BUCHANAN ON DoUGLAs.-Mr. Buchan.
an was lately petitioued by distinguished
Democrats Of New York to suspend hos
tilities against Douglas. lie replied -
"The unity of the Democratic party shall
be preserved. though you lose every Con.
gressional District Of New York" The
President was prepared for the disaster in
Pennsylvania; but is deeply affected by
Hopkins's and Clancy JOnes's defeat.
He says the whole disaster to the Democ.
racy il "chargable to Douglas. who was
too cowardly 10 carry ont the work he
began. and now wants to crawl back into
favor" So the war Of words goes on.

of it in his own words

From Washington.

Washington. Oct. %. IS.
The impression exists here. that the
next house will be so closely balanced that
its organization may be determined by
the vote of a few Southern Americans
from Maryland, with Humphrey Mar
shall. The friends of tine Administration
claim Montgomery and Schwartz. in
Pennsylvania. and any Illinois members
who may be elected. except Harris. who
is counted out in company with Hickman,
Of Pennsylvania, and Davis of Indiana.
The Democratic game now is to consol-
idate the South by surrendering the nom
ination to those Americans who will agree
to unite. This will be done in Georgia,
Tennessee and Louisiana. The programme
is sectional like that Of 1856, and aims
to combine the South and to constrain
the weak portion of the North.

MoDEsT.-The Washington Republic
comes to us with a marked notice, stating
that they shall hereafter demand 81 diff
ference of all papers with whom they
exchange their Weekly. Verify, quite q
modest opinion it has of itself, to think
that it is worth dollar more than any
other paper. The price Of the Republic
is 50 a and the price of the Chic
is the same. We always like to see
lover the left y that liberal spirit in pub
fishers, which induces them to refuse to
exchange on equal terms with papers that
happen to contain column or two less
than their own. The Republic deserves a
difference of SO, for its assurance. But
as we have not $40, nor 81, to spare,
guess we shall have to bid the Republic
farewell, which will not affect US very Sc
riopsly, inasmuch as it is Of little or nc
use to us.

EXTRAORDINARY AND DAIxTT FEAsT.-
They have had rich political campaign
up in Woodbury. County, Iowa. in which
is situated Sioux City. Jokes and guar
rels. fun and fights. have been plentiful
The Democracy nominated a County
Ticket, which many members of the par
ty claimed was bogus. and that it had
been nominated through the frauds Of the
French and Half Breeds, who abound in
that region. An independent ticket,
composed Of Democrats and Republicans.
was gotten up. and was supported By the
Sioux City Eagle. This ticket was sue
cessful. The Eagle says that extensive
preparations for a Notification and feast
had been made in the HalEBreed settle
ment. A reporter for the Eagle visited
the above locality, and in his report we
find the following bill Of fare Could
anything more dainty be conceived by
mortal man? Who but those with 'In-
jim" in them, could get up such rare
dishes? 1t makes ones mouth and eyes
water, even to read it. The Eagle says !:
On his way in, our messenger made a
short halt at Smutty Bears camp, where
he found on immense crowd of nine Half
Breeds and a white squaw, preparing a
feast in anticipation of general rejoicing
over the promised election of Tackett and
Allison. We print The Bill Of Fare. as
furnished our messenger. 1t was printed
by the Organ. on dry beaver skias. and
with molasses instead of ink. Being
printed in the Half Breed language, it is
possible some errors have been made in
translat;ng it.

ANOTHER RUFFIAN GoSE.-The aven-
ger of blood is still on the track, and
another murderer has been paid off. A
short time since, Reverend Martin White.
who shot young Fred. Brown, at the Os-
sawstomie massacre, in 1856. was found
dead near his house. on the border Of
Missouri. He was one Of the most blood
thirsty wretches that ever engaged in the
Rufian service. The instrument Of Hea-
ven.. who settled the account with this
villain, is not known.
So it is. and so it sho1ld be. The
avenger viii hover around, as long as
there is ficne to be punished. Late ad-
vices say that G. w. Clark, the murderer
of Barber, actually was shot and scalped.

A CERTAIN VIcToRY.-Our Eastern
contemporaries seem generally to agree that
the recent elections in Ohio, Pennsylvania
and Indiana have decided the fate of
DougIas--that he is to be beaten. There
is no room to doubt the correctness Of
their conclusions. The Influences which
have Impelled the people of these States
to put their foot on the neck of the bred
Scott heresy. are actively at work in Hi
nois and Mr.. Douglas pretensio1s to
frees oilism of the doubtful and untrust-
worthy sort which contents itself with op-
position to Lecompton only, will not save
him from the effect of popular displeas-
ure. We look for an expression from IL
linois that will agreeab;y astonish our
most sanguine friends. A victory for
them is foregone conclusion but tri-
umph more decisive than anything that
they have anticipated, will be their GER
tain reward. But every man to his post

The MORAL OF JoSEs' DEFEAT.-A
Washington correspondent Of the New

81 look upon the rejection of Mr.. Jones
as an event Of great moment in another
aspect. 1t marks the beginning of the
regeneration Of Pennsylvania and great
err still, it shows that the work Of eman-
cipating the noble German mind in the
United States from the servitude Of catch
words. from devotion to African slavery,
and from the tyranny OF sham Democra-
cy, has gone so far as to overthrow those
influences in their very citadel. Let the
Germans of Illinois and the Great West
remember in all future conflicts, that the
most ancient seat of German power on this
Continent has yielded to the force oftruth.
and has spurned slavery and the leaders
of the servile Democracy. This is the
moral I draw from the defeat of J. CLAN
cy Jones.

tention to an error, which we had not
noticed, in the map on our fourth page.
Kansas City is there represented as being
in Kansas, whereas it is in Missouri.
1t is very near the line, and the mistake
was made by the engraver. in running the
line on the wrong side of the town. As
the citizens of Kansas City generally have
considered themselves residents of Kan

the engraver into the error. Our readers
can Just consider Kansas City as being in

The Tariff is the breaker ahead. Mr.

and Mr.. Robert ]. Walker is composing a
book upon it. Pennsylvania has spoken,
and demands work and pay. Mr.. Buch-
anan has heard these sounds before, but
never quite so distinctly. Mr.. Cobb is
struck all of heap, and does not pretend
to have an opinion in so grave an ext
gency.

an illustration of the strict business habits
of Providence, R. l.. that gentleman of
that place who had been unfortunate, and
had closed without paying one hundred
cents to the dollar, was asked his opinion
on some question Of general discussion.
"My opinion, my dear friend, do You
wish to hurt my feelings, have no opin-
ion. I kore failed," was the answer.
How can a man have an opinion who has
failed Mr.. Cobb has no opinion on the

of retrenchment and reform which he can
pursue under the great advantage Of a
