ANOTHER CHANCE FOR FUsIoN.-Ih New
York Abolitionists are very severe on the
Republican party, and, in recent address to
the people, say that, of al the factions engaged
in the Presidential contest, "the Republican
is the most thoroughly senseless, baseless,
aimless, inconsistent and insincere. 1t has
no constitutional principles to stand upon
and it lives up to no moral ones" Of Mr..
Seward, the Abolitionists speak as shameless
man, ard say that his deliberate heartless-
ness toward the negro "is so monstrous as
to be disgusting;;" and, in conclusion, they
declare that the great object to be obtained at
the coming election is 'to procure the defeat
of the Republicans" Here is chance for
the Douglas s-Know-Nothing party of New
York to effect another fusion "to procure the
defeat of the Republicans They should by
all means have man or two of this Abolition
party on their ticket.

INTEREST ON TAXES The District Judge,
of Dubuque, has decided that interest cannot
be collected on delinquent taxes, except at
the rate Of l per cent a month, since the
adoption Of the new law. The repeal of the
old law, without making @ provision in the
new for the collection of interest due on
taxes, releases the tax payer from the % per
cent interest imposed by the former. Such
is the decision, but the case will at once be
taken to the Supreme Court, ut the argument

believed that the Dubuque decision will be
promptly reversed. If the decision Is sustain

Poor LITTLE DUO We published dis
patch in our last det Hing how the travelling
candidate for the Presidency tried to make a
speech at Cincinnati, but couldn't, on account
of his voice failing. To show how ridiculous
the Little Giant is making himself, we copy
the following from the Cleveland Herald,
concerning his appearance in that city, on
the 22d inst:
" We had heard him when his voice rang
out clear and commanding but his enunciation
on the stand, on Saturday last, was two
hours spasmodic bark laborious to himself
and painful! to those who in vain attempted
to catch his words. No term expresses the
sound Of his voice as well as the word bark ::
and the monotony OF those barks, to those
only few feet from him, was too painful 20
DC born. Hence, excepting few hundred,
close up under the stands front, his audience
were constantly changing, for, after the curl
osity Of sight at Mr.. Douglas was gratified,
there was nothing more to stay for, Us four
words out of five, to those twenty feet removed
from him, we're inaudible. We trust Mr..
Douglas will not attribute the restlessness of
his auditory to lack Of good manners, but to
the true cause, an utter inability to catch his
words. By his side was plate of lemons,
and, every sentence or two, he would con-
vulsively clutch and squeeze one, swallowing
the juice, so as to keep open feeble passage
from his lungs. The Presidency, even if 1t
were insured to him in November, is no
compensation for the physical wear and tear
he is suffering"
Poor Little Dug! he's barking up the
wrong tree," this time.

For the Journal

In the severe straig to which the
Douglas party is now reduced each member
is required to show his devotion to party
interests with all .the intellectual powers
with which he is endowed The editor of
the Recieao seems to have met this demand
OF his party exactly, being precisely adapted
to his position. In declaring the prominent
leaders of the Republican party in this State
to be demagogues, liars, and half,witted,
no one supposes him to be ignorant of the
true character of the men upon whom he
bestows these epithets. All Republicans
will grant him the charity Of believing that
he is jealous lest the power of the Demo>
cratic party shall be shaken that has 50 long
usurped over the ignorant ''hewers of wood
and drawers of water" of which class so
large portion Of its members is composed
He chooses rather to defame pure and
patriotic men than to answer their argu-
ments. 1t is an easy thing for a man who
has never learned that lying is vice both
mean and contemplate to call James w
Grimes by names that properly belong to no
decent man, and to charge Abraham Lincoln
with the advocacy of principles that he
| never professed. -
The Republicans did not expect that the
Reriew would trouble them with much civ
ility or good manners, but they had a right
to expect that in first class daily" there
! would be many things worthy of consdera
ton and perhaps respect 1t is really a seri
Gus matter. this ignoring the ninth command

should have had the manliness to have ac

be weighty lolitical reasons in the iudse

course that have not yet transpired. After
all the boastng about a first class Demo
cratic paper, we certainly regret to see Sc
poor an apology. Its style is even worse

JOHN BELL AND THE SLAVE CoDE.-It has
already been mentioned in our columns that
John Bell, of Tennessee, is in favor of pro-
lection to slavery in the Territories. On this
subject, the Louisville Journal in a recent
number, says: ..-.
'Some of the Yancey- Breckenridge organs
in Kentucky are putting themselves to the
very unnecessary trouble of proving that the
Opposition Of the State maintained the doc
trine of intervention for protection. Why,
bless their shallow souls, not ole of us has
ever dreamed of denying this. We all cheer
fully admit it to the utmost We do not by
any means object to Mr.. Breckinridge that he
is in favor of the doctrine cf intervention, for
John Bell is in .tapor Of that doctrine, and zoe
oursetoes are in tavor Of it,"
We suppose that paper of the Louisville
Journals standing would not make such a
statement without full authority. What,
then, becomes of the candor of the no platform
policy?
