avail themselves OF the northern and south
ern faces oil their. candidate, and at the
same time leave the ground OF agitation
for the Wilmot proviso Barn-burners, with
the hope that the latter may thereby de-
tract SO much from the democratic strength
in the North, as TO enable them to carry
| two or three states which they consider
doubtful.
| This is truly ludicious quandary, but
it presents, upon the whole, no new phase
in modern whiggery. The people have
long since ceased to be astonished at any
position or any shape which that putres-
cent mass OF political corruption, that con-
glomeration OF absurdities, contradictions,
looleries and knaveries, may choose to as
sumo.
1t was rumored here, day or two since,
that the federal members, assembled in
caucus, had decided upon defeating any
bill for the organization OF the territories,
which by its provisions quiet for the time
being this ,exed slavery question. The
motive alleged for this determination, to-
wit; that such settlement would operate
against the election oil Gen. Tayl or; is tru-
" characteristic OF that party. But see
that the tederalists are still annoyed, to
some extent, on opposite sides, many Of
them vasciilating and halling betw cen two
| opinions, running Lither and thilher, like
! sheep without shepherd, or coon with
out tree.
VAN all their hopes Of succeeding by
whatever hambug they may see iii TO adopt.
Let them take ei,her horn OF the dilemma,
and their fate is equally and forever seal
ed. Their nelariuus Designs are too tho
roug .ly understood, and the people OF the
onned States are too generally enligsten-
ed upon all the political questions OF the
day, for the CAUSE oi democracy to suffer
| ny any federal Vaccinations, however craf-
. they may be. Whatever may be the
result OF this slavery question, as were
presented 10 Congress, II is all the same
TO the Democracy. so lar as the ensuing
Presidential campaignis concerned. Vic
tory waits to perch upon our banner on the
first Monday OF November, and will not
be frightened from our standard by the
motley array of Mexican whiggery and
spoilsmen, who, with no principles Tor the
public eye, have rallied to the standard of
a mere military hero, whose only merit is,
that he can fight well when well sustain
ed by true american soldiers.
In haste, yours, SC. P.

NEW YORK, July y.
We have dates from Laguayra to the
18th inst. General Moreno, OF the govern
ment, had surrendered up the city,
Maracaibo, with all his forces. They
were all released on giving their parole
not to oppose Gen. Paez, who is momen-
tarily expected to arrive iii Curacao from
Jamlca. The rumors regarding President
Monagas are conflicting. Some say he is
dead. A large number of white refugees
from Martinique have arrived at New
York. They left on account of the insur-
rection. The government there is entire
powerless, and the blacks are committing
horrible outrages.

Death Of Francis Ik. skunk.

The sad event, threatened for weeks,
has at last TRANSFERRED and the people of
Pennsylvania lose one of their most valued
and cherished public servants in the per-
son Of Francis r. skunk, who died at
Harrisburgh, last evening, at o'clock.
His mind, clear to the last, was intently
/. fixed upon the prospect OF blessed here
alter, and he departed the busy scene of
life IN the calm assurance OF glorious
Immortality. During along life Of pub
lie service, his reputation has never been
clouded by the breath of passing suspi-
cion.
In the midst of peril, he saw the right
and pursued it without Ainching. In the
midst of disaster, his pure heart hoped on
with fervor. Prosperity could not alter
the even tenor OF his way, or change the
serene simplicity of his character. He
was firm as he was mild, and courageous
as he was courteous. No man detected
wrong with more rapidity or saw the
right with more perspicuity. No man
ever kindled into more generous enthu-
siasm over the expressions OF others, or
reused into more lofty patriotism in the
cause Of his country.
He has left upon the records of his ma
tive state an indestructible regulations; and
whether we contemplate him as an honest
man, the self made statesman, the incor-
ruptible chief magistrate, or the unpre-
tending Christian, we shall find his char
acter a model for the youth Of our country.
and an example for after times.
His death-bed was the scene of his
proudest triumph. Victorious over the
ambitions of life, he crowned the events
OF a long and cloudless career, by an act
Of sublime and SURPRISING patriotism, and
he did not hesitate to believe that next to
his duty to God, might be ranked his duty
to his principles. FRANcIs r. Snusk
was enc of the men of the olden time. No
bly, has he fulfilled the hopes of his coun-
trymen. Gloriously has he earned the
applause Of posteriiy, and bright reward
in the realms above. q

DRY and initiate his Observation-Disclosures
