A sIaNIFICA Mt CONTRAST.

What strong contrasts arc being con.
siantly presented in this republic. Sun.
light and darkness are not more opposite
than some Of the scenes that are transpiring
now. A few years ago Massachusetts, was
recognized as the central rendezvous of
common sense and earnest patriotism, and
Kentucky as the chief depository Of every
thing that Vas foreign to Godliuess aud
respect for law. Times have changed since
those days. and the high minded citizen and
lofty patriot Of Plymouth Rock has dwin.
died into the narrow partisan and the
turbulent political demsgogue. While
these are the characteristics of some OF the
Democratic Representatives from Masss.
chusetts, we find that from Kentucky have
come men to our National Legislature who
are brave enough to throw aside parti-
san hate for patriotic duty. While
THOMPSON, of Massachusetts,, strongly
favors fillibustering opposition to the de.
cision Of the Judicial Tribunal, WAT.
TERsoN, Of Kentucky, counsels peaceful
submission to the result Political features
now being developed rapidly are Northern
Democratic recreancy and Southern Demo
cratic statesmanship and patriotism. The
Presidential embroglio may therefore be
an imperishable bcnent to the country,
for the pendency Of these complications is
demonstrating the true spirit of the South.
crn leaders, and thoroughly exposing the
dangerous and disgusting features of the
Northern faction. The wisdom and inHexible
determination of Southern men to bring
peace out Of political chaos has been the
means Of preserving the safety Of the ma.
tion and overturning the revolutionary
schemes Of the Northern dough faces.
Southern men begin to appreciate the true
condition Of things, and with their quick
perception and strong common sense are
taking advantage Of a golden opport rtunity.

Horrible Suicide oIan Opium Eater.

A resident of KnightstoWn, Ind, after eat
ingopium for ten years, wandered Into hotel In
New orleansa q week ago yesterday, and CON-
mitted suicide by boring hole In his neck with q
penkniie and cutting the jugular vein with pair
Of surgeons scissors. The confessions Of this
opium eater have terrible signifcanos: "God
only knows how have fought this terrible habit,
but whenever 1t gets hold Of the system II is too
late. God pity the opium eater! Am almost
past going now. The opium habit was contracted
more than ten years ago, though not confirmed
until about eight years since I then began TO
fight with the desperation that almost crazed
me, and when nearly we'll would become dis
oourased and 20 back again. No man had o
dearer wife and family than l had-a better wife
and children. cannot recall my iifo."

No man with thimble full Of pins In his
head and . sense of justice and honor
In his heart will pretend for .
moment that the GaovIR -CRoSIS-
PxLTos.PATRIoK trick, played on the
sovereign people Of Oregon, WAS anything
but an outrage on common dscency,
mocracs to seize, by fraud, the sceptre Of
national power. such Il appeared primd fa-
Gle, and such It has proven TO bs since the
bowels OF its true inwardness have been torn
out by investigation. An examination of this
case has established It as one Of the foulest
political conspiracies TO rob, by bold corrup-
tion, q State ofits legal vote, that has ever
been recorded In the annals of DO
litical crimes. From this reeking
stencil, imbued with scandal, the honest DEM
ocrat turned away In utter disgust. From this
outrageous attempt 81 political highway rob
berythe Democratic press turned away ashamed
Of the part Democrats have played In It. and
abashed at the course GRovER, KELLY and
PELToN have taken In the lawless affair.
The cypher telegrans, which were In

revolving to the moral sense Of every
honest man. This attempt to creep iato power
through the slimy avenues of fraud and
rank corruption, ,'fathoms the deepest depths
OF political infany. II was ilscunniuE Of the
most odious type, and . cunning whose cor
summation would not have beol tolerated BY
the people Of Oregon or Of the nation at large.
The Democratic party has suffered . defeat
which becomes more blighting because Of the
vicious weapon which they used In ther At

the hearty support Of every sensible man In
