DAVID SHOWERS. Political Stupidity. The principle upon which the Democratic party is based and by which each individual member thereof isgoverned; and their united organization continue, appears even at this late day, to be a mystery and source of great annoyance to our political enemies. The Democratic party is based upon the constitutional right of the whole people, without regard to geographical or sectional lines; but our opponents imagine, at the appearance of every wave upon the political tea, that the Democratic ship will be wrecked, sectionalism triumph and the union dismembered. But when a principle is settled, as a rule for future ac'ion of the party, •» calm ensues—the .

old ship safely moored—the party united r» one man shows greater strength than at any other period. The opposition becomes exceedingly vindictive and shows signa of political insanity; but there are none within the ranks of our enemies wl,o exhibit a greater degree of ignorance, stupidity and base ingratitude than those who weretzcgh: from infancy the lessons of Democracy, who were nursed and matured w.t in the arms of that partv; but who. :p'a re-:' e sta’cre of mar for a “mers of f atage,” sell their birth right 121 bet'me arch traitors to their former 'r ‘'. Is an 1 co-workers in the cause of c"'u* - d '?er’y. T.eir c .'version being instantaneous, they set up a univer- .l Low!—praise their former enemies, abase and vilify their former friends —abhor things once held sacred by them; end in proportion to the baseness of their acts are they elevated by the party opposed to the cause of Democracy. Can a party be politically, or morally honest who elevate unprincipled men? Inconsistanc y. The Republican members of the Legislature during the extra-session, while

- o thev were making bogus Senators contended, that notwithstanding the Senate of the United States was, by the Constitution, sole judge of the qualification of its members, and after a full investigation had decided that Messrs. Bright and Fitch Senators elect from this State, were legally entitled to their seats as such, that the legislature could go behind their decision and declare the State unrepresented, this was necessary to clear the way for the election of their favorite sons as bogus Senators. But things have changed materially, and these men see the question in a different light; when, during the present session it came home to them by the introduction of a resolution inquiring by what authority certain Senators held their seats in that body—they being judicial officers at the time of their election, and,

therefore, ineligible to their seats by the Cjnstitution,—the Republicans boldly declared that their was no power on earth, Supreme Court or any other that had the right to go behind the decision of the Senate upon the qualification of its members. They refused to pass the resolution of inquiry Thus they blow, hut and cold. HI —I 111 Fire —On Saturday last about 9 o’clock A. M.

Dr Hnfbart. The afflicted will remember that this distinguished Physician is receiving patients at his room at the Merchant’s Hotel. on Monday of each week.— Fountain Democrat. You may well call the doctor dietingtriiked Mr. Democrat. He is particularly \ distinpuished in these parts for the manner in which he absconded from here —Laving an unpaid printer’s bill behind; and we advise you Mr. Democrat to look out for No. 1, or you may be in the same fix. Quite a distinguished physician you have in the person of Mr. Hulburt. You s-.ottij Lave sail something about Mrs Flalburt. she is distinguished also, but it is needless for us to say what for. They are a nice couple; and we believe they are able to do mere than they advertise; but very little that they do advertise. Please give them our respects Mr. Democrat, and tell the doctor to remit our bill and we’ll quit, Liquor Law of 1553 A’ot in Force. The Supreme Court, says the State Sentinel, has decided that the Liquor Law of 1853 is not in force. There is not a concurrence of opinion of the Judges as to the grounds of the dicision, but they are unanimous in the result. The cases are Meshmier w. the State and lagersol rr. the State, in which the Judges have given their views. This leaves the ground clear for the Legislature now in session, to enact such a law as they may desire. It is well that the Court has thus, at an early day in the session, placed this subject free from all embarrassment from previous legislation, before the Legislature, that that body may pass a law to meet the expectations of the people of the State. We notice that a bill has already been introduced, and we venture to make a

