How IL Operates.
1t is amusing to observe the various ways
the brethren have of taking the drastic lit
tie dose of returns which Ne Republi-
cans administered to the divided Democracy
on Tuesday, the 9th. Some scold spitefully,
some swear, some pray and some laugh.
As specimens Of good natured resignation,
we copy the articles below. The first is
from the scholastic pen Of WLklE of the
Dubuque Herald; it is eminently philo-
sophical and consoling:
The FIxALE.--We ell, we (the Democracy
are licked, and like Lazarus-by dogs-to
borrow an idea. The smoke from the bat
tie field has lifted, and we find ourselves fat
on our backs. Although sometimes de-
grading one, the horizontal position has its
ocular enjoyments and advantages. With
his back to the earth one fronts the stars
There is in the recumbcnt attitude oppor-
tunities for the study Of astronomy not
afforded when one stands upon his hinder
ramifications. Erect, one sees only mis-
cradle little concern called Earth-upon
which Billion of Infinitesimals are crawl
ing, fighting, struggling, dying, and being
forgotten. He sees nothing permanent
he sees only mutation. Love changing to
hate, friendship to peridity, the buoyant
youth to the thin-shanked, skinny miser !;
fair women bartering the jewels of woman
hood for rank, or yellow dross yawning
graves into which the world marches and
arrays itself as feast for hideous worms /:
starvation, cruelty, Gods works travestied,
His Providence denied and burlesaued,
everywhere the good crawling YEARLY, the
bad winging their way easily.
On his back one sees none of this. To
him there is only eternal space thro' which,
forever, under the Discipline of the Deity,
whirls the ponderous batallions of the starry
hosts. To him are visible only the blue
dome of the day and the fair mysteries of
night. The glorious sunlight, the full
orbed, or crescent beauties of our silver
browed Queen, the ever beautiful harmonies
of the march of countless worlds are re.
vealed to him, and nothing more" Who
would not be on his back
Here follows characteristic paragraph
from the renowned "Brick" of the La Crosse
Daily Democrat:
HURRAn FOR OuH SIDE.-Y yesterday was
election day-that is for the Republicans
and sinncrs-Democrats didn't vote--it
wasn't their day! The wicked have tri
umphed-all the slaves are to be liberated
rails will be at a premium, slavery is to be
abolished on the 5th of March-white men
will take back seats and the rail-splitter; oh
we forgot-Mr. Lincoln will preside over
the destinies Of this country. We have
met the enemy and we are theirs. "Be mer-
ciful to us poor sinners" We went in like
lions and came out like lambs. "Oh treat
us not revengefully" We intended to scoop
hem, and they scooped us. "The people
that walked in darkness have seen great
lightr' We guess it was the Wide-Awakes
We valiantly marched up the hll-and we
can run down again "Come my beloved
let us 60 forth into the fieldsr'
We should have beaten them If they had
not beaten US. 'Oh how our people are
bent upon back-sldingr'
P. S.--We don't like to read the returns
as they come in!!

eral hundred, was addressed by several cit
liens, some urging summary proceedings,
and others milder course. While the
crowd was SO engaged, Thayer was convey
ed off and escaped. The citizens aided in
securing his escape, in consequence of the
entreaties Of bis wife and children.
The feeling is gradually widening and

THE WIFE-A TOUCHING INCIDENT
"Artemus Ward" remarks, that There is
something indiscribably beautiful in the true
wife's devotion to her husband. There is
something very awful in her grief when
death takes him away. Leaves have
their time to FALL" but death comes irregu
larlyand relentlcssly. We recently heard a
most touching instance Of the resignation
of an affectionate woman at the funeral !, {
her husband. Though she had admired
him, she did not repine At this dark hour.
Looking at the remains Of her loved and
lost husband for the last time, she put on
her bonnet and thus spoke to the gentleman
whose duty it was to otficiate as pail bear
ers: "You pail bearers, just 60 into Il .
battery and get some rum, and we'u start
this man right along?"

Hobby Horses, Again.

THREE weeks ago, in brief chapter on hob
by horses" we venturcd the prediction that
some of the candidates for county Offices would
be apt to discover, after the October election,
that they had been anything but fortunate in
the selection of the hobbies they bestrode during
the canvass. The result has not disappointed
us.
There has been somevery singular riding done
by the polite horsemen who have lately been
engaged in that hunt for Office which was brought
to a close on the LIST instant Some Of those
who, when the race began, were astride Of the
'BelT' nag. put themselves to deal Of trouble
to get mounted, hobby-horse and all upon the
Douglas pony and, in like manner, the
Douglas" equestrians displayed an equally
strong desire to spring with their short-legged
little steed, upon the back Of the Rozinante that
bore the "BelI' riders in the contest We can
not say, however, that any marked success at
tended these rather unusual proceedings In
deed, VIC believe that neither animal ran any the
better for the additional weight that he was thus
compelled to carry. To tell the truth, they were

