How Is IL that WhlIe SO many statesmen OF the
Democratic party have risen in their places in
Congress to demand and denounce the treason
for which John Brown, . private man, trained
less border warfare, was hanged, not one has
Numbered out an indignant reprOof at the open
avowals of reasonable ana revolutionary pur-
poses uttered in both Houses of the came Con-
gress by men who have sworn allegiance to the
Constitution, and who represent both the South
and the Democracy Is it because John Brown
is dead traitor, aud Clays, OWNS, Crawfords,
and Currys are living ones? Or is il because
they love the peculiar treason of Crawford and
Gwn as much as they hate that of John Brown!
In any event the country will understand that
the only Disunionists, apart from the Garrison
Abolitionists, are these Democratic leaders, BY
whom the policy of that party has long been
substantially dictated. The only Disunion party
is the Democratic party and all the troubles
which now surround the Slavery question have
been brought on by this party acting under the
inspiration of Disunionists and demagogues.-
The only way, then, to restore peace and to put
down the STRINGS of Revolution and Dsunion
IL to turn the Disunioniets out OF power, and
commit the government to the hands Of the
Constitutional Republican party.

however, Clark tired of his conquest, as often
happens, aud deserted his paramour, leaving
her penniless and without friends. BY some
means the woman-s husband heard of her
whereabouts and condition, and wrote her q
letter stating that If she was in need ne would
be friend to her, and though feeling himself
deeply wrGnged, be would never see her suffer.
Mrs. Osborn seemed to be greatly affected BY
the receipt Of this, but instead Of awaiting her
self OF the proposition it contained she took up
IN abode in house of ill,fame near the corner
Of Green and Seventh streets. Another letter

The uufaithful wife then sent for and swallowed
large dose of laudanum, which, but for the
timely aid Of DR.. Chapman, must have proved
fatal. We understand she still declares her
husband ehan never see her alive, and black

over her movements.-lSt. Louis Republican.
