Indian StOfciSnl.

Soon after the close of the American Revolu
ton, deputation of Indian Chiefs having some
business to transact with the Governor, were in
vited to dine with some of the officials in Phla
delphia. During the repast, the eyes of young
chief were attracted to a castor of mustard, hav.
ing spoon in it ready for use. Tempted by its
bright color, he gently drew it towards him, and
soon had trimming spoonful of it in bis mouth
Instantly detecting his mistake, he nevertheless
had the fortitude to swallow it, although it for
ced tears into his eyes.
chief opposite, at the table, who had obser-
we'd the consequence, but not the cause, asked
mm What he was CRYING for! p
tie replied, That he was thinking of his ia
Their, who was killed in battle"
Soon after, the questoner himself prompted
by curiosity, made the same experiment, with
the same result, and in turn was asked by the
younger Saehem, " What he was CRYING for 2"
Because you was not killed when your ia
Their was, was the reply.

THE FUTURE.

The defeat of the wings, in the nation. appears
to be overwhelming. Whilst we write it looks as
if Scott would Get but four states out of the whole
number. We need not dwell upon the causes
which produced this result; we propose word
only as to the future. The wings arc broken up.
dlsbandcd, and annhated, so far as party is con-
ccned. 1t cannot be doubted that the svmpathlcs
of the great body of them are with the principles
of the Free Democracy, and under the circumstan-
ccs we may not only hope, but rest quite sure that
as the issues arise they will be with us in defence
of these principles. Another thing is quite certain,
viz: that Perce'S administration will be ultra pro-
slavery in all its acts and tendencies which must
rcpcl from it the multtudcs of democrats who vo-
ted for it as choice of evils, with faint hope of
better things, which multitudcs will also 90 to swell
the ranks of the Free Democracy There will
hereafter be but two parties. If any doubt yet ex-
lists on the question, Picrccs administration will
make clear the fact that the old issues which made
the parties not now issues before the country,
for his administration must in virtue of the bower
which made it, devote itself to uphold, maintain
and pcrpetuafe slavery. This plain fact must in
present conditions, organize the whole people into
two partics-thc party of slavery and that of free
DOM SCOTS success might have procrastinated
this i>Suc-Picrccs success will bring it up as fast
as his administration can develop itself Thank
God for it. Let the war come before the popular
heart and conscience have bccn'detsroycd by insd-
ouS efforts, and we have no fear of the result We
know not whether the party of freedom will be able
to understand itself and organize itself sufficiently
to triumph in 1856, but we know that manifest
destiny" which rules the world, demands howey-
cr long the struggle may be protractcd, that Free
dom must triumph. SO looks the future to us,
and so we think it will be. We then, who are al
ready enlisted in the army of freedom, have only
TO stand firm, shall. We know not. at our
present writing, whether orr numbers are few or
many and it matters not. Our principles are the
principles around which this army of freedom must
rally, and with which it must conquer. To all
then who have faith in God and hope in Man the
future must look bright. For our part, we have
not dcSpondant thought. We, to-day, fling onr
banner to the breeze, and however varied NAV be
itS fortunes, we know, that as sure as God lives,
the principles it represents must ere long govern
this nation and sooner or later the world.

BoYhood In America.

The Election is over.

1t is painful duty 10 record the defeat of CHAs.
DURKEE for reelection to Congress from this dis
trict This is no dishonor to him but to the dis
trct who have failed to do their duty to themselves
in securing his return, the dlshonor is almost indie
lible
We were not unaware of the extraordinary and
unparalleled eXertions which were made TO defeat
him by the friends of human slavery as exhibited
in the bunker party. And since the nomination
OF DIirand we have not been ignorant of the dupli
city and double-dealng of the wings in regard to
this canvass. We have seen the game which has
been played by the wings of Milwaukee in their
doings at home and in their cndeavors in WalwortI
and Waukesha counties to carry what votes for
Durand they could not secure for Wells. The
game has been played so we'll that Durand himself
we are told, i'll addition to being the monkey to
handle the hot chestnuts, has paid out three
thousand dollars to help his election, and he has
been so egregiously imposed upon by those who
have used his money and wanted "more,' that no
longer ago than last Saturday, he told confden-
tial Scott man that he had not the least doubt OF
his own election. We should like to be present at
the next meeting of the Jenny Lind Club. They
arc bound to have fine time and brandy and
oysters will rise. Won't they have great jollifi-
cation when they reflect how easy Durand "has
been let down" and how easy the wings were i'm
posed upon. Great is Jenny, and greater is a hun
drcd thousand dollar nominee.
To the multitude of men in this district who will
grievc over the defeat of Mr.. Durkee, as a matter
very nearly personal to themselves, let us say as
we can, being intimate with the man, that it occa-
sions him not one pang, aside from what must be
felt by every true heart, in view of the position our
district must hold for the next two years, compa
red with its heretofore position in this great battle
for human rights. We think the canvass of votes
will show that Mr.. Durkcc has run very far ahead
of his party strength in every locality, and eSpc-
cially where he is best known, which must amply
CRAFTY any personal feeling he may have enlisted
III the canvass and must be abundantlv consolnto-
Try to his personal friends. Mr. Durkec will retire
temporarily to private life without in public life
having done an act to weaken the confidence OF
his friends in his ability integrity, or to occasion
himself Il single feeling of regret He has been
true as the needle to the pole to all the great inter
cstS of humanity, and when we contrast him per.
sonally, retiring, with his opponent coming in, we
are reminded of the setting sun giving place to the
| twinkling star; and when we contrast the princi
cpcS he has advocated in public life and cherishcs
in his retirement with those his opponent will re-
present, so far as he represents any thing we may
use in truth, as expressive of conditions, the Ian

