Squattcrite Principles.

-, ( REcEsr creuts. IN New York and else
where, have signally illustrated the fidelity
with which the supporters of Douglas ad-
here to their principles. They profess to be
Democrats. Indeed, they claim to be the
only Irregular" Democracy; but while they
strenuously assert this claim, they admit that
the supporters of Breckenridge are Demo
Gratis also, between whom and themselves no
difference Of principle exists, except upon
the isolated question Of slavery in the Terri
tories. Between the pouglasites, however,
and the adherents of Bell, ON the otlrer hand
there is not only not single political prin.
ciple that is held in common, but an immc-
mortal and traditional hostility has existed,
based upon a direct and irrecOncilable con-
fict between every distinctive doctrine of
their respective political creeds.
Under these circumstances, one would
naturally have expected that the friends Of
Mr.. Douglas, when they became aware Of the
fact that he could not be, elected, would, as
honest men and sincere patriots, who believed
that the best interests Of the country were
involved in the maintenance Of the princi-
pies they have professed, surrender the single
impracticable dogma which alone distinguish
ed them from the great mass of their Demo
cratic brotherhood, and cordially unite with
these latter in common effort to defeat the
Black Republicans. In doing this, they would
have made no sacrifice Of principle, save only
upon one solitary point, while, upon every
other they would have been in entire har-
mony with their fellow-workers; and, by lay
ing this small sacrifice upon the altar Of their
country's good, it has never been doubtful
that they might have ensured the triumph of
Democratic principles.
Instead of pursuing this course, however,
the Douglas men of New. York have, in ef-
feet, by their coalition with the supporters of
Bell, admitted that they are not actuated by
principle. The friends Of Bell are not less
strongly committed against the heresy of
squatter sovereignty than are those Of Mr..
Breckenridge. Upon that point, therefore,
the recent "fusion" cannot have taken place,
and the Douglas men might just as readily
have fused with Breekinridge Democrats.
Upon every other point, as we have already
observed, a hereditary state Of warfare exists
between the parties to the fusion; and the
fusion itself is but a hollow truce, whereby
active hostilities between them are merely
suspended for temporary purpose. No sane
man, of whom we have ever heard, processes
to believe that the chances of MIR. Douglas
for the Presidency are at all improved through
this shameless bargain Of his friends. We
have not the slightest idea that they even
hope for his election, or that bis success was
the end which they proposed to themselves
when they ''traded off, their principles
They saw that Douglas was doomed, and
their only remaining thought was for venee-
asee upon that Democratic party which
would not submit to his dictation. To de-
feat that party, even though such defeat in
wolves the success of Bell or Lincoln. seems
now to be their only care.

''IiEaRrs were made to be betrayed"
o Sol heard maiden say, .rr5.-.
In the evening sadly singing, .l
While around the roses springing.
Blossomed meath the feet of May.
"Hearts were made for love- she said;
H "Love, an me! has left me now;

For my heart is closed forever

Woman's mind is like the wind,
Shifting with the changing hour.
Yesternight her vow was broken.
Do you ask me for the token,
Kisses in the vine-wreathed bower.

curiosities of Politics.

Some Layard.of the Black Republican par
ty has succeeded in disinterring from the dead
leaves of about forty ummers the original
maui with which the nnauteys of the Milo of
Illinois 'tgot out" their original rail. This
wooden-headed exponent of the principles of
the party las, to the public eye, the appear
ance of an ordinary maui, but to the wide
swakes of Connecticut, to whom it was pre-
sented with a certificate of genuine-ness, at
the Hartford Convention, it represents or SYM
bolizes the head of the Black Republican or
ganization. A select committee is at present
looking for the wedges which are supposed to
have been left in the vicinity of the maui
Meanwhile, the original rail split out by the
original Lincoln, borne with the original maui
and the primitive wedges, yet unbound, is in
the possession of the modern Milo's New York
friends, and like the original yisage of its au-
thor, is of a knotty, gnarled, and uncouth ap-
pearance. Tits said that the nig-romancers, a
club who practice the black art, on Black Re-
publican principles, in the West, have sue
ceeded' in finding an original fence made by
the heavy handed Lincoln, out of his own
rails, and that, on a close examination of the
same, there was found to be a Niger in it. 1t
is also reported that the original Jacobs has
sent Mr.. Lincoln his hat,-on the ground that
"S'help-him Solomon, two original humbugs
in the the market at once, was a little too
mosh." We cannot positively vouch for this
aneodote, and, we understand, it is rallied at
by the friends of "Honest- Abe" as a new
sham Abraham"
