later rRoM BHAzu IND La Pi.ArA.-By the
very handsome and fast SAILING bark Roslna, Cap
tam Do'y, we are in reccip, OF very late papers
from Rio yaneiro, which por, he Jeff on the 18th
July. thus making an uncommonly short passage.
Our flies consis. Of the JornG. 40 Concrete TO the
18th uit.
Accounts had been received from Pemambuco,
10 The Isl uit. AT tha, date, tranquility was COM
pieely restored. 1t appears that the disturbances
there, originated in fight between some OF the
Students Of The college and certain Portuguese
dealers in Jerhed beet. The quarrel, at first, was
confined to one or two, but as both sides were
soined by their respective friends, the fighting be-
came more general, and finally ended in most
serious riot. Three or four OF the Portuguese were
killed, and several wounded. The riot was finally
oueed by the police and military. This emeute
has, however, aroused feeling between the
Creoes OF PeTnambuco and the Portuguese resi-
dents there, and petitions had been got up and
signed by all the leading CIeoles, begging for a
change in the existing laws regulating the adms-
sion Of emigrants from Portugal, and which give
them various immunItles and advantages over
the Creoles or natives OF Brazil
From Paraguay, accounts had been received to
the 9th April. The greatest activity prevailed
throughout that republic.
The victory Of urquza over the Correntinos,n says
letter from there, places under the necessity of
TAXI all means possible for defence. Rosas,
withstanding his repeated promise that he will not
attack U.S. thinks to subjugate Paraguay by means Of
the boclsaded condition in which he has us He de-
ceives himself rs for his promises not to take hostile
steps against US openly, shall how it is carried
out after the Intervention is finished.
The President will leave the 10th, for the coast
Of Parana and afterwards Encarnacion and Candle
laria "
Ii seems that they are almost as much troubled
with counterfeit bank notes IN Brazil, as we are
here IN the United States. In the money article
OF the formal do Concrete, of the Sth ut., we find
several new counterfeits noticed. The Senate was
in session, but on looking over their debates, we
do not anything of interest, the debates being
entirely on local topics.
The u. S. brig Perry arrived at Rio on the 18th
ult., from Montevldeo, from which port she
brought accounts to the 10Th June. Nothing of
importance had taken place there.
The Oriental government had resolved to aban-
don Maldonado. Its garrison, composed OF 600
men, was to be incorporated with the force de-
Tending MontevIdeo.
General Rosas refused to receive Mr. Hood, ir.,
in the character of English Consul General Let
tiers before us, says the Jorna assure us that Com
modore Herbert, and Mr. Gore had used their ut
most endeavorst to change General Rosas's determi-
nation on this point. The various troubles and
revolutions IN Europe continue to afford the
Brazilian editors plenty OF matter with which to
fill mp their papers, which, at the best of times
contain bnt little news.

Our RELATIONS WITH CANABA.-Our readers
will recoect an article from the Quebec Mercury,
which we published IN the Herald last week. 1t
related to the interference of the American people
IN the affairs OF Ireland.
According to this and other articles, portion
of the Canada press are highly incensed at the
movements that have been making in the United
States for time past, towards relief for Ire
land, in case she should come to blows with the
government of England They object very much to
the mayors of cities presiding the Irish sym
pathy meetings, in New York and else where, and
after reading us homily on the moral duties OF
nations, threaten TO demolish each and every indi-
vidual who may attempt 10 invade her Majesty
provinces of Canada
We have few words of advice to give our CO.
temporanes in Canada. We have no idea of inva-
ding Canada, for the very best of reasons that it
is not worth the powder. When we want more
territory, we shall make another draft ON the
South, and leave the SHOWS and Ices of Canada to
melt and run into this Union without our aid and
assistance. AS to the conspiracy against Canada,
you need not let it trouble you We know what
we are about.
In regard to the collections Of money for the aid
OF the people of Ireland, the citizens of the United
States will contribute as much az they please, and
mayors Will preside at those meetings as often
as they have mind to do it, regardless entirely of
whether it is pleasing or not to her Majestys loyal
subjects IN Canada
We find that Canada cannot let us alone We
make some further extracts from the press of that
province, which will be found in another column
of this DAVIS paper

Democratic majority. -. .

