How the Union was Bought.
{ To be Gontinued.]


The Washington correspondent of the
n, Y. Courier and Enquirer thus discloses
the manner in which the Union was
bought:
1t has been for some time reported that
Mr.. Wendell was anxious to dissolve his
business connection with the Union news
paper general organ of the party which
devoured the profits of his printing con-
tracts, and, as it is alleged by his enemies,
brought him $4,000 in debt. In this
painful condition of things a gallant
bravet-militia General, from Pennsylvania,
named George Washington Bowman, pre-
sentcd his Albanian shoulder to receive
the pecuniary burthen, and generously
took the Union newspaper off the over
laden back of Mr.. Wendell Mr. Wendell
thought the sacrifice too great for any one
Democrat to make, and could only be
brought to consent to it by the promise of
$4,000, not by Mr. Bowman, who had
nothing to give, but by the official who
audits bills for printing and advertising
In word the purchase money of tn e
Union is to come out, of the public Treas
ury, ond is to be paid out Of the profits of
Jobs for printing and binding for the Exc
cutive Departments Of Government. II
is asserted that the arrangement was drawn
up by the learned Attorney General, and
it is therefore legally right, if not morally
right. Each month, for one revolving
year, 81 ,666 is to be paid to Mr.. Wendell
until the organ shall be as free as its own
wind. 1t is ludicrous to hear Democratic
indignation expressed over this arrange.
ment when it is an undenied and undeni-
able fact that the Representatives of the
whole party, in caucus assembled, sane.
toned and ratified a precisely similar pro.
ceeding in the nomination of Mr.. Stead.
man to be Printer to the last House. On
that occasion Mr.. Wendell was the pre-.
ferred candidate, but Mr.. Steadman was
nominated upon the understood and
stipulated condition that part of the
profits of the work should be paid over tC
A. ID. Banks, of Virginia, And they
have been so paid over, No Democrat
can deny the party authority for this
transaction since it was perpetrated by al
the Democratic Representatives from al
sections, and prominent, as | believe
among those who acted in it, was thai
same honest John Letchor, candidate fol-
Governor of Virginia, whose sole claim tC
popular favor is that he has prevented
other people from robbing the Treasury
SO that in the appointment of the Goa
Agent for Pennsylvania aud the distribu
ton Of his salary among two or three De
moerats, and in the sale of the Union upol
the condition that it should be raid fol
out of the Treasury, the President ha
only followed precedent set him by hi
partizens in Congress. To pretend tha
the party is any purer than the most cor
rupt Of its servants, is piece Of impuden
assumption wich can deceive only thos
who are ignorant of its current history.

ASHAMED CT HIS NAuvrr-The Democrat

ASHAMED CT HIS NAuyITY.-The Democratic
candidate for Governor in Kentucky deserves to be
oeat, for changing his to get rid of the Irish
that he came by honestly. The Louisville Journa
says;
Mr.. Bell and Mr.. Magoffin were schoolmates. Mr.
Bell, in his late encounter with Mr.. Magoilin, al
Stanford, good naturedly stated the fact that hi;
competitors name, in his youth, was Ne Coffin. The
name of his parents was McGoffn, and that was
the name of all his ancestors. Mac. thought how
ever, that the name had a vulgar Irish sound, and
50 he changed it to the more aristocratic name o.
MaGofiin. lie was ashamed Of it as too Irish, and
he undertook to anglicise it, lie to have
an Irish name but we suppose he would not OBJ
ject particularly to having Irish votes. Ought he
not, under all the circumstances, to be especia
pet of the Irish

After my address to you, take this oppor-
tuuity TO inform you of the distress in Can

never mistreated me in anything. Some
people said if they was in piy place they
would leave and 20 to Canada, which has

lress, who was good to me. and bad plenty
to eat and to do; for cant getanything
to do or to eat in Canada If you please
send me fifteen or twepty dollars | am
coming home; times are so bard | cant
stay here. Frank Hallandme has agreed,
if you and Mr., Hall will send US money or
come for us, we will 20 TO Missouri, for we
are worse off here than If we were with our
good masters, for we almost starye to death

ge1s- A correspondent of the Cincinnati Gazette
writes to that paper from Madison, Ind:
In connection with the remark made in your col
umns by correspondent at Washington that "a
gentleman of one of the cities of the West holds
himself responsible with another, on OATH to prove
that not only documents ordered not to he dis
tributed when sent by certain Senator but that
letters also violated | would add that il is
capable of proof that packages of papers under
SEAL which were deposited ina Western postofiice,
during a recent campaign, were opened and contra
dictory documents inserted in the old envelopes, in
which shape the whole was forwarded. The dev-
cry into the postofce in good condition. and their
receipt in mutillated condition at the other post
offices, can, and if investigation is gotten up, will
be proved by some of j. BIS own officers.

