bGy- The Uaion @ American seems 10
be perfectly amazed, bewildered, dunn
founded at the opposition to democracy,
in the South. 1t can see no reason for il,
knowing, as it processes to do, that loco
focoism is the bulwark Of slavery. Well,
somehow or other there will be differences
ofopinion on all subjects-even the revolu-
ton of the earth on its axis,--and there
are those, in the South, who believe that
southern locofocoism has kept up the agi.
tation of the slavery question for its own
selfish ends, aud that not concession has
been made to northern fanaticism that has
not been made by that party; and we ask
the Union &c american TO point to single
instance to the contrary. During the short
period of wing ascendancy, not an instance
can be found of submission to northern
demands on that point; and that party
North and South--begged, for the sake Of
the Union, and the interests of the South,
that the agitation of slavery should be
stopped forever. But no that wise policy
did not suit locofoco interests, and that
party has increasingly pursued the OPP
posite course, and sought its own success
at whatever hazard to the South, and the
Union 6' American rolls up its eyes in holy
horror at the opposition to pure, immacu-
late locofocoism.

WHAT THE PEOPLE WANT.

The National Intelligeneer, replying TO
a bravado in o Democratic journal in re-
ference to the benefits conferred upon the
country by the Democratic party---the
article closing with the inquiry, what
more do the people want2"--thus furnishes
the reply:
The people want an end put to sectional
agitation, as we'll in its causes as it's
effects.
They want well-regulated national
currency.
They want just and adequate protection
awarded to American industry.
They want judicious system of inter-
nal improvements, instead of the present
partial and spasmodic legislation Of Con-
gress.
They want the public lands carefully
husbanded, if their proceeds cannot be
equally distributed.
They want remedy applied to the
abuses connected with the dispensation OF
the public patronage-abuses which pro-
woke complaint even from the party which
first inaugurated the "spoils era" in poll
tics.
They want an economical administers
ton of Government, as we'll in the collec-
ton as in the dispensatiou of its revenue.
They want justice, dignity and modera.
ton in the conduct of our foreign affairs,
whether as regards the great Powers Of
Europe or the feeble States on our own
continent.
They want no further extension of our
Territorial limits
They want the Executive power restrain.
ed within its ancient restrictions.
They want the Judiciary, both State
and Federal, respected alike for the purity
and independence of its decisions.
They want no more Exclusions and de.
ceptions," growing out of ambiguous legis
lation with respect to the Territories, OF
other topics of national concern.
They want the Federal Legislature gov
erned more by the felt necessities of the
country and less by the exigencies o.
party.
These are few of the principal "wants'
now experienced by the people, and it i.
only by making provision for them tina
the Democracy can assert just claim t
the continued tenure of that power which
they now hold on sufrance by favor of tn,
divisions existing among their opponents

known, grave charges of fraud, forgery,
&C., were fled against them. Appleton,
the Assistant Secretary, had known their
characters, but had induced Gen. Cass to
sign their commissions, by representing
that the President desired the appoint
ments; but the President, when the mat
ter was brought to his attention, together
with the charges, Indignantly denied all
knowledge of the individuals, and, after
an exciting scene with Gen. Cass (Which
is said to have brought on the old man s
recent attack of epilepsy called Appleton
to severe account for the deception. APP
pleton doesn't deny the newspaper char
ges that he is concerned with Wendell in

ing. Serious charges, moreover, have
been filed against Stubs, the disbursing
agent of the Department, and his son,
who, together, receive some $4,000 year
for service which could easily be perform
ed by one person for 81 900. 1t is little
singular that all four of the persons i'm

Efforts have been made to smother these
matters, but no doubt they will all come
before Congress at its approaching sess-

The PROSPECT OF WORKING THE PRES
ENT CABLE. - The Scientific American,
speaking of the ocean telegraphing, and
the difficulties experienced in working the
Atlantic Cable, says:
"Mr. Field attributes the difficulties to
the use of the instruments of Professor
Whitehouse and Thompson, but states
that these will soon he removed, and those
of Professor Hughes will be substituted.
In reference to this telegraph, he says,
"there is no reasonable doubt that Prof.
Hughes will be able to transmit intelli-
gence through the cable reliably at the
rate of about three words per minute"
Mr.. Field, we think, is inconsiderate in
his statements. In endeavors to send sim
pie currents through the ocean cable, these
have sometimes ceased TO flow for con-
siderable period Of time, without any APP
parent cause; then they would flow again,
in the same inexplicable manner. AS
Hughes instrument does not generate
but is operated by these currents, it can
not remedy this difficulty, as it is one
which belongs to the cable, not to the OPP
Grating instruments. The Hughes tele-
graph also requires a strong current
whereas the current sent through the cable
have been very feeble. The correct ope.
rations of this telegraph depend on the
simultaneous revolution of type wheel
in Ireland and another in Newfoundland
If one revolves an instant faster than the
other, wrong message is sure to be sent
In such long line this must frequently
occur, and thus, by the instruments get.
ting out of register, they will often be rem.
dered incapable of satisfactory operation. y
