THE NORTHERN DEMOCRACY FROM A
soUTHERS PoINT OF VIEw.-CooL.-
The Charleston Standard of the 28th
nit, speaking of the Northern Democrats,
says:
Their only safeguard, they find, is to
say that slavery is right, and for that rea-
son it ought to be extended as far as it
win naturally go. We are glad of this.
We felt from the first that it was the only
safe position for those North or South to
stand on; and we have known that we
have done no disservice to the democrats
at the North by backing them up, in sea-
son and out of season, to that stand
The reaction is becoming SO strong in
public opinion all over the country, that
&c would not be surprised to find the
pro-slavery party transcend the limits of
the institution, and control the councils Of
States where there are no slaves. If the
slave trade were reopened, Pennsylvania
would be with the South in less than ten
years, and we are not certain that she
may not yet assist in reopening it,

MangIed BY a Dog.

The family of David Bailey, of Ossian,
New York, had gone away from home,
ana bad spoken to daughter of Mr..
Samuel Mitchell, about 16 years old, to
have her milk their COWS. Mr.. Bailey
kept large dog, that was supposed TO be
familiar with Miss Mitchell. She had
fed him, and wishing to use the pail from
which be had eaten, approached him and
took hold of it. The dog began to growl,
and she told him to stop his noise, when
be instantly sprang at her throat. She
put out her hand to ward him off, when
he seized her arm, taking out piece of
flesh and tearing off her sleeve. He
then seized her other arm, all the while
trying to get at her throat, and managed
TO get her down. But she succeeded in
regaining her feet, and had the presence
Of mind to work her way towards the
house, the dog all the while mangling her
in horrible manner. As she neared
the door the dog seized her by the jaw,
driving BIS teeth to the bone. She at
length got in, and with her feet succeed
ed in partly closing the door, the brute
still hanging to her with devlish ferocity,
only losing his hold when the door was
shut upon him and flesh gave way! The
poor girl sunk to the floor from exhaus-
ton, covered with blood, and with nearly
all her clothing torn off. Her face and
limbs were completely mangled, she hav-
ing received near one hundred and thirty
wounds on her person Mrs. Bailey
being a halt mile or more distant, had
her attention called by her children, TO
the fond snarling fthe dog, and fastened
home to find him covered with blood, ~
ing at the door upon the remnants Of
Miss Ms clothes. On attempting to tie
him up, Mrs. B. received one or two Sc
we're wounds, but finally succeeded, and
the brutal animal was shot. The young
lady IS still living, but in a dangerous
condition.

DARING BURGLARY.-During Satur-
day night and Sunday, the building occu-
pied by the Quebec Agency of the Mon
treal CITY Bank was entered by burglars,
and the safe robbed of nearly $500. The
rogues removed eight feet of solid mason
ry, besides other distractions, in order to
gain access to the safe, which was iron
on every side. A brick floor between
the inner and outer doors of the safe
they dug away, not being able TO force
the outer door. They then wrenched
off the paddock of the inner door, and
secured their prize. Thousands of pounds
in specie and valuable papers deposited
IN the same vault they overlooked.

DRoLL AMUsEMENT.-The ladies of
New Zealand, according to an English
Missionary, have way of their own to
divert themselves =
f" The chief amusement of the people
was, and still is, tangi, or crying. The
ladies pride themselves on their doing
this in the most affecting way, SO that a
stranger would be deceived, and not think
it possible that ii could be mere n1ockery
Of wo, and yet it is nothing more; tears
are shed in abundance and the hands are
wrung, as if suffering the most poignant
grief, whilst the most heart-rending cries
excite the sympathy of the company
The ladies have their heads adorned
with fillets Of leaves, of dogs hair, and
so much JOY do they experience in this
exciting amusement, that they look for
ward TO good crying with the same desire
a young lady in England does to dance
or ball.

President Buchanan's Marriage.

The Washington correspondent OF the
Baltimore Patriot communicates the fol-
lowing gossip respecting the President
elect. We give very little credence TO
the rumor Of Mr.. Buchanan's prospective
marriage with Mrs. Polk, though, so far
as he is concerned, the alliance would
be equally suspicious to his domestic
happiness and his political fame. 1t is
well understood that the late President
Polk, who was an interchangeable writer,
left diary of his administration, con-
tanning some very querulous observations
on the conduct of Mr.. Buchanan, then
his Secretary of State. This record it
was the ambition of his life to have pub
Iished after his death. On this, he de-
sired the reputation of himself and his
administration to rest, and no doubt he
left instructions for its publication
Mrs. Folks marriage to Mr.. Buchanan,
therefore, in such a case, might involve
a conflict of duties. As the widow of
Mr.. Polk, she must feel bound to publish,
as the wife of Mr.. Buchanan, TO suppress,
these damaging revelations. Altogether,
the question is a complicated one, and
demands the next Presidents most de-
liberate consideration. Sixty-fve years
of preparation ought not to result in a
misstep. But here is the Baltimore Pat
riots story:
The gossip concerning Mr.. Buchan-
ans alliance with the widow of deceas-
ed President, the accomplished Mrs.
Polk, grows stronger, and actually be-
gins to partake of probability. In
lady circles, it was limited that his equally
accomplished niece is opposed to the IN
ion, and wants to preside over the White
House herself, and do all the honors
thereof. She acted in that capacity for
him while in London, and of course
thinks herself equal to it here; she is
right. IF the alliance does take place, ii
viii be the first instance in American
history ola President elect marrying"
