worthy of being chronicled with Chippewa,

Young America Fighting for the Spells.
filibustersm, manage to keep keen eye on
the spells. Claiming General PIERcE as in
part the choice of Young America, and his
nomination as 4 protest against the musty asso-
Citations Of Old Fogysm, they insist that the
bulk of all the spoils in, prospect belongs ex
clusvely to themselves, The Baltimore Con-
ventlon had scarcely separated before the
monthly organ, the Democratic Rerie,c, took
a prospective glance at the profits that might
he expected to follow on the heels of General
PIERCE, and deliberately; and with malice
aforethought, tore into tatters the title on which
the staid portion Of the Democracy rested for
return to their old position.
The prominence assigned to Young Anne
RIGA in the canvass-their zeal for General
PIERCE, and their manifest Indifference to the
old party Ieaders-leave little doubt that the
claim has been pressed with tolerable success
r
prime adviser; and Judge DoueLAs's friends
throughout the country are to be the special
objects Of Presidential favor. The arrange
ment rests on the improbable hypothesis that
the country will elect General PIERCE, and on
that ground need not alarm us; but as an ina
ginary illustration of the success Of political
charlatanism, it is highly amusing.
1t appears, however, that the old inheritors
OF Democratic bounty are not prepared quietly
TO surrender any good things that may here
after present themselves. They do not object
that Judge DOUGLAS, Mr.. SoULE, and JOHN
VAN buren, should do all the work for the
Democratic nominee; but they have an in
vlncibIe repugnance to any plan for alenat-
ing the profits. and transferring them wholly
TO the younger and more ambitious section
st the party. Thus it has happened that
while Young Democracy has been stump
ing the Union, belching forth fire and fury,
old Democracy, snugly ensconced at home,
has been busly engaged in mapping out the
departments, and in apportlonlng every gift
worth having amongst It's chosen friends. The
fact oozed out week or two ago through the
columns Of neutral journal issued at Phila-
delphia, and has since been announced through
divers other channels. The Jackson Associa-
ton of this city has, if report speaks truly,
arranged the whole affair to the smallest mi
nutia. There is not single Office unprovded
for-always, Of course, subject to the contin-
gency that General PIERCE shall be elevated
a. .,.
will have settled every thing when that event
comes to pass.
Young America does not intend to take the
matter quietly. 1t is staunch advocate Of
spolatlUn, but has no wish To be despolled. 1t
regards stealing from others as an excellent
Joke, and is now growing angry simply because
older heads have stolen march upon it in
reference to the division Of the booty. A New
Orleans print, the Southern Democrat, has
stepped forward with vigorous protest against
the pretensions Of the ''sett fasts" of It's party
and vigorously proposes a crusade against
those whom it designates "wind bags and non
entities" The style in which this Southern
champion Of the DOUGLAS wing wages war
upon the representatives Of the BUCHANAN and
CAss school may be judged Of from the follow
ing, which we take from an article Of the 9th
instant:

The writer cries for assistance to "pul

hacks, who have been feeding all their lives

manner, we must confess, for one Democrat to
