DOUGLAS CLAIMS TO BE A DEMOCRAT ,

" DOUGLAS CLAIMS To BE a DEMOCRAT,
We are told every day that "Mr. Douglas
s i'll claims to be q Democrat" aud is coop
eratine with the Democracy in Illinois. All,
indeed He claimed to be Democrat
last winter when be was fighting his party
and its President He "cIaimed TO be
Democrat" while he was leading the Btaek:
Republican column in its shameful assault
upon The South. Professions are nothing
it is Mr.. Douglas acts that We have to deal
with. His claiming to be Democrat
does not constitute him one. For years be-
fore the public spostacy of Thomas Il. Ben,
ton, he pursued the same path which Douglas
is now travelling and, like him, "clsmed to
be Democrat" Martin Van Buren,, a prsc.
licaI Judas, q traitor aud a betrayer Of the
finest lscariot mould, still "clsns to be
Democrat" He renamed in the party so
long as he could, not for the love OF its prin.
clip es, or desire to aid in putting down all
opposition to them. but simply as means Of
linAictng the greatest amount of injury upon
the Democratic party and its organization.
Hale and Sumner " claimed to be Demo
cratsj' and such was the position David
Wilmot occupied until an outraged and in
dignan party rose in its strength, and drove
him from its ranks as political cheat and
imposter. Sam Houston-he, too, claimed
to be Democrat" while he was consorting
with the bitterest en- lnies of the party, SLAM
dering their principles, and undermining, in'
all possible ways, the confidence and attache
nent OF the people in the purity and truth
tuluess Of the Democratic party.
What is true with reference to these trail
tors and the course they. pursued previous TO
leaving or beng driven from the party, will
be--it it be not alread y-tFus in regard TO-
Douglas. In In hour OF trouble and need.
and when the Democratic party looked to its,
champions TO do their duty; when every sol.
dier wac expected to nerve the arm of pure
aud faithful President with strength and
whisper TO his heart hope aud triumph; at
such time, The little Judas from Illinois
the man from whom so much was expected
deserted his party and President. Nay, he
did more; he oined the black ted con-
spirators, and, although claiming to be a
Democrat" he prosttuted his position aud
desecrated the pure aud hallowed name Of
Democracy for the ignobe purpose of sowing
the seeds Of dscord in its ranks, and thus
benehtting the enemies of the Republic. and
we are called upon TO kiss the hand that
chastises us--to take back to our bosom the
serpent that poisoned the household, and
produced strife, desolatien and woe! In the
name Of Democracy we protest! In the name
OF the sentnes Of the party We execrats and
spit upon the traitor -AUalqnche.

AN EXQUISITE STORY, By LAMARTINE.

In me tribe of Neggdeh, there was horssr
whose fame was spread far and near, and
l}edouin of another tribe, by name Daherr
desired extremely to pos ess it.. Having Of
f4red in vain for it his csmsls and bis whole
wealth, be hit at length upon the following
device, oy which be hoped to gain the object
Of his desire:
lie resolved to stain his face with the juice
Of an herb, to clothe himself in rags, to tie
his legs and neck together, so rs to appear
like lame beggar. Thus equipped, he went
to wait for Naber, the owner of the horse,
who he knew was to pass that way. When
lie saw Naber approaching on his beautiful
steed, he cried cut in a weak voice
II am poor stranger; for three days !
have been unable to move from this spot to
seek for food. l am dying, help me and God
will reward YOU
The Bedoun kindly offered to take him
up on his horse, and carry him home.
Bat the rogue replied Il cannot rise; !
have no strength left
Naber touched with pity, dismounted, led
his horse to the spot, and, with great diff
Guilty Sc the seeming beggar on bis back.
But no sooner did Daher, feel himself in the
saddle than he set spurs to the horse, and
gaIIopped of, calling out as he did So
II is |, Daher. have got the horse, and
am If with it."
Naber called after him to stop snd listen,
Cert in of not being pursued, he turned and
halted at a short stance from Naber, who
was armed with a spear.
"You have taken my horse, said the lat
ter, "Since heaven has willed it, wish You
Joy of 1t; but do conjure you never to tell
any one how you obtained it."
"And why nol3' said Daher,
because said the noble Arab, another
man might be really i'll and men world fear
10 help bin, You would be the eause of
many refusing to perform an act of charity,
for fear of being duped as | have beeu."
Struck with 0hame at these words, Daher
was silent for moment, then spriuging from
the horse, returned it to its owner, embracing
him. Nab made him accompany him to
his tent, where they spent few days to-
gether, and became fast friends for life.

In speaking Of marriages for money, Miss
Muloch, the eminent writer, observes, we
think very justly: A
Marriages ought always to be question
not of necessity, but choice. Every girl
ought to be taught that a hasty. loveess
union stamps upon her as foul dishonor as
one ,of those connections which omit thc
legal ceremony altogether, and that, howev
er pale, dreary and toilsome a single life may
be, unhappy married life must be tenfold
worse. an ever haunting temptation, an in

maud as glibly as coujugal blessing
They can stand the shock Of battle as calmly
as kiss, and pour out their blood as freely
as their affections. They can give away
their lives as bravely as their hearts, and
quit seige as reluctantly as a Champagne

Like tree beside the river
Of her life that runs from me,
Do lean me, murmuring ever
In my loves idolatry;
And ! reach out hands of blessing,
And stretch out hands of prayer,
And, with passionate caressing. a
Waste my life upon the air; Ha
In my ears the syren river
Sings, and smiles up iu my face;
But forever and forever
Runs from my embrace.
Spring by spring the branches daily
Clothe themselves in tender flower;
And for her sweet sake as truly
All their fruit and fragrance shower
But the stream, with careless laughter,
Runs in merry beauty by,
And it leaves me, yearning after,
Lorn to weep, and lOrn to die;
In my ears the siren river 5
Sings, and smiles up in my face;
But forever and forever l
Runs from my embrace. M

A FiesT RATE PUFF. Al the Supreme
Court Of Vermont, Mrs Sarah A Mott was
divorced from her husband Mr. Darwin
Mott Tue Ratland Herald gives the fol.
lowing biography OF this worthy, which for
pith is rarely equaled:
" We know that man-Darwin Mott. He
came to ST. Albany with long face, a silver
headed cane, and +" Rev" preGxed to his
name. lie preached one faith few months
ago and suddenly changed it. He preached
and vent hunting the same day. He
preached on temperance (and the people
we're astonished at his stolen Lectures and
feigned honesty,) and got drunk. He lec-
tured to the yonHg ladies and played the
adulterer. He kept bad school edited a
reckless paper--Stole money, and charged
he theft upon the servant grl-got the
office of Deputy Iuspector-got drunk upon
'muggled liqunr-took one shirt another
mans wife aud bundle of manuscript ser
mons and ran away from bis own wife, his
paper and a crowd of creditors"
That certainly is marked example Of
condensed writing. We wonder how the
Reverend Darwin Mott likes the style.
