ERA OF DEGRADED PREss.-FOr six months
before every election in this country, the party
journals, some fifteen hundred in number, get
perfectly intoxicated with political passion, and
lose all common sense and decency together.
This peculiar disease varies in form and shape.
Some are more abusive; some more covertly
treacherous. The Pennsyluanian, which is one Of
the organs of Mr. Buchanan, and will be, in the
event of his success, the mouthpiece Of Forney
and the supreme Kitchen Cabinet, has already
commenced the war by attempting TO villify
Fremont. 1t contents itself at this early period
with stating that he is defaulter to government !;
that he abandoned his men in the snow that he
is heartless, cruel, and dishonest. This is pretty
fair for a beginning. As the canvass goes on,
we shall find the Pnnsylpdnian accusing Fremont
of idoatry, Sabbath breaking, disrespect of his
parents, murder, adultery, stealing, lying and
covetousness, in regular theological order.
Nor are the republicans behind All sorts Of
old trash about Mr.. Buchanan's opinions thirty
ard forty years ago is being dug out of the tomb
to be used against hm-no one ever dreaming
that Mr.. Buchanan would have need to have been
fool indeed if he had lived all these years with
out changing his opinions.
But this is only the beginning We shall,
doubtless, soon see how low the press can be
made to sink.

Hon. JOHN A. DIX COMING OUT-Mr Dix it
appears, has concluded to go for Mr. Buchanan.
Mr.. Dix and Mr.. Dickinson may, therefore, shake
hands again. The bulk of the little fish, hards
and softs, having come into the Cincinnati net,
the big ones among the outsiders arc also drop
ping in. Best chance, they calculate. Mr.. Dix,
perhaps, may be sent upon that foreign mission,
in regard to which he was egregously hum
plugged by Mr.. Pierce. To make all sure, how
ever, Mr.. Dix should go early over into Pennsyl-
vania, and have friendly consultation with Mr.
Forney. He may be found, perhaps at Philadel
phia, OF Harrisburg, or Wheatland. The best
course would probably be to Wheatland direct,
for if the Chairman Of the Democratic State
Central Committee should not be there, Mr..
Buchanan may have the necessary information Of
his whereabouts. Aspirants for good places
should apply early, because the openings will
be limited, there being many good democrats in
Office that can't very ~ be turned out.
