it, and not in spirit of depreciation, that
John Bell would not get five thousand
votes there.

ceased, the oscillation of the earth
continued for nearly half n minute.
Each oscillation appeared to last
nearly hall a second. The first move.

The last number Of the Springfield
Reporter bears very heavily on both
wings of the Democracy Of Living
ston-the Old War Horse, Of the
Free State and the late Samuel X
Nothing
II is now pretty sure that the
scape-grsce Snm, like a bad penny,
has turned up again in our parish,
has been actually raised from the
dead l-siDce it was the vote of his
followers which elected our present
representative. Sans whole force
turned out almost TO man. True,
they were aided by sundry David
son men-the old sinner Davidson
having, as is proved by his recent
vote for the know-nothing candi-
date for speaker, returned to his
first love.
The genuine Democracy however,
are not altogether blameless in orr
recent defeat. Not one third of them
voted at all, as is evident from the
fact that not one half Of thevoters
of the parish went to the polls. --
The genuine Democracy relied too
much upon their own known strength,
and thought that when they had
nominated their candidate, he was
thereby elected.
Indeed. the present supiBeness
of the genuine Democracy is dis
couraging, If not actually disgust
ing. With an overwhelming ma
jority on their side, they yet allow
themselves to be most miserably
whipped. In fact, their sluggish
ness is manifest in more ways than
