Democratic Progression.

We have no sympathy wi tn Young America
when he only aims at having his own way
rudely pushing whom he terms his old Fogy,
grandfather, to one side, jeering at himfor his
old-fashioned notions, and resoluteIy discard
ing the lessons hoth Of age and experience.
We say we do not like to see the young chap
get so saucy, and show SO plainly, what Mrs
Partington calls his imperence"-a due re-
spect for the teachings and notions of the aged,
even if they do seem old-fashoned, we can
but think commendable, and SO far we are in
the Old Fogy interest and blush not to own it.
But if Young America is entitled to the credit
of originating and supporting the great doc
trines Of National progress, then we are with
Young America. But we do not believe the
saucy fellow is entitled to all the credit even
in this point of view.
These remarks are intended to preface few
words relative to the Government policy, shad-
owed forth by the cabinet officers in their
speeches, lately made in New York. jeff
Davis is for the Pacifi Railroad, and he offers
the best arguments for its absolute necessity,
with which we have met, and we believe they
are likewise originA with him, not the least
important, Of which is the means for the trans
portation of soldiers in case of war on our
Pacific frontier. But that to which we par
ticularly referred in the outset of this article,
is the doctrine advanced by Gen. Cushing in
favor Of extending the area of our territory
The following is an extract from this part Of
his speech;
1--WE are the men of modern Rome. How
was it with old Romeo She conquered
went on annexing according to the law of her
existence. She carried her arms wherever the
law Of her destiny dictated, that they should
be borne; aud she, as we ourselves in our own
dav have witnessed, marched from battlefield
to battlefield, conquering and to conquer; for
where except in the modern Rome. has it been
seen, as it was seen in those battle-felds of
Mexico - .
There can bo no pause in our progress ex-
cept the pause of decay. When we cease to
grow we shall begin to perish. ] say when
we cease to grow, we shall begin to perish I;
for upon us, as republic, is impressed, not a
curse,' (though it was the curse of him, who
thrust from his door the thi,sting Savior on
His way to Calvary,) it was his curse, that the
vengeance Of Sod should pronounce over him
as the perpetual sentence of his sin--mareh,
march, march-for him there was no pause.
| say, as on him was pronounced the curse, on
lis has been poured down the benediction; for
as that same devine voice has said march,
march, onward, upward, so long as there re-
mains celestial light in the infinite regions Of
greatness, which it is possible for h~man pow
er to scale.n

yellow FEVER IN New ORLEANs.-The
official reports of interments published in the
New Orleans papers of Tuesday last, present a
frightful list Of mortality.
"The Board of Health report SS4 interments
for the week ending Sunday morning, July 81
of which, 740 were fromepidemic yellow few
er. The interments on Sunday were l42, of
which, 106 were of yellow fever,-for Monday
they were 1876, of which, lis were from the
same disease"
This gives mortality for nine consecutive
days of 1852 of which 925 were of yellow few
er, and 81 of unknown diseases. In all prob
ability much the larger portion of the latter
were Of the prevailing epidemic.
The telegraph at this place, reports a large
increase of mortality within few days past:
For the "a hours, ending on Saturday last
24o deaths were reported.
One of the Editors of the Crescent, an as
s'stant Editor of the Picayune, and Captain
Ure, ofthe steamer Gipsy, are reported dead.

on The administration; it Is only those that al
low themselves to be used as eats paws, 70
garble and misconstrue anything and every
thing. even at the sacrifice Of the most sacred
principles. But a short time since these same
whiq papers were going to all lengths for the
settlement Of these yexed questions, but after
discovering that their own party is entiriy
incompetent to accomplish anything in this
way and that the democratic party has fair
prospect of doing away with the issues that
have harrassed the country, all their force is
thrown in opposition to so desirable result.
Such has always been the course of the whig
party. Defeat does not teach it wisdom.
