HIS article has been thoroughly tested by builders, Architects, and Others, and the experience ot'ycars has proved it to be the cheapest and most durable roofing in use. We call attention to the following facts : lst—It is fire and water proof. Sci—From its great elasticity it is not inju- riously affected by extremes of heat and cold. 3d———It is adapted to all kinds of Roofs, whether steep or flat, and is not in want of constant repairs, as is the case with metal and other roofs. . 4th—The cost is only about One-Half that of Tin, and it is twice as durable. It is readily applied to Old Shingle Roofs, without removing the shingles, which is a great dcsideratum to parties who do not wish to risk having their ceilings and furniture ru- ined, while repairs are being made. Leaky Tin and Metal Roofs are readily rc- paircd with Gutta Percha Cement, and prevented from further corrosion and leaking thereby insuring a perfectly water-tight roof for manyyears. _ Specimens of the Roofing can be seen by calling on the subscriber, at South Norwalk. All orders by letter will receive prompt at- tention. D. F. HUNT, South Norwalk. INSURANCE.

We had a little pet, so bright and passing fair ; To our devoted hearts, so like a thing of air: We did not speak of her as of earthly things, But called her “Little Angel,” our angel, without wings. She danced about our hearthstone, she dandled on our knee, Prattling from morn till night, brlmful of childish glee. , Her smile might be to others,iis other childish things, But to us, ’twas an angel’s smile—our angel’s, with- out wings. We did not know the sound, but wondered at the power Which struck the chords so deep, in childhood’s early hour; We clasped her to our bosom with fear which fond- ness brings, And called her “Angel baby,” our angel, without wings. “Mamie get her wings, Papa”-—the angel said, dny— . “Mamie be an angel, if Papa go away X" We clasped her to our bosom, as love in danger clings ; . “0 God,” we cried, “preserve Thou, our angel with- out wings.” one Trustfuily, we left her with kisses to begulle, The findings of yearning hearts ’monishing the while, ' As of careless hands, unbidden, stirring secret springs- So tremblingly we left her, our angel, without wings. Brightly the sun shone, more brightly still she smiled ; Happy was the live-long day ; happier the child ; Now weary with her gambols. still cheer-fly she sings. “I want to be an angel,"—our angel, without wings. Gentle spirits listen to songs of heaven on earth, Gentle spirits come down to give her spirit birth, So out, upon the noon day, her mortal robes, she flings, And Mamie is an Angel 1 an angel, now, with wings.

A certain M. C. died, leaving an express order to his heirs that he should be buried in church, and a handsome sum paid to the priests on condition that “nobody should laugh while the service was going on.” The intelligent defunct had ob- served that undeitakers and priests permit themselves very often to take hilarous liber- ties with death, and he was determined that he should be buried with the gravity appro- priate to the grave. Of course, the odd re- quest got noised abroad; all the village came to the funeral; and everybody keeping an eye on everybody else to see that nobody should so much as wink, the natural result followed. A fat priest near the coffin was the first to break down ; the choir boys, in the frailty of their youth, followed the priest; the minor canons, trying to stop the choir boys, or at least to make them “laugh out of the wrong side of their mouths," caught the contagion, and began to shake their sides; the deacons went off next into a full gufi'uw ; and finally the cure himself was conquered and choked in his handkerchief. In short, a merrier in- terment was never witnessed. It was the joke of the season. But the heirs, not liking the sport, have refused to pa the clergy for their rollicking services, an the matter is now in court, where it will doubtless cease to be a laughing matter to anybody but the lawyers. .40.» “Run DID IT !”