Democra :y-its Origin.

We frequently hear it remarked at the
present time, that "'there is SO little differ
between parties now, that it is unneces-
sary to keep up distinctions" You who
have battled long for the success of equal
look, before you leap into the abyss.
There are great, vital, immortal truths con-
nected with, and flowing from that term; as
everlasting as the hills around us, or the
Valleys upon which we tread. Though
some protesting the name, may abandon us
teachings, while its enemies may more close
" approximate its virtues, YET those princi-
pies ale as distinct from all other theories
and formations of society, as is light from
darkness. Democracy alone, is the advo-
cate OF equal and exact justice to all-oI
special privilege to none. Its foundations
are coexistent with the creation of man; its
origin is in the law Of the Supreme Dispo-
Ser of all good, who most emphatically de.
clares 81 da no reSpecter Of perSonS.''-
Who "maketh his sun TO rise on the evil
and on the good, and sendeth rain on the
Just and on the unjust" Man processes tc
found human government. Yet, while the
divine autl.o continually expresses The nat
ural equality, man, in protesting to trans.
cribe those laws makes continual provisions
the more IS it democratic in its nature; the
more special in its nature, the more anti
democratic. Ths great difficulty is, the
world is governed too much. Laws should
all be general, and few Would suffice; should
be simple, and their administration would
be easy

Thomas Francis Mengher.

This distinguished gentleman was pres
ent at the celebration Of st. Patrick's day
by the Hiberrian Society of Charleston, s.
O., and in reply TO a complementary toast,
made a very excellent speech upon the occa-
sion.
In conclusion, he said that as had declsr-
his intention of becoming a citizen az this
happy and 1ourishing country, he now ac-
knowledged no other Government than that
Of the United States Of America, and wh.s'
ever efforts in behalf of his native land he
might deem it incumbent on him to make
hereafter, they should be made as became a
citizen of the Uuited States. Nothing
should be done illicitly or illegally. His
conduct should be governed strictly and
rigidly by the obligations he had assumed,
to obey the Constitution and laws of the
country he had adopted as his own. He
took strong ground in favonr of the princi-.
pies of civil and religious liberty all over the
globe.

Serious Accident.

A calamitious accident happened in Pitts.
burg, on Friday last, at the warehouse oil
Clark & Thaw, on the corner of Wayne and
Penn. streets. A portion of the wall, says
the Pos, Of that large warehouse, fronting
on the canal, fell out, and by that means a
gleat portion of the second floor was broken
through, and the contents of the floor and
roof OF the building fell in with a tremen-..
dous crash. There were stored on the sew
eral floors upward of two thousand bar
reIs of flour and ether articles, most of which
fell through to the first story. The Post
adds:
At the time Of the accident a canal boat
was laying in front of the warehouse door,
where in had just been unloaded. A por-
ton of the brick and rgb.is. fell op this boat
breaking the upper.deck through, and slight
ly i~njuImg to men who were in the canal
boat, whose names were unknown. One ,

injured by the falling bricks. Mr.. L. s.,
Clark one Of the firm, was standing in the
warehouse door, experimenting the men
who were. engaged in unloading the boat;
when he preceived what was about to hap
pen he cleared the canal.boat at one jump.
and escaped severe injury by a "ducking."
A number of hands were employed in
the interior of the warehouse; a majority
escaped, but all were not so fortunate. The
following persons were taken out of the
ruins:
James Purcell, a Theoretically hurt and
bruised, and injured internally in a danger
Gus manner, II is thought that he cannot
survive.
Patrick Fitzgerald, a laborcr--had his
arm broken, head cut, and was otherwise
injured.
John Grey, principal warehouse man.
Mr.. Grey received several flesh wounds.
John Ward, a laborer, also received seya
cral slight wounds and bruises. A number
of others were injured, but not severely.
The cause of this occurrence is unknown,
1t is supposed, however, that the foundation
OF. the building had given away, owing to
the action of water. Either this was the
case, or there was too great "a weight on the
s second floor.

complimentary notice of the great gun Of
Whiggery in Ohio, Thomas Corwin. 1t

Mr.. Elisha Whittlesery, First controller of

ment will be a most welcome one to all parts

the loss of this %oficsr, nor will the depart

The Pork Trade

We regaet TO learn that the Pork Packers
throughout the country will sustain a heavy
loss this season. The article is now selling
at lower prices than many of the packers
paid on foot. Wehave heard no explanation
of this decline in prices, but many. attribute
it to the great scarcity OF money which pre-
walls at the present time. We have thought
during the season that it would be impos-
sible for many of those engaged in the pack
ing business to save themselves at the prices
they we're paying for hogs, and we are sor-
ny to hear now that our fears have proved
but too true.-PNS. Post.

R The last Wheeling Argus comes to us in
mourning on account Of the death Of its late talented
and able editor, DR.. JOHN DUNHAM, who departed
this life at his residence in that city, on Sunday, the
9th ult. A contemporary says that DR.. d. was orig
inally from the city of New York, where, in former
years, be was connected with the Editorlal depart
ment of the Evening Post. From there he moved to
st. Clairsvile, Ohio, aud soon afterwards became
editor and proprietor of the ST. Clairsyille Gazette, in
which capacity he earned for himself the reputation
of being an able and spicy writer, and a radical,
State-right Democrat. Among the country press of
Ohio, Dunham's Gazette always maintained the
highest rank. For the past four years he was editor
and proprietor of the Wheeling Daily Argus, a paper
which we always read with great pleasure. 1t was
admirably conducted. The disease of which DR..
Durham died, was Consumption. May the turf be
ever green above his grave.
