PUr THESE ToGErHER.-It is good some
times to see how well brethern agree. We
like to see harmony in political households.
especially among the Democracy. They are
becoming truly pecaiigr people. and ono IS
often unable to trace their belief to their coz
duct. their conduct to their belief. or one part
of their conduct to another. However. there
is nothing strange or rincomprehensible in ths
following:
Virginia is one of the most reliable Demo
cratic States in the Union. Her statesmen ara
among the purest. aud her press among tho
most fearless. With such men as Henry A.
Wise. and such papers as the Richmond En-
quirer. the Democracy mus. always triumps,

GRADATIoNs OF PUsIsHMENr.--An old friend
writes US from Charleston. South Carolina, on
the 3lst ult. lie says that on the day pre-
vious there were four notable cases Of drunken
ness and disturbance in that city. The frs:
was the son aud heir of a very wealthy man;
no notice was taken OF his offence. The sec
ond was man Of moderate circumstances;
fined ten dollars aud costs. The third was
poor white man. James O'Brien; sen. to the
poor house for one week. The fourth was
negro named Brutus, sentenced to receive If
teen paddles, which. we suppose. means IF
zen strokes with paddle. In each case, the
offence was about equal. except that the hope.

the mirrors in the sitting room. Good for

his life. The ambassador. in order TO aYcngc

ern candidates in the field, not one from the
North.
The thirteenth brought in Martin Van Baren,
who rode in on the popularity Of his Southern
predecessor.
In the fourteenth election, Martin Van Buren
was most Overwhelmingly defeated by son Of
Virginia
In the fifteenth election, the South still re.
ceived the honor-both candidates from the
South.
In the sixteenth, the South still possesses
the honor.
In the seventeenth, it is given to Northern
pis aller
Thus we see that, out of seventeen elections
by the people, thirteen were Southern men, and
three Northern men.
One Northern man elected by the House,
who had not onethird Of the popular vote.
But, in truth, the question does not hinge
upon the latitude of mans birth now, any
more than it has done heretofore.
A Northern may be elected now and again
and again, or it may be a Southern man now
and again.
The question is not now-whence is a man,
but what is at issue in the coming contest?
What have the Democracy to establish? How
and with which Of her statesmen can she 90
into the contest with best assurance of sue
cess? When they find such leader, woe be
to those who, from sinister motives or mis-
guided partiality, shall seek to substitute an
unknown man, one who does not come to the
Convention endorsed by the people for this
high position.

WHERE is THE RECORD OF GENE
RAJ PIERCE'S SERVICESs

The Union has charged us with doing injns-
tice to General Pierce.
We have given to him, at all times, credit
for his excellent messages.
South Carolina, at least those purporting to
speak for her, and who have shown the greatest
zeal in Offering commentator, speaks OF
his course-"as erinced By his annual mes
sage" and his Kansas message on non-inter-
ference.
Notwithstanding our alleged injustice 10
General Pierce, it would appear that his warm.
est friends 60 not one step beyond the limits
of our commendation.
We have latterly collated from the columns
of papers, now fusome to him in eulogy, the
structures which, at the time Of the occurrences.
these papers had made upon the course of
General Pierce, and for the republishing their
structures they throw the blame upon the copy
ist, they themselves being the originals
But we are content to bear the blame, so
long as the statement Of our facts stands confess.
ed as true.
If these parties, instead Of scolding, had un.
dertaken to show we we're in error, and had
done SO, we should have felt reproved; but wild
and clustering denunciations of irrefutabe
facts may serve to show the temper of the par.
ties making the exhibition, but will hardly be
received by intelligent persons as a satisfactory
denial Of the facts alleged.

Last NIGHTS Oyntfnu.

