The TORIES OF THE PAST AND TIE
PREsENT-When Great Britain sent her
armies and fleets in this direction to
keep our ancestors in subjection to her
government, they (the armies and feets)
found sympathisers and supporters
among quite large number of the ma
tives. We had then an American par
ty and foreign party, and we have
now. TIE Tories of the Revolution
took sides with the foreign invaders, a.
the counterfeit Democracy takes sides
with the foreign invaders of the present
time. If the modern invaders come
not with arms in their hands, they come
vast multitude every year, and can
soon supply themselves with arms
Nearly half million by universal con-
sent, landed among US in 1854. At
that rate they will outnumber our peo-
pie of native birth in less than twenty
years, and will then be able to expel
from our land all who do not ''like their
rule" as Archbiship Hughes expresses
it), or subjugate US entirely as those
who came before us subjugated the In
dians. Even now this foreign army and
their native allies of the Democracy"
equal US in numbers, and the yoke of
ireland and Germany, by the aid Of
these modern Tories, is fixed upon our
necks. Natives no longer elect our
Presidents, our Governors, our Con-
gressmen, or our State Legislatures
The foreigners, by combining with a
portion Of the natives, control all these
things, and thereby rule the country
These natives, thus leagued with the
foreigners, call themselves the "De.
mocracy," but they have no claim to
that title. They abuse and denounce
true Americans as bitterly as the Tories
of the Revolution denounced the true
Americans Of their day. They take
sides against their country and bestow
all their affections and praise upon Ire
land, Germany. and Judea. They are
therefore the Tories of modern times,
and by that name they should be known.

natural beauty: when Leonidas and his
three hundred martyrs consume one day

winkelreid, in the high Alps. under the

CEREMONIAL ceremonies are in
themselves very silly things; bnt yet a
man of the world should know them.
They are out-works of manners and de-
cency, which would be too often broken
in upon, if it were not for that defence
which always keeps the enemy at prop
er distance. 1t is for that reason that
always treat fools and coxcombs with
great ceremony; true good-breeding not
being a sufficient barrier against them.

7 MURDER IN DEWITT County, I'LL
From the Courier of the 10th ult., we
learn that horrible and blood thirsty
murder occurred in the town Of Clinton,
in the neighboring county Of Dewitt,
on Friday of last week, the particulars
or wnlcn may be summed up as fol.
lows:
Thee had been a difficulty existing
between Anson Rusk and Isaac Wyant
since June last, at which time Wyant
attacked Rusk with large knife; Rusk
tried to avoid collision, but in vain,
and as the only chance of savin" his
life, as he believed, he drew revolver
and shot his assailant in the ARM
Wyant's arm had to be amputated in
consequence, and he thereupon swore
that he would have revenge. He has
since narrowly watched the movements
of Rusk.
On the day above named, Rusk went
to Clinton on business, where he was
followed BY Wyant, until the former en-
tered the office of the County Clerk
He was followed up BY Wyant; and.
while standing behind the stove with
his arms folded, Wyant commenced fir
ing upon him with revolver. Three
shots took effect, and Rusk fell dead
Wyant then stood over the body of his
victim. put the pistol to his head, and
fired the fourth shot. The ball passed
entirely through the head, and from the
ori6ce made the brains of the murdered
man oozed out. Wyant tried to make
his escape, but was arrested, securely
ironed. and lodged IN Jail.
tits said that Mrs. Rusk, (who was
encierte at the time }. on hearing of the
news OF her husbands murder, was so
shocked that she gave premature birth
to a child, and that both have since died.
If this be true Wyant is triple murder
er, and cannot escape the murderer's
doom.-BlOOnaington ny Flag.

The foreign news has produced no excite
ment in Wall street. Our monetary position
is considered safe from foreign attack, mas
much as the export demand for our produce
is SO great. The condition of the French
Bank excites some feeling, because the ope-
rations of that Bank look more to probable
suspension of specie payments. - +~.,-.
1t appears that the Bank of France pays
out its own notes which are payable in spe-

a large premium; which is a transaction Of
questionable prudence. It cannot therefore

MAIL ro3BER CAUGHT AND MONEY REcov-
ERED.-We learn from Mr.. Cookery, the Post
Master of this city, that the person who per-
petrated the robbery at Marion, on the Iowa
City mail route, has been detected and the
money recovered. He is blacksmith by
trade, living in Marion, and was from the
first suspected. Soon after the discovery of
the robbery he and his wife were arrested,
but the examination elected nothing import
ant. While the man and woman were under
arrest, their little boy, in conversation with
some one, divulged the place where the booty
was secreted. $500 was recovered. 1t is
said that the individual is strongly suspected
of having tasted prison fare before. Dubuque

st. Anthony, and our nearer neighbor, Mr..
Newson, of the Times. We trust and be-
lieve that in future these gentlemen and ma
ny Others who gracefully swallowed the plat
form of the 25th Of July, will be found as
men convinced of error, and ready for works
more applicable and direct for the emergency
of the times. We want no family quarrel
now. The errors of the past must be forgot
ten; but at the same time VIC consider it our
duty to point out those errors, in order that
hereafter they may be avoided.
The future is full Of hope. While, as We
think, by the adoption of heterodox and
cumbersome platform, We have lost our Del
egate, we have done well in the Legislature.
We have elected to the Council and House
more members than any one of the three
parties in the field; and noble band of true
Republicans they are, so faras we have made
their acquaintance. We do not believe there
exists man among them who not stand
up to his principles in every emergency
They are the guardians of those principles in
the Legislature of the Territory, and to them
we willingly entrust the destinies of the par
ty during their several terms of Office. The
harpies of this Slavcry-Extension Admins
tration may hover about them, but they will
find that their dear hopes of bouncing upon
the Republican party and devouring it this
coming winter, will be most completely foil
ed. Our organization is one founded upon
principle, and it must continue to gain
strength by age, as it gradually outgrows
and casts of the follies of its youth. Let us
all, then, manfully address ourselves to the
work Of the future. @.-
