The Douglas Demonstration.

We think that those who saw the turn
out last night, must be satisfied that there
are Douglas men hereabouts, and that they
are alive and kicking. The other parties
may have a great many voters delicately
done up and luxuriously slowed away, but
none, nor all of them, can make such turn
out in public. The torch-lights were num-
bered by thousands. Compared with it, the
Breckinridge party was like patience on a
monument. The Breckenridge organ throws
a little cold water, by saying that it is as
sured that "a levy was made on all the Bell
lanterns in the city, and that they were car
ried by Bell men and boys" This may be
so, but the prevailing features and accent
were Hibernian, and if the American Spread
Eagle, which but few years ago was so
fierce and proscriptive, has smoothed his
ruffled plumage and affiliated with the Hi
bernian lamb, it is gratifying evidence of
the progress of fraternal feeling, and of the
wonderful virtue Of politics in making be d.

The Prince.

We understand that the programme for
the reception of the Prince has been salts
faetorily arranged. The Mayor has given
his undivided attention to it, and has for q
day or two shown symptoms of sense of
uncommon responsibility. The entire police
force have been ordered to appear in clean
shirts and in the best coats they can muster
or borrow, at the depot, at half-past nine
o'clock tonight, to receive the Prince and
keep the people straight. The city will be
left to the care of Providence for the night,
as it is supposed that "such divinity doth
hedge Prince, that no harm will be allowed
to befall city in which he is lodged. The
arrangement is said to include ride through
the principal streets, accompanied by the
Mayor. The Committee Of Reception at the
Opera-house Ball was announced yesterday,
and is such as to satisfy the most tender con-
science on that head.
The responsible editor of the Gazette has
decided that it is not snobbish to rush to
church on Sunday to see the Prince. 1t was
the irresponsible editor that said it was
The responsible editor says he is going him
SELF This makes it all right though at first
thought to the unregenerate, rushing to
church for Sightseeing would seem about
as proper as opening a circus with prayer.
The Commercial feels the same for the peo-
pie in this emergency, that Mr.. Titmouse
felt for himself when he was invited to dine
with the Duke-an anxiety lest they will not
feel a due sense of the Importance of the
event, and that we shall be duly thankful.

press. Its effects may be. seen in this city,
where, under the regular practice of the most
superlative puffery, the receipts of theaters
have regularly declined, and in particular
eases the excessive eulogy has marked the
most rapid decline. 1t is the strife for this
job printing that has expanded the Cincin-
natl theatrical notices into system of in
discriminate puffery. Managers suppose this
vital to their success, and succumb TO the
threat implied by the demand, "The whole
or none.' And if it is divided between diff
ierent offices, it begets putting competition
This it is that newspapers desire to suppress
by combined action. The mere free-list any
of them can drop at any time without incon.
venience. To drop the free-list, and keeT
up the job puffery, would be the shallowest
affectation of impartiality.
