had race with the Ca fornia and had beaten her, with
out stating that the St. Bridget first class boat about
feet longer and carrying nearly three times the sail the
California does which is only second class boat and
with the St. Bridget any other boat. Some
time afterwards notice appeared in the Pioneer from the
same source, presume, claiming victory the Dol
phn, and again referring the IL fornas being beaten
At that time had interest in either boat but now own

order to test the speed Of both boas encourage

WHERE ARE THE DEMocRAcY?-The following
resolution introduced into the State Democratic
Convention Of Pennsylvania, on the 4th Instant as
sembled at Harrisburg, and was rejected by vote
Of 46 yeas to 60 nays:
Resolued That every new State ought to be ad-
mitted into the Union with such Constitution as
majority Of the citizens thereof shall adopt pro-
vided there is nothing therein conflicting with the
Constitution Of the United States; and whether
such State shall have adopted rejected slavery is
not matter Of inquiry by the General Govern
ment. The adoption of any measure which would
defeat this is direct encroachment upon the popu-
lar sovereignty Of such State. That under these
views, which We believe to be correct, the bill en-
acting Kansas and Nebraska Territories leaving
the question Of slavery with the people, was not
only constitutional, but expedent and proper; and
that we do hereby endorse and approve the same.

PoLYGAAY-A ScENE-Mr. Graham, in hi
Jordan and the Rhine" thus describes polygamy
as it exists in Damascus and gives scene illustra
ting the blessings connected with it,
The Moslems may legally have four wives; but
you are not to suppose that most, even many, Of
the Moslems have four wives; they are prevented
by poverty, by affection, and by the great law OF
nature, which created the human race, male and
female, at the beginning, and keeps the number Of
males and females nearly equal in all ages. In
Damascus very many have but one wife, and though
divorce may, and does multiply the facilities Of
having variety Of wives, yet am led to think
that two wives frequent, three or lour are very
rare, and that perhaps the majority are contented
with one at time. The last married wife is gen.
orally the favorite for the time being, and the
others must submit to her control. These different
wives if the husband can at all afford it, are kept
in different cities When this is not possible the
four wives and families dwelling in the same habita-
ton, make it not unfrequenty scene of noise and
confusion.
Enter the house. What is this? There is
strange confusion in this splendid mansion and it
seems as if the Oriental life as well our own has
its troubles. The whole scene reminds me OF. an
Irish row, and was originated in the following way
Four wives live in the same house, and they all
IASC AnlIhcSs Liz CuHuicH COHc tOnctleE Ill CUHl-
mon court, and, after playing awhile, they COM
mence fighting; then the mothers come and take
part Of their Children which adds not little to the
confusion. Shortly after the female slaves join in
the tumult, and with shouting and yelling augment
the vehemence of the broil. Then, lastly. few
eunuchs raise their sweet voices he eunuchs voice
is the sweetest in the world-the Pepe's choir, they
say, must be eunuchs) in the midst of the uproar,
and the picture of the fourwived Mohamedan's
happiness scomplete. Heenters, his gait is porty,
his look is hauty and commanding; his word should
prevail as law but no-he can make neither head
nor tail Of the matter; the diversity and vehemence
of their mutual clamors bewilder him, and he can
scene of contention and claps his hands for his at
tendant slave: "Jacob, bring me pipe, there is
no use in interference, let them fight it out among
themselves. God has created them from crooked
rib"

PLATFORM OF THE ARrEsIANs.-We copy from
the New Orleans Delta Of Sunday, the platform o
the new party, which will poll large vote il
November next. Here it is:
Whereas, A crisis has arrived in our country's
history that renders it incumbent on every patriot
to make public definition Of his position;
And, whereas, By persons, whom the partialit,
Of their feow-ctizens has placed in an elevated
position as fit recipients for their sufages this duty
is neither to be omitted nor evaded;
Therefore, be it resolved, That we publish this
our platform of principles, to the world.
We are ARTISANS! not that water per Sc has
any attractions for us; but because we like to
fathom the depths Of all fittings, whethera gin jup,
a cocktail, or brandy straight. Because expe.
rence has taught us to know that he is great fool
who would not promptly treat, rather than have
one of US hold to his button-hole for half hour
more or less-a punishment which instinct tells
him he would have to undergo. Because, nu.
merically, we think we are the strongest party in
the country; for who among US may not be classed
among the Artesians?
Are not the professional politicians Artesians,
alias bores? Are not the doctors, regular and
homeopathic bores? Are not young gentlemen
who cultivate moustaches, and old gentlemen who
are prone to repeat their own photographs, bores?
Are not newspaper editors-of the one.idea order
-bores? Are not pettifoggers bores? Are not
stump speakers bores? In q word, are not the
majority Of mankind bores? and, therefore, of our
party.
Entering the contest then, as the exponent Of
to triumph, and in our triumph does not artesianism
become fixed fact-a permanent institution?
