EaISehOOds that Encourage the
South.

If the lies which the Cincinnati Com =
mercim and other Republican journals
which find their way into Kentucky,
Tennessee. &C., are believed in those
States, the effect there cannot be very
beneficial to the Union. The CONNER
cial is continually repeating its statement
that all Democrats who adhere to their
party organization, are Secessionists.--
Now everybody in the North who has the
wit of louise, knows this to be false in
all its length and breadth; but unfortu-
nately, ignorant men in the South may
believe it. In Ohio, and other States.
the regularly nominated democratic State
ticket will receive al least the full usual
vote cast at Governors election. In
view of this fact, it is not very wise IN
presses which honestly desire the disoour-
agement of Secession, to impress on tho
Southern mind the notion that all who
vote the democratic ticket, are secretly
in favor of the Southern Confederacy.

A rogue, when detected, or in danger
of detection, is very apt to leave for
"parts unknown, "and adopt new name.
AS party or fraction is composed of
individuals who are perpotnally changing,
cha sc Of domicil is neither practicable
nor necessary; but change of name is
often exceedingly convenient.
First, il enables the faction to shrk
its old sins. If it is charged with this
or that delinquency or this or that polit-
ical hcrcsy, and the records Of the past
produced to prove the accusation, it will
forthwith raise n question OF identity,
and seek to escape by proving an dlj6i, or
indicated. A new name. therefore, af-
fords n convenient dodge.
Again, the new name sets an effective
tray, into which to beguiIo the discon-
tented, selfish and ambitious attaches of
other parties who have been disappointed
in not getting their axes ground to order.
Such men are always glad of an excuse
for Joining new faction it matters not
upon what basis it is formed, or of what
clements it is composed.
Besides these obvious advantages, there
are othercs, that its managers feel cohdep t
will accrue to the Republican party by "A
change OF name.
One is, the chance by this means to
save its waning popularity and disguise
/ the real sentiments and aims of its most
energetic and able leaders, by loudly pro
claiming itself the Union party per Sc an |
par ercciieRce. and bitterly denouncing
all others, though there be among them
those who are shedding their blood for
the preservation of the Union, ns scccss-
ioni,ts and sympathiAcrS with rebels
Another advantage of the old party
with u new name, is that it will open n
new field of action and enterprise for the
radical and abolitionists, whose motto is
"Iiberty--Frcedom to the slave, and
Union altcrward.'
These men have been suspicious of late
that the Republican party was moving
too slowly. In fact, some of them haV,
given vent to their suspicion in pretty
strong words, securing the party, and no
sparng even the Administration. They
hope to be able to infuse little more Wig
or into the new party.
1t is true that when the idea of laying
the old rusty Republican field piec,
aside, and putting up new "maSkcC
, battery" was first broached, some of tn,
, radicals and abolitionistS who muster un
, der Giddings and his subaltcrns, were
} little Jealous lest the ammunition for tn
new ordinance Nigh have more of tn
, tncturo of conservatism in it, and woul,
, not'prove as effective as the old. But be
, coming satisfied that the new battery vii
be the same as the old thing with new
name only, and nah be used as effective
ly, and perhaps more so, to bring abou
the cxtremination of slavery, or the dis
solution of the Union, or both, they arr
willing, nay, anxious to "go in.'

The Artiiti simon.

A dispatch in the Associated Press re-
port this morning, saying that the attacks
on the Administration in the New York
journals are thought to have been nstag-
ted by the Secessionists, is one of Came
ron's finest touches. Tho Administra tion
has not been attacked The diatribes
against the management of tho War De,
partment-that means Cameron-have
been bitter, frequent, and well deserved, ,
and if they are the work Of secessioniSts
the whole country has been tam pered with,
because every man of whom we have heard
from Maine to Nebraska, utters his name
only with obiurgatious. The story won't
do Chicago Tribune.
The above from SO devoted a partisan
Republican paper as the Chicago Tribune
the paper that did more than any 9TH
er to bring Mr.. Lincoln before the conn-
try--and the multitude of similar para
graph aaoat, should convince the Admin
istration that the people mean something
and indeed are in deadly earnest, IN the
almost universal expression Of diStrust,
contempt and Indignation, at the awful
acknowledgement OF the War Department.

