days, when it was eapsized. and before they
could get her righted two men were tIevoured NV
sharks. by this misfortune they lost all their

The ricketty concern, still called the Dem
oorasis party, since it fell under the guidance
Of Douglas, has been run by the power OF
humbug; but the only success to which II can
point, during the six years Of his engineer
ing, 10 the triumphant election OF James Blu.
ohanan President of the United States
Douglas's grand humbug destroyed the De
mocrAcy in nine-tenths OF the Northern
States, caused it's overthrow in the House OF
Representatives, left the Senate with scarcely
corporals guard from tho North, and
finally burst the Democracy wide open At
Baltimore and ahivered il into fragments all
over the country.
Last winter another little pet humbuE was
scared up in Congress, and for forty days or
more perfect "tempest in teapot" was
witnessed over the Congressional endorse
ment of the Helper book. That humbug
storm of slsveholding thunder and lightning
Was raised to prevent the election OF Re-
publican Speaker. But this pet humbug had
no better success than the grand squstter
panaoea Of Douglas. A Republican Speaker
sDas elected, and that, too, by the aid Of
Southern votes. And yet, the poor, demon
allied doughfaees Of the North hope to pre-
vent the election OF candidates for Congress,
by holding up the endorsement Of the Helper
Crisis, to brighten voters out OF their princi-
Piles and from their propriety and common
sense.
All We have TO say on that subject is, that
the Compend Of the Crisis, which Was COM
mended to public consideration BY many
members of Congress, and which has been
generally Disseminated, does not contain the
very Objectionable sentiments frequently quo
ted from the original book. Besides, many
OF the members commended the book to the
public simply from q general statement oil
