This is the title OF new Democratic pa
per just started in Sigourney, keokuk coun-
ty, under the editorial charge Of j. NJ. Casey.
The Democrat il an organ and advocate OF
the "harmouious Democracy" but We can
not gather from the number before us wheth-
or it enlists for Buchanan and Lecompton or
for Douglas and anti-Lecompton.
1t has q long article in defence Of Buchan-
ans political life, but does not think his
suggestions" Of Tariff policy in his mes
sage amount to a Recommendation 1t
also has an article devoted 10 the report of an
apprshended duel between Jones and Doug
las, which very justly scouts the probability
of such an occurrence, but not for the true
reason, that they have emo stomach for the
fight" "Wears aware, !" says the Democrat,
"that several papers Aave given currency to
report that collision would most likely
take place between Judge Douglas and some
other Democratic Senator during the present
session Of Congress, but no friend Of Judge
Douglas ever believed that he would so far
IorRet MS true position - 20 give cnai-
lengc. Nor il there true frisnd Of Senator
Jones--and be has many--that could for one
moment countenance such . report. For the
duelist there is no respect, for snch there 10
no sympathy, whether he gives or accepts a
challenge to decline such challenge is no
cowardice. We are opposed to this thing Of
numbering by written agreement
Now il will be remembered that Jones acted
as the friend Of Cilley, in his duel with
Graves, and has ever held himself subject 10
the requirements of the ''code," aud the re- |
cent correspondence between Douglas and
Fitch gives unmistakable evidence that Doug
las also desires to have il understood that he
holds his peers amenable to the laws OF the
duello.

nu.INEss NOTICE.

The United States Senate, which will
meet in executive session on the 4th Of March,
and which will constitute the Senate OF the
Both Congress, will be composed as follows;
Democrats, "a; Opposition, 80; supposing
Kansas and Oregon are not admitted. OF
the Democrats, 27 hail from the South, and
only seven from the North, while OF the OPP
position % are from the North and two from
the South. The interests of the North and
the cause Of freedom will have no show what
ever in the Democratic Senate, for the De-
mocracy, in its aristocratic elimination in the
Senatorial body, 10 essentially a slav eholding
strength Of parties, now, with that exhibited
four or FIVE years ago on the passage of the
Nebraska bill, the patriotic Republicans Of
the land have ample cause Of encouragement,
for that bill passed the Senate by vote
nearly 4 to /. Since that time the growth
Of Repubicanism has been steady, and its
growth in the future is sure. The Congress
OF 1860, ut the same rate OF increase, is
bound to be Republican, and hence the anxi-
ETY. Of the Democracy to secure the annexa-
ton Of Cuba. Hence the scheme Of pushing
the credit OF bankrupt Government for the
sum of thirty millions of dollars to be placed
in the hands of Buchanan to inaugurate q
wholesale plan OF bargain, corruption and
bribery, through which to carry the elections
for the slave-holding Democracy.
But whatever may be the relative strength
In the Senate, after the next census the fire.

and Buchanan and Cobb on tho Tariff. Ii
says that, on no single issue is there concord
ia the party, and asserts that the confusion
OF Babel WAS not equal to thu present discordt
Of Democracy. The States being understood
to express the views Of Douglas, the article
attracts great attention. The internal strife
Of Democracy burst forth with fury in de.
