THE Richmond U1ig says; "Tho speeches
of John $ Barbour in the eighth district are
said to be miserable failurcs-nakng him tho
| laughing stock of the country"
MURDER is no longer regarded as a punish-
able oGenso in Mississippi, especially if the
victim is n republican, and yet we fancy this
arcpublicau form Of government, which toler-
atcs freedom Of opinion. Fudge
! The vote on the amendments in Maine is
thus stated To elect governor by plurality,
/ 5s s,s72 for and 3Tl53 against; to extend tho
/ term OF senators aud reprcs entatiyes to two
| years, 67 76l for and 1854 against.
The shotgun policy of "solid south" is
rapidly spreading itself through femocratic cir
clcs at tho north. Scarcely day passes but wO
| have accounts of democratic attempts to break
up republican professions and meetings in the
north.
A PARTY of ladies recently visited General
| Hancock and dosed him with tatry until his
very tongue hung out over his under lip and
| the gilt buttons started loose from his coat,
They regard him as very susceptible as
well as superb" soldier.
THE democrats Of the third congressional
district in New Jersey have bursted wide open
over the nomination of Miles Ross for con.
gress. The delegates from Monmouth left
the hall in disgust, and lively cat-Gght is
anticipated in that district
BUSINESS wants that tranquility which
comes Of established theories aud practices Of
government based upon the fundamental law Of
our national existence, honest elections and
freedom of political opinion. The shotgun,
the rife, tho night liners and the ku klux OF
the south deny these, and hence republican
policy alone can secure the tranquility that
/ business wants.
THE democrats having stolen grecnbaCl,
victory in Maine-if any has been won--aro
now engaged In kicking Gen eral Weaver, the
grecuback candidate for president, and arc
grading him intellectually with a town con.
stable. This IS democratic gratitude and de,
ceucy Now lot the party sond nine more
bags Of fraudulent mail matter to the postoiIlcc
Just TO be consistent.
THE following pet names have heretofore
been applied to Ben Butlcr by the democrats;
"The beast" Spoons" yankee thief" ''son
of the devil" "haf beast aud half niger,
"tho Marat of the north =" "cock.eyed christian
from Yankee doodle doc" "lhe light-nngerod
beauty" "chic5en thief" "hero of beauty aud
booty" "old squint," etc. Now lie is herou
liam saint.
WHENEVER the democrats have tho power
they prosecute every republican within theil
reach and they do it remorselossly, But
whenever republican manufacturer whose
prosperity hinges upon the present policies o
the government finds his emplOye voting
away his interests and welfare, and he pa "
him of and let's him 60 for tho reason tina
such political action is in hostility to his bes
interests, then the democrats howl like pacl
of hyenas over republican prescription They
are terribly distressed on account of the Ia
boring man. II is very sad.
The commercial members of the greenbacl
party in Maine have determined to sell out
to tho democrats under a sort of Esau tratlic
The men who believe in greenbackism as
principle earnestly protest against the sale
but they are nevertheless sold out aud mad,
to kiss the hand that smOte them in Alabama
