WATCH THEM.

We invite the attention of every member of the Fusion parly, who, as a Democrat, formerly opposed the principles of the old Whig party, to read the editorial in the fourth column of the last Journal. We caonot designate the article with more certainty, as, from the cowardice of the writer, it has no heading. Its subject, how-•j-'*s aver, is the U. S. Bank. In that way and shape, the editor indites an article in favor

what he correctly calls "the ghost." If he stood alone in this matter, we would not •ay a word about it but he is assisting, to the best of his very limited ability, several of the leading Fusion presses of the State, in an attempt to revive and foist that monster monopoly upon the people of the Union. With such evidence as this before them, sufficient certainly to convince any sane man of the h}*pocricy of the new formation, how can a Democrat of the old or mew line cling to the idol that is rotting in his arms! Come out from among them, for conscience sake!

5.- THE FUSION MEASURES. A lawyer by the name of Anthony was electcd judge of the Wayne Circuit Court.

He was a man of tolerable abilities, and unimpeachable integrity. Unluckily his politics trere Democratic. Certain great gnnsof the Fusionist party of Wwync and the surrounding aboliiion counties, determined to oust him, with no other wject than to make room for some one of their own faithful. So they introduced a bill into the House and destroyed the circuit over which he presided. The Judge was not permitted to be heard in his defence. The whole proceeding was ex parte from the beginning, and totally destitute of impartiality. This is among the first purely Fusion measures passed by the House. We

knows there is very little difference between the same parties in the several states—at least, that there is little difference between the Fusion parly in Indiana and Iowa.— Then take the following incident, and if let us really sec which party has adopted the motto of "Rule or Ruin."

In the Senate of Iowa, as in Indiana, there is a majority of Democrats. On the 6th of Jan., after the Senate had adjourned, fourteen Fusion Senators sneaked into the House, and, a motion for the purpose being made, the Fusionists of the House, with the

fourteen Senators, went into the election

for U. S. Senator, and triumphantly elected

James Harlan to that distinguished posi-

-jtion. On the 8th inst. the Senate, by a jf0ij,jng(

EARL NINGAMPOOP—A SCENE. Every silting of the Legislature has its funny scenes, but we'll bet our boots against a Know Nothing charter, that one more ridiculous than the following has not taken! place this winter.

Scene. House of Representative!—organizing the body—members being sworn in— Clerk calling the counties.

Clerk. Montgomery county. Earl. Here, sir. Clerk. Your papers. .1 Earl. What papers? Sir, I am a native born citizen.

Clerk. I mean your credentials, Mr. Earl. Earl. Oh, my diploma! Sorry to say, I havu't any—I'm a self-made physician— no thanks to anybody. (Laughter—cries of "Stick to him, Dr.")

Clerk. You mistake again, sir. I want your certificate of election. (Member from Montgomery looks bilious, and fumbles into his pockets.)

Earl. Really, Mr. Clerk—beg pardon —really I didn't know it was necessary— thought everybody knew that I was elected—anybody dispute it, sir, I'll knock him into fits.

Clerk. If you have no certificate, sir, you cannot be sworn in. Very sorry, sir. Earl. There is no use a talkin' that way. I'll swear that I was elected.

Clerk. Impossible—we must have the certificate of your clerk. Earl. What's the use? Just swear me —I'm a anti-Nebraska, Prohibition, first class Whig.

Clerk shakes his head— whole House gathers round to see the fun.) Not? Then, by hokies, I've got a Locomotive—here it is with the official returns from Montgomery. Any man with hvo eyes can see thai I beat Tom Wilson over a hundred voles. (Earl pulls a dirty paper from hit pocket, sternly unfolds it, and spells out the heading of all the articles until he comes to one entitled "Election.") Here it is, Mr. Clerk. It astonished me—

Now what think the people of the Fusionists of Iowa? and is not this a better instance by which to judge the Fusiouists of Indiana than by any action of the old Whig party? The Senate of that State solemnly resolves that they had no knowledge of and did not participate in the election of Mr. Harlan. Fourteen desperate Fusionists, determining to "rule or ruin," without notice to the majority, slink into the House, and go into the election of the Iowa Senator, and vet a striped, half-abolitionizededit-or of the same partv coolly tnrns around and charges the Democracy of Indiana with the ^st issue of his paper with even more than will to rule or ruin. May we not exclaim common absurdity.

