Riot and Murder,

1t is with pain that we chronicle such dis
graceful proceedings as those we subjoin. These
faction fights" should be s,etnIy suppressed at
any and every hazard and these misguided men
be taught that this is land of law-not Of bru.

and the ferocious spirit which they engender,
render the necessity of putting stop to them,

RAILROAD Riot AND Loss OF LIFE. The riot
between the two factions of Irish laborers on
the railroad near Steubenville, Ohio, were re-
sumed on Saturday last, and resulted in the
death of James Casey, Of the Cork party Ele-
ven of the offenders had been arrested and COM
mitted to Jail at Steuben ville, where some fifty
or sixty of the rioters are now confined on va
rious charges.
On Tuesday 200 or 300 Corkonians marched
into Pittsburg from the railroads in the vicinity,
many of them fully armed, with the determine
ton of going to Steubenvile to aid their friends
there to drive off the Fardowns, but none of the
captains of the steamers being willing to take
them, they avowed their intention to march there
by land Several arrests were made, and ener-
getic steps have been taken, both at Steuben-
vile and Pittsburg to put an end to these dis
graceful feuds.

BLTGHTED HOPE.
BY NJ. T. CARPENTER.

A sad and weary dream
Is life 10 me
Upon lis turbid stream
No bright stars kindly beam;
Aud silently,
AS on its current down glide,
A desert glooms on either side.
Hope may not waken more
Within my soul,
And sorrow shadows oer
The days for me in store,
Which slowly roll
As if they fingered on their course,
To give their anguish greater force.
Life once was bright and fair
When she was here,
Whose radiant smile so rare
Could hanish every care
Dry every tear,
And make, to me, the whole earth seem
Far brighter than fairy's dream.
But in his pride of power
The death foe came,
And stole away my flower,
And since that evil hour
Ambition, fame,
And love, have fed my aching breast
The grave is all nay hope of rest

mise final settlement Of all the agtating matters con-
nected with the question Of African slavery within the
boundaries Of the United States The sentiment Of the
Democracy Of the nation shows that the naty policy Is
the one that must inevitably be adopted This policy
grows stronger and stronger every day in the Democratic
party Of the Union.-Nafionai Democrat.
How does all this APPEAR Where is the evi-
dence Of its truthY Were not the late Democratic
State Conventions in Virginia, Georgia, Louisiana
Florida, California, and Michigan all silent upon
the question Of the 6nality Of the Compromise Did
the members of either of those Conventions, while
setting forth their principles and intentions, utter
one word in favor of maintaining the Compromise,
or even Of observing it, Indeed, has there been
solitary Democratic Convention in any slaveholding
State except Kentucky that has endorsed the Com

league Of the Louisville district Nfr MARSHALL to whom
he attributed its authorship to the people Of Kentucky
The address the bteres the most denuncator and
most whitening publication that could have been issued

sentiments which the people Of Kentucky entertained IL