MIR. DOuSlaS--'Ehe Republicans

One would think the AbOlltlonlsts have
always been the fast friends Of Douglas,
to read their papers since his death. His
words are gospelto them now. Hereto
fore, all he said was the talk of a "dough-
face" a "slave.propagandist," "dema-
gogue," Il 'panderer to the slave power
traitor Arnold" The patriotic words
and doctrines of Democrats are gospel
truths to them after they are dead and out
of their way, but while they live they are
despotic and reasonable. The files OF
their Abolition papers of last fall afford
rich reading now. What hypocrisy
On the 9th day of February last only
the Ohio State Journol, now the organ of
the new Republican Union party, which
they are trying to build up upon tho pat
riotic sentiments Of Douglas, said of him :
"Senator Douglas, in letter to the
Memphis Appeat, protesting Union sem
timents, manages to express his sympathy
for the cotton State revolutionists. He
aflirms that there are Northern mer who
are trying to plunge the country into a
civil war as the surcst means of destroy
il the Union, upon the plea of enlorc-
ing the laws and protecting the public
property. There it is. The Senator has
given the authoritative declaration Of the
Northern Democratic position. The
Southern rebels are assured by THEN
Northern allies that any attempt made to
preserve the integrity of the Constitution
and enforce the laws of the government
will be looked upon by the latter as only
a pretext for wagimg civil war and de,
spelling Southern men of their rights

Non-Suiting A Creditor.

There was certain lawyer on the
Cape, sometime ago the only one in
those diggins' then, and aught !
know, at present. He was man
well to do in the world, and what was
some what surprising 10 limb of law,
averse to encouraging litigation
One day a client came to him in
terrible rage
Look here, Squire, said he, that
ere blasted shoemaker down to Pig
con Cove, has gone and sued me for
pair of boots / owed him.
Did the boots suit You p
| 20 yes-I've got them on no. =

20, yes
Then you owe him the money hon,

Why can't you pay him. p

How much money do yon want to
begin with p
O. ten dollars will do
Is that all ? Well here is an x, so
go ahead, and the client went out
very well satisfied with the beginning.
Our lawyes next called on the shoe
maker and asked him what he meant
by instituting legal proceedings against

Well, said he, / kept sending my
bill to him till | got tired. / know'd

and short of it,
| Well, said the lawyer, he's always
been good customer to yeu, and
think you acted too hastily. There's
a trife to pay on account of your pro-
ceedings-but think you'd better
/ take this fine and call it square.
4 Certain, Squire, if you say SO and
darned glad to get it, was the ans

So the lawyer forked over one v,

In few days his client came along
and asked him how he got along with

Look Before You Kick

A minister in one of our orthodox
churches, while on his way to preach
q funeral sermon in the co untry, called
TO see one of his. members, an old Wild
ow lady, who lived near the road he
was travelling The old lady had
just been making sausages, and she
felt proud of them; they were so
plump, round and sweet OF course,
she insisted on the minister taking
some of the links home to his family.
He objected on account of his not
having his portmanteau along. This
was overruled and the old lady, after
wrapping them in rag carefully
placed bundle in each pocket of the
preachers capacious coat. Thus
equipped, he started for the funeral.
While attending to the solemn cere-
monies Of the grave, some hungry
dogs scented the sausages and were
not long in tracking them to the good
mans overcoat. OF course this was q
great annoyance and he was several
times under the necessity of kicking
these whelps away. The obsequies
at the grave con ple:ed, minister and
congregation repaired to the church,
where the funeral discourse was to be
preached
After the sermon was finished, the
minister halted to make some remarks
to his congregation, when brother,
who wished to have an appointment
giver. out assembled the pulpit steps
and gave the minister's coat hitch
to get his attention. The divine,
thinking tia dog having design upon
his pocket. raised his foot, gave a
sudden kick and sent the good BROTH
er sprawling full length on the floor.
You will excuse me brethren and
sisters |" said the minister confusedly
and without looking at the work he
had done, for l could not avoid it.
I have sausage in my pocket and that
dog has been trying to grab them ever
since / came upon the premises. "
Our readers may judge of the effect
such an announcement would have at
funeral.

