The History Gs the Democratic Par.
fya-5sS Present Position,

The past history and present political posi-
ton Of the Democratic party are thus admirably
alluded to in speech made by the Hon. IL. Ii.
Sibley, the Democratic candidate for Governor
of Minnesota. Much truth is compressed in
short Space. Abiding to the Democracy, he said
they
Acquired Louisiana from Frame and Florida
from Spain; which settled the Oregon question
and the difficulties with Mexico, SO as to secure
our present ma 5nti5ent possessions on the Pa
cific coast; which crushed notification and disu-
mon at home under the lead of the immortal
Jackson, and abated the nuisance of the United
States; which ere lted our laud system, under
the operation of which the West has sblossomed
like the rose; which modified your tariff laws so
as to produce u revenue more than sufficient for
the wants of the government, from imports lev
led upon articles Of luxury and not necessity;
which has originated every measure Of public
policy which has u tendency to.develope the re-
sources and the strength of the country which
has thrown the stars and stripes over our native
and adapted citizens and has said to the tyrants
of Europe Touch not the least of these; par
ty, in short, which is the party Of that Con-
stituton and that Union, which may God in
his mercy, long preserve to lis, and to our de-
scendants.
We have been charged with being pro-sla-
very party accusation which every man
within the sound ofmy voice knows to be false.
We derry the right of Congress any jurisdiction
over this question, and We deny its power to say
to this or that State or Territory, You shall not
have this or that domestic institution in your
midst We hold it is the right OF each State
and Territory to settle those matters for them
selves, without interference from any quarter
This is one Of the cardinal principals Of the De-
mocratlc Larty.

Thoughtful mon are asking this question. 1t
is significant one There is at best but two
months of Canal Navigation left, and the vast
crop Of the boundlesI West is not moving! The
Atlantic cities are but scantly supplied with
breadstuifS and yet not a barrel flour is seen
upon the whole line Of the Erie Canal! In for,
mer seasons, the Lakes, the Canals, and the Ri
vers have, by the first Of October, been taxed to
their full capacity, in transp)rting flour, wheat
and the coarser grains Now these great arter-
les of trade are almost puseless The Basin,
heretofore crowded with boats and tecming with
produce, is now comparatively soitude
Country banks, instead of furnishing the usu-
al facilities for the putch Use Of produce, are now
making daily sacrico' to ks9p u2 their credit in
New York And in New York, the banks that
they may be strongly fortified, refuse that ma
telial aid to merchants without which com.
nercc and credit perish Without prompt re-
lief there must be, in the coming month"; com
mercial crash And without money to bring
forward produce, there will be demand in the
winter months, from unemployed workmen for
''cheap bread, "a demand in language only em
ployed by desperate men with starving wives
and children.-AB. Eve. Jour.

Legitimate Banking.

The New York Courier thus refers to the op-
inion ofa Virginia cashier upon the subject OF
banking in connection with the present financi-
al embarassments:
There is much truth in the principle laid
down in letter received to-day from the CASH
Ter Of one Of the Banks in Richmond, Virginia;
. State where banking is carried on in q more
legitimate manner than in other States. He OBJ
serves:
"There is, in my opimon,no mystery in bank
ing. II Banks located in commercial cities
would employ their capital in discounting good
commercial paper only, there would be no sud
den expansions and contractions and very mo-
derate lessening ofdiscounts would put matters
right.n
flour Banks and Bankers here would follow
this principle--discountena Railroad loans
.-dscIine to pay on balances payable on de-
Hnand and never loan more than five percent. Of
their capital to any one concern, there would
be more uniformity in Bank profits and fewer
failures among commercial men.

GETTING ALL THE LAWYERS on HIS SIDE
Oliver II. Smith gives this incident in the early
history Of Indiana At the Rush Circuit Court
my friend Judge Perry bargained for a pony for
twenty five dollars, to be delivered the next day
on credit of six months. The man came with
the pony, but required security of the Judge for
the twenty-five dollars. The Judge drew the
note on the top Of sheet of ffoolscap, and signed
it, Isigned 1t; James Rardan signed il and
handed it on, and on it went from lawyer to
lawyer around t he bar until some twenty Of us
had signed it. | then handed it up to the court
and the three judges put their names to it
Judge Perry presented it to the man he had
bought the pony Of but he promptly refused to
receive it. "Do you think | am fool, to let
you get the Court and all the lawyers on your
side? Isee you intend to cheat me out of my
pony" Up he jumped and ran out ofthe court
house, mounted his pony and started for home
at full gallop.

Fa'he Rev Territory OF DecotaEp.

The last Congress, twill be remcmberd, form
ed a new territory under the name Of Decotah.
The Independent, published at Sargeant's Bluff
says that the Territory included "a great part of
the valley Of the Solx, the valleys Of the James
and Vermilion rivers, aud large tracts OF beau
tiful bottom lanls lying on the Missouri. In re-
gard to the climate, it becomes milder towards
the west, SO much so that tile winters in the
northwestern parts of Dacotah are said to be not
much more severe than in northern Pennsylvania
The prevailing want of this entire region is tim
ber. Its chief attl actions are its fertile SOIL pure
air and water, and usually healthy climate; and
is believed also to possess an abundance Of min
eral coal.

whn 0sAl,. 80 MoneY.

