The Straw.Staek War.

The Chicago Press and Tribune asks, if
the burning of a straw-stack in the neighbor
hood Of Charlestown, Virginia, creates Wa
terloo panic among the chvalry, what might
be expected to follow a severe storm of thun-
der and lightning, or small bit of an earth
quake? Undoubtedly two-thirds of the State
would go stark crazy, and the balance would
charge the phenomenon on the machin ations
of the Black Republicans. The latest advices
from the scene of tumult state that the straw
stack had been "put out" no enemy had
been found, but that the excitement had bro
ken out again with tenfold foolshness. Gov.
Wise has gone up to Charlestown with five
hundred additional men. Congressman Pryor
has shouldered his musket and marched as
high private to the site of the late straw-stack.
Battalans are moving vigorously forward
from all points. Each man acts as though a
private Banquo were pointing his pale finger
and shaking his CORY locks before him. If
relief does not speedily come to the terror in
fected populace in North Virginia, there will
be no one left with nerve enough to hang Old
Brown. The only man in jefferson county,
Va, has been put in Jail, and the women and
children outside are at the mercy of straw
stacks! -.-.
In history this will be known as the Straw
Stack War 1t will be related that the Com
nonwealth of Virginia was convulsed by the
casual burning of heap of fodder-that her
military persons were thrown into ague fits
at the sight OF the fame-that instead of
throwing few buckets of water upon it, they
telegraphcd for the army of the United States
to come and catch the incendiary-that in the
excess Of vigilance they took each other in Gus
tody, and issued proclamations against ped
lars of tnware-that they gathered from one
place and another thousand armed men and
stationed them in the vicinity of the insdious
straw stack. We expect to hear the opinion
broached before the straw war is over that the
devil set the stack on fire IN prQpria person9,
and that the smell of birthstone was detected
fifty miles from CharlestOwn.

The Democracy

"The party Ethe Democraticl is inevitably
and hopelessly rent asunder."-Tfbf Tribune
In this the "wish is father to the thought"
The Tribune is evidently ahead of the mails
with its news, although it only gives currency
to a ruumor that is much older than the young
aud rsickly Republican party. The prediction
that athe Democracy were divided and hope
lessly rent asunder" has been made for years
by the opposition to our party. Regularly as
the fall came, the old whig Party, with which
the Democracy have had some terrible conflicts
made the annual assertion that we were "d1-
vided," but when election day came on and
the ballots were counted, the division did not
amount to muchi After the old wing party
sshufied off the mortal COLL there arose a Sc
cret party, who by midnight meetings and
solemn oaths, endeavored to slide into high
Llaces and control the Government. For a
brief hour it strutted the political stage, trl-
umphant and victorious, but 1t could not stand
the vigorous blows and sound logic of the De-
mocracy.- That party soon vdwlndled into
n~othingness!
Then the Black Republican party, embody-
ing every ism, endorsing every ate, arrayed
themselves against us in 1856 They then
claimed an easy victory over the "hopelessly
divided Democracy" Yet they were distanced
in that heat-had no bottom-no wind-no
running qualities! They ingloriously fzzled,
and to-day, while they rite about Democratic
divisions, they themselves are hopelessly dlyI-
ded., In Ohio there is a Corwin wing and a
Giddings wing of Republicans. The Corwin
party, led on by the Dayton Gazette, Urbana
Citizen, &C., &C., are a~ssailing the Giddings fac
ton for voting against the admission OF free
Opegon-denouncing them for giving the lie
direct to their own professions in favor of free
dom.
We tell the Tribune and the Republicans
who chuckle over divisions in the Democratic
party that they are, to use the welEknown
phrase, Ycounting chickens before they are
Ihafched." The Democratic party is in a better
position now than it was last fall. There is no
longer an iota of dissension. Then, it is true,
upon some questions the Democracy differed,
but their aim even then was the same-the
speacen and tranquility of the Union. Our
struggles then were only over a question OF
policy, involving no difference as to principle,
we stand to-day all united-all ready to clasp
hands-ai ready to war to the bitter end the
principles of the Republican party, who in
stead of proposing any sounder policy than the
Democracy advance, content themselves with
making war on its men-with fault-hndIng,
with vague charges and indirect i%nsinuations,
against its honesty, and by eternally eroaking
of its coming downfall LSeneca AdUertiser-