suggestion in relation to it. It contains a section exacting pay for a license to retail. This pay for a license is a tax upon that particular business. Now, it may be asked, is not that section in conflict with that provision of the Constitution which declares that: “The General Assembly shall provide by law for a uniform and equal rate of a>«essment and taxation? This section, we understand the Cour: has decided relates to taxation for State purposes, and does not interfere with special taxation for municipal purposes. If ti. s be so, no tax for the license from th® State should be charged, but cities and towns should be left to assess and collect license. This matter should be looked to. Opinions of Distinguished Business Men. “Advertise your business. Do not hide your light under a bushel. Whatever your calling or occupation may be, if it needs support from the public, advertise it thoroughly and efficiently in some shape or o’her, that will arrest public attention. I freely confess that what success I have ! had in my life may fairly be attributed more to the public press than to nearly all other causes combined. There may i

possibly be occupations that do not require advertising, but 1 cannot well coneieve what they are.”—P. T Barnum. “I have al ways considered Advertising —liberally and long—to be the great medium of success in business, and the prelude to wealth. And I have made it an invariable rule, too, to advertise in the dulliest time, a long experience having taugh me that money thus spent is well laid out; as by keeping my business continually before the public, has secured me many sales that I otherwise would have lost.”— Steph. Gikard “Whatever success I may have had in business I owe mainly to continuous advertising, and I deem it good policy to advertise long in the same papers. From a close observation, I am fully convinced that it is impossible to make much head--1 way in any branch of commerce, without

the facilities which the press alone can give.” —Jacob Ridgeway. “My motto through life has been—work and advertise. In business, Advertising is the true Philosopher’s stone, and turns whatever it touches into gold. I have advertised much, both in the weekly as well as in the daily papers. —John JaI con Astcr. We could quote the opinions of many more eminent business men, whose success has been the wonder and envey of those who “saved that money” and “put their light under a bushel.” And just here, we would siy to our business men, that the Eagle has a much larger subcriptiou than any other paper in the county; its type is new and makes an impression upon paper which can be read without difficulty, and of course is much the best and cheapest medium through which to advfi tise their respective business to the cit--■■tn of A l ini'* »n 1 surrounding counties.

For the Eagle ‘ Dooglas Democrats.” Messrs. Editors. —In the Young Ame- . rica of the 20th inst., will be found an » editorial under the above caption, which, when carefully read is rather rich. The writer seems to have been "somewhat ’ amused" at "Douglasites hereabouts.” Now we are at a loss to know what the writer is driving at. If the Democrats ’ here were like himself and the Kepubli- ‘ can party, which he claims to represent: alwavs for men not measure —who are 1 changing positions as often as the weather cock—it would truly, be "amusing;” and should what he cails "Douglas Democrats, take the course of one of the editors of the Young America, who, of late, so loudly boasted of his admiration of the Hon. Stephen A. Douglas; and has until within afew weeks been a firm supporterof the doctrine of Popular Sovereignly as expounded by that eminent who, for the "thirty pieces of silver,” has become one of the editors of the Republican paper in this place, well might Douglas exclaim, "Save me from mv friends.” Again, Young America thinks the friends of Douglas “should come to the rescue.” Now, Messrs, editors, I admit, that had the Democratic party, or Douglas Democrats if you wish to call them so, followed the example of the Republican, Know-Nothing party; that is, to have gone en-mass to the polls in Illinois, and there voted nolens volens, in defiance of law and order, with pistols and bowieknives in hand, they might have "come to the rescue;” but prefering law and order, they did not do it. Douglas himself asks no such aid. But standing, as he does, firmly upon the Cincinnati Platform in which is so clearly laid down the doctrine of Popular Sovereignty, he asks but the willing mind of the people, unaided by

