The gentleman from PENNSYLVANIA IMr.
Campbell says that the Democratic party
came into this Hall two years ago upon the
crested wave of popular power; and he asks
where is it now? He says it is a feeble and
scanty band, clinging to its broken altars.
Why feeble and scantyl Because it has
been much more friendly to the South aud
truer to the Constitution than either of the
other parties. Clinging, says the gentleman,
to its broken altas! Why, sir, to what else
should it. cling While abolition fanaticism
is sweeping over the free States, prostrating
the guarantees OF the Constitution, and
tearing down the remaining pillars of our
Republican ediice where should the Demo
cratic party be but within the sacred pre-
cincts, fighting down the foe? While the
lust of Northern domination and Free Soil
propagandism is driving the chariot OF sec
tional power over the remains Of the Con-
stitution, to what should the Democratic
party cling but to those affairs reared by the
founders of the Republic? If it be true to
the Constitution, and steadfast in the faith
of the fathers, let it bind itself to the horns
of the altar; and as the angel descended to
rescue the son of the patriarch even from
the uplitted knife, SO may the genius Of the
land stoop down to rescue it from the
cleaning dagger Of the Fusion cohorts

SOMETHING FOR NOTHING.

a know-Nothing Congress has now been
in session nearly six weeks, and during that
time there have been in the House of Repre-
sentatiyes over one hundred ballotings for
Speaker. The expense to the country has
been three thousand dollars a day and at
this rate the organization of the House has
cost the Government about $3.50, 900, enough
money to found "a University, to fill the
mouths of one hundred and thirty thousand
destitute widows and orphans, and to defray
the expenses of thousand missionary yes
sells to heathendom. And what value has
the government received for this vast outlay?

The NATIONAL CONvENTION.-TheN Ma
tional Convention of 1852 adopted the fol-
lowing resolution as the number of delegates
to be chosen
"ReSoLred, That, in constituting future
national conventions of the democratic par
ty, in order to secure the respective rights
of the States TO their relative representation
in such conventions, each State shall be en-
titled to twice the number of delegates that
it has votes in the electoral college, and no
more and that the Democratic National
Committee, in making arrangements for the
next National Convention, provide such
number of seats therein for each State, and
secure tho same to the delegates elcct."-
the convention will meet on the 1st Mon
day in June next, at Cincinnati.

The MEsSAGE.-We intended writing n
comment upon the Presidents Message, but
we just happened to think of the Western
editor, who upon receiving a copy of Shak
spear, proceeded very formally to write
notice of the work, and give it as his dccid-
ed opinoin that the plays were well written.
and that Mr.. Shakespeare was man Of tai
ent. We thought that if we were to write
an article cemmendatOry of one of the best
messages that ever emanated from the White
House, We should place ourself along side
of the Western editor, aforesaid. So we
have determined not to say word about
the message.-[ Rockingham (Ta.l Regis

KNow-NoTH1Na TROUBLES.

The nomination of Hon. John M. Bolts
for the Presidency, (Which we stated last
week as having been made by the X. N.
Councils of Brooklyn) has been endorsed, it
seems, by the X. N. Councils of Richmond,
Va. But the Richmond Wing, one of the
X. N. organs, is sorely displeased with the
nomination and pitches into Mr.. Bolts in
very unenviable manner. The Wing as
serts, among other things, that "a majority
of the American voters of Richmond have
no confidence in Mr.. Bolts and declares
that,
"As for ourselves, we say in all delborn-
ton and candOr that we hold the rights of
the South paramount to every consideration
of party and that before we would yield
one jot or title of them to the unjust demands
of the North, even for the sake of the Pre-
sidency, with all its honors and patronage,
we would see John Minor Bolts, his tails,
and every party on the face of the earth,
sunk so deep that the hand of resurrection
could never reach them"
This is plain language, and the only in
ference which we can draw from the Whig's
confession is that the Richmond Know
Nothings who sustain Mr.. Bolts, are willing
to sacrifice the rights Of the South, or somo
portion of them at least, for the sake of Sc
curing the election of that gentleman to the
Presidency. Is this so! 1t is family
quarrel, however, and we don't care which
whips.

DAILY DUTIES.

Our daily paths with thorns or flowers
We can at will bestrew them;
What bliss would gid the passing hours
If we but rightly knew them.
The way of life is rough at best,
But briars yield the roses,
So that which leads to JOY and rest,
The hardest path discloses.
The weeds that oft we cast away,
Their simple beauty scOrning,
Would form wreath with purest ray,
And prove the best adorning.
So, in our daily paths, 'twere well
To call each gift treasure,
However slight, where love can dwell
With lif,'-renewing pleasure

WORK FOR WALKER.-Carrera has left
against Nicaragua. General Lopez, of Hon
duras, has directed troops to the same des-
tination- In the State of Salvador, soldiers
are being rapidly enlisted, in order to aid
the inhabitants of Nicaragua. In Costa
Rica the government has also made an ap-
peal to the population to aid Nicaragua a.
gainst Walker. 1t appears from these
manifestations that Walker has yet some
thing to do before he can sit down and enjoy
his filibuster laurels.

