organ insists upon it, that the Democratic
party, as a national party, is not dissolved.
1t is not only dissolved, but disgraced.
With all its base coalition with Abolition
lists and Free-Soilers, in Mr.. DIxoN's dis
trict in Rhode Island, and throughout Yer
mont, the Democracy has been unable to
accomplish any thing. II stopped to a
base alliance, but took nothing it. Not
dissolved Not only dissolved-but there
is not chance for its reconstruction. No
young man of sense will fasten his fortunes
upon such crippled and hopeless con-
Germ as this poor, split-up, brokendown,
Richmond and Albany organization. The
rising generation-the new voters-will
seek the party that supports the present
Administration-the party which selected
General TAYLOR as their candidate because
they believed him to be the favorite OF
the people-and support him as President
because they believe it to be his honest
purpose to give effect to the will of the
people.

FRosT.--A slight frost, says the Hartford Courant
OF September A. was perceptble in our low grounds
yesterday morning. Thus far, in the present year,
there has been frost in every month except in Au-
gust, and perhaps some of our contemporaries may
yet chronicle its appearance in this month in some
parts of the country. The has been singu-
lar one; long continued s'spells,' as the Yankees
say, of similar weather, and then sudden and ex-
IRENE changes. In July, on Friday the Goth, known
as the "hot friday in Cambridge the thermome-
ter stood at $50 in the shade and early the next
Sunday morning Professor Guyot reported it at
420. The Professors friends inquired of him if he
kept his thermometer in the refrigerator! On the
same morning there was frost at Fairfield, New
York, and of course at Franconia New Hamp-
shire, where they never use their snow until il is
year old. Contrary to the usual custom of August,
there have been continual rains, which have much
revived the parched EARTH and improved the ap-
pearance of the crops but September begins frosty
sad prospect for the rpening of corn in the colder
parts of New England.

The Knickerbocker for september.

The high position which this favorite magazine
has attained under the able management of its ac-
complished editor; and the frequent commenda-
tons il has received, both abroad and at home,
render any thing more than mere monthly an
nouncement of its appearance and contents useless.
Contributed to, as its pages were at its commences
ment, by the most popular writers of the day, it
established itself at once in the public favor, and up
TO the present time has steadily maintained its we'll
deserved and enviable reputation the 'best maya
zine in America" The Of its success il to be
found in the unhagging industry and good taste
with which, from the initial number to the present
il has been managed. Within the fs.-s. Gs.e-.,
or twenty years number of similar periodicals
have been commenced under the most favorable
auspices the very names of which are now scarcely
recollected Figurstively speaking, "each rose
like a rocket and fell like the stick" simply from
the fact Of their conductors making the great but

The Authorities OF Cuba and the late Ad-
ministratiOn.
The Opposition journals are bent upon
having the Government do something des-
perate about the abduction case. What it
is exactly, they 40 not know, but they are
decidedly Of opinion that something ought
to be done in the way of breaking things.
They think that great deal might be
done-must be done; that the consul
must be driven from the country at all
events, and the captain general dsgraced.
They do not know exactly what President
TAYLOR has done, or what he means to do;
but they are well persuaded that he has
not done enough, and does not intend to
do enough, for the vindicaton of American
honor.
We wish these gentlemen would be con-
tent to let the PRESIDENT have his own
way in this matter. He has managed it
pretty well thus far, and we think the
''sides of his intent'' need no pricking.
But there is one point on which we are a
little curious for information. Are these
journals aware that there is a long list of
grievances ,unredressed, which American
citizens have suffered from the authorities
of Cuba' Do they know that outrages
which will compare in enormity with the
abduction of Rey have been commit.
ted-and that appeals have been made
in vain to our government during proceed
ing administrations for their interference
What do they say to the fact which we
find stated in the New Orleans Picayune
of August 20, that it was the opinion of
the Americans at Havana that no action
would be taken by our Government, as it
had heretofore never interfered with out
RACES committed by the authorities of Cuba
on American citizens' The extraordinary
case of Nathaniel Cross, the consular agent
at Matansas, who was imprisoned, and de-
serted by our Government, was cited, and

Rey would be abandoned to his fatei

by the late administration, we are not ad-
vised. That something ought TO be done
in those cases which is yet undone, we
have no doubt. That any thing will be
done in the Rey case, which the vindca-
ton of American honor demands, we have
assurance in the prompt measures already
adopted by the PRESIDENT, no less than
in his whole character and history
Our attention, hitherto, has been called
to the pecuniary defalcations of the last
administration. Now that their journals
have shown their hands in this matter of
Rey, and declared what they think Presi-
dent TAYLOR ought to do, we shall en-
deavor to let in little light upon detaica.

NARROW ESCAPE OF GEN. TAYLoR.-It is well
that Gen. Taylor did not 60 "down East this sea-
son. He missed the clam chowder of Marshfcld,
which took off the first premium at Patchogue-he
missed the Pilgrim dinner at Plymouth, and the
splendid Inequalities of the lords of the loom; but
he has been fortunate for all that, IN escaping the
clutches of the aboitionsts. 1t appears that Abby
Kelly and Granny Garrison had every thing cut and
dried to give the old hero regular ovcrhauling
and probably to abduct HIM and send HIM off to
Halifax, Cape Cod, or somewhere else AT an
abolition convention at Norristown, Mass, Granny
Garrison read an address prepared for the recep.

Taylor, in view of hIS wickedness and oppression,

TO abolish slavery, not only his own plantation,
but also IN other places" And we give the fol-
lowing extract a sample of the welcome proposed
by Garrison and his fanatical sect to old I" Rough