fraud and violence, to make him victorious. Has Young America yet learned that our Representatives in the Legislature have nobly stood up, shoulder to shoulder, with the fearless little band of an’iLecompton Democrats, that are now contending for their rights, and elected the full Democratic ticket! Who now aie expecting a diplomatic appointment? A DOUGLASITE. The Nigger in Congress.—No matter what subject comes up in Congress discussion, slavery is sure to become the prominent feature of the debate. This one idea so haunts the minds of the members that they allow themselves no peace, and will not allow the country to have peace The buisiness of the country is neglected while they repeat their slavery harangues, and its most important interests are prejudiced or sacrificed by their incurable love of agitation. What can be done to remedy this intolerable evil we know not, but it is certain that if the people wish to have the public interests attended to, they must cease sending to Congress men of one idea.— State Sen. Bold Robbery. On Friday evening at about lOo’clock,

three men entered the office of the Treasur- ; er of Coshocton County Ohio, one engag- : ed the attention of the Treasuer while the j others approached from behind and throwing a shawl over hit head held him, while ■ the first robbed him of his keys, opened < the the safe and took therefrom 820,000 and decamped. Os the above, 84.000 , was in gold and silver, 8 I,GOO on Baltimore, Md. banks, and the balance mostly of Harrison County Branch Bank, at Cadiz. Os course the treasurer at once struck out for Mike Gallagher, and if his long legs don’t overhaul them, they are safe enough.— Cleveland Plain Dealer. i . The News. Montgomery, who has been the terror of all Missourri for some time back has voluntarily given himself up for trial.— Brown, his accomplice, has left the Territory and peace reigns again in Kansas. The Austrians have sent 3'1,000 men the the flower of the Imperial army, into Italy to dispute the power of France in . that Priest-ridden Country. This ac-

counts for the late angry remark of the Emperor Napoleon to the Austrian Ambassador at Paris, which had such a depressingtendency upon stocks. The next foreign arrival will bring stirring events. — Cleveland Plain Dealer. Among the day scholars at one of the female seminaries of Cincinnatti, has been for some time back a dashing pretty young woman. A few days since, the cheif of police learned the fact, and notified the principal that the dashing pupil was a notorious young courtezan, and the keeper of a house of assignation well known to the officers. The woman could have had but otto purpose in going to the school and that is too horrible to contemplate. A New York paper says that Rev. Mr. Corbitt an eloquent Methodist preacher of that city, was formerly a tailor. That class of mechanics naturally aspire to the doth, and its adoption by them is nearly invariably attended with brilliant success.

- iu *’ ■ SHOCKING Mt’RDLR! Two Men taken from Jail and Hung by a Mob! When, a year or two since, it became our duty to chronicle the murder of four men. in'another part of the territory, we hoped to be spared the ungracious task ,ol again recording a crime of like enor mitr. That assassination was contaiitted in the heat of intense excitement, and persons for whose oflence the law prescribed no penalty, were the v'clims. But now another and a darker deed of violence rests upon our proud escutchen —a crime the full atrocity of which our pen is inadequate to describe, a murder, which for coid-blooded, pitiless, unpilying and telentless cruelty, finds no parallel in the annals of Nebraska. The facts are brief]v given below. About eight o’clock last Saturday evening, the jail in this city was entered by a parly of fifteen or twenty men —the precise number not ascertained —and two prisoners, named Braden nnd £)aly—whose arrest and imprisonment for horse-stealing we noticed last week — were forcibly taken therefrom. The keys to the cell where the prisoners were confined, were first obtained by some person walking boldly into a room, occupied by Mr. Reeves, the jailor—in his absence—and taking them from the nail on which they were hanging and retreated before his exit could be prevented by the females who were present. There were three ladies in the room—which is immediately over the jail—at the time, and on going to the door, they beheld a number of men descending to the basement where the prisoners were confined. None of the persons were disguised and all were unknown to the women. On being asked what they wanted, one person advised the ladies to be quiet and they should not be hurt; and in afew minutes the whole number re-appeared with the prisoners, threw the keys into the door and departed. A messengerwas immediately dispatched to another part of the city, for Mr. Reeves, and an alarm given, but too late to avert the evil aheady accomplished. Nothing further was heard orjtnown of

