 STILL ANoTHER!-A correspondent of the Washington Union thus chronicles the progress of the democracy in Alabama, and the accession of an old line whig:-
 "Col. Yancey, elector at large for the state on our ticket, has just returned from a tour into western Alabama. He assured me that during his whole political campaigning he never did witness such unanimty among the people our own party true as steel, and large aces- sions of old line whigs. At Tuscaloosa, where he spoke, he was succeeded by the distinguish ed Judge Ormond, for so many years an or nament to our supreme court bench. He had always been a whig--a decided, unswerving whig, after the strictest sect-but in the present crisis he felt it imperative to talk and vote for James Buchanan. His remarks will bear ex- tensive publication"
 And that's the story everywhere! A parcel of drift wood has gone, but "our own party" is as true as steel, and the flower of the whig party takes the place of the drift wood.

HE HANDWRITING ON THE WALL.-The dinner which the Sultan gave to the allied com manders, at Constantinope, was a very grand affair. Marshal ?elissier was present, but Gen. Codrington was not. He arrived from the Crimea too late to be entertained. During the dinner terrific thunder storm arose, which broke the windows of the dining room, and si- fenced the music. The supersitous Turks who were present drew the. most melancholy conclusions from this augury. "It suggested to many" says one of the accounts, the idea of Belshazzars feast, and the handwriting on the wall

or The following articles we have transla- ted from the New York Staats Zeitung the leading German paper of that city:
 "THE BLACK REPUBLICANS HAVE MONEY. It is we'll known and established fact here that black republican agents are securing every part of this State for the purpose of buying up every foreign paper that their money can reach.
 "They (says the Volks Blatt the democra- tic organ at Indianapolis) have offered the edi- tor of this paper one thousand dollars to SUD- port Fremont. Similar attempts we learn from the Volks Blatt of Racine, Wisconsin, and a Holland paper in Michigan, have been made to purchase their support"
 And we, says the New York Staats Zetung, have been offered three thousand dollars to SUD- port Fremont The Staats Zeitung, continues:
 "True, we are poor. but the black repubi- cans have not enough money to buy us. We shall continue as heretofore to serve the great cause of national democracy"
 We, says the same paper, are satisfied that the German papers serving Fremont are hire- lings, who in utter disregard of all right, have sold their birth right for mess of pottage.'

The Black Republicans Begin to Fear they
 are Going Down Hill.

are Going Down Hill.
 The leading paper of the black republican party of New York, the Morning Courier and Enquirer, in loug and beseeching article, seemingly addressed to its black republican CO., temporaries, confesses that Mr. Buchanan will get in the south one hundred and twenty elec- toral votes; that he will, also, certainly get Ca lifornia; and that it is only necessary to give him the twenty-seven electoral votes of the ho- nest old free State of Pennsylvania, and he is the next President of the United States"
 Pennsylvania, says the Union, will insure her vote for her native and favorte son by twenty thousand majority. The black repub- lcans may we'll fear that they are running down hill. few more weeks, and we shall see where the revolutionary blows struck by the black republicans against the constitution and the Union will place their party. Pennsylvania is truly an honest'' and patriotic State. She is proud of the name she bears amongst her sis ter States. She is the keystone that will assist to save the Union in this contest by such tr- umphant vote for Buchanan on the 4th of No- vember that black republicanism will forever hide its diminished head. If ever known again, it will be unGer some other name and some other leader.
