The Newark Daily Advertiser gives This
happy Illustration of the wholly unf'nnded
claims Of the Loco-Focos to the title of
Democrats:
Zone of our contemporaries has well re-
marked in relation to the pretenslon of the
Federal Executive party 10 the name of
'Dcmccracy, that the little finger Of these
men is thicker than the loins of old FEEDER
n!ist-. They wear the old cloak OF demo-
cracy, but they have so patched and botch-
ed it, that there i, nothing left of the origl-
nal texture.
Their dem ocracy is like the mans jack
knife He had single bladed knife which
ha has carried for thirty years-snmmer and
winler--year in aud year out, he had car
ned that knife. He wouldn't take any sum
for it, because he carried it so long-in the
course Of which time it had had nine nc,v
BLADES aud thirteen ns'o handleS."

Tie House, for the two last days. has
been engaged in business dull enough to
leokers.on, but OF vast interest TO those pri
vate individuals who, for many years, have
been seeking justice from their government
The House has now actually passed, since
Yesterday morning. one hundred and sixty
bills. These were well known to be the
last private bill days, as the public will EN-.
ploy Congress every day from this time till
the third Of March; push was therefore
made to get through with rs many bills as
possible. A rule was adopted that every
biz objected TO and likely TO create discus
sion, should be laid aside The objection OF
a single member to any bill was, therefore,
fatal. In one case, the friend of certain
bill, called for the reading OF the report ac-
companying it, in order TO shew its justice !;
but objections were Immediately made to
the bill account merely Of the delay which
the reading report OF half a page would
cause, and the bill was laid aside wiihs hun
dreds Of others, 10 slumber till the next Ses-
sion, and then mayhnp, to meet the same
fate. There is not doubt that many of the
bills objected to and thrown overheard are
quite as just aud equitable as those bills
which had the luck to get through Every
years experience shows that Congress is
nota proper tribunal for the adjustment of
such claims ms these. There should be a
Board of Commissioners 10 decide upon all
Of the ordinary disputes between the Gov
eminent and individuals, according to the
proposition of Mr.. T.. Whittlesey-which
Congress has most unwisely hesitaied to
ndopi, to do that which the spirit of British
freedom has, in times past, prevented mon.
'rchs from doing--viz--to deny or delay
Justice.

hurry, reported in hurry, and then pushed
through the House with a locomotive speed.
This is the case with one Of the bills passed
to-day.
Mr. Cambreleng manifested disposition
to resort TO one of his Oldest and most com.
mon tricks for the purpose Of hurrying the
action Of the House upon his Bills Let mo
illustrate one of these efforts.
In the last Congress,-long session, an
appropriation was asked for million as an
item, or part appropriation for the prosecu.
ton Of the Florida war; Opposition was
made to the manner Of proposing the esti.
mates, and to the manner Of conducting tho
war. Mr. Cambreleng, as quick as fash
jumps upon his feet and asks the members of
Congress if it is their wish that the savages
OF Florida shall kill the unolending women
and children Of the territory. This was Mr.
Cnmbrelengs false issue there
To-day, when opposition was made rs to
the manner OF making up the estimates for
the Bill for the defence OF the Northern FROM
tier, Mr. Cambreleng with wonderful earn
estness, springs TO the opposition" Gentle
men,-are you not willing that an appropri-
alton should be made TO keep the country
from being plunged into war with Great
Britain ~
This is the way Mr. Cambreleng and
some others humbug Congress and the peo-
pie. All opposition to extravaganza or to
the manner Of expanding money is at once
turned into opposition TO The object for which
the appropriation was made. Thus in 1897,
the Wings were for having The citizens OF
Florida murdered by bands ofsavages, worse
than hordes Of the widest Bedouins of the
desert In 1889 they are for plunging the
country into a war with Great Britain.

true to the country, but dlsloyal TO Van Blu

consisted in his fearless, able and trium.

ceasing to do wrong that he has lost caste
