Editor Democrat : lue sixth industrial lair ot the Mechanics’ Institute opened about mid day ot Saturday lust, lu the eve ning there was a great display of rockets at the Jroilt on Stockton street, and u great toot ing of horns: i suppose I should call it music by u brass band aud all sorts of instru meins. The Pavilion—if such an immense struct urecau be properly so called—is lighted by about 14UU gas burners. The *'Mechanic* Fair Daily I'rcss, ’ of which 1 send you the tirot nuuibei, calls it I’JUU. but they make a number ol errors tj my certain knowledge. Ua Monday, (yesterday ), lue steam Engines were pul in motion. Tnere was one little En gine, ilie entire cylinder ol which is not in itiigih more than .-ix, and the stroke ot its pis ton about lour inches, that worked with such quickness that the eye could scarce ea'ch its motion ; hut it was curious to see this little pigmy steam pony drive quue u large piece ot machinery ; and it conveyed to the mind a notion ol the power ol steam more vivid than is conceived hy watching the working of the two larger engines, that were also running, t his little steam engine was built by a vouih named Uooert Blair in the lirst year ot his apprenticeship. The engines are all placed inside ol llie main building ; but the furn aces and steam boilers are in a separate ad joining building. \V iih a single line ol shutting lIIU teet long and several supple mental siialts, with policy wheels enough to carryall the machinery ot the largest muu ulacturii.g establishment, mere is very little machinery at the Fair ; aud none attractive lor skill ot workmanship. Sewing tuudiines, and the fabrics they are used upon, are largely represented. Cut lery, mechanic s tnol-, saws of every deserip Hon, and brass IbianJery work, all uiaiiufac lured in our 6t.ae, make cousiderale display, but what attracted my attention most were the beao.ilul woolen fabrics, which gave piutuise that the Pacilic world was destined 10 rival ail the world beside in the manufac ture ot wool, Itiere is a great variety ot these including the finest and heaviest Ulan keis and flannels 1 ever saw. 1 noticed also some heavy cloths, similar to the English and Freudi Beaver, which for softness ot material, evenness and beauty of linisli, might satisly a fastidious taste, if made in to gentlemen's apparel. Also lor ladies wear, a very large assortment of heavy lig urtd woo.en s.tiß's, generally with* light ground and small spoiled ligure, such°as are worn m sucks or Jackets, were quite noticeable as exhibting the skill and prog iess m woolen manufactures in this new world. Arranged upon stands, platforms and ta bles, or enclosed in show cases and h rail ings are to be seen the various articles of utility as well us of elegance and luxury, spread all over the ground Hour of the Pavil ion, a vast area 272 feet long and ISO wide, its chief beauty as a whole, perhaps, is to be found in ns great variety. And when one sees so many evidences ol*Art and fine mech anism in one giand Collection ..II pro duce.! in our midst—one can scarcely bel.eve, that Cal.foiuia has risen op sq gracefully and symmetrically from its barbarous cradle ol twenty years ago. It is » very pleasing sight to ascend to the gallery, and, standing at the eastern end. to gme uown upon the scene when lighted by gas light. The countless jets oMighl in ihemseues, stretching along in rows on either side and enclosing a vista of nearly oUU leet in length, is a s.ght both novel and pleasing, in the very midst the fountain is seen with three principal jets of clear epark bug water; the centre jet throwing its per pendicular column from 20 to 25° feet and descending in a glittering spray into the ba sin below. A ear by a Gordon power press carried by belling Irom tne main shaft, is operating in the printing of the last remain ing page of the "Mechanic*’ Fair Daily Iress (.» being the first page :) aud as last as it is printed, it is distributed among the curious waning crowd. Then in congrega te arraj, *e behold the gorgeous display *ji many fineries ; the view embracing the whole vast collection, enriched to the smht by its endless variety. And there, through the meandering passage ways, moves the crowd. ere are men, theie are boys and girls: t tere are even some old ladies; but there are likewise eomp fair, beautiful women in instthe beautiful time of life, who, whilst g iding t.iruugh that brilliant place seem, no oubt, to the young bloods like houris ot a airy land, or like the nymphs of paradise. nt, at the very least, the whole tout ensem f'.t is a very pretty sight. And the music from the raised stand at the we.