THE NATIONAL DIsUNIoN PARTY.-The
Mnysville Eagle makes the following sensi-
BILE remarks upon the rant and fustian of
Democrats about their being the only Nation
al party while il is in fact the hot. bed of dis.
unionism. 1t is true picture of modern De.
mocracy.>
1t is very common thing TO hear Locofo-
cos claim that the Democratic party is the
only national party in the country, and TO its
success we owe the preservation of the Union.
Now, we don't recolIecf ever 10 have heard
anybody else threaten dissolution OF the
Union except members of that party, and 1t,
therefore, has always sounded as strange
logic to us to hear them claim themselves to
be the Union-savers, when they alone have
endangered it.
The manner in which they save the Union
is about in this wise: They say 10 the bal
ance Of the country, ours is the only party
whose principles are National and patriotic,
and unless, therefore, you put the Govern
ment into our possession, we will dissolve
the Union at once. Their threats give them
success, and at once they arrogate to them
selves all the credit of everything the danger
with which the country was threatened.
This resembles good deal the conduct OF
highwayman, who after demanding the
money of a traveller at the mouth OF loaded
revolver, then claims the gratitude OF the
pundered victim, because he did not take
his life.
The two cases are about parallel, and every
one who will think about it for moment
will see that it is just so-and we ask every
voter 20 whom the argument is addressed,
that if Democracy has saved the country, TO
inquire who else has ever proposed its DIS
solution. No Locofoco can answer it sue
cessfullv

ANOTHER ROYAL MARRIAGE.

We gave, short time ago, lengthy nc.
count of the marriage between the English
Princess and the Prnssian Prince, in London
The "Nebraska City News" of the Sd instant
contains the particulars of The marriage of q
Pawnee Chief to a blood-royal squaw of the
Otoe tribe. The bridegroom was named
Whitewater, and the bride Wah-mush. pe-
shinga. We extract the following, not doubt.
ing that il will be relished By our readers:
The Chieitain's daughter was elegantly
dressed in a red flannel shirt with deep blue
calico border, checked apron, summer
killed buffalo robe and white felt hat. Her
Jewels were magnificent. From either auri-
cular suspended bright ornaments OF brass,
tin and copper.
We must not omit TO mention that Miss
Wa.mush. pe-shinga also wore "red petit
coat,n embroidered according to design OF
her own, with porcupine quiiis, representing
desperate dog light. H;Aeniire wardrobe
and jewelry coeld not hasfesesl less than six
thousand dollars In Fontenelle money. The
bridegroom was attired in all the magnifii
cence which his rank and wealth demanded
He wore standing shirt collar, "A medal OF
President Pierce, blue straight.colared sol.
dier coat, with brass buttons, and an elegant
pair OF Spanish spurs, while his stalwart lons
were admirably clothed in an ancient coffee
sack. Altogether the appearance Of both the
bride and the groom was appropriate TO their
high sphere in life.
The most sumptuous feast awaited the
guests at the residence of the BRIDES father.
1t was spread in a camp kettle and suspended
over the fire that burned in the centre of that
princely lodge. 1t consisted of young dog
meat, very tender, blue corn aud old dog
meat beaver tails and mule steak, fresh fish,
and sugar, making, altogether, one of the
most paatnble and nourishing compounds
that ever graced royal camp kettle. The
horn spoons of accidental luxury seldom con-
vey to the educated palate viands more temp.
ting and delicious. AS for drinks, corn whs.
key made of red pepper, tobacco plugs and
rain water, together with molasses sweetened
coffee, made up the list
Among the distinguished persons present
we did not fail to notice the six Mesdames
Petanasharo, the wives of the eminent "ln.
lin" who is now at Washington, visiting
James Buchanan on the official business
Also, Mr. Whilecow, Of the Omaha principal
ity, MIR. Big Soldier, ESQ. Wildcat and the
Hon. Short tailed Elk.

The Comets Curved Tail.

A correspondent Yesterday asked an explanation
Of the cause of the cun ell appearance Of the com
cts caudnl appcndnge. We did not feel qualified
to answer, although We thought it had rs good n
right 10 curl its tail cat, or have kink in it
a. n pig. But another correspondent, who does
not speak cathedra from the tower Of All astron-
omica observatory. and acknowledges himself q
lay member Of the scientific school, says the earth
cxcrts an attractive influence; that the part facing
the sun is Of ,ncaye firm, from which the solar
rays are reflected in direct line to their source,
but the vel,1ity with which the comet is travelling
north to south necessarily causes the curve on ac-
count Of the difference OF time it takes the differ
cnt reflected angles of light to reach our vision,
and that If the comet were to come to dead halt
where it now is, the tail would, in the course of
time, become strnig ht as n looms leg. We
must confess this explanation is n .'whorteberry
above our persimmons - and therefore we refer it
to the wntchmen ni the night who are stationcd on
the lighthouses of the skies. = Lonis,pHe jour.

Baltimore Election.

The election for Mayor and City Council was
held On Wednesday. The opponents of the Amer
lean rnrty, set UP as a candidate, wooden man
namrd Shut but at noon on the day of election,
that worthy individual issued pronunciamen,o
to his a4hercnts, withdrawing from the canvass,
excuse, TINT his friends were not allowed to cast
their votes. When it is known there was not the
least disturbance at tho polls during the day. this
pretext will be estimated ut its true worth. May
or Swami was, of course, elected without opros-
ton. In thus honoring such man rs Thomas
Swami, the noble Americans of the Monumental
City, honor themselves.