1t was no mere benefit was a civic tri.
umph that attended Miss Matilda Heron last
night. The array of beautiful women and
courteous, admiring men that crowded the bog
es and parquette, was unexampled at this sea-
son Of the year in Mobile. 1t was tribute to
the genius Of our fair country woman that we
are sure she will esteem as one Of the proudest
in her history, however splendid may, and will.
he her failure career. Before 10 o'clock there
was not a seat to be procured and all were oc.
cupied by our own noble-spirited citizens There
was scarcely an unfamiliar face in the lovely
groupes that filled the enchanted circles; for
enchanted or enchained they we're, for every
spot was filed, and as excitedly occupied when
the curtain fel as in the most attractive scene
of the play.
When all was over, and when the favored
magnet Of this attraction answered by her pres
ence before the curtain the tumultuous call Of
her crowded friends, the shower of costly bou-
quets-from the simple bud to the pyramid OF
howers-told proudly to her how deep is the
admiration felt for her genius. But one among
them had a more than usual significance. 1t
was laurel WREATH tribute at once to the au.
thor and the actress. Well might she feel over,
come by those heartfelt compliments; and we
feel assured that in her dreams last night, how
ever golden and dazzling shone the future of
her vision, the past was marked by one sweet
rosy spot where was enshrined the name of
Mobile and the fair Moblians--Mobile paper.

should be smothered, for the reason that I" He
was the head of the church, and that it would
i,yure the cause, for an exposure of the immo-
rality of its head Thus we see that this truck.
ling to the ZONE MAN RULE" is found even in
the temples dedicated to the service Of God
II is a general and crying evil throughout
the land it is to be found to greater or less
extent in every organization, be it civil polili.
cal, or religious. Ii should be the duty-nay
it should be labor of love to the press in the
country to hold up this growing deformity to
public reprobation. We took occasion to illus
trate this view, in former number of the Sen
tinel, by the case of President Tyler, whose
administration, many OF the first men of the
country esteem as one of the most brilliant in
our annals, yet which was repudiated, and
naturally repudiated, by the party which placed
him in power. And we do not hesitate to say
the Whig party preserved not only its organ-
zation, but the integrity of its organization by
its course at that time
And are not furnished with memorable
instance in our own party? Did not the Demo
cratic Party save itself by the reputation of
Martin Van Buren and his dangerous heresies?
We believe that the President of our party
can do wrong. We believe the present Presi-
sdent has done much and grievous wrong, and
only when the power of speech and pen fails
US, will we desist from the exposure of these
errors which we believe have been capital in
his case. There is one other point which we
will merely state: We hear, constantly, gentle
men assert, in answer to our complaint that
complimentary resolutions are passed by con-
ventions-that it is merely done from party ne
cessty. What can so tend to- demoralize a
great party resting on the principles of the
Constitution for its existence and perpetuity, as
such fallacious reasoning as this?
In conclusion, we have only to say, that if
we are, the only press in the United States of
America, which will dare to criticise the per-
sonal and political character of Franklin Pierce,
we will stand alone, and do it to the end of the
chapter. Our Democratic record is sufficient
ly clear TO enable us to turn with pity upon the
miserable demagogues, who think the fattery
OF false man a better service to his party and
the country, than the frank and fearless ex-
preston of their honest convictions We
claim to be votary of independence, and her

Miss Heron's Farewell Night-Two Plays

Miss Heron's Farewell Night-Two Plays.
This evening, at the Gaety Theatre, Miss Ma.
tilda Heron, who has played two successful en-
gagements there, makes her farewell curtsy,
and invites her friends and the admirers Of her
superb acting, to receive her adieux, and the
acknowledgment Of their kindness.
She plays the heroine in her prize play Of
"Giotto," (of the first performance of which,
last evening, we shall have something to say in
our nexty) upon this occasion, and, in compli-
ance with very general request, the fourth and
fifth acts of her own Camille" This pro-
gramme, of itself, should fill the house to over
flowing.
Miss Heron came to us rich in reputation as
an actress Of uncommon abilities, and we think
it will be admitted that both here and in our
sister city Of Mobile, she has added nobly to
that reputation. As the personator Of some Of
the most powerful characters in the drama, she
is admitted to be peerless.-N o. Picayune,
May 10.
