BILLS GONE UP7
! While our Democratic press denounce
the Republican party for most Of tn
crimes forbidden in the decalogue, it as
sumes that the Democracy is party o
uaimpsachable int gritty, and entirely
consistent i'll all its principles, moral ana
political.
The Democratic press is secret organl

all the people should be advised, but which

dissension among the Democrats in Con-
gress on the subject Of the Texas Pacific
| and the levee appropriations. It received
no notice at the hands of the organs,
which were daily publishing articles in
favor of both measures. We merely &C.

Congress themselves.
When the Hon. Mr.. Singleton, of Mis-
sisippi, had laid his 1.-TWO or three
schemes" before the national Democracy,
it was accompanied by the intimation that |
they were expected to support them. be-
cause it was to their interest to do so.
When one member had charged that the
Republican party had broken every oath
it had ever taken, and another intimates
the interests of Northern Representatives
as q sufficient argument for their votes, it
is natural that the section thus impugned
should manifest some resentment.
This the national Democracy proceeded
% do in the most unequivocal manner
During the Interruptions to the speech Of
'lr. Singleton, there seemed some doubt
$ to whether the doughface element
would execute this little scheme Of appro-
,riation. Mr.. Willis (Democrat), of New
FORK, abruptly stated to the gentleman ,

hey feel disposed; but so far as We are con- '
erned, we 60 not intend to indulge in any :
