The statement is being industriously circulated
by the Democratic organs that the Kerubi'cahS oi
New-York are shaking in their boots over the pros
Meet that the vote of tbeStafe may be thrown ont
by Congress The Republicans are shaking IN their
boots bus il is from laughter. and nor lear, that
Democratic Congress will undertake any such ioo'-
ish task.
There's big boom awaiting the man VINO gers
constitutional amendment through Congress making
the Presidential term six years instead Of Tour.
Tho Republicans didn't have half 80 bad all
opinion of Democracy before election as some OF
ITS own organs are expressing now
Moses should come 10 the front with a letter on
the Chinese forgery. If he would only pile few
of his polysylables on top Of BaTnum there
wouldn't be any breath left in his body
There doesn't appear to be quite lively an i'll
terest in the welfare of Ex-Governor Garceon among
the Democrats a. there was last September, JUST
after the Maine election.
The North will never consent to leave IN the hands
of the South the power to cast as many votes as IL

Mr. Barnum's brief and bootless hunt for fraud was
only under which ne hoped to regain some OF
ms 0ld-tme reputation tor shrewdncss If he could
recover that which dear to him, the success Of
the Democratic ticket was matter Of small lmpOr-
lance. The Western man, when he found that bis
wife had eoped set ont in hot haste after the fleeing
pair. he finally came up to them and a. be pre-
sented "A pistol the eloper SAID: You may have yonr
wife, wife be bowed. " replied he pursuing hus-
band, "yOu don't THINK I've chased al this distance
after her, do You! On no; bat III take tne dollar
and a half she has in her pocket. Gave that up and
yon can have her" 50. If Barnum should express
his honest opinion, b. would doubtless say: Han
cock be bowed GIVE me back my reputation Tor
smartness, and | don't care who has the Pres
iuency."
Those Democrats who imagine they can originate
a rev departure for their party should remember
the lamentabe failure Vailandgham made in a sim

that dead party cannot be galvanized.
There is deal of worry IN the Bourbon organs
over the discussions that are certain to spring I'D

aud The Democrats too.
Silence won't condoDe that Chinese forgery, Mr..
Banum.
VIII there never be an eud to the Democratic en-
dcayor to explain their defeat ibey have ascrlbed
1t to Tlden's lukewarmness and Kelly's treachery,
TO BarnumS blundeTS and Englshs uupOpuia'Ity,
to Republican colonization and the Federal
malshals, and still they remain just much in ig
norauce as TO what did 1t the colofed man WAS in
regard to his misfortune iIo stopping over to
get a drink from creek, wholly ignorant of the
presence Of mIschIeyous goat, and in moment
found himself sprawlng in the water. When he
craWled out and was asked how Il happened, he an
Awered: IL dunno, 'xsctly b s. Gus pears to Inc

Democrats had better up the attempt to GX-
plan the defeat of their party, and conclude that
the country Just hIsted ana frOwed it.
