we suppose that nobody entertains any great re-.
spectfor the New Yofk Herald, or believes that the
paper is conducted with any special regard for prin-
cipe And vel. journal, in this country or abroad
Is under shrewder managemcnt-no men watch tho
current of public sentiment more closely, or as a
general thing, judge more correctly as to probable
results in the political world. Promising these re-
marks, we copy from the Herald:
Many of our hopeful democratic citizens az
feet to believe that there will hardly be
fght-Mr. BUCHANAN, with scarcely show Of
resistance, will walk over the course. We
have only to say, looking calmly over the whole
field, that for all such as entertain the belief
that there will be no struggle, the doors Of some
uhatic asylum had better be opened at once
We have no doubt of the fact that q vast ma
jority of the American people, in the present
distracted condition of the country, are opposed
to the Democratic party, as dcbauched and de-
moralzed under the malgn influence Of this
PIERCE. Administration and we believe that
there would still exist a majority of the Amer
lean people opposed to the ratification Of the
debaucheries of this corrupted party, even if
they should nominate as their representative,
an angel from Heaven. This is our conviction
and our belief. Grant, that as an honest man
and statesman, MIR. Buchanan is fair nom
nation, and that he is UNNECESSARILY superior
to men of such small ealibre and paltry expo
dents as PIERCE and his FoRNEY Kitchen
Cabinet, the impressive evidences are yet all
around u.s. of an impending revolution, Louis,
the XVI. was an auable, respectable and
worthy man, and sincerely labored for the good
of his people yet in the terrible storm raised
by his imbecite and corrupt predecessors, he
Was swept away We anticipate nothing SO
frightful in this enlightened day yet we say
that PIERCE has raised storm which even b.
cHANAN cannot poremptoriy command to no
still. 1t is drifting TO great popular rcyolu-
ton. We shall have a reroluton-wc must
have revolution for Il sweeping revolution is
as necessary at tines to purity the political at
mosphere as is Summer thunder gust to clear

Town Meeting.

Tho meeting on Monday afternoon. warned for the
purpose of repeating the law to restrain cattle from
running at large, was well attendcd-both parties
having taken some pains to gather their forces for the
occasion. After some pteous tales of suffering were
related by catte-owners and garden. owners a vote
on the repeal of the law was taken and resulted In
leaving the matter just as it stood
Some conversions were made to the justice of the
law, and we believe those who were instrumental i'm
calling the meeting are now determined to see that
our streets are kept clear of cattle Their good res
oluton was acted ON at once and the last We saw of
the matter was a drove of cattle driven BY willing
hands and healed for the pound

THE AMERICAN CANELsIN Use. -Thirty-tv

THE AMERICAN CANErs IN Use. Thirty two
camcls from Smyrna, in the United States store
ship Suppl, together with two born on the pas
sage, were safely landed on May ID, at indi-
anola, in Texas, and have since been put in use,
to some extent in carrying G Government stores, to
the great terror of the horses aud mules, and
the equal delight of wonder seekers, in that Vi
cuty. Most of them havo she'd their hair on
the voyage, and are more or less perfectly ma
ked, but are represented as in perfect health
and spirits, The dromedarics, nine in number,
are designed for express and the camels for
slow freight trains across the great dry and
readiess lrairies and plain of the Southwest
They arc accompanied by two Turks and three
Arabs, and can carry lends on walk as fast
as an ordinary bad horse can trot. The expert
ment, so far, has been very successful, and it
will probably soon be Indicated whether these
oriental monsters can be made Of any material
Service on this continent.

EDITORIAL CoMrIINENrs-Prentice of the

The editor, as we see, misrepresents and lies

and property. He is as great curse to Louis
vile as God, in the mysterious dispensation of

OuR PREsIDENr.-The career of President
Pierce is reviewed by tho Providence Journal,
and we do not think that Democrats will deny
the truth Of the following extract No man
. ever came into power under more favorable cir
cumstances than Gen Pierce. On the top
most wave of popular favor he was borne to the
highest place in the nation. He had every
motive that could actnate patriotic man to
be the President of the country, and not Of a
party, and TO administer the government on the
highest principles for the public good. lie has
taken every step, from his inaugural to his re-
lection at Cincinnati, for his own reelection
For this he has changed his own settled policy,
and reversed the deliberate judgment which he
had taken and announced in foreign affairs
For this no has falsifed the promises which he
made in his inaugural, and has lighted the torch
Of discori, perhaps Of civil war. For this he
has trampled upon the rights Of popular sover-
eighty, and given the unofiending people of Kan
sas up to robbery, aud to every outrage that
an irresponsible band of marauders could inilict.
And he has met his reward. Rejected by the
men whose instrument he became, failing at
last, even Of the miserable support of the men
who were bound to him by no other tie than
the hope of obtaining Office at his hands, and
who FASTENED to range themselves under the
stronger banner of his rival he falls unhonorcd
and uhpitied, from a place which he might have
left with respect and dignity, or perhaps even
retained with the general appreciation Of his
eountrymen. Had he been inspired only with
IN honorable ambition, and sought to retain
his great Office by commencing himself to the
patriotism and good sense of his countrymen );
had be returned their generous confidence by
magnanimous devotion to their highest inter
ests. he would have secured their respect, even
If he failed TO receive second time their sut-
frages. He has lost both and he goes out of
Office, his last days Of power embttercd by
the Illuminating and unavailing efforts which he
made to retain it.