—Lewis and Sam D———, a couple of residents ofLong Island, who loved rum and hated snakes, some time since went down to the salt marsh to mow. They hung their scythes, and were abou tacommence work, when Lewis propos to Sam .that they should take a drink of the quart provi~ (led for the occasion. Sam agreed, of course, and as it was a hot day, and a hard task was before them, they concluded to rest awhile under the shade of a. tree, and then take an- other drink in order to get on readily. The bottle had passed twu or three times, when Sam said to Lewis, “Let's drink the darned stuff up, and we won’t be hankering after it." It was a bargain, and betwoen the two the balance was soon disposed of. A pause en- sued : Lewis rose to his feet, threw his scythe over his shoulder, declaring, “I’ll be darned if I mow without rum.” “Dar-nod if I will either, says Sam, and with that they shoul- Fl'om “ SambeIls ofJutldnd.” SOMETHING. BY HANS CHRISTIAN ANDERSEN. “I will be something,” said the oldest of five brothers; “ I will be of use in the world let the position be ever so insignificant which I may fill. If it be only respectable, it will be something I will make bricks people can’t do without these—and then I shall have done something” “ But something too trifling,” said the sec- ond brother. “What you propose to do is much the same as doing nothing; it is no better than a hodman’s work, and can be done by machinery. You had much better become a mason. That is something, and that is what I will be. Yes, that is a. good trade. A mason can get intoa trade’s corpo- ration, become a burgher, have his own col- ors and his own club. Indeed, if‘ I prosper, I may have workmen under me, and be call- ed ‘Master,’ and my wife “Mistress ;’ and that would be something." “That is next to nothing,” said the third. “There are many classes in a town, and that is about the lowest. It is nothing to be call- ed ‘Master.’ You might be very superior yourself; but as a master-mason you would be only what is called ‘a common man.’ I know of something better. I will be an ar- chitect; enter upon the confines of science: work myself up to a high place in the king- dom of mind. I know I must begin at the foot of the ladder. I can badly bear to say it—I must begin as a carpenter's apprentice; and wear a cap, though I have been accus- tomed to go about in a silk hat. I must run to fetch beer and spirits for the common workmen, and let them be ‘ hail fellow Well met‘ with me. This will be disagreeable; but I will fancy that it is all a masquerade and the-freedom of maskers. To-morrow— that is to say, when I am a. journeyman—I will go my own way. The others will not join me. I shall go to the academy, and learn to draw and design; then I shah be an architect. That is something! That is much I may become ‘honorable,’ or even ‘noble’— perhaps both. I shall build and build, as others have done before me. There is some thing to look forward to—something worth being!” “But that something I should not care about," said the fourth; “I will not march in the wake of anybody. I will not be a copyist; I will be a genius—will be cleverer than you all put together. I shall create a new style, furnish ideas for a building adapted to the climate and materials of the country—some- thing which shall be a nationality, :1 develop- ment of the resources of our age, and at the same time, an exhibition of my own genius.” “But if by chance the climate and the ma- terials did not suit each other," said the fifth, “that would be unfortunate for fie result.— Natioualities may be so amph ed as to be- come affectation. The discover of the age, like youth, may leave you far behind. I per- ceive right well that none of you will, in real- ity, become anything, whatever may be your expectations. But do all of you what you ' please; I shall not follow your examples, I shall keep myself disengaged, and shall rea- son upon what you perform. There is some- thing wrong in everything. I will pick that out, and reason upon it. That will be some- thing.” And so he did; and people said of the fifth “He has not settled to anything. He has a good head, but he does nothing.” , Even this, however, made him something. This is but a short history; yet it is one which will not end as long as the world stands. But is there nothing more about the five brothers ? What has been told is absolutely nothing. 2 . Hear further ; it is quite a. romance. The eldest brother, who made bricks, per- ceived that from every stone, when it was finished, rolled a small coin; and though these little coins were but of copper, many of them heaped together became a silver dollar; and when one knocks with such at the ba- - ker’s, the butcher’s, and other shops, the doors fly open, and one gets what one wants. The bricks produced all this. The damaged and broken bricks were also made good use of. Yonder, above the embankment, Mother Margrethe, a poor old woman, wanted to build a small house for herself. . She got all the broken bricks, and some whole ones to boot; for the eldest brother had a good heart The poor woman built her house herself. It 'was very small; the only window was put in awry, the-door was very low, and the thatch- ed roof might have been laid better; but it was at least a shelter and a cover for her.