He only spl,es HIMSELF.

IT is common occurrence that when a
man fails 10 get Democratic nomination, or
is defeated for township delegate he joins the
Know Nothinge "for spite," as vulgar par
lance well describes il. This only proves that
the party did well in not placing him in a
position OF trust and responsibility. If he is
so much the victim Of his passions and weak
ness that he eannotsay ';ge thee behind me"
when the Know Nothing leaders come around
him and tempt him with the offer Of the whole
world il he will fall down and worship them,
while the poor devils have nothing 10 give
him, he was not safe man for a leader in
the cause of the people. Such men should
be thankful If the kindness of their political
friends will only veil the iufirmilies Of their
frail nature in silence.
If he cannot resist the temptations of error
when the spirits Of seduction tap him famil-
arly on the shoulder at midnight and explain
show mean the Loco-focos have used him."
he s2iies no one but himself in going into
the dark gabgway that leads 10 the conspra-
tors lodge, or in sueaking into woodsheds and
butcher shops to swear fealiy to their bid
ding. He takes the oath of eternal hostility
against his old political household and hence
forth he is an alien to the cause Of the peo-
pe He has raised his hand to swear against
his brother who worships tho same God BY
another form of prayer. He is frightened st
the head of Christian church, and sells him
self to a Protestant Pope who knocks down
and sets up at his will candidates for the poor
dupe's vote.
We pity him, for we cannot hate he ira'l-
IS of his nature. But he is joined TO his idols;
let him alone. Alas, that Truth should have
come to such fearful discount; He has
forswom the feelings Of humanity aud broth
erhood which was in his heart, and from
henceforlh he must remember his vow to
hate and fear his brother Of another creed
He feels that some secret letter binds him
when he meets you, and you notice with re-
gret that The open fran&ness of his manner
has become sicklied over with the pale,
greenish cast OF suspicion. He dares not de-
fend the oath he has taken when YOU con.
denim it, and his tongue is dumb when you
rebuke his new found friends. He hangs his
head in silence 10 the condemnation of that
Conspiracy of which he is part; and gradu-
ally wears off the shame he first lelt when
thrice each day with ialsehood he denied
his masters.

Abuse and Three Copies for a Quarter.

Our readers will excuse Us for the high prIce
Of 25 cents which we last week sci as the pay
gwen by John Stewart for the abuse Of Mr..
Merifield in she Democrat. The editor says
we are in eHoi, because the 25 cents was
paid not only for defaming Mr.. Menifeld.
but also for t,0o copies Of the "Demoorat' TO
MIR. Stewart and one 10 Mr.. MerriGeld. The
price OF three newspapers from 25 cents will
leave about i23 cents as the pay for The at
tack upon the Democratic nominee in Lu.
zerne for the Legislature, because he did not
pay bill ior printing which he never order
ed. Or VIZ may say that we were still right, {:
the quarter paid for the abuse aud the three
newspapers were thrown in for good meas
ure The Colonel says the quarter paid for
the newspapers and the abuse was thrown in
TO make up the worth of Mr., Stewards mon
ey. We don't much care which gay the
reader counts The only error we made was
TO value the Democrats abuse at quarter
when il is proved TO be only worth about i2d
cents.

Party Hacks.

When The Know-Nothiug party began its
career il proudly vaunted of its purity in Ia
king men for candidates fresh from The ranks
Of the people, and not "old party hacks."-
Let us see how the practice squares with the
profession. The Know Nothing candidate
for U. S. Senator last winter was one of the
most INSCRIPTIONS political prostitutes in the
State. In this county last fall The candidates
were men who had been faithful to no party
ard DO political faith. This fall the Know
Nothing candidate for Assembly is man
who once ran as the Wing candidate for
Commissioner, and afierward FOR The same
office on the "repeal" ticket. The candi-
date for Sheriff was once by accident elected
10 the Legislature, and while he proiessed 10
belong 10 the Wing party he was able 10 con-
troll three voters on the local question against
division of this county. TIE county
was divided that year, and Johnston and
Best sold out MIR. ForEer, who fell as &C.
fenceless as lamb. Next year he was want.
cd to be candidate for Member on the re-
peal ticket, but no man could be found TO
move in his favor.
The Know-Nolbing candidate for Tfeasu.
rer was for some years standing applicant
for the the Legislative domination, and was
finally elected county Auditor. Two years
ago he was on the lookout for the Treasurer
nomination.
On the olher hand Mr.. Miller, the Demo-
cratic candidate for Sheriff, never asked for
an Office, and was most likely never in po-
luical convention. The same thing can be
said of Mr.. Fahrineer, and these men present
a character beautifully in contrast with the
dilapidated politicians on the Know Nothing
ticket. Let the party of poltica! Jacobins
take the beam out of their own eyes before
they talk Of "pohtcal hacks" and told TO-
gies" in the Democr utie rsnks.

How do you like III

Those Democrats who have sold themselves
to the Know Nothings now find themselves
lied down to vote for Whig Know No,hings
for Assembly aud Sheriff, and in return are
promised paltry vote for Treasurer who
was once Democrat! That is, the Whig
branch Of the concern asks the only Offices
worth having, and leaves the crumbs 10 the
dupec tools who have been tempted from The
Democratic fold. Truly these Democrats have
sold themselves for mess Of pottage, and
very small mess al that.
Let those prodigals see how they have been
made hewers Of wood anc drawers Of water
to their new taskmasters, and how only the
husks are held out TO them. In county like
this where there is Democratic majority,
such a ticket az that formed by the Wing

"Disgust for the wild hunt after Office
which charecterizes the present agen
Was proclaimed at Reading as one of the
articles of faith of the Know Nothing party.
This fine sentiment was thrown out as a tid-
Bit for innocents 10 nibble at. No one can
be but struck With the beautiful consistency
of this principle with the practice Of those
who promulgated il /; coming as it does from
Ex Governor Johnston and such other politi.
cal hucksters, who have been "everylhing at
times and nothing long, g,"-who chameleon
like have changed their principles and their
party, and followed every flag that promised
plumber il successful.
In one view of the case there is a moral
in the sentiment which we have taken for
our text. Looking upon il as the sincere ex-
preston Of disappointed and despairing men,
il is the sad story of experience. Afier vast
ing the noblest energies of their best days
in the wrangles and srifes of politics, and
after joining, year after year, with unabatee
zeal in the hot chase for place and plumber,
uniI like broken down coursers, they were
turned out by the old parties TO Craze upon
The waste places: or be fed by the charity of
the world after enduring all this, they sum
up their sorrows and proclaim their bitter
conviction of 'disgusi for The will hun, after
Office" They joined in the wild hunts, ,
found little game, and are disguised. But
we are not justified in taking this expression
as sincere, for the very men who uttered it,
and the very party that clings 10 il. are still
baying and yelping the loudest, and lustiest
in that same "wild hunt" Every county
has its scores of office seekers in the K. N.
party, and they carry this resolution as a
mask to conceal their faces lest otherwise
they should inspire in those recognizing them
the same feelings for themselves, which, in
their hypocrisy, they profess towards offics
