MODERN DEMoCRAcY.-T That standard Demo-

in the following eminently I" Christian " vein
upon the recent announcement that David Hunt
of Mississippi has given $50, 900 to the American
Colonization Society: - o.
What wonderful, what world wide, what in
comprehensive delusion Fifty thousand dollars
given, and for what for exating, for benefit
ting, for improving negroes Alas no, but for
sending them back to Africa to relapse again in.
to their primitive barbarism, while at this very
time the civilized world is actually suffering for
increased supplies Of cotton, sugar coffee, and all
the tropical productions which are only to be had
through the labor of these negroes. Sugar and
coffee are actually becoming so high as to be al
most beyond the reach of the poorer classes, and
yet mistaken philanthropyis making these ar
tcles dearer and dearer, until like satins and err
mines, they can only be procured by the wealth..
est classes, and worst of all, it is transforming
happy, Chrstianized, producing negroes into saw
age, non-producing barbarians. Verify, has hon
est delusion ever made more pitiful exhibition
of itself since Europe was whitened with the
bones of the Crusaders
We see in this the practical tendency Of pro.
slavery Democracy. The views of the Day Book
widely entertained among the class of North.
err men represented by that paper, but are not
often so boldly expressed.

The New GRANADA DIFFICULTY.--W ash
iagtom, May g. Correspondence of the New
York DAILY Times. i have good authority
for saying that Lord Napier has received in
structions from his government to inform New
Granada that her abrupt rejection of the
American ultimatum meets with the most de-
cided disapprobation of the British govern
ment The issue raised by New Granada, of
responsibility for the massacre of the 10Th of
April, inasmuch as she alleges that it was
commenced, or, at least, melted by an Amer
lean citizen, is not recognized by England as a
just and proper one, and the counter demand
for damages made against our government is
regarded as simply ridiculous Neither Eng
land nor France will take part with New Ora
NADIA in the present controversy. Both these
powers support the action of the United States
government in its endeavors to obtain repara-
ton for past outrages, and security for future
travel across the Isthmus. The fact that Eng.
land and France entertain these views is well
known to our government. Nevertheless, in
the consideration of the fact that our oppo-
nent in this quarrel is feeble State, and one
that has always been friendly, our govern
ment is disposed to be magnanimous. What
ever appearances may be, it is not believed
that the question will have other than a pa
cifc solution.

DESTRUCTION OF MAMMOTH BAKERY
The New York journal Of Commerce, in Civ
ing an account of the total destruction of H.
Beadan's mammoth Mechanical Bakery, in
Brooklyn, New York, at clock on We'd
nesday morning, says:
'' 1t was in the full tide of success, daily
converting from 70 to 100 barrels of -four into
10000 or $4,000 loaves, and increasing the
production at the rate of twenty additional
barrels per week.
The prediction of the inventor was begin
ming to be realized in the disappearance from
the field of competition of all rival bakeries,
not less than sixteen of the twenty four
wagons employed by him in distributing
bread having been bought in, at sheriff s sale,
from bakers recently thrown out of business.
Since about the middle of last December, this
great bakery has consumed not less than 8O,-
600 barrels of -four; and it is calculeted that
by saving the nutritive qualities of this
amount, Gas compared with the old mode of
baking,) and thereby producing greater
weight of bread at proportionate reduction
of cost, pecuniary saving to the people of
Brooklyn has been effected, equivalent to
100000"
The loss on the bakery is $35 900, on which
there is $4,000 insured on the building
building $4,000, well insured Mir. Berdan
intends to erect another bakery in Brooklyn,
and New York city. In all, eleven of his

each. have been sold, of which two are for

BoRN TO Coon LuoK.-The St. Lous..

BORN To Coon LUoK,-Ihe st. LOUIS
Leader tells the following story
Not over a dozen years ago, merchant OF
this city, well known and highly respected,
failed in business and after settling up his
affairs, gave TO a principal creditor, a deed of
trust on certain real estate, to secure the pay
ment of $4,000. AT the time the property
was earely valued at that, so the creditor put
the eeed in his safe, and there so far as no
was concerned, the matter ended The mer-
chant broken down, disappointed, Door but
yet enterprsing, went South, visited Cali
fornia, Mexico. and South America, specu-
lated made half dozen fortunes, and lost
them agsin. A few weeks since he returned
to the city, sick, travel worn, needy and dis
heartened. By chance he met his old law
yer, gentleman high in his profession, and
who is deservedly respected. After the first
greeting, the lawyer remarked 81 am glad to
see you back, and as you seem to be in want
of funds the sale will be just in time.
The merchant looked hard at his friend, and
finally said, "Sale what salee I've got
nothing to SELL"
''Nonsense, my dear fellow; you are richer
than you imagine. Don't you remember the
deed of trust drew up for you some twelve
years ago"
81 do J; what of itY'
swell, at that time the property would not
have realized that sum, SO it was let lie but
it is now in the market, and expect to close
a contract for its sale this week"
"You amaze me; what price do you ex-
pect to get?"
"rve asked $S6,OOO and shall get it too.
Your old debs and interest will amount to
I,o00 or thereabouts-so you will have
$4,000 to go upon"
The sensations of the party may be "more
easily imagined than described, as the penny
a-iners have it, but one thing is certain, MIR.
A. went home a happier man than he had
been for ten years at least.
Reader, what we have here related is sim
pie fact and more, the occurrence is not yet

GAS lar HoRTICULTURR.-From Galigna-
nj Messenger, as quoted in the Franklin In
st't'tte, we learn that discovery, which is
likely to be of great advantage to agriculture,
has been reported to the Agricultural Society
at Claremont, France. A gardener, whose
frames and hot house required painting, de-
clded to make them black, as likely to attract
the heat better and from principle of econ
omy he made use Of gas tar, instead of black
paint.-The work was performed during the
winter, and on the approach Of spring, the
gardener as surprised to find that all the spi.
ders and insects which usually infested the
place had disappeared, and also that vine,
which for the last two years had so fallen off
that he had intended to replace it for anoth-
err. had acquired fresh force and vigor, and
gave every sign of producing a large crop of
grapes. lie afterwards used the same sub
stance to the posts and trellis work which
supported the tiers in the open air, and met
with the same results. All the oaterpillers
and other insects completely disappeared. IL
is said that similar experiments have been
in some Of the vineyards in the Gronde, with
similar results. We commend these facts 70
American horticulturists, as equally applica.
Bile to other growths than that Of the vine.
