Intervention.
The New York Express, Opposition

The New York Express, (Opposition,)
takes the following view Of intervention:
"In this matter Of interyentioh In the
Territories the ultrnists of North and South
both agree. All Of them say--the Will
mot provisoists Of the North, we must in
tcrvene to estop slavery, and the Wilmot
provisoists of the South, we must inter-
vene to extend. Both agree upon the fact,
that it is q negro mans government, not
the white mans, and that it is the duty
of Congress to spend about all its time to
fanciful legislation upon the negro.
Fortunately for the country, there is q
"hgher law" South, as well rs North, for
all the ultraists, which scatters these res.
olutions' as the wind scatters chat, and
that law is free labor, where slave labor
wont pay, and slave labor where free labor
can't live in the fields. No resolution oil
Mr.. Davis can legislate slavery into Daco
tab, Chippewa, or Washington Territories
and no resolutions can keep it out of Cen
trail America, if the United States itse1
ever gets there or out of Cuba, if Cuba is
ever annexed to the United States.
Squatter sovereignty, we admit, is a very
miserable theory, and consequently, quite
an untenable one, but it is the law OF the
pioneer, of the rifle, and the forest cutter
of the pillow and harrow, and if Senator
Douglas is all wrong in theory, he is al
right in fact. Congress itself is not poten
though to abolish slavery in land of cot
| ton and sugar, or to establish it in lane
of ice and granite. The axe of the squat
ter" if not the rifle" is the law o
the land Of the frontier. Hence, VIII,

What did the Democratic Party
die OFF

The Journals of the country are holding
q post-mortem examination over the DEM
ocratic party. All sorts Of opinions are
expressed as 10 the cause Of Its DEATH
The verdict Of the majority appears to be,
"died of Douglas" One journal, howev-
er, thinks that it died Of the nineteenth
century another says it died of old age
and general imbecility. A very religious
journal suggests that it died Of q visitation
of God-for its manifold sins. A Yankee
says the Little Giant sat on it, and kill
ed it," A wag insinuates that it tumbled
off the platform and broke its neck. A
Southerner says Il was strangled while
trying to swallow Squatter Sovereignty. A
Northerner declares that its insides were
burnt out by an injudicious attempt at fire.

Scott Decision. A delegate to Charleston
says it became insolvent, owing to the
hotel extortions ofthat city, and conclud-
ed to commit suicide. Another delegate
says il went to Charleston with the motto

get Douglas, it had to "kick the bucket

The CHICAGO ZouAvEs.-The editor Of
the Cleveland Leader, who saw the Chica.
20 Zouaves drill, thus describes them:
The Zouave cadets rumber some eigh-
ty young men of Chicago, and their drill
is rapid and perfect. No one can witness
it and longer wonder that the Austrans
could not stand the terrible Zouayes. -
The cadets are not large in stature, but
athletes in agility and strength, moving
at the word of command with the quick
ness and precision of steam men. The
Zouaves' quickstep march and trot excite
admiration and surprise and their une-
qualled manual exercise and 'skirmishing
"bring down the house." They fall pros
trate in open ranks, fire, load while lying
on their backs, leap forward, fail. fire, and
reload with the precision of usually drill
ed soldiers standing erect. Their charge
of bayonets under the Zouaye yell is ire
sistibly terrific. They wear the regular
Zouave uniforms, and present neat as
we'll as unique military appearance.

about squeezing the widow, which made the
widower angry, and he thus replied 81
squeezed your wife before you ever did,
and the only difference | could see between
the widow and her was, that while your
wife leaned ny to me like sick kitten to
hot brick, as though she loved it, the widow
squirmed little and squealed." This was
the signal for fight, which continued for
some time. and until some passers by seper-
ated them. The parties are now at law.

Washington Items.

Hon. Schuyler Colfax occasioned vonsid-
Gratis in Congress on Friday last, in his
expose of a circular that has been going the
rounds for signatures The circular origin
ated with Mcqueen, of S. c., an avowed
disrInionist, and pledged its signers TO a re-
sistance of the plurality rule, even though a
majority of the members desired its adop-
ton.
1t was supposed in Washington on the
Goth that the plurality rule would have
been carried yesterday, a Mr.. Woodson of
Mo-, having signified his intention to move
its adoption. The pressure on the Post
Office Department is heavy, and can not be
withstood much longer. The correspondent
of the Cincinnati Gazette gives the follow
ing account of how the case stands:
Four million dollars worth of scrip have
been issued by the Post office Department,
in three thousand pieces. The amount due
TO mail contractors on the lst of january,
1860, was nine and a half million dollars,
being nearly the whole amount due for
postal service for the year ending Dec. 3lst,
1859.
The postage of first six months were alb
soroed in paying the Deficiencies to Dee
3lst, 1859.
Since June 39th, 1859, the Postmaster
General has been unable to use even the
EARNINGS of the Department, to meet its IL
abilities, and the difficulty will continue un-
! til Congress organizes and obviates it. 1t j;
! asserted that one man has taken post Office
scrip to the amount of two millions at 81
per cent.