— There was a fine view fiom it of the sea, which broke in its might against the eml'iauk- ment. The salt spray often dashed over the whole tiny house, which still stood there when he was dead andgonc who had given the bricks. The second brother could build in another way. He was also clever in his business.— When his apprenticeship was over he strap-_ ped on his knapsack, and sang the mechan- ic’s-soug: “ While young, far-distant lauds I'll tread Away from home to build, M handiwork shall win my bread, y heart with hope be filled, And when my fatherlaud I see, And meet m bride—hum! An active wor man I shall be: Then who so happy and gay 1’" And he was that. When he returned to his native town, and became a master, he built house after house—a whole street. It was a very handsome one, and a great orna- ment to the town. These houses built for him a small house,which wastobc his own. But how could the houses build? Ay, ask them that, and they will not answer you; but people will answur for them, and tell you. “It certainly was that street which built him a house.” It was only a small one to be sure, and with a clay floor; but when he and his bride danced on it the floor he came polished and bright, and flour every stone in the wall sprang a flower which was quite as good as any costly tapestry. It was a pleasant house, and they were a happy couple. The colors of the mason's company floated outside, and the journeyman and ap- prentices shouted ‘-Hurra l" Yes, that was something; and so he died—and that was also something. Then came the architect, the third brother, who had been first a carpenter‘s apprentice, wearing a cap and going errands; but, on l‘ving the academy, rose to be an architect, and he became a man of consequence. Yes, if the houses in the street, built by his broth- ahom N the last steamer. At be a ' ‘ ' pprecrated. A. JACKSON .2 BR0. 0. s.

That was something; and he was somebody, , with along, high sounding title besides. His children were called people of quality, and when he died his widow was a widow of rank—that was something. And his name stooda. fixture at the corner of the street and was often in folks’ mouths, being the name of a street—and that was certainly something. Next came the genius—the fourth brother —who was to devote himself to new inven- tions. In one of his ambitious attempts he fell, and broke his neck; but he had a splen- did funeral, with a procession, and flags, and music. He was noticed in the newspapers, and three funeral orations were pronounced over him, the one longer than the others; and much delighted he would have been with them if he had heard them, for he was fond of being talked about. A monument was erected over his grave. It was not very grand, but a monument is always something- He now was dead, as well as the three oth- er brothers; but the fifth—he who was fond of reasoning or arguing—outlived them all; and that was quite right, for he had thus the last word. And he thought it a matter of great importance to have the last word. It was he who, folks said, “had a good head.” At length his last hour also struck. He died and he arrived at the gate of the kingdom of heaven. Spirits always come there two and two, and along with him stood there another soul, which wanted also to get in, and this was no other than the old Mother Margrethe from the house on the embankment. “ It must surely be for'the sake of contrast that I and you paltry soul should come here at the same moment,” said the reasoner.—— “Why who are you, old one ? Do you also expect to enter here f’lheZasked. And the old woman courtesied as well as she could. She thought it was St. Peter himself who spoke. “I am a miserable old creature, without any family. My name is Margrethe.” “Well, now, what have you done and ef- fected down yonder ?” “I have effected scarcely anything in you- der world—nothing that can tell in my favor here. It will be a pure act of mercy if I am permitted to enter this gate.” “How did you leave you world?” he asked merely for something to say. He was tired of standing waiting there. “Oh! how I left it I really do not know.