Signs of the End.

For q long time the lost tribes have
been wondering about without any
nationality, until the fullness Of THEN
time, when they return to their old
Caanan. The Democratic party, in
it's purer days, refused to affiliate with
some of their old friends on account
Of their political hcresios. Their bulls
Of communication were issued a.
gainst these apostates, and with papal
curses condemned them to political in
fanny, because these schismatics could
not subscribe to their book of faith.
The old-fashioned platforms were too
hard in doctrine for them; so numbers
strayed off until the strength Of the
old stock was reduced so low that
they were about to become a prey to
the enemies; they had become by
word amongst the nations; they were
called by various names of reproach
such as Jacob ladders, converging
lines, &C., &c. 1t then become neces-
sary to get a new disPcnsation to mod
ify their faith suitable to all the tribes;
so in the great Sanhedrim held in u
new section of the Union, called Abo-
litiondom, in the city of Cincinnati,
all the tribes met and made a new
faith, which was agreeable to them.
This was proclaimed throughout the
climes of the sun, and all the region
of Aboltiondom, then all the rebels
and apostatcs came back to their first
love. From the setting sun old Bull
lion came with his host. From the
east Van Buren,, the magician's son,
and some of the Rabbi Of the tribe
called Barnburners and Solts; while
from the North came Trumbull, and
many from the land Of the foreigner;
then all this harmony host chose a
leader suited to their faith, and he is
called the "ten cent Captain" the
mighty warrior Of 1912. These signs
forctell their end, for it is said these
things will happen in the last days
there have been wars and rumors of
wars-and when the fig cess her leaf
in November, the end is at hand.

Colonel Marling states that when
he left, on the 23d of May, Guatemala
had organized an expedition Of 1000
men for the purpose Of driving Walk
er out of Nicaragua, and that the
troops had started for Nicaragua, with
the assurance from the President that
they were but the vanguard of the
army he intended to send against
Walker. Colonel Marling is of the
opinion, however, that Guatemala has
not the means to raise more troops,
and he thinks further that the expedi-
ton will fail before it reaches Mica

MIR. Buchanan in New York.

The N. Y. Herald Of Monday quotes
from the comments of the Daily
journals of that city on the Cincinnati
nominations, and makes the following
remarks:
OF these eleven dailics there are
but three, of an inferior grade or in
different circulation, that fully endorse
the nomination of Mr.. Buchanan,
while in 1852 the nomination Of Frank
lin Pierce was responded to by the
whole of metropolitan journals with
two or three exceptions. Why this
chilling contrast between 1852 and
1856! What has produced it, How
are we to account for it? 1t is not
very remarkable that a man so OBJ
scure as Franklin Pierce was in '52
should have been hailed with such
enthusiasm, while in SO the selection
by the democracy of one Of their best
known, most experienced and respect
able statesman should be received here
with such extraordinary evidences OF
GOODNESS and distrust!
The solution ofthis mystery is very
simple. In 1852 public opinion look
ed with hope to the democratic party
as break-water against the seditious
schemes Of the anti-slavcry agitators
Of the North. On the contrary, in
1856 the democratic party, as de-
bauched and demoralized by the Grim
inal follies, plumbers and imbecilities
of this Pierce administration, has lost
the confidence Of the majority Of our
thinking and Independent men. This
accounts for the comparative GOODNESS
and distrust with which the nomina
ton of Mr.. Buchanan has been receiv.
ed by the newspaper press of this me-
tropolis.

SATURDAY, JUNE 28TH, 1856.
People are Judged by the Com
pany they Keep.

The old Freesoil Democrats are
coming in to the support of Mr.. Buch-
anan by scores. They deem him quite
acceptable to them, and regard his
frcesoi sentiments, expressed on the
Texan question in 1914, as entirely
consonant with their own. That he is
a regular frcesoilcr there can be no
doubt. What, then, will be the effect
Of the additional strength given to him
by the aid Of these old Freesoil Demo
Gratis? Will it drive Southern men
from the party, or will they cooperate
with this corrupted power? The re-
suit must be, if there is any patriot
ism in the South, that all conservative
men must abandon his support, so soon
as the truth is made known to them.
From the partizans we expect moth
ing but party opposition. They will
go for Mr.. Buchanan because he is
the nominee Of the party: and let
them he closely observed and #
will appear that they sanction what
ever their party does. We can excuse
q man when he defends his countrv
RIGHT or wrong: but when that prin-
ciple attaches to party zeal it becomes

that the true States Piohts men Of the

Is it not a little singular that the
Sag-Nichts of Tennessee should make
so great hullabulloo over the nomi-
nation of Mr.. Buchanan over Pierce
and Douglass, when the entire delega-
ton from the State steadily voted first
for Pierce and then for Douglass,
throughout fifteen balltotings, and on
ly came to the support of the nominee
after he was nominated by the other
States? It's all right, though we sup
pose; and Buchanan is now, was then,

is beaten, and then they will swear
they knew he couldn't win. And in

The Safe Of the steamer Atlantic Rai,ea

A submarine diver from Buffalo has at
last succeeded in raising the safe of the
American Ex press Company, which was
lost when tie steamer Atlantic was sunk
off Long Point in 1852. 1t will be recol-
lected that this stea mer was Instantly
sunk by collision with propeller, and
that large number Of passengers was
lost. The diver was protected by copper
armor, and was under water forty minutes,
during which time he had sUme strange
adventures. The upper deck Of the stea.
mer lies one hundred and sixty feet un-
der water, and far below where there is
any current of motion. Everything is
therefore exactly as it first went down.
When the diver alighed upon the Deck,
he was saluled by beautiful lady, whose
clothing was well arranged, and her hair
elegantly dressed. As he approached her
the motion Of the water caused an oscilla-
ton of her head, as if gracefully bowling
to him. She was standing erect, with
one hand grasping the rigging. Around
lay the bodies of several Others as iG slee.
ping. Children holding their friends BY
the hand, and mothers with their babes in
their arms were there. In the cabin the
furniture was still untouched BY decay,
and to all appearance had just been ar
ranged BY some careful and tasteful hand.
In the Office he found the safe, and was
enabled 10 move it with ease, and took it
upon deck, where The graphing irons were
fastened on, and the prize brought safely
to the light. Upon opening the safe, it
displayed its contents in perfect state of
preservation. There was in the safe g..
600 in gold, SO, 500 in bills of the Gov
eminent Stale Stock Bank, and a large
amount of bills, on other Banks, amour,
ting in all to about $4,000. The pa
pers were uninjured, except that they
smelt very strongly of decayed human
bodies, as if th'y had laid so many years
in coffin with their owner. Of course,

ested in this wonderful adventure. De

The Douglas. Buchanan Platform.

The New York News, the organ Of

ofSiephen A. Douglas, delivered in that
city last night, Here is an extract from

"Why is it that the South has dared to

mind the answer is plain. The North is
not united for freedom as the South is for
slavery. We are split into factions, we
get up pitlul and paltry side issues and
quarrel with and abuse each other, and
the slave power, as a matter of course,
takes advantage Of our folly. That evil
power is only strong through dissensions.
