Judge Bronson would not descend Ia this un-

self to the political prostitution, concocted at
Washington. He placed himself ON high ma
tional ground aud told the minons Of power to
do their worst. He would not hold parley with

Pierce. And the word was: "Off with his head"

nd.a.ine of the National Democrats-A BIT Ct a
Row

Mating Of the National DemocTats-A bit q
Row.
The National Democrats of Washington mel
last Monday night To congratulate the Hards OF
New York. upon the result of the late election
Charles :. Wallaoh presided. Cornelius W.
Wendell offered a series of resolutions, and H.
: Radcliffe made a speech in opposition to their
ton. charging ON the movers OF the meeting
hostility to the President and design to sink the
administration. This created great excitement
in the midst Of which Wendell replied.
Mr.. Oyerton, after the turmoil had subsidized
was called ontand briefly stated that the question
was NOT opposition to the Administrations but
whether freesolsm should be an element IN the
democratic party
The question on the resolutions was Called Wheh
Mr.. Radcliffe reminded gentlemen that this was
AN attack ON the administration. Wendell DENIED
it, when much excitement followed, parties almost
coming to blows.
Before the question was distinctly put, W III. H.
Thomas, deputy collector of the port, sprang up
on the platform, and moved an adjournment, prl-
or to which he moved three cheers for the admin
istration which were given. Wallach, the chair
man, then struck Thomas, knocking him from the
PLATFORM when general melee ensued lasting
sometime, but ending in nothing serious. The
meeting of course was cffectually broken up.
The National Democrats subsequently serena
died Beverly Tucker.

What win England and France do

The passage of the combined fleets, through
the Darianelles into the SEA Of Aarmora, cannot
be regarded as less than warning and menace
to the Car. aud morally commits the govern
ments of England and France to participation
in the war which Russia has cunniugly and
pertinaeionsly brought about with Turkey And
yet it does not appear, from the foreign adviees,
that those two Powers. or either of them has
solved to make itself an immediate and active
party to the collision, of which we have already
heard the first distant and rumbling sound.
From all the circumstances. it would seem that
the English and French fleets were originally
dered towards Constantinope. more for the pur
pose OF intimidation, aud to give strength TO the
intercessons that were being made in behalf of
peace, than with any calculation that they would
eventually become embroiled in the impending
war. That they now not only remain, but have
recently moved forward nearer to the scene of
conflict, Is attributable in some measure, we
imagine, TO a feeling of resentmenton account Of
the little regard paid to their presence by Nicho-
las and to a sense of pride, that Restraints them
from Withdrawing. with nothing accomplished
from position boldly taken. in full view of
the responsibility that attached to it.
But more creditable, aud, we admit, more
probable reason, for the course of these govern
ments. Is 10 be found in the presumption TINT
they haye determined 10 prevent the success Of
the Russians,in getting possession of Constant.
nope. and making themsehes masters of the seas
to which the Hoespout is the key. We shall
probably see England and France aclins Tie part
of spectators only, in the opening scotea Of the
contest, and, if the Porte should prove lie Ii able
to withstand the legion- of Russia aad 10 1site
them back 10 their frozen businesses, they maY
do nothing more But should "a contrary result
occur, and the power Of the Sultan prove toe
feeble to resist the shock, md especially should
the long coveted prize Of Consinntnople seem
about 10 fall into the grasp Of tho Rus-inn despot
then we shall have remonstrance through the
oannons mouth loud enough We hope to pene-
trate the palace ct St Petersburg, aud rouse

T.a Douglas in his Hal.

The New York Times publishes letter from
Washington,in which it is stated that intelligence
has been received from an army officer on the
Rio Grande that two members of the Mexican
Ministry,at the termination Of the war with the
United States, who took an active part in pro-
noting the expulsion of Santa Anna, have been
summarily shot, without even the form of a trial
One Of them was Luis de la Rosa who was
formerly Mexican Minister at Washington
: This intelligence is regarded as very important
as indicating the determination Of Santa Anna TO
test his asoendancy and to act with absolute in
depend ence in his position.

From The Loadon Times Of Nor. LIST.
The intelligence of the armistice between the

cscl 81 tho character which we yesterday de
Imcnted. The interval assigned by Omar Pa

Of the Fur Powers, ia rreiong the term of pre-

rc-gut1tiNes WIS not made without we'll grounded
expectations of u beneficial result and. rs the as
sent Of the Porte 10 the proposition bespeaks in
itself drsife 10 avoid extromltics, we have good
ground for confidence that this last effort in the
cause of pence viii prove successful.
These steps however, were taken before the
collision between the contendng armies he'd oc-
CURED, aud It's not impossible that 50 untoward
uu allan may exercise its influence ON the course
of events Nevertheless, we continue to be of
opinion that such IA result is unlikely, for the en-
counter, II i, plain, WIS no prcmcdiated act of
hosillities aud, iuras it produced any effect
IT appears 10 have been uniaVorahlc To that par
ty which is least likely 10 be eNasperated by the
circumstance. The scene of the atlray not
cNnetly the scene of the expected war. The hos
tile armies OF the Russians and the Turks are sta
toned IN the provinces of WallaChia and Buga-
ria respectively, with the waters of the Danube
between them. Further down the stream-that
Is 10 say from the point OF confluence of the Pruth
the left bank of the Danube becomes Russian
territory the opposite ank,beng formed by the
norhermmost angle of Bulgaria.
1t was at this part of the river that the engage
mcnt occurred. \ Russian Hotilla consisting
of two steamers, with gunboats in tow, was pro-
cerdng To ascend the stream, when it was fired
upon from the fort of Isaktch on the Turkish
bank. The object of the Russians was, doubt
less, to establish communication between the
Black Sea and their own army of occupation, in
Walaehio, but either they approached too close
ly to the Ottoman guns, or the Turks had resoly-
ed toopposo the expedition. 1t will be clearly
dscerned, however that though the Russians
were indeed forcing passage" up the river:
aud were attacked in the attempt, the operation
| i'll no degree resembles movement of the Russi-
an troops across the river against the Turkish
| forces.
a movement of this decisive kind, if made at
all, will be made in all probability from the oppo-
site bank and by the opposite army.
