Holler und Democracy.
The following interesting extracts are
taken from a recent speech made by
Gen. Renjamin F. Rutler, the Demo
cratic Governor-elect, of Massachusetts:
"We have the eyes of the people
turned—in the whole nation and in tho
State— to the Democratic party. For
now more than a quarter of a century,
so far as this Slate is concerned, the ad
ministration has been in the hands of
one party. For more than a score of
years has the administration of the
general government been in the hands
of the same party. Rut, for more than
70 years, with a lew exceptions, up to
the time of the war, the administration
of the government had been in tjjw|
hands of the Democratic party ; and in
and by that party, and from its states
uiunship, its love of country, its desire
for the nation's progress, came all the
extension of our territory until the sun
NOW RISE* AND SETS
upon the land of the United States.
We bad first, under Jefferson, the que*
.ion of the Mississippi river, Louisiana
and the great West, extending far up
the Missouri, and all its territories.
That was opposed by the opposition
party of that day as a ruinous thing to
the country. Who now would give up
the Mississippi river, the Missouri and
the West to any power on earth?
Next followed the little peninsula of
Florida, acquired by the Democratic
party. Next followed the empire State
of Texas, that State more than one
third larger in territory than the repub
lie of France, and, in this day, in this
hour, developing, by the richness of ita
•oil and the beauty of its clime, into an
empire of itself, destined to he divided
into four States of this Union, each
greater in territory, and in the next
decade in population, thsn the terri
tory of New England. What next ?
Texas we acquired as esrly as 1844 and
1845. It gave rise to the war with
Mexico, where the conquering armies of
the republic, under the men of the
Democratic administration, planted the
glorious stars aod stripes over the City
of Mexico, and over all that splendid
dominion north of Central America.
Did we acquire anything by that Con
quest? No, hut we acquired the right
to buy and pay for, honestly and fairly,
the great empire of the Pacific coast.
Arixona and New Mexico, and that ter
ritory which lies between < iregon and
Central America. These are the acqui
sitions of the Democratic party. These
are the results of its statesmanship, the
outgrowth of it* principles ; these are
the jewels to which we point. Ry the
changing of opinions upon the question
which unfortunately brought w*r u|on
the country, the Democratic party was
per INTO TUX MINOKITY,
and for 20 odd years there hss been nn
opportunity for I>emocrstie statesmen
or Democratic statesmanship to assert
themselves in the government of the
country. It may be—it is not now the
time to discuss it—it may have been
the grievous fault of the Democracy,
but grievously have we answered it. and
the fact that to the Democratic soldiers
we owe the unity, strength, power and
glory of the country is sn answer to it.
I Applause.) And now the Republican
party, composed of good, (rue and Iron
est men in the mass—for the mass of
men are always honest snd patriotic, to
whatever party they may owe their al
legiance—baring conducted through its
administration the war of the Union,
and having settled, with more or less
wisdom, as the case msy be, all the
queations arising out of the war, now
attempts to bold the country by virtue
of an organisation begun in a sentiment
of freedom and equal rights, and end
ing in almost a confederated corrup
tion. When the country finds itself in
this condition, where should it turn for
relief, where should it look for symp*
thy, where should it look for reform,
where should it look for economy,
where should it look for honestv of ad
ministration, where ahpuld it look for
all the qualities wbicn brought this
country from an infant republic to a
great nation, hut to the Democratic
party. [Great applause.) And if they
turn to us is the Democratic partv equal
to the taak f It becomes our duty to
teach the people that the sons are ss the
father, equal to anything that conduces
to the glory, honor and perpetuity of
free institutions. [Applause.| Let us
then justify, so far as we may, the con
fidence that the people have begun to
repose in u*. Whether is the councils
of the nation, wherein we now beve an
assured majority, or in the councils of
the State, let us so conduct ourselves
that every man shall say
"RELCOM TIIE DAY
when the Domocratic inrty returned tho
power, which it* principle* demand they
should have, which ita statesmen dhow
they know how to use, and that power
which never ha* been exercised except
for tho good of man, and the equality of
all men beforo all." For myself, re
turning to you, and each of you, again
and again, thank* for your kindness,
for your support, for your confidence, I
earnestly pray Almighty God to give mo
that discernment and wisdom und sa
gacity which *hall lead me, in any
sphere of duty to which I am called, to
do all that man may do to justify tho
confidence, the kindness, the love and
affection shown to me by the people of
Massachusetts in the late demonstra
tion which we havo met to celebrate.

