And, as If this were not enough to disgust
the country and bring the honest portion Of
the Democracy up TO white heat, the pure,
excellent and patriotic Bronson was insulted,
by his removal from the Oollectorship of New
York, to make way for miserable ycophant
an obscure attorney from one Of the small vii
lagos of the interior.
Then came the repeal of the Missouri Com
promise-a measure which James Buchanan
himself declared to be "only less sacred than
the Constitution and which was effected
solely by the influence of the present admins
tration, and without the slightest indication in
its favor on the part Of any portion Of the peo-
pie. For that repeal the present administration
is alone responsible. 1t is therefore equally
responsible for the fraternal blood which has
been shed in consequence of its repeal-for the
civil war and general commotion which has
prevailed for nearly year in the Territory OF
Kansas, and for the general alienation which
has for the same period estranged the North
| from the South.
! 1t is for such acts as these that the Union,
impudently assumes that the verdict of we'll
done good and faithful servant is now being
rendered by the people upon Franklin Pierce.
A true report of the verdict which the people
hare rendered upon that unfortunate man
would cmbody quotation from another verse
Of the New Testament and read something
like this depart We cursed into everlasting
| fire, prepared for the devil and his angels"

Another Levy of Black Mail.

The clerks in the Treasury Department were
again called upon yesterday to contribute a Ger.
tain amount for the alleged purpose of sending
men from this District to vote in Maryland on the
4th of November. The citizens of Baltimore,
Prince George and Montgomery should be on the
alert, and watch the polls with Argus eyes. They
may rely upon it that desperate effort will be
made by the administration party to carry Mary
land. Their leaders have admitted that the vote Of
Maryland is absolutely essential to elect Buchanan
and they declare that they wiH have it per tas AIT

forewarned is to be forearmed.

The New York papers inform us that $4,000
foreigners have been naturalized in that city du.
ring the last six weeks.
The Democrats and Republicans pay the
expenses of naturalization. The Herald says:
Z" A few-and they are very few--apply of their
own accord, but the great bulk are recruited by
the Naturalization Committees of Tammany Hall
aud the Republican Central Club. The former
have taken the Irish under their special care,
while the Germans, whose tendencies are of Re-
publican character, seem to have fallen to the
charge of the latter. Both committees pay the
naturalization fees in consideration, it is generally
understood, of the votes which their candidates
are expected to receive in return. Now, as each
fee amounts to fifty cents, and as there have been
about fifteen thousand naturalized, the whole
amount paid must be over seven thousand dollars.
The greater part of this has been paid it is said
by the Democratic committee who have made five
citizens to every three presented by the Republi-
cans. In the first week or two the German appii-
cants preponderated, but they have since been
left in the minority by the constantly increasing
majority of the Irish"
What does Mr.. Banks, who processes to be in
favor of amending the naturalization laws, think Of
the conduct of his Republican friends in New
York? Does he approve of manufacturing for.

pose of defeating the candidate of the American

borough, and Msnatee to hear from, which will
probably give Walker majority sufficient to elect
him. The vote will be close, and, considering
that TIE Democrats had 1,074 majority in 1854,
the result speaks wen for the American party and
its candidates.
Mr.. Baker, the American Congressional candi-
date, is, regret to say, beaten two or three hum
dred votes.
The Democrats have carried the Legislature by
the most unaccountable Encouragement on the
part or the Americans. The Americans lost eight
Representatives and four Senators by an average
majority of ten votes. In Madison and other coun.
ties Democrats are elected on issues purely local
and Eseambia was lost to the Americans by the
open interference Of Federal officers in the cleo
ton, at the Pennsacola Navy Yard.

dent hope Of giving the vote of our State to the

our representatives at foreign courts, instead
leaving the matter whereit should have been
left, to be decided by the good sense and
good taste of the gentlemen Immediately con-
cerned. The regulations - have caused
two or three unpleasant affairs, the latest of
which occurred at the court of st. James on
the 25th ult., on the occasion of a levee of
the Queen. An American military officer, a
West Point Professor, was refused admis-
sion to the Queens. presence, when accom-
panied by Minister Dallas, because he ap-
peared dressed with frock coat, buff vest
and black necktie. Mr.. Dallas would not
enter the royal circle without his friend, and
consequently left the palace, a proceeding
which caused great hubbub for moment
Queen Victoria was informed of the occur
renee. She ordered the gentleman to be ad-
mitted " in any Dress" but Mr.. Dallas had
left with him at the time.
