TRAITORoUS WINGS.

The Senate will furnish some rich subjects
for the pencil, in those Wings who have sold
themselves 10 Mr.. Morrill, cheaply. Con
spicuous among them is the Hon. Joseph Ea-
ton, of Kennebec. Last winter he was klcked
out of his place in the Senate, by the same
gang of political reRegades, and now Is found
licking The dust from The feet Of those to whom
Ne was Indebted for the foul disgrace. How
hath the mighty falen
Ii is sufficient to say of him, and all those
members who were nominated as Wings, etcc-
ted as Wings, that they voted for Mr.. Morrill,
for Governor, thereby most baSely and diSJson-
orably beiraying the noble hearted Reed, who
was entitled. by every consideration of honor
and fairness, TO their votes.
We extract the following interesting bits

. THE French SPoLTATIoN BILL recently
passed, about which there seems TO be differ
ence Of opinion as to veto, provides for a
board Of three commissioners, with a secre-
tary, clerk and messenger, to commence their
session in October next This board is to ex-
anime and decide upon all claims 10 indemnity
upon the French government mot heretofore
provided for) arising out Of illegal captures,
COMBINATIONS, confscations, &c, committed
by the French prior to the 3Ist Of July, 1901.
For this purpose five millions Of dollars are to
be appropriated, to be paid pro rata to the
claimants; and, by a special provision, all
claims are to be excluded, if not presented and
established within the two years prescribed
for the existence of the commission. Tn al
cases of transfer or assignment, no claimant tC
be entitled to receive an amount beyond the
consideration paid.

Lyman Trumbull, elected U. S. senator BY
the legislature Of Illinois, in place Of General
Shields, is a resident of Bellville, ST. Clair
county, member of the state supreme court,
and an anli-Nehraska member elect Of the next
congress from the eighth district. He is a
Connecticut man and formerly lived in Colches-
ter. from whence he removed to Illinois. Mr..
T. is a grandson of Trumbul, the historian Of
Connecticut, and is, we believe, a worthy de-
scendaut Of the old Trumbull family. He is
and has been democrat and we think his
election to the senate over General Shields IS
owing solely to his opposition 10 the repeal Of
the Missouri compromise. The vote stood
for Trumbul 81 A; Gov. Matteson, (dem.) AZ !;
Archy Williams, (whig) |. The wings uni
ted on Trumbull as the best thing they could

scene Of q hostile meeting. Theselec-
ton Of the spot Was . strange one,
but a.,
-" he tall trees,
Wave not less proudly though, their ancestors
MoulderiDg beneath them"
so, it is not to be supposed that dar.
ing men would refuse to fight each
other because the ground beneath
them" happened to be filed with tie
decaying dead.
With pistols, at ten PAGES. the com.
batants met, and at the given signal.
touched the prophetic triggers. One
of the pistols went of and the other
didn't but, as luck would have it. the
latter did as much damage as the for
mer; that is none. This, however,
did not satisfy him whose pistol re.
NAMED dumb, and it is said, be few
into quite rage, and charged his
second with treachery. or Of unpardon-
able carelessness. At this juncture
the doctor in attendance and other;
friends Of the hostile parties rushed up
and with no little ofdifiiculty restored
to harmony the chaos of the time and
place. If they had not succeeded
blood would doubtless have been shed.
The original difficulty. it is whisper
ed. occurred in a coffee.house, one of
the parties refusing to touch glasses
with the other, or something Of thai
sort. The provision trade. IN two of
its branches, were represented by the
heroes Of the 6ght.-P;cayune.
The provision trade was not out of
line in this engagement. Gunpowder
mg have food-such as the code Of
honor hath provided. Food for pow.
der furnishes food for worms. The
tooth Of oblivion, would itself decay,
without something to gnaw on. There.
fore should the provision trade" be
commended for increased activity.

TO THE POINT.

The Kentucky News, of the 30th ult., puts
some pertinent questions to the shareholders and
Democrats of that State. 1t says
We have been requested to ask our pro-slavery
Democrats, whether Democracy with them consis-
ted in holding black men in Slavery, (which they
admit is evil and doing no good to the Statc) or
whether it consists in the most extended liberty
and equal privileges TO mon2 If slavery is admit
tod on all hands to be curse to both master and
slave in Kentucky and Virginia, is it Democratic
to get mad and boast friendship to u blightng in
stution that has retarded the prosperity Of these
States? If slave Insiders were really Democratic
would they not hold convention and adopt some
speedy plan of abolishing institution that
spreads, broad cast. SO much ilteracy among the
free white citizens of Slave States-that holds out
no inducement to industry and that drives all the
determined energy, industry and ingenuity to the
free States? Is it Democracy that is doing this,
1r is it dospotism? Speak yc! Why have so
many of our best mechanics bQcn driven to the far
West to get employment Is it Democratic for
Legislators to enact laws ihat will drive the best
human element abroad, and leave a cringing SER
vile mass in their midst at home, and then boast
that such an element have elected them.
Are slave holders satisfied that their sons and
daughters mingle with the discarded element left
around them and thus sink into tho pit dug by
their own avariGe. Is all this Democratic Speak
ye!

A SOUTHERN CoNFEDERACY.


The Charleston Mercury grows iubilant over the
idea Of a southern confcdcracy. 1t says
Cotton would be our army and navy-cotton
would command for us the respect of nations"
No provision seems to be made, no thought had
for Virginia, Kentucky, Missouri, and other slave
States which do not produce that staple "lf cot
ton is the king" what will becomoo of these States!
1t il likely they would take to manufacturing, and
in that event tho Mercurys notions of free trade
with England would not take so well. But we
apprchend that the single bond of Slavery would
not harmonze all the diverse interests of the south
ern States; and If the present Union should be
broken up, some half dozen confederacies or indie
pendent States would he constructed ont OF its
iragments-St Spectator.
The Spectator is right. Tho dissolying process
once commended who can tell whore it will stop
In all probability, there would be at least three
if not more oonfcdcracics formed out of the debris
of tho present Union. Georgia and South Carroll
cial States--as also would Alabama and Louisiana
Savannah would be pitted against Charleston, and
Mobile against ewOreans. St. Louis, which
now derives the larger portion OF her great trade
from Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, and Wisconsin,
would be reduced to the condition OF Natchez OF
Vicksbugh--and Baltimore, which has been mate
rally enriched by the trade of Pennsylvania, lndi
ana and Ohio. would be comparatively impoyerish
cd by tho transfer of her capital to Philadel
phia and New York. As commercial spec
ulation therefore, the dissolution of the Unior
cannot be expected to pay and consegnen
tly, the commercial classes of the South arr
alomost to man ranged apcn the side OF the Con
