CHRONICLES.

The following truthful "chronicles" we
copy from an exchange, the editor Of
which, we should judge, had "been through
the mill -: .......
1. Man born of woman we never
knew of any other kind.) and speudeth his
time editing newspaper, is of few days
and full of troubles.
z. He riseth in the morning about the
9th hour and findeth that the boarders
have left him no breakfast, yea, not even a
scrap.
5. 8. He departeth hungry to bis desk,
and is even thus until the I'd hour, when
he dineth on locusts and wild honey, which
he obtaineth at the grocery at25 cents.
A. He covenanteth with bis subscr-
bers to print him paper for shekIes of
gold and shekles of silver, payable on the
10th day, when 10 he taketh to the bank
rupt act on the 9th day
5. The politician calleth to see him,
and promises when he is elected to get
him big office high in the synagogue.
6. He findeth great multitudes along

z. But when he also asketh one of
them 10 turn for him, he is called many
hard names and stoned grievously, yea,
they even calleth HIM fool.
8. Now in his day and time sorcers
and jugglers with ways past finding out

by him, clothe themselves in purple and
fine linen, and have fatted calf killed
every day.
9. And when be asketh for slice of
this iatted cali, he is given free ticket to
the show.
10. And when be refu.eth to publish

and pestilence.

186O---1S6S.

History repeats itself. During the year
1860, when the "lurid clouds of war "
began to obscure the horizon, the great
democratic party appealed to their poiti-
cal opponents to pause in their rash and
wicked career, that the country might be
saved from the desolation of civil strife
But the enemies of our party and of the
country were mad with hatred towards the
South, and delirious with the prospect of
office, power and plunder. They sneered,
and contemned all our counsels as the
driveIiugs of "Ucion savers" and rushed
the country mady into war, which last
ed four long, weary, bloody years. A
million of graves and more than three nal
lions of debt are Only small portion of
the penalties this people must suffer for
their madness, folly and crime, when one
word of conciliatioo::an compromise would
have preserved peace.
Again in 1868 war darkens the hori-
zon, and we see the same exhibitions of
madness and folly. Congress has already
decla ed war against the white people of
the country Already have they begun
to distribute arms to the black savages of
the South Already are they recruiting
officers penetrating every township in the
North to inyeigle men into the ''Grand
Army of the Republic" who in less than
a year will be called upon to make COM
mon cause with the niggers against the
white people of America. And for what
That the Camerons, the Buffers, the Bing-
hams, and thousand of other thieves. cut
throats and muIdcrers may still hold Of
fee and increase their iIl-gotten gains by
again pIundering the people. Another
war is upon our country if the people do
not arouse themselves and rehuke the men
who are urging it forward.-BSItgonte

The New Territory of Wyoming.

A bill passed both Houses of Congress
to erect the new territory of Wyoming,
and to provide temporary government
for it. The region embraced in it has
lately been attached to the territory of
Dakota, but it is separated from it by
such barriers of space and deserts as to
render the connection troublesome for
both parties. 1t is completely surround
ed by organized governments, Montana
lying on the North, Dakota and Nebras-
ka on the east, Colorado and Utah on the
south, and Idaho on the west, The
boundarylines are the twenty and
thirty-fourh meridians of longitude, and
the forty-frst and forty-fifth parallels o.
latitudes, so that it forms perfect paral-
telegram. 1t takes a small slice off Utah
and another from Idaho.

Resot0cd, That fourteen years of warfare
against the slave-power have convinced US
that every act done in support of the
American Union rivets the claims of the
slave that the only exodus of the slave

be over the remains of the present Ameri-
