The Washington correspondent Of the New
York Journal Of Commerce writes, under date OF
9th instant:
strong Dorr party has been got up in the de-
mocratc ranks, and il is to be made the basis of
new and radical democratic movement. Absurd
as II may seem, this party will present candi-
date for the Presidency in 1913. Its political
creed has already been set forth by the Vice Pre-
sident elect, Mr.. Dallas, and the canvass has al
ready commenced.
There is storm gathering in the ranks of the
democratic party. The question whether Mr..
Calhoun shall have the option of remaining in the
State Department, instead of being matter of
mere speculation, has become source of mena-
cling dissention. Ii MIR. Calhoun should not he
allowed permanent position and ample influence
under the new administration, he will pull down
some of the pillars that support it. On the other
hand, Mr.. Benton has been reelected, and has al
ready, according to runor, declared his hostility
to MIR. Calhoun. We have rumors also that Mr..
Wright deems it as yet uncertain whether the de-
mocratic party have gained any thing by the late
election. In this condition of things, we have
just received news, "important if true" from Mr.
Folks residence. A Tennessee member,-I mean
the one celebrated in the speeches of COL Benton
and of MIR. Adams,-has just arrived here, after
spending some days with Mr.. Polk. He states,
as reported, that Col. Polk is going to be the Pre-
sident himself, and will make up his Cabinet
from such materials as he pleases, and pursue
such course of policy as may best suit his views,
without reference to the opinions of those party
leaders who were set aside by his nomination.

.Nep Patent Improved Double fiction Fore
ing and Lifting p PUMPS,
A DAPTED to every purpose for which the
common pumps are applicable, with the i'm
portant addition of being instantly converted into
an engine that will throw water from so to 100
feet, and forcing through a pipe to any required
height. They are so simple in their construction.
that any person of ordinary capacity may tepair
them--ard so durable as seldom to need repairs.
The price is much less than any other forcing or
lifting Pump of like capacity. Their compact.
ness also makes them preferable in many situa-
lions, as one of common size may be packed in
box ! 3 by 90 inches, and 7 inches thick, weigh
ing only about 35 lbs. The subscriber, living in
Harrisonburg, has purchased the right of this
Pump for Augusta county, and he falters himself
that as soon as materials can be obtained he will
be able to furnish its citizens with Pumps that
cannot be surpassed in this part of the world.

Liberty PARTY.-One of the Loco Foco organs
openly boasts that the pretended Liberty men OF
their side, deserted when they came to the polls.
We stated six weeks before the election in our
columns, that this was the plan of the party, dis
closed through the Albany Argus; and that large
numbers of Loco Focos in Madison County and
other PLACES, had come out under their own names
ostensbly for Birney, with view of confirming
the Liberty party in their course; but really with
the design OF ultimately deserving them. The
result proved as was anticipated, and the Loco
Foco party and press now openly boast of having
made the Wing portion Of the ''Iiberty Party''

IN the State, two thousand their part, and
with having Withdrawn upwards of fifteen thous-
