DEMOCRATIC PoETRy.-It is not often
that we see the muse invoked in behalf
OF Democracy, in fact poet must have
something to praise when he sings. and
Democracy with its past record of slav-
cry and slave breeding, and its present
quasi endorsement of fraud and murder,
is not a theme to awake the inspiration of
the divine gift. But we see one spas
mOdic effort Of Democratic bard, which
appears in the San Jose Argus, and we
in all candor recommend the author to
polltice his head with ripe cucumbers
and not try doggerel again for the next
four years. 1T is unnecessary for us to
a ID that the song was written to be sung
TO the inspiriting Democratic air OF
Dixie"

SNUBBED.-The Brigadiers of Con-
gress have <nack of "getting their foot
in it " and the President has n knack of
reminding them of their short comings.
The closing days of Congress gave the
President an opportunity to give them a
couple of shots in their vulnerable part
and lie did it. In his message approving
the Diplomative Appropriation Bill he
gave them distinctly to understand that
the House was encroachirg upon Exec
utive rights, and in the approval OF the
Har6or Appropriation Bill he hinted pref
ty broadly what must be apparent to
any one that the appropriations were
dictated less by regard for the inter-
est OF CONNIE ce aud trade than for To-
cal effect. But the Brigadiers, it must
be remem bered, represent the reform y
clements Of the nation--~in horn.

adhesion to the Republican party at the
time OF its organization, and in 1856 was q
member of the convention that nominated
Gener Fremont for President. and wae

Superior Court Of Cincinnati, to fill q va
