Hon. Daniel S. Dickinson.

The Chicago Times, the accredited organ of
Judge DoUeLAs, has high appreciation Of the
personal and political character of New York s
favorits champion, the Hon. DANIEL S. Dick
lNsoN. The political opinions of that gentle
man and the editor of this paper are, SO far as
we know, identical. We rejoice that in the
great state Of New York, there has always
been one man, at least, who never bowed his
head to the storm of abolition fanstcism. We
not only recognize 1.-The existence of Mr.. Dick
inson as candidate for the presidency" but
we will go further and say that if he be NOM
mated he will not only receive the cordial sup
port Of this paper but Of the entire democracy
Of Illinois. We trust that no man less soundly
Raiioaal than Mr.. Dickinson will be nomi-
mated, and whoever il be we will support him.
The democracy Of shis state are in no way
tainted with abolition 4; when a man in this
state gets that disease, we send him out Of our
camp and he finds his appropriate place in .he
opposition. Ii lie purified democracy of this
kind, that has kept the principles OF the party
always trinmphant in Illinois and Mr.. Dick.
inson or any other man might feel proud IN
der the consciousness that such party as the
democracy Of Illinois are prepared and willing
to give their undivided support in case he be
the nominee Of the Cincinnati Convention.

Our First Bow,

By the above announcement, it will be seen
that have taken the "Chair EDITORIAL of the
Eastern Times. In assuming this responsible
ity, it is expected that should give my read
ers an outline of the course l intend to pursue.
] intended TO have done so /; but my time has
been so much taken up during the few days |
have had charge, in other matters connected
with the Business Department of the Office,
that | have not prepared what intended to
say, but shall do so at some length in the next
issue. Suffice it TO say, the Times will be
conducted on purely NATIONAL DEMOCRATIC
PRINcIPLEs-sustaining the nominee of the
next National Convention, whether ii be that
distinguished Statesman and Patriot, FRANK
LIN PIERCE, or anybody else.
With these few words OF apology for not
saying more, we make our best and first bow
TO our .eaders-hoping that we shall have a
"co>y time of it" during the exciting political
canvass before US. JOHN ABBOTT.
Eastern times., 1856-04-24

DEMncRAric VicroRIEs.-We never saw so
many democratic victories in Ohio at The spring
elections before. Cincinnati, Toledo, San
dusky, Circleville, Chillicothe, Lancaster, Me-
dina, Seville, Dover, Hamilton, Aberdeen, are
few ofthe places that pronounce against fu-
sionism
10 Indiana, too, the recent township elections
show as far as heard from the heaviest kind Of
majoriiies for the old line democracy. 10 In
disnspolis, The capital, where the black repub-
hcan K. n. fusion ticket had three hundred ma
j'rity last year, the democrats have now about
the same majority, net gain Of 600.
la Madison the democrats elected their may
or BY 742 to 229 for all sorts of opposition.
Turning to Iowa, we 6nd that the people Of
Dubuque could not be deserved by the secret
tactics of the opposition, bu, defeated them
~orsc than they would have been beaten had
they come out manfully. In Davenport, Gil
bert G. r. Mitchell, democrat, was elected by
I35 majority. and seven out Of the eigh, alder
man elected are democrats also.

" We will Subdue You"

These words, that infamous sheet, the Ne,u
York Tribune, puts into Senator Douglas s
mouth, as having been addressed TO the
Esprit of of Freedom in the North" in the
course Of late speech in the Senate, and it is
surprising how the small fry Of the black-re-
publican press have resounded them. Senator
DOUGLAS NEVER uttered such ,rords, or words
of such purport The words he DID utter, fol-
low: ....-... -........ . l-......... ....--
I" The senator stakes himself on the minori.
ty report. | say that report justifes foreign
interference in Kansas, while the majority re-
port denied the right of foreign interference.
Taking the minority report can justify, un-
der its principles, every act that has been dene
in regard to Kansas, either by persons from
Massachusetts or from Missouri. The major
ity report denies the right of any man TO vio-
late the law, to'pervert the principles of the
Kansas-Nebraska act, whether he comes from
the North or the South. The minority repor
advocates foreign interference. We are ready
TO meet the issue, and there will be no dodg
ing. We intend to meet it boldly, to requir,
submission TO the Gd,os aad 10 the constituted du
hOrties, TO reduce TO subjection those lrho resis
them, and to punish rebellion and treason.
am glad that defiant spirit is exhibited here
we accept the issue"
That distinguished patriot and statesman
(Senator DoueLAs) will stand to these words
and so will the democratic party.

BATH, APRIL "a, 1856.
YaladictQrY.