THE OREGON WAR.-The Indian news
from Oregon, brought by the steamer
Northern Light, is quite startling. The
volunteers have come out second best in all
their engagements. Captain Bennett, in q
pitched battle near Walla Walla was killed !;
also several soldiers. On the 9TH December,
Lieutenant Slaughter, of the army, and
three of his men, were shot dead, and five
more wounded, by fire from the bushes
while in the act of kindling their camp fire.
Lieut.. Slaughter was an efficient officer, and
at the time he fell, was rendering valuable
services to his country. Gen. Wool will
take the field as soon as he can concentrate
a sufficient force, obtain the necessary sup
plies for his troops, and the weather will
permit of successful campaign.

CENTRAL AMERICA.

The diplomatic difficulty that exists be-
tween the governments of Great Britain and
our own, in relation to the Clayton Bulwer
treaty and the movements of the celebrated
''filibuster," Gen. Walker, must for time
give considerable prominence to the affairs
of Central America. The diplomatic difficult
ty referred to is of q serious nature, and if
the debate that occurred in the Senate ON
that part of the Presidents Message in which
the matter is treated may be taken as fair
exponent of the popular feeling in this conn
try, the question must soon be brought to
direct issue.
Central America is also becoming point
of interest, by reason also of the operations
of the filibusters. We are eminently a pro-
gressive people, extremely fond of making
States. To gather in a million or two of
acres, strip them of their forests and improve
them with farms, towns and even cities,
which shall embrace population sufficient
to entitle them to an admission in the Union,
as a sovereign State, is often with our peo-
pie the work of very short time. All this
has been accomplished within the brief pc
rod of single decade. State making has
always been driving business with us.
Gen. Walker evidently designs to con-
solidate the five States of Central America
into one, and thus give birth to another A
merican Republic. According to the recent
work of Mr.. Squires, the area of Central
America contains 154 900 square miles-an
extent of territory about equal to that of
New England and the Middle States COM
bined. The population is two millions,
which is divided among the five States as
follows Guatemala, 10000; San Saliva
dor 394, 900; Honduras 100000: Nicaragua
100000 and Costa Rica $4,000. Such
confederation would make quite q respecta-
BILE empire, at least for filibuster. Ofthe
entire population, however, only one hun
dred thousand are whites. Of the remain
der one million are pure Indians; eight
hundred thousand of mixed blood, and about
ten thousand negroes. The climate is said
to be good, though diversified; the produc-
tiOns and mineral resources of the country
are highly spoken of and the chances of
immense Development under the infusion
of Yankee enterprise could not be better
Walkers sphere of operations is at present
confined 10 the single stotn of Ni~apos-a,
which of Itself Is equal i'll extent of Terrific
ry to the State of New York. Recent ad-
vices, however, indicated that he is gaining
ground i'll two, if not three of the other
States, influential parties favorable to his
project having been organized in those
States. 1t is not supposed that he will at
tempt the immediate military subversion of
any of the States, but III the event of Hon
duras and San Salvador forming, as is anti
cipated, voluntary alliance with his Gov
ernment, Guatemala could hardly refuse to
consolidate, while as to Costa Rica, in view
of its national resources, it may be conjec-
tured that the result would be inevitable

ANOTHER DREADFUL RAILROAD ACCI-
DENT.-The express train from Albany, n.
York, stopped just below Poughkeepsie, on
the 9th instant, on account of defect in the
track, when it was run into with great force
by another train from Poughkeepsie, bound
in the same direction. Two cars of the
former train were demolished and three per-
sons killed-a Mrs. Green, of Utica, and a
young man and woman, names unknown
Twenty two persons were more or less in
iured, several of whom were not expected to
recover.

DIsAsTER.--Saturday night, about {
o'clock, the spacious Danville Railroad De-
pot in Richmond, Va, fell with q great
nrnzL e +Ie es-o>>>,1, perfect wreck. The
immediate cause was the vast weight OF
snow.
The depot was 225 feet long on the west
side, 2I0 feet on the east side, and 1872 feet
wide, and being covered in by one roof,
supported only by small iron rods, present
ed a wide surface for the falling snow, which
had accumulated to a depth of several inch
es before the accident occurred Forum
ately no one was in the building at the time,
and no lives were, therefore, lost. This de-
pot was erected at cost of $4,000 to the
company, about two years since, and was
one of the largest in the South. The Dis
patch says it is impossible to estimate the
loss to the company, and to the merchants
and farmers who had freight in the depot,
but we fear it will fall but little short of
S5O,000, as there were in the building, at
the time of the occurrence, some $4,000
bushels of wheat, besides hogsheads and
cases of tobacco, lots of guano and merohan-
die of almost every character. There were
also two or three freight cars crushed by the
falling timbers, and one of them literally
ground into fragments.

SERIOUS RAILROAD ACCIDENT.-On Sat-
urday evening last, 11th instant, very Sc
rious collision took place on the Danville
Railroad, in which some lives were lost.
1t seems that both the up train and down
train were few hours behind time, and the
conductors of each fancied the other was
waiting somewhere on the line to pass. 1t
was showing hard and both trains going at
the rate of 80 miles an hour, when they ran
into each other about II miles from the
junction. 1t was a fearful smash, and the
killed and wounded are many in proportion
to the number trav cling at that time.-Soutt
