ALEXANDRIA CORRESPONDENCE

= ALEXANDRIA, Sept 5, 1856.
The Democracy assembled in large numbers
in the saloon of the Lycean Hall last night
II. c. Ward, Esq, vice PRESIDENT of the Dem
'ocrstic association presided, and the hall was
thronged with dense crowd of all parties.
David Funston, Esq addressed the assem-
blage with great force and ability, setting
forth in the opening of his speech the great
lines that marked party divisions in this coun.
try, and showing that the Know Nothings and
Black Republicans took one side, whilst the
Democracy were ranged on the other. He ex-
smined the present position of parties, the
fusions effected at the North against the con-
stitutional rights of the States, and concluded,
after an examination of the records Of the
American and Democratic candidates, with an
earnest appeal to men of all Pc. lies who love
their country, to stand in this hour of peril by
the standard bearers of the Constitution,
Buchanan and Breckenridge.
Mr.. Funston having concluded, Mr.. W. ID.
Wsllsoh was loudly called for, and took the
hustings amid much applause. Mr.. w. said
he did not come there to make o speech, but
in reply to the kindly call made upon him be

He avowed his conviction, founded on constant
communication with the press and men Of all
sections, that the Democratic nominees were
certain of every Southe.l State; that Penr-
sylvar's, CALIFORNIA, Indiana, Illinois, and
New Jersey, would be found side by side with
their Southern brethren in upholding the BAN
ner of State rights.

January 60, 1851:
" If the members elect vote as thew have
voted in the Atlantic States, and as they would
vote were they there again, a wing will have
Col. Fremont's Scat. As for Fremont himself,
there is is not at present the least hope for
him. Both parties distinctly disavow both

neglect Of his duties IN Congress, to electioneer
for another term, has also Deen highly preju-
dicial to his interest,"
Most readers are aware that the New York
Herald has for some time been advocating the
cause of the Republicans. A few days ago,
however, it gave signs of kicking over the
traces, holding the following language: eve

The Home Of the Dead.-Few strangers
visiting Washington take the Eastern Branch
or Congressional burial ground in the range Of
their sightseeing tours. Yet there are really
few places in the District of Columbia of moro
interest to those coming among US from dis.
lance. Apart from the natural beauty of its
picturesque position, and the many tasteful
works Of the sculptors art with which It is en-
bellished, an hour spent within its limits
brings upon the mind of the observer a rush
of American historical "reminiscences hardly
otherwise to be ccnjured up in these days of
universal exertion and strife over the affairs
Of the present moment Hundreds of those
who have within the last thirty years indoli-
bly, impressed their names upon their coun-
try's annals, military, naval, and civil, lie
entOmbed there; and as one reads the brief BIZ
ography Of each Of these heroes and statesmen,
a q God Of grateful recollection necessarily rush
through the memory, even of the visitor little
given to take the Trouble of thinking. Though
the cemetery in question may not vie in the

Humbug! Jacob wept ('oe know something
about it) because Rachel would not let him kiss
her on the lips, for who would mol cry if he had
to kiss pretty girl on the cheek' We would,
that's certain; it almost makes us cry to think
about it-Ash0ille Spectator.
You are all mistaken. The fact is. Jacob was
constitutionally ,imid man; he fled from his
home through fear of Esau, and seeing this
beautiful maiden at the close of long journey,

and then, fearing the result, supposing she had
father or brothers, the poor fellow lifted up
his voice and wept."- Columbia Nep Era.
