There li nothing plainer to him who Is t careful observer of the drift of thing than , tliut the lave qui ation is rapidly hastening a rupture between (he iiugcr-driverof the South and the drivi-n nigger of the North who now compo the ham democracy of the nation. We have often thought Hint the salamanders who control tho parly ought to be satisfied with the dirtcsii'ig capacities of their Northern allin. They have, according to one of their own origin, (tlie Vermont Patriot,) "eaten dirtenongh to stuff tho Kentucky cave." They hare, according to that paper, "crouched and fuwucd spaniel-like at the fed of their rin ters" on evf ry occasion when their driver hare cracked the whip about their ear. Didn't they, when commanded to do no by their 'overseer,' tear down the Missouri Compromise to open all the Tcrritorh a to slaver;? Iidn't they uc the wholo power of the Government to hack up tho border ruflian government inaugurated in Kansas by Ore thousand Miasourians, who drove tho free white aettlera from the polls with blud geon and bowicknive and elected a pro flavery Legislature? Didu't thia Adminis tration, headed by a trembling' doughface, enconrage the murder, robberies, and rape committed in Kann by armed ruffian, by BiKiinting to office aome of the very villuln whose hand wero red with the blood of froe-Stato men, and who had already been indicted for the crime? Didn't thi same Administration bully Walker into u rrsig nation, becnuso he had endcuvored tocurrr out the fint instruction of tho Incentive i ucu, inn iy anil justly Willi tlie people of Mir.

Tho Times, a short time lor lorcing slavery upon a proplo who nb- since, called on the ex orgnn to tako it back, horrcd it? Failing in this, didn't they np- in n tone which we used to think down in j-rovo or lUo Itill hnghsh projYet for oW4n West Tennessee meant something. The them into what they couldn't force them, Times of the 21st inst., however, under tho promising them immediate admssion into head of "The end of it" publishes a corrcs the Union, with half a million acres of land, ponder.ee between the Colonel and the nlt spring, Ac, if they would accept sin- Judge, in which tho former requests tho very, and threatening them with an Indcfi-" hitter to correct tho stutcment of tho cx-nite- length of Territorial vassalage, without organ.

Arsenal meantime, the ex organ !m declared in re nt Liberty, Missouri, toga deadly wrap- ply to tho Colonel's " take back" 'Icmnnd ",u,, "''-"" men in Kansas, tlmt it "shan't do unv such thin?." W, and wagging their tails when they gel bone, a other 'spaniel' do, We seen New York correspondent of the Richmond Enquirer tliurgei that tho "New York Democrats are almost universally Wilinot Proviso men, which I the stepping-stone to Abolitionism that they didn't even get ii disgust enough over Old Drown' foray to Induce them to go to the poll at the lute election: tliut while tho Republicans are enthusiastic and currying everything before them, the Democracy are becoming more and more cold and Indifferent, and the fact Is there is no longer any dependence on tho Northern Democracy." Sinco the meeting ol Congress, the (ire-eaters have taken ev end occasion to treat them to sound kicking as "rotten and unreliable." Ivor- son of Georgia gave them such a lampoon ing that even tho unmitigated doughface Pugh of Ohio showed dispositions of unen sines a Ircrson trod hard on the spaniel's tail. Pugh snarled out, " If this bo the doctrine of the Southern Democracy, I want to know it, and the Northern Deniocruts mill know it before the Charleston Conven tion meet." We are not at all displeased at the treatment the doughfaces are receiv ing at the hands of their taskmasters. We feel liko exclaiming with Vomer, when the cringing vassals of Austrian despotism were smitten at the command of Grsbr " Lay it on to them; there's a spirit in us likes it." We want to see Brown, Jeff Davis, Ivor- son, and the ' chivalry' generally bring their ' nigger whips' ulong with them to Con gress and give their doughface allies at least ' thirty on the bare back' every day if that won't answer, we suggest they try their gulta -percha canes on them. While such n Delusion will submit, in hopes of an of fice, the day isn't distant when the most of the Northern Democracy will go out of tho Democratic party with the boots of South ern sulamuuder close in their rear. Dreadful Caraegr. Sinco the sectional organs have raised such a howl over the ' irrepressible conflict' that is now going on, wo have been a little curious to look over the 'official dispatches' and seo what tho Blacks hnvo lost since the Republicans first organized and commenced tho 1 conflict' witli them. In looking over the Black list of 'killed, wounded, and de serted ' among the rank and file, oh I hear ens) what a sight!! The wholo field is lit- erully covered with bleaching bones, while tho hospitals oro all crowded to suffocation with the wounded, and there isn't cotton enough in nil the South to bandage their broken heads and bruised limbs. As to the ' deserters' that list is longer than the At lantic Cubic they've been leaving like ruts from a house on fire. Among tho officers In the Black army, we find thut tho 'irrepressible conflict' bus already disposed of the following. The 'places which onco knew them (in the U. Senate) shall know the poor fellows no more forever.' In Iowa, wo find Captain Jones and Cupt. Dodge, both killed. Rhodo Island, Cupt. James and Capt. Al len, both dead. Michigan, Brigadier-Gen eral Cus ami Sergeant Stuart, also dead. New Jersey, Capt. Wright. Connecticut, Major Toucy. Wisconsin, Col. Dodgo. tnnsylvnnia, Gen. Brodhcad. Ohio, Mnj. Pugh. Minnesota, Capt. Shields. Here are twelve officers of high rank who have all been killed outright, and their places in the U. S. Scnute are now occupied by live Republican. Then thero is Cupt. Delu- on from Oregon, who went into tho 'con flict' boasting thut ho was ' descended from ..! I. I . I A . .... jiyniHiy siock,' anu uiereloro be would "rip old Morgan's (a Republican officer) d d guts out, and wind 'cm round his neck' he would. He bristled up to officer Ilule, made n pass at him, and fell headlong on tho Semite floor mortally wounded ' in the back,' and, liko his ancestor Judas, the con tents of Ins stomach 'gushed out.' He say he 'doesn't know what hit him,' but thinks he ninst hnve been struck down ' by the act of God.' Grovcr and Lnnc, who packed h;m off and examined him, confirm his statement, as they could find no mink on him but such a must have been mudo by somo 'spinlaui act. In the Senate, the Republicans hud only fifteen members in 1855, but in 18G1 they will Imvo twenty-seven, and perhaps more, In the thirty-fifth Congress tho Blacks had ono hundred und sixteen members, but in this (the thirty-sixth) they have but eighty-three. Is it any wonder that the sectionalists grunt n good deal about tho ' irrepressible conflict ' ? admired tho Colonel's pluck very much till it ciiiuo to publishing that " correspon dence." ow. to one . that won't i o it won't urar do.