Another Campaign.

Remember that another campaign has just com
mcnced. The whig party will never rally again
in support of the Fugitive Slave law. The thou
sands of the democratic party who voted for Pierce
to keep Scott from being elected will never again
prostitute their vote TO so base purpose, when
they see the system they have sanctioned, carried
out by Pierce at the head of the slavocrats.
John p Hale is still in the field, and will
remain our candidates for the triumph of SO, I'm,
less new Convention of the Free Democracy
shall nominate other candidates.
Keep YOUR harness on, ready for the work.

A Fabrication.

The Kenosha Telegraph, usually far-deal-
ing paper, far forgets itself in the excitement
of the canvass as TO publish the following I'M
provoked and false charge against ourselves -
Rufus King, and other wings of Milwaukee,
are urging the wings of the district to 60 for Da
rand, quite sure all the time it must elect Wells
IfPerce should be elect
ed it makes no difference to King q Co., who
represents this district at Washington but an
hope of electing Durand, as the best thing they
can do for themselves, they have made an alli-
ance with Wells to do what he can for them.
There is not particle Of truth in this charge.
1t is cholesals fabrication. We not only hope
but we knoW that Mr.. DURAND will be elected,
if the wings and tariff men in the District give
him their united support. We have never be-
lieved tina: Mr.. WELLS would be elected, and
we have never ceased to urge our friends, one
and all, to vote for Durand in the confident hope
that ifthey do so his electionis sure.-Ml. Sen,
Monday.
We are willing and anxious now to ascertain
who has fabricated the false stuff in this matter
Rufus King & CO. may take which horn of the
following dlema they choose. Either they
knew that Mr.. Wells would get most of the

attempted to make an estimate on political re-
suit. Will the Sentinel now have the manhood
to say that it told fasehood itself for the mean
est purpose in the world viz: for making L. cats
paw of that incffable stool-pigeon of Racine
This hypocracy is so glarng, open, and manifest,
that the Sentinel is actually ashamed, (out of
spcct, we suppose for the opinions off readers)
to publish the Congressional vote OF its own
city. Will the Sentinel read that falsehood
charged upon us once again, and swallow it for
/ its own service. We recommend the DOSE
We hope the Wings are satisfied, now that they
have an old Hunker Democrat to represent them
in Congress. We must confess that he is the
fair representative of their platform, and since
they have lost their President, they can rejoice
that as far as they are concerned, they have a
man in Congress in the person of Daniel Wells
Jr, who is a fair representative of the Fugitive
Slave Law platform, which they copied from the
old Hunker platform, and endeavored to palm
upon the community as genuine Wing doctrine.
The result in this campaign goes to show how
many have been made to believe it.

HERO WORSHIP" ABANDoNED.-The fact is
at last settled, thsta man cannot be elected Pres
ldent, simply because he has been or is great
General. We suppose that this campaign will
end the delusion, which has hitherto reigned on
that subject. 1t was supposed, since the sue
cessos of Jackson, Harrison and Taylor, that no
military candidate could be defeated. We think
that fno other good can grow out of the defeat
of Gen. Scott, this will have a good tendency !;
for there is no question but that his relation to
recommendation he ever had, or all that his
friends ever claimed for him, as a candidate for
the Presidency.

A CHRISTIAN SPIRIT humane and pious
neghbor of the Kenosha Democrat, suggests
as a way of getting rid of the expenses of the
Fugitive Slave Law, the killing off of the entire
Free Soil Party" This would doubtless be using
rather mild means to get rid of so great all evil,
but yet it would result much to the detrimen of
the Democrat, as it would have very few neigh
bors left, and it would be obliged absolutely to
suspend publication, as it now lives only by the
courtesies and kindnesses of this very class of
men it so roundly beraies. The Democrats sug-
gestion involves about as much absurdity n it as
the little boys wish contained who said he de-
sired every one else to die but his folks, so that
his father could keep tavern.-lIH. Free Dem,
