The Doctors Disappointments.

every move, pOlltcal ana soCiai, 'ii"o Ao "H made since his betrayal of the confidence ol President Pierce.
 On his return from Central America, in dis grace before the country for his miserable fai- lure to accomplish the object of his mission, he set himself up in this city as practicing phy sician. Here his first failure awaited him. He neither acquired the confidence of the commu- nity or obtained any practice. He was sorely disappointed. So much so indeed, that, after only few months trial, he not only resolved to take in his shingle," but entertained se- rious thoughts of seeking in another State an- other home. He journeyed to Memphis with thoughts in his heart of leaving Arkansas for ever
 But at Memphis new light broke ill upon him. He was there before the Tennessee elec- tion, during the high know nothing excitement and thinking know nothin gism was about to sweep Tennessee and the whole south, as 1t had swept the north, he suddenly became aconvert All at once he became an |" Anaer1caa' deeply impressed with the necessity of Anaeracan, ruling America" AU ai o'ace though he was a native born citizen of 45 years of age, he was filled with an "'ntense American .teezing'
 Thus pervaded and impressed, he was easily persuaded by his know nothing brethren o Memphis, who thought and said one note from hs buge a0ere ,0o,th Mousand men," to return to Arkansas, take charge of the Gazette and embark in the cause of know nottingham. He did so. He returned here fully determined. = He immediately mounted the tripod of the Gazette, which Christopher Columbus Danley under whose weak and inefficient management it was rapidly sinking in public estimation, was glad to permit him to do.
 And here Dr. Borland exhibited all the cunning for which he is celebrated. He took charge of the paper, but he did not immediate ly unfurl the flag under which he intended tc sail. He was already know nothing at heart but the time and the occasion had not arrived for the consummation of his treachery to the de mocratic party. At first he hoisted the demo cratic flag and still professed democratic princ ples.
 In doing this, in not coming out immediate ly as know nothing, he had two purposes 1T view. The first was to deceive the democrats and secondly, to force the know nothings of Ar kansas to bid for his Swiss services. Before he showed his treach erous design of deserting the democratic party, he wished forthe tlattering no tice of the democratic press throughout the Union. These notices he desired to publish ill his paper as an evidence of his importance as politician. This would enable him, in deser ting, not only to give a severer stab to his old party, but to exact higher price from the know nothings. Like the traitor Benedict ArnoM, he desired the command of a place of importance that his treachery might be felt by his country and be appreciated and paid for by his country's foes
 But here again he was disappointed The same cause operated to defeat this purpose that prevented his obtaining practice as physician tse a0ant cf cOnyideace tn his honesty. His an- nouncement as editor of the Gazette was hailed with indifference from Maine to Texas. Here and there whlg paper paid him passing com pliment, butthe democratic press withheld their eulogies. They knew the man, and the short est possible paragraphs disposed of his case
 By this failure to attract the favorable notice Of the democratic press, he was sorelv disap- pointed. He had counted on success confident ly, for his pugilistic efforts at Greytown and in the Senate had made him notorious, and he had mistaken his notoriety for fame.
 In his second but principal object, that of ex- torting heavy bonus from the know nothngs, we believe he was successful. He had great reputation as partizan writer, and he knew it. The know nothings, by taxes and initiation fees, had raised money - they had also a subscription paper going around, and this he knew too. The bargain was struck. His price "or part thereof,' was paid. Borand then became an open mouthed know nothing. An intense American feeling' filled his heart and his Swiss pen was ready for all sorts of service-to Ideal damnation round the land, , or anything else.
 But, unfeeling and unprincipled as he is, his
 
 dence in him. and determined to test him, his know nothing purchasers immediately aobistlel him upon those of his old friends to whom he was most indebted for past favors. The test was severe one, but how well he has stood it, his old friends who have felt his fangs can best decide. To what revolting pass has he come
 "Borand has left the democratic party, thank heaven" is the exclamation of every de- mocrat in the Union. His desertion has not caused a tear-not even regret Every de- mocrat feels that the party is relieved of an otiicous demasogue, who was ever seeking high offices, and ever disgracing them.
 But, if his leaving the democracy has caused no regrets to democrats, his accession to the know notl'ings, brings them no joy. His access sion is hailed by the know nothngs of nearly every State in the Union with distrust /; and, in many, absolutely with loathng; and here, where he was bought and paid for, they are be- coming sick of their bargain. They have found him, as an editor, utterly powerless with the odium that is upon him-utterly incompetent to the work before him.
 They expected, too, when they bought him, that he would also bring "bil of sale" of all the Borand democrats in the State. But in this they have been deceived. All good de- mocrats cut loose from him when he joined the know nothings. Borland carried no strength with him into the know nothing party; and the wings, who made sacrifice of their contempt and hatred of the man to get him, now feel ashamed of the sacrifice They feel that they have been badly sold. They paid for him and Its democratic friends, but they have received the carcas of one Judas aone-they got no more. They now feel that they have paid dear for their whistle Instead of strengthening their cause, his name is dragging it down.
 We will say no more at present. We leave
