DISOR0ANIZERS.

the morbid appetite which it created remains
and is spreading itself further than the know

x.psinciplsd usa are found who are wiling |
10 disorgsnise party, in The hope of gratify-
ing that ambition which the love ef cG6ce in-
cites. Among these may be found men who
used to call themselves Democrats, not because
they loved the principles Of that party, but
because they believed there was potency in
the name which would finally elevate them to
position of honor aud emolument. Being
disappointed in that, they rurn around and
unite with the enemies of those principles
which alone could preserve the Union. These
men are generally from the ranks of those
who sought, but were refused admission into
the secret conclaye of know nothingism, as
being unworthy to belong even to assassins
and it is not to be expected that such men
could benefit the Democratic party in any po-
sition they might hold. AS "dirs clings to
dirt SO there is kind of affinity between the
scattered elements of the broken party and
these discontented politicians: Among these
may be found the renowned Shanghai of
Bedford, who for twenty-six years has crosred
for office. and has as long been considered by
the Democratic party unworthy OF it. Assu-
ming all shades of principle. he has always
| endeavored to affiliate with the dominant par
ty, but has uniformly been misirusted, and
'.laid up to dry" Finally, becoming dissat-
sGed with the consolations of political defeat,
he sought spiritual consolation, with such ef-
feet that even his own party organs remarked
| that
| "While the lamp held out to burn,
| The pilcst sinner did rcturn.''
| However copious these consultations were,
they did not appear to satisfy his yearning
soul and he retired from the arena of politics
stogether-that is, he ''sold out" This al
so failed to soothe guilty conscience, and
lately we find him returning like the ''dog to
his yomit and the SOW to her waowing in the
mire" Ee has returned with about seUen
other spirits more uicked than himself, and
| like the rebellious angel who was thrust from
the realms of happiness into the regions of
despair, he is not satisfied with the narrow
bounds of Bedford county, for seeking out his
fendish malice, but must seek new fields of
operation, that his Upas breath may also faint
the political atmosphere of other regions and
bring greater curse upon the party He
has inveigled few ''kndred spirits" into
chains which will bind them politically for a
Thousand years." during which the world
will have some peace and quietude He Is
too much Of O coward to enter the arena him
self, but he promises others an equal share OF
the miseries which await him if they carry
out his designs. And it must be admitted
that he has few supple tools completely har-
messed. He shoots his darts across the line,
and they pick them up, but they prove "tet-
UNI tmbelle sine ictu." He attacks nomina-
tions fairly made, and endeavors to wrest from
the people of Cambria county the right te
choose for themselves He tells them thai
they have not sense enough to make nomi
