Three Faces Under Hood" Timso d

macs ions fersntes.''-We have more than
once, of late, taken occasion to call the atten.
ton CT our Southern Democratic readers to
the fact that the most Objectionable class of
Northern pseudo Democratic politicians have
mounted themselves on tho back of Mr.. Bu-
chansn, and are now Justify " screaming for
his nomination at Cincinnati. Edmund Burke,
Of New Hampshire, is fair type of the class
to whom We aliude. Personal disappointment
made him bitter enemy of the present Ad-
ministration. Te his regeneration and ex-
ertions the Democracy, for the most part, owe
their defeats of late in New Hampshire He
went of to the Know Nothings, avowedly to
bring about the defeat of the Democracy, and
adopted the Abolition platform, the phase of
Know Nothingism prevailing in New Hamp-
shire. He has edited the New Hampshire
Reporter, the organ of the Know Nothing
Abolitionists of New Hampshire who deserted
the Democracy since President Pierce was in
augurated and we propose to show from its
columns what Mr.. Edmund Burke has been
politically, since the last Democratic National
Convention. We have before US a copy of the
Reporter for April Is, 1885, and find at the
head of its editorial columns the following
standing notice:
"~ Articles in this paper marked with
on index ~ are written by Hon. Edmund
Burke"
From one of the Reporters articles of that
date, so marked, we make the following ex-
tract:
"We have from the beginning been opposed
TO this miserable business of violating TIA
sacred aud solemn compact between the North
and the South. And, the articles which we
then prepared for this journal on the subject
were denounced as hostile by the concoctors
of the wretched scheme Our readers will
remember the insolent assault of Judge Doug
las himself upon u.s. and our reply to that
champion Of the interest to be promoted by the
repeal. They understood our position, as we
intended they should, to be one Of opposition
TO their treason against the rights and interests
Of the free States, and the nights of labor the
honor and dignity Of which are the great
matters involved in this question.
a. The measure was passed, and it has
awakened spirit Of deep indignation through
out the entire North, which will not be al
layed, in our judgment until full and ample
PREPARATION is made for the wanton violation
of q sacred compact and that reparation can
only be made by the restoration of the Mis-
souri, restriction. We believe, moreover, that
o x
ponents in Congress that, henceforth, the
General Government shall wash its hands Of
all further connection with the institution of
slavery"
Mr.. Edmund Burke, the author of the SEN
timeuts we quote above, finds it convenient
TO lay aside temporarily his principles as en-
braced in the quotation above made, protest.
ing his Identification with the New York
"Hard" Democracy, and claiming, of course,
TO have been ostracised only for his devotion
to their cause.
He will probably be " on hand" at Cinein-
natl, laboring to create the impression that
President Pierce is a very bad Democrat,
should be taboOed by the South, and all that
sort of thing. We quote him, as above, that
the delegates from other States may fairly
and fully comprehend the manner of politi-
ciaa he is when he approaches them, and the
sentiments actuating his intended labors at
Cincinnati. We shall give our readers peep
at his Know Nothing face tomorrow.
The Steam Prigate Susquehanna As |
many contradictory rumOrs concerning the |
condition Of the machinery Of this ship (Just |
gone to San Juan del Norte.) we publish the |
following report from her chief engineer con-
corning its performance on her present cruise |
ere the pilot left her. 1t is dated Delaware |
Bay, May Is, 1856
From Philadelphia to Newcastle the en- |
gines worked well, with the exception of the |
vacuum; that, however, was soon improved, |
and we are DOW going along fnely-the pilot |

not the slightest tremor observable, and the |
general remark Of all Is, How quiet the ship |

the boilers, but, as / thought, they have |
stopped, and the boiler is apparently as tight |
as q bottle. ] have kept the GOiLsr hampers |
close down, and then make plenty Of steam |
for twelve revolutions, (which is more than |
sne used to make, on nrst starting, with |
deep immersion of bueket,) and the throttle |

with the ship. |

tanned the pressure by direct weighing, and by
calculations also, taking of one Of the valve

No log has been thrown yet, so that L
cannot give you her speed correctly; but the
pilot tells me he shall leave at point sixty
eight miles from Newcastle, and the time will
be six hours from the minute the engines were
hooked on. which will give eleven and one
