One of the most noticeable and tasteful
features in the Grand Procession on Sat
urday, was the Ship Union, freighted
with its cargo of beauty, and bedecked
with banners. This affair was gotten up
by the Americans of the Sixth Ward and
does credit to their taste and liberality.
The team was driven by our old friend
Alley.

The Gospel according to Gov. Jones |!

The following extracts are taken from
speech made by Gov Jones in Philadel-
phia, Pa. on the 18th of June, 1S4S. We
commend them to the attention of Wings
and Democrats:
81 have noticed, with deep solicitude, the
progress of this LOcofoc0ism- many
years. have seen this Progressive Demo
cracy-yes, sir, it is progressive, and its pros
gress is always towards ruin; going on, step
by step, under the name of manifest desti-
n.y." though they would impiOusly invoke. the
aid of God himself to carry them to ruin
leading them downward, and still downward,
towards the tiadL ruin and dishonOr Of our
country! What are ,o6 to hope from this mo-
dern Democracy? What have freemen and
the rights of man to hope from in Have we
not seen it perpetrate outrage upon outrage
upon tie interests of the country2 Nay, sir,
have we not seen 0cOf0c0iSm under the holy
names of liberty aud democracy, trdmple the
sacred Constitution under its UNHALLOWED
feet? and all this in the name of Democracy,
and to secure the interests of the dear people
The dear people! They have that sounding
eternally upon their lips, while hatred turks
in their hearts"
Again:
at good can come to the country, shall
rejoice as much as any, but if evil shall come,
] can only comfort myself by saying, it was
the best thing | could do, for nothing ao0rs6
could be done than to join the ranks Of the L0-
eof0cs?"
And, once more, hear him:
"But, sir, suppose all these (the principles
of tho NJ hiu nartvl vUa m
solitary doctrine, still, sir, permit me to say,
there is an impossible guLf betoeen the Wig
and Democratic parties. say, sir, strike out
all the doctrines of the Wing psrty-strike
out the Tariff, and insert in its place the de-
structive doctrine of Free Trade-strike out
the National Currency and institute in its
place the Sub-Treasury-sti the gulf re-
mGinS!"
And still again:
"Where shall go9 What position shall l
take? Under what banner shall | fight? In
looking over this vast country of ours-in l. Ok
ing to its wants-to its interests-to its hopes
and to its final destiny, can arrive at bat
one conclusion. have Fought have resis-
ted from my earliest existence down to this
good hour, the dark popers Of L0cofocoism.
| regard Democracy in its true, leqi-
innate sense, as worthy the confidence of the
American people; but when you bring up that
lying, double dealing, spurious democracy, mo-
dern L0cgoc0iSns, utterly abhOr and REPUDI
ATE it.n
Wings of Davidson: Above you have
the recorded opinions of James c.. Jones
of the Democratic party. He says now he
does not retract one word of it; still he has
been here and babe You go with him into
the support of party whose principles he
believes will end in the Final ruin and dis
honor of our country" Are you, who
would not brook the dictatiOn of the Lion
of the Hermitage, prepared to yield to the
dictatiOn of the Ass in the lions skin?

A company has been formed in England
which has engaged to finish the submarine
line between Newfoundland and Ireland,
aud have it in full operation before Janu-
ary, 1858. A new cable has been prepared
to run between Cape Race and the main

prevents it.
There are already lines extending from
London to Sebastopol, soon, it is expected,
to be carried to Corsica, Sardinia, into
Africa, thence through Asia, so that when
the submarine line between this country
and England is laid, direct communication

of the Caribbean Sea, the Mosquito Terri
tory forming a large share of its eastern
boundary. Honduras borders it on the
north, and Costa Rica upon the south. It's
area is about forty-nine- thousand square
miles, and the population is estimated at
two hundred and forty-seven thousand
The females are said to greatly exceed the
males in number. Not more than twenty
thousand of the people are whites, the rest
being negroes, Indians and mixed races.
Most of the population live in towns, many
Of them going several miles daily to labor
in the fields The plantations are scatter
ed pretty equally oyer the country, and
are reached by paths so obscure as to
almost escape the notice of travellers, who
are thus liable to fall into the error that
the country is almost unnhabited The
dwellings Of the people are usually of canes,
thatched with palm although the better
classes construct their residences of adobes,
and by the help of fruit and shade trees,
planted in the courtyard, render many Of
them exceedingly pleasant. A range Of
mountains extend along the coast of the
State, at distance Of few miles from the
sea, but attaining no great elevation, until
they approach the confines of Costa Rica,
when they reach the height Of five to eleven
thousand feet. In the central part of the
State is an immense level tract, known as
the plains Of Nicaragua, comprising in its
area the lake Of that name. Numerous
volcanoes exist along the Pacific coast.
There are n considerable number of rivers
but none of them, except the San Juan,
are navigable in a commercial sense
Veins of copper and silver ore Of exceeding
richness are found in many parts, but they
remain, almost all Of them, either unex-
plored or only specifically worked Gold,
also, is said to exist The climate is healthy,
though various. In the interior and noun
famous parts, the temperature is more dry
and cool than on the coast, where it is hot
and approaching to humid The greater
portion of the State consists of plains and
gentle slopes formed of rich black loan,
of which but small portion is made availa-
ble. The productions are indigo, sugar,
coffee, cotton Of superior quality, corn,
rice, wheat, &c, besides oranges, lemons,
and fruits Of various kinds. The great bane
has been in civil wars, and it was one of
these which enabled Col. Walker to achieve
his almost bloodless conquest
