THE DEn0raarsC DOCTORS.

When q msn is III, bis good-natured friends
not only pity but prescribe. They do not con-
rent Themselves With calling and condoliDg, but
each recommends pct pill or some private
iincture. Why don't ioratio Seymour, and
John Van Buren,, aud Richard OGormap. stop
abusing the Republicans, and. seeing whit
straits the body polite ia in, tsa us what we
.oall take Take us" is oil the answer we
can get. A" swallow Seymour and you viii

speak without figure, Democratic victory

John Van Buren, Under these circumstances,
We find Quack doctor, who at present il in

says Tie Heroid, 4" to which Seymour Las
pledged himself is 10 carry on the war yeor-
ogsy IN tia field, without any interference
with the domestic Institutions of the rebellious
States This is The old doctrine Of fighting
without hurting anybody except yourself
Who ever before from the days Of Moses
10 lhe days Of Mcclellan, heard it pro-
posed 10 carry OF var, without in.
terlcring with :" the domestic ip.tilations' Of
tue enemy1 Stables are "domestlc ius.isa.
tons" as well Or sablcs; and yet, as Mr.
Mcclure assures Us, when Gen. Stuart paid
visit tie other day 10 ChamberSbGrg, Pa,
although he conducted himself after that fashion
which mariners call "bloody politefll, he did
not hesitate TO carry OFF about eight hundred
horses-not in the least, the reader will be
astonishod to hear, regarding the Constitution
of the United States The Cumberland Valley
Railroad is ga domestic institution" Yet
Stuagt's men injured it, by damage and robbery,
to the extent Of 100000. Mr.. McClures
fence was ga domestic institution" but the
paliDg was nevertheless pulled off to boil the
Rebel camp.kettlcs withal. That is the way
our "dCmestc Institutions" fare. -Four legs
are fatal. Bat when our cavalry make little
raids, if we find that the "domestic lDs,itu-
tons" Of the enemy have two legs and not
four, then, in the Dane Of the Constitution we
must religiously abstairf from interfering with
one single domestic institution !" This
may be Constitutional doctrine, but, if 30,
i, is not, practically a very profitable one.
DR.. Seymour and the rest Of bis college tell us
that they are for "a vigorous prosecution Of
the war;" but the moment the Administration
exhibits I'm energy akin to that OF Gen. Stuart
in carrying off the Pennsylvania horses, our
good Doctor discovers that such course Il
fatal to the Consultation Why, Doctor, war
waged in earnest is, and bus been sihce the
creation, waged against " domestic institr-
tons" in pluost all instances OF a far higher
value than pretended property ia man. When

and cruel only TO ourselves. We are 10 fight
