The New York Democracy at Discount
in Virginia.

in Virginia.
The New York Democracy, by allowing
themselves to be SO tremendously beaten by
Fremont, have lost caste in Virginia, and
must make up their minds to stand in the
background during the coming admnistra-
ton. The Richmond Enquirer snubs them
in regular overseer style. "Since the dis
covery that President can be elected against
their will, perhaps they may not betray so
much of arrogance and importantly in their
clamor for place." The war of the Shells is
thus referred to:
"At the threshold of his Administration.
Mr.. Pierce was embarrassed by the SQUAD
bles of the New York politicians; and that
early complication has been the cause of all
his subsequent trouble and disappointment.
No doubt he regrets that after the selection
Of Secretary of State, he did not slam the
door of the Treasury in the face of the raw
enous and ferocious horde of spoiIsmen from
the State of New York. If he had only
avoided the clash and conflict of the Shells,
what an infnity of vexation would he have
averted But this policy was impracticable
under the circumstances, and Mr.. Pierce had
no alternative but to make the most of cru
ell necessity. Fortune is more propitious to
Mr.. Buchanan. New York did nothing for
him, and it is not incumbent upon him to do
anything for New York"

Revival Of the Slave Trade.

The New York Evening Post, very sa-
gacious and we'll informed journal, tells it's
readers, in an article devoted to Mr.. John
Slidel, of Louisiana, how the Slave-trade is
to be revived, says:
The African slave-trade, if it be ever re-
vived, must be revived gradually. Our poll
ticians are too shrewd to shock the public
with sudden repeal of the laws against it
that, they are aware, would not be borne.
They will prefer to get at the result indi-
rectly, by successive approaches, as they got
at the introduction of slavery into Kansas
The convention with Great Britain for the
suppression of the traffic in human beings
brought from Africa, is the public testimony
of our government against the practice as
crime against humanity. That was the first
to be got rid Of Mr.. Slidell, in his report,
therefore, confined himself to this prelimi-
nary step. He questioned the policy of en-
tering into any stipulations of this sort with
any foreign power, and he was sure that the
employment of our squadron on the African
coast was ineficacious. Yet he disclaimed
4" the intention of relaxing in any degree the
stringency of our legislation on the subject
of the African slave-trade." Having got rid
of the treaty, the next step will be to get rid
of the legislation which prohibits the trade.
Various expedients will be resorted to for
this purpose. 1t will be discovered that GER
tain Of our laws against the traffic are i'm
perative that others do more harm than
good that others are of doubtful constitu-
tionaIity. People will not entertain the re-
hottest intention of relaxing the stringency
of our legislation )" they will only seek to
conform it to the constitution-to prune
away Objectionable and inefficient regula-
tons. They will legislate to prevent the in
PRODUCTION of Slavery into Kansas. In this
way we may see the traffic revived and in
full activity, by the concurrence and help OF
Northern members of Congress, who agree
with Mr.. Slidell in thinking it justly odious
on moral grounds and in every way prejudi
cial to our interests.
The quiet thrusts at the pretences for the
Kansas Nebraska bill, are in the Posts hap
piest vein.

BANK MATTERs.-The Bank of the Reput

BANK MATTERs.-The Bank of the Repub-
lie, Providence, the failure of which was an
nounced some weeks since, appears to be a
bad wreck. A letter to Thompson's Bank
Note Reporter, under date of Providence,
Nov. l3, says, " The Mt. Vernon Bank is
paying nothing to-day. The Governor, last
evening, sent commissioners in to examine
the affairs, who pronounce the bank able to
meet all its liabilities, and they will resume
payment again in day or two" The Co.
lumbus (Ga.) Enquirer states that an inves-
tgation of the affairs Of the suspended Man
ufacturers and Mechanics Bank was made a
few days ago by a receiver appointed
for that purpose, and that the resources
available for the redemption of its liabilities
were found to be very scant. 1t is said that
the amount outstanding is about $4,000.
Some sales of it's paper have been made as
low as 25 cents on the dollar.

VOYAGE OF BorrLE.-The following
memorandum came ashore off the Gull

This bottle was afoat 252 days, and per-
formed voyage measuring, according to the
shortest route, distance of at least 1850
statute miles. This is another illustration
of the fact that the Amazon, as well as the
Mississippi, casts its drift into the Gulf Of
Mexico. This bottle passed the offing of the
Amazon on its way, travelled across the Ca
ribbean Sea, and entered the Gulf of Mexico
by the Yucatan Pass.

The Last Gasp.


The Democracy $50 called) of St. Anthony
in particular, and of Hennepin County ir
general, went into battle last October under
the leadership of Abram NJ. Fridley and Isaac
Atwater-two renegade wings, in whom nc
men of any party have the least particle Of
political confidence. "Frid, "-as he is fami-
liarly called by his cronies-it will be recol-
lected. ran for the Council in St. Anthony
which district, although heretofore strongly
Democratic, most thoroughly repudiated his
pretentions, and to the great joy of honest
people all over the Territory, of whatever
party, rid the Legislature of his presence.
Well, since the election of sold Buck 81
was rendered certain, Fridley and Atwater
have been trying to work themselves again
into the good graces of the party, and in a
measure attempt to atone for the ignominious
disgrace which it suffered by being over
thrown, through their appropriately, in st.
Anthony. So, few days since they set on
foot the preliminaries of grand glorification
ball and supper at the st. Charles House, in
honor of their Presidential triumph.
The shadow of the affair came off upon
the evening of the 9th ult. The eatables
and drinkables were all there, but the true
men of the Minnesota Democracy were not.
Mr.. Sibley had been invited; Judge Sher-
burne had been invited; Land Officer Odds
had been invited our worthy Mayor, Geo.
L. Becker, had been invited sundry other
good and prominent leaders of the party had
been invited, but the turned chairs of all
these at the table remained turned, or were
occupied by the "hungry rabble " during
the gloomy repast.
Altogether, it is said to have been dry
affair, SO far as brains, character and senti-
ment were concerned. The fact is, Fridlcy
and Atwater have not the confidence of the
true and honest Democracy Of Minnesota.
Men of true political integrity-such as those
who refused to attend their hollow hearted
feast-despisc all such marketable stuff, and
refuse to touch or handle it.
