Democratic Tribulations.


Our opinion is that the illustrious clerl
of the Beef market will get very small
piece even in that event. He sees tn
writing on the wall. The Democrats hav'
used him, and they will dismiss him afte
the nomination at Charleston shall hav'
been made.

office-a fact which be does not like, bu
can't help.
"WHAr DOES IT MEAN ?'-We find il
Forney's Press Of Wednesday, a tolerably
plain declaration Of neutrality in the com
ing gubernatorial contest. 1t says that j
Mr.. Foster intends to do anything, h'
must Immediately repudiats the Admins
tration of James Buchanan. As MIR. Eos
ter can not repudiate Buchanan's inqutie'
without regulating the plank in the Rea
ding platform, it is pretty eyident that h'
can not get the support Of Mr.. Forney's
paper. The Press highly eulogizes Col
Curtin in the same article. We receive
this as new evidence that the fusion a,
Reading was not real-as We more thar
binted at the time.
Bill English's father has been appointed
Marshal of Tndiana-another reward to q
Lecompton Congressman. His appoint
ment creates great stir in that State.
The Horizon (Wisconsiu) Argus, refer,
ring to Judge Douglas, says: "There is
no Democrat iu the country, from Green
Bay to the Florida reefs, that can get up
half the enthusiasm, that will suit the
Democracy of the Northwest and the
whole Union as we'll as be, and We look
upon his nomination as certain to come.
1t must come, or tie Democrats lose The
Pesi,leat-there is no other choice-no
halfway ground"
1t is definitely settled, and can not be
changed, that the Democratic Convention
will meet at Charleston. Any transfer,
now, would involve various delegations
and individuals in large pecuDiary DANA
ges from contracts already made.
A Political RUMoR.-A rumor, which
1 am disposed to believe, after thorough
inquiry, is in circulation in this city, to the
effect that the Administration has advised
and will support the secession of the South
ern delegates from the Charleston Conven-
ton, should Douglas be nominated. 4
Cabinet Minister Is said to hare stated TO a
Distinguished Northern Democrat, two or
three days ago, that his scheme pos arran-

You need not be surprised if this projec!

Howell Cobb has withdrawn his name
from the Presidential canvass.
We believe We run no hazard whatever
in asserting that not one single free State
with the possible exception of California,
will ever vote for Congrc ssional protection
to Slavery in the Territories. And if the
Democrats of the South succeedat Charles
ton in bringing the contest to this issue,
they will have decided the result in ad-
vance-no matter who may be the candi-
dates on either side.-N Y Times
We are aware that Mr.. Buchanan ab-

CATERPILLARs With little watchful-
ness and care in searching for caterpillars'
eggs, and destroying them before the
leaves Of fruit trees put out, and before
the worms hatch, you save the trees from
injury, or greater amount of labor in
killing the worms in the nest after they
hatch, and when other work is pressing.
A little practice will enable one to detect
them On the small branches of the cherry
and apple trees. The eggs are deposited
end-wise in . little bunch around the
limb, and very iugeuiously covered with a
kind Of gum or cement to protect the en-
bryo worms from injury by the weather.
Foul CELLARs.-Passing along the
streets Of our town, almost any day, foul
and deadly atmosphere will be found to
escape from some of the cellar windows.
This proceeds from decayed vegetable mat
ter, potatoes, cabbages, turnips, &c, accu-
mulated during the winter. Imagine the
danger of disease and death to those who
live in the apartments above such fetid
atmosphere! We earnestly advise all our
citizens-and especially farmers-to look
we'll to their cellars. and have them thor
oughly cleansed and purified
