fellow, as pay for preaching this REASONABLE
doctrine, is appointed to publish the Laws o

appointment is made by the Cabinet at
Washington with full knowledge of all
the facts of the base and reasonable char
acter of Strinfellow's sheet before them
We have already referred to the fact that
the leading journals of the South are daily
dropping into the exclusive support of
the new Southern party, which is headed
by the Administration. One of these jour
mails, the Charleston Mercury, from which
We have already quoted, says that the name,
even, of the Wing party is already extinct,
while the name Democratic no longer re-
presents the principles which gave that
party BIRTH In the same article the Mer-
curry takes this ultra ground
"The present state of things teaches, that
Did party questions are buried-or, rather,
that fixed constitutional principles no longer
form the lights of party action, and that the
federal government is the convenient ipstru-
ment Of the numerical majority, regardless of
right or Of the constitution. There is but
single question now upon which parties can
be rallied la question unlike all others which
have arisen in the government, not national,
but SIMPLY and markedly sectional-the gues-
ton of Slavery. 4 thousandfold more intense
than in 1917, Abolition, has, shattered every
organization, Democratic, Wing and Know
Nothing, which dared oppose its progress,
and subordinated every other party princi-
pie to the one absolute test, 1t matters not
what position may be ASSUMED upon other
questionable party which bids for Nor
thernsupport, must, on this, fall Before fanati-
cism. Can any national party. therefore,
command success at the North, upon terms
short of a surrender and betrayal Of the
South d? Can the Democratic party do it,
withered and shrivelled UP as it is by the
breath of Free Soil a? Must not question,
purely sectional, of necessity make parties
sectional also? Ought not the Union of the
North for aggression, compel a union of the
South for resistance
It's not worth while here to waste many
words over such simple insolence as this
talk of Northern aggression, from a source
which pushed on the violation of the Com
promise of 1920, and has applauded with
Indecent eXultation every successive outrage
that has followed the first great crime
against the peace and good order of the ma
ton. The article quoted is only of conse-
quence as recognizing and confirming the
existence of that unanimity in wrong doing,
which can never be corrected until it has
behH met and driven back, and until RIO OPP
portunity is left for further aggressions.
IL The New York papers are in rar-
lures over Rachel's acting. Her debutis de-
clared to be complete triumph. We give
brief opinions from three leading journals:
.':The house was brilliantly attended, the
audience including most of the distinguished
men Of this country, and being perhaps, the
most severely classic before which Rachel
ever played. There Was but one feeling:
she surpassed expectation; ard the epthusi-
asir Of shout and flowers in which it found
expression evidently convinced her that the
American people know how to appreciate and
reward true genius '-Ifi5ane.
'The greatnss of the conqneror is to be
estimated by the magnitude of the difficulty
which he surmounts. Rachel has therefore
achieved a great Victory. Her Sebastobol is
aken"-Herald.
"The whole range of ancient or modern
tragedy cannot afford spectacle more heart

DAKOTA CouN+f REptbLlcAN, TICKET
An omission occurred in publishing the
proceedings of the Dakota Republican Con-
vention:, The name of E. F. PARKER, Esq,
of Hastings, the nominee for District Attor-
ney, was left out by accident, as we are in
formed by gentlemen who were present at
the Convention. IT win be all right, however
when the tickets are printed, and all right at
the election.
POOLE, THE GoLD-HUNTER, HUNG THE
st. Louis News states that John A. Lennon
and David Dean, of Hannibal, Missouri, re-
turned home last Wednesday from the I'M
successful gold hunt among the Wachita
Mountains. They report that Poole, the
leader of the company, and who pretended
to have discovered the placer described, had
been hung by his companions. They say his
fate was decided by a vote of those compos-
ing the expedition; and majority being in
favor of hanging him, he was accordingly
hung up to the limb of tree.

are entitled to GAO acres.
| IL 1t is thought that the Pope of
Rome cannot live but short time, his health
having declined rapidly of late. Cardinal
Antonelli would probably be the candidate
of fhe absolutists for the succession.
