In my travels have frequently been reminded
that Holmes, of South Carolina, and Yancy, for
merly the State and now of Alabama, had
abandoned the Democracy. Neither of the per-
sons mentioned ever really belonged to it. The
first is weak, vain and insignificant man, and
the second an ultra and impracticahlo uuiifre,
who has such an nextinguIshable passion for
toriety, that like Cassius NJ. Clay, he adopt any
course best calculated to obtain it. South Caro-
lima never will vote for the mongrel ticket, never
will swallow Fillmore; and Alabama is safe
for Cnss and Bpter the first Monday in Novem-
ber is certain to arrive.--St. Louis Union.
Who pronounced Gen. CAss to be q an officer
of the highest promise ~ Con i --iao,
report of the battle of the Thames.
Who admits that Gen. CASs is an .'aimable,
kind hearted man. and that Ibis character is u-
impeachahe'? ? John Van Buren,.
Who admitted that, in nominating Gen. Cass,
the Baltimore convention nominated " a gentleman
of talents of responsibility. and of the most exeul-
plary personal character ! The National Inte-
gencer.
Who said that, when he wanted thing well
uOne, ne got 4 BUTLER 10 90 II LAFAYETTE.
Who is one of the Buffers The democratic
candidate for the vice presidency.
Who doubts that Cass and Butler are worthy Of
the high stations that await them? Nobody.
The following dialogue was overheard by sove-
raj democrats yesterday:
GClay whig and Toy!or whig meet and look savage
at each other.
CLAY WHIG.-WeIl you played hill by nom.-
mating old Zack, didn't you Have you heard from
North Carolina and Indiana
TAYLOR WHIG.-Who cares You played h-ll
with the whig party for twelve years by running
Clay. We thought we'd try an experiment with
old Zack; and as he don't seem to ron any better,
We'll all go to hill together.-Nash. Wajg.
REPUBLIC OF THE Rio GRANDE.--The following
advertisement, which has appeared in several Of
the New Orleans papers, is said to refer TO the 4
enterprise of establishing and independent
Republic, extending from the Guf several hun
dred miles back, AMI from the Rio Grande TO the
Sierra Madre:
BUFFALO HUNr on TIRE Rio GRANDE.-Al those
desirous of joining in the Buffalo Hunt upon the !
Rio Grande, next fall, are requested 10 send their
names and addres to the Grand Scribe Of the O. |
O. O.. on or before the first day OF fSeptenber next
They will state the number Of persons in each
party, their equipments &c. Rifles, muskets, or /
s. revolvers'' must be furnished by euch hunter. /
As the party may expect occasional attacks from
the hostile Indians roaming IN that section OF the
country, it is recommended that each party should
be organized and drilled before meeting at the
rendezvous. 1t is expected that many friendly
MeXcans skilful in the sport, and acquainted with
the habits and haunts Of the aHimaI, will join the
party. Due notice of the time of meeting and the
rendezvous will be given through the pubic press.
THE DEAD SEA ExpEDJTIoN.-We are pleased,
to learn from private letters that the Dead Sea Ex-
ploring party have successfully and satisfactorily
completed their task, and returned to Jerusalem,
where they were the 10Th May. They have
sounded the sea, in all its parts TO the depth OF 600
fathoms, and found the bottom crusted with crys-
tased salt. The pestentiaI effects attributed 10
the waters turn out TO be fabulous. Ducks were
seen skimming over the surface, and partrdgcS
abounded along the shore. The party were upon
the sea in their boats, or encamped upon It's bor-
ders for some two months, and their researches
and estimates have been Of the most thorough md
interesting character. All were in excellent
health and spirits, no sickness or accident having
; occurred BY the Arabs they had been received
and uniformly treated with the utmost kindness
and attention. The Syrans consider . the men
of the Jordan,'' as they call them, the greatest
heroes of the day. Lieu;enants Lynch and Dale
