Strategetic. ¡¡hi1 jiimwtnitw ®iws T he genius who strnddles.tlre editorial tri. pod of the Roseburg Ensign, makes an assol himself in this wise : The Democratic News accuses us of “pre dieting’’ the death of the Democratic party. We do no «uch absurd thing. ’ It ¡8 one o( the presumptions in law, that “a person not heard from in seven years, is dead.” It lias been ten years since the Democratic party has been “heard from,” as a national organ Uation, therefore ifc -is leasenably supposed to be dead. A “prediction” of its demise would be simply ridiculous. - > • s , It appears that the Ensign man don’t read election returns to much advantage. “The Democratic parly as a national organization dead for ten years!” Good joke! Mr. En­ sign, “now—aw—weully you know,” don’t you think, that it was quite an active corpse in Connecticut, Pennsylvania, New York, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, and California ; not to say New Jersey and Maryland last year? And Mr. Ensign, don’t you think, for a corpse, that it was rather too lively for your political brethren to bury two years ago, in Oregon? [Aud further, Mr. Ensign, —“no1 to put too fine a point upon it,”—don’t you apprehend thqt.it will be a disagreeably live ly corpse this year in Oregon? A*»k George HI, surnamed “Coolie Williams” if he don’t wish it was a trifle ‘deader,’ than it is? Ah ! Mr. Ensign, your party will never play the undertaker for ours j and although you may live to a green old age, and be a much wiser man than you are now, your pen will never be employed in writing its epitaph.
