THIS Is the season Of Flowers-thosc
embloms OF beauty, innocence and love,
bestown by God upon the human family,
as monitors of His charity for them. All
the atmosphere is odored by their sweet
aroma and we say amen, with ready fer-
vor, to Beecher's sentiment that "Elowers
are the sweetest things that God ever
made and forgot to put soul into So
we say, also OF the following sentiment Of
one of Natures own poet-biographers:
rFrom Mra. Nortoas " Child oftac E,ands."1
Oh flowers, oh gentle neyer-fallng friends,
Which from the worlds beginning still have
smiled
To cheer Life's pilgrim as he onward wends,
Seems not your soothing influence, meek
and mild,
Like comfort spoken by a little child,
Who in some desperate sorrow, though he
knows
Nothing of all LIES grieving, dark and wild,
An innocent compassion fondly shows,
Aud fain would wend Us back from fever to
repose.

SINCE Judge Bowiin, of Missouri, had an
interview with President Buchanan, we have
been eble to learn the general character of
the demands which will be made upon the
weak little power, Paraguay. In the first
place, an explanation and an ample apology
for the indignity offered to the American flag
will be required. In the second place, full
indemnity will be demanded for the South
American Navigation Company for the losses
sustained by them; and in the last place, a la
Chinois, ratification of the Schenck and
Pendleton treaty will be insisted upon. A
refusal to comply with either Of these de-
mauds win subject the poor little Paraguay
TO any superfuous shot that may be in the
magazines on board Of our little feet.

| On Friday, Saturday, and Monday last, tn
18th, 18th, and Goth of September, inst, "
are credibly irformed--indeed there is N
doubt about it--that secret caucus of tn
Buchanan office-holdeIs of Minnesota wa
held here in st. Paul, at the house of Survey
or General EMERSON, to deliberate upon wha
shall be the future policy Of the Democratic
party of this State. and also upon the bes
means of maintaining themselves in Office un
der the present difficult and trying teud ex
isting between BUCHANAN and DOUGLAS.
The ofice-holders were here from lar Ant
near. We learn that the chief fugieman II
getting up these caucuses and IN notifying BIZ

1t is significant TACT that EARL S. Coop

was in attendance and advising with them
| notwithstanding that only the other day be
described President BUCHANAN as tan old
| man. with few social ties, and few hamGn
sympathies, his mind naturally spent upon
himself, and the powers with which he is in
vested naturally used to crafty his ambition
and his rsD7ge-the two absorbing passions
Of sour old age"
Notwithstanding this foul abuse of their
President, Editor GooDRIcH, the chief Dou-
gas rganist in these parts, was received into
full communion in this Buchanan otfce-hold-
ing caucus-advised with-and tie policy
which he proclaims in his paper as that which
secures and maintains the present Douglas as
tendency in the party of this State-thds Policy
was formally adopted by this Federal Office
holders Caucus for their future, just as it has
been the Douglas policy in the past.
This policy is to ignore the Lecompten issue
er,tireiy-the practical working and result OF
which is to leave the Douglas and Rice men
in complete possession of the machinery Of The
party, and to prevent the formation of any
party for the President in Minnesota what
soeveri

The Contested Case---Riai- vs.. Barrett.

In this interesting and important case,
Judge Lakeland rendered decision this
morning in favor of the application Of Mr..
Blair, and peremptory order was given on
the Clerk of the Court to produce, without
delay, true and full copies of the ballots in
question.
Previous to rendering his decision, Judge
Lakeland gave carefully prepared digest 4.
szlenso of the laws of Congress on the sub
ject, aud of the arguments of counsel in tie
case. the great length OF which precudes US
from fayoring our readers with . copy of it in
this day S issue. The Judge assumed that he
had full power to order All examination OF the
ballots and to cause the same to be spread
upon the records Of the court, and declares
tie action of the county court in refusing ac-
cess to the ballots to be illegal without au-
tiority. The application of Mr.. Blair, as
well as the POSITIONS assumed by him, were
sustained in every particular.-S. Louis

Tho vote for Congress in the 9th district is
very close; 80 far as is known, Foster, Rep
has 865 majority in Hancock and 200 in
Washington county, while the Democrats
claim for Bradbury 1000 majority in Aroos-
took and 43 in Waldo, which is probably cor
rect. This allows Foster AZ majority. An
error is alleged however in the footing Of
Hancock and Washington in favor Of Brad
bury, so that the -officia. account can only de-
termine the result.
