FRox Maine to Texas, and even out in Cali>
fornia, we get little bits of country weekly
papers, as well as some big ones, and very
cleverones, too. in point of ability, all having
huge black lines drawn around some piece with
an editorial preface, most generally, in which we
are sure to find either part Of, or the whole OF
Senator Caldwell's speech TO the Germans. We
don't think that one of Sylyanus Cobb's yarns
or Edward Everett's ten thousand dollar Mt
Vernon papers, have had half the run that the
little giants speech has. five had had an idea
that the thing was going to run wild in the sort
of style that it has, we should have advised our
little giant to have done like the Illinois giant
and had it patented, for We see that lots of
these country weekly fellows have appropriated
it bodily, after all our pains TO report it, with
out so much as giving US passing hooter of
credit
The chaps up North and "downEEast, and out
West, who publish it, commend it as so much
pure, nndistilled gospel, which it would be safe
and absolutely nutritious TO use copiously until
after the elections among the "sin-perishing
Democracy" Indeed these extravagant fellows
especially those out West, would almost per-
suade US that the market for quinine had been
quite Superseded by the little giants remarks
Down below Mason and Dixon's, the tune is
slightly altered Every fellow gives the thing
Kick as it passes. and damns it little lower,
if possible, than when it came to hand. "Hang

If1the present mania continues for the elo.
quence of the little giant, We believe that We
shall have him to write out few more rcmarks,
for like "the felah that told ths tale of the one
h"5s shay" he's got plenty "more as good as
that" and then strike bargain with him, after
the style of Barnum with Jenny Lind, and start
for the more infected regions.

THERE is feature in the discussions both in
the papers and on the hustings, in the cam.
P9igns that are now progressing in New York,
Pennsylvania, Ohio, &c, that is quite noticeable
and interesting. The Republicans and Demo-
Gratis (for there are but the two partiesl seem
half inclined to change places, or rather to
swap little doctrine back aud forward For
instance. that venerable snamander, the Charles
ton Mercury, is annoyed to think that the con
slant tendency of the Republican party, every.
where in the Free States, is to become constant
" conservative, and thus to eat and eat all the
time into the vitais of the Democracy, while
the aim OF the Democracy has been to borrow
as much Free Soil seasoning as would keep
them in existence, and in doing SO they are get>
ting worse tho or;ri,,o1 EH.o,
Mercury predicts that the Republican party will
be the truly conservative party of the country,
and theterm conservative, it regards as a bane-
full one. and injurious to the prospects of the
Cotton States for separate confedcracy. In
view Of the Wheeling Convention, the Mercury
considers Virgnia poor excuse of Southern
State
Tug Democrats lin disguise) of the Times
complain that we pay too much attention to
their spelling and grammar, and lose sight of
the force of their arguments. For the sake of
variety, but more especially to crafty our
friends, the Democrats Tin disguise), we reverse
the case to-day, and draw upon them principally
for specimens of the sentimental and the arcu.
mentative. Here's ono that contains both of
those features:

Isn't it delightful to think that a representa-