1t Will be noticed that the democrats. in two in
stances, namely, in 1914 and ls47, polled larger
vote IN the State than has ever been reached by
the wings, on general ticket and, Judging from
this circumstance, supposing, also, that there has
been no material change IN parties in Georgia
since last year, should say that the chances are
IN favor of the democrats for the electoral vote
On the other hand, there are, it is believed,
many Calhoun democrats who prefer Taylor to
Cass and, considering that the power and patron
age of the State is in the hands of the wings at
present, with the exception of the Governor, who
has but little; also, that the popularity of Tay-
Tor has not been tested in the State we know
of no electoral vote IN the Union more doubtful
than that of Georgia.

TIVE FRHK Son. PARTY AND THE ABcra1losisr rs
The organ OF the fanat,cal abohiicnls.s ia New
England, IN an article On the .ecen, mountainous
By the Buffalo Convention, gives n It's adhesion,
and that Of Its party, 20 the fee sell movement.
Although il considers this party actually rro-
slavery party, because IL VIII not attack the ins:i-
tu:lon OF slavery IN the old States, the existence
Of which is guaranteed by The compromises OF the
constitution, yet It wall support il, because il Is The
precursor OF new par'y-agrea, Northern party
that will, al some future time, carry the war into
Africa, and throw 10 the winds compromises and
everything else that stands IN the way Of the abo-
liiion OF slavery.
We give the reasons tina, have induced the red
abollnonists 10 loin tins tree soil party -
The new party lie not the PARTY that is to abolish
slavery by wthdrawing from il the support Of North
ern bayonsts and pupts 81 the physical force and the
public sentiment Of the free States but It viii pre-.
pare the way for its advent II not the deverer but
it's the that goeth before his face is shorn

stead Of sectional party To be effective, it must be
ever the aIiurements Of the pash Of unien which
has SO often cheated the strong of the North OF
his strength and delivered him, bound to the Phils
tines The party yet to be, which to do this work.
viii be techncaya Northern, free State party Its
object will be- by the action of the free States alone
outside of the constitution themselves and the
slaves from their guilty support system OF slave
~, while acting under the constitution. This party
will agtate within the free States for the formation OF
new confederation Of States that shall have part
lot in the support of slavery and shall be free from
ite despotic sway. 1t win 60 for new con-
stitution, for union Of freemen, free from
the insidious element of tyranny disguised in COM
promise Its object will be the foundation and edying
ofs true republic where the people will choose their
own magistrates, and make their own laws and not
merely register the edics of ruthless aristocracy
irving its hereditary and prescrptive privileges from
ownership in human beings
The aboltionlsts, therefore, have joined Mr.. Van
Buren, for the purpose of using him as an entering
wedge for the splitting Of the constitution, and the
ultimate abolition Of the institution of saveryin the
Southern States. This state of things confirms the
probable result OF the Presidential election, which
we deduced, few days since, from estimates and
figures

IN FTRslpEHr1Al ELxcrsoN.-vurx CT NoRr1i
Csworrsa AND GEoHen-AmoEg the Stasesw which
VIII be vigorously contested for the electoral VOTE
are Noth Carolina and Georgia, both OF which are
confidently claimed by wings and democrats.
North Carolina, il viii be remembered, gave her
electoral vote 10 Mr.. Clay IN 1884, by mocrity Of
3e43; and in $780, 20 Gen Harrison by 1854 ma
,ority In 1885, the State went for Van Buren, by
about 2oOO ma onty, most unexpected result, as
the wing candidate Tor governor, Dudley, had
been elected IN August OF the same year by large
majority, and Judge White, of Tennessee, who
ran for President against Van Buren,, was native
of North Carolina. The result al the presidential
election OF 1886, was caused by singular apathy
the part OF the wings, some thousands OF whom
went 10 sleep after the August election, and on
waking up, found the electoral vote had been given
10 Van Buren, by a diminished number of votes
polled.
The present year, the wings have elected
their governor by the small majority OF about 500,
in popular vote Of 20 900 in the State and il they
are caught mapping "a November, similar result to
that which took place IN ls36may be expected, and
the vote of the State be given to Cas- and Butler
II is expected, however, that the name of Taylor
will have tendency to keep the wings awake, and
tndt some democrats Will De fCunu 10 swell the
wing vote on the Presidential election. Both par
lies ii the State sanguine of success, with the
chances rattle in favor Of the wings.
With regard to Georgia, the State election, last
year, showed democratic majority tor Governor
of 1889, and wing majority Of seven on JOINT
ballot in the Legislature. At the last Congress
sional election, four wings and four democrats
were chosen In 1874, Folks majority over Clay
for President, was 2047 but, IN 1915, the whg
Governor, Crawford was reelected by 1851 ma
jority. The following has been the vote OF the
