Party Names.

Republican, Wing, Democrat, we understand
these. II Democratic REPUBLICAN is not a
black back-bird, and If Democratic Vino is
not tohite black-bird, then how is iti
Woodstock (Vt) Age.
1s We will try to help our perplexed CO.
temporary. A Democratic Republican in Vir-
ginia is one who framed and sticks to consti-
tuition which allows rich man to vote in every
County where he has property and don't allow
poor man TO vote at all-and insists that
Counties containing three-eghts of the Free
Population shall govern the whole State In
New Hampshire he allows all white men to
vote, but insists that Catholics and poor men
shall not be allowed to hold the more response
bic Offices. In all the South, he advocates o.
penly the absolute eternal subsection of hall the
Human Race as chattes to the will and pleas
ure of the other hall, and denounces the wings
as hostile TO the 'institution.' In the North
he is known and boosted of as the natural ay'
Of this domestic business. We agree, then,
with the Age, that Democratic Republican
is black black bird--very black indeed.
WING, on the other hand, is foe of ar
bitrary, despotic, irresponsible power--and a
DEMocRATIc Wing is in perfect consistency
with this, foe Of the sway Of one man, and an
advocate ofthe rule Of the People.

Here we have specimen of Locofoco harmony
about names The Woodstock Age is repudiatnr
the term used by nearly half his party, comparing
it with that of black blackbird There is an
organ fthe party published in Haverhl, N. II. of
long standing, called THE Democratic Republi.
can Perhaps the editor of the Age would do well
to ask the Haverhill editor the meaning of the
term. 1t is not many years, we think, since
Democratic Republican Ticket headed the list of
Locofoco candidates for state officers in Vermont.
W5- The Patriot attempts to make some
thing OF a story out of the circumstance that
after the unanimous adoption by the nominat-
ing committee chosen from the several counties
to present State Ticket to the Wing Con-
vention, some one moved to take up their re-
port and vote upon each name separately
This motion was made by person who was
requested TO do it, and had especial reference to
the candidate for Treasurer. This desire was
occasioned by the existence Of point in dis
pute, and upon which different individuals had
different views, and which the locos of course
used and would use for their selfish purposes.
1t was desirable that the facts should come out
The main point is this ;-the Treasurer paid an
order of 500 TO one individual when some
thought it should have been paid TO another
The result was full discussion on both sides
of the question and the act of the Treasurer
considered right. The Patriot thinks there
was one individual who dissented. And is not
all this right? The locos had told their big
stories, as they no doubt will again, and the |
Wings took the occasion to silt them, and af-
ter doing so found them utterly false This is |
the state Of the case as we understand it, and
we have yet TO learn that il is a very great
crime TO inquire into the conduct of public Of |
hcer, whenever his name is presented to the |
consideration of his friends, even though his |
conduct may be questioned either by friend or
foe.- Caledonian.
Shouts of the Doughfaces.-It is natural
that the South and Washington Union, as the |
paid organ of Southern administration, should
shout over the annexation Of Texas. They
have gained great triumph at the expense Of
the North. But it is not natural or becoming
that Northern doughfaces or their organs
should so exult. II argues base and degraded
nature, dead to all sense of shame. Southern
slaves do not make merry in their chains, as
they are dragged 10 the deadly swamps of
Texas. why then should the Northern serfs |
OF the same masters be Joyful The chains of
slavery are on their souls, if not their limbs
They are sold to the South, and for mess Of
pottage. Where is Martin Pan Buren, and /
every other Northern democrat that dared TO
say his soul was his own, All, all dead! And
yet the hireling sycophants that fed on his
bounty in his day of power, and Knocked his
ears with lying tales of eternal gratitude, are
shouting over the cause OF his downfall! Base
varlets BECOME! Hide yourselves from univer-
sal scornl Hear we not the Kisses OF the free
and true in every breeze? Away!

Singular Case.-A fine cow, belonging 10
Mr. William Feeter, Of Mannheim, died few
days since from some internal ailing, having
taken her food and drink with difficulty for sew
eral months past. Resolved, if possible, 10 as
certain the nature of her disease, Mr. F. had
post mortem examination of the animal, when
a ive milk snake, nearly three feet long, was
found in her stomach and was accidentally
severed by the knife of the operator. In what
manner and at what time the reptile got there,
is OF course a matter OF pure conjecture; but
the most reasonable opinion seems TO be, that
the COW must have swallowed il when very
young, in drinking, and that il was subsequent
ly nourshed on the food taken into the cows
stomach. -Herk. Free.
We pay for heating the Poker. Ready
and anxious as our Government has been TO
pay any and every claim that Texas preferred,
there were, it seems, few items overlooked
during the Washington negotiation. These
were recently brought to the consideration of
our Charge, Mr. Donelson, by President Jones.
Among them is the expenses attending the
election of Delegates and the expenses Of the
Convention, which was elected and met to rat
ify the Treaty of Annexation. Mr. Donelson
of course assures President Jones that this will
all be attended 10 at Washington; that we are
so anxious to marry Texas that we not only
take her dowerless, but in debt, and pay the
bridal expenses. All this might be endured if
We were marrying into decent famy,'-if
our betrolhed were either beautiful, accom-
