FoR THE WESTERN 0UTLAws.-Immense num-
be.s of sheets from the office of the New York
Mail ere being scattered throughout the West,
through the agency of EASTERN banking houses.
These sheets are filled with insane rawlings on
the silver question, many of the articles contain
ing the yilest abuse of the West. Western people
who pretend to have views on the finances, are
told that they are fools, and that they have no
right TO think differently from the Money Lords
Of the East !; and members of Congress who favor
the remonetization of silver, are talked to in q
manner that Southern master would have been
ashamed to exhibit toward his slaves. The sheet
10 copiously interpreted with dreadful items of
the wsy honest and unsuspecting Eastern men
have been taken in and done for by the Western
people. These papers have been sent to the wrong
market. They will only serve to unite the West
ern people more thoroughly in their financial in
tsrests, by showing the spirit and the arguments
of the Eastern skinners. Such stuff should de-
termine Congress to hoist the silver bill through
With . rush, and follow it up with the repeal of
the Resumption act.

n Atchison County is Republican County
but at tho last election, the Republicans con-
eentrated all their interest upon two or three
County Offices, allowing the Democrats to steal
. march upon them, and elect all the Commits
soners. One of the first acts of this Democratic
Board was TO declare the Patriot, a Democratic
paper, the official paper of the County, at legal
rates, without submitting the printing to bids.
This is the way the Democrats do, when they
are m powerr. When the Republicans are in
power, the publishers Of Democratic papers
come whining to them about the poor tax pay
ers, and asking that they be given chance for
the patronage. Republican County Boards will
please make note.

~ That standard Demderatic paper, the Troy
Bulletin, last week administered long lecture
to the Chief intended as an overhaulipg of the
Republican party, for their lack Of economy.
But it seems that as fast this extravagant par
ty loses power, and the honest Democratic party
gains it, the faster the money goes. The last
discovery is, that extravagance in the United
States Senate increases rs the Democratic
strength increases. Our authority for this ssser-
tion is the Philadelphia TINES, the Bulletins BIZ
bic, from which it draws its inspiration, and
which it offers to its Subscribers on clubbing
terms, as one of the soundest and most reliable
papers in the United States.

The expense Of the ckief, because Of our having
suppressed considerable degree Of skepticism
- 70 the snccoss of the bunccmbe proposition of
CockrelI, Of Missouri, to amend the Constitution
Of the United States. 1t may be, that the editor
a the Balletin, being upon intimate terms with
the leaders Of the Democratic party of the ma
fien, thoroughly understands Democracy and
Denoerstic sentiment; bat if so, the Democrat
70 majority in Congress is composed of set of
slunk<heads, who do not represent Democratic
ideas.
Il viii be borne in mind that Cockrell's amend
nent has newer been proposed in Congress. 1t
wss promulgated by some one in Cockrelps conf
dance, during the late recess of Congress, and
wns evidently put forth feeler. When Con-
Rress 70 assembled, and the rumored amendment
was talked over by the Democratic members, it
wss received with indignation contempt.
The Southern members took it as an insult, il
mot intended as . joke; and the Northern Dem
scrsts recevedi il even more econtemptuously than
4hsir Southern brethren-ss the Northern De-
mocracy have always exhibited more zeal in the
interest of their Southern masters than the mas
t0kU themselves Qfo- LUG cuauccs uoW tuoe
Cockrelrs amendment will never be submitted
70 Congress lift 10, it will be only for buncombe;
Tor with the almost unanimous opposition of the
Democratic members, who have q majority in
the House, and almost tie in the Senate, the
prospect Of the necessary two thirds majority in
each House il worse than hopeless. Bu., should
il pass Congress, what is the prospcctf Before
it can take effect it must be ratified by the Leg
islsturcs Of three-fourths of the States. The
sf1olid South" has sixteen States, which would
finish it at once; for not one of them would rat
ify IN amendment to cut off the fatness that is
the darling object of their desires. Out of the
sntirs thirty-eight States, the Democrats have
the Legislatures Of at least twenty, which is q
majority of two. In view of this fact, and OF
the openly expressed opposition of Democrats,
North and South, to the suggested amendment,
We presume there is no particular harm in the
veteran Democratic organ of Doniphan County
mapping out precisely what the Democratic par
ty will do, and enjoy itself in anticipation of the
disastrous effect 1t will have upon the Republi-
can party. In the meantime, the Democratic
party will not be likely to throw away the only
object that binds them together, in the doubtful
hope Of depriving the Republican party of one
source of political capital.