-t end of the gallery, which at short intervals regales the ears ut visitors, will aid the imagination in conjuring up a very delightful fairy scene *‘ ul .’h e splendid pageant before him. lliere is a great variety of flags flying : per haps the flags of ai! nations ; but I cannot decide that point ; yet I think such was the design in their display. In addition to what is contained in the large room of the Pavilion a great variety of pianos, melodeons, etc. occupy the north-east loom at the front, its dimensions being 3o by fid feet; while the south east room of the same sue contains the well supplied Fair Restaurant ; and visitors from the country, it they choose l need have no occasion to quit the pavilion grounds, except to seek ibeir lodgiags or make ibeir toilet. At the west end is the long room occupied ns a Picture Gallery. This room is 205 feet long and 30 tret wide. Ihe principal Photographists of the city, here make their display of pictures including sun pearls and stereoscopic views. Portrait and landscape painters are quite extensively represented. One of the former notifies the public in a placard, that his pic* lures are not photographs. No slur is in tended upon the Sun for his want of power to take natural looking pictures, 1 suppose ; or for his waul of intelligence and light upon the subject. And yet, 1 don’t see. that the notice is necessary except to a blind man. All the pa.ntn.gs, I thought, looked very well by gas light and at a certain distance. In fact, with some of them, “distance lends enchantment to the view.” Many pretty things, besides pictures, have found a place in this long room. The pict ures are chiefly hung around, or arranged in cases along the sides of the room ; ns for in stance. card photographs and sun pearls; while through the centre are ranged glass cases containing models of ships and various other things. Even along the sides, the mo notony of picture viewing is happily relieved tor those who are not especially in love with paint and canvas, by a variety of objects in terspersed among the former. At night, the entire Pavilion is so well lighted by gas, that one can see to' read the finest print : and by day, the sunlight, (sometimes —when it ain’t foggy.) streams through nearly SOO.sushes or about 5000 glass panes. J. X. Stoxk. . Beautiitli-y Ex tressed. —The Democrats of Springfield, Illinois, held an immense and enthusiastic ratification meeting on the 22d of July. General John A. McClcrnand ad' dressed the meeting and after highly eulo gizing Seymour and Blair said : These arc the men Wi.om the Democracy have nominated, and the platform of princi ples upon which they stand is equally wor thy of your acceptance and support. The principles of Democracy are coeval with Ijberty and the rights of man. They are the principles of the Constitution which bind together these States as a common wh Jc, ami which lately upheld the American pen pie in a degree of prosperity unexampled in the history of nations. They recognize vir tue and intelligence as the basis and stay of all free government, and acknowlege the right and capacity of the people to govern themselves. They affirm the equality of the States, arid forbid Federal interference in their domestic institutions. They set bounds to the action of Congress, and would ex clude tmm tbeir jurisdiction whatever is not nominated in the Federal bond and does not concern the States ns a collective whole. They condemn class leigislation, as tending to make the rich richer and the poor poorer— as tending to build up a privileged aristo cracy upon the rains of liberty and the rights of the people. They are opposed to the policy that would create a public debt ami preserve it as a public blessing ; that would impose burtheusome taxes as a means of strengthening and enriching the hands of power. TJiey are in favor of a plain govern ment, void ol pomp, protecting all and grant ing favors to none. They reject the dogma that a public debt is a public blessing, and inculcate the duty of paying off the Govern ment indebtedness as rapidly ns may be, in legal tender notes when available, except where the law expressly calls for payment in coin. They enjoin, as an imperative duty, the correction of existing abuses in the public administration ; the retrenchment of extrav agant and unnecessary expenses ; the repres sion and punishment of peculation and cor ruption in office ; the revision and simplifica tion of our complex reverue system ; the encouragement of honest industry and useful public enterprise ; the equalization of taxes so as to reach all classes according to the value of their property, and last, but not leas', the firm and effectual maintenance of the rights of American citizens against the world, wherever they may be and wherever the place of their nativity. (Tremendous applause.) With this platform and these can didates to personify if, will not, shall not, our march to victory be as certain as the on ward sweep of the Mississippi to its outlet in the Gulf?—ns majestic and glorious as the blazing course of the sun from the eastern hemisphere to the meridian heavens? (Great and prolonged applause.) The Cuicago Platform.