Democratic Enlistment.


The campaign of 1860 is beginning to
occupy the minds of certain circles. The
managasT are already arranging the prelim-
inaries- In New York, says the Journal of
COmmeree, about four hundred new citizens
were manufactured on last Monday out of
raw foreign emigrants, and on Tuesday fol-
lowing, about five hundred more underwent
the metamorphosis under the auspices of
" Old Tammany," who pays the grist. If
the party, in o consolidated mass, were ex-
hibited with a thorough infusion and adj
mixture Of all its elements, the alchemist
who could successfully analyze and classify
the heterogeneous combination might be en-
couraged next to try his hand on the philos-
ophers stone. Nj
All of the principle of organization con-
tanned in the Democratic party, could be
wrapped, and re-wrapped and securely bum
died up in moiety of the naturalization pa
pers that belong to its members. Aye, the
whole party, in aggregate, could be picked
in the rot gut that is required to run single
campaign, and the moral infdeity and po-
litical heresies that distend it's bloated pro-
portions, are sufficient to eonsign a nation,
double the size of ours, to the doom of
Sodorn and Gomorrah. That party is a unit
sadly disintegrated. 1t is Harmonious
they agree to disagree-the harmony of dis
cord, And we expect next to hear their
propaganda applying to themselves the dog
ma of the Immaculate Conception. Is.
They have fixed principles-like the PLAN
cts, principle of revolving. Any ordinary
circus bill would thoroughly advertise the
programme Of the party, every act being
introduced with ground and lofty tumbling.
We have no objection whatever to the issu-
ing of naturalization papers TO those who
are entitled to receive them under the laws
OF the United States, but the wholesale
frauds that are perpetrated on the people
every year for political purposes by enlr.tn-
chising the foreign emigrabt almost as
soon as hes has set his foot on our shores,
should be Reproduced, by the conscientious
men OF that party. For we believe that
there are those in theT DemocElfic ranks
whose integrity and sense Of right wonld
make them reeoil at abe idea of sanetifying
ubiquitous means by even holiness of pur-
pose.

ASSEMBLY CLUB Hops.-we were gratifie


ASSEMBLY CLUB HoPs.---We were grati6ed
on the last evening of the Hop, to see so
numerous an attendance; although the
weather was very Indictment, it did not de-
crease their numbers, or dampen their en-
joyment in the least-in fact from the
manner in which they are conducted, it
could not be otherwise. We have had for
many winters past such Clubs, but of no
time have they given such general satisfac-
ton as at present. We hear it rumored
that their Hop during Christmas week, will
be in fancy costume. 1t would doubtless be
very agreeable The members will be pleased
at all times to see those who have received
cards of invitation, as none are admitted
without their respective cards; and TO avoid
trouble, they ought to be presented at the
door. The next OF the series will take place
to- morrow friday evening, from eight to
twelve. --~-----=s----------s-

How the House of Representatives will
be organized, is somewhat like the Italian
neutrality-suspicious. 1t is conceded that
no party has a clear majority, and which
ever succeeds muss make concessions
Aware of this fast both the Democratic
and Republican parties are playing the
agreeable to tbs anti-Lecomptonites and
South Americans. The New York Tribune
is particularly exercised in securing the
Speaker. 1t is willing to throw overheard
every other officer for that of Speaker. We
copy from a late editoIial in that paper:
. We notice a suggestion from certain quar-
tiers that the Republicans should hold a Re-
publican caHcns nominate Republican
candidate tor each Office to be filled by the
House, and " nail their colors to the mast
as the yain-g lorions phrase is. This is mad
neSS-suicide. 1t is the clear duty Of the
Republicans to elect the Speaker, and thus
control the formation of the important Com
mittees, if this be within their power. 80
If they can do this only by supporting an
anti-Lecompton Democrat or Southern
American for Clerk or Printer-nay, by
letting the Clerkship go in one direction
and the printing in the other-they will be
polltlcallya and morally culpable, if they
throw away the opportunity. If sacrificing
every subordinate Office will secure them the
Speaker, they ought not to hesitate a mo-
ment, but pitch them overheard.
We want Committee of WAYS and
Means that will hold tight rein over the
expenditures during the ensuing canvass;
We want a Public Land Committee that viii
put the Homestead bill before the House
this side of Christmas, and Through the
House about New Years.; we want good
Tariff bill framed-though probably only to
be rejected or divested of all it's better pro-
visions by the Senate; we want Investiga-
ting Committees that will fearlessly and
