Democracy Never Dies.

In reference to the present cheering aspect
of political affairs, the Albany Argus makes
the following remarks:-
Now AND THEs.-A year ago the fortunes
of the democratic party seemed to be on the
decline. States which had long been consid-
cred towers of strength iavinciblc strongholds
of democracy, and which had at all times no.
bly, and successfully yindicated the democratic
party against the assaults of its enemies
turned against the democracy defeat followed
defeat; every northern state pronounced ag-
ainst us, aud the democratic party succeeded
only in electing few members of congress
of the household of faith"
Then it was that the enemies of the demo-
cratic party-those who had increasingly de-
nounced its men, measures and principles
lelled in the annals of political warfare-as-
serted that the democratic party had passed
its meridian that it no longer commanded
the confidence of the people that its princi-
pies would never again be in the ascendent.
lin short, it was DYING. But time brings
changes to parties as well as men. A twelve
month has passed, and those who were eager
to pronounce the death of the democratic par
ty, are themselves in need an epitaph.--
Thought by its enemies to be dead, the dem
ocratic party has sprung into new life; from
being yanquished, it has again become victor.
and is moro firmly than enthroned in the
hearts of the American people. The passing
storm bas spent its fury, and has left the denl-
ocratic party invincible and better than ever
prepared to resist the assaults of its. enemies
PRAcT1cAL FREE Love IN CoNSEcTIcUr. =
Salmon D. Case of Hartford, Conn, the
8 friend" of Mrs. Lucy Wolcott. though not
particularly so of her husband, Oliver. has
been sentenced to three years in the State
prison, for too close intimacy with the fair

one in which a mutual bargain and barter

the possession of the woman, the husband wal
wing his claim upon her, in consideration Of
certain sum paid; the three. however, con-

E6-The following account of the exploits

heretofore recorded Of the devotion of this no.

.. \ great sensation has been caused in the
camp of the allies by the heroic deeds of dog
belonging to Col Metmann. of the 73d regi-
mcnt Of the line. On the 10th of August,
during the battle of the Tchernsya, the quad
ruped broke his chain, fought in the ranks. of
the army, saved the life of a sergeant and a
soldier and took three Russian prisoners. A
ball struck his foot, but the wound only embit-
tered the animal the more. He threw himself
upon Russian officer, flung him to the
grouud. and dragged him a prisoner by the
coat collar to the French. A physician has
bound up the wound. and the four footed hero
is convalescing. He will probably receive
some mark of honor, as another dog in the
English army has been rewarded with medal
for his devotion to his master"

The FIrsT Discovery OF GOLD IN CAL1FoR-
NIA.-On the authority of communication
addressed TO the Stockton Argus, it Was stated
in this paper, on the Gath inst, that Marshall
the first discovery of gold in California, is
hopelessly insane calamity brought upon
him by inebriation.' The associate editor OF
the Pacific also wrote to bis paper information
OF similar character. We have received q
letter form Mr. NJ. Vim, citiun Of Iowa
Hill, containing q counter statement, and witt,
it request that we give the same pablicity
The writer says that air. Marshall is now a
resident OF lowe Hill, where he has been living
for the last eight or nine months during most
of which time he has been engaged in mining
He Is represented as quiet, pcnceabe and in
dustrous man, and the idea of his insanity is
absurd, uot to say false. The writer AYERS that
during an acquaintance Of seven months, he
has never seen nor heard OF his drinking a
glass Of spurious liquor, and all who know
him car testify to his sanity.
Mr.. Marshall was one of the Bear Flat Par
ty." He selected the location for and supcrin.
tended the work, and also, owned one-half Of
the celebrated Suffers Mill, He was all ac-
tual settler in 1847 and cultivated the soil
where Cooma now stands before ever gold was
discovered Not only were Capt. Suffer and
Mr. Marshall partners iu the mill operation,
but it WAS understood between them that If
Mexico retained California, MIR. Marshall
would be entitled to one half Of Suffers rights
as a citizen and settler of Mexican terFitory.
On the otLer hand, should California be ceded
to the United States, then Capt. Sutter to re-
ceive one'half of the benefits derived by Mr.
Marshall as an American citizen and settler
Our correspondent maintains that q great
act of injustice has been done in depriving Mr..
Marshal the discovery of the richest gold mines
in the world, of his rights as settler on prop
erty OF which be had held possession since
l647, and inquiries if it would not be right aud
proper for Congress to make some provision
for his relief.-Union

Mr.. EDIroR:-In common with many
fellow miners, allow ono to complain Of a
want of accommodation which we have ex-
perienced at the Post Office. 1t often
happens that We bring letters to be sent
by mail, and on arriving at the Office in
this city find it closed There is no box
provided into which letters may be drop
ped, and therefore VIC are obliged to loaf
about few hours, or in some instances
stay all night, to await the opening of the
office Though miners, We are not de-
fcient of knowledge enough to know that
letters must be prepaid, and ours are al
ways enclosed in stamp envelopes. A
slight expense on the part of the Post Oi-
fee would furnish it with convenience
which would save much money and time
to an Industrious class Of the community
Boxes are provided to all, or nearly all
the large Offices below, and there can be
no reason why the same accommodation
should not be shown here 1t may be urged
that many letters would be dropped not
prepaid. The law requiring letters to he
prepaid has boen long enough in operation
to be we'll understood by every body, and
if some few are not aware of it, should q
large majority be put to great inconve-
nience for their ignorance' This griev-
ance has been topic of remark for sew
eral months, and it is somewhat singular
that the newspapers in this city, and
especially yours, has not come down upon
it However, if you will favor this with