— I had been very poorly, often quite ill, for some years past, and I was not able latterly to leave my bed, and go out into the cold and frost. It was a very severe winter; but I was getting through it. For a couple of days there was a dead calm; but it was bitterly cold, as your honor may remember. The ice had remained so long on the ground, that the sea was frozen over as far as the eye could reach. The townspeople flocked in crowds to the ice. I could hear it all as I lay in my poor room. The same scene continued till late in the evening—till the moon rose. From my bed I could see through the window far out beyond the sea-shore; and there lay on the horizon, just where the sea and sky seem- ed to meet, a singular-looking white cloud.— I lay and looked at it; looked at the black spot in the middle of it, which became larger; and I knew what that betokened, for I was old and experienced, though I had not often seen that sign. I saw it and shuddered.— Twice before in my life had I seen that strange appearance in the sky, and I knew that there would be a terrible storm at the spring-tide, which .would burst over the poor people out upon the ice, who were now drinking and rushing about, and amusing themselves.— Young and old—the whole town, in fact—- were assembled yonder. Who was to warn them of coming danger, if none of them ob- served or know what I now preceived? I become so alarmed, so anxious, that I got out of my bed, and crawled to the window. I was incapable of going further; but I put up the window, and on looking out, I could see the people skating and sliding and running on the ice. I could see the gay flags, and could hear the boys shouting harm, and the girls and the young men singing in chorus. All - was jollity and merrimeut there. But higher and higher arose the white cloud, but nobody heard me. I was too far away from them.— The wind would soon break loose, the ice give way, and all upon it sink, without any chance of rescue. Hear me they could not and for me to go to them was impossible.— Was there nothing that I could do to bring them back to land! Then our Lord inspired me with the idea of setting fire to my bed; it would be better that-my house were to be burned down, than that the many should meet with such a miserable death. Then I kindled the fire. I saw the red flames, and I gained the outside of the house; but Iremain- ed lying there. I could do no more, for my strength was exhausted. The blaze pursued me—it burst from the window, and out upon the roof. The crowds on the ice perceived it and they came running as fast as they could to help me—a poor wretch—whom they thought would be burned in my bed. It was was not one or two only who came—they all came. I heard them coming; but I also heard all at once the shrill whistle, the loud roar of the wind. I heard it thunder like the report of a cannon. The spring-tide lifted the ice, and suddenly it broke asunder; but the crowd had reached the embankment, where the sparks were flying over me. I. had been the means of saving them all; but I was not able to survive the cold and fright, and so I have come up here to the gate of the kingdom of heaven; but I am told it is lock- ‘ed against such poor creatures as I. And now I have no longer a home down yonder on the embankment, though that does not iii- sure me any admittance here.” At that moment the gate of heaven was opened, and an angel took the old woman in. She dropped a straw; it was one of the pieces of straw which had stuffed the bed to which she had set fire to save the lives of many, and it had turned to pure gold that was flex- ible, and turned itself into pretty shapes. “ See! the poor old woman brought this,” said the angel, “What dost thou bring ?— Ah! I know well ; thou hast done nothing— not even so much as make a brick. If thou couldst go back again, and bring only so much as that, if done .with good intentions, it would be something; as thou wouldst do it, however, it would be of no avail. But thou caust not go back, and I can do nothing fo thee." . ' Then the poor soul, the old woman from the house on the embankment, begged for “ Ilia brother kindly gave me all the stones with which I built my humble dwelling.