M^as e\er anything more important character remains unattended to. Upon the House of Representatives the blame must fall.

THE CAMPAIGN OP FIFTY-FIVE. If one had predicted to us on the NewYear's day of Fifty-Four that the NewYear's day of Fifty-Five would behold Europe so far advanced towards universal convulsion—and nothing short of universal convulsion will break upnhe despotic status quo,—we should have refused for very joy, fully to believe so blessed a prophecy.— Within less than one year the French usurper who flatters himself that he is the nephew of his uncle, the perjurer of Paris and murderer of Rome,—and the she-tyrant of Ireland, who has slain more of her own "subjects" by famine than she will ever slay of her enemies by war, have broken their teeth against the granite fortresses of Russia have utterly and ignominiously failed in everything they have undertaken, have impoverished and provoked their own people, and grown mutually disgusted with one another. The Czar feels his ftrength, and laughs them to scorn: the pettiest sovereigns of Europe are afraid to ally with them: Denmark has denied them a single spot of ground as a shelter for their sick Sweden has refused their proffered present of the Aland Islss: and the bragging, cantinggovernment of England which commenced the war with such loud vaunts, is already reduced to hire foreign mercenaries to fight her battles—if she can get them.

The condition of things at Sevastopol continues to be highly satisfactory to all the enemies of the English Oligarchy and the French Empire. The siege suspended, or rather reversed—the only assailants now being the Russians: the fortifications of the city strengthened four-fold since the "siege" commenced the roads open for any amount of reinforcements coming from Russia the English cavalry horses utterly useless and dying of hardships: fleets of ships bearing their reinforcements and supplfcs sunk and scattered by Russia's allies, the Black Sea storms: the funds sinking: and, last and best, of all the "alliance"—shaking—such is the upshot of one year's campaign.

The French are growing savagely discontented as well they may not with the war but with their fatal allies and their dandy Emperor. The muzzle press of Paris cannot tell the whole truth about matters in France, and the British journals for the most part wilfully suppress all about their dear ally that is to the interest of the British government to suppress There are exceptions. For example, the People's Paper, published in London and edited by Ernest Jones, now and then reports the premonitory subterranean grow lings of the earthquake on both sides of the channel. From a number of that journal, received by last mail, we learn that there have been insurrectionary organized movements from Rouen to Marseilles, and thai actual fighting had taken place between thf people and the hireling troops of the Emperor.

The French arc rightly served: it was impious to ally themselves with their ancient eternal enemy: it was insanity to hope for one moment that the disaster of their great Napoleon at Moscow would be avenged by the small Napoleon at Sevastopol.— Accordingly, it is not surprising to hear that the war, that is the alliance, has grown unpopular in France that the French officers in the Crimea have long been grumbling at the inefficient support given them by the handful of English with their decrepkl commander and their ignorant officers while the latter suppercil'ious gentlemen call the French officers low, because they converse «vith privates and sergeants. Matters evidently tend to a break up of that disgraceful aiitrt.nce and in the mere hope of satisfying the French, the British government desperately rushc-S into the questionable measure of supplying tbtir own lack of military material by hiring German troops.

