E- The Democracy of the Western

H The Democracy Of the Western
District are beginning to ''spunk up" on the
gubernatorial question, asserting that that
end of the State has had the "go-by" quite
often enough, and hereafter they intend to
claim full share Of the honors and emolu-
ments. The democratic papers of the Mid
die Division are not pleased with this display
of sectional spirit, and are trying to butter
their brethren Of the "west end' with meek
words and lamb-like concessions. Most es-
pecially is the Nashville Union and American
aggricved at the il-timed filings from the De.
strict They say it is true, the Middle Divi.
sion has always had the candidate for Gov.
ernor, but there has never been any design in
it, and that it only "just happened So" OF
course it did; and it will continue to happen
so. For is not Nashville in the Middle and
Grand Division, and isn't Nashville the Capt..
tol Of the State, and do not the democratic
leaders Of that highly-favored region regard
all who dwell beyond the shadow of its
walls rs "outside barbarians"

Mn. WILLIAMS, alias THE BOURBON
The Northern papers are filled with articles
about Mr.. Williams, recently turned up
among the Canadian Indians, who, it is con-
tended, Is not Mr.. Williams at all, but n real
Prince, the lost Dauphin of France, son Of
Louis XVIII, who was spirited away during
the sanguinary revolution in which his father
was guillotincd. From the noise that is
made on the subject, should the gentleman
turn out to be real Bourbon, instead Of
plain Eleaser Williams rs he has heretofore
been known, tits thought that Young Ameri-
ca will take him up and run him for the
Presidency at the expiration of Gen. Pierces
term.

Discomfort IN EUROPE. An American
gentleman, writing to the Boston Journal,
from Paris, confirms what every intelligent
traveller in Europe must have observed. He
says
In Austria despotism is doing its work; by
pushing matters too far, she is preparing
trouble for herself in the future, and that
future not very remote one. affirm, as
the result of personal knowledge, that there
is not province of Austria that is not dis
contented. Italy is but one mass of conspi-
racies, and the beheading of n dozen conspi-
rators but calls into existence ten times that
number Hungary is quiet, but it is only
the quiet of a temporary exhaustion, render
cd more necessary by the hordes of the Car
still lowering on her borders. The Slavic
provinces, the supporters of Austria in her
struggle with Hungary, are murmuring.
Bohemia is discontented; and the Tyrolese
that noble people, whose patriotism and
whose courage have become proverbial, who,
in lS4S, received with outstretched arms the
Emperor, flying from his capital-are now
ready to join any movement which shall pre-
sent prospect Of freeing them from the
enormous burdens under which they are
grooming.

~" The Washington Republic, at the

days consumed in points of ORDER the Speak

estate of the late VIM. Tefft, of Parkersburg,
Va, about two years ago, and went to Ohio,
have recently voluntarily returned to slavery,

rg" The New York Herald, paper that
welded vast influence in the late Presiden-
tial contest, speaks in the following strain
in regard to what should be the policy of the
new administration
1t is plainly impossible that the present
heterogeneous elements OF the Democratic
party can be welded together into homo
geneous mass II is mistake to net in refer
ence to this object especially. II will be the
paramount duty of General Pierce, out of
these conflicting materials, to organize and
mould into shape a new party, resting, as its
basis, upon the general policy and principles
of his administration. The division Of the
spoils will lead to disappointment, inevitably,
and to desertions of individuals, and, perhaps,
of whole factions at time. But little OF
the iron will and resolution of old Hickory
will overcome all such petty Obstacles
They must be expected. They cannot be
avoided. But the president elect is free to
act with perfect independence of oil the fac
tons of the party. He is under no special
obligations to any of them. He Is pledged,
however, to the Union, the Compromise
measures, and their preservation intact. He
may fulfil this duty without recognizing the
Buffalo platform or the Nashville Convention,
either in the appointment of his Cabinet or
in the measures of his administration.

