minisfratien.
From the Norfolk News :


THE BLusDsns OF THE ADMINISTRATION
We are democrats of the states right SCHOOL,
by the honest conviction Of our Judgments,
and not by hereditary perjudice or the dc.
tates Of selfish ambition. We exerted all
the energies aud talents, with which God has
gifted us to elevate 10 the Presidency the
4 present Chief Magistrate not Tor the hope OF
reward or the spoils Of Office. but because ne
professed our faith, and we considered him
nre. eminent!y sound and conservative upon
the reserved rights Of the States lie was no
sooner seated 10 the chair OF stste, than ne
was besiesed BY the pack Of wolish patriots.
who bad snuffed the flesh. pots 10 the tainted
gale.
The fetid doors Of corruption that arise from
/ the political sinks in Washington have for
some time kept at distance most gentleman
| of sensitive honor The houndisbness for Of
! fee. especially under this administration, has
diseustad and nauseated every high minded
gentleman aud patriot in the country Aud
the FIRST false step Of the Administration origin
ated and sprung from this source General
| Pierce attempted to hold the present colossal
| democratic party together, not SO much by
! firm reliance upon the principles of the party,
as by the cohesive power Of the public plan
der % The attempt has failed, as 1t ever must
and ever will, and ought to do. The party
that has to be held together by the leaves and
fishes the sooner it is dsbanded. the better.
10 scramble for Office, the political scoundrel
or bankrupt politician, ever overreaches the
modest patriot and high toned gentleman.
The Richmond Enquirer, spoke tie truth,
the other day. when it bcwailed 10 such dole
full and pathetic strains, the dissatisfaction,
that prevailed the masses Of the Democracy
in Virginia, in regard to the administration.
We repeat, It's true and fearfully true. Never
have we known in this section of the State,
such disaffection in the Democratic ranks
But unllke the Enquirer, we can account for
it and assign the cause; not that they do not
love their party with the ardor of frst love.
not that they do not approve the Presidents
inaugural, not that they do not still venerate
the principles of '9S and 80, enumerated in
his late message, but because the administrn.
ton have dared ia defiance of the sacred prin-
cples Of our party, to interfere in State cleo.
tions, to couutenance hireling press. to per-
secute Northern champions Of Southern.
Rights, to appoint to Office knaves instead of
patriots, short boys" instead of gentlemen,
and frcesoiers instead of National Democrats;
and because they dread some secret and mys-
terious coalition eugendering corruption in the
heart of the government and endangering the
principles of the Democratic party.
The Virginia Democracy, true to the teach.
ings Of the Golden school still stcluly demand
government of principle and not Of men.

THE FOREIGN NEWS,

II the allied fleets bave entered the Black
Sea, as reported, Russia will doubtless regard
II as equivalent to declaration of war on the
part OF England aud France, and we may look
for general European war. The declaration
OF war by Persia against Turkey adds to the
power and resources of Russia.
ltseems that both our Minister at the cour,
of Spain. and his son, SOule, sr., and Soule,
jr., have been lighting duels with the grandees.
The report, mo damage done,' we hope may
extend to other matters besides the life and
limbs of the beligerent parties We believe,
however, at this time of day, it is not usual
to hear of Ambassadors aud their attaches
lighting duels at the seats of government
where they may be residing.

CANDID ADMISSION.

We have never thought it possible that al
who voted for Pierce and King at the last
presidential election could be united into one
homogeneous party. The democratic party
went into the canvass of 1852 under many
advantages, which could not be considered
permanent, aud could not be relied on in ia
ture contests. Whilst, on the other hano'
the wings entered that canvass under extra
ordinary disadvantages, which little prudence
and sagacity may avoid hereafter. As a nat
ural consequence, the democratic ticket com.
manded vote which no amount OF political
management could posi- lily keep together aud
retain. Washington Sentinel.

REMITTIae moNEY BY arAIL.

A very important case has recently come
before the United States District Court. as
Richmond. Va, Chief Justice Taney presi-
ding, in which the question arose whether
money RENTED by mail from debtor to .
creditor. such money being lost before it
reaches its destination, was a release of the
debtor from obligations of the debt. The
Chief Justice decided that the plaintiff having
requested his debtor to remit the money, with
out specifying or directing bow it was to be
sent. and the defendent having complied with
the request by RENTING through the mail, as
was the custom with others to do. the debtor
would not be held obliged to make good the
loss. The decision is in conflict with other
cases involving the same principle the Chief
Justice holding that the former decisions we're
not correct.
