these points the political contests of parties
carried until this party, being repeat
edy defeated in its attempts TO maintain them,
formed an alliance with the aboltionists, and degen-

On the whole, we are not displeased to find this
party returning like the dog to his vomt, and again
hosting it's ancient colors Any Issue is, we think
preferable to that Of slavery, which strikes directly

Of common sense. We ready and willing to enter

unconquerable democracy will never be brbed to a
sacrifice of their principles by DIRECT AND rALrA-
BILE ArrEAL TO THEIR POCKETS.
We know very well there is a large class of poll
ticians who Judging by their own principles of ac-
ton, believe that mankind always and every
where governed by their interests, to the exclusion
of all other motives. But we have not quite con-
temptible an opinion of our fellowcreatures. We
believe very large portion Of mankind, though
they may be Influenced, not exclusively governed,
by selfish considerations; who, though they may
love money, will not sell their souls for it. nor sacr
doubtless many Esaus among us, but there are, we
trust, millions who will not sell their birthright for
mess of pottage.

WE see by the Pittsburgh papers, that Mr..

Duncan, frOma subordinate position, has rapidly
risen to the highest position within the gift Of

orally known, that the two wires of the Balti
more & Ohio Railroad Telegraph, were construct
cd under his superviston-thc first, constructed
someyears ago by some person, was almost a
total failure until rebuilt by him. Afterwards
second and entirely new wire was put up by
him, which is conceded by those who are capa-
bic of judging, to be one of the best working
lines in the country We trust that the intelli
gcnce and superior capabilities of Mr. Duncan
will be called into requisition whenever any OF
these great telegraphic enterprises, which mark
an advancement, are contemplated.
