LI1TLENEss. We notice several of our Wing CO.
temporarics, in speaking of Gen. Dockery, refer to
his canvass with Hon. G. W. Caldwell in manner
as unbecoming gentlemen it is unwarranted by
the facts. Slnarting under the lashngs of Mr. Cald-
WELL they allude to him in contcmptuous terms, and
advise us to ask him about Gen. Dockery's strength
of intellect and firmness of purpose" Mr. Caldwell
is not now in the field aspirant for any post
and these contemptuous and contemplate illusions
to him, show how deep is that party rancor, which
has gro xn desperate in this, its final struggle.
But to show how little reason Wings have for
boastng of that canvass it is only necessary to state
that Gen. Dockery elected by majority of 06O
votes in district usually giving from 1000 to $500
Wing majority. A cause must be in bad way
when a loss Of only so per cent is Dragged about.
Mr. Caldwell is talented and influential member
of his party, and Whiggery has suffered so much at
his hands, that it now eagerly embraces an opportu
nifty to attempt to disparage them, because it do
so with IMMUNITY. 1t is compliment to him that
his good sense will lead him to appreciate, while it
will but the more endear him his political friends

"THE GUILTY FLEE" &C. We have met with men
before who conscious of being fit subjects for
ridicule peculiarly sensitive that point and
not unfrequently imagined some was poking fun
at them when no such thing intended Such
seems to be the position of the Wing press in
this State. Knowing their candidate for Governor
to be of the vulnerable of to the shafts
of satre-one of the most fit subjects of ridicule-
Wings think the whole " Locofoco" press is making
mouths at him; while the fact is Democrats are
ly laughing in the eXuberance of their joy that their
opponents have chosen suitable to
against the next Governor. 1t is the folly of the
:" great Wing party" that makes us laugh and be
jolly.
In the desperation of demagogucism some not
ly attempt hold up their candidate in the light of
prosecuted martyr but they assume as the cause
of his prosecutions that he poor boy wagon
boy, &c; and very" pathetic appeals made
ners' to support him. To s,tth puny resorts
Wing tactics reduced! Principes-meaSures are
gone, and trick and stratagem to be employed in
their stead. With nothing to recommend their par
ty to the intelligence of the people, their only hope
is in deception, in manoeuvering, in bHnding the
people.
Gen. Dockery is not open to ridicule because of
his boyhood; his manhood furnishes ample material
for it. His vanity his selfcompacency and over
wcening ambition-hiS demagoguical littlcneSS and
his Standardization furnish the themes for rdi-
Guile. 1t probably for these traits in his chalac
ter that he was nominated as delegates would natu-
rally infer that man of such characteristics would
not decline the nomination, which man not pos
sessed of them, in the present hopeless condition OF
the Wing party, might do.
But Objectionable as these features may be, they
insignificant when compared with the principles
he has avowed-principles ultra federal that they
really despotic. The man that would dare pro-
claim that he would help to force his native State
into submission at the lannon's mouth, can sure
ly never hope tie be elevated by the people to the
chief magistracy over them. Salisbury Banner.

is too much the opinion of the young women Of the
present day that they must be married, and there
fore are we oftentimes shocked at seeing union Of
youth and old age, beauty and deformity, vice and
loveliness We have in the volume before US, what
purports to be the history of an old maid who hav
ing reached the mature age of sixty, looks back
upon her past trials and conflicts with the battle of
life, and narrates her experience for the benefit of
those who may follow in her Footsteps We think
can see from her history well as the testimo-
ny of others that well assorted marriage is far
happier than the quiet perhaps peaceful loneliness
of single life. Not that she lived alone but there is
loneliness of the heart, vacuum, which nothing
but sympathizing partner can FILL Nothing can be
wretched than an il-lssorted union; we there
fore commend this book to those who on the de-
bateable ground between youth and age, that they
may learn there is sphere in which they can move
and where they may make their influence felt even
though they may not have the happiness of being
first in any heart.
There is useful class, nor more slandered
than the single sisterhood and the fear Of joining
this company has been bug bear to scare many of
young maidens into matrmony who would have
otherwise been contented to fill the place in which
Providence has placed them, and where they would
have been much more useful and really more happy
than suffering under the burden and of married
life without the compensation of love, which can
alone enable them to bear them. To those who are
familiar with the beautiful little volumes "Amy Her
bert, and Gertrude, " need only say that this
is by the same graceful writer. To be had at Pomc
roy's.

THE DEMOCRATIC CREED AND THE DEMOCRATIC PAR
TY. What conquering creed Says the Pennsylva
MIA PatrioD is that of the great democratic party
How nobly it survives defeat, desertion, and treach
cry! Dark days have lowered over its progress;
but it has dcfcd the tempest and borne its onsets
unscathed. 1t is a common place saying that there
is now no difference between the two parties. But
if this were true it would only prove that the prin
ciples of the democracy have prevailed, and that
those of its antagonists have been overthrown The
creed of the democratic party still stands in all its
majestic proportons-not stain upon its lofty fame
not feature mutiatcd-not one of its proud tro-
phies displaced 1t is monument not only of what
it has done, but of what it will do-an immortal re-
cord of the past and an inspiring promise of the flu

AMERICANS IN THE EUROPEAN WAR A Paris cor
respondent of the New York Tribune says that TWEEN
ty young American sawbones while studying in Pa
ris have volunteered aid the Russians with their
unpractised skill. This, though nominaly in favor
of Russia, may be greatly to the advantage of Tur
key. The correspondent writes:
Il may mention, characteristic of American
promptitude that nearly all the twenty doctors Eol
unteered for Russian campaign within ten minutes
of the first proposal made to that effect by of
their members, at the close of one of NJ Colas lee
lures on empryology On the other hand, some
Americans have already, and several are going from
here to-day their way to the Turkish camp.
Among the latter are Col Magruder, who distn-
guished himself in the Mexican war; Mr.. Quincy
