We take the following elegant morsel fiom the
New York Tribune of the 9th, as specimen of the
complimentary language employed by what the

that the Tribune is to great extent still the real
organ of these parties, and the exponent of the
views of Mr.. Seward The gentleman whom the er-

THE RAscALs AT WAsHINGToN.-If the traitorous
scamps at Washington who, in spirit nc worthier
than that which animated Judas Iscarot are plot

and we should hear no more about it.
But they have adopted the belief that the passage
OF the compromise measures of 1850, and the triun-
plant election of Frank Pierce, have taken all the
spirit of the North and that the of the vo-
tiers are now ready TO wink at any party nquity, and
sustain any party measure, whatever its enormy

briefly state what opposition may be expected in the
Free States 10 the infamous proposal to repeal the
Missouri Compromise, and thus expose the rotten