The question is often asked who stole the mon
ey from the treasury OF Chic The following
extract from communication in the Carrolton
Democrat gives pretty correct solution to the
question who stole the money ....
You NAV thing strange ofme being republi-
can and making this statement through your
paper. But having been taught to say in my in
fancy that "honesty was the best of policy" i
here fore feel constrained by every tie of honor
and honesty to make this statement so that my
hands may be clean and my heart clear OF he'll
ping to conceal the guilt and rascality ofany man
Or set of men.
was in your place the other day while in
with a legal man, observed 20
him that Mr. Cogsil or Hole should have been
nominated, as either of them were men IN whom
the people could place the mo It undoubted con-
fi,lepce IN any statement which they might
make, and could be relied upon, and as there
has been u large delalcation in the treasury, the
people desire to know where the money went
and by whom it was lost or stolen. He remark
ed to me that Gibson, Ford and others had spent
a large amount of money last fall in order to car
nv the election of Colonel Fremont, and that II
Fremont had been elected, the money would
have all been paid back, and no ore would
have suspected anything aboutit. But as Fire.
mont was defeated and the money lost, 1t was
all important that Mr.. Roach should be noini-
mated and elected in order that the rascality be
smothcred or saddled on Breslin And further
that if the Democracy should carry the election
this fall ar d get majority in both branches o
the legislature, there will be an investigation o
the whole matter, which will, perhaps impli-
cate some our best and most influential men in
the State, which would forever and eternally de,
feat the republican party in the State,
Ift is really necessary for US to nominate
and elect men for the express purpose ofsmoth
ering and covering up the rascality of men ii
the republican party, for one, in the language
of Banks, says "let it slide de.'

Interesting COrTespOudence---ColO-
uizatiOn of Negroes in Ohi7.
Sr. LOUIS, Saturday September


L. " S!gord, Esq, United States .Harshal:
Though my acquaintance with you is limited,
still shall take the liberty ofaddressins you on
subject in which feel great interest.
Same five or six years ago had an only uncle,
Soloman Hall, who lived near Salisbury North
Carolina. lie addressed me a letter To this
place, requesting my presence with HIM as soon
as possible. He stated that he was old and in
bad health, and that he wished to make his Will,
in which he proposed to set free about one hun
dfed slaves. | compiled with his request, and
went to see him immediately. On full and
mature deliberation, ircih all the light he could
get, he was induced to select the State of OHIO
as the place to viii h they should be sent; as
you know IN that State man cannot free his
slaves--t has to be done by taking them out OF
the State.
One year ago last June he died, since which
time have passed through nearly every part oil
your State, and made such general observations
and inquiries as could, AMI as yet have come
to no satisfactory conclusion as to what part OF
| the State would best snit the end in view.
! Difficulties present themselves on many ac-
counts As you must know, they are very igno-
rant of all business and Of the world, and to
turn them loose without aid and instruction
would make liberty to them in all probability,
rather curse than blessing. To enjoy liberty
it requires intelligence, order not to abuse it,
and judgment, in order to maintain and preserve
it. OF these they are utterly deficient
| would, therefore, as Of you and through you
or any ofthe good citizens OF your State, to give
Inc such aid and facilities as will be best calcu.
| lated to carry out the benevolent design of my
departed relative.
Any tllrcSs to me, Mt this place. will receive
my prompt attention. With the highest regards
| am, dear sir, most respectfully,
Yours, &c, }. w. HALL.

LTAlligators' nests resemble hay cocks
They are four feet high, and five in diameter at
their basis, being constructed with grass and
herbage. First, they deposit one layer ofeggs
on floor of mortar, and having covered this
with stratum of mud and herbage, eight inch
es thich, lay an other set ofcggs upon that and
so on to the top, there being commonly from one
to two hundred eggs in a nest. With their
tails they then beat down round the nest the
dense grass and reeds five feet high, to prevent
the approach Of unseen enemies. The female
watches her eggs until they are al hatched by
the heat OF the sun, and then takes her brood
under her own care, defending them and provid-
ing for their sustenance Dir. Lutzcmberg, of
New Orleans, told me that he once packed up
one of these nests, with the eggs ina box for the
Museum oftf. Petersburg but was recommend
cd before he closed it to see that there was no
danger OF the eggs being Matched on the VOYAGE.
On nopenins one young alligator walked out, and
was soon followed by the rest, about hundred
which he fed in the house, whore they went up
and down stairs whitlhg and barking hkeyoung

The truth is, our State has bcen colonized

but in no case has it resulted to the advantage

political party among US at this time advocating
the policy ofmaking Ohio colony for Southern
slaves and the free negroes who may be driven
from other States, and of giving them political
and social equality when they are brought among
us; but you will soon hear, hope, of that party
and its doctrines being utterly repudiated and
overthrown.
