"GOING,-GoING,-G !"-Coffroth
and Griffith, it is authoritatively stated,
have gene to the embrace of Lecompton-
ism. Amy act the former might do
would create no surprize to those who
know the man. The latter was better
thought of generally.
Without knowing Broderick PERSONAL
ly great many good citizens of the
State have hitherto had an unfavorable
impression of him imbibed on account Of
the character of his political associates,
some of whom were the most venal and
and corrupt vampires that invested So
ciety. We happen to know that Mr..
Broderick distrusted many of his old
professed adherents many years ago but
for want of personal cause sufficient to
Danish them from his presence, was obli-
ged to tolerate them longer then he carei
to do.
One by one, however, they drop off,
and the more, the happier the feelings
of Mr.. Broderick, and the greater the
change in public sentiment in his favor.
Relieved of these vermin and the suspi-
cions of the people formerly entertained
against Mr. Broderick will be removed
These late descrtions must remove a
load from his heart and add to the re-
grets of the Lecomptonites. We do not
believe the latter are well pleased with
the accession, 1t is a Nessus shirt to our
Lecompton friends; for besides sinking
the party morally and politically in its
own estimation, the sympathies of the
people are excited in favor of the man
upon whom these renegades arc pouring
their obloquy. The honest part Of the
population will flock to that standard
which is deserted by unprincipled, ira
ding politicians.

THE NATURALIZATION QURsTION-
We publish on the outside today, the
letters of Gen. Cass nthis subject, as
also the masterly produstion of John NJ.
Bolts. We never desired to obtain for

the politics of the country.
We therefore publish the documents

to observe that John M. Bolts is a true

BRoDERIcK IN PLUMAs.-

ick made speech to a lars audience in
Quincy, on the 2lst.
The Photographic report'of it in the
Union gives favorable impression of
Broderick's decorum of language con-
trasted with the low abuse of Senator
Gwin at Forest Hill and Yrcka. We
are glad to see deviation from the
scurrIllous course pursued by most stump.
ers in this campaign. Ifpublic men are
guilty, their misdecds should be made
known and substantiated by proof.
1t does not suffice that Mr.. Gwin, or
airy body else, should get pRand make
wholesale charges against an apponent,
without due authority. A man who has
proven defanlter to the government
while in position oftrust, and against
whom are many grave charges. should
clear his own character, before he sets
himself up as an accuser.
When charges are made and suspi-
cions are entertained against the conduct
and character of a public man, it does
not become him to charge his accuser of
the same or worse crimes to clear him.

The Democracy blown Up.

. senator Hale, oil New Hampshire, threw
a bombshell into the Democratic camp, du-
ring the recent session, says an exchange,
which did great damage to the party in de-
stroying the hopes and fond anticipations
of the generals. majors, adjutants, captains.
and corporals then assembled in the Sen
ate chamber, as to the future prospects and
harmony of the party of ''permancncy."
While one OF the appropriation bills was
under consideration. Mr.. Hale proposed to
! insert an additional section, repeating the
restriction clause in the English Till. which
prohibits Kansas coming into the Union
until her population shall reach $4,000,
1t was pcrccptiblc. at oacc. that the
Democratic members were confused and
chagrined. on account of the difficulty thus
placed in their way, from which there was
no escape, AMI which would assume great.
er proportions and magnitude the moment
an attempt was made to get il out of the
road or kick il aside; and there was no pos
siblc way Of sliding around it. There j,
stood and had to be met.
Astute Senators saw, at glance, that the
doctrine of Popular Sovereignty would a
gain come up for discussion under the mo
tion made by Mr.. Hale. Mr. Hunter, o.
Virginia, exclaimed in the bitterness of hi,
soul, Surely the Senator would not bring

Curious Fact In Natural History.

The rattlesnoke finds superior foe in the
deer and the black snake. Whenever a
buck discovers q rattlesnake in a situation
which invites attack, he loses no time 10 pre-.
pairing for battle. He makes up to within
ten or twelve feet of the snake then leaps
forwards and aims to sever the body of the
snake with his bifurcated hoofs. The first
onset is most commonly successful, but 9TH
erwise, the buck repeates the trial until he
cuts the snake in twain. The rapidity and
fatality OF his skillful mannlver leaves but
slight chance for It's victim either to escape
or to inject his poison into his more alert
antagonist. The black snake is also more
than an equal competitor against the rattle:
snake. Such is its celerity of motion, not
only in running, but in eDtwining itself
around its victim, that the rattlesnake has
no way OF escaping from its fatal embrace.
| When the black and rattle snake are about
to meet for battle the former darts forward
at the height of his speed, and strikes at the
neck OF the latter, with unerring certainty,
leaving foot or two OF the upper part of
bis own body at liberty. Ia an instant he
encircles him within FIVE or six folds, he
then stops and looks the strangled and
gasping foe in the face, to ascertain the ef.
feet produced upon his corseted body. Ifhe
shows any signs of life the coils are multi.
piled and the screws frightened the oper-
ator all the while narrowly watching the
countenance of the helpless victim. Thus
the two remain thirty or forty minntes-ths
