THE earth down South is a good
deal like this administration mighty
shaky.
BHICK POMEROY , who is undoubted
authority in the matter , says , "You
could no more run a democrat in this
city ( New York ) without whisky , than
you could run h 1 without fire. "
WE see it stated that Supt. Thomp
son , of the B. & 31. , has withdrawn
his objections to the "Older of Brake
man , " and that the course is liable to
become general over the Burlington
lines. This will place the order on
much more favorable footing than I
heretofore. I
IT is not a secret that the bo'ard pf I
public lands and buildings disapproves '
of the conduct of affairs at the hospital
for the insane. Its members are tak
ing testimony in relation to recent oc
currences , and at the meeting on the
6th , next Tuesday , some interesting
developments are expected. It is a
neat little row. Lincoln Democrat.
IT is now pretty well settled that the '
blunders of Bayard in the Cutting af- ,
fair were the result of a desperate in
tention to embroil the country in a war
with Mexico on any pretext that might
present itself , and that the reason the j
secretary took the back track at last , j
was not because he saw that his posi-1
tion was legally untenable , but that he
saw in a few davs that he had miscal
culated the temper of the people and' '
that he could not dragoon them into a '
useless aad unjust war with a friend- ,
ly neighbor for purposes of conquests. ,
The people of the United States want
no mo e territory , peopled with a race
unprepared for the institutions of this '
country. Such territory woud ] be a j
source of weakness and not of stiength. |
It would require a great expensive
standing army to keep it in order ,
and be a source of endless trouble in
carrying out the details of government ,
whether a territorial c ? state form was
preserved in the conquered states.
State Journal.
IN criticising lion. James Blaine's
recent speech at Seba < ro , Maine , Har
per's "Weekly drops this morsel of
uiugwumpianism : "The speech cer
tainly does not show , as its introduc
tion suggests , that parlies were never
more earnestly and actually and irrec
oncilably divided than now. On the
.contrary , we believe that never for a
generation , since the slavery issue be
came sharply defined , has there been
so general and so intelligent a feeling
of political independence a ? now. That
independence does not deny the neces
sity of parties to enforce differing pol
icies. But it denies that the parties
now represent distinctive policies upon
the questions which are really para
mount. "
B. 3J. Burley , proprietor of the Burley
House , Belle Plaine , Iowa , relates his exper
ience asfollows : "IhavehadtLeopporruniry
of testing the merits of Chamberlain's Colic ,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy in several in
stances in severe and danperous cases of
cholera morbus. From my experience in the
use of this medicine I can recommend it with
pleasure. Every one traveling should have
it and no family should be without it" ' Sold
