We expected trouble between the followers
OF Douglas and Breckinridge, and ii is but
natural that shey should quarrel; but we
confess that we were not at oil prepared to
witness such dreadful "jarso as are SPRING
ing up to disturb the harmony of the happy
family Of the title Of squatter.
The State Journal, which displays the
names Of Douglas and johnson as ito cand.
dates, 10 down on Dorr, the most ardent adj
vocate OF that ticket, in the following un-
mistakable epithets and insinuations
j. b. Dorr, the poor traitor to friends and
principle--if indeed he ever possessed either
Says the Lecomptontes are for Breckin-
ridge. He ntters what be knows to be false,
as not one single paper in Iowa which sup
ported the Lecompton policy Of Buchanan,
advocates the claims of Breckenridge.
What is more, the Democrat and News, New
Oregon Plaindealer and the Iowa State
Journal, ip an honorable and consistent
manner, are working faithfully for the regu.
lar nominees, Douglas and johnson. III
Dorr ever dares TO look back, let him turn
over bis file and see where, as late A. 1857,
be calumniated and sandered the man at
whose feet be now grovels. Let him then
count on bis fingers the pieces of gold that
bought BIN.
ORAroRY on III. v. JonNsos.--T Planfa-
tion, paper in the interest Of the non.
interventionists, thus describes the eloquence
OF Herschel v. johnson, candidate for Vice
President. He says:
"Johnsop rushed upon bis foes with the
clapgoY Of the trumpet and the flash Of the
battle-axs. Like Richard C@ur de Lion
among the scimatars Of Saladin, he strobe
on, right on, dealing his stalwars blows right
and left, and everything was borne down by
his ponderous arm. Like the sleeping lion
reused from his lair by some careless intru-
der, he spraDg upon his victims, tore their
flesh, cruncbed their bones, and beat their
bodies to jelly by hurling them against The
earth that trembled to the thunders of his
Infatuated howls. Like the mad bull Ia the
arena, he rushed upon those who prick cd
him with their spears, gored into their vitsls
tossed them into the air, and trampled them
under his feet"

You may not count the battles they have fought
The wreaths that crown them are invisible.
Yet they have fought and conquered; they
have bent
Night after night beside the couch of pain,
They have confronted scorn and death, and lent
Their blood to make the stricken whole again
They have been pilgrims to that desert shrine
Which sorrow rears III the bleak realm, Des-
pair
Oft have they struggled in that gloomy mine.
Where only dust is made the toiler's share
They have behell their sweetest hopes decay
Oft have they seen their brightest dreams de-
part;
Have seen their golden idols turned to clay,
And many bear within broken heart.
Their veiled ard mighty scars they ever bear
Those scars that lie deep-burned into the
soul,
Won where the flaming eyes of vengeance glare,
And the tumultuous fires of passion roll.
They have been victors they have conquered

Earth dreaded Hannibals could never win
They have struck down the sword Ambition

And trampled Lust and chained the hands

And anguished walls they stilo in the breast;
They say there is an Ear that hears their groans,
And in His house the weary will find rest.
Want, grief the scorn of men on them descend
They only say it Is His righteous will
With chastened spirits to that will they bend,
