observation-disclosures. <
 Mr. w. W. Eaton, the self-selected leader oi the . Democratic party" in this state, and tha satbor ofthe platform upon which that party vent into the last campaign and came ou, whipped. has been airing his sentim euts in tho House of Representatives on the subject of ,is !" political ffisnd' and brother, Clement L valIaadigham. lately transfsrred to sacred soil We give copious extracts from Mir. Eaton's spssch. in our report of the legislative doings that our readers may have the full benefit of a knowledge of Mr. Eaton's opinions at this time 1t will be perceived that they have not been essentially changed since he issued the written pronuncismsnto, to which his party subscribed, ct the Hartford Convention. And. further, i've observe, that thess sentiments were received with applause" "-of course from that side of the house which owns MT. Eaton as it's mouth piecs and .exemplar.
 <, Are we to believe then, that these fulmiua- -tions of this inflated pretender represent the real ssntiments.o of the democratic party of this Statef Have the great masses fallen so low that they can applaud these villainous senti- ,msnts snunciatsd by the representative from Hartford? Do the men of high standing in the State. who still cling to the name of dem ocrscy." endorse these utterances of treason which fell thick and fast from the lips of this leader" of the democratic minority of the House of Representatives We do not be- leve it. Such sentiments fall easily from the man who said.two years ago,,hat ten thousand men would assemble in our State Capitol to prevent Massachusetts men from marching through this state to protect the Capitol of their country-from the man who threatened and c0unseIled resistance to the law of the land less than Q year ago-from the man who penned the Hartford resolutions but such sentiments can only command the assent of meagre mi- nority of those for whom he essays to speak. There is but one step between such utterances snd.open. undisguised hostility to the govern ment, and treason to the state. and that step Mr. Eaton may be prepared to take, but no party in this state as yet is prepared to follow.
 Mr. Eaton represents triumviri in this State-the other two members of which are T. B. Seymour and Isaac Toucey. This brother. hood is now stretching out to other states for sympathisers. and it easily aiiliates with a Fernando Wood, James Brooks and Val landisham. It might go further. and scould go further if it dared. and take in Jeff Davis Tocmbs and Yancey. Among all these, in fu- turs times. If history takes notice of the small tsaiton as we'll as the great. Eaton's name will not be forgotten.
 ltis unfortunate, however, for the loyal men of the democratic party, that they must be cor pelled to endure the stigma which an utilization with such men indellibly afixes upon them Loyal men learn to distrust even those in whom they would have every reason to reposs conf dsncs. when they find them represented in the halIs sf legislation and through their chosen or gans of the Press.by men of such doubtful and ssspicious loyalty. An instance of this occurs even during the present session of the legisla. tnrsson hequsstion fthe reelection ofthe pres. sntdsmocratie Jndges. Were they merely .dea,. scssts," their rs-elec tien would be unouestion. d. Bat as they choose to allow their loyalty to bs represented through such mouth.pieces e Eaton, and cast their influence in favor of a ticket Eaton nominated for them and a plat fcsm Eaton builded for them, the loyal men of ths legislature feel that they can pursue but cne courss, and preserve their own self-respect. And thus two very competent Judges, and, we doubt not. truly loyal mon. are set aside, and suc Union dsmocrats--who would sooner afil. ists with copperhead of the suake species ihan with copperhsad of the hunaa genus Ars selected in their stead.
 He sooner. then, such fellows as Eaton. and Fallasdigham are frownsd down or sent down snto banishment bedtting their merits, the sooner ieyai men will find heart to work to. gethsr for the suppression of the rebellion, and the sooner the war win be over and the rebel. lion subdusd. F Gzas
