DTBefnrc the Democrats presume to ask
or expect any human being to have the least
respect in the world for any platform they
may put forth, let them answer the two ques-
tons we have so often pnt to them without
being able to elicit any reply. First, did not
the Democratic party, in their National Con-
vent,oh Of 1852, solcmnly pledge themselves
never to give the least countena,cc to The ag-
itation of slavery under any circumstances
Secondly, did any human being think or
dream in the following year that the Missouri
Compromise could be repealed by Congress
without the agitation of slavery! Ifany
Democratic organ will answer these questions
the answer will no doubt meet with due con-

FALLING TO PIECES. Tho Democratic party
in Virginia are assurcdy in woful plight.
A few days ago we noticed that MIR. Irving,
one of their Presidential electors, had declined
to serve in that capacity; and now we find
that Thos. +. Goode, Esq, another of the
Virginia Democratic electors, has published a
letter declining the very questionable honor of
being the champion of the Squatter Sovereign
ty party Mr.. living is the author Of letter
published few weeks previous to the as
sclnbling of the Cincinnati Convention, in
which he proved to the satisfaction of large
portion of the Virginia Democracy that Buch-
anan is not sound on the slavery question.
Mr.. Goodc declares that he is not member
of the Democratic party. There don't seem
to be enough Buchanan mon in Virginia to
form an electoral ticket. -LoujSriHc Jounal.

we have the pleasure TO say on authority of
Major TIimble that Hartford and Baltimore
counties are ready to perform their part to-
ward the enterprise, and invite Cecil to proceed
as fast as practicable, with the assurance that
nothing will be wanting on their part to push
forward the work as speedily rs may be de-
sired; we hope the encouragement may slim
ulatc the stock holders in Cecil to a little more
activity in furnishing the means necessary to
do the grading through their territory. The
work has been retarded slightly by few
persons demanding high prices for right Of
way; but as this obstruction has been removed
by the amounts being affixed by juries, no.
thing is now wanting but the necdful to do
the work.

Inconvenience for the want of public road

as New Valley, the Commissioners, we be-

the road has done nothing yet. The want of
a Bridge across Basin Run, at our village, has
been seriously felt during the heavy rains
lately. rendering it impossible to pass. even
on horse back. We hope the proper person
will undertake The work soon, so that it may
be completed before cold weather; we do not
know of ~ worse folding in winter.

Ten THOUSAND CONVERTS. The stampede
which has taken place in Indiana. among the
Buchanan and Fremont men, is alarming the
Democratic Federal Foreign party to 4 fearful
extent. AS many as ten thousand men went
over to Fillmore and Donclson. So says ~
member Of Congress. who has just returned
to WASHINGTON from Indiana. This is only
the beginning Of the end ormattcrsin Indiana
Illinois and Ohio. Revolutions never go
backwards. All the Fillmore party have to
f ar is that Buchanan will be withdrawn in
those States, 50 as to concentrate their forces
upon Fremont. Already, i'll Indiana, Illinois,
