The Democracy of the House will take no
step backwards" That resolution embodies
their sentiments, and by those sentiments they
must and will stand
Democrats have the same right to express
their opinions and enunciate their principles
that any other party has, and it is idle to say
that the courteous exercise Of this right will
justify the resentment of any man or party
II is also idle to charge them with the respon
siblity Of the long-continued failure to organ
nize, because Of the expression in caucus or in
Congress of their honest opinions-opinions
which they have all along entertained and ex-
pressed.
The Democratic party, while it neither
makes bargains nor seeks alliances, is yet ever
ready to welcome all who are willing to co-ope-
rate with it,
The experience Of the last three weeks goes
to prove that the Freesoil forces are not sufi-
ciently strong to organize the House, and it is
fair TO unprecedented the conclusion is nev-
table--that the conservative elements scattered
through the House, if collected aud embodied
can effect an organization. The Democratic
party is the proper rallying point for these
elements, aud no light cause should be allow
ed to prevent their union. The Democrats
can maintain aud express their opinions, the
conservative knownothings can express and
maintain their opinions, yet as it is understood
that they both agree on the subject of slavery,
and as il is known that the conservative Know
nolhings are much smaller in number than the
Democrats, We must be allowed to say that the
the Democrats for the purpose of organizing
the House. They can maintain their organ-
zation afterwards, if they choose to do so.

the Administration, and have caused il regret
for its undeserved consideration.
In regard to Kansas, we differed as to the
advantage and propriety of Governor Reeder's
appointment The Administration were de-
ceived in regard to this man--its intent was
good Again, the Unioa to one of whose ed-
tors, and not the Executive, Governor Reeder
openly attributed his appointment and gave
his thanks, justified and endorsed every act Of
Governor Reeder while presiding over that
Territory. That course we sharply condemned,
and have yet 10 learn that the. Administration
approved it. Our structures on the Union
should not be construed into shafts aimed at
the Executive, but parties have chosen to
make them glance in that direction.
We have over and over again taken the Union
to task for its course on the Kansas question, as
calculated to bring opprobrium on the Demo
cratic party and a distrust of the Administers
ton. The propriety and justice of these stric-
tnres are now too apparent to the parties them
selves. We censured the Union for its perpetual
endorsement of unsound papers-but this was
proper, and We doubt not that the course of
the Sentinel, taken as whole, is more accep-
table to the Administration than that of the
Uaion
We have not hesitated to come forward and
to give early and earnest support to the Ad-
tardy. We have desired and sought opportu-
nifty to support the Administration, by advo-
eating its views and its measures whenever we
could do so consistently
Such being the course and position Of the
Sentinel, what good reason is there for tmn-
ing 1t outP Is there any complaint of falling
in its duty as Printer to the Senate. None
then why turn it out? Has it not steadfastly
advocated every Democratic measure, and
justified and defended Democratic principles ?
1t has. Then why seek to ostracise it? /
another be selected, will he do his duty better
than has the Sentinel? He cannot Then why
select another? what superior claim has he ?
If another be selected, will he not be obliged
to pledge himself to stand by the record of the
Sentinel on all measures on which it has spoken
He must be held to this test or to none; then
why select another to supplant the guardian OF
proud record2 Let fidelity to principle not
be the occasion to a Democratic body of doing
injustice.
We have been induced to make the forego
ing remarks in consequence Of the subject Of
Printer to the Senate having become subject
of general discussion among the press, and
because many false views are taken, and some
misconception exists, which we trust we have
sufficiently and clearly corrected.

Inc view IoTh fTtOuHc says.
"The character of tho consumers of this
beverage does not vary according to the lo
cality; for you will find as respectable class
in the pureus Of William street, as any other
part OF the Metropolis. They are, as a conse
quence, for the most part Germans, with
considerable -sprinkling of Frenchmen, Span
iards, Italians, and even Americans. A por-
ton of the evening is almost invariably devoted
by this class to the enjoyment Of lager and the
social chat Of the saloon. Enter any one of
these places at any hour between o'clock and
midnight and you will find it. occupied by
groups of our most intelligent foreign born
citizens discussing perhaps, some recent trans.
action OF local importance, or the policy and
prospects of the various European nations.
You need not fear being shocked by any
drunken brawl or disgusting outburst of in
temperance--sobriety is a Distinguishing trait
of these people, who in this manner but per.
petuate the customs Of their fatherland. And
instead of the gross conversation, and the
wholesale blasphemy which characteristics even
the most respectable of our American bar
rooms, you will hear only the voice Of merri.
ment, joyous laugh, and music oftentimes Of
superior quality. 1t is of course, understood
that exceptions can be found to every rule:
but the generality Of the lager beer houses of
our city will be found as respectable in the
conventional meaning Of the term, as the most
popular of our refreshment saloons.

