BORDER RUFFIAN CANuIpATE.-The
New York Tribune seems Of late TO have
sought and to have been gratified by
obtaining n notoriety for the use Of hard
names and abusive language towards
tho.e against whom it sets up an oppo-
slti0n. In its issue Of Wednesday last,
it dcnominates Mr.. FiLIMoRE the
"Border Ruifin Candidate'' and Mr..
Greeley in his own letter from Wash
ington calls him ga l..ckneycd and dis
carded politician" This sort of talk on
the part of The Tribune is both false
and foolish-for it cannot pass current
even with the Black Republicans for
whom it is intended. No such terms
will apply to Mr.. FILLMORE, and the
writers who use them overreach their
mark.
The Tribune's whole course has be-
come so utterly selfish that we believe
it would not only belle any Union man,
but would sacrifice the Union itself to
make money out of the 'sniggcr" qucs-
ton: its whole aim is to secure it's own
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT out of the present
slavery excitement. "Great was Diana
of the Ephesians" to certain persons of
old-great is the "niggcr'' excitement
to the n. Y. Tribune, and for the same
| reason.

THE ToTE OF Mr.. DAVIS FOR SPEAK
ER.-We believe we showed last week
that Mr.. Tavis, stood on the true
ground in voting for Fuller up to the
final ballot which elected Banks. With
the election of the latter he had nothing
to do, and is in no way accountable; but
the Pierce men, who voted for Richard
son are accountable-they refused to de-
feat Banks when the opportunity was Of
fercd.
When Mr.. Carlisle ian American of
fercd the resolution declaring Mr.. Smith
"A Virginia democra-Spcaker of the
House, the Richardson locofocos oppo-
scd it. If they had voted for Mr.. Smith
he would have been elected, but they
refused to vote for him, although one of
themselves, because he was named by an
American. He was a man competent to
fill the Speakers Chair. Afterwards they
got up Mr.. Aiken by their own machin-
cry, and because Mr.. Davis and other
Americans would not vote for him they
set to work and denounced them as abo-
litionists &C., &c.,-Aiken at the same
time totally unfit for the position-being
physically incompetent by sholt-sght-
edness which prevents him from seeing
across a table-and having no knowledge
whatever of parliamentary rules. The
charge of faint Of Aboltonism applies
to the locofoco members who would not
vote for Smith to defeat Banks, with a
hundred times the force it does to the
Americans who on the final vote refused
to vote for Aiken, and every intelligent
man knows it.

THE REGISTER APPOINTMENT.

Mr.. EplToK;-A great deal has been said
and great DIAL Of pure ganinon has been
expended on the great magnaminity and
charity ct the recent appointment of Register.
1t would be an easy matter to put n very diff
fcrcnt face upon the affair to show that this
charity and magnaminity is but the shawl
put on for the occasion, to hide the cunning
and scfiShncSs which is the real body and
bones Of the thing yclopt bcncvolcnce-a
cunning and SclfishncsS which could trade ON
a widows grief and an Orphans bread: aye!
and make money by the trade too. But we
have no disposition to rake up the matter
Let it die. The enemies Of the American
Party are cndcavoring to make seeds of dis
scnsion Of it, but they will find their scheme

LIE. AND NOTHING ELSE. A writer in
the last Cecil Democrat speaking of Henry
Winter Davis says:
Ills aholitionism or frccsoil ism IS no new
thing, his antcc'drnts have long been well
known. In 1858 the wing delegates from
this county refused to vote for him in convcn-
tion for Governor, on that ground and on
that alone"
We were present at that convention. and
bore the only communication between the
friends of Mr.. Davis and the delegates from
Cecil. Mr. d. did not wish any vote on that
occasion he was not n candidate: and it was
at the special desire Of his flcinds that the
Cecil members who were favorable to him,
cast their votes for another person. The
above assertion of the correspondent of The
Democrat is a total fabrication, without any
foundation in truth.
