traitor IA Pledge Of the Demotratil
Party Fulfilled.

Il s-,--NE- ri E.P..H IbEI +--# m. ti r. H. -.gNI 1a-.%-FI@#
The sacred pledges Of a political par y
should be as religiously respected. as thu
word Of a private gentleman. 1t has
been, since it's Organization, the proud
boast Of the Democratic party, that its
promises to the people before an election
are to be- religiously observed in the
event of the triumph Of the party. "A
departure from this practice BY lie Demo.
cratic party would deservedly call down
upon its head the excavations of dill
rightminded men.
Among the resolutions adopted at the
Cincinnati Convention, the following met
with the hearty approval Of the reprs
sentatiyes of the national Democracy
from all sections Of the Union
Resolved, That we recognize the right
Of the people ofs all the Territories, In
Guiding Kansas and Nebraska, acting
through Tie fairly erp,ressed aciH OF he
majority Of actual residents, and whenever
the number Of their Inhabitants iustiies
it, to form q Constitution, with or with
out domestic slavery, and be admitted
into the Union upon. terms Of perfect
equality with the otherStates.
Whatever difference of opinion may
have been expressed upon other ques-
tlops, about this there was none. If
there was any particular resolution of the
Convention supposed to embody the
wishes Of the State rights party more
than the rest, it was that which pro-
claimed to the world the right Of the
MAJORITY or ACTUAL RESIDENTS Of a
territory to form 8 Constitution, with
or without domestic slavery = as that
majority might desire.
It was therefore, the duty of James
Buchanan, at the earliest possible mo-
ment after his Inauguration, to faithfully
aid in carrying out this pledge Of the
whole Democratic party.
The treachery Of Cow lGeary preclu-
ding the possibility Of q fair and honest
performance of the pledge of5the Democ-
racy to the people of Kansas, a man
whose political antecedents were without
reproach was sent to that TERRITORY with
instructions which guarantee to. The peo.

A Good.Natured Kiss.

4 lremember, says a traveller, the Count NJ.
one of the most accomplished and handsome
young men in Vienna When was there
he was r.ssionateiy in love with girl of al
most peerless beauty She was the daughter
of man of great rank and influence at court;
and on these considerations, as well as re-
gard to her charms, she was followed by a
multitude Of suitors. She was lively, and
amable, and treated them all with an ;sf;i-
blity which still kept them in her train, al
though it was generally known that she had
avowcd prediction for Count NJ, and
that preparations were making for their nup-
tials The Count was of n refined mind and
delicate sensibility. He loved her for her.
self alonc-for the virtues which he believed
dwelt in her beautiful form: and like lover
of such perfections, he never approached her
without tmidity, and when he touched her
a fire shot through his veins that warned him
not to invade the vermillion sanctuary o. her
lips. Such were his feeling when one night
au his intended father-in-law' party of
young people were met to celebrate certain
festival. Several of the young lady s rejected
suitors were present. Forleits was one Of
the passtimes, aad all went on with the great
est merriment till the Count was commanded
by some witty mademoiselle to redeem his
glove by saluting the cheek of his betrothed
The Count bushed, trcmbled, advanced to
his mistress, rctreated, advanced again-and
at last, with trcmor that shook every fibre
in his frame, with modest grace he put the
soft ringlet which played upon her cheek to
his lips, and retired tussdemand bis redeemed
pledge in evident confusion. His mistress
gayly smiled, and the game went on One Of
her rejected suitors who was ola merry, I'm
thinkin. disposition, was adjudged, by the
same indiscrcet crier of the forfeits, las his
last treat before he hung himself, she said,
to snatch u kiss from the lips Of the object
lips whose broken sighs such fragrance fling; I'D
AS love had famed them freely with his wing ~
A lively contest ensued between the lady
and the gentleman, lasting for minute, but
the lady yielded, though in the midst of a
.convulsive laugh, and the Count had the
modification, the agony, Of seeing the lips
which his passionate and delicate love would
not allow him to touch, kissed with rough.
ness and repetition by another man, end one
whom he despised Without word, he r,,se
from his. chair, left the room--and tue house
and, by that good natured kiss, the fair boast

Cement Honses-

AT this season of the wear there are many
persons resident in the country who may be
DESTROYS Of either building small houses and
out-buildings, or of extending those which
they have. Very frequently, wood is too ex-
pensive and stone also beyond the means Of
the builder. 70 these we would Suggest the
material used by Fowler, which we find
warmly commended in the New York Coun-
try Gentleman-an artificial stone made of
lime, sand and stones, OF rather mixture of
pebbIes..broken brick and powdered coal
The writer in the Country Gentleman cor
rectly points out that us generally used in
''grout houses, cement houses, DC, this ma
teriai IS sloppy and annoying The fluid, of
course is continually running down; neither
does it harden as rapidly as the work pro-
ceeds This latter objection would of itself
be sufficient in SO impatient a country as our
own, to prevent Artificial stone houses from
becoming common, But by casting the ce-
mentin large boxes, say two feet long, one
foot high and eighteen inches wide, Il great
saving in time is gained If thirty or forty
such lioxas be made and filed with cement
on, one morning, the next t. ely; may be taken
out to dry and harden. md an ltlis AVA 7any
laborer may. in twenty i've mornings, at Fifty
cents "a morning. heW out enough neat, dura-
Die stone teaaihi - large house,
These watts become lemarkably hard in a
few yearss and are also dre But to make
diem actually superior in this respect, to any
ordinary houses, either of brick. stone or
wood, the cement-stone in question should
be cast hollow, which is easily done by put
ting "a wooden cylinder into the mould box,
and knocking it ont after the box is lifted of.
By this means the wall consists partly of that
BEST material, dead air Walls-like human
beings-are better double thaa single, and
the best possible walls are those which con-
sist of q stratum OF air between two thinner
walls of brick The cement houses have the
advantage of being in one piece when finish
ed, are ratproot and wind,proof, and the
coolest in summer as they are warmest in
winter, The ordinary proportion of the ma
teria is ten bushels vi hme to twenty of sand,
with seventy of the pebbles &c, and water
enough TO reduce the lime and sand to "a
proper consistency The ornament and out
side coating of the house may, if needed, be
east of a finer cement, though even this may
be finished so as TO present very attractive
appearance The chief merit of the entire
plan is, apart from the fact that every farmer
can make the stone for himself. that such
hollow block houses are perhaps the healthi-
est in the world.
