Now, many of the tenants, while patiently, Ia
borously changing the stubborn wilderness into
fruitful fields, have been overtaken by sickness in
their families. or other mis5ortunes, and have
found themselves unable to pay the stipulated

heard their notes of preparation for the

clearly the duty Of every true and sincere
democrat not only not to throw Obstacles
in the way Of the united and harmonious
action Of his party, nor even to remain
an Indifferent spectator; but, to stand ac-
Quilted by his party and exonerated in his

This paper, published at Keosauqua, in
Van Buren, county, and heretofore neutral
in politics, Is to come out as supporter Of
democratic principles otter the expiration
Of the present volume, which will be about
the middle Of July next. Mr.. Mitchell,
one Of the late editors, has relinquished his
interest in the establishment, and the paper
hereafter is to be published by J. M. and
James Shepherd.
The Democrat, in its new character, we
doubt not, will render good service to the
republican cause in Van Buren,, and hence
should receive liberal support at the hands
Of our friends. The democrats Of that coun-
ty are sufficiently numerous to sustain a
paper Of their own, and we have but little
fear that they will be found unwilling to do

THE SUBMARINE ExPLosIoN.-Mr. Colt, on
Saturday made an experiment at Washington by
blowing up ship, in fun sail, Of FIVE hundred
tons, with his submarine battery. The expert
ment took place in The presence Of large NUM-
Der Of persons. Two o. three minor explosions
were exhibited before the seamen on board the
"dcomed Ship made their exit. The ship
moved slowly, in sailing order, along the navy
yard channel, and ia . few minutes after leaving
her mooring place blew up with grand explo-
sion, which raised the bow Of the vessel COM
pletely out of the wafer, and scattered her frag-
ments in various directions. II would seem
that the explosion was made little too soon,
as, had the battery struck the vessel minute
later, she would have been com letely destroyed.
As twas, the experiment was considered highly
satisfactory. eHtss Rt

new York City ElectfOn-the UIA-
holy Alliance.

We said, in our paper Of last week, that
the recent coalition between the wings and
Natives Of New Yorkswas condemned by
the rejecting portion Of the wings who
permitted themselves to look beyond the
present, and this assertion we now repeat.
They condemn the amalgamation as mpol
TIC, and not because they care q farthing
about foreigners or foreigners rights
They know that henceforth all attempts on
their part to conciliate their fellow citi-
zens Of foreign birth must prove abortive,
and hence regard the step as one calcula-
ted to result in serious disasters to their
party. Thurlow Weed, editor Of the Al
bany Evening Journal, is one Of these;
and in his paper Of recent date he holds
the following language:
"Now, we pronounce this coalition more
'atrocious in design, and more diabolical in
spirit than any that has ever disgraced our
State. And whatever may be thought
and said in the delirium of success, not
six months win elapse before this proscrip.
tive, prosecuting, unrighteous amalgama-
ton will be as deeply deplored by thou
sands who are misguided BY it, as it is
now execrated BY those who foresee the
end Of its brief but inglorious career.
"The only cause Of "congratulation''
that we discover in this result il, that
.,.e,,a are no Wings in the Common Coun-
Gil. 1t: those modern reiormers, who, af-
ter exc,,.. DIM. adopted citizens from office,
NAV, perhaps, attempt to drive them from

jealously was the moving cause. JoHN B.
CuMMIxs cut his whites throat at l58 Old
Lcvee, on Wednesday night week, and,
being committed to the Parish prison, two
nights thereafter cut his own throat, from
which he died. Before committing the
murder, he drank freely, took his wife to
the house from which she never afterwards
left alive, had supper with heJ and went
to bed. In the night, while / wife was
asleep, he carried his purpose iHaD effect
BY throwing himself On her body, pressing
his left hand on her forehead, and with the
right nearly severing her head from her
body. Jealousy was the moving cause Of
this dire tragedy. The wife was the daueht-

had been married about eight years.-M.
