A BIT OF ROMANCE. Some years
ago, says the st. Louis Intelligencer,
a very beautiful young lady was the
ward Of a person in Louisiana, who
defrauded her out of large fortune.
The lady came to this city, where
she married, but not living on good
terms with her husband, finally OBJ
tanned a divorce from him and retired
to convent. Whilst she was there
she received letter from the son Of
her former guardian, informing her Of
bis fathers death, and that himself
had heired all bis vast property, but
that he could not consent to retain
that which had been treacherously
taken from another, and offering to-
make restitution. The lady imme.
diatelyS proceeded to Louisiana, had
an interview with the heir, and re-
ceived back, both principal and inte-
rest, all that she had been wronged
put Of The strangest part of the
story remains behind. No sooner had
she got possession 7of her fortune,
than she returnedto this city, sought
put her former husband, and in a few
lays was remarriedto him. Verify
The love of woman surpasseth under.

The Springfield Republican says
the action of the frost upon the
earth on Tuesday night, maintained
a constant succession oflexplosions,
similar to those which occur in the
Arctic regions, varying in character
and intensity from a light pistol shot
to light earthquake. Fissures in
the earth were seen in various pla-
ces, and by one of these operations
the wall of the q. S. Armory was
cracked from the roof to- the ground.

The only National Party.


The election Of Henry Wilson, the
Know-Nothing Abolitiopist, and Of
Seward, the Freesoil demagogue, to
the high positions of Senators in
Congress, are incidents worthy the
grave apprehensions Of patriotic
minds in all sections. 1t is certain
the influence Of their positions will
be used for the worst purposes. 1t is
also certain that their malign Efforts
can meet a check and counteraction
through but one party organization.
There is but one national party IN
existence to oppose them-that is
the Democratic party. >1s
The comments Of the New York
Day-Book on this subject are just
and to the point. We invite the at
tention Of Southern men to the
apprehensious which the march Of
Abolitionism and religious bigotry
are creating in patriotic minds of alb
sections:
"The election Of Wilson, by the
Know-Nothings, and the election of
Seward, because Of them, show dis
tinctly to, the lovers of the Union,
that there is no reliance to be placed
on any new party or new faction that
is likely to arise ON side issue. The
democratic party is the only national
party in the Union. Its principles
are so comprehensive, and its plat
form so broad, that all can come un-
der the folds CT its banner Like
the Christian religion, it is for all
men. 1t knows neither Jew nor
Gentle, Greek nor Roman, but offers
its benefits and protection to I'LL
alike.
"A democratic government is the
best in the world, and if the people
everywhere wish to be protected in
their rights, their religion, their prop
erty, their pursuits, and their prin-
ciples, they should unite in the sup
:. port of such government. In it,
and it alone, they will find protec-
ton and safety from sectionaIism.
prejudice, bigotry and tyranny. Let
US be wise in time, and cling to that
which has been our ark of safety un-
der all circumstances and in all tri-
ais" Hia l,@t e -
The Wing party of the North has
been almost totally swallowed up
and absorbed by the Freesoil and
Abolition parties. What little was
left of it has been more recently
i swallowed up as completely by the
: Know-Nothings.
The latter seem in q fair way now,
like Aaron's rod, to swallow up all
the others, and TO become con-
+ glomerate mass Of anti-slayery ia
naticism. religious intolerance. and
Inarrow-minded nativeism! All the
conservative elements of Northern
Whiggery, il there be any left, must
merge into the Democratic party.
i What sympathy: then, can South
ern men have with any other organi-
cation than the Democratic party?-
There is no other national party
Nor can theSoutb, or the Wings of the
South, create one. But two alterna-
tiycs are open to Southern men--a
Southern Sectional Party, or the
! National Democratic Party.

AID AND COMFORT FROM SOUTHERN
SLAVES. few weeks ago We noti-
ced the fact that several slaves in
Mobile had made liberal donations in
aid of the sufferingpoor at the North.
The following from the New York
Journal of Commerce speaks for it
self: ~ a Il
"Weyesterday received twcnty dol
lars end fifty cents from Columbus,
Mississippi, accompanied by the fol-
lowing communication and list Of do
nations. In several points Of view
this is very interesting affair. 1t
shows becoming sympathy between
colored men North and South. 1t
shows that southern slaves have mon
ey to spare, when free colored men,
and free white men, too, are in dis
tress for the necessaries oflife. This
is one Of the alternating features Of
slavery which should be taken for
what it is worth. We know of no
better way to dispose Of the money
so as to meet the wishes of the do
nors, than to place it in the hands
Of Rev. Charles B. Bay, missionary
at large to the colored people of this
city, with instructions to dispose Of
it according to his best Judgment,
for the relief of such of them rs are
suffering. We shall dispose of it ac-
cordingIy." go s3'a ae '
The communication referred to
covers the list of the slave donors,
some fifty in number.