— They were a great gift to a poor creaturclikc me. May not all these stones and fragments be permitted to value as one brick for him? It was a deed of mercy. He is now in want, and this is Mercy‘s home.” . “Thy brother, whom thou didst think the most inferior to thyself—him whose honest business thou didst despise—shares with thee his heavenly portion. Thou shalt not be or- dered away; thou shalt have leave to remain outside here to think over and to repent thy life down yonder; but within this gate thou hast performed swimming.” “1 could have expressed that sentence bet- ter,” thought the conceited logician; but he did not say this aloud, and that was surely already—soMETIIING. «.>.o-—-—--—- Campaign Items. —-\Ir. Ebenezer Jayne, keeper of Life Sa- ving Station, No. 19, on the coast of Long Island, received notice from Secretary Cobb a few days ago that his services would be required no longer. The following answer was returned to Mr. Cobb, by Mr. Jayne: Sm: I take this public method of thanking you for your zeal in proscribiiig members of theDemocratic party who have the manly independence to speak and act for them- selves. I have been quite enough disgraced by holding oflice under a nigger driving ad- ministration, and have therefore much rea- son to congratulate you upon my remo- val. Meantime, however, you wrl please take notice that the freemen, (not slaves) of whom I am one, have come to the Wise con- clusion to dispense with your services next November. You willthcrcfore hold yourself in readidncss to make your exit on the 4th of March next, at 12 o’clock, noon. 7" Very respectfully yours, EBENEZER JAYNE. -—-A subscriber writes to the New York Journal ofCommercc the following encour- aging item Of political information from Maine :— . “Politically this State is all for Douglas and sure for incoln. I hope you will press successfully that question of joint tickets.” —;—“0ccasional” of the Phil. Press says: The result of the elections in Kentucky and Missouri consternatc the administration. The President professes to be indignant; but he is glad. He is by no means indignant that the young Vice should have been over- thrown. Hc now sees the triumph of his sublimated philosophy, and is gratified that in leaving the Presidency in 1860, he has dc- prived any Democrat of the honor of being his successor. Mr. Douglas, in a recent speech at Bur— lington, Vt, made a casual allusion to the privations and labors of a settler . in a new country, one who has to make his own fenc- es and “split his own rails." The Burlington Free Press says : “This incidental application brought out a hearty and general round of‘ acclammation from all over the house, which told the speak- cr at once where he was, and that his assem- bly in the main had their hearts on Abraham Lincoln, and not on Stephen A. Douglas.“ ——-A minister in Illinois has been mobbed for preaching a political sermon. The fa- natical hypocrite was served exactly right.— If a man dcsecrates his pulpit by making a. stump speech in it, and insults a portion of his hearers thereby, it is perfectly proper for ohein to treat him as he deserves. It is high time the clerical politicians of this country were taught decency.——-1Ibrmor. WPure Democratic doctrine that, and undefilcd. -——A correspondent writes the Cincinnati Gazette, from Howard County, Ind, as fol- lows: ' ' The Douglas Democrats are very sick in consequence of the great “fizzle” at Indian- apolis on on the 18th. I heard a leading man tell the conductor on the Peru and Iii- dianapolis Railroad to bring plenty of cars; for, said be, “there will be five hundred go from this place.” But 10 and behold, on the arrival of the train, their “cxulting millions" were dwindled down to seventeen. Their fear is now that the Breckenridge meeting on the 2lst will so far excel theirs of the 18th, that they will be known no more. COMING OVER nv Scouts—Says the Pcori Ill. Transcript: “A gentleman from one of our neighbor- ing townships was in our office yesterday, and informed us that in his township two years ago the Republicans cast only fourteen votes, but he will now pledge it for fifty for “Old Abe" the coming fall. Mr. Henry IcGraw, who owns the coal beds opposite ekin, has in his employ ten men, all of whom were formerly Democrats. Eight of them, however, believing “01d Abe” to be the working man’s friend, intend to give him their votes at the approaching elcc- tion; and not to be outdone by any of their neighbors, they went to the woods the other day, and prepared a pole one hundred and eight feet long, which they intend to raise short y. The occasion of cutting and prcpa: ring the pole is said to have becfionc of great enthusiasm. ——At a Republican meeting in Manltowoc, (Wis) recently, one of the speakers exhibited a cop of a