PIKE’S PEAK.

Mr. Editor: —A day or two since, a pi'e was caught in the Iroquois with a catfish half swallowed. The stiff bone of the fin on the back of the cat-fish Was sticking up through the pike's head, and the fins, on each side of the cat-fish, were sticking out through the pike's gills. Both were aiive. Is not this very mm h like the condition of the Democratic party in reference to slavery! They have swallowed the head, but can neither digest nor throw it up. Common Placer.
