o. The South cannot act with the De-
mocracy, and the sooner she discovers and
acknowledges that fact the better it will De
for her. So long as she could control the
Democracy so long it was well enough and
she could incorporate her State Rights prin-
ciple into the creed of this party and call it
Democratic. But when the Democracy in
its own strength and with its own princi-
Piles comes into the field it will be slow to
understand how the barriers should stand
in the way of the will of the People-that
is, of the Majority-that is, of the Democ-
racy The following resolutions adopted at
meeting of a German political club in
Cleveland, may indicate something-not in
deed of the operations and purposes of the
int lligent portion of our German fellow
citizens, but of the tendency Of Democracy
among all ranks of that party in the nom
slaveholding States:
re- Ftr'--s>s.S. The colored people, in their
meeting held on the 18th Instant, have ex-
pressed their sympathy with the German
nation. by resolution to actually aid the
German National Loan, the German Polti-
cal Club resolves:

valls itself OF TINS opportunity to declare the
conviction that the German people as soon

an institution which is so wholly repugnant
to the principles of true democracy.
I'd, Tn at this resolution shall be publish

We give this announcement as 1t stands
and for what it is worth-just as we publish
ed, some time ago, the manifesto ofprinci-
Piles put forth by German association in
Richmond, Virginia. The manifesto and
Its principles were disclaimed by the better
portion of the German residents in the city;
but the manifesto and it's principles claimed
to be Democratic and they undoubtedly did
indicate Democratic tendencies. We use
the term Democratic in it's true sense and not
in the sense in which it has been so much
abused by the politicians of the Virginia
School.-Bal, finer.

The CASE oP THE PRoMETHEUS.-The
facts of this case are known only from the
statements of Captain Churchill and, as
presented by him, they are commented upon
" New York journal, the Commercial, as
follows:
"The Pr0raoiheus Fired at.-The captain
Of the steamer Prometheus seems to have
very unnecessarily involved himself in diff
Guilty. aud has vessel and passengers in per-
il, oy an unlustfable attempt to leave Grey
town without paying port dues. According
to his own statement, the authorities made
a charge of S123 for anchorage and port
dues, which Captain Churchill assumed to
be illegally demanded. and refused TO pay.
Accordingly, as he was about to leave port,
an attachment was served on the vessel by
the civil power. This he set at defiance
thinking probably that the authorities had
not power to enforce their laws--hove an
Choir, and dropped down the harbor with
the current. An English brig-ot-war lying
near intercepted the Prometheus, firing q
shot each over her bow and stern, where
upon Captain Churchill prudeutly lay to-
sent boat on board the brig to ask an ex-
PLANTATION, and was told that the brig would
protect the authorities of Greytown in their
lawful demands, that he must return and
pay up, which he did under protest the
very thing he ought to have done before he
sailed, instead of trying to get away from
the responsibility and defying the civil au-
thority of the place, whom his gov
eminent would have held responsible for
any wrong"
The conduct of Capt. Churchill, whether
right or wrong, whether imprudens or not,
is not brought into the real issue in this mat
ter. The true question relates to the as
sumption of authority by British naval
officer to fire upon an American vessel, and
to the inference that in so doing he was as
serting the sovereignty of England to the
Mosquito country and to the town of Near
aqua, called by the English designation
Greyiown. The case will bring that ques-
ton to definite issue, and it is high time,
we think, that it was so brought. This
country is very DESTROYS to know how it is
that the British occupation of the San Juan
still continues, notwithstanding the express
s'ioulations of the Clayton and Bulwer trea
t. to the contrary. That such occupation
VIII not be permitted, when the canal by
that route is completed, may be taken for
granted. The treaty We are sure will be
enforced to the letter; and indeed II the
treaty itself did not contain provision for
the cessation of British sway in that quar-
ter, this country in Justice to her own rights,
interests and dignity, could not allow such
sway to continue. But the treaty is expli-
cit on the point in question. finer.

A Work OF ARIA London correspondent
of the Worlds Fair says:


of the Worlds Fair says:
at Is the on dit at the Crystal Palace, that the
celebrated Amazon group, by M. Kiss, has been
purchased by an American party for 100000,
and is to be taken to the United States for ex-
Inhibition. The Queen, it seems, was among the
bidders for the beautiful group, and the Duke
of Devonshire, also ; but both fell back before
the zeal of our countrymen. hope this is true,
for neither in this exhibition, nor in Europe, is
there a piece Of statuary that can compare with
IL The tiger has just sprung upon the horse,
and has fastened upon his chest and neck with
merciless ferocity
1.-THE horse, in his agony, is rearing ard plung-
ing in the vain endeavor to release himself from
his destroyer. These two points alone, the
anatomical correctness of both the steed and the
tiger, and the fine muscular power Of both, would
immor talize the artist. But above these, in
all that displays the genius of the one who con-
ceivsd the whole ides, is the figure, attitude,
carriage, manner and development of the rider.
To the finest conception Of limbs and arms, and
bust and figure there is added such face of
exuiste beauty in COOL determined revenge, as
I ever saw. No description can give you any
idea of its wonderful artistic power"
