The conflicting sections of the Democratic
family in St. Louis continue, most unkindly,
to disregard the prayers and representations
of our contemporary, the Union. Instead Of
realizing the harmony it anticipated, they APP
pear resolved to do all tina, is possible to in
crease the bitterness of the long existing
quarrel.
The St. Louis papers Of the 29th nit. are
filled with accounts of Democratic meeting
held in that city on the previous Saturday,
which, according to concurrent testimony, was
characterized by dsgraceful amount Of acri-
mony and disturbance. We take the statement
Of the Signal, journal attached to neither
party, only regretting that we have not room
for the fuller AID more pquant sketch Of the
Republican;
''The facts which led 10 the disturbance about
follows: The anti Benton wing of the Dcmocra-
tic party objccting to the ticket which had been
framed a basis Of union and compromise, had
called mass meeting at the rotundo for the eve
ming in question, with view to nominate ticket
Of its own. In its call for the meeting, IL specified,
fit persons TO participate in lite proceedings,
those who subscribed 10 the Baltimore resolutions
Of ls40-st-4s. Now. all who profess the De-
mooratic faith subscribe, at lcast nominally, to
those resolutions, n door was thereby opened for
tho action Of the other wing Of The party, and. en-
terng therein it assembled in oyerv be lining um-

occasion. Bot AZ competent witnesses describe it,

"a crisis is approaching that must, if it cannot
be arrested, soon decide whether order and good
government shall be preserved, or anarchy and
confusion can most religiously aver
have wish that is incompatible with the dig
nifty happiness, and true interest of the people Of
this country. My ardent desire is, and my aim
has been, as far as depended upon the Executive
: Department. to comply strictly with all our
gagements, foreign and domestic; but to keep the
United States free from political connexions with
every other country, to see them independent
Of all and under the influence of none. In a word
: / want american character, that the powers of
Europe may be convinced we act for ourseioss,
and not for others. This in my judgment, is the
.only way to be respected abroad and happy at
home; and not, by becoming the partsans of G reat
Britain France, create discussions, disturb the
public tranquility, and destroy, perhaps forever,
the cement which bnds the Union.".

Foundation Walls OF the Extension OF the

The Senate Committee on the Public Build
ngs having been instructed to make thorough
examination of the work thus far executed on
the extension OF the Capitol, as TO the uniform
iiy Of the strata upon which the walls rest, the
quality and dimensions Of the stone and the
quality of the mortar, the mode Of construction
and power of resistance, and every thing affect
ing the stability and permanence of the whole
structure, addressed letters to the Chiefs of the
Engineer Corps and of the Typographical En-
gineers, requesting that two competent officers
might be appointed from each corps to make an
examination. The reports of these officers at
test the sufficiency Of the foundations and the
general good character Of the work; and the
committee, therefore, in consideration of the
favorable season, and the number of workmen
on the building unemployed, recommend the
immediate prosecution Of the work.
