The Duty Of the Democratic Party.

We shall continue to address the democrats from time
to time upon the necessity of preserving harmony in
their ranks, union In their councils and organization in
their movements. What they TO expect from the
next administration, when the wing party to take
the ead and the leader of that party is to be the power
behind the throne. greater than the throne itse 1t is
the character of Henry Clay TO "rule ruin"
All our principles are {: stake. To their suspicious
influence the country is sgnay indebted for the un-
Hvaled prosperity which enjoy. We may con-
unue to say of them what Mr.. Jefferson wrote to Mr.
Madison, few weeks before his death: eff ever the
earth has beheld system of administration conducted
with single and seadfast eye to the general interests
and happiness of those committed to -one which, pro-
teced by truth, know repoach-it is that to
which lives have been devoted" With these prin-
cples in danger of being trodden down-with military
man at the head of aarsnecessarily thrown upon
bold and experienced civilians for his support whan can
the republican party expect, if they do stand up to-
ge'her sacrifice then differences of opinion the repuh
hcan altar, and unite their exerons for the restoration
OF their principles TO power? "Union harmony cences-
son Everything for the cause nothing for men" The
spring elections rapidly advancing Let us organize
atonce, and prepare for them. Let us save as many
members OF Congress as we can, since the incoming
PRESIDENT throws himself upon Congress for the meas
ures which he is to adopt Let continue to stand to
our arms with vigilance that sleeps and spirit
mat never iaters We like to repeat the sound advice
and excellent maxms which come from brethren of
the press; and better than the following sugges-
ions from the "Hickman (Ky.) Standard"
There be little difficulty in ascerainiug the duty OF
Tue democratic party in the present condition of affairs
80 Tar from dsbandng should closely unite the
various divisions of party and endeavor eradicate
every proper of offence any who have heretofore
acted with us Let the vacancies in front be filed upihe
rear be advanced TO form dense column. In this
position we shall the better observe whatever
may be made by new administration.

The correspondent of the North American has moi
ingenuity enough TO escape from the dilemma in which
he has involved himself He makes, indeed other reck
less assertions which only plunge him the deeper in the
orass 1t is thoroughly false, that we are las he saws
in his last letter. attempting to escape from the odium
of defeat in false that the elec-
ton of Gov. Floyd is the severest blow" that we have
received-maciousy false, that at is universally
regarded the posraon Of that influence which he 1--WE
has long and dcspotcaly welded to the injury OF
the best interests of Virginia" Of this man means the
internal improvement of the State, it is grauous mis-
representation, for we know no man in that State who
has written much for calling out her own energies
and we have sunk s. 200, and sacrificed much more
to carry on her greatest work) We repeat it is thor
oughy false that took any part for the Secretary OF
the Navy for any other person, in any form whatso-
ever, for the Office of governor of Virginia But why
face hisscrbbe down, when every exposure only makes
him the desperate; and fast you break the
spiders web which he attempts to draw around his
victim, ''the creature IS at his dirty work again !"

Gen. Tnylor's Cabinet.

Cabinet making continues to be fashionable employ
ment with the politicians The Louisville Journal
lectures that John M. Clayton of Delaware will be in
vited to the Department of State and John Davis of
Massachusetts to that of the Treasury, under President
Taylor The Louisville Courier, referring to the reports
thai Mr. Crittenden will be called to the chief place in
the cabinet of President Taylor, says eve think we
are warranted in saying that the country will not have
the benefit of Mr.. Crttenden's talents in the cabinet
The Courier says that Kentucky cannot spare Mr. Crit
enden that she is about to change her organic law
The Courier suggests the appointment of the Hon Robt
z. Lecher to the station of Postmaster General, and
says: His appointment would be highly acceptable TO
Kentucky and 10 the West -Norfokk Beacon.

Railroad Adventure
We are indebted for the following letter. a senator Of
the United States, to whom it is addressed:

IL
HARPER's FERRY Virginia,
Sunday, Dec. II, 1855 o'clock p. m.
SIR We dned here to-day at ~ o'clock on our way
home TO Illinois had, on the passage OF the Mercy
train about 80 persons, going West; and about one
mile west of Harper's Ferry, Just entered
small tunnel cut through large projecting rock, where
the railroad makes turn south west The conductor Mr.
Kneer discovered the Gladiator train of freight cars 20 in
number, heavily laden with stone coal, coming upon
at full speed round point, about forty rods apart both
al full speed Every effort was made by the
conductor and agents OF the Mercury to stop her,
which nearly effected, when the Gladiator ran
into her, staving up the Mercury considerably, and
mashed and threw of the track the Gladiator and
many OF her cars against the hillside, doing several
thousand dollars damage. On the alarm given, my
SELF and all the passengers but three four, with one
lady and two children in the back car, got out at the
doors and jumped of safely without mjurng any person
whateyer-a most fortunate result 10 all. Two for
tunate things in this catastrophe, which saved
all from utter destruction, VIZ: that happened to meet
at the moment OF time we did, and that we met at the
centre OF 10 the south, which naturally threw the
Oft against the hillside instead of into the river
Potomac, off the precpice the other side the passen
gers all getting out the river side, out OF danger the
crash. The hndmost of the Mercury train broke
loose in the crash, and clear back Hapers Ferry,
il being on the descent that way, with the remaining
passengers including the lady and her two children
1t is due to MIR. Kneller, the conductor of the Mer
curry, to say that he was running within his prop
er time at this fatal spot, and used all due
diligence and precauton to avoid IT, and is using every
exerton repair and clear the track TO get US off in
another train by u o'clock 10 night The whole fault is
in the conductor OF the Gladiator, Mr. West, who acted
against the express request OF his engineer who protested
against his running here, it being OF his allotted
time he should have been back on his route seven miles
west, waiting for the Mercury train to pass within the
time allotted to her.
Mr.. West is under heavy bonds for his faithful duty
but fled instantly to parts unknown.
Your o5edient servant,
J. p. COOPER.
