DEMOCRATIC JOURNALS.

The most amusing thing OF the day is
the Appeal taking. the Avalanche to task
on its Democracy. 1t reminds us of the
old adage of the pot laughing at the
kettle for having black face. Our
neighbors would both look, and no doubt
feel better, if they would subject their
countenances to the cleansing effects OF
the Democratic fountain They have both
s,rayed, like lost sheep, from the fold OF
their friends, until it is a diff
cult matter TO track either of them.
The Appeal comes back this morning in
one of its fitful and Gitting moods, and
in administering a little wholesome
advice to a morning rival, it mght be
supposet, that as to itself it Is indeed the
par excellence of Democracy. But the
facts will not snstain the assertion, when
we look into the course Of this sheet for
the last few months II was mighty in
dependent organ at one time, and dis
dained the idea Of grinding out music for
any party whatever. The thought Of max
ing party nominations for Judges Offices
was sufficient TO make each struggling
hair on our neighbors bald head to
stand on end like the quiIis of fretful
porcupine. And so completely had this
thought possessed the managers Of tie
Appeal, that to-day the word Democrat
is not used when speaking of the judicial
nominations. Look az the head of the
columns of this boasting Democratic
sheet, and you will observe only the
words "Judieial Nominations" IL was
quite chary in indorsing the ticket at
FIRST, and did so merely because there
could be found no objection to any name
on il. The truth is that the Appeal and
Avalanche occupied the same platform
a very few weeks since, until the latter
complained Of the former for endeavor-
ing to take away position that was
supposed to be secure by the right of
presumption. Like two tom eats ia $
wallet, they began to scratch each other
for obvious reasons of rivalry and self
interest, and, further, for want Of space
for such large bodies as they are. The
Appeal has now the advantage ofthe Ava
lauche, as it has possession Of the Dem
ocraic platform-possession being nine
points in the law. 1t proposes 10 put its
opponent on the defensive, while il sits
still and charges in6delity, an oHense
with which il stands equally culpable.
II however, either or bOth Of these jour
mails should desire to repent of their
great sins against the purest and best
party now alive in this country, le, it be
signi6ed, and ne will receive them again.

journalistic Row.

New York, May 4.-The Standard of this
morning appears with another lively article
on the Sun. In replying to encouraging words
from the Commercial Advertiser. Mr.. Young
says: Dana opens the war again on our
return to the press, and we propose to accept
it, Since his record as an editor shows him to
be coward and spy, and his course in the
Sun that of simple pirate making war upon
society. we propose so to deal with him. We
should prefer peace, but do not shrink from
war. We ask no quarters from this buccaneer,
and shall do our best to demonstrate to the
world the infamy Of bis life. There can never
be encouragement for scholarly writing and
elevated journalism so long as men like Dana
are permitted to war upon mankind"
