when tsac Democratic Party May
Count Upon Success.

Between truth and error there can be no
compromise. All attempts at adjusting
such aptagonisns, give the whole vantage
ground to the wrong side. Whenever
Democrats adopt the principles and even
the candidates Of their opponents, as they
did in the State of New York or i'll the
city of Chicago at recent elections, they
can look f5r nothing else than defeat. 1t
is idle to expect that the masses OF the
democratic party, who have ever been de
voted to the principles oil the Government.
and who are to day better educated in the
cardinal doctrines of the Constitution than
even the leaders Of the Republican party,
can be brought to actively engage IN a
canvass that only involves personal issues,
and that utterly disregards those great
landmarks which have been the faithful
guides of their political lives
Intelligent aud disintercsted Democrats,
who prefer principles to spoils, demand
vital issues with their opponents. There
is scarcely a measure advocated or an act
performed by the Republican party With

"Reminiscences Of the Wirz Trial.

"One of the witnesses for the prosecution
in the case of Wirz, the Andersonvillc
jailor was person who called himselfthe
Marquis de la Beume, who claimed to be
grand nephew of La Fayette. The wit
ness testified to the individual killing or
murder committed by Wirz. During the
progress of the trial the Marquis, it is said
obtained the recommendations Of members
of the military commission for his appoint
menr to a clcrkship in the Interior De-
partment, and was afterward appointed by
the Secretary of the Interior. Yesterday
he was dismissed from his position as clerk
upon the representation, as we are informs
ed, of the officers and soldiers Of the Sev>

which Beume formerly belonged, and
from which it is alleged, he deserted

AIa< hinc Poetry

The versatile old gentleman who edits
the Republican has made dash into
new field of operations. Week before last
he announced with quite flourish that
he had IA rod in pickle" for the editors OF
the Democrat Well, week passed by,
and sure enough the picking process being
completed, the aforesaid picked rod made
its appearance in the form of ''niagnii-
cent poetical effusion,'' entitled Copper
head Lamentations, from which we make
the following wise and witty extracts
Father Osborne Imps and tramps his lip.
Aud Harvey hangs his mu!iSh head,
For the last bright SPOT is faded OUT
And snakes in Marshall abou: all dead.
We have killed the President. we know.
But it made the trouble bigger;
Aud now to hell we all mrst go,
For fighting against the niger.
0 Lord we've sinned against thee,
In numerous WAYS to tell,
o save our sinful. guilty souls
FROM a bottomoss, burning hell.
Truly the old man is growing ethereal
as age steals softly DER him" and there
is no longer any doubt about the fact that
Plymouth contains at least one poet. Our
devil has also caught the poetcal itch and
we expect ere long he too will be laying
claim to authorship in the department of
classical literature, indeed he insists that
we shall make room for the following sam
pie of his aptitude in this direction, and
we confess that We think it equal to that
of our scholarly neighbor:
Iguatius is a gentleman
pray you not to snigSer,)
lie edits the Republican
And dearly loves the n-r.
His handsome face OF rudy hue,
OF classic mould aud figure,
Puts on smile supcrbly new,
Wiener he sees n-r.
Once in while he funny grows
And chuckles in his throttle,
But gracious goodness what a nose,
And how he loves the bottle

THE DELINQUENT TAX LIsT.-Wc
have waited with some anxiety since the
extra session Of the legislature was called,
to hear some suggestions from the press Of
the State relative to the price fixed by
law for the publication of the delin1r2at
tax list. The price paid for is publication
is too small,-it hardly rays the expense
of labor and tine consumed in setting the
type. Even before the war the price was
thought to be very low, yet the price for
its publication is the same now as then,
with an advance of 100 per cent in the
price of printing materials. We think
the legislature should fix the price to corr
respond with the rise in printing materials.
