Tho Republic.


THIS republic presents two aspects to the
philosophical observer These are her his
torical and her actual aspects. In the former,
her countenance is resplendent with virtue,
her brow is covered with glory, and justice
and liberty bear up her hands; in the latter,
she seems callous as statue, the broken scales
of justice are beneath her heel, and freedom
looks at her through the gratings Of prison.
Let us be somewhat particular. Our repub-
lie, viewed through the media of the Declare
ion of Independence, Constitution. and Rev.
olution, presents a spectacle Of political vir-
tue, moral grandeur, and generous realization
of Democratic freedom, such as never was
presented in the history Of the world. The
same republic, viewed through the media of
the Fugitive Slave law, the rendition of Sims,
and the capture and imprisonment of Burns,
looks worse than ever Austria looked in the
days of the Vehm Gerecht. In the FIRST aspect
she is what our true hearted fathers made
her; in the second, she is what compromises,
slave propagsndists, and northern doughfaces
have made her. The question left for as now
to consider, is, which of these shall become
the permanent and fixed features of her polli-
ty and of her historys Shall we return to
the policy of our fathers or shall we contin-
ue to go down to the depths of national dis
honor and ruins We boast of the virtues of
our fathers; shall we henceforth practice thems
We affect to be proud Of the freedom which
our ancestors left us and shall we any more
permit SHAREHOLDERS to fitch it from us, and
submit to their mandates while they scorn-
fully bid us keep stills The Republican par
ty accepts one of the alternatives presented by
the past and present Of the republic. 1t goes
for a return to the policy of the fathers. It
takes issue with slavery propagandists, dough-
faces, trucking politicians, 6libusters, and
so called ''national' parties. 1t goes for re-
storing the republic to the unsullied glory Of
former years, and for reinstating freedom at
Washington as an American principle. No
true Northern man can look with indifference
upon the principles and objects of this party
no true American patriot can refuse to aid
and support it.

TWO WEEKS LATER
FROM CALIFORNIA.
Arrival OF THE GEORGE LAW.
Imporlnnt from sonora!


SANDY Hook, Oct. ~, IL 10 o clock.-The
steamship George Law, from Aspinwall on the
evening of the 18th, has arrived off here.
She brings the California mails to Sept. 3Oth,
$l,0S2,604 in gold, and sos passengers bro't
down by the steamship Sonora. The steam
ship Yankee Blade, which left San Francisco
in company with the Sonora, had not been
heard of at Panama up to the time of the sail
ing of the George Law from Aspinwall, and
fears were entertained that some accident had
befallen her.
The steamship George Law, from Aspin-
wall, with California dates to the 30th ult.,
has arrived.
There is but little news from California.
From Fregon, we learn that terrible mas
sacre of overland emigrants had been commit
ted by the Wineras Indians ON Boise river,
near Fort Boise.
The persons killed were Alex. Ward, wife
and seven children, Samuel Mlligan, and Mr..
Babcock, Of Lexington, Missouri DR.. Adams
and brother, of Michigan; Mr.. Anon, and
Mr.. White and child, of Missouri; and two
Germans and Frenchman whose names are
not known.
The Indians carried off forty head of cattle,
five horses. and about $40, 600. A consider
able force had been sent i'll pursuit.

The BATTLE FIELD.-The following account
of the field of battle after the great action of
Alma, is from British paper:
The field of battle was crowded on the 2lst
with officers from the feet, carrying TASKS of
brandy and water, visiting the wounded, and
giving them all the relief in their power
The doctors from the ships were on shore all
night, giving medical aid. So many soldiers
from each regiment were told off to bury the
dead; the Russians were buried outside the
mounds; the English and French inside
There was great spoil ON the field-coats,
dresses, swords, guns, rifles, &c., &c., and in
some instances large sums of money. Every
body brought off some memento-either
sword, casque, or musket. The Highland
bonnets, | regret to say, formed quite heap.
1t appears that a certain class of visitors
made a profitable days work by visiting the
field of battle; almost every one found"
something. One l heard boast tina: he had
picked up nine revolvers, and fifty sovereigns;
and one, Maltese, is reported to have realized
upwards of ESQ in gold. Coats, boots, &c.,
were all taken off by the pillagers, and in
many cases the gold lace ripped off the uni.
forms of the dead.

TELEeRAPHIc DEsPAToH.-The New York
Herald, as an illustration of the advantages of
the telegraph, to the reading public, mentions
that on Friday last, the steamship Africa was
signalized off that port at about l o'clock in
the afternoon. At o'clock the steamer was
boarded, off Sandy Hook, by the Clipper news
yacht Of the Associate Press, and the impor-
tant intelligence brought from Europe, was
almost instantly transferred to the Sandy
Hook telegraph Office, by means of carrier
pigeons. from whence it was transmitted over
the wires to that city, where it was published
an hour in advance of the steamers arrival at
her dock at Jersey City. AT about the same
moment the passengers stepped on shore from
the Africa, the news was being read iu New
Orleans, Halifax, Quebec, ST. Johns, and the
intermediate towns.

HE FIRE AND EXPLOSION AT NEWCASTLE,
ENeLAND.-The English papers give the par
ticulars of the fire and explosion at Newcastle
and Gateshead, England, previously briefly
reported by telegraph. The fire commenced
at the worsted mandatory of Mr.. Wilson, in
Gateshead, and spread to another factory, con-
tanning naptha or saltpetre, and it is believed,
gunpowder. At time when the burning
buildings were surrounded by vast crowd of
people, terrible explosion occurred, the
shock of which was felt for miles. Several
houses in the immediate BeIghborhood were
thrown down; others were seriously injured,
and large stones and pieces of timber were
hurled to immense distances; large masses of
ignited matter were projected to the other
side of the river; and very few minutes
elapsed before it was discovered that con-
siderable portion Of the buildings in Newcas-
tie; Immediately opposite the confagration at
Gateshead, were also on fire. A universal
stupor seems to have prevailed after the ex-
plosion, first broken by the screams and wall
ings of women and children, and by the igni-
ton of the houses on the Newcastle side of the
river. In addition to 20 dead bodies that were
recovered from the ruins, III persons more or
less injured, were carried to the Newcastle In
Urinary. of these, five persons have died
since their admission, and two more are not
expected to recover. 1t is impossible to state
exactly the number of deaths that have occur
red from this sad disaster, as, in the confusion
and excitement no lists have been left at any
Of the police stations. 1t is close upon forty.
The fire is said to have been the most disas-
trous that any town in England has expe-
rienced since the great fire in London. 1t
ragged for forty-three hours. The loss of prop
erty is estimated at more than five millions of
dollars.