Pulpit Gravity.

A minister was preaching to large
congregation in one of the Southern
States, on the certainty of the future
Judgment. In the GALAXY sat a colored
girl, with white child in her arms,
which she was dancing up and down
with commendable effort, to make
baby understand the proprieties of the
place. The preacher was too much
interested in his subject to notice the
occasional noise of the infant !;
and at the right point in his discourse
threw himself into an interesting atti-
tude, as though he had suddenly heard
the first note of the trump of doom,
and looking towards that part of the
church where the girl with the baby
in her arms was sitting, he asked, in
low, deep voice:
q What is that I hear !?
Before he recovered from the ora
torical pause, SO as to answer his own
question, the colored girl responded,
in d mortified tone Of voice, but loud
enough to catch the ear of the entire
congregation
II don'no, sa, I spec it is dis here
chile but, deed, So. I has been
dom all could to keep him from
sturbin' YOU

peete rejoinder teok the tragic out Of

that judgements day sermon was not

Chapter on Circumlocution.

A day or two sirce, an unsophistca-
ted darkey waited upon certain
military gentleman with a bill of
$1.15, for washing done at the camp
hospital, which, after undergoing a
rigid scrutiny by the officer, was
returned with the following explana-
ton, which the astonished son of
Ethiopia listened to with an equal
amount of wonder and perplexity
This BILL" said the gentleman,
"will first have to be sent to the
Quartermaster- General at Washington
and he will report to the Adjutant-
General, who will lay it before the
Secretary Of War for his approval
The Adjutant being satisfied, it viii
be sent to the Auditor of State, who
will approve Of it and send it to the
Secretary of the Treasury, who will
send it to the United States Treasury,
who will at once despatch an order to
Collector of this port to pay the bill "
The darkey relieved himself Of long
drawn sigh
"Then, massa," he remarked, (" dat
last gemblam you spoke of pays for de
washing. does he !?
No." continued the other, "he will
hand it to the Quartermaster; bat as
there is no such officer here at present
some proper person must be selected
for that purpose, who must be appoint
ed by the Secretary Of War, under
directions of the President, and his
appointment must be approved by the
Senate. Congress not being in session
now, the commission cannot be issued
until after it meets. When this COM
mission is received, the Quartermas-
ter will show it to the Collector, and
demand the funds. You will then call
upon him he will examine your bill,
and if correct, he viii pay it, you Civ

Advent of the Mosquito.


Again the gaunt mosquito comes,
That brigand of the night,
With all his starving family.
To put my dreams to flight,
And try and settle his small bill
And take draft at sight
I hear again the dreadful sound
That tells me who is near,
hear him wind his horrid horn,
And wet his poisoned spear
He sounds the battle blast, and, ali
feel that he is here.
l beat the air, l seem to wage
With fiends an idle feud
My hopes, like poor 0phelia's,
Are blasted in the bud
I'm vanquished in a single round,
And he obtains first blood z
In vain the rank segar smoke.
Quite wild and desperate grown,
| try in vain to drive him out,
And shut the window down;
For still / hear those tranquil pipes
Monotonously drone
Like Cook among the Cannibals,
IT'S useless to appeal,
Or like mummy wind myself
In sheets from head to heel;
The hungry wretch has picked me out
To make himself meal
He comes by night as angels do,
To chant his soothing hymn,
He covereth DER the babies couch
Just like cherubim
By day he wadeth in the swamp,
His legs are long and slim.
Oh. bear me to some frozen waste,
Where polar tempests blow
On train oil I will gaze unmoved,
On Greenland's cliffs of snow,
And be contented to pass my days
Among the Esquimaux
