GRIsI AND MARIO. The last grand novelty to elicit
the admiration of the fools of New York, is the ap-
pearance of Grsi and Mario at Castle Garden. Soon
we shall be RECALLED with the disgusting paragraphs
of the newspapers, relating the exact moment at
which the fair queen of song' took her breakfast
how often she speezed in consequence Of being
struck by the tail of zephyr when she had ftsued
herself by high artistic fight.
We think it we'll enough to show proper appre-
citation of artistic merit but the sycophantic adula-
ton of paid lckspittlcs often witnessed in nor
thern newspapers, is superlatively disgusting. We
expect to see northing often in exchanges for
the next four or six months articles original and
copied of Grisi and Mario. Mario and Gris the only
excuse for which will be dearth of subjects to write
upon, and dearth of brains in the writers.

RUMoEED PURCHASE OF CUBA. The Washington

RUMoRED PURCHASE or CUBA. The Washington
Stas thus dsposes of this rumor:
"The New York Hcrald's last Washington Won
der-is story by telegraph, all about the virtual
conclusion of sale and purchase of Cuba between
the new Spanish government and Mr.. Souc, full
account of which, its correspondent says has been
writer, England and France did their best to help
the trade We have only to say in this connection,
that the story not being believed by any of those
in this city who usually soonest well informed
such subjects, regard it as mere fabrication by
way of presenting "W ashington News" paragraph
likely to be talked 1t will be recollected that
the Herald is famous for essayng to give interest to
its columns by the early publication of notorousy
bogus news from any and all quarters. He who be-
lieves this particular roorback, must have very well
developed bump of credulity, indeed"

~" The following sound and patriotic Resolu-
tons adopted at recent meeting of the DEM
ocracJ of Salem, Massachusetts,. The Wing papers
will find it impossible to produce any such scnti-
ments ON the slavery question put forth by Wing
meeting in the free States:
" "Resolced, That, as democrats we enter upon
the election, ready all times to sustain the princi-
Piles Of the Baltimore platform of 1852 as the basis
of political action in the State and in the ma
ton.
Resolred, That we recognise an obedience to the
principles of that platform in the measures of Gen
era Pierce's administration.
Resolced, That the Nebraska bill, a corsttu-
tional recognition of popular sovereignty in States
and Territories, the pursued on internal i'm
provemcnts, the adoption of economy in our govern
ment instead of the late Wing extravaganza, and the
extension Of safety to citizens and honor to our
flag, both at home and abroad are democratic meas
ures which shed peculiar glory on the present ad-
ministraton, and command our cordial respect and
confidence.
Resolued, That, standing by this administration
and its measures, opposed to free-soism, alb
oltionism, and whiggery; and remembering the glo-
rous days of Jackson, when the people rallied to his
support against sectional politics of every name
and nature we take courage and fight those battles
over again, confident of ultimate success. And We
hereby instruct delegates to the State convention
to be held in Lowell on the 26th of September, to
maintain the integrity of the party by declaring its
adherence to the Baltimore platform, and Its unwa-
vering support of the administration"

RALEIGH NoRTHcARoIINA WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 81, 1854

6y all means Just. Three thousand foreigners, as
they are called or adopted citizens, in North Caro-
lima, and .tiUe hundred thousand natires born! yet
we hear great outcry against foreigners! We tell
you again, brother Democrats, that this is of the
new tricks of old-fashioned Federalism. Look to
the newspapers: Every Democratic paper in the
State is opposed to this movement, while the Whig
papers, if they do not all approve it. evidently SYM
pathize with it and wish it success And what is it
that Whggery, as spoken for by its presses, would
not advocate to ensure Whg victories and the spoils
of power? There are but few of them who would
not, to- morrow, if they were assured of perma-
nent Whig triumph thereby, advocate the Catholic
faith and the predominance of the foreign vote in
our midst. 1t is party with them all the time, and
the last and newest ism, provided it gives promise
of votes and success
"The price of Democracy &c is eternal vigilance
Our adversaries, brother Democrats, alacays at
work. If we would preserve our principles and
maintain our ascendency, we must keep eternal
watch. Beware of isms of all kinds. They may
be tempting to the eyethey may atter the feelings
and appeal to the passions most bewitchingly; but
they are dust and ashes on the lips. Democracy is
strong when reposing on the broad ba-
sis of its own principles never weak as when its
votaries led astray by promises of ideal good,
divided among themselves issues of a doubtful
and temporary character. These isms must pass
away with the ambitions, the prejudices the pas
sions That produced them. They will be succeeded
by others, like wave following in the sea; but
your principles will remain and be, centuries hence,
what they are now. They founded upon the
rock of TRUTH, against which the floods of faction
and hnatcism will beat hereafter heretofore, in
vain. Let look to them and walk by them always,
as the mariner looks to and sails by the Northern
star,

