The Democratic Review,

We have looked into the January and Feb.
ruary numbers of this periodical with an inter-
est good deal augmented by the structures
which have been bestowed on it since its change
of owners and editors. 1t certainly displays far
more ability than beforehand, Judging from two
or three of the articles we have read, is entitled,
on that score, to high rank.
AS for the views of our foreign policy which
the Reuiew advocates, and especially on the doc
trine of intervention, there is one objection
which we suggest to the editors. 1t is that if
We could and would liberatc the masses Of
Europe, how could we know that they would
not proceed Immediately with their universal
suiiiage to elect LOUIS NAPoLEoNs for Presi.
dents, and Prince Presidents immediately after
wards and if this were done, we would like
to know whether We would not have to inter.
vene again, to put them down.
1t may be said that the French will vet over
throw the usurper. Well, if tiey do, AS they
easily can, without our intervention--then thew
will be at hand and can intervene much more
conveniently and economically than we for liber-
fy in the rest ofEurope. But ifthe French will
not intervene for liberty and against despots in
their own neighborhooi, don't it seem either

We have of late yielded up much of our
space to t o sayings Of the foreign war mis-
siJnary who has produced such sensation
among our people. We report this morning
the last tidings from the missionary of peace,
on his return home:
Father Mathew, on his return to Ireland from
The United States, was received by his country
men with every demonstration Of regard and es-
TEEN. The common council of Cork presented
him with an address of congratulation, to which
he responded in speech of feeling and elo-
quence, in the course Of which he thus referred
to the people of the United States, and the man.

True to Their Instincts.

The Viii Is are ever true to their instincts
and cling with astonishing pertinacity to their,
old exploded schemes which for years have been
pronounced obsolete. In portions of New York
and Pennsylvania, there is a growing desire to
get up high tariff excitement, like that, we
suppose, OF l842 80 that it may in some way
or other be brought into the Presidential can.

hirelings to ride
The bursting of the tariff bubble Of 40,
blew many great men isto obscurity. Some OF
them never have, and never can by any posi-
bility be- heard of again. For instance, Mr.
George Evans, of Maine, who took the lead of
the van of prOtectionists in the Senate He
sounded the horn Justify for the iron mongers Of
Pennsylvania and manufacturers Mt Lowell
The humbug happened to t.ke. Indeed, the
popular pulse palpitated so slowly and feebly,
healthy action. Well, onerous and excessive
restrictions and burdens were engrafted upon
the national policy. It became law. Its
own friends, at the same time, had no idea that
it could live long, having been Matched pur-
posey to pamper few fatlings, some of whom
it was said, had embarked their all in the en-.
terprise, intending to sink or swim with it.
Sure enough it died a natural death in little
while. There was reaction in public senti-
ment. The whole affair was one sided impos-
ing uponthe poor outrageous duties, and CON
sequently making them poorer, while the rich
were made richer. Arrayed against it and its
champion, Mr. Evans, was the gifted McDufe
of South Carolina Though wasting rapidly
with disease and suffering intensely at the time
he met boldly every position of Mr.. Evans and
completely confounded him with the power and

This was some time ago. it is true. but there

Runaway Slaves.

Under this caption, the editres, of the Pitts
burg Visitor, writes as follows:
A gang of runaway slaves passed through
our village on the night of Thursday, the 22d
ult. They arrived here about o'clock on the
underground railroad, and after hating a few
moments, passed on, accompanied by an escort
of the mana yers of said road, which has lately
received very large additions to its stock, and the
number and responsibility of its stockholders.
Mayor Guthrie has been an active member of
its committee of arrangements, and gave his
personal attention to passing this gang along
the line of the company'sroad, He was assisted
in the matter by what appeared to be very re-
spectacle majority Of the citizens of our twin
cities; and we who had long since despaired of
ever such consummatpn, are now forced to
conclude that the higher law has at last pre-.
vailed--tbat the servant who has escaped from
his master unto the Iron City, shall not be de-
livered unto his master. The leader in this
gang of runaways, is the boy Lewis'-Louis
Kossutf-and the whole company belongs to
our Northern brethren of Austria The boy
Lewis is of light complexion, but not SO light
as to pass for white"