— The resolutions of the Republican National Convention are so manifestly non-committal and insincere as to excite the disgust of the respectable por lion of the Republican party. The New York Times, while supporting the “spits upon the platform,” as follows; A Republican convention in 1868 ought to have been able to present something more effective than promises. The party has been in power Jong enough to have gathered a rich store of performances. It should have been able to go before the country with a record of services rendered in regard both to retrenchment and taxation. The public purse has been for years altogether in its hands. It has had exclusive management of ihe appropriations and exclusive power over the forms and amount of taxation. How happens it, then, that in a platform intended to set forth its claims to a continued confi dence it has nothing better to offer than resolves in favor of reforms which it has ob stinately and culpably neglected? Why is it that no serious attempt has beeji made to enforce even moderate economy, and that in consequence, the abolition of taxes must be followed by their reimposition or by a large addition to the debt? These are weak spots in the party s record. They are a condem nation to its recent congressional career, and sorry exemplification of fidelity and capacity in fiscal and financial affairs. Of course its in the past are not a reason for omtuing a pledge for the future. But they detract somewhat from the strength of the platform as relates to these subjects, and may also serve to moder the confidence every Republican is supp„ : i to feci in the hold of hig party upon the intelligenre and patriotism of the country. (Samarml Grant and Hla Admlrara We bare been satisfied heretofore with set ting forth the views of General Grant as in terpreted by his own orders. We have not cared to bold responsible tor his bold iniqui ties the strong political element that has placed its fortune in his hands and looks to success in his victory. Ours not being a poli tical paper, it is not our province to discuss this or that policy, or to thrust our interpre tations of political principles on our sub senbers. We believe they are as capable of forming an opinion upon the questions that agitate the public mind as we. Thev have, doubtless, considered the question involved in the elevation of an inferior race to power, and can sift out of the modern maxim ‘‘equal ity before the b w’’just bow ranch chaff goes to the w heat. In the meanwhile we express ly decline to apply the fan to it, when each has one ot his own more efficient, and deter mine the amount of justice intended for all tnen, the practical example of General Grant's oppressive orders. we must not aitogether separate Grant from Grant’s supporters. A leader who is perfectly reticent, and expects favor on the distinct ground that he has no settled princi ples, or policy of government, can only be interpreted by his past acts, and the spirit and prolession of his avowed friends. We have General Grant’s order to leach us first who he is. A critical rending shows that the Jews arc not expel led from his lines tor violating trade regulations. The order docs not say that the Jews shall be expelled from the lines because they have violated the order. It makes no discrimination between those who did, and those who did not violate the regulations, us certainly the order would hu\e none if that was the cau-e. It a pro lessing baptist or Methodist errs, we do not penitentiary all Methodist or baptists, be cause a Jew violated a law no one would think of exterminating ~H J«ws. No ; the order reads that the Jews ns n class—ns a religion—shall be expelled. The offense is not a breach of the trade regula tions, for General Grant s father, us was developed in a lawsuit at Cincinnati, was violating these regulations with his sou’s permission. It the order hud been to expel “all violating trade regulations,” General Grant and his father would have both been included. That was not the offense. It was being Jews that provoked him, and the order was not directed against “Jews violating irude regulations,” but “Jews as a class.” It meant their religion, and nothing else. They were to be expelled for holding certain religions opoiuions. We call attrition to another fact; to an other iniquity in the case. In the example cued last we k of cruelly and torture of the Jews, by Monks and Abbots in the middle ages ; by King John and by Ferdinand and Isabella, there was an excuse. The religious bigots believed they were doing the work of God. It must have been a cruel and mon strous God they idealized, unlike “the meek and lowly Jesus ’ they profess to worship. Y*et they believed they were doing His work. Isabella, the Catholic, a fierce zealot, but otherwise noble, certainly thought so. and was cruel by constraint of her religion. General Gjant has no such excuse. He is openly and professedly indifferent on religious subjects, JSio one has ever represented him as caring for his own soul or the everlasting weltnre of others. He was not actuated by a religious lauaticism ; it was not the madden ed lu ry of a bigot. It was the cool, deliberate malice ol one us near an infidel as a Christian. A man who opposed Jews -not in the cause of Christianity, but of narrow, intense preju dice to a class. Let us see, now, who the supporters of this infidel oppressor, of this atheistical tyrant, are. For example, the Harrisburg Telegraph , one of Grant's organs at the capital of Penn sylvania, says : “ine Jews of the Southwest, or such of them as were sutlers and bummers in the army under Grant, it will be remembered, behaved shamefully, robbing, debauching and demoralizing the troops to such a degree that he was compelled to eject them from his