W A southern editor, in referring to
Gen. Pierce's advent into the White House
at Washington, this day, enumerates long
list of impossibilities which he recommends
him to perform, and then says: "let him do
these things, and he will ensure his re.elec-
ton, and render his name co-equal with that
of Jackson" The new President ought to
feel very grateful for the wholesome advice
his friends are spreading before him.

ASPECTS IN FRAKcE.--A letter from Paris
to The Independent contains the following.
We give it as confrmatory of our own opin-
ion that the Peace Of Europe hangs by n
brittle thread:
"The Imperial Marriage is what we call in
French, un coup de tete, freak of fancy. Its
announcement has been deadly blow upon
public funds. The failure of the protracted
efforts made to unite Bonaparte with crown
ed family, struck the money market with ter
ror; and the rumors of i'll will Of the north
ern powers, cause dread Of war pretty gen.
eral. II is considered as a certain thing that
Prussia, Austria and the whole Of Germany,
have acknowledged the Empire with so ma
ny restrictions, explanations, and comments,
that their position before it is almost hostile.
Bonaparte is said to be perfectly mad against
all Europe. The contempt with which he
is looked upon by all the mOnarchs, and es.
pecially by those who most openly encour-
aged his crimes against freedom, is known to
him, and he dreams of revenge. He is still
an adventurer; he loudly speaks of peace, and
he is preparing for war. The moneyed men,
the aristocracy of France, who were united
! with him in his conspiracy against the Re.
public, are turning silently against him, as
i well rs the monarchs of the North. You
may expect some great outbreak before long
on the part of that strange man. Be moi
surprised if you hear that one day, sudden
~, he has put new and heavy tax upon
property, income, &C., and declared war ia
some neighboring nation. Taking money
from the rich would please the ignorant
masses, and lend to Bonaparte their help in
a war in which il would be easy to engage
that powerful shadow-national honor"

much as driven new nail into any tangible
platform of principles, on which great party
can stand with firmness and honor. But, in
reality, there is no such party rs "YOung
America" A few individuals started the
name few months ago, without reflection,
and without discretion, bnt no prominent
Democratic politician has announced himself
one of the number, Ifany sagacious states
man felt that a new principle ought TO be es-
tablished he would perceive, ut once, that his
only ground of hope would be to bring the

party would only defeat his idea and destroy
himself. What is called @Youug America"
has had neither head nor body - nothing bus

rumor was causing great Consideration in

Bermuda for some more English ships-of-

largely increased. An effort is to be made

RAILROAD lRON,-The duty on railroad IRON
is the subject of an editorial III the New York
Courier and Enquirer. The editor is opposed
to the measure proposed, and argues shat;
The price must rise or fall according to the
position of the English iron interest, which
for the present rule it absolute. We open
our ports to English railroad iron, and increase
the demand thereby largely. With the num-
Der of railroads seeking to be built here, and
the tendency of our population to go ahead
more rapidly than discreetly, and to secure to-
themselves in any way the advantages of this
kind of communication, it is very evident that
the demand for railroad iron will become very
large during this and the next two or three
wears, and will be exceedingly increased by
opening our ports, until a saving revulsiOn
reinduces prudence and consideration. The
tendency of the increased demand for rails
consequent upon the removal of the duty will
not be merely to maintain the present high
prices of iron, but to increase the prices OF all
classes. Iron will be lower than now but not
so low as the difference of duty would ut
present Indicate while the increased opera
lions in England will advance the prices of
all other irons, and in that way will tax the
general consumers here more than the gain
on the rails will compensate. And when the
iron-masters of England, led by the state Of
the market TO make every forge perform its
maximum duty, accumulate again large
stock of material Oh hand, they will drop the
prices to retain the control Of OuT markets,
and our iron-works will be again forced to
reduce all their operations and in part to sus-
pend them. It is very evident that this di-
lemma is more than probable.