SOMETHING FOR ABoLrTIoNIsTs TO Read
About two years ago, two negro men belong
ing to Mrs. Ridge, now dead, and then widow
of Major Ridge of the Cherokee nation, ran
away. Nothing had been heard from them
since they left, until few days ago, when one
of them by the name of William, large likely
fellow, stepped into the house where he left his
old mistress, and voluntarily surrendered him.
self to Mr.. Stand Waits, its present occupant
and administrator of the estate of Mrs, Ridge
Mr.. w. was very much surprised to see him
nor did he know he was in the neighborhood
until he walked into the house and fell upon his
knees. 1t appears that he has been part OF
his time in Iowa, free State, and came imme-
diately from that place home. Here is an in
stance of negro preferrng slavery to freedom
in free State
ANoTHER.--A negro man was taken to Cali
fornia by Mr.. J. r. Ridge, of Benton county
and a formal contract entered into to free him
at the expiration of certain time. The negro
served his master faithfully in the gold State,
and had completed the contract within five
months, when he voluntarily returned to Ben
ton county, preferring perpetual slavery in
Arkansas, to freedom in California. What
will Abolitionists say to these facts!

The MEXICAN DEBT TO ENGLrsHMEN.
Faconnet, the agent of the Mexican bondholders
in London, informs the chairman Of the committee
that he has received means for the government to
pay the last January dividend. For this purpose
he had been provided with orders on the various
custom-houses of the Republic to receive all the
moneys due for that portion of duties appropriated
to the foreign dabt ofMex:co. He had also ship
ped 1000 to Barring, Bros & Co. To provide
against any deficiency the government of Mexico
delivered assignment for $3.50 900 on the Amer
lean indemnity money, payable in May next, to
be returned to the Mexican treasury in the case
only that the full amount Of the advance to be
made, or its value, should have been shipped from
the different ports ofthe Republic before it becomes
due. This amount is entirely Independent of the
sum of2s millions previously assigned on oount
OF arrears Of dividend.

The GRAVE OF WAsHINcroN's MornER.--A
correspondent of the Lowell Courier, writing from
Virginia, says that while in Fredericksburg which
was for some time the residence of Washington
while young man, and where he was made a
Mason, he had the curiosity to examine the house
in which Washington lived 1t is spacious brick
edfce, in most excellent repair, and though un
tenanted now bids fair, with proper oversight, to
last sound for many years. The ceiling walls are
adorned with elaborate stucco work, the slairways
wide, and the halls very commodious Back of
the house is the tomb OF Washington's mother,
which is in sadly neglected and dilapida,ed con
dition. For come reason or other, it has never
been finished, a part of the marble lying in rough
state, not ten feet from the foundation on which
1t should rest, and thus in the very birth State Of
the immortal Washington, constant dishonor and
dIsrespect are shown to the sacred ashes of his
mother. Her tomb is unfinished to this day.

Commercial Union is recommended, to obtain
complete and entire free trade with the United

would be included the complete extinction Of all

General Hopkins has politely handed US. We
have also seen letter to the same officer, dated
as far back as November III, 1851 from Captain
flanagan, describing trail of Indians and hogs
that they had driven off, by himself and brother.
Through the Sentinel, it was also stated, that
Captain flanagan came up with Indians driving
off hogs in tho early part of January. Mr.
Hughey, the author of this note, is man Of
unquestionable veracity. From his information,
there appears to have been at least Ga brush"
on the frontier.
MELLoNvLLE, Orange co., Feb 10, 1852.
Sir; flanagan has been with the Indians
again. he has captured two, and they think
another was killed; and no doubt the ball is
opened, rs the war-whoop has been heard in our
land. We know not what may become of our
families. We want aid speedily. We think our
families are in great danger.
