to cherish the northern wings, no matter what
they do and to distrust and repudiate the
northern democrats, no matter what they do.
For instance, if the northern wings shall be-
come repealers and abolitionists, they will still
be more deserving of respect than the northern
democrats who oppose repeal, oppose aboli-
tionism and freesoilism, and adhere to tbe
Constitution. The Louisville Journals COM
ment on all this would be, that the whig aboli-
tionists were honest abolitionists, while the
democrats were hypocritical in their support of
the Constitution. A miracle would not con-
vince the Louisville Journal that a democrat
could be honest ora whig false. 1t is fortu-
nate, however, that most human beings Judge
men by their acts; and if the northern wings
shall turn out abolitionists, and the democrats
remain true to themselves and their country,
their conduct will furnish the rule by which
they will be judged. Instead of endeavoring
to scare northern wings from fusion with the
abolitionists, the Journal is engaged in the
effort to drive the southern wings into that fu-
sion. 1t will find, however, that its southern
brethren will not be driven. We hope so at
least EtsWf

the vitality of the principle" 1--WE are not
quite sure what principle he means) in the
individual citizen has been vindicated? Is
Kosta's the only instance, and this the first
time, that the inyiolability of the liberty Of an
American citizen has been constituted a aa-
tional dogma? 1--WE leave the eagle fight out
of the question.) The only oasis in this hifalu-
tin article to an intelligent reader, is the
Haunting assertion, which, though it has not
officially transpired, we must believe to be true,
that "imperious Spain has yielded to our just
demands for former and later injuries
= "Thus has the security of the citizen been
established, and the dignity and glory Of the
nation sustained and advanced throughout the
world, by his exercise Of the sovereignty of the
people intrusted to. his hands.
"How has he exercised this sovereignty at
home ?'
Now, we feel half disposed to grow serious
for this youthful tyro seems inclined to com
NIT his orthodox democratic journal to most
dangerous federal principle, wholly as danger
Gus as its early advocacy of the construction
of the Pacific railroad by the general govern
ment, and whose article made SO jubilant our
esteemed but federal contemporary of the
National L,telligencer, that he fancied himself
reading one of Mr.. Clays splendid efforts in
favor Of q general internal improvement sys-
tenn. Does the Washington Union mean to
say that there is any such thing as the sover.
eighty of the people Of the United States
Does it mean to merge the sovereignty and
rights of the States Of this Union into the
federal but we had hoped obsolete idea, that
the people of the whole country can transfer it {?
Or does he mean that the Executive holds in
the hollow of his hand any such delegated
sovereignty? Why, it is in direct opposition
to, and violation Of, the very spirit ofour Unior.
Really, with all due Difference, and not unkind-
ly, we must say our young unknown has made
a great mistake in his understanding of the
democratic creed. The Union thus closes
DIN the illustrious roll of our patriot Presi-
dents, where, since the days Of Washington,
will history point to one more clear in his
high Office than Franklin Pierce? In pace
decus, in bello pr9sidium.'"

particularly the Latin, for which we will ever
feel grateful for it brings back our schoolboy
days. Please write English, and stop your

B6y We have received from Messrs. Taylor
& Maury, very nicely gotten up volume en-
titled "Nordurfari, or Rambles in Iceland" by
Pliny Miles. The subject is certainly very
novel and attractive, and from hasty glance
through the volume, we feel that we do not
venture too far in saying that the author has
made the most of his subject.
From the same source, we have received an
engraved likeness Of Senator Seward, of New
York, which, by the way, is one Of the very best
likenesss, as well as engravings, that we have

The black spirits and white, blue spirits and
gray are to meet in convention at Saratoga
over their political caldron, into the boiling
fluid of which, each is in turn to drop its prin-
ciples to form broth. On this solitary dish
all are to regale themselves. The selfsacri-
6cing anti-Nebraska wings of the south (who
hazard SO much for the sake of harmony and
good brotherhood) are called upon with all
the rigidity of political Lent to abstain from
all other food, and feast upon the unctious
negro dish, prepared in the boiling cauldron at
Saratoga for breakfast, negro for dinner, and
for supper negro still-negro all the time, and
nothing but negro. They are to verify the
virtue of the old proverb "toyours perdrir."
This convention will doubtless adopt as its
motto, and emblazen on its banner the senti-
ment given by the negro in honor Of the great
abolitionist : "He got white-skin, but he hab a
black heart" The entire white population of
the north, with all their multifarious interests,
are to be totally ignored, and covered with the
mantle of silence. Tariff and antitariff are
TO hug each other in fraternal embrace; the
Irish Catholic and the know-nothing are to lie
down lovingly together; internal improvement
and anti-internal improvement men are to
know no difference Office holders and outsiders
are to sit cheek by jowl in brotherly concord
all, all in one accord, at the bidding of the
great high priest in Albany are to bow down
and worship the yelled prophet of Africa.
This convention will have but one parallel
in history, and that is Barnum's happy family"
in which terrier, cat rat, and bird, live in
seeming harmony. But it is very clear that
the terrier alone wears an easy heart the others
well knowing that their safety is bounded by
the limits of his forbearance.
Thus in the convention, the abolition terrier
invites southern whig rat to the harmonious
convention, promising not to kill him, If he
will only commit suicide.
If more beastly spectacle can be presented
to the nation than such a convention as is
promised at Saratoga, we arc at a loss to ina
gine it.
