"The democracy have carried the State of Penn

purposes" There is no a urish Of t-umpets-and
the Fremonttrs & Co. appear and behave as though

out of the conflict, left in front. This result will
have the hsppest possible effect ION the 4th prox.

much regard for the temperament Of her dear cou-
sins in these democratic diggings.
The United. States Frigate "Merrimsc' was at
Southampton when the 'Persia" left interchang-

The little United States steamer sArctic," Capt

the depths Of the Atlantic Ocean all the way
across from st. Johns, N. F. to Vslentia Harbor

There is another arrival from Aspinwall bringing
another batch of misrepresentation of Gen. Wal.
ker's position and prospects in Nicaragua. The
object which the rival transit company has in cir
culsting these fasehoods is to prevent emigration
to Nicaragua and to prevent also passengers for
California from choosing that route. The STexas,
now hourly expected from San Juan del Norte,
will bring US reliable information. Ths fact is
that Gen. Walker was never in better position
bis prospects of early and complete success were
never brighter than at this moment.

propositions of the North American State Central
