IhePe are certain recognized rules OF civil
| lied political warfare, which, until this year,
have been observed by all parties in this State.
| 1t has been reserved to the Democracy OF
Burlington to inaugurate new species OF
hossilities in the present canvass, which are
without precedent smong gentlemen any where,
and Of which we had sample Lass Saturday
night
It had been announced that Hon. n. ]. Ruscb,
would address his fellow-citzens that evening
at Grimes Hail., He came here to fill that ap-
poinsment. As soop as lie reached the city the
notorious vagabond Schade sought him out and
insisted upon speaking with him before the
same audience. Mr Rusch declined to recog-
nize him or his right to occupy bis time or to
engage the attention Of his audience, where
upon the supporters Of Schade built bonfire
at the corner Of Main and Jefferson streets, and
mounted the poor creature on dry goods box,
for the sole purpose of kicking up q row to
disturb Mr.. Rusch's meeting. It was for this
purpose alone. that they selected that evening
for Schade to speak, and that they changed the
place Of speaking from tie corner Of Third and
Jefferson, where the Democrats hare uniformly
spoken before, to the corner Of Main and JEFF
terso',, ,shere schade spoke last Saturday.
We know very we'll that very little blame is
to be attached to Schade. he is poor mis-
cradle blockhead, puched forward BY American
democrats. who claim to be respectable, to
abuse his own countrymen.
1t is these respectable democrats who have
Schade in their employ, and VINO prompt him to
do the dirty jobs that he engages in, who
should be held responsible, and we mean to
hold them responsible.
Just look at it. A gentleman is announced
TO speak. He makes go indiscriminate chal
lenge-he s0lieits no debate. These respectable
Burlington democrats insist that this gentleman
shall meet in debate, and on terms Of equality.
any knave or driveller that they may designate;
and they demand ;his as q matter of right
Who ever heard Of such thing before. They
tnink that because Mr. Rusch is sDutchmon"
rights as gentleman. Finding themselves mis-.
taken in this, they attempt to disturb his meet
ing by changing their place of speaking, with
their bon6res and noises, to the vicinity Of has
place of speaking.
Let the indignation that the proceedings Of
Saturday night connot fail to arouse in the
mind Of every independent man in the city not
expend itself on the poor dolt Schade. Let the
prominent Democrats Of this city, who hired
him and prompted his conduct, be held respon.
sble for it.

KIRKwOoD AND THE "BEAsrs."-The War

At mystifying the truth when it will not other
wise subserve the interests of Democracy. re-
Gently got of the following complicated yarn,
which will amuse the simple and confound the

D, Vor FARMER!-It 10 said that Kirk wood,
just before leaving home for his present tramp
through the "hary nation, !" determined to give
his neighbors \ specimen Of his agricultural
skill. To this end, he had pair of oxen yoked
to a wagon, and plunged into the forest" for
load Of wool He had proceeded but few
huadred yards, when his team became obstre>
per Gus, refusing to pull straight, and inclining
their heads towards each other, and their hind
parts outward. To remedy this difficulty, be
tiel their tails together, and then went on his
way rejoicing. On returning with his load, he
unyoked the oxen, and the first thing he knew
the infu.iated animals had torn their tails out
by the roos!"
Our neighbor, the ZeituDg. which is good at
figures, offers the plausible Interpretation of the
above: The two oxen tipfy the great leaders
of the Democracy-the one Buchanan-the
other Douglas. The tails Ia most beautiful and
appropriate 6sure) represens the pet measures
of each-one being I" Lecompton," and the
other "Squatier Sovereignty" The tying Of
these tails together in knot il the application
Of the English bill. the immediate effect Of
which was that the tails we're plucksd out by
the roots, leaving their owners exposed to insult

L. Ewing, Capt John Rhodes, in crossing the
Upper Rapids, Upper Aississippi) on last Sun
day afternoon, struck a rock, which knocked q
hole in her hull and sent the boat to the bottom

the Ewing will be afoat again in day or two,
AS ste can Goub;!ess be raised without difficulty