and their riders, Of course, are '1eft lamenting"
One reverend candidate, however was the
victim Of unCOmmonly bad luck He is sup
posed to have thought there was something in
the remark made by the Irishman, Who travel
ing with a cOuntryman, asked how far il was to
the next town, and, being answered ten miles"
exclaimed, ''Come along. Pat it's only five
miles apiece" Brother C., reasoning in tie
same manner, fully believed no doubt that &c
be could expedite his progress in the popular a.
vor BY riding one hobby horse, he might sccei-
crate his speed % any desired extont BY the SIM
pie operation Of multiplying his hobby horses !;
not imagining that II would be any more difficult
for him to ride several different horses at the

men to do the same thing in . circus He there

Munchau.en Rediyiyus.

We have heretofore referred to knight Of
the long-bow, who, writing over the sigma
ture Of Cleveland" is the special telegraph
ic correspondent OF the Cincinnati Engui-
rer, and whose mendacious outgivings are
regularly re-publshed in the Memphis Ap-
peal, without word of dissent or doubt on
the part Of the editors of that paper. We
find, in the partisan press Of the day,
throughout the country, recklcssness Of as
scrtion which cannot be too severely repre-
hended; but nowhere else, in all our news
paper reading, have we met with such utter.
shameless, Wholesale f,lschood as, for months
past, has distinguished every dispatch Of
cleveland" that has fallen under our obscr-
walton. Evidently enough, he is a manufac-
turcr Of news. Restrained by no considcra-
tons Of honesty or principle, he invents and
puts forth such tales as, in his judgment, the
exigencies Of the Douglas cause may require
at the moment; and it is obvious that he
believes the American people are asses, and
that one 'bouncer" will answer as we'll rs
another, lift is only asserted roun'ly enough,
for the purpose Of misleading them. He,
therefore, so continually outrages all proba-
bility, that, as VIC believe, no sane men read
his pcrformanccs-excepting, Of course, the
editors Of the Appeal, whose swallows" are
of unlimited capacity-without seeing and
knowing that he is tclling--anything but
the truth. II

Mr.. Stephens, Of jackson, Tenn, in his
speech at this place on the 2sth ultimo, de-
claned that 1.-THE difference between the sup
porters Of Breckinridge and Bell, was about
this---the former were for the Union with a
provisc, whilst the latter were Union men
without qualification" That is just what
we have heen saying all the time, though we
hardly thought we would have met with =
Bellite manly enough TO confess to its truth.
1t was in this "Union without qualification"
spirit-that Mr.. Neil s. Brown uttered, in the
Convention which nominated Bell and Ev-
erett, the ominous sentence, that he "would
not give up the Union Of these States for all
the negroes and all the manufactures, for all
the railroads and all the ships that sail the
ocean," ~Union without qualification" may
be very good doctrine in Tennessee, but it
viii not do in Mississippi, among the men
who made the resolutions Of the Convention
Of 1851. "Union without qualification" in
deed! 1t is the prevalence Of such senti-
ments in the South, which emboldens the
North to advance in her wrong doing and
impudent audacity. A South, united in de-
handing her rights, would exert "a moral
power of coercion upon the North, that
would soon bring the fanatic hordes Of the
free States TO their senses. This "Union
without qualification" sentiment operates to
prevent such cooperation of Southerners,
and, therefore, works evident harm to the
South.

ct length IN the spring Of 1850, they effected .

their cAndidats for ths Presidency:
This new party evidently supposed, in 1860,
that it had learned wis1em from the lessons Of
diversity which 4 received In 1856. Instead Of
asczibing its utter defeat in 4hs latter year, to
DE true cause-its attempt b ignore the slavery
quesdon-it was infatuated with the belief that
. stronger infusion Of non -committalism into its
political creed would have suiieed to insure sue
cess and, accordingly, instead of placing their
candidate upon platform which while il .'ex-
pressly pretsrnittsd any expression Of opinion
upon the question Of slavery" contained, never
theless, positive and tangible expressions Of
opinion npon other questions Of gest moment
as they did in 1856, they erected, under the name
ola platform, that unmeaning form Of words
1.-THE Union, the Constitution, and the enforce
ment Of the laws"-with the deliberate and set.
tied purpose thereby to 'pretermit" BY impiics-
ton, an expression Of opinion upon any and ev.
cry political question Of the day. They affirm
nothing: they deny nothing. They desire to
become AL things to all men," in order that
they may obtain more votes and herein, as we
have before remarked, they are but carrying out
their Evolutionary and immemoriai system Of

Consistency among themselves Is not SO much
