The Democratic Cauldron bubbling In
another quarter.

York County, 20 Is seems, Is not the emily
place in the State where she division Of the
spoi!s, by the new administration. is cruising

poiutnents in Lincoln, - it would appear
by the accompanying extracts, from the Uni

Of the Saso Democrat stamp, are Tar from

The trouble in Lincoln County arises from
the fact that Buchanan, with that kind oil
old federal consideration which probably has
stack by him since his frst entrance into
public life, has appointed strait whig, John
II. Kennedy, 70 the oollessOrship Of Waldo
boro. We have very little administration
for the Democrats Of Lincoln. They were
exceedingly pleased with strait wing a'sis-
lance before election and they should not
ow object - ,heir taking, even the lion'sn
share Of the spoiL. We have had ZONE
knowledge Of these 'trai, wings in Lincoln,
and as to their past political character we
have considered them for many ysars US fully
qualified by their sptness for corruption and
treashery for the highest posts in the demo
cratic party.
We will give our readers few extracts
with appropriate hsadings:-

OF this District, il they could have done 20
consistently with their sef-espect, they felt
constrained by every principle Of manhood
to meet ~ith becoming spirit what they con-
sidered TO be an outrage upon the democracy
Of this District, and to express, in public
manner, their dIapprob0tion Of the appoint.

the democracy for many ysars-go up to
Washington praying for the appointment Of