There is fellow in the firnament'

P TIE CHICAGO OUTRAGR-FEARLEss CoNDUcr OF
SENATOR SDoUGLAs The Detroit Free Press has a
correspondent at Chicago, who in giving an account
of the late Douglas meeting in that city, says:
"Up to this time Mr.. Douglas had been frequent
ly and uisgracefully interrupted by rowdies and
groes who had been hired and organized and drill
ed for the purpose of breaking up the meeting.
And now, as he had enlisted the attention of the
crowd, and as his eoquence and logic were begin
ming to be felt, there was no safety for the sable
cause except in preventing the truth being told.
Therefore, acknowledging their fear of the and
his influence over the masses, they again raised
their hideous and beastly howlngs Cries of kill
him!' shoot him!' were heard. And then the
senator presented still boder 'front.' and facing the
multitude, opened the breast of his coat and if ever
any face talked without tongue-if ever any head,
and eye, and lip conveyed definite cxpression-his
did when the cry of kill hun 7 rose from hundred
traitor throats And, reader what do you think his
face told them? Well, near as could interpret
the expression, it read: Gentlemen, rowdies, and
beasts, 1 am not particularly frightened, though
you evidently are If any one thinks his cause will
BE- bettered by shooting me, he can shoot; can't
retreat
That is the way he looked and he drew from his
pocket, very cooy, letter from5the secretary Of
organization in Chicago, which he read along, in
forming himself and friends that he would be pre-
vented from speaking even at the sacrifice of his
tJe;' and told them he had spoken and was happy
to state would speak again in Chicago; and if any
one desired to kill him they could embrace the pre-
sent or some future opportunity, might suit their
own convenience and pleasure. He then proceeded,
notwithstanding the uproar, to speak again, but
succeeded in making himself but imperfectly heard.
Finally, Mr.. Douglas full of faith good humor, and
Young America, at halfpast ten left the stand though
we do believe he would have remained there and
talked them all still, talked until now had it not
been for his friends and their earnest enreates that
he should retire.

THE WHEAT CRoP. The London correspondent
of the New York Courier and Enquirer, express
ses the opinion that the English crop this year will
be above the average, and that they are wholly
touched, by rust, smut, any of the usual enemies
of wheat. He further ventures the assertion that
flour and wheat will decline enormously in very
short time; that present high prices cannot pos
siby last
We have heard the same opinion expressed by in
telligent farmers here within the last few days The
crops in the State seem to have turned out better
than expected, and there is we should suppose,
scarcely any reason to hope that there will be any
advance present prices. If the English and con-
tinental crops, excellent is represented,
disposed to think that there will be very
great decline, and that suddenly. We should thing

eW The Hon. Joseph R. Chandler, of Philadel-
pha, recently set aside and another candidate
nominated for Congress by the Whig or Know Moth
ing Convention on the ground of being Catholic.
But his friends at once called Convention, and
nominated him as an independent candidate. In his
letter accepting the nomination he says:
"Ifre-elected, these efforts shall not be abated
and pledge myself that they shall be joined to an
unfailing vigilance against all inroads and innova-
tons which may have for their objects q weaken
ing of the rights which the Constitution secures to
every citizen of the United States and which rem
der our common country an asylum for those who
objects of prosecuting intolerance, suffer-
ers under the iron heel of relentless despotism."
The Philadelphia Argus says:
1--WE understand from sources entirely reliable,
that Edward Joy Morris, the Whignominee for Con-
gress in the first Congressional District has address
ed letter to the Convention which nominated him,
Withdrawing from the canvass and leaving the field
to Mr.. Titus, his Native and Know Nothing compet-
itor. This proceeding is the result of a vote upon
the candidates. in the Know Nothing lodges, in which
Mr.. Morris was beaten by Mr. Titus, by a vote Of
more than two to 'one."

H The Boston Times states a number of con
stables who assisted in maintaining the supremacy
of the laws at the time of the arrest Of Sims, the
fugitive slate in 1853 have just been turned out of
Office by the Board of Aldermen of that city. This
is offering premium to officers of the law to refuse
to execute the law. Boston is Know Nothing City,
and these constables are punished for simply doing
their duty. What of the murderers of Batchelder,
