There is recorded in Scripture an &C.
count Of an extraordinary delivery Of
twins. which has met parallel in our
day and generation, The Scripture &C.
count may be found in the Book Of Gen.
esis +; but the late affair will be found re-
corded in the Book of Exodus Of the
Democracy. 1t will read something az
ter this style:
l. And Democracy entreated the Con-
vention for his party, for she was become
barren. And the Convention was entrea-
ted Of him. and his party conceived.
Q. And the children struggled togeth-
er within her; and she said. If il be so,
why am / thus? And she went to in
quire of the Convention.
s. And the Convention said unto her.
Two factions are in thy womb, and two
manner of people shall be separated from
thy bowels and the one people shall be
stronger than the other people; and the
elder shall serve the younger.
AZ And when her days to be delivered
were fulfilled. behold there were twins in
her womb.
S. And the FIRST came out scaly al
over ike a fishy animal and they called
his name Douglas.
6. And after that came the other ont,
and got Douglas by the heels. and they
called his name Breckenridge. And De
mocrscy was nigh unto two score year.
old when his party bore them.
7. And the boys grew and Douglas
was . cunning Office hunter. . man of the
stump; and Breckinridgs was 8 plair
spoken man. dwelling in the Senate.
8. And the North loved Douglas. be
cause it did drink of his liquor; but thu
South loved Breckinridge.
9. q And Breckenridge dispensed
public pap and Douglas came from tn
stump. and was faint.
10. And Douglas said to Breckenridge
Feed me, l pray thee. with that same pub
lie pap, for l am faint; therefore hi
name was called Doughface.
IL. And Breckinridgs said, Sell M
this day thy principles.
II. And Douglas said, Behold. l an
at the point to go under; and what prof
it shall these principles do to me?
Is. And Breckenridge said. Swear t.
me this day; and he swore unto him
and he sold his principles unto Brsckin
ridge.
IA. Theu Breckenridge gave Dougla
pep and Office Of the lcavings land h
did take his GIL. and went on his way re

E The Democratic papers have &
horrible story about Black Republican
boot merchant in St. Louis. It sppeart
that a certain large STAKEHOLDER in Nilsson
ri owed him q considerable sum Of mon
ey. The STAKEHOLDER had passed through
st. Louis on his way South. to sell bis
niggers and the merchant feared that
there was something ont Of the way,
particularly as the man had avoided him
while in St. Louis. So he sent IN officer
after the niger dealer. who was over.
hauled at Memphis. where suit was in
stituted, and one of the niggers sold BY
the Sheriff to pay the debt. This niger
selling Is the horrible part Of the story,
The Black Republican merchant ought to
have been ashamed to so violate the ten
der feelings Of Slave trader and the
Democratic party. BY taking steps which
would lead to the selling Of . Niger.

False REPoRT.-We understand that
tbe report has been circulated in some
neighborhoods, that the citizens of this
place advertised . free dinner for the
Fourth, and that when the people came.
there was not enough for them, and they
were charged one dollar each. 1t would
seem hardly necessary to take the trouble
10 contradict such report. There was
no dinner advertised at all but q free
dinner. contributed BY the citizens, was
gotten up for the Sunday School Sehol-
Grs. Several hundred persons were pres
ent who brought no provisions. After
the children had eaten. others were psr-
uitted to go up and eat what there was.
but as . matter Of course there was not
enough. But no one was required to pay
scopper for what he ate. no one did pay
anything. and if any one had offered to
pay, il would have been refused.

WHAr TaxY HAVE ACCOMPLISHED

War They HAVE ACCOMPLISHED
The Democracy 10 Congress, during the
past session. have certainly done all in
their power TO merit the excavations ofev
-sry honest man. To their internal dis
ssusions they have added" q long list OF
miserable acts. which will assist in arou-
sing the people to a true understanding
Of the failings and corruptions Of the
Democratic party. and give them renew
cd zeal in the work Of consigning it to
The doom which surely awaits it.
They have refused to pass the tariff bill.
which will render their success hopeless
IN Pennsylvania. and wherever there are
manufacturing and industrial interest suf-
Fsring for protection.
They have defeated q Homestead. aud
thereby merited the condemnation Of
poor lsboring men. whom they have re-
fused homes.
They have needlessly deferred measures
towards building Pacific Railroad, and
forfeited the good will Of every friend Of
the Great West, and every one interested
in Railroad communication with the Pa
ei6c States.
They have refused to admit Kansas as
State, with Q Constitution fairly rati-
fed BY her people. because she preferred
Freedom to Slavery. an have thereby
lost all claim to the support Of freemen
and hstsrs of tyranny and wrong.
They have spent their time in endesv.
oring to fssten q crime upon and oppo-
sing political party. and at the same time
used every appliance to smother investi-
CATION into the official corruptions Of
their OWE party. and have thus forfeited
the respect and confidence Of honorable
men everywhere.
These are but few and the greatest Of
their crimes. We might add largely tc
the catalogue Of their sins Of omission
and commission but the people are suf
iciently awakened to the truth, and th'
wheels of revolution are in motion. They
will never stop until the prceent corrupt
party is deprived Of the control of ouI
Government.

PoLrrIcAL.-The Assessors, who are

the politics of every man in the County.
There are q very large number Of Bell

come, almost to a man, from those who
have heretofore been voting the Demo

there have been scarcely anything but

there is amaiority for Bell. The Dem

A BAD Ssr.-0f late years, one of the
most serious charges brought against can
didatss Of the Republican party has been,
that. when they were members Of the
Wing party. they were guilty Of betrsy-
ing and defeating Henry Clay. This has
been urged against Seward. is now being
urged most persevsringly against LincOn.
and has been urged against score of 9TH
or men. For this reason the friends OF
Clay are told they must not vote for these
old Wing warriors and Clay partisans.
but must vote the Democratic ticket
What q shame it is, that while the devo-
ted Democrats were using every earthly
means to elect Henry Clay to the Presi.
dency, these Wing traitors took up and
elected over him, such men as Jackson
and Polk!

DOUGLAS DocrRINE.-The following is
the substance of q speech made in the
Baltimore Convention. BY Mr.. Gouldenr

Douglas. We presume. when Douglas
goes down South, he will substantistc
the words of his friend Goulden. Hu.
man beings, read:
He declared himself an African slave
trade man. He believed the African
slave trade to have done more for the
human race than any other thing. he
called Virginia . slave breeding State,
which offended q Virginian, whereupon
be declared himself slave breeder. and
gloried in Il. He had as many niggers
as any man from Georgia. On his plan.
tation were . lot of babies, as 6ne as
could be found anywhere. He recon-
mended non-intervention everywhere
The General Government should take its
hands of. and let them get slaves from
Africa. If it was right for him to get .
niger from Virginia at $4,000, it was
right to go to Africa and get one for $50.