(•rant and Porter.
In no other act of Gen. Grant's life
ha* he shown so much moral I'ourage aa
was manifested about a year ago, in hi*
declaration that Gen. Kit* John Porter
had been unju*lly convicted and that,
consequently, the stigma borne by tliat.
brave, proud and sensitive man for
twenty year* was entirely undeserved.
In expressing this conclusion Gen. Grant
ws* compelled to confess that he had
been guilty of great wrong toward Gen.
Porter; that, for fifteen year*, during
which he had been General of the army
and President of the United States, he
had persistently turned a deaf ear to
Porter's appeals for a chance to vindi
cate himself; that, during all those
years Porter had borne the torture of s
cruel disgrace which might have been
removed, had the General or the Presi
dent been willing to permit the injured
man to present the facts in hi* posse*
sion. Put this seif humiliation was not.
all the sacrifice that Gen. I Irani made in
declaring that Porter was innocent.
The most intimate personal and politi
cal frieuds of Gen. Grant were the chief
opponent* of Porter's demand for justice
For instance, Gen. Logan bail, hut a
few months before that time, made a
three day > speech in the Senate calcu
lated to arouse all the old bitterness
against Porter that had raged when he.
a brave, loyal and gallant officer a* ever
drew a sword, was deliberately sacrificed
by a sentence more cruel than death, in
order to shield incompetency and grati
fy malice. Many other close friends of
Gen. Grant were us intensely hostile a*
Gen. Logan to the claim of Porter. To
confess so deep and irreparable a wrong
on his own part, and to take ground
against the friends with whose view*
and feelings in the matter he bad been
in hearty accord, was a braver act than
leading a charge. Rttf Grant is not the
roan to turn hack, or to falter or quibble
when he has determined on a course of
action. 11 is not surprising, therefore,
that he has taken occasion for a careful
presentation of his view* on the Porter
case in the Xorlh liry ou . In
this article the grounds of Grant's con
clusion that Porter was unjustly con
victed are clearly set fourth. There
ought to be manliness enough in Uon
gres* to pass a bill without a dissenting
voice, providing for such si ght repara
tion as is possible for the unexampled
wrongs which Porter has horn for twen
ty years. We are glad to he able to say
of General Grant that, in leaving i*>lii
tics, he seems to have left behind tho*.e
offensive habits that gave ju*t cause for
frequent and severe censure. And the
farther he gets away from the Stalwarts
the more his old-time self asserts itself.
The true friends of General Grant will
command his magazine article on Porter
as sincerely as they were compelled to
condemn his utterances in relation to
General Hancock in the summer of
1880.— Washington /'"rt.
Tablrs Turned.
Nearly all the Democrat* who were
"fired out" of their seats in the present
Uongresss are coming hack to the next,
each with "blood in iiis eyes." During
last session, when the Republicans
were having a hard lime to get a quorum
with which to unseat Dibble and Till
man, Paul of Virginia, Readjuster, came
to their aid, and Dibble was unseated.
Now Dibble is reelected by a large ma
jority and Paul is <fn the ragged edge,
liis claims to a re election being Lkely
to he contested. In view of this change
of situation Dibble, the other day, sent
Paul the following telegram .
CBAXI.EETOX, 8. C„ Nov. 9.

Tillman, the other South Corolins
i Democrat unseathd, is also rehired, and
• Smalls, his colored rival for the seat, is
omitted. He will doubtless remind the
other side of his prophetic speech made
just before the final vote on his rase,
in which he said : "I go, hut I return
again, and to a Democratic House."
Finley, of Florida, who was unseated,
1 returns this time, having carried his
! grievance to the polls and beaten His
l>ee. Republican, who was given the
contested seat last election,
Chalmers, whose seat was given to

How the Defeated Candidates Take 11.
General Reaver discusses the election
freely aud philosophically with his
; neighbors and exhibits his usual
1 good cheer. He was undoubtedly dis
< appointed in bia defeat, as he was one
|of few who hoped against hope to
the last ; but he says that he is satisfied
with the result j that he did his duty
to the best of his ability, and that none
could do more. He highly complimen
ted Pattison as a patriotic and worthy
man. He says that he will now devote
himself exclusively to his profession.
Henator Stewart being asked what he
thought of the probable character of the
democratic administration said : "B">ce
we are to have a democratic administra
tion it is a source of great satisfaction to
know that the bead of it la a gentleman
of unexceptional private character, ol
broad ana liberal viewa, and with the
leaai possible taint of Rourhonism." He
also said that the independent organi
zation would be kept up ; that he was
not disappointed in the sise of his vote,
and that be would forget polities and
practice law.

Chief Engineer* Melville'* very modest
account to-day of hi* sledge trip to Hen

"The island is a desolate rock, sur

' of hi* life went through the terrible

from fear refused to follow their humun

, upon this island in spite of the super
| human difficulties be encountered ia
reckoned a brave and meritorious action
I it will not be from any failure on my part
to make it known."

TORONTO, November 17.—About eigh"

farmer named Andrew Porteou*. Hi*
wife left him and ran otf with another
man, having first stripped his house of
nil elfec'a of value. Sji* went away
with a young man who was engaged to
one of the handsomest girl* in the
township of Anraster. A well-to-do
farmer, named Moffat, allowed hi*
daughter to go and keep house for For
teous, with the result that in the course
of time the young housekeeper f>ore a
daughter to Forteou*. Forteous had to
leave the township m consequence and
went away to f 'alifornia. Nothing was
heard of him for year*. At last he
heard that hi* wife wa* dead and he re
turned to Canada, intending to make
Mary Moffat his wife and atone for the
wrong he had done her. He came *•
far a* Hamilton during the Great Cen

on John street, met an old neighbor
an.l learned from him that the mother
of hi* child was married and living in
Caledonia. He felt so bad at the new*
that he never weal to see them, but
parked up and left again.
The other day he returned to Canada
a second lime, bound to see hi* child if
not her mother. He re|*ured to the
Scotch Block, got an old neighbor to
tell him of the whereabout* of Mary,
Moffat and accompany him thereto,
drove to Caledonia and up to the hou*e
