land, via Tehti, we have dates from the latter
place to the 18th ut-S. T.. En-.
From Captain Wilson, we learn that there
had been another d .turbance at Riatea, between
the republicans and royalists. The halfbreed
native who was elected by the natives as Pre- il.
dent, sometime since, has been overpowered BY
the adherents Of Queen P0mare, and compcl lied
to vecate his seat But the triumph Of the ROY
alists was only brief one, AZ the republican.
obtsined reinforcement, ousted the royali.ts,
and again installed the half breed in the execu.
tive chiir. The Queen, on learning the di-com.
future Of her party, started for the scene Of action
to attempt the subjugation OF her rebelious sub.
jects; but such was their force, that she was
compelled TO fee, and barely escaped with her
life. She took refuge on board French frigate
which sailed for the Sandwich Islands, and ar.
rived at Lahaina, on the day Captain Wilson
sailed. All was quiet at Riatea, at last accounts
under the new republican President. The Fsl.
mouthbrings no papers.

tfs- As many Of our Democratic friends are
unable 10 obtain a hearing through the Union,
we are compelled occasionally to indulge them,
as in the following instance:
Communicated.
"Gentlsmsn, this hing must stop."-BREcKIN.
RIDGE.
The little evening Telegraph, which does the
chirping for Gen. Scots interest in Washing
ton, brays loudly Of the "big guns" of the In
teYigencer, Republic and Signal on IFS side, and
pties the Democrats who have got nothing but
the Union TO maintain their cause in the federal
metropolis. There is more truth than poetry
in this boast and it must be anything but fun
TO the faithful, to see how the little man of the
Republic every morning snaps his fingers in the
face, and dashes his banderillas into the shaggy
main of the ponderous Uninn, as it lumbers
along in it's heavy course. Really, something
must be done for the "Union." 1t is like a
water logged ship, tplunges heavily amid the
pillows of political contention; and while its
enemies are squaring away at it, raking it with
hot shot, the poor barque can DO nothing but
return disnihed dulness and cold plsttudes
upon it's active enemies. And why? Because,
the printing not disposed of it cannot afford to
beindependent and indulge in spirit For ex-
ample, the Republic has been for more than a
week harpipg on the declaration OF Southern
Democrat that Gen, Pierce, as candidate, was
the, "creation and choice" of the Southern wing.
Now, why does not the Union seize hold OF this
ralse of Mr., Republic by the horns aud shake
the life out Of il Why does it not uukeuneI
the Abolition appeal that turks under all this
smartness, and show that the object is 10 make
Freesoa capital for Scott by showing that

stead Of meeting aud crushing the little wasp Of
the Republic, does the Union content itself with
saying that this was an '.unguarded expression
of Mr.. Forsyth! Alas the Union is in posi-
ton wherein no faction or person in Congress
can be offended Votes are wanted--votes
cannot be spared. and the organ cannot afford
to do its duty to its party to its country, and to
justice. ... :-
All this is pitiabe, The Democratic party
has no organ at the seat Of government, and it
is the fault of the Democracy in Congress that
it is so. The Union has lost the confidence of
the party North, South, East and West, and
unless the old hulk is pulled to pieces, remodel
led and rebuilt, all the printing in the world
will not breathe such spirit beneath les sobs of
DEATH as will make it an effective and trusted
organ of the Democracy. .
