ton of which presents an admirable sum.
mary OF political truth. II is as follows:
"Reso1ved, That We believe the great
Democratic party Of this country is fully
competent to correct whatever mischiefs
may require correction. within its own or.
ganization. No new party is needed for
any such purpose. II the naturalization
laws shall be found defective, We believe
the Democratic party. as now organised.
will correct them. doing full justice to all
parties interested, both natives and for
eisners; and while we are in favor OF every
mans doing what he may believe to be
right, and impuie improper motives to
none, we would respectfully ask those
Democrats who are becoming distrustful
of their party, to ponder seriously before
they leap, by Fastening to join an organ

as il is termed. ls there not danger that
they will put in power class of federal
politicians, entertaining principles with
which they have been at war all their lives?
There is not the shadow OF doubt but wh at

and no extension OF territory politicians
will rule the secret order Of Know Moth.
ings, Americans, or whatever name they
give it; therefore to join it, to put out one
spark Of FIRE, there is danger of becoming
enveloped in the flames of Federalism.
All other parties are antagonistieal to the
Democratic party, and party that has
succeeded in bringing forth prosperity
unparalleled in the history of nations,
should not be abandoned for light and
transient reasons"

Lard.

The Cincinnati Price Current has some
interesting statistics an the lard produce
of this country.
The number of hogs killed the last sea-
son and packed for commerce is three mil
lions; the average amount OF lard. per hog.
is lhirty.,wo pounds. The total amount
of lard in commerce is estimated At nine.
ty.six millions of pounds, OF this amount,
twenty millions are shipped from Cincin-
natl, England and Cuba take more lard
of US than all the rest OF the world. Each
ofthess countries buys over eight millions
Of pounds. annually. In the Wes, Indies,
lard is very generally used az substitute
for butter.
Lard oil is made more extensively al
Cincinnati than at any other point in the
Union. Thirty thousand barrels Of It are,
annually. sent from that city. The de-
mand for lard, over the world, is on the
increase. and prices will probably be sus-
tanned.

Col. KiRney's Central American
Expedition.

The expedition OF Col. Kinney, ossensl'
bly, designed for settling the lands and
working the mines OF Central America
became, by the mystery Of some OF his
suspected by the U. S. Gov
ernment OF being political adventure. A
dispatch dated Washington Feb.
7th states the following:
The Secretary of State has replied 10
Col. kinney's communication ofthe 28th,
stating the purposes and objects OF his Cen
trail American enterprise, and asking ii the
Government proposes to arrest his expe-
di,ion by public proclamation.
MIR. Marcy says: "lt the enterprise ol
which you speak in your letter to ma oI
the 28th ult. is a mere peaceful emigra-
tion; ifyou and those who propose to 60
With you prefer to leave the United States
and seek permanent home in the foreign
country; 10 ronounce your citizenship here
and the rights and privileges belonging to
it, and submit yourselves TO the laws OF an
other jurisdiction, is neither the duty MOI
the desire of this Government 10 interfere
with your proceedings. BY such course
YOU cease to the citizens OF the United
States, and can have, alter such change
Of allegiance, no claims 10 projections, as
such citizens, from ;his Government"
The Secretary, however. denies the Mos
quito Indians have any sovereign or polit'
ic al authority in Central America, and
concludes ii the emigranis be formed with
companies. commanded by officers and
furnished with arus, such organization
would assume the character OF a military
expedition, and being hardly consistent
with its professions of peaceful object
il would devolve upon this Government
the duty ofinqu!Ting whether it be not in

longer existed as q force. The deaths
amounted TO sixty a day. and the number

Know-Nothinsism and Slavery.

The rank and hle OF the Anti-SlHvery
party, are at last getting their eyes opened
to the fact that they were duped by their
late fusion with Know-Nc,hngs. Some
OF the more observing Of them, such as
Greedy, Bailey and others. were too sharp

fully deceived; but it should be set down
to their credit, that after discovering their
error, many OF them are honest enough
to abandon the order. The election of
Wilson 10 the U. S. Senate by the Mas
sachusetts Legislature, although carried
by Nothing votes. is looked upon
by the National members ns being little
less than sedition, and ominous Of an
early downfall.
To show with what consistency men
can be Know.N Nothings, and at the same
time opposed to slavery, we append on
extract from the National Era, the ac-
knowledged national organ Of the Anti
Slavery party, and one from the American
Organ the national organ Of the Know
No.hings:

The CosT OF THE WAR.-Ths leading
English journals camplain bitterly OF the
cost of the war. The London Times gives
the fetal expense for twelve months at eigh-
ty millions of dollars. For the present
year the expenditures will be still greater,
unless peace shall be declared. The cal.
culation is that at least one hundred mil.
lions will be necessary. and, with the bes,
view Of the subject. 9, least fifty millions
Of dollars must be raised annually. as long
as the war may last, either by an appeal
to the money market or by doubling the
rates upon taxpayers.