the affair until near ten o’clock yesterday, (Sunday) when our people were started by a rumor that the prisoners were seen hanging by the neck, to a tree, some two miles north of this city. This rumor proved, alas! too true. On visiting the spot indicated both bodies were found as described, where they must have been suspended at least twelve hours. The prisoners were shackled at the time they were taken from the jail, and the irons were still on when the bodies werediscoviered. The corpse of Braden presented the most frightful spectacle of which it is possible to conceive—the rope, either bv accident or d.'-sign, having been placed in his mouth instead of under his chia, by his inhuman murderers. The bodies were brought to this city last evening, and a Coroner’s Inquest, called, which is still in session. The Inquest is held with closed doors, and the evidence addued will not transpire until its close. Suspicion points strongly towords several persons residing at or near Rockport, Washington county, as the perpetrators of this horrid crime, and a posse of men from this city, under DeputySheriff Page, started this morning tomake arrests. Os the persons murdered we know but little, Braden was an Amercan by birth, aoparently about thirty years of age — He was a man of powerful frame, and bore

the reputation of being a very dangerous, and desperate character. He lived in Harrison county, lowa, and leaves a wife. Daly was about twenty-five years old, and so far as we can learn, had been regarded as a quiet and inoffensive, but weak young rnan. He also lived in Harrison county and was unmarried. A deep feeling of regret and just indignation pervades this community, and a settled determination to bring to justice all who were concerned in so revoking an outrage. The fact that the persons killed were, perhaps, horse thieves, one 'of them probably a hardened offender, does not palliate the crime—cannot and will not be regarded as sufficient justification for perpetrating wilful, malicious and premeditated murder. The victims were in custodv, under the law of the land—a law. too. which provides proper punishment for the crimes for which they were accused—and should therefore have been doubly secure from the lawless, violence of their cowardly assassins. We are assured that our citizens will not rest until this foul blot upon the hitherto fail fame

of Nebraska, is wiped out by the condign punishment of the guilty parties to this inhuman outrage. But even if some of the perpetrators in that affair should be so fortunate as to escape the unhappy 1 fate of their victims, we beg to remind them—if by chance this article should ever meet the eyes of any of the guilty party, that “Blood, though it sleeps a time, yet never ■lies; The Gods on murd'rers fix revengeful eyes.”— Omaha Nebraskiun.

The Republican Party Split. It is apparent to the casual observer tna. a split in the Repulbican party is inevitable', and, indeed it may be regarded as already having taken place. The two elements which has heretofore composed the body of that party are-so much at variance with each other that a union is no longer practicable. The hot headed abolition faction, headed in the State of Ohio by such men as Chase, Giddings, Bingham and others, supported by the Cleveland Leader, Ashtabula Sentinel, and papers of like ilk, will not endorse the more conservative views of Corw-in and his followers, and the Cleveland Herald and Cincinnati Commercial. In the Southern part of the Slate is widened by the late wonderful and terrible onslaught of the Commercial in dissecting the Governor’s Message. Retd is bitter in his sarcasm and culling in denunciation. He • declares, (with truth) that the R publican party is dead! that it is not only deal, 'but stinkethl’ He declares that the name ex sled without a body or the semblance of a principle! iTliis sounds like rebellion. The’rugged issue’is playing sad havoc among the motley crew of chamelon colored Republicans. While, the Commercial is sowing the seed of <Hssention in the South another revolution has broken out in the camp of the oppo- , sition in north. The Cleveland Herald refuses to endorse the insurrectionary re- - bels of Oberlin, whereupon the leader opens its batteries upon the Herald and its supporters. A terrible Kiiikenny fight is the consequence. The big dogs growl while all the little cur* join in the chorus. To the Democracy who star’ firmly united, this fighting and wrangling is a subject of amusement and derision. — Constitution. The Temperance Movement. There appears to be a great stir in the Republican ranks, throughout the State, on the Temperance question. This is a good idea, as there is no faction in our whole country that needs a reform in this growing vice, more than this same Black Republican Abolition Temperance party.