Wo give place to the above card nt the request of its accomplished author, although we think a simple yerbal dcniul from her ought to huve sutisficd any gcntlemnn of its truth. Tho article alluded to is a very affecting little story, and might have np pcurcd in Godey or the Wuverly without attracting any notice aside from its literary merit. We do not know that it was de signed to have a local application, and, even if it was, more town than Salem can fur nish counterparts to the characters therein represented. Tho authorship of ' Widowed Love,' over tho signature of 'Winnie Wintergreen,' which article was published in the Argus of January 2S, ultimo, has been attributed to various persons in Salem and Oregon City, but in each instance without any just reason. Our old friend ' Squib' is among tho number of the accused, and, in justice to him, we take it upon oursclf to giro the accusation an unqualified denial. He never honors our columns with his effusion in any other shape than over tlmt well-known nig nature. His titlo to tho mm de plume of ' Squib ' has been too dearly earned to lie li'ditly cast away. Some fourteen moons ngo, he 'pitched in' most ,'owdn- eiously ' to sevcrul persons in thi section but ' Fizzle ' quietly took him in Timid nnd almost punched his Jife out (figurutivcly speaking, that is to say), sinco which time 'Squib' bus been pnrtiully in obscuration Besides, his order of genius tukes to sub jects of a prncticul nature entirely, ns nut- urully as a duck does to water, and never soars into the filmy regions of fiction for subjects upon which to exercise his pen. Wo doubt not, if he wero culled upon now for a contribution, it would be something to science, and not to romunce probably af ter this order: " Fe.i So.tr.

Kightliiiger had m' tlud from his roost, and, supposing it was sol1 full grown man, set a gun, loaded witlisliof, in such manner that the opening of the door lending to his chicken-coop would pull tb trL'gc r. The gun was aimed so as lo hi' an adult in tho legs. About eight o'clock in the evening, young Cox, with other boys, was passing Kightlinger's. Cox proposed to go in and get some chickens and sell l the Chinamen. The other boys declined to do so they any, but young C. went is. On openins the irn to he received the con tents of the (run inst above the bins, makinf 0 ghastly wound, carrying in wadding sod nil. The lui! survived several hours, in great pain, nnd died durinir the night. Tbe occurrence is a most pninl'ul ono to all V' ties.
