and draw from the of kguardsm charges OF
Indecent and revolving character they would scarcely
have been tolerated in those haunt Of vice and crime from

be repeated in columns These charges were made
against the personal character of who has been hon

THE UNION OF THE ATLAS AND ARGUS.-THE
UNION OF THE EMPIRE DEMOCRACY.


The first great step towards the ascendency of the New
York democracy taken when the sofs held their late
convention, and placed themselves truly national
platform. The union of the Albany Atlas and Albany
Argus under the of the Atlas and Argus is the
next and the finishing step in the work necessary to the
achievement of glorious democratic victory in 1856
The union of these two old and able journals upon sound
national principles and the maintenance Of those prin
cples with the vgor, zeal, and power which the edi
tors to employ cannot fail to redeem the
Empire State Fl ON the dominion of the distractions and
fanacsms OF which it has been prey for several years
past We have before the FIRST number of the Atlas
and Argus, and it furnishes ample earnest Of its future
influence. From copy the following extract from the
announcement of the arrangement:
Our political views well understood by the pub
lie to demand exposition this occasion; will we enter
that subject beyond the remark that aims will fall
short of realization should JOURNAL while exercising the
liberal liberation of opinion fail to reflect faithfully the
principles of the democratic party of the Union, and to
prove the and honor of the whole country
We gratifed to believe that whatever division exists
among democrats of this State Of organization
rather than of principle The treatment of political topics
demands the spirit and language Of cancellation less
than fidelity sound doctrine and the combined influence
both ought speedily to close broken ranks and to unite
in the approaching important political in cordial
and support tire nominees Of the Democratic Ma
tional Convention. To make journal the organ of
clique section-anyhipg less than exponent of the
views Of the whole democratic party in this State-woad
neither satisfy aims repay the expenditure of effort

Where burns the lov'd hearth brightest,
Cheering the social brensts
Where beats the fond heart lightest,
It's humble hopes possessed
Where is the smile Of sadness
OF meck-eyed patience born2
Worth more than those Of gladness,
Which mrth's bright cheek adorn;
Pleasure is marked by hoetness
To those who bhndly roam,
While grief itself has sweetness
Al Home, dear Home.
There blend the ties that strengthen
Our hearts in hours Of guef
The silver links that leng;hcn
Joys visits when most brief;
There, eyes in all their splendor
Are vocal TO the heart
And voices gay and tender
Fresh eloquence impar
Then dost thou sigh for pleasure
Oh! do not blinaly roami
Bot seek that hidden treasure
AT Home, dear Home.
Does pure religion charm thee,
Far more than aught below
WouIdst thou that she should arm thee
Against the hour Of voc?
Think not she dweieth only
10 temples made for prayer,
For Home tsolf were lonely
Without her presence there;
The deyotee may iaitef
The bigot bludiy roam,
If worsnpess his altar,
At Home, dear Home.
Love over It presIdeth,
With meek and watchtll care,
It's holy service gu.de,h,
And shows It's perfect law.
II rRrRE thy faith shall iail thee
It IHEKE no shrine be found
What can thy prayers avail thee
With kneeilng crowds arouud2
Go leave thy gifts unodered,
Before religions dome,
And be her first fruits proaered
AT Home, dear Home.

CENTRAL AMERrcA-THE PRESIDENCY.

The Southern people, honest and sincere them
selves are too ready to be satisfied with good talk
and fair promises when there Is but little intention
to act them out. Southern interests, In the affairs
and difficulties which have 80 frequently grown out
of the insults and injuries committed upon flag
and people by the authorities of Cuba, have been
left unredrcsscd and atoned for to pass into oblv
ion like an old song Central America is now be-
coming the theatre of similar outragcs but far more
revolving in their character; our citizens in that
quarter left without protection, their property
destroyed and they insultcd and outraged in any
shape or manner and to any extent that half civilized
barbarans, backed By British authorities may choose to
nfict The Monroe doctrine has become dead letter,
an old saw, reproach.
Will not the democracy of the south take these i'm
portant matters into consideration in the selection
Of their next candidate for the Presidency? To say
nothing of our own statesmen of the south can we
not rely with full faith and confidence upon the great
west for an acting. not talking president?
We tell the people Of the south that the time has
come when they should look with more directness to
the great interests Of the south and to the men who
can be relied upon in promoting those Interests and
IT, among these interests southern territory is expand
ed or In other words the Of freedom IL extend
ed southwark we must look TO southern or western
president.
The great west is the ganay of the world the south
the clothier of the world they feed the hungry and
clothe the naked of the world their great mission is
the benevolent command of heaven, ordained for the
highest and nobcst purposes of humanity their great
interests and destiny are therefore too intimately
interviewer and blended together to be lost sight Of
at the approaching Cincinnati Convention.
