hacks, assembled at the Court house
on Jan. 18th, and with loud acclaim
resolved that They would meet their
banner in the sun" in 1860, and 'hail
their triumph in the winds.' Now
it is not altogether improbable that
most Of these manufacturers OF DISCUS
ting resolutions will meet their bah
ner in a place rs hot as the sun, and
the balance "hail their triumph" III
the wind which they will raise ~
their signs Of defeat. Their Triumph
will be a windy one We have no doubt
but whether it will "hail" as early rs
November 1860, or rain tear drops
from the eyes of gricying Republicans,
our almanac saith not.
TO give our readers some idea Of the
disgusting buzzard stomachs OF the
Republican leaders, in vomiting up
slang, billingsgate and profanity, We
give one Of their resolutions rs follows:
2. Resolved, That the outgoing Admin
istration OF Franklin Pierce, for Ms reps aied
violations of the Constitution of the United
States, for its bold aud daring usurpAtion
| OF sovereignty aud law, in ITS cruel aud
wan'on outrages on the lives and liberties
| Of American citizens, IN ITS IsFERSAL TS'
RAINY aud crimes, perpetraled under the
most REVOLVING PRErExTs and assumptions
| in its plant concessions to the arrogant de-
mands Of The South, in is violent perver'
sions of the true meaning and IN ent Of the
Organic Law Of the country, cons'ruifg II
to the sanction Of acts without \ pat allel
in the history Of any free government, IN its
unnumbeted and nam.less FRAUDS, rERfi'
DIES and FoLLiEs, committed IN VULGAR
| and rapid succession, 10 which no motive
can be aScribnd but HATE, and no PLEA or
IMBEc,Liry will pardon, stands withoh'
riya! in It's "bad pre',mnehce," and surely
| and justly will receive. az II deserves, me
scoRN and fxE.RarioNs If the civilized
world.
Such Wi garity Of language, and m
temperate exhibition OF maiiee and III
durable hate, Was never before crowd
cd into 50 narrow compass as Is seen
in the foregoing resolution.
1t is filled with ialsehoods, foul and
filthy tish-woman's slang, and is one of
the best proofs OF the unfitncss OF the
dcmagogues of that party, for political
power. Many OF the Republicans
present, we are told, refused I" vote
for such indecent language. 1t Is all
aimed a, the retiring 'hiei Magistrate,
rs though abuse oi an vA-Irc,ideht
would strengthen then party to CO.
operate against the administration OF
James buchanan.
We rejoice that the Republicans OF
Scott County ARE una~ed 10y the de-
tiant spirit OF OF the slave power but
the declaration puts rs in mind OF u
story Of the little boy, who had been
told Of the existence OF such creature
as "a "Salamandcr" in certain cove by
the road side by which he had to pass.
As he approached the terrible spot
where the apocryphal animal was sup
posed To- live, he commenced whist
ling TO keep his courage up. and
from that 10 uttcring the most
teroci"u, threats OF utter Jestruc-
ton To the creature If il should dare 10
make its appearance. When near
the cave he took to hi, heels and ran
like a hare pursued 10y hounds, fright
ened halfto death lest the salamander
was following linn. So the Republi-
can tiends of Scott imagine that there
Is, somewhere about. =. defiant spirit
OF the slave power" and they declare
that they are ''unmov,d'' ty that
spirit. Hope the spirit won't appear
to them. tor the cen>us report shows
that scott county has already IL
idiots, and the severe fright which
these resolution mongcrs would re-
cieve might greatly increase the num-
Der,
