REORGANIZATION.

We are pleased to notice from the Georgia. Ala
bama and Mississippi papers. that the Compromise
and anticompromise democrats are uniting upon the
long-tried platform of democratic principles Of
the antcompron1ise democrats in those States, few.
if any, organized upon the platform of resistance for
the past. only or chiefly. No reasonable man among
that party supposed for moment that California.
once admitted could ever be elected from the Uni
on. The only rational aim and object of the anti
compromise democrats of the South. the occu
patton and assertion of such position towards these
measures would stay the of aggression, by
disavowing at all hazards, any and every farther
Compromise involving the question of slavery
This was the true position of the South. Resist
for the past was impossible because unanimity
of opinion and concert of action could not be OBJ
tanned and consequently all vaporing in that direc-
ton simply "sound and fury signifying moth
ing, and the attempt made in some few cases to es
tablish it as test of democratic faith could not
bind the party, but simply ridiculous. But the
position of the Union party in which it was join
ed by the whole southern whig press fully deserved
and still deserves the epithet of g submssionist =
Its distinctive principle was not simply an acques
cence in the Compromise, but Georgia coempo
rary we'll observes. such unequiUocal endorsement
Of it srould lay the foundation for future Compro-
mses still more detrimental to the interests Of the South
Now that the noise and confusion has some
what subsidized. all true democrats begin to how
very little difference there has been is between the
different sections of the party. and how very little
affinity there really is be between them and
their old opponents, the wings their more recent
and more insidous enemies. the so-called Union
lists" We do not know what course may be pursued
by Messrs Foote. Cobb. and others, who allowed
themselves to be used by this temporary faction, but
it certainly will require witch to see that their
future standing in the party. or even their recogn
ton democrats depends upon the course they may
adopt in the next six months. To retain that stand
ing and recognition they must " come out from a.

Peru


The n. Y. Courier has intelligence from Peru to
the : of September. The Courier says:
The Government is making some essential COM
mercia reforms and holding out inducements for the
importation of foreign merchandise 1t is suggested
among other customs regulations to admit wheat
and -four free of duty.
According to the last report of the Minister of Fl
nance of the Republic the revenue in 1850 S.
828, 040. Of this amount 81 .905. 208 was derived
from the duties paid at the custom-house. The
penditure for the same year amounted to S5.690210
including that of the Departments of War and Ma
rine which nearly cne-half of that amount. The
Minister unable to give the value of the imports
and exports of each nation.
The principal articles of expectation. of which the
department possesses statistics cotton, wool and
Peruvian bark. The export of these articles in 1850
follows
Cotton. $500 quintals valued at 81 694
Wool 81 $50 quintals, valued at. sos

have the figures for the year l849 when there were
reported from the Codes of Inquiry $50 quntals
valued at S6S,6
The expectation of silver in the two years 1S49
and 1850. amounted to 60679S marks, there being
decrease of 81, 103 marks in 1850 as compared with
the previous year.
The currency of Peru has diminished. In 1850
there coined 1886 marks of silver, and only
40 of gold.
The internal consolidated debt was at the end of
July last, 5000 900. The amount yet to be conso
dated is about eight millions IN all The ante-re-
volutionary debt recognized by the law of 1881 is
above S12,000,000 The debt due to arbitrary cred
tors of the State is nearly 81 100000.
The foreign debt is follows:
English, at per Ell 759 600
English, at per cent 200
Total es, 100
North American debt. sI730QO
Chlllan debt 81 900 900
These figures show exactly the financial position
of Peru. and the difficulties which the Government
is obliged to encounter, in order to meet its enor-
nous OUTLAWS. The strictest economy, and perse-
vering system of reform and retrenchment, will be
necessary to restore Peru to her ancient prosperity

given orders to the Treasury Department in Valpa-

ounces in partial payment Of the interest of the An
gloChilian loan. The interest, believe is due in

Once shaver always shaver, unless he cultivateh

also another thing which has puzzled not little
in connexion with this important subject. Why is
it that frequently find luxurant vegetation on

comes it that there be brown black. white red brin-

in town, and we understand that there is rumor

ply to the next Legislature for act Of incorpora-
tion for the purpose of consolidating the four into
one.
We remember that about the times of the Mexican
war, every man was bearded, from which we draw
the inference that there is some necessary connec-
ton between whskers and pugnacty. We there

As we anticipated We have the pleasure of am

its legal bearing with boldnrss and ability and co-

There probably never was case tried in this coun-
try the decision of which caused more universal

that there was but one sentiment among the assem-
bled mass of spectators the rendition of the YER

Mr. Avery himself was cheerful during the pro-
gress Of the tral-far than he had been from
the time of his recontre with Flemmng. at Marion,

from the stigma which had been put upon him that
buoyed him up and made him feel all the pride of

time OF the fight at Marion he seemed depressed his

LATER from Havana.

We learn by the arrival of the brig Gulnare Capt.
Phillips, at this port yesterday, from Havana, that
report was current at her departure, to the effect
that MIR. John s. Thrasher would be pardoned by
the Captain General, on condition he leave the
Island, and that twenty days would be allowed him
to arrange his affairs
The birth day of Queen Isabella was celebrated
the 10Th, at Havana, with great display and
mony. The troops reviewed by the Captain
General on the occasion.
The Gulnare sailed in company with the brig En-
