Though our State has been gfofio6siy' fs
deemed, it must be admitted, that it woul,
be herculean achievement for the Democ
racy to overcome the 1900 Fusion majority
OF Jefferson in srvv short years, but you may
rest assured that there will be no such over
whelming majority for the Thugs again.
Signs of the dissolution of that combination
are too visible to escape the attention of th'
most superficial observer Discussions hav,
, already entered the enemy's ranks-faction
that combined to make up the great Fusiol
army are already suffering from intcstin
broils. Even CARRIER, of the Courier, VIII,
meekly submitted in '54 to the choking OF
of his favorite candidate for Congress and th
placing of Mr.. Dunn upon the track, has to-
late for his man Friday seen that he wa
badly sold. Now Mr. CARRIER expresses hi
surprise that Mr. Dunn voled for Mr.. Ethe
ridge of Tennessee for Speaker, and in com
menting upon the vote, which he so str0ngl,
condemns, he says:
"The duty of reconciIing the uote for a mem
Der from Stare StGte, and one which it ap
pears from the record, no other anti Nebras
ka member did vote for, with the pledge:
made during the canvass, devolves upon Mr.
| Dunn, not upon us"
1t is seldom that so much sectionalism car
be found in so few woras. He does not charge
! Mr.. Dunn with voting for a Nebraska man
because that charge would not fit the case, i
being a we'll known fact that Mr.. Etheidg,
was a member OF the last Congress and voted
against the Nebraska bill, but because Mr.
Dunn voted ior member from a slaue State
Mr.. CARRIER is awfully surprised and imagine:
that all of MIR. Dunn's supporters in this enc
Of the District ale in the same predicament

pen to be born in the old world or who pro-

/ Mr.. CARRIER and his adherents go a step far
| ther as if the mere fact Of a man living i'm s
slave State should be sufficient reason for vo
ting against him. This editor calls hmse
a Republican. If this be Republicanisin, ,tha
name so dear to our people has lost its origi
nal Specification in this fast age, and it is i'm.

the railroads and telegraphs to keep up witt
the mutilation and changes of words

" inl-..r w-re he to wake np a few year:
hence and in looking in the dictionary find
the word defined as follows: "Republican-
one who believes that the North half of Z
country should prescribe, make officers for
and govern the South half of said country
| Indeed snch would seem to be the policy o
the so called Republicans. But let us apply
the principle and see what it would lead to-
If this Republicanism would censure a Con.
gresham for casting his vote for man from
slave State, npon the same principle il
would not tolerate President in appointing
a man South of Mason aud Dixon's line
hence a President of such party would he
expected to send men from the North to iill
all the offices in the South, the effect of which
would be to force a dissolution by reading
the South out of the Union. This so called
Republican party have already formed asso-
ciations and sent out colonies for the avowed
purpose of ruling Kansas, and if the Nilsson
rians have done the same thing, they cannot
claim the originality of the idea because the
patent belongs exclusively to the Yankee Re-
publicans But these Republicans might

means Certainly there would not be a grea-
ter improperly in senIing officers to govern
the South than there would in sending colo
nies to a territory to overpower those that
settled in such territory of their owr accord
unaided by any association.
am no defender of Mr. Dunn, but if he
/ has displayed less sectionalisln than his Flu
sion supporters that much should be set down
to his credit ltmust be admitted, however
that he has not shown great amount Of con
sistency. Mr.. Dunn and Mr. Scott both vo

Mr.. Banks was once Democrat, while Mr
Campbell was Whig. The fact is Mr.
Dunn was elected by the combination of 81
many isns that no would be the most luck,
man that was ever made if he could be 81
fortunate AS to please them all. 1t woulo
seem that he has not made favorable com

This paragraph takes the winG out of Ga

Nebraska is in the minority in this District.
