or The most fearful sign of the day is the
gross venalty of the party organs-their
shameless prostitution to the support of the
basest and most infamous party purposes
Every sentiment Of moral honesty--all regard
for truth-all self respect as men-is lost
in the vile service to which they sell them
selves; the miserable black wretch upon the
sugar plantation, wearing the collar Of servi-
tude and subject to the lash of his overseei'
is more Of man, with an unslaved soul, that
no letters can bind, than the hireling laborers
Of the party press that do the biddings Of
their corrupt masters, and yield up honor,
conscience and truth, in the degrading
service.
The Democratic papers express the most
indignant denunciations against the Republi-
cans for the expulsion Of Woods from the
Senate; which, however injudicious and ILL.,
advised, had the semblance of right, and was
in form legal proceeding: while they uphold
by line of argument that is an insult to the
common sense Of the people, the constitution
atty and propriety Of the anarchial proceed
ings of their own party in forcing two Of their
leading demagogues upon the people as Sena-
tors of the United States. Venality and pc.
litical profigacy have one would think, found
their lowest depths, in these unprincipled fac
tons; and If the conservative citizens of al
parties-men who yet cherish some hopeful
sentiments of patriotism amid the degeneracy
and corruptions of the times, do not unite anC
put down these destructives and anarchists
we shall havs nothing better than the rule o
the mob.
The State Sentinel while defending tn,
outrageous conduct fits own party by fallacie
too ridiculous and absurd for serious common
exhibiting a degradation and perversion o
intellect, that is slavish and pitiful--with al
affected out-burst Of virtuous indignation, ex
claims against the Republicans for expellini

OF There have been organized, says the
Albany Journal in the State of New York, a
very large number of Divisions of "Sons OF
Temperance" since the Maine Law was de-
clared unconstitutional by the Courts. Many
Of those institutions had been permitted to 90
to decay in mistaken reliance upon the
efficiency of the Maine Law to suppress in
temperance. A law is now before the Legis
lature containing but three short sections,
against which no constitutional question can
arise. The revival and propagation of their
social institutions will no doubt do more to
correct the moral sentiment of community,
and thus suppress intemperance by moral
session, than all the prohibitory laws that can
be enacted.

The Late Murder in New York.

We announced on Thursday mornin: I
another murder in the city Of New York
Since then the particulars have transpired, on
ly to more completely envelope the affair in
mystery.
The victim, DR.. Burdell, was widely known
as writer upon and practitioner in dentistry,
was a fine looking man, about forty years oil
age. He was worth about $50 OOO in real es-
tate and stocks. lie has been married twice
When found he had been dead some time from
the effects OF fifteen stabs IL his neck and
breast, made with some narrow bladed sharp
instrument and on his neck were signs OF an
attempt ut strangulation, which were further
proved from the fact that his lungs were full OF
air, and his tongue protruded bet ween his teeth.
One OF the cuts had snyered the jugular vein,
and another nearly separated the vertebra -

penetrated his heart.

being made to clear up the mystery.

that jewelry is put down at S4.57G; brandy

ale $1,000: patent leather $500; furs $751;

bear away the palm with a vast margin.