Tue CHARLESTON CoNvENTIoN,-The
New York Herald, the leading organ of
the Democratic party since Buchanau's E.
lection says:
Some of the regular Democratic organs
are questioning Judge Douglas, Chevalier
Forney and their anti Lecompton "popu-
larsovereignty' newspapers whether they
do or do not intend to abide by the nomi-
nation and the platform of the Charleston
Convention? All such questions, we pre-
sumo, will be answered in the convention
and not before. We suspect, too, that the
upshot of the Convention will be the final
dispersion of the Democracy, and two or
three scrub tickets, for it is manifest that
the fixed policy of every prominent clique
of the party jugglers for the succession is
rule or ruin.

would crisp about the broad, massive brow,
in spite of scissors, were tinged with grey,
but the FIRE Of hazel eyes, deepened in
their hue by jetty fringes, was undiminish-
ed. Stern lines drawn by the hand Of
time or passion about the finely chiseled
mouth spoke of an inAexible will, but the
soft and winning smile that sometimes
played there gave them dangerous fasci-
nation. The only son of wealthy English
parents, with an Eton education, hand
some person and generous nature, Hugh
Leroy possessed the Sesame" which readi-
ly unlocked to him the mysteries of Paris,
whittier he was sent by anxious friends to
polish away by the friction of partisan
fashion, the rust contracted during a six
years course at Eton. Hugh plunged into
the whirlpool of fashionable follies with
all the intense ardor which College restric.
tions are so calculated to foster in the
breast of youth but which surprised those
who knew the quiet habits of the Eton
book-worm, as he was dubbed by his
wilder colleagues He ended a career of
dissipation at twenty eight by marrying
an Italian flower girl and settling in
America to avoid the displeasure of his
incensed family. One short year of we'd
ded bliss taught him all that earth can
know of happiness, and then the retribu-
tive hand of justice dashed his cup of joy
with deepest misery. His lovely, young
wife dropped like some fragile flower snap
ped by rude blast from the parent stern
ere its opening beauties had been furnished
by the fading touch of time, and was laid
to sleep amid the blossoms that symbolized
her frailty. The sorrow stricken mourner
sought forgetfulness in the strife of ma
tions. Ever foremost, where the fray was
fiercest, he won distinction, honor, fame,
but not the balm for which he sought
a lethe that should heal the wounds,
broader, deeper than any sword could in
hict.
At the termination of the war he re-
turned to his American home, the scene
of his happiest and bitterest moments, in
vited his widowed sister to preside over
his elegant establishment and take charge
of his infant daughter, and retired to a
cottage on his farm. Here he sought that
oblivion at the shrine of Bacchus which
had been denied by Mars, and had almost
wrecked in Bacchanalian rcvelries noble
intellect and handsome form. Emma
Alcourt, with a woman's constancy and
sisters pure, unselfish devotion refused to
leave him, ever hoping, ever striving to
win back the wanderer to the paths of
peace and rectitude

SIGNS OF THE TIMEs.-It is unusual
for public men of the South, in the hight
of their fame and influence, to persist in
retiring from service. But now, this sing
ular spectacle is shown in several instances
Mr.. STEPHENS, of Georgia, peremptorly
withdaaws. There is a smash.up coming,
he is said to have remarked, and it is time
to get off the train. GEO, w, JONES, of
Tennessee, takes a similar course. The
same is true Of Mr.. DowDELL, ofAiabama.
Not least, Mr., Orr, of South Carolina, late
Speaker of the House, has likewise refus-
ed a election, aud gone into voluntary
retirement. We have before mentioned
the opinion of DOUGLAS, as to coming E.

same presentiment:-C Cia. Gazette. <

HAVE WE A DEMOCRATIC PRsIDENT.-
The Washington States makes the follow
ing comments upon the difference between
the political views of az Democrat and of
President Buchanan: c-
Will any Democrat, for an instant, ven-
ture to Justify the enormous expenditures
of the Federal government? Can any Dem
ocrat approve the Presidents protective
tariff policy? Does any Democrat of the
tate Rights school support the Pacific
Railroad, or the military protectorate of
Mexico, or the proposition to arm the Exc
cutive with the war making power, or those
other enterprises of Federal aggrandize-
ments which are too familiar to require reN
capulation? Then why attempt an apology
for measures which fidelity to principle o.
biges us to repudate! Such conduct would
not only place the Democratic party in an
equiyocal attitude before the country, but
would fatally impair the effect of its resis-
tance to attacks Of the Opposition.
