EE-Will some of our Republican friend:

AZ WIN some OF our Republican friend:
inform US why it is they have all at once
formed such an attachment for Senator
Douglas? 1t is utterly incomprehensiblt
to us. The principles he defends to-day
are the principles he defended on the pas
sage Of the Kansas Nebraska Bill; and who
but they. were his opponents at that time:
Truly Republican consistency has ceased
to be a jewel.
With policy and principles as tickle as
the wind, it is impossible to tell Twelve
months ahead what will be the ground on
which they will stand.
We once heard of man who was "hal
an hour too late" This unfortunate habit
followed him through life. and was the
source Of world of vexations and trials; al
last it proved of some service to the poor
fellow, for when he came to die; lie died
just half an hour after his time
So it is with the Republicans; they are
always too late" The Democrats 60 on,
incorporate, perfect, and put into practice
some important principle or policy of gov
ernment-Republicans opposing the while,
and after long trial it has become one Of
the component parts of our institutions, the
Republicans, for the first time, begin TO ap-
preciate its excellencies-pati its supporters
on the back, and say with Goliath. when
hit by Divid, "that such thing uever en-
tered their heads before" This unfortu.
nate habit, like the man just mentioned,
can only prove blessing by prolonging
their miserable existence beyond its natural
time.
We assure our Republican friends, how
ever, that all the favor and friendship they
are disposed to show Senator Douglas, is
entirely gratuitous on tLeir part. We do
not ask it of them, nor thank them for it
in fact we are inclined to believe with the
Free Press that their favor i, far more
hurtful than their fro yns.
Those who having been seduced into
their ranks last fall are willing to repudiate
the party, confess their delusion,' and re-
turn, as thousands are daily doing. We
will receive them again, but not as the Fa-
Their of the Prodigal Son, with fatted calf,
but after they have dipped themselves sew
en- times in the river Jordan, and put on
again the unstained garments of Democra-
cy.

Monetary Affairs.

Money is drug on the streets notwith-
standing the wants of the community in re-
gard to it. Paper ia scarce and business is
very dull. New obligations are sparingly
entered into. The banks take what paper
is offered at 7per cent The discount bro
kers buy good Endorsed paper at 9@l per
cent; and 1901 for unindorsed.
The stock improved little in the fore
noon, but declined at the second board
with great listlessness.
The report of a heavy shipment ofspecie
to morrow wrought the depression in the
afternoon as compared with the advance In
the morning. but the changes are slight.
and mark dullness of demand without any
pressure to sell. The specie shipments are
now likely to be large FOR some time to come,
and the specie in bank is now supposed to
be at the highest. The next California
steamer will not be here till the middle of
next week and we are likely to ship twice
or thrice as much as she will bring before
she can arrive.
The gold movement is active. The bro
kers have been selling at 4@4 good deal
at 5-l6 Of one per cent, premium. to ship
pers by to-morrow's Liverpool steamer,
which will, we understand. take over mill
ion Of dollars.
Sterling exchange is very active, but

October 9th, 1857.
We drink to one Bayard height;
In whose fine heart and falcon glance,
We hail once more the noble knight
And gallant gentleman of France.
We toast Taylor; one who cuts
Out all our books, bat not our breeches;
A lucky wight who loves saur-krot,
And vet who never cabbages.
We pledge poet, crowned with bay
Whose every leaf his country knows
Strange, though in verse he has his way,
That every reader cons his prose.
We drink q traveller, who goes
In bee line, to sea, to see,
What comes the following that nose
That knows the way to Already.
A traveller whose earnest aim
The sources of the Nile to scan,
By way of contrast, feeds the flame.
Oftravel with the Isle of Man
We Benedicks had sore alarms
His flowers might not end in fruit,
But Bayard now gives up his arms
This knight our Taylor follow suit
We pledge maid we meier shall know
wife whom one day We shall see,
The years that banyan-like shall grow,
We pledge the children that shall be.
Oh friend beloved, and friend unknown,
Ye stand mid bridal songs and flowers,
And, with blossoms Ger you thrown,
s We breathe prayer and mingle ours.