• - r r M j Their leaders —Senators and Representatives. have lost all regard for decency, to say nothing of temperance, and on the most trivial occasions get beastly drunk. : and disgrace themselves and their constit- ■ uents by their ruffiian conduct, even in the streets of the capilol, where they were i sent for the purpose of legislating bin ' where thev get in crowds and get drunk . over the passage of a worse than silly bill. It is easy to be seen that the -whole thing ;« being gotten up for political capital — Thev hav? no issues to present to the people only those that have been repudiated by them and discovering that they are .once around they have commenced again i on the old programme, and if success I lul in stirring up the better feelings of, i community so as to elect them, they wiT jsgain betray every trust and, probably j practice on the people of our State, a hum- i bug similar to the “Maine Liquor Law.’ : The temperance question of itself is ' right enough —in fact we need something , to regulate the sale of ardent spirits, but as a political movement we think it should be discountenanced by every real advocate of the cause. We understand that some of our citizens held a meeting, the fore part of l ist week and appointed delegate to attend the convention at Indianapolis. All we have to say at present about this meeting is, ' i that thev need not exnect to do much un

til thev get those who will not give two j three cent postage stumps for a snifter of \ “ Old liye,” to engage in the gJ-1 work. —Huntington Demon at. I nion Presidential Tic ket. The New York Tribune favors a union of all the opposition to the Democracy at I the next Presidential election on certain conditions. First: •We propose thil the Republicans, as the larger section of the opposition, be . permitted to name one of their number for President, to be sustained by the entire ‘ opposition; while the Americans and National Whigs propose the Vice Presi lent. The ticket thus formed shall be supported by the entire opposition, each party and each State making its own doctrines or propositions, and the united opposition to be designated Republican, American, Union. People’s Pai-v, or whatever else , its voters in any locality niav choose.’ If litis be not acceptable, it proposes; I ‘Let the other wing of the ppp jsifion , name the President, conceding the Vice D • j . i r> . .. 1.1 ■ .... :.i. . i -

President to the Republicans, with this single condition agreed toby all hands, and proclaimed to the public, that the • Administration thus formed, shall do all in its power to confine slavery within the limits of the existing slave States.’ The Richmond Enquirer, alluding to an article in the Richmond Examiner, savs: 'The Examiner credits the rumor that Senator Douglas has declined to be a candidate in 1360, and thus leaves the field clear for Southern aspirants, undisturbed by Northern Competition. The justice of this assumption is, perhaps, questionable. The little giant has made no public announcement of such an intention, and unless such announcement shall be made , he wild undoubtedly carry much strength to the Charleston Convention.’ The Mississippi Legislature has passed a law grafting divorces to all parties who . have lived seperate three years. A *'ide lof emigration may be expected to set toI wards Mississippi. Indiana is about going out of the “busihes.”

The Personal animosity to Senator Douglas has fired down to a feeble lew 1 in the Senate, and in all Washington mere is not a baker’s dozen. Another Legislative Farce.—Our present Legislature are great on larces. Not content with the Senatorial farce die) j enacted at th® extra session, they, on , Wednesday last, inaccordance with a joint resolution, assembled in joint conv>n“ ,,! ' for the purpose of receiveing ape■■ ■■•>-.1 1 from the ladies of Wayne Co. on the -u ' ject of women’s rights. The House was filled with ladies, so much so that no room was left for the Senators who came to pl ly their part in the farce The petition was presented by Mrs. . Thomas, w- J read a written address in its snot. . 'others of the strong-minded—Mrs birdsal! aul Mis. Cook—also addressed tae Legislature. The Senators then withdrew, but the ladies kept possession; where

upon, a member moved that the House a. journ and that the meetng resolve itsel. into a love feast which was carried. A lively time now ensued, at) I many smart t lhings were doubtless said, besides many others that had better been left unsaid. For the honor of the women of our State, as well as our Legislature: we hope no more such lollies may be tolerated.Ft. Wage Sentinel.
