The DerMicr Resort.

Ii is stated on the very best authority, that the
leaders of the Fillmore or American party, have
made proposition to the Democracy TO unite on
one electoral ticket in the Northern and Western
States, and that Douglas & Co. have fayorably
entertained the proposition. IL would indeed be
4 queer arrangement, though by no means amar
vellous partnership. Something of this charac-
Ter might have easily been inferred from the has
" manner in which the Democracy have raised
the ''stop thief - cry. 1t is proof, however, of
one important fact, that the Democratic party
has no future, and the desperate game now being
played can only be compared to the last stake of
the gambler-when that is gone all is gone
Nothing, however, can be gained by this step;
but on the contrary, everything will be lost-its
individual identity will be gone forever. and the
few German voters now in its ranks will leave it
spontaneously with the old liners, who will never
consent to Il union with knownothingism.
Had Douglas, Pierce 4 Co. sworn on the altar
of revenge to lay the party in its winding sheet,
they could not have done so more efectualy than
will be the case in this union with Prescription,
the South and Slavery. III
Female College.
We are sure that scarcely any news could be
more gratifying than the fact we chronicle this
morning, that the Trustees of the Baldwin Insti-
tute have consummated arrangements with Prof.
Smith, of Boston, who, with his lady, both teach
ers of experience, will open Seminary of the
first class for girls and young ladies. They have
had charge of one of the largest French Semina-
ries in New York, which was last winter DESTROYED
by fire, and they now come to make home and
establish school in the West. Mrs. Smith takes
charge of the department of music. It enough
to say that she is the pupil of the great masters
and composers, Webb and Mason. Two other
ladies of the highest accomplishments will be
here by the 10th of September, to enter upon
their labors. This is what we need, and we pre-.
dict for the Institution the highest success.
Prof. S. can be seen by friends of education
at the Winsiow House. ..,....,, ,.-,-
o.. The ZElTUSG.-Our German friend takes us to
task for our Temperance principles. He says he
can 60 with us as far as our Republican prin-
ciples are concerned, but he cannot harmonize
with us on closing the Beer shops at 10 O'Clock.
We consider inebratiOn Savery-temperauce
Liberty, but if our German contemporary looks at
1t in different light, he must spect aces of
different color. We will agree to disagree on
the Temperance question, but on the question of
Freedom in our Territories, let us be united.
PoP GOES THE MONEY On the 18th Of Au-
gust Bill passed the House of Representatives
appropriating $2.000,000 for the establishment
of Naval Depot at Georgia. Should similar
appropriation be asked for by the North, the
South would consider it sufficient cause for
dissolution of the Union. The fact is, the South
has always had its own way, and it will continue
10 10 so until the intelligent thinkers of the North
insist upon their rights. ..e...l .F
