I5%Tt is a curious fact that Wehsfer's
speech down East is severely criticised by Il
portion Of the Wing press. colby received hy

ocra'ic press uniformly. with one or two ,X-
ccplions Il Loa. Democrat.
Yet the leading Democratic paper in Ind
ana. the State Sentinel, says that v ebster's
speech contains 'niost infamous ibels against
the Democratic party" and that e it should
damn him to The lowest depth OF political per
diuon." Thus Democracy h"rmonizes in It's
opinions, In the North, the Wing press does
certainly most favor the speech-and it is a
compliment to them that they 90 so. because
it shows the spirit is IN the party which can
be patriotic to the North and liberal to the

A Man EATEN BY WoLvEs.-The New

the following horrible account Of ii man being
destroyed by wolves near that place:
On the night of the 4h inst. terrible
drama, without precedent. perhaps in the
annals Of our country, occurred in the val
ley of The Azure. A ptdIar WAS returning
from the village of S lrrbcaIin about 9 O'Clock
in the evening. 10 lis home, when in sharp
turn of the road the miserable man found
imscf face 10 flre with live wolves which
the SHOW had driven from the mountains into
the VIA ley. to obtain som"1h:ug TO eat
Imagine the fright the terror OF the un or
lunate mau. He was without arms but
his walking Stick which WIS found broken
the mud in the road which was much stirred
up all seemed to indicate that lie had oppo-
sed to the wolves desperate although use
less resistance How long time the combat
endured and all the details of this horrible
drama are wrapt in mystery. All that is
certain is. that the wolves, after having kill
ed their victim, dragged his body some steps
from the road and there entirely drvoured it.
The next day they found his shoes ana lrag-
ments of his clothes these with Il human
skull. drowned in IL sea- of blood, being all
that remained Of the unfortunate man.

know-but certain it is, that all the hghtlhg
is confined to Democracy. =
But short time back, Senator Borland' Oh

Democratic Senators, in the most wicked and
nasty manner. Much was said about chal-

gentlemen could not determine from which
party the challenge should come. The fact
of is, that both parties proved each other
such blackguards, that there was not gentle
man enough left in either TO settle the quar-

MIR. Cobb, Speaker of the House, and Mr..
King, of N. Y, both Democrats again. had a
terrible dispute in the House. in which the
former made the charge olaltering the jour

the Wings but very serious TO Democrats
If these things do not cease soon, we shall
advocate the placing of military detach-
ment in each hall Of Congress, TO secure some
appearance Of order among the Democrats.