Il IL now little more than SIX years since
we assumed the proprietorship of the EAsTERs
TINES. We entered upon the duties of its ed
.itorial management with some just idea, as We
trust of the responsibility Of the situation, ant
determination to exer, ourself to the best O
our ability TO furnish the public with weekly
journal that should command their respect and
the confidence aud suppor, of the Democratic
party. We entertained the idea that the le-
gitimate aud proper sphere of political jour-
nal was fair, open and candid avowal OF
principles, aud fearless discussion OF them ;
that private piques and personal quarrels
should never in any manner find sympathy
with public press. To the former we have
devoted ourself, with what success. we leave
our readers to Judge; the latter we have ever
avoided, and tried in our humble measure to
silence the frs, mutterings of family commo-
tion, and quiet the angry waters stirred up by
political malcontents. We have ever been
actuated with desire to know and do what
was right and just, and if we have erred, we
trust our readers will pardon us, and charge
the fault upon our judgment-not our heart.
During our connexion with this paper, we
have found many warm and devoted friends,
who have ever manifested lively interest In
our success-qeutIemen of noble mould, whose
sympathy and unaffected offices of kindness
have liphtened our burdens, and served to
cheer us on in our toll. In the trials 10 which
we have been subjected, we have always found
them ready to extend to US the assistance we
needed. Their memory will be dearly cher
ished, and the fond wish of one faithful heart,
at least, shall ever upward raise the fervenl
aspiration that the richest of Heavens bles-
sings may rest upon them.
Having disposed of the establishment, it be-
comes our duty to vacate the editorial chair,
and introduce to the readers of the Times, Mr..
JOHN ABBorT, an able and devoted democrat,
whose tact in the conducting of a political
newspaper is pioverbial, and whose weekly
labors we hope may be more interesting and
edifying than ours have been.
And now, dear readers, farewell. We go
from this to ether scenes but the remem-
brance of your kindness and forbearance will
never forsake us. Long may you live and
at the close of this transitory life, may you all
enjoy the satisfaction of having done your du-
ty, and 60 to dwell in the blssful regions of
that other land where trials and troubles are
never known. GEO. E. NEWMAN.
Bath, April Is, 1856.

BIBLES AND SLAvEkY.-The Montgomery,
Ala, Journal gives an accoun, of the set out
of Major Buford's company for Kansas, from
which it appears that religion was made to
play part in the designs of slavery propagan-
dists. "They marched to the Baptist Church
and after solemn and appropriate prayer by
the Rev. Mr.. Durman, ofihe Methodist Church,
a magnificent copy Of the Bible was presented
to Major Buford, by the Rev. Mr.. Tichenor,
the pastor Of the Baptist Church, who also
stated that means had been put into the hands
Of the Major to furnish each emigrant with a
copy Of the holy Scriptures.
Hon. IL. w. Hilliard bid them farewell from
a cotton bale" So from the north emigranis
60 forth TO Kansas with Bibles and Sharp S
rifles TO make il free state, and from the south
they 60 in the same manner to make it a slave
state. If they ge, out Of ammunition in con-
test will they throw their Bibles at each other ,

nT The Belfast Republican Journal says
that "the defence Of Judge Davis was very
much in keeping with the Inconsistencies OF
the party that has been assessed some $1,000
TO pay for the defence. Paine's powerful
speech" was as good as could have been made
for so hard cause, and its author earned his
honest money in making it; Smiths, (Which
was biting and sarcastic, cost nothing, and
was worse than nothing Choate's was very
sympathetic, c,-not up to his usual power,-cosl
$1,000, and was delivered with glass Of bran
dy before the orator, which might have been
seized in transita 10 his lips on many occasions
SO mush for the manner and cost Of getting uf
severs ,leclioneering documents in this Davis
case.

Foreign News---Peace in Europe,

Foreign NeWS--Peace In Europe.
The Baltic, which arrived on the 18th inst,
brings the gratifying intelligence Of the formal
proclamation of peace, which The Allies re-
ceive with enthusiasm. The terms of the
treaty are not yet known, but from the tone of
the despatch it is probable that although Rus
sia has succumbed, the Western powers have
been more magnanimous than might have been
expected had peace not been SO ardenty de-
sired. The war commenced in July 1853, and
has involved loss of about SOC, 900 lives and
an expense OF 81 500, 900, 900. 1t is most
gratifying event to the whole commercial
world.
The most interesting item of intelligence
brought by the Africa, which arrived in New
York on the 2lst inst, is the report that the
blockade upon the ports of Russia is now tax
en- up. The raising of the blockade has been
officially announced by Lord Palmerston in
Parliament, and the fact has probably been
telegrsphed to the Russian ports and to the
commanders OF the blockading squadron. This
notification opens the ports Of Russia TO the
vessels of neutral powers, but it would appear
from statement of Lord Palmerston, in reply
to an Interpolation, that British.vessels cannot
as yet enter Russian ports in safety. The
premier was asked if British ships could enter
Russian ports, for commercial purposes, with
out risk of seizure, To which he replied that
ssthe question was one involving other consid-
eratons, and he was not at the present mo-
ment prepared to give an answer to it,"
The allied governments are commencing
their preparations for removing their armies
and materials from the seat Of war. The task
will be an immense one, and will probably CO.
cupy several months.
AMERICAN HOTEL, BosroN.-We perceive
that Mr.. w. P. MEsERvE, late the efficient and

american" is one of the largest and most ele-