lines.” This is a gross slander, to support which the Harrisburg paper has not one iota of proof. We had as well say the Pennsylva nians were notorious bummers and thieves, and expect belief. It is a falsehood made for the occasion. Y'et when made, it dues not support the order of Grant. The Telegraph says, “or such of them (the Jews) as were sutlers and bummers,” behaved shamefully. This is a new and altogether different charge. Gen. Grant did not order all sutlers out of his lines ; and he did not order anybody out of his lines fur “behaving shamefully, rob bing, debauching and demoralizing.” They might stay and rob and debauch at will, Gen. Grunt said nothing against it, hut if they were Jews they were sent out. The charge was not of crimes, but being Jews. II Grant bad ordered out Jews and Gentiles who had violated orders, not a word would have been said. This vile slander, therefore, a new falsehood, is entirely false, scandalous, and without foundation. Our readers can see that the original slander of Grant is to be followed by a long line of similar scandal by his followers. The mode of argument among these organa is exemplified further in this item which we take from the Mewberry (Iowa) Herald, It says : “1 he Jews, as a class, are distinguished pre-eminently above all other people lor their characteristic dishonesty and thieving pro pensities. It is a part of their faith lu prey upon and rub Christians. After having violated every military law pertaining to trade in the Department of Tennessee during the war, General Grunt banished them from the department and forbid them ever returning to it. We say good. The Jews are all Democrats anyhow. Wo never heard of a Jewish soldier during the war on either side. They did not care an itinerant tinker’s cuss how the war terminated. Their object was to mike money out of it. They formed, mainly the mytaids of vultures that preyed constantly a'd mercilessly on the poor, half naked, hungry soldiers. Fur every Republi can Jew that, by the sort of reasoning adopted by the Courier and oth.r similar journals is induced to vote against Grant, a dozen 'de cent. honest. Christian while men will be in duced to vote for him.” The very grossness of this intolerable slan der defeats its end. This no doubt is a de fender after Gram’s own heart. If we sup NUMBER 11 pose him capable of writing a -defense of his conduct, that is exactly the line and style of General Grant. It speaks esactlr the senti ments of the order that expelled the Jewe as a class. We call attention to these charges. The Jew?, as is well known, conduct a great part of the business of this country. There are biack sheep among them, we a'llow • but we speak an admitted truth in saying that the “Jew, as a class,” are exceedingly tenacious of their commercial honor. They are exact “n their dealings, close and prompt in their payments. In every respect their honesty and integrity are shown by their success', and it is a postive rule that strict honor is sure ot success, and success presupposes an honorable career. try it l*y another test. Idleness is the mother of crime ; thrift follows industry. N l>o you ever see a Jew idle or vagabondising? Uo you ever see a Jew beggar? Is it not known positively that such a thing is impossi ble from the very nature of his being. That no matter how poor, weak, halt or sick thu Jew may be he will not beg. ana he will work Hccor ling to his skill, and alwavs industrious ly. Vt e appeal to known commercial opinion, lo criminal court rocurds j to ihe.r marked industry, and singular aversion to. and Ires dom lrom beggary, as u proof ( ,f Jewish in. legnty—as a proof ol ilie base defamation of that paper. Throughout the war we claim the Jews filled ail their obligations with fideli ty. No Jewish traitor was found in the rank and file ot either army j no Jewish spy was caught among them. No Jew has been charged with the gross and extensive frauds on the Government, or with the corrupt poli tical bargains ot the day. They are above reproach and unrivaled in the pervicacity of their citizenship. I heir patiiotism is not an idle sentiment, but is n part of their religions belief—the duty to an ever present Jehovah. Their honesty is founded on the rock of re ligion, is guarded by ten thousand teachings from those II dy Writings that furnish them guidance for their humblest and most important actions. To the Jew God is present. llis religion works into his business, guides his commer cial honor ; strengthens his moral obligations. To say “it is » part of their faith to prey upon and rob Christians,” is a gross blas phemy of that very book upon which these Christians vest their faith, and which this tnlidcl professes to believe. In this one respect Jew and Christian hold the same, faith, founded on the same book—the Old lestament—which bids them to do justice to one another, and to all men, and we believe the Jews act upon It fully as well ns the L hristains—certainly with more charity and honesty than this fellow of the Herald , who in charging hatred on the Jews exhibits his own wicked, intolerant and cruel hatred, and stands out n tit advocate and supporter of General Grant.— Jewish Sentinel, June 20.
