The Democratic Party.

The conservative and national spiri.
breathed by the Democracy Of the country,
irrespective of geographical locality, has
won FOR it, emphatically. the proud emil
nence Of being the only national party in
the United States. In New York, where
the Wings have organized under the col
ors Of isms there the Democracy have
come boldly forth to maintain the Consti-
tuition and the laws. In Massachusetts,
where the Wings have united with the
odds and ends Of all factions under the
name Of fusionists, the resolutions Of the
Democratic Convention, assert their strong
attachment to the Constitution-their de-
termination to observe the laws and sustain
the Administration. In New Jersey, Del
aware, Pennsylvania, Iowa, and in every
State where the Democracy have spoken.
it has been for the Constitution, and the
supremacy Of the laws Of the land. These
demonstrations must 60 strengly to rivet
the conviction upon every candid mind,
that the Democratic party is the party tc
subserve and carry out the great aims Of oul
country. As a general thing, deprecatine
and denouncing the various new-fangled
idras which have originated OF been
brought to corrupted maturity, in the 19.h
century, they have adhered TO the Union
and its ..safeguards, with devotion truly
commendable, and re-asserted the princi-
pies Of their policy. with unsnimity,
which forblds Suspicion Of insincerity.
Every member Of the party should fee
proud Of the position now occupied, in the
eyes of the Union, by the organization

Northern WAigs.

The Wing press, % far d there has
been an expression Of opinion, in Virgin
ia, and the South generally, have come
out boldly and manfally, and rePudiated
the Northern Wings. in view Of their re-
cent movements on the Slavery question.
The Richmond Wing justly sssames that
the iies which bind men to theS: howss and
hearthstohes are deaFer than those winch
keep together political organizatioDs-shsi
the honor and Interests Of the South are
paramount to the harmony Of the Wing
party-and hence denounces the Wings
Of the North. and calls on the people Of
the South, to rally, irrespective Of party.
to the support and protection Of the South
and her institutions. The Wing candi-
dates for Governor, Lieut.. Governor. &c.,
in New York, are on the tickets Of some
six OF eight factions. Such as anti.Ne-
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Liquor Law. and
kindred isms. In fact. the wing party Of
the North seems to be totally ismised.--
Its prominent elements are opposition to
Slavery, the Fugitive Slave Law, the re-
peal Of the Missouri restriction, and the
Democratic party in general.
The Democratic party present a noble
contrast in the same locality. We pub
lished, few weeks ago, the substance o.
their rexolutions-announcin their mast
adherence to the Constitution. and the
laws Of the country, and their opposition
TO every form Of agitation calculated to i'm
pair their efficiency. In our next issue,
we shall publish very interesting article
from the Richmond Examiner. compiling
the proceedings Of the various Conventions
ia New Yoyk, Of which Myron II. Clarke
a narrow-minded, bigoted fanatic and sbo-
litioniss, and Raymond, the wbig eandi-
date, are the heed and front.

OIL morality, 10 the DUO la"o VI I've"
England? The thought is presumptuous
lis blasphemous-and at the very first
blush. indicates the length 10 which man
may go-even with the light OF the Bible

IL men desire to reform the moral con-
dition Of the country, let them preach aud
practice the graces Of the spirit. Let the
virtues Of religion-meekness. patience,
temperance and charity-be exhibited in
their daily walks. and then they may hope
to accomplish some permanent good. We
want no patent religion and morals, pro-
,ec,.d and enforced BY statutory compul-
sion. We want no better code Of morals,
and no bette, way Of obtaining them, than
the Bible teaches. He want no better
moral teacher, than Jesus Christ. We
cannot consent that New ,sngland Jug

OF the world. We prefer the morals based ,
upon the eternal truth OF ages, to the
mushroom specifics, Matched beneath the

proclaimed by his ministers. to the idle

A REMARKABLE FEAT-Some time since,
the point of the lightning rod on the stee-
pie of the First Congregational Church in
New London, got unscrewed, and fell to
the ground. twas sucha dangerous piece
of work to replace it; that the committee
were unwilling to employ any one to per-
form the task. A Mr.. DeWolf, however,
volunteered to make theattempt, which the
committee permitted after some hesitation,
having promised him handsome sum il
he succeeded. He DID succeed, accom-
plishing the task without any apparent con-
seriousness of having done anything extra
ordinary. The New London Chronicle
says the point to which he assembled is very
near two hundred feet and for the las
fifty feet he had to climb up stone sur
face, with nothing to hold to but a small
iron rod, and when he reached the ball h
was still some dozen feet from the end
his Journey. This distance y had to shil
up single rod, labor which fe found S
tatigueing that he became exhausted, ant
was obliged to return and seat himself o.
the ball and recover breath. This he 500
did, and fearlessly resumed his travels to
wards the clouds, where he aceomplishe
his object, and came down, as we have al
ready stated.

A LErrER-wnrER from San Francisco
says in that city mercantile pursuits are
oyerdone. We have too large number OF
merchants and traders for our population.
Mechanical and mining pursuits have been
SO large and productive that, with the ex
cessive importations, prices have ruled far
below the cost of raising. Besides, our
stocks are yet excessive, and perishing; and
clippers are continually arriving with full
cargoes. By the last Steamer, one German
gentleman brought up two hundred thou:
sand pounds sterling for investment, and
othcrs received large sums in the shape o.
credit from foreign countries"

SAeAc1TY OF RATs.-We have read and
heard of the sagacity of rats, but don't re-
member anything more extraordinary than
the following:
"The workmen at Bugsworth have a
horn, in which they keep oil for the axles OF
their wagons, which they kept on the
ground in an upright position. To their
surprise, they have several times recently
found the horn filed to the 6rlm with
small stones, and nearly all the oil gone,.-
This circumstance puzzeled them; and in
order to discover how the oil had gone, they
placed the horn in its old position, and cov-
cred the ground about it with soft clay
The next morning they found, as before
that the horn had been filed with stones
the oil was gone, and the clay was fillet
with impressions.evidently from the feet o
rats. ."-EngliSh paper.

Rev. HENRY WARD BEEcnER.-This
gentleman having been suggested as a
candidate for Congress, thus declines the
honor:
1t may not be modest for us to decline
before we are really asked. But such ct,
forts will certainly be loves labor lost. Ii
the people wish us to be President Of these
United States, we should be disposed to ac-
cept that. And we fancy that there will
be new themes in Washington city after our
inaugural shall have been pronounced.
Had the proposal to go to Congress pro-
ceeded from the American Board OF Mis-
sions, there would have been grave reas
ons for considering it. We doubt wheth
er they have harder field in all Heather
dom-nor yet a field where the Gospel il
more needed But, for mere political reas
ons, to backslide from the pulpit into Con
! gress, is a little too long stride for tn
first venture. We beg ieiive To- decline
advance.

;. In Is estimated that,some fifty thousand
sailors have been Withdrawn from COM

CHARLESTON, July 25.-The following
has been received by the steamer Isabel.
A decree had been issued at Havana,
authorizing division of the military dis
tricts, for the better defense and protection
of the Island, in event Of an invasion.
The rumors received from the United
States in relationtc the sale of the Island
by Spain were generally ridiculed, and tho
impressions prevailed among the better
class, that the mother country would make
no concession, whatever, to the United
States.
The Isabel reports, that the ravages Of
the vomito, were fearful. Of 72 passen-
gers, who arrived out in the Spanish Mail

were alive.
