military command, on contiguous territory,
million of yeomaury who would ike no bet~
ter pastime than to march to the Capitol, put
the carpet-baggers to fight, and inaugurate
the new WtitesMan's Government on the
debris of the gigantic swindle which is now
upheld by the nigger-worshippers. We don't
suppose great deal of shooting or hanging
would have to be done at the Capitol, as the
cowardly wretches, most likely, at the first
scent of personal peril would pick up their
carpet-bags and take to their heels. And if
any Massachusetts regiment were fool enough
to venture upon a repetition of the old game
of marching through the city of New York
for the protection of the strooly loil' in
Washington, we guess they would not get on
as far as Baltimore before the bricGbat, the
understandable egg, and the cold lead would
admonish them that tIsey had made slight
mistake, and were travelling, this time at
least, in the wrong direction.


That is Che only settlement of which this
senatorial carpet-baggers' swindle is suscep-
tible. The knaves may be smuggled in now,
and may keep their seats in spite of us till
after January-because we ca mot help our
selves-but after that date, we repeat it,
somebody has got to leave, PcaceiJy it they
choose, or .forci6Iy if aoe mast!


We trust some of our outspoken friends in
the Democratic Convention will see to it that
due notice is served upon the Jacobin party
of what is coming, so that they may have no
occasion to complain that they had not for

A story is told of the Rev. D., of Georgia,
which illustrates the danger of prolixity in
the pulpit, as well as elsewhere. He had a
very slow delivery, and with the best inten-
tions undertook to infict his tediousness upon
the unfortunate inmates of the lunatic asylum
At his last appointments, he was preaching
upon the absolute necessity Of trusting in
Christ. He was illustrating his subject by
the case of man condemned to be hung and
rcprieved under the gallows. lie went on to
describe the gathering of the crowd, the
bringing out of the prisoner, his remarks
under the gallows, the appearance of the
executioner, the adjustment of the halter,
the preparation to let fall the platform, aud
just then the appearance in the distance Of
the dust covered courier, the jaded horse. the
waving HANDKERCHIEF, the commotiou in the
crowd. at this thrilling point, when every
one was listening in breatbIess silence for the
denoument, the doctor became 4 little prOiix.
One of the lunatics could hold in no longer
he arose in the congregation and shouted ::
"Hurry, doctor, for Gods sake, hurry

Chase has been improving his time during
the session of the African Methodist Episco-
pal Conference in this city by cndeavoring
to proselyte to the Democratic party some of
the most prominent members of the Confer
ence. The argument he is said to have used
is that the Republican party had ignored the
negro in the North, and that the Democratic
party would form a platform endorsing uni>
Yersal suffrage and universal amnesty, and
make him (Chase) their candidate.-FOrney's S

THE BowpoIN CHARTER.-Bro. Tenney of
the Brunswick Telegraph wakes exceeding
wroth over the unpleasant state of things aris
ing from the provisions of the Bowdoin Col
lege charter, which deprive the Board of
Overseers of any original jurisdiction in the
affairs of the college and make the Trustees
virtually absolute and the whole thing "a close
communion" He concludes that according to
the decision in the celebrated Dartmouth Col
lege case the charter is not amendable, and that
joint jurisdiction cannot be given to the Over
seers and Trustees, in conformity to modern
IDEAS or academic government. Our own
opinion is that the decision referred to does
not preclude an amendment to the charter of
the nature demanded in this case, since il
would not seem to come within the purview of
the clause of the constitution that forbids
States to pass laws impairing the obligation of
contracts.

side, that serves as outlet for the blood and
goes on sucking, in happy ignoranceo of the
cause of his abnormal appetite as long as
thel doctor pleases. Bellatomy is the name
given to the practice, and it is urged that it
is not cruel, but contrarywise !, since it
does the leech good turn by enabling him
to enjoy his rich feast indefinitely. He does
not die under the operation. but with proper
treatment is soon healed, and may be iDciscd
over and over again. There was once an al
