LOUISVILLE, August 81,

The Democrats have large and enthusi.
astic mass meeting at indianapolis. Resolu-
tons strongly denouncing secret political So
ceties, and still more strongly denouncing
the AboIitonists, were passed.
SYRACUSE, N. Y, August 30-Soft shell
convention. The committee on resolutions
made a report. The first relates TO State
matters, the others protesting against Know
Nothingism, &C., all adopted except one en-
dorsing the Administration, which one was
rejected. The committee was equally divid-
ed on the Kansas question, both parties pre-
scented resolutions. John Van Buren, made
motion to table all resolutions relating to
Kansas, the Administration and Slavery. He
made speech in support of the motion
during which the convention adjourned till
afternoon.

10" Mr.. Benton concludes one of the
Chapters of the forthcoming second volume
of his Thirty Years view, with the following
paragraph in regard 10 the sectional discon-
tent with the Union:
"Scparation is no remedy for these evils,
[or which both sections complain but The
parent Of fur greater than just discomfort or
restless ambition would fly from. 70 the
South the Union is political blessing: to
the North il is both political and pccuniary
blessing; to both il should be social bless
ing. Both sections should cherish it, and
the North most. The story Of the boy that
killed the goose that laid Che golden egg every
day that he might gel all the eggs at once
was n fable; bnt The Northern man who could
promote separation by any course of wrong
10 the South would convert that fable into
history-hs own history-and commit fol-
Iy. in n mere profit and loss point Of view, of
which there is no precedent exc ept in fable"

AN Oh MANS FonY.-General Cass has
published letter, donouncing the American
movement. We are not surprised, since bis
frequent changes of opinion in the Senate
left the inference that he labored in public
life beyond his time. He first gave the friends
of civil and religious liberty hope that he
sympathized with them ut least; but his
praises had scarcely died on their lips, ere he
stopped forth as the champion and defender
of ltalys butcher, Bedini. This inconsistency
in an old man can readily be explained; but
is it not doing him injustice when our oppo.
nents exult over iti Had nature permitted
him to retain the strength and mind adequate
to the responsibilities involved by these sud
den changes of opinion, we should not shrink,
in comparison, from just criticism of his
erratic course. At this time, we can only ad-
mire Lewis Cass for what he tUas-while we
pity him for what he is. 1t would be inn
pious to doubt or question the wisdom of ma
lures laws, which are as unerring in the
autumn as the spring-time of life.-Banner
and Defender.

Though but boy at the time, he was en-
gagged in the several battles which occurred
near the cities of Baltimore and Washington,

dignity and urbanity of manner, and of incor-

u Fusion at the North does not flourish
according to its early promise. Gov. Hunts
letter was the first check to the consprators.
Mr.. Dexter, and Mr.. Winthrop of Boston
old Whigs-have taken the same position
with Gov. Hunt-and are creating confusion
among the Fusionists.
Respecting the effect of Hunts letter, the
New York Express says:
"Fusion, alias Repnbicanism, alias Seward
ism, tha: is, the sacrifice of the old Wing
Party to the new Lights and Isms, rubs hard
not only here, but in the interior. The old
Wings, generally, won't go in-and rs Gov.
Hunt, il is seen, hut embodied a general
opinion the embodiment has become alarm
ing to the Fusion Leaders-and they now
know not what to do.
"Fusion, however, must take place. Il is
the law of necessity. Tho Sewardites have
no where else to go but into the bosom of
the Abolitionists. That is their proper place,
and by the law of gravitaton, they fall there
and there let them fail.
"rhe Letter of Gov. Hunt is now so re-
sponded to by the Wings in all parts of the
State-that much doubt is arising whether
The Lenders Of the Wing machinery will dare
to carry out hat they concorted at the Astor
House, when they summon their Convention"

swEABoRe.--The last foreign news is to
the effect that the allied fleets had bombarded
and burnt Sweaborg, position which COM
mnnds the entrance to the bay of Helsingfors,
and Immediately opposite Revel on the north
side of the Gulf of Finland, and about fifty
miles distant Sweaoorg has been called the
Gibraltar of the North. 1t is an immense
fortress, resting upon seven islands, which
are connected by pontoons, mounting 800
guns and garrisoned by $4,000 men in time
of peace. The importance of this place is,
perhaps, greater than that of Revel, rs its fall
will be the prelude to that of Helsingfors,
which contains one Of the largest naval ar
senals in the world, and is the great recruiting
station of the Russian navy.

popular among the squatter sovereigns of the
Kansas Legislature. A correspondent of the
Missouri Republican, writing from the "Mis.
sion" on the 18th, says:
"This afternoon, a sharp debate sprung mp
about naming county Pierce, in which the
President got fits; some thought it disgrace:
others, that it was springing old party issues
upon the pro-slaverv party; but finally, it was
named Wise, in honor of the Governor elect
of Virginia"
