We are accused in a certain quarter
with boiling the Democratic party Any
one with common sense never would
have fabricated such ridiculous Sian
der as that and attempt to palm it off as
fact on an intelligent community
Advocate.
OF course not. The Advocate mans
loyalty to the Democratic party was
shiningly illustrated as u member of an
order styled the Ring Tail Squcalers,
wherein the white, yellow, black and
BACON, mingled together in friendly
communion, to such an extent, that he
bravely overcame all prejudice on &C
count of race, color or previous condi
ton, and ate cro~ at a1,ertain "n'iica-
ton dinner, in company with several
well known colored Republican politi-
clans. There are other little Delinquent
cies that hard-shell Democrats are not
in the habit of doing that were perform

not exactly be called "bolting," but
would be termed fshy transactions in
certain quarters.

TIE Philadelphia Times of to-day
prints the pathetic appeal of u Christian
father and some interesting discoveries
made by its own reporters, to prove that
there are vile dance houses blazoning
their signs on the public streets of that
city, which are frequented night after
night by the young daughters of respec-
table and Christian families, going the
easy road to destruction while their pa
rents feel secure about their whereabouts
1t is a sad story of stern fact and the
pity of it is that the agencies Of Christian
civilization are not more practically en-
ployed to cure these hideous ills. We
doubt not that many of the sufferers of a
blasted home, made desolate by such dens
as the Times describes, have wrestled
powerfully in prayer for the conversion
of the heathen and sent their contribu-
tions to Greenland's icy mountains,
while their sons and daughters were, un-
