tits iaughabIe to witness the billing and COO
ing just now going on from Ashland 10 Wash
ington. ''United we stand-divided, we fall,
seems TO be the MOTTO although il is not used IN
its usual sense; for the unity consists solely IN
opposition 10 an Administration, whose boast 1t
is. TO have thrown of party trammels, and by
judicous selection Of officers, prove its claim TO
the noble motto "NulliuS addictus jurare
in perba magistri."
II is full lime that honest politicians, OF all par
ties, should sean the character Of their drirers-
ay, drivers that's the word-ior the mass OF both
parties are held in for more servile bondage than
any slave. Men should look around them, and
examine with what conscience they can shout
their 10 peans for 1.-THE PARTY" when they in
wardly disapprove ofthe base machinery used TO
oblain-what2 Why, literally plumber for the
camp followers, the yultures of the battle field,
that prowl around the dying soldier whose last
blow was struck for his country, and who, cal
lous TO decency, honor, shame-every thing
This is what we have fought about for long
series OF years, and who have been the galners2
Not the plain and sober citizen, who serves his
country for his country's good-not the modest,
though talented, patriot, who would fly to his
arms at the sound of the tocsin. No, no, none
Of these--the base and servile Kitchener, whose
principle is regulated by his interest-the mod
ern Wears of Bray-the bully Bobadils-the
tavern brawler who can drag from the dens of
infamy and sham the poor deluded Judas to sa-
cri6ce his rights, as an American freeman, on
the altar Of Mammon! THEsE-THEsE-ARE
THE PARTY MEN
do no, include YOU, sir, IN this latter cata
logue, although your talents might permit you to
claim high rank upon it, But you ARE SUI
GENERIs--in the words of your great leader,
solitary aud alone Your text book is fur
nshed with all the choice extracts Of the Carte
dictionary must lose lis sale unless 1t is adorned
with choice morcedur from the Globe since its
commencement. What AN enviable reputation |!
And how must the chivalric blood of Carolina
boil with indignation horror-at the con-
tamination such coalition engendered. Thank
NUu we are SOOH W De TeledStu from It's lTdUl-
mes, and it should be the prayer Of every true
Republican that it may and FOREVER Alas /!
that it should have even begun
owe you no personal enmity, and even my po-
lltical animosity Is imbued with pity at your de-
clinng course. Your star, even when in its me-
ridian brightness, might have warned you Of its
deceitful lusre. Facts have nolo proved it TO
YOU Who looks to the Globe for authority
Who for a cue wherewith TO guide the Demo
cracy 2-who for counsel and direction in the
coming contest2 None-none--none
Believe me, do not wish your aid in favor OF
any object; your condemnation is the surest
proof OF the patriotism and justice of a cause,
and the pollution would be far more than any
party would be willing TO bear. Ring forth,
therefore, according to the bellows of the Mis-
souri, mastadon in the Senate. II is the dying
roar of the animal, ere the vital spark has fed
