LETTER FROM CARSON.

CARSON, Nov. 3, 1865.
EDITOR News: l was at the county
seat of m adjoining county, recently, and
much pleased to find that the sound logic
of Hon. D. II. Ashley. put forth in that
place a few days previously, had caused a
huge wiggling of the "serpents." l am
told that prior to his speech, the Copper
heads of said shire town had begun to act
and talk as if they were as good as Union
men, or "any other man = but Ashley
snatched that lattering urction from their
conceited souls (if they had any, and
when MIR. Fitch spoke a piece" to them,
they kept in the shady part of the audi
ence, instead Of crowding to the front
seats, among good and loyal men, as on
the former occasion.
BY the way, the sage-brush Democracy
had posters out, yesterday, announcing
that Master Mitchell, Col. ]. ]. Musser
and others of their eminent" talkists,
would enlighten the unterrifed Of Carson,
and " the balance of mankind" last night,
at the Theater; but the sorrel failed to
connect, and so did "Musser and Others"
except DR.. Ellis. The latter gentleman, I
on told, fabricated the machinery Of the
Democratic vehicle, so that it will run
smoothly until sunset OF the It'll inst.
They say the doctor was eminently sound
on the question of non-afiliation with
negroes, giving as q pre-eminent reason
why they can not become the equals of
the " pale faces" their lack of nationality,
likening the negro, in that respect, to the
Jews among US. I thought it rather q
poor way for him to help along his Israel
itish candidate for the Assembly, Joe
Rosens,ock--the gentleman from Germany.
Left handed compliments will be thank
lessly received by him, and larger ones
in proportion. But the NJ. D.. was in
for a speech, and as he had "a lone
hand" he was obliged to play it out"
and see what it would eliminate in. He
was sound as a g~reenback--I mean a dol
lar--on the States Rights question. That
is the Shibboloth of Democracy, and the
Doctor knows it. IF the salt have lost
its SAVIOR, wherewith shall it be sailed : "
If Democracy has lost States Rights,
wherewith shall it be Democracied :
That's the ~questionnow, not "who struck
Billy Patterson ?" for the answer to the
last and chronic i~nterrogatory, like some
Of Mrs. Southworth's new works, is "in
press" and will be on sale next Wednes-
day-"copy right secured" and "entered
in the office Of the Clerk Of the District
Court, Second Judicial District, Ormsby
county," by L. C. McKeeby, Esq.
DR.. Ellis also expounded the Virginia
and Kentucky Resolutions of '9S. They
are dearer to the appreciative Democrat
than "the Constitution as it is" being his
beau ideal Of Democratic and rhetorical
perfection and beauty. The Doctor, how
ever, travelled out of the track marked out
by the late Democratic State Funeral,
which buried all past issues. We will
excuse him for it, Us they are about as
hard run for political capital as they are
for votes, and they lack them wofully.
The fact is, Copperhead Democracy is
Just about "played out" The eminent
political NJ. DIS who have so long and
devotedly administered "nostrums and
drugs innumerable" to its already decom-
posing corpus, are beginning to weaken
have about concluded that, for its peculiar
disease, materiG medica provides no ade-
quate remedy. I think they will hand
the patient over next Wednesday to Union
knights of the Scalpel," who will use
that instrument to the divesting of the
patient of all gangrene by cutting off the
tail close up to the auricular organs. Then
if it dies, die it must, inSolvent, unwept,
unsung. ALL's WELL.
