OSE or THE SHANGHMs.-Coyer Of the
Grant Co Heroid, has been writing an Ode
to the Shanghais.' The following is the first

be able to bear at once
Feather,d giraffe? Who lent you wings
Who furnished you those legs?

NATuRE-Wc know not thcauthor Of the
following, but it is one Of the most beautiful
productions we have ever read:
Nature will be reported All things are
engaged in writing their own history The
planet and the pebble goes attended by its
shadow The rolling rock eayesits scratches
on the mountain side; the river its channels
in the sell; the animal, its bones in the
stratum; the fern leaf, its modest epitaph in
the coal. The falling drop makes its sepul-
chre in the sand or stone; not foot steps
into or along the ground, but prints in
characters more or less lasting, a map Of its
march; every act Of the man inscribeS Itself
on the memories of its fellows, and in his
own face The air is full Of sounds-the sky
Of tokens; the ground is all memoranda aud
signatures, and every object is covered over
with hints that .peak to the intelligent

LIE DISTANCE OF THE Sun FROM THE EARTH

Democratic Inconsistency.


The Soft Shell Democrats of New York
have been lately illustrating the inconsistency
for which the Democracy are becoming
noted. The State Convention of Soft Shells
recently held in that State, put forth a series
ofresolutions and an address quite Nationals
on the subject of Slavery, and denouncing the
"Black Republicans in tones of commenda-
BILE indignation. And yet, almost before the
ink was dry on the resolutions, these same
Democrats entered into coalition with the
Republicans, and divided with them the offices
of the House of the New York Assembly
Could any other but the Democratic party
be guilty of such shameless inconsistency as
this and not sink beneath the whitening scorn
of public opinion? And yet this same wing
of this same party, had only four months pre-
viously adopted in Convention strong anti
Slavery resolutions! In September they adopt
ed anti-Slavery resolutions-in the following
January they adopted just as strong pro-
slavery resolutions! In 1853, this wing of the
Democratic party, known and noted for their
free soil principles, received the patronage of
the Pierce Administration-flled offices from
which National Democrats were turned to
give these Free Sellers room-in 1865 the same
Administration, which was before so earnestly
and shamelessly counting up the Free Soil
vote, was found cringng and fawning at the
feet of the South, and this Free Soil party,
throwing aside its old black colors, standing
arrayed under the National flag, just as warm
an admirer Of the South as Pierce himself
Is it any wonder that the Democratic" party
is becoming a bye-word, prcyerb for incon-
sistency? 1t has always been singular fact
in politics, that this party might be guilty Of
national and local inconsistencies which would
annihilate any other party that ever had an
existence in the country, and yet Democracy
should live and flourish on the political poison
that no others dare use.
But we think this time is passing. 1t seems
to us the people are at last opening their eyes
to the hideous deformities of the Democratic
party, and they are no longer inclined to for
give that in this party, for which any other
would be held to rigid accountability. Look
at the inconsistencies of the Old Line party in
this State on almost every question which has
agitated the popular mind-the Slavery ques-
ton. the Bank question, the Temperance ques-
ton, the popular sovereignty principle, &c,
&c. The people have not forgotten these
things, and they will prove it before the year
1856 draws to close. Such rotten dema-
gogueism as has controlled the Old Line party
here for may years, cannot much longer exist.
This year is already marking its death strug-
giles.

Miller; for Treasurer, j. w. Canaan; for Clerk,

0ETThe Rev. Antoinette L. Brown, of New
York, was married on the goth inst, to Sam'I
G. Blackwell, notorious abolitionist Of Gin
cinnati. The Cincinnati Gazette remarks:
Under our marriage head to-day Will be
found that of this distinguished advocate of
Woman's Rights. This is another indication
that the anti-slavery excitement is rapidly alb
sorbing all the isms of the day. The great
leader in the cause of Woman's rights not long
since signed articles of capituation to a direc-
tor in the underground railway, and the Rev.
Antoinette has just made an unconditional
surrender to another.
Now that the thing is done, the public Won
der whether the Rev. Antoinette will regard
it as her duty to leave her church, or trans
plant her husband. She was, personally, the
most attractive of women's rights men. Her
full, round form, her large, languid eyes, her
sweet voice and her womanly appearance rem
dered such step quite probable. But q short
time since when ayoung lady ofthe same name
yielded to her destiny, the Rev. Miss took
pains to publish far and wide that it was not
she who had been guilty of such folly. She
was as Jealous then as Saul, but as she jour
neyed to Cincinnoti, breathing out threaten
ings and slaughter against the men, suddenly
there shined round about her light from
Heaven and she fell

GONE FROM AMONG Us.-Mr. Theodore
Deistch, for a long time editor and publisher of
the German Daily Reform, Of this city, has
retired from that paper. He started yester-
day for Cincinnati, to unite himself to the edi-
torial corps of the Daily Volksblatte, an old
German paper Of large circulation. We wish
Mr.. D. great success. In his own language he
is ready and forcible writer, and his pen will
no doubt be valuable aid to the paper with
which he is about to connect himself. We

D. but our editorial relations have been gene
rally pleasant. We understand the Reform
will continue but under new control

SIR: In your paper of February 4th, there
was an article signed Incog, accusing me of
trying to force the City Council to buy the
Washington Fire Engine, so that could get
the repairs of said engine, The above is ma
licious falsehood, as my aim is for the city's
good, for any man of common sense knows
that there is no fortune in repairing fire en-
gines. would not have repaired the Young
America or Washington fire engines, if I had
