The pliancy Of Democracy and the rapidity
of its mutations, are truly astonishing. Like
the chameleon it changes its color with the OBJ
ject on which it resls, and these changes take
place with singular facility, even from one
extreme to the other. In 1850 the Wing
party were charged with being pro-slavery,
and in Ohio free-soilism and democracy were
almost synonymous; but Douglas took the
Democratic party on his shoulder and hoped
over on to the Kansas Nebraska Bfh ard presto,
slavery at oncc becomes national and freedom
sectional and every Old Liner North and
South repudiates any restriction of the "peeu-
liar institution" Franklin Pierce in the Leg
islature of New Hampshire voted for the re-
ligious test; Franklin Pierce aspiring to re-
election to the Presidency in 1856, cringcs with
his Janus faced trucculency, to the Catholic
power; and those who Major Ribinson calls
Pierce's "drill sargeants'' all over the country
train the party in the same sort of eyolutions
Nothing is permanent with them, principle mus
yield to interest, and the name, the juggling
musical. fascinating name of democracy" l:
the only feature of the party that they still ad
here to. -

Our City and her Prospects.

At no former period, perhaps, have the pros
poets Of rapid improvement been so great as
they are at the present in our city. In every
quarter of the place, houses are being erected,
improvements being made and everything in
dicating as strongly as can be, rapid growth
and ain increasing prosperity. We know OF
no place in the whole great West, where SO
much is being accomplished, in so quiet a
manner, as in our own city of Evansville
Many of the buildings being erected this sea-
son, are to be of the most substantial kind,
and, what is greater evidence of our steady
gaowth is, that no sooner are these buildings
completed than tenants are ready TO occupy
| them. Indeed, man has only to commence
clearing away the rubbish, preparatory to
building, than he is applied to by strangers
who are DESTROYS of locating with US, and en-
CURED of when his building will be for rent.
Among the many who have opened business
houses in this city already this spring, there
are several we could name, who had their
goods in the place for severalweeks unopened
awaiting the completion of the buildings they
were to occupy.
We buy more, we sell more, we receive and
ship more than we ever did; and in each O
these departments we are steadily on the in.
crease. The senior partner of one of oul
principal Wholesale dry goods houses inform
led u.s. few days since, that they had sole
more during the first ten days of this month
than they had ever sold previously in Who'll,
month, and he assured us that theirs is by nj
1means an isolated case, but that such is the
state of trade generally in our city. a.a1 9dj
Another, a wholesale grocer, informs us
that the orders received by them already thiI
Ispring almost equal in amount that of any
whole season heretofore. s 1t will give some
little idea of the amount of business done by
this one house when we say that their pur
chases of one article alone-that of brown
sugars-this spring have amounted to ovel
fifty thousand dollars, and yet they are COMPEL
ed to make additional purchases to meet the
dmand tt flsis
We shall have more to say on this subject
shortly, touching not only our advancement il
point of members and prosperity, but also o
our natural resources and advantages. In tht
meantime, to the business man, the mechanic
Tor the laborer seeking home we would say
we know Of no better place than Evansville
Our people are hospitable, kindly disposed to
wards the stranger who seeks homo among
them. and withouttithat petty jealousy thai
T renders many communities so unpleasant.

E. & C. Railroad.

We publis this morning a report from w
D. GrIswold, President in regard to the affairs
of this road, which we commend to the atten-
ton of the stockholders and all others The
facts given must, we think, be considered as
highly encouraging, and prompt all who can,
among those interested, and who is not? ia
aid in relieving the present wants of the road
by taking portion of the bonds referred to-
No better investment can, be made and if the
view of Mr.. Griswold can be met b means Of
these bonds as he suggest, the stock of the
road, which now has no convertible value, ex-
cept at a heavy discount, will advance, under
the we'll founded assurance that cash dividend
will infuture be realized upon it.
To the Stockholders Of the EvansuiRe and Cro0-
tordsville Railroad Company
The undersigned respectfully submits a
statement of receipts by account of transporta-
ton and general expenditures in gross, for the
half year ending February Goth, 1856, as fol-
lows: aa
The earnings of the road for the months
ending February, 20, have been as follows:

Railroad Satety.-The engineers on the
Erie Railroad resist rule adopted by the
Company making them responsible for run
ming off at any switch where their trains
stop. They say this is making them respon-
siblc for the neglect of the switch tender.
The company, however, say it is only an
additional rule of safety. The engineers
were instructed that switchmen were placed
at stopping stations for their convenience on
ly, and were not to bo relied upon for the
safety ofthe train, and that engineers would
be expected, in all cases, to see that the
switches were right before they passed over
them, and were also especially enjoined to
take all the time necessary to run safe; in
other words, toarun safe first, and fast af-
terwards !" that they should always run into
stopping. places under the assumption that
every switch was out Of place and a train
standing on the main track. AS the COM
pany are right, and the rule is for the safety

The Abbeville banner. [volume] (Abbeville, S.C.) 1847-1869, 1856-10-16

The troops have been active in arrcsting
prisoners. Lane, Harry, and Walker have
probably left the Territory, as nothing is
known of them. Lawrence is nearly de-
serted. Topeka WAS taken few days since,
and Is prisoners captured. Geary says
that lie does not intend to pardon one Of
the rascals who shall he sentenced by the
Judge. Thus is order again restored, and
thus we are again beguilcd by the idea that
a victory has been gained. But greater
war than this is waging throughout the
Union, and Kansas is but the tool to work
the ends Of the enemies to the Constitution.
Tho Territory is devastated, the best cti-
zcns driven off for security, and winter is
at hand with all its terroIs douhly enhanced
by insecure houses and empty barns.
