I cipied. experienced. and ssgacious old party dem
agogues and tricksters, at the head Of powerful
and well trained factions. accustomed only to be
led. and to obey the dictates Of their leaders. 1t
has borne up nobly and patiently under a torrent
of i~nvec,ive and abuse unparalleled in the his
tory of parties in this country; but while its OPP
ponents are banded together only by mercenary
ties, fighting only for plumber and have no princi-
pie to give integrity to their association, the A.
merican party is silently. rapidly gaining strength
with the people, with those who are actuated by
principle. men who love their country and are de-
termined to preserve its institutions. 1t has with
in itself all The elements of ultimate success.
The partial defeats il has sustained or may yet
undergo. arc to it like the early contests of the
heroes of the Revolution. The hearts of its mem
bers are but fired by such defeats with more
glowing enthusiasm for their cause, and their
arms are nerved for the achievement OF future
victories. Like the brave patriots who commen'
ced tho revolution at Lexington and Concord, Mt
Bennington and at Bunker's Hill, the Americans
of Virginia and Alabama. of Tennessee and Geor-
gia are victorious although defeated.-The pa
t%riotism that excited them to action is spreading
far and wide among their conn,rymen, and a host
of true men. of Independent native-born freemen,
in the States of the South and Of the North. are
advancing to tho rescue of American principles.
American nationality, the restoration of pure
American republicanism, and the Constitution.
They are struggling for principles which are dear
10 every American heart, while their opponents
arc actuated only by the thirst for power and hope
of office. This struggle will continue until the
mercenary factions of tho Anti American party
are scattered ana overwhelmed, and the vitality
and nationality of American principles are tri-
umphantly yindicated and established by com
pletn success.

SUICIDE OF A DoG.-The following, from the
Boston Chronicle. will no doubt tax the credulity
of some of eur readers Ia n very serious extent:
The sometimes astonishing degree of intel
ligence aud >ngacity evinced by the canine race
has been te-tIhed to by repeated Instances, in
which the animal IN his nature seemed to rise in
to the human. and show him almost TO he pos

following well-authenticat Il story. we never,
however, heard of "a dog committing suicide. Ia

the Calcutta Citizen. speaking of the reception
of The English embassy by the Burmese King,
says: The only thing remarkable at the inter
view was an inanimate object, and that was a
ruby in the centre of the pagoda crown of his
Majesty. 1t was as large, if not larger. than n
hens egg, and far more valuable than the great
kohinoor, it was beautifully cut, and almost a.
round as a marble. 1t was torn out of the ear of
the Karen Queen by Alompra. 1t was a pendant
being suspended by "A wire casing through her
right ear. 1t il of the purest water, and more
than 2000 years old, if the traditions concerning
it are believed. 1t came originally from Assam.
and belonged to the Garrow King; Moung Sa.
who ruled the whole of Chin lndir. This ruby
will, | prophecy, in ten years b" worn by our
Queen"

A GRECIAN QuEEN,-A letter from Athens in
the Journal Of Commerce gives this description
cf a tlat-iooied Queen:
II saw Queen Amelia taking an afternoon ride

seemed in excellent humor, and | am told is CON

RAILWAY TELEGRAPHS.-We believe there il
only one railroad in the country which hahi,ual
ly and constantly employs the telegraph, and
that Is the New York aud Erie. which Mt its own
expense has erected wires along it, entire length.
The expense of putting up this. telegraph was
some S5e,oJo. and the cost of operating it is
ahont $30,000 a year: the value of the services
rendered by it is more than 500. 0o0a year. Bv
its means each division superintendent maintains
q constant control over all the trains in his diyi-
sion, and it frequently happens that every train

DEATH AND VANlTY.-The st. Louis Herald
of Wednesday says:--"Soine of our fashionable
ladies'. owing to an excess of vanity. in order to
give tone and permanency to their complexion.
or, as they say, TO improve their complexion
are in the habit of taking arsenic in small doses
Within the past week two ladies' of this city.
members of wealthy families and ladies of fashion
have died very su ldenly. Their nearest friends
and relatives say that they were arsenic eaters
but in order to guard against scandal, the zeal
cause Of their death has not been made public
However, these same persons do not hesitate to
say privately that an over dose of arsenic was
the real cause of their death. Out of respect for
the living relations. we forbear mentioning the
names of the ladies', and only allude to the cir
cumstance for the purpose of warning others Of
the great danger and risk they run in continuing
such a dangerous and baneful practice. Vanity
must, indeed be an almost uncomfortable passion
with persons who, to crafty it. will hazard their
very existence. There is no doubt of the fact
that this practice is general among our fashion
able butterflies. at least, to such an extent us to
become alarming"