When the dropping blue-bells fingered
On The messy grass-grown HILL
And the little snowy siar-fower
Bent above the flowing rill
When the lovely babe Of summer
Wooed the breezes wandering by,
Then our little angel Nellie
- Folded her solt wings to die.
Twilight had her curtains gathered
Pinned them gently with a star,
And the fragrant summer zephyrs
Floafed sweetly from afar;
Softly kissed the marble forehead
Ofour little gueless one,
Lightly waved the golden ringlsts
Tinted by the setting sun.
Then the snowy lid was lifted
From above the violet eye,
And a voice of music silv'ry
Whispered low, a sweet good bye.
fearful eyes were bending DER her.
Lent gloves gloriesn 10 her own,
Gentle voices sad and mournful
Answered low her trembling tone
But the idol fair was shattered.
Sweetly had the spirit fed,
Pinned were her bright wings for Heaven
And the blue-eyed one was dead
Then with ethe shining rnglefs
Twined they from her marble brow,
Clssped the~dimpled hands snd whispered
4 "Ncllie is an angel now.r
Pressed the last kiss on her forehead
Round her wrapped the robe Of white,
Rosebuds twined amid her tresse.-
Sadly breathed the last good night.
Heaven retaineth now our treasure,
Earth The lovely casket keeps,
And the sunbeams love 10 linger
Where our little Nellie sleeps

Mr.. cox, Of Kentucky, resumed and concluded
the remarks, which he commenced yesterday, in
the further effort TO show that the national Ameri-

Mr.. COBB, of Georgia. rose and defended his
democratic friends from the charge that they are
responsible for the failure TO organize the House.
In the first place, they are a minority, and in
the next, the Know. nothings have themselves
erected barrier. by the adoption of their proscrp

Gratis and the American party is deep, wide and
impossible; and must be removed before a union
OF the two can be anticipated, with view TO or

Death Of "a Miser-S5O,OOO achinu for
Cfrc n ln,x

The well known miser, John Herryman, a
citizen of this place, died very suddenly on
Friday night of last week. The deceased was
q German, who by some means had amassed a
handsome fortune, which we have heard vari-
ously estimated at from twenty-five to fifty
thousand dollars, but unfortunately for the
public as well as himself, he belonged to the
lowest grades Of misers. liz fact, the most
avaricious and loathsone character Of that
class ever painted by the master hand OF Dick
ems, to use a cant phrase, "was not patching
TO him"
Of his history, place of nativity, or friends,
nothing is known, and any allusion to these
matters, even by his most intimate friends,
always exasperated him.
He leaves, so far as at present is known, no
one to inherit bis estate, which will in all pro-
liability escheat TO the State No will has vet
been discovered, and it is not likely he left

ny. The manner of life and psrsimonious

any The manner of life and parsimonious
habits of the deceased are almost incredible.
For the last sixteen years he has constantly
worn the same blue, linseywolsey wamus and
pantaloons, carefully run or darned all over
with strong thread, SO as to prevent the possi-
bility OF wearing out, except on some impor-
tant occasions, such as land sales or something
of that nature, when they gave way to a suit OF
black velvet that he often boosted had served
him faithfully for forty years He contracted
the disease of which he died by walking over
the bad roads during the most Indictment weather
of the season, all the way to Putnam and
Henry counties, to pay his taxes on the land
he owned there, without sufficient clothing 10
protect him from the cold. In fact, we are in
formed that he scarcely ever wore a shirt or
under garment, and that the one he had on
when he died had not been changed for over
three months. f
1t is related of him, but short time since,
notwithstanding the pile of gold and silver he
had boarded away, he actually carried an old
horse shoe he had picked up some place, about
the shops, and succeeded in selling it for half
dime. - sr

according to the Washington Globe, in com
parison with the Office of Speaker of our House

generally rewarded with peerage and pen