handbill fora democratic meeting in 1 9, when Nelson Dewey was the condi- datc for Governor, William A: Barstow for Secretary of State, Col. Fairchild of Madison for Treasurer, and S. Park Coon for Attor- ney General. The following were among the lines in big capitals: :‘orrosrrrox To SLAVERY EXTENSION!” “NO irons SLAVE STATES l” “OPPOSITION To BANKS AND BANKING INSTI- TUTIONS !" What a difference between the Democracy of 1848 and 1860! —At a Republican mass meeting in Clin- ton. Ill., a few days since, Hon. Richard Oglesby made a speech from which we make the following extract, and commend it to the perusal of Henry _y Whigs: “One reason w I wont vote for Douglas is his former abuse of‘ Clay, I have heard him call that great man a horse—racer, a gain: bier, a duellist, an abolitionist, a receiver of bribes and an infamous demagogue. . [Hisscs and groans for Douglas] Now he 15 Impu- dent enough to go about preaching funeral sermons over the dead statesman, But his slanders of Clay alive were nothing to his slauders of Clay dead. He has lately gone so far as to say that the princ1ples advocated by the illustrious Kentuckian were the same as his. [Cheers and laughter.] I can never forgive him that. WHAT THE DEMOCRATS ARE FOIL—Some are for reviving the foreign slave trade; some for a Congressional slave code for the _tem- tories; some for forbidding the territories to prohibit slavery Within their limits ;. some for maintaining slavery in the territories through the judiciary; some for the ‘gur— rcat pur-rinciple’ (laughter) that ‘If one man would enslave another no third man should should object.’ fantastically called ‘popular sovereignty,’ (renewed laughter and ap- plause)—but never a man among them. in favor of f ideral prohibition of slavery '.“ fed: eral territories, according to the practice of our fathers, who framed the government un- der which we live—Abraham; Lincoln. —-+The Philadelphia Press explains why :i. Douglas electoral ticket has not yet been put in nomination in Pennsylvania. The Doug- las members of the State Executive Commit- tee have been instructed to demand from that body a new State Convention, composed of delegates fresh from the people. ——b—A clever correspondent of the Milwaukie Sentinel writes of an incident on the Hudsmi River Railroad in this wise. An old man sat by his side, and finally addressinghim, the Milwaukian said: “Sir, you seem ‘to have travelled a great distance?" “Yes; some two thousand miles.” “All, indeed. What part of the West ?" “lows, Illinois, Wisconsin.” - “Then you can express an opinionias to the result of the Presidential canvass in those States." “No, I can't. I. might have done sobefore I lcfthomc, but, now that I have got back, I confess I don‘t know anything about ' .” “Don’t you find the sentiment verygtrong for Lincoln?" “Yes, sentiment indeed rather than sense. The Republicans enlist all the sentiment- they are a. sentimental set,” Seeing that I was: more amused than surprised, he contin- ued: “Set: here, I‘ll tell you. I am 60 years old. I have, raised a family Offour boys, and raised them in the orthodox Democratic fiith. Fif- teen years ago my boy John went to Illinois, and voted tlll'Dt‘HlOCi‘fltlc ticket regularly.— I did well with John, and helped him stock his farm :llltl‘pfly off his mortgage. He was a. smart boy—was John. Well sir, when that debate between Douglas and Lincoln was raging in Illinois, John got a crochet in his head and became a Republican. It was a hard blow for me, I tell you. Well, Phil. grew up, and'I set him up in Des Moines, bought him a quarter section and told him to get married. Phil. did well, but the first thing I heard was that he was a Republican, and the young scamp tried to convert me by writing long letters about the Kansas muss, etc. I talked prett sharp to both of them but they voted for remont in spite of me. But there was Roger and Dan both at. home yet, and I felt sure they would never desert the faith of their father. I set Roger up in Iowa, alongside his brother, with a faint hope he might reclaim him. And Dan went off to llock County, Wisconsin; and a. year ago I found out, Sir, that R0 1- was publishing a Republican paper, and anwas making speeches for a. ‘Republican governor in Wisconsin. It nearly broke my heart,'but what could I do? The boys said they now saw the error of votinv for Buchanan. ’Well Sir, a few months ago made up my mind to go west myself, for the first time in my life, and see about things. I did go