A GKEFR 3I DEcLINE.-The Wade
Hampton F\9Trest Democracy. who
have being playing the role Of Bonn
bastis FurIoso aud the Prince OF
Bluff, for some time past, have gone
into general decline within the
last few days, and are now rapidly be-
coming as quiescent as a goose pond
after a tempest. Ten days, or two
weeks ago, they were spelling to bet
that Seymour would be the next
President, and offered odds On Hen
bricks for Governor. After they had
blowed sufficiently. to lead to the be-
lief that they meant business, the
Republicans quietly produced their
greenbacks and asked the bloviators
to come down with their wealth. The
Democracy at once wilted, but at
length rallied and proposed to risk a
little on the State, and one man had
the temerity to give his check Tor
$1,000 on Hendricks, after putting
up so as a forfeit. He was soon
surrounded by more sagacious Demo
Gratis, and at once rushed 10
the bank to stops payment of the
check, and by coup de etat succeeded
in getting possession of his forfeited
ten dollars very contemplate fraud
to say the least of it. Finally they
offered odds on the county of Van
derbugh, but when met by men who
meant business, they dropped hum
dred at time till they barely retain
courage to intimate a willingness to
bet even on the county. The fact is,
none of them have sufficient conf
dencc in the result to risk their own
money and the few small poney purses
into which the price of Pendleton
and Hendricks has been divided, are
exhausted, and the party decline to
be further taxed to support a sinking
cause, and now we have a right to
hope that as they decline to put up, ="
they will dry up" The great ground
swells in Vermont and Maine, despite
their whistlings and pipped ROSTERS,
have sent the whole party into gen.
eral decline. It is doubtful now if
they would even bet on Kentucky.

BEFORE ESoUIRE EMERY.-A well
