| THE Louisville Journal inhumanly re-
commends the Democratic papers to publish
Just now few elaborate articles upon their
favorte proposition, that the Democratic
party is the only national party in the
country.
The Washington Constitution, speaking
of the Covode Committee, says: " In ali
the testimony taken, there is not the shadow

egg-shell is sticking about the rump of this
old Democrat.-N. Louis NepS.
