at will be seen, the Democratic party and the
Democratic press will have to contend against Black
Repubcanism. Fillmore is crowded out of the ring.
We have not necessity or time to waste words upon

foes, and secured victory upon victory for their ban
Let them sink their personal feelings in devo-

eye to the public ood"-State Journal.

words upon the extinct party Who else save the
exponent and organ Of the magnanimous Democracy

being held in every city, town and hamlet, at which

tell that "Fillmore is crowded out of the ring ~

ATTEMPTED HIGHWAY ROBBERY-lhe following
account of an attack upon one of the Marysvle
stages, take from the Marysvle Herald of Wednes-
day:
Marysve, Aug u.
This afternoon, about Az o'clock, as the Camp
tenville stage was coming to Marysville, and when
near Dry Creek, it was stopped by six mounted
highwaymen, who after the treasure, amounting
no ene hundred thousand dollars. Near the point of
attack the road forked, and MIR. Rdeout gold dust
dealer of Camptonvile, was on one road, and the
stage the other. Rideout stopped by the rob-
bers, who all presented their arms and commanded
him to dismount. r. hesitated, when some of them
threatened to shoot him. On the threat being made
he dismounted, and went towards the stage in the
other road across a ravne. The robbers called him
back and demanded his money. Being satisfied that
he had none, his treasure being on the stage, they
took his horse and allowed him to cross over to the
stage. They then commanded the driver of the
stage, John Gear to STOP and threatened to kill the
first man who should oppose them in their designs
Mr.. Dobson, messenger, Immediately drew on them
and commenced firing His first fire took effect or
the spokesman of the robbers, and unhorsed him.
Rldeout had now got to the stage, and indis
criminate firing commenced between the robbers and
passengers. As many forty shots were fired on
both sides. The robbers finding themselves so stout
y opposed, retreated leaving the passengers masters
of the field The driver John Gear, was shot thro
the right arm above the elbow Mrs. Tighman wife
of barber in this city, shot in the head the ball
entering over the right eye and penetrating the BRAIN
John Campbell, another passenger, received glance
shot over the eye. Another passenger was shot in
both legs.
The stage is ridded with bullet holes. When the
stage was stopped, and the firing had commenced
one white man and four Cinnamon. passengers, left
and ran back the road which had been Just passed
over. They have not since been seen.
After the stage was about starting, and after the
first party had retired, Mexican, mounted, COM
menced firing from the opposite direction. Dobson
returned his fire and unhorsed him.
Two other men were seen concealed in the thicket

the same gang, it is supposed. Only two of the par
ty were disguised All were Americans, save the
one Mexican just spoken Of We get the particulars
from Gear and Rdeout and they may be relied on
as authentic.

THE PRESIDENTIAL QUESTION.

1t is currently reported and believed, that
q union ticket by the Fillmore and Fremont
parties, will be formed Immediately after the
State Election. The manner in which this is
to be accomplished, is, by adopting one of
the tickets of electors already in the field,
with no other alteration excepting that one
of the two Senatorial electors shall be for
Fillmore, and the other for Fremont. If n
majority Of the votes cast, contain the name
of the Fillmore Senatorial elector. then the
whole electoral vote Of Pennsylvania is to
be cast for Mr.. Fillmore, otherwise for Mr.
Fremont.
There is another rumor aHoat, that the
South is making efforts to get Mr.. Buchanan
to decline in favor Of Mr.. Fillmore, who is to
run for the Presidency on the same ticket in
connection with Mr.. Breckinridge, the demo-
cratic nominee for Vice President, and that
Mr.. Breckenridge had visited Mr.. Buchanan
for that purpose. We have no faith in any
such report, although there is no question but
the South feels very uneasy in tho present
state OF affairs. The truth is, party dstinc-
tions are fast being swallowed up by that all
absorbing subject, the slavery question. The
South is unanimous for Buchanan, while the
West aud the Eastern and Middle States
with few exceptions are almost as unanimous
for Fillmore and Fremont. This is truly a
strange state Of affairs and much to be re-
gretted. Any one at all conversant with our
political affairs must have forseen, long since,
that such would be the result. The crisis
has, no doubt, been hastened on by the i'll
timed action of President Pierce, Judge
Douglass and others in regard to the Missou-
ri Compromise, and the Kansas and Nebras-
ka bill.

TIE PRoGREss OF LIFE,-Men rejoice when
the sun is risen they rejoice also when it goes
down, while they are unconscious Of the decay
of their own lives. Men rejoice on seeiug the
face ofa new season as at arrival of one grea.
lily desired. Nevertheless the revolution oil
one season is the decay of human life. Frag-
nents of drift wood meeting in the wide ocean
continue together little space; thus parents,
wives, children, trends and riches, remain
with US short time, then separate-and the
separation is inevitable. No mortal can es-
cape the comon lot; he who mourns for de-
parted relatives has no power to cause them to
return. One standing on the road would
readily say to number of persons passing by,
will follow you. Why, then, should per-
son grleye when journeying the same road
which has been assuredly travelled by all our
forefatbers; Life resembles a cataract rush
ing down with irresistible impetuosity.-
Knowing that the end of life is death, every
right minded man ought to pursue that which
is connected with happiness and ultimate
bliss.