Now, as to the hiring of German iroops, although pretended precedents are cited tor it, the measure is almost wholly unprecedented. When Hanoverian troops were taken into British pay, Hftnover was ruled by a King of England: when in the great wars of Napoleon the forces of petty German principalities were subsidized, those states themselves were concerned in the war, and were fighting their own battles as much as England's. Consider how the case is altered now. Prussia, the predominant German power of the North, is wholly Russian,—Austria, Vhich spreads over the south, is doing Russia's work now passively, will shortly be doing it actively: and it is doubtful whether any of the smaller states, even if so disposed, will dare to act independently of those two Powers, so far as to lend their forces. And they are not so disposed. Tl' ere is not one of them that is not more afraid of revolution than of England or France: and whether right or wrong, they imagine that Russia, Austria and Prussia are the best safeguards against revolution.

If the English have recourse to Hesse Cassel, whence they once drew such hordes of cut-throats to murder their colonists in America and their revolted "subjects" of Ireland, the prospect is bad. In 1849} Hesse Cassel was in revolution—the population of every German State is always, ready for revolution: and the Serene High-1 ness who pretends to govern there was only

reinstated by Prussian bayonets. Prussian troops have garrisoned his country for him ever since and, without the leave of Pru-' sia, England will not get a man or musket from Hesse. Hanover, Baden, Bavaria— they have some reason indeed to fear France, (provided the aliance hold,) but they fear England not at all: and against their own people, Prussia and Austria are their surest guarantees—Russia their rock and strong tower. As tor the little Cobourg Golha—the farm of that speculative family which had the honour to produce the Prince Albert,—who believes that it either can or dares render much assistance? "Oh! for the three milion Irish Celts that we starved, and exterminated, and hunted off the face of the earth, and stowed away in emigrant ships, and buried in coffinless graves! Oh! for those three millions nowl'*

Often, in aeeret, they mast breathe this prayer: but in vain, in rain. Those three millions are not ODly gone, beyoad the

sound of recruiting-sergeant fife but they have left a heavy curse behind ihem and it has followed and found out, and cleaves to the murderers. There is a doom and a retribution in this dreadful vrar. The ghosts of those brave Frenchmen, who have perished in unjust exile in Cayenne or in Algeria haunt and appal the Usurper on his pillow by night, and the awful voice of the eloquent exiles, coming from the sea, warn him that bis day of accounting is at hand.•

As for the brave soldiers suffering in the Crimea—when nations go to war, one party or the other must suffer: and we cannot afford to pity the miseries of invading forces, especially when the men who compose them are fighting for their own enemies and oppressors, and against those who never harmed them. They are the aggressors: they have no business there: and it in imprudent to ask people to be sorry because they have not succeeded in sacking a city —plundering its inhabitants and cutting their throats. ..-u

It is true half the British army in the Crimea consists of Irishmen: so much the worse. They, emphatically and especially had no business there. A correspondent of the Daily Express gives the following insight into the composition of "Welsh," and "Highland," and "English' regiments— "We are amused at the squabbles in England about the funds to be given to the soldiers, the local attractions about Welsh Fusiliers, fcc., fcc. Imagine Welshmen named Malony, Handrahan, Kelly, Lynch, Curry,, O'Connor, Burke, Curley, O'Gorman, fcc., who were killed and wounded at the Alma and yet these are among the names of the Welsh Fusiliers. Then, again, the Scotch regiments, exhibits such strange Highland names as Flanagan and Garraty and yet the 93rd is the most exclusively national regiment we have. The Westmoreland regiment (55ih Foot) numbers amongst its names Messrs. D'Arcy, Carly, Foley, Keehan, Flannagan, Hoolaghan, Murphy, O'Donnell, and other wellknown Westmoreland cognomens. And the Derbyshire (95th Regiment) has gained its maiden blazon by the aid of such natives of that jolly shire as Connor, Donoghue, Ilogan, Shea, Sullivan, Reilly, Murphy, Callaghan, Delany, Downey, M'Shean, Reardon, O'Keeffe, &c."

Miserable wretches! They might have died, as men should die, in defence of their own land six years ago. They have preferred to die like dogs, fighting for the only enemies they or theirs ever had. Be it so! One other campaign, and the survivors of the O'Keeffes and O'Connors may have to look out for new masters, and offer their heart's blood in the service of some other enemy.
