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

nt Liberty, Missouri, toga deadly wrap- ply to tho Colonel's " take back" 'Icmnnd

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

old Morgan's (a Republican officer) d d

he would. He bristled up to officer Ilule,
made n pass at him, and fell headlong on
tho Semite floor mortally wounded ' in the

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.

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:
