IN THE Sacramento Union of the
o6th appears another communication
from can uuwavcring democrat"
This time he fires into the distin-
guished ex-senator DIR. Gwin, and, in
his own estimation, has destroyed the
few chances that the Doctor had of
q reelection. The impudcnce and
sclf-inhation displayed by this sun
wavering democrat" are disgusting to
all sensible men, and the adroit man
nor in which the humbugging old
Union vouches for his character and
standing as Democrat, is worthy
the attention of those who would
become proficient in political decep-
ton, and still maintain character
for morality and candor. The Union
says:
"For The benefit Of those who have so intmated,
wewiIl say that IAN unwavering Democrat" is not
a candidate for United States Scnator-has never
been ma ned in connection ihcrewith.-is what he
represents himself TO be san unwayering Democrat"
who never split his tickst--and who never, on any
occasion, peddled bogus democratic tickets on olec-
tion day.
A very neatly worded denial, in
deed. "Never split his ticket" AT
ter having ''his ticket" printed to or
der, with names from each party up
on it, he could never consistently
consider himself ''unwavcring," if he
should afterwards "split his ticket"
The Union is clever-dem clever
and so is its correspondent, but they
will not deceive Democrats into be-
lieying them honest in what they
may say concerning the election of
Democratic Senators. They may be
sharp as the shears they use, but
they cannot cut out Senators for the
democratic party to elect. "Never
pedllcd bogus democratic tickets on
election day." Well, a man could
not effect much peddling tickets on

Chicago.

A correspondent who visited Chicago, few
days since, thus gives his impressions
II don't think was ever more surprised in my
life than in observing the prosperity of Chicago
the rapid increase of population, the advance in
wealth, and the immense number of magnificent
stores and residences in process of erection. The
streets are absolutely filed with stone and lumber
and other building materials, and everything bears
an appearance of prosperity and magnificent enter
prise / was told that no less than three thou
sand seven hundred buildings are being built at
this time, and can readily believe It for on one
short street | counted eighteen or nineteen i'm
mense five-storied stores going up, fitted for mar
BILE, stone, or iron fronts
Everybody is making money, and rents are
prodigious. Stores that would rent in Buffalo for
800 would readily bring $1,000 here, with bus-
ness In proportion"

ANOTHER HERBERT AFFAIR.--A few days ago,
when the guests at the City Hotel, ST. Louis, were
SEATED at dinner, DR.. McElhaney, boarder at the
no, use, threw tumbler at one of the walters,
wher >upon all the others rushed upon him, and il
was With difficulty that he was rescued from their
hands. Uis head was, IL is said, cut in several
places. II seems that deeming the time he was
made to wait too long, he took the tumbler of wa.
ter that was brought to him, and threw it at the
walters head, whereupon the difficulty ensued.
Both parties were ARRESTED.

CITY INTELLIGENCE.

FREscH 8. EVANS AT YoRK.--The York cores
pondent Of the Baltimore Patriot thus refers TO Mr.
Eyans's recent speech in that town:
Mr.. French s. Evans, of Washington, ID. c.,
then came forward and entered into an able de-
fence Of American principles. He spoke. with elo-
quence and earnestness OF the principles which he
defended. He was going to stand by them to the
last. He rebuked the national administration, and
showed that the prescription they would charge
upon the American party they were guilty of
themselves. In Washington city, he said, Ameri-
cans were discharged by the government upon the
bare suspicion that they belonged to the American
party, and their places filed by Foreigners He
spoke at considerable length, and fearing that he
might fatigue his hearers as it was growing late,
he would retire but universal cry from hundreds
OF lips bade him Go on, go on speak all night !"
Ii is impossible for me to give your readers more
than synopsis of what he uttered. To be appre-
ciated he must be heard. He swayed that vast
assemblage to and fro, with the powers OF his elo-
quence to such an extent that verify believe they
would have listened to him all night, If he could
have mustered strength enough to speak that
length OF time.
Hundreds of old-line Wings joined in the shout
for the Union and the Constitution, Liberty and
Equal Rights In this same square Congress once
sat, and when the speaker alluded to the fact and
said he would again baptize 1t, and invoked the
spirits of 1778 to look down upon US, there went
up shout that made the welkin ring.
At the conclusion of his remarks the meeting
adjourned, with three cheers for Fillmore and DON
elson, and three times three for the Union and the
Constitution.
ACCIDENTAL two p. NJ, yesterday, as a four
mule team, belonging to Jackson Co. were pass
ing along the Canal near the Tenth street bridge,
one of the mules, on which the driver was riding
reared up and fell over. The driver was thrown
of, and fell partly under the mule, and while on
the ground one OF the fore wheels of the wagon
passed over his back. He was soon extricated
and DR.. Borrows being sent for, he was taken
home, being seriously injured.

No u. 5. Consul Shot.

We understand, says the New York Express,
that Mr.. Livingston, shot by the Rivas party, in
Leon, was not U. s. Consul, but, on the contrary
an American citizen, who had mixed himself up
with Walkers affairs, and by becoming his parti-
zan, had thus SO subjected himself to retalia-
tion. Mr.. L. was once appointed U. S. Consul at
San Juan do Nicaragua, but never lived there, nor
acted as such, having always resided in Leon. He
left the United States in l84s for the first time,
and was here in New York six or eight weeks ago.
His parents live in Cherry Valley, 0tsego county.

TENNESSEE ALL RIGRr.--A correspondent wri-

Tennessee is all right for Fillmore and Done-
son, certain. am familiar with the votes of sew
eral counties and know that wherever Col Gentry
and the American party lost on the last Governors
election, Fillmore and Donelson will more than
double the gain of the Democrats. The old-linc
Wings, to a man, are supporting the Philadelphia
nominations enthusiastically. Buchanan's squatter
sovereignty and the bargain and intrigue affair,
have lost him scores of supporters. In fact, in
this county he will hardly make respectable

be of superior excellence, and the leading char
aeters will be sustained with unusual brilliancy.
Mrs. Davenport is lady of great beauty and
extraordinary dramatic talent. We have never
seen her in the part of Juliet but regard it as ad
mirably adapted to her style.
Mr.. Davenport is universal favorite, and will
be at home in the difficult part Of Mercutio.
