The Government, IN order to ell up the blanks
which are every day more and more felt in the
list OF officers in the iray. has just issued ukase
granting to the Greco Russian, Armenian and In
theran priests great facilities for advancing to the
rank of officers if they enroll themselves as vc!
un;eers All articles from abroad have consider
ably advanced in price, owing TO the dearness of
land carriage. More than 10000 horses are con
sfantly occupied in the transport Of merchandise
from the frontiers to St Peiersburgh and the neigh
boring towns. The Government itself is oblise!
to pay very dear for the conveyance OF things of
which il stands need; and this charge begins to
get very onerous In the interior of the empire
misery everywhere prevails. The production OF
raw materials has almost entirely ceased, particu-
larry in Finland, which causes great distress to
he poorer classes. AT ST Petersburgh they are
beginning to make collections, give concerts &c
in favor OF those who have been ruined by the

per and pledged 70 the support OF the principles
OF that party, but great changes have taken place
within the last year. A national democratic al
minstration has lent the whole power of the gov
eminent to effect The naturalization of slavery
and now calls upon It's former supporters to en-
dorse tne act. Thomas Jefferson has always been
ranked as the head and founder OF the democratic
party. he was the author Of the famous prohib.
TORY clause IN the Ordinance of 1857 He never
was in favor OF Matchmaking slavery This
slavery question has been the only prominent is
sue before the present Congress, involving any of
the ieiiersouian creed The Jefiersoniau doctrine
has been baseIy abandoned by the national dem
ocratc party. We adhere to the ancient faith
We could not follow the party and aid in dvest-

local character. and IN dismfying it as a national
institution. Hence, at the end of the first wear
of our paper, we iud ourselves separated from tie
organization with which we were identified III
