the present campaign. Mr.. Jefferson was
opposed from the pulpit Sunday after Suoday

flesh, and charged with being the father OF
his slaves. The business, however. was over
done as it will be now. 4 reaction com

% Professor JOHN MENGEs, the accomm
dating bar keeper of the C. D., Jr., will
please receive our most pious thanks for that
battle of superior brandy, he was SO kind as
to send us. We have often received similar
presents from our friends and advertisers, but
we cannot for the life of US, imagine why
they should send " brandy! We never
touch the ardent o~urself, but, nevertheless,
We shall apply the contents of that bottle to
a good purpose-it shall be distributed around
to the poor and needy Of our little town.

Nicaragua.

The steamer Tennessee, which sailed from
New Orleans, on Wednesday last, for San
Juan, took out another. and a large addition
to the hardy band OF Americans who are
fighting under the leadership Of the gallant
Walker, to raise Nicaragua from the depths
of Ignorance and degradation under which,
she, in common with the other States Of Cen
trail America. has SO long labored. This last
detachment Of emisrants is composed mostly
of Young men, who are full of visor and
bright hopes; prepared to devote their ener-
sies, to developing the wealth of the country
or to take up arms in defence OF the enI'ght-
ened institutions which are now firmly plant
ed in that hitherto b%enighted land. The
eyes of millions follow their footsteps, and
millions Of hearts throb with sympathy forthe
glorious cause in which they are engaged
Tn. return of the Tennessee is anxiously
looked for, as she will doubtless bring news
that another battle has been fought; that the
grand combination of petty despots against
the advancement of civilization, has been
overwhelmed. and that the star of Nica,aguan
destiny, now high in the heaveDs. is undim-
med by a cloud. Whether thedecisive blow
has yet been struck, or that Walker is wait
ing for still further Ieinforcements. and APP
p~liances of waT, does not affect the final re-
suit of the struggle. Neither the rulers nor
the Isied, who occupy that beautiful potion
ofthe earth, have the stamina to successfully
resist the sturdy strides of the Anglo-Saxon
progress, and the time is rapidly approach
ing when the degraded masses who have been
reused by their demagcgue leaders to oppose
the revolution in their political and social
condition, now going on, will bless the day
that Walker landed on their shores. He
who was the adventurer yesterday, is to-day,
to all intents and purposes, the head of a
peaceful Republic, containing in abundance,
the elements of wealth and future greatness.
The spirit Of progress which characterizes
the age, is as yet terminating IL Central

Carson: on her down trip, had barge load
ed with cotton, in tow. which was run into
during the night, this side of Tate Shoals, by
the steamer Champion, on her up trip. The
guard of the Champion passed under the low
ei tier of cotton which extended over the
side of the barge about two feet. and as she
went by, nine bales tumbled on to her deck.
Three negroes jumped from the barge to the
Champion to get the cotton back, and while
they were in the act of doing so, the boats
parted, and the Champion pushed on up to
Montgomery with nine bales of cotton and
three negroes belonging to the Sallie Carson.

The true Democrat., 1856-07-08
MORNING, JULY 8. 1856.

l. ReSolCed, That the questions connected with the 1orelgn policy of the country inferior to do mestsc question whatever. The time has come for the people of the United States declare themselves m 1avor of free seas, and progressive free trade, throughout the world and by solemn manifestations, to place their moral influence by the side of their cessfu example.
 }. ReSolued, That our geographical and political position with reference to the other States of this unent, no less than the interest of our and the development of our growing power requires that We hold to the sacred principles involved in the Mon roe doctrine. Their bearing and import admit of no mlscOnstructon, and should be applied with un- bending rgidity
 3. ReSo1Ied. That the great highway which nature as well as the assent of States most immediately n- terested Tn its maintanance has been marked free communication between the Atlantic and the Pa cltlc oceans, and constitutes of the mpor- tant achievements to be realized by the spirit of iteration, in the unconquerable energy of our people; and that result should be secured by time and eff tcient exertion of the control which have right to claim over it. and no power earth should be su tered to impede or clog its progress by any inerer ence with relations that 1t may suit policy tabish with the government of the States within whose domlnions 1t lies; and can. under no cir cumstanceS, surrender our preponderance i'll the ad justment of all questions arising out oft.
 4 ReSotted, That in view of so commanding an interest the people of the United States cannot but sympathze with the efforts which are being made by the people of Central America to regcnerate that DOT ton of the continent which covers the passage across the oceanic Isthmus.
 D. Resolcel. That the democrat party will expect from the next administration every proper effort to be made to insure ascendency in the Gulf of Mex leo, and to maintain permanent protection of the great outlets through which empted into it's ters the products raised the soil and the commo dies created by the industry of the people of our Western vallics and the Union at large.
The true Democrat., 1856-07-08
New York Democracy.

Below we give the letters of Dickenson and Bronson as an evidence that the New York hards are pleased with the action of the Gin clnnatl convention, There is now no division between the hards and the softs. The wall of partition is broken down, and the democra- cy, which compose large majority of the peo- pie of New York, present to their enemies an unbroken front. New York will cast her electoral vote for Buchanan beyond any ques- ton.
 It will be remembered that Mr. Dickenson is the man whom the southern Know Nothings wish to nominate for the Presidency How great were the inducements held out to him to join the order Mir. Dickenson is a man of great foresight, he is democrat, and ho sup ports James Buchanan. Let the southern Know Nothings, who admire him so highly, follow his example:
