CONsULS.

We notice that Mr.. Beverly Tucker has been
appointed Consul to Liverpool and Mr.. Spencer
of Philadelphia, Consul to Paris. Our friend "Ben
is in luck, and as he is really clever fellow,
broth of boy" we are glad Of it for his sake; we
only wish he had a princely fortune, wouldn't he
spend it like prince among those English aristo-
Gratis!
But Mr.. Spencer; who is he? We never heard
of him till few days ago, and then as a convert
to Romanism, and claiming the appointment on
that account.
The Roman Catholics, it is asserted, claimed
that Romanist should be appointed consul to
Paris, because it is Roman Catholic city, and de-
manded the Office for Mr.. Spencer merely because
he was convert If this be true, his appoint
ment shows the power they WELD here at head
quarters. Americans and Professionals have nc
influence whatever with the present administers
ton. Ifany one wants an office, let his friends
recommend him as an Iishman and Catholic, and
he viii get it sure. MI

FOREIGN NEWS.

The steamship Vanderbilt arrived at n. York
day before yesterday, from Southampton, bringing
dates to August %. The latest intelligence from
India was received by telegraph on the day OF the
sailing of the steamer, and confirms the former
statement of the capture of Cawnpore by the in
surgents and the massacre of the European inhab-
itanls of the place Delhi still held out, and all
the native troops in Dude had revolted. The com
pcatiou of Indian affairs began TO excite alarm in
England. Vigorous debates had taken place in
Parliament, and the rapid drain of men and ves
sells for India was regarded as means Of weaken
ing the country OF its defences. An article in the
London Times comments upon speech of Lord
Pamerston, in Parliament, in significant language.
The affairs of Turkey present no new features
The commercial news by this arrival is favorable ;
large sales Of Cotton are reported; Grain was

FRENCH REFUGEES IN ENGLAND.---In the House
of Commons, on the 2lst--
Mr.. w. Williams asked the First Lord of the
Treasury whether there was any truthin the rumor
that, in compliance with an application of the
Government of France, the Government of this
country would expel some of the French refugees
who had sought an asylum in this county,
Lord PALMERsToN.-My answer is in the first
place, that no such application has been received
from the Government of France; and, in the next
place, something like the excuse Of a village for
not ringing their bells in the time of Charles ii,
that they had no bells to ring--that we have no
power by law to grant the application. CHEERS

WHAT HAS BEEN GAINED

The Macon Journal and Messenger very peril
ncnty asks this question, and says;
"The Southern Democracy were for breaking
mn the Union in the event of Fremont's election;
Fremonts platform was, "no more slave States.
Ry indirect means and fnessing, the Buchanan
administration is securing the precise result the
Black Republicans contended for What has
been gained by the election of Mr.. BuchananY"
What has been gained by the passage OF the
Kansas. Nebraska act, the repeal Of the Missouri
Compromise, and the re-opening of the sluices OF
agitation which had been closed by the Compro.
mise of 1850? Has the South gained anything?
Has the North gained anything9 Has the country
as a whole gained anythingY
The Compromise Of 1850, though distasteful to
portions of the North, was generally acquesced in
and enforced, and the whole country was settling
down into quietude once more under it. just
then came, like clap Of thunder from an I'M
clouded sky, the Kansas-Ne braska BILL What
has followed, all know.

The Appointments of the Locofoco Adj
'tI ministratiOn.

There is at least one merit in the American
members of the so-caled Democratic party that
commands our admiration. II is the merit of for
bearance; of meekly yielding TO every outrage
that is perpetrated upon their rights; Of kissing
the hand that smites them; Of quietly submitting
to the elevation of Catholic Irish, and low, misera-
Bile, renegade, and perured Wings, to honorable
aud profitable positions under the Government, TO
TO the exclusion of honest working and capable
American Democrats, whose only misfortune APP
pears to have been that they were natiVe born
citizens, and not within the fold of the allpower-
full, controlling dictatoral and only true church.
Every man who has watched with any degree
OF care the appointments under Buchanaps adj
ministration, cannot have failed TO observe the
truth of the above statement. Men of merit in
every respect, born upon our soil, educated gen.
tlemen, earnest in their support OF the successful
candidates of the now dominant party, and life
long laboring members of that party, have been
compelled, by power behind the throne, TO give
place TO new and raw recruits from the ranks oil
the Wing party, or from the green sod OF Erin.
These are the men who carry away the prizes held
out for party service. And these the men
who are able TO do it, so long as they can pro-
nounce the "Shiboeth" Of the church, or exert
an influence that will hold in the ranks their
new party acquisitions. You gentlemen who are
honest, competent genuine American Democrats,
are safe enough. You win stick to the party
There is no danger OF detection with you. The
Offices must be given TO strengthen the partyl-
And the Church Of Rome demands a place for
others who are more important to the Democracy
of the country. This is the language with which
our honest working American Democrats are met,
and they are content to retire from the august
presence Of the Collector and the Postmaster, to
continue their labors TO keep such men in Office.
How long is this state Of things 10 continued
How lorg viii the bone and sinew of the Ameri-
can Democracy submit TO such degradationS We
look anxiously for the time when this portion Of
that party will assert their independence, and no
longer occupy the position Of tools in the hands
Of men TO be used for their own selfish purpose.

A HUGE sWINDLE.

Fort Smelling, Minnesota, which cost $4,000,
and 900 acres of valuable land adjoining, at the
junction of the Mississippi with the Minnesota
river worth at least 800 per acre, has been prir
vatey sold to Democrat named Francis Steele,
for 10000, one-third down. IF the property had
been advertised and sold publicly, it would with
out doubt have sold for ten times that amount.
This is really huge swindle-who pockets the
avails?

The fact that all of the Insurance Companies of the