west, and I happened to hear Douglas make a speech while I was away from _home. You ‘ may not believe it sir, but I’m goin home now, and I don’t know whetherI am a Demo- crat or a Republican myself." Tthprlngflcld Republican says thatJames Buchanan deserves the terrible punishment that he is already receiving :—thc almost universal detestation and contempt of all parties—even the slave power regarding him “no more than the lemon peel in last night’s glasses—a stale, flavorless article soon to be thrown out of the window." But this abuse of the “old public functionary,” implies too much of self righteousness on the part of the countless abpsers in his own party. They stuck to him and defended his admmi' 'stration through all theiiniquity that gave him the character which they truly describe : So, if President Buchanan deserves to go out of office. the democratic party deserves to go out of power. They have sailed in the same boat ; they have connived at and shared in the same corruptions; they have equally favored the extension ofslavery into territo- ries; and they are responsible tooether for the national discord that reigns. t is this that should not be fbi‘gottcn by the true lov- ers of the country when they see the old friends of'Mr. Buchanan turning against him. It is very pleasant to read such letters asthat qi‘Mr. Snuiulcrs, because it is full of very se- vere truth ; but if Mr. Saunders had never been turned out of office, we should not have had tliclcttcr. ,W‘e should like to know at what time Mr. Saunders and all those demo- ocrats whojoiii in the denunciation of the President repented of their sins. We are not aware that. they protested against the Presi- dent‘s course with relation to Gov. Walker, but they knew it—it was notorious. It is too late to find fault with it now. Rumor points to a further change in the Chicago newspaper Press—which is that the Press and Tribune is to swallow up its weak- er rival, the Evening Journal. The two Democratic papers, the Times and Herald, having been brought together, this next change will reduce the daily Press to three in number, to be further reduced to two when the Democrat shall have sufficiently served the personal purposes of John Went- worth, who supports it now out of his own pocket. The Press and Tribune will then be the mammoth concern of the North-West. It is said that Mr. McCormick gave $65,000 for the‘ Times, which is a stunnin r-big price but so long as liis“rcapers" pay e can af- ford to throw away spare change on politics. ' The consolidation of these two offices, (the Times and Herald,) is at the sacrifice of the ‘ entire corps of the former, from editor to newsboy. The editor of the La Crossc Union and Democrat has bet with the editor of the Re- public:iii,0i' that place, that Douglas will carry Wisconsin and Illinois. The pen have all been made out and deposited in the bank, and ii‘ the Republican editor wins, he is to take all the material in the Democratic office. On the other hand, if the Democrat. ic editor wins, the Republican editor loses his office, This betting is bad business, but we think the republican editor has the best of the game this time. A Goon CANDIDTE FOR. DonoLxs MEN.— Herschel V. Johnson, the candidate for Vice President on the ticket with Douglas, said: “We believe that Capitol should own Labor” -——that is, that Laborers ought to be slaves in- stead of freeincn. Isn’t he a good democrat ? Ought not every man to vote for him ? Let them shout for the man who believes that Laborers ought to be owned by their bosses. So TIIEv Go.—The last Iowa State Re- porter, published at Iowa City, decidedly the ablcst and most influential Democratic jour- nal in the State, announces that it wm next week drop the names of Douglas and John- son, and thereafter give an enthusiastic sup- port tollincoln and Hamlin. wi‘tlliuling to the efforts of the Breckin- ridgv and Douglas Democrats, and the Bell- evercti in New York, to form a. succotash electoral ticket, the. Albany Evening Journal says:—- . _ . A pressure Is Indispensable to a full de- ,VL’lOplllCllLOilllC power of the republican party. A perfect union of all the factions hostile to republicans in this state, would not so much as cast a shadow across our path to victory. The only doubt which any Sagacious observer has felt. ofthc result, has arisen from the four of the apathy which might arise from the consciousness that, distracted, the Democracy were too impotent to justify an earnest contest.
