Decay Of the Democratic Party.

The Memphis B,aletm. an old line Buch-
anan Wing journal, thinks it describes the
signs of disintegration and decay in the
democratic party-and this both in the Union
and here in Tennessee. 1t is high time the
editor of the Bulletin were sick of his DEM
Ocratic association; and we confess that his
powers of endurance have already disappoin-
ted our estimate of them. We have con-
sidered that the democracy has been afflicted
several years with the dry rot" but late
events indicate that it is going off of gal
Looping consumption" Thus discourses the
BULLETIN:
That such a germinal process is going on.
which may result in the growth of "A solid and
compact Opposition to the existing rule of
the democratic party. as that party is now
represented in the Administration at Wash
ington, is indubitahle. There are causes which
could not fail of such influences. Chief
among these is the palpabe fact. that it is no
longer the democratic party which elected Mr..
BUCHANAN, that is represented by his Admin
istration, but faction of that party. whose
heads are scheming for the succession and
the spOils of Office. Prnfigate and extrava-
CANT in expenditures, their whole power and
influence Is being eXerted to break down one
of their rivals. Hedged around by the
egotism Of official position, breathing only
an atmosphere of official selishness and cor
ruptlon, they have Forgotten the people. who
spake them into existence, or if remembering
them do so only audaciously to attempt to
seduce by corruption or to intimidate them.
The people would he false to themselves if
there was not amongthem that stir of impulse
to resistance, which is alike the bond of pO-
litical party and the fouutain-source of poll
teal revelation.
Locally, here in Tennessee, likewise, there
are causes to produce changed party rela-
tons. Within the bosom of the democratic
party there has, in these latter times, grown
up a sect of RadicaLs who, claiming to he the
purest of all pure democrats. would plunge
the State into all the evils and injuries of a
transition stage Of 'tinkering with the cur
rencv," in the wild hunt after hard money!
These gold hunters would upset the whole
existing system OF ramfied credits in the
community, in order To effect their ideal of a
more perfect system-ignorant or regardless
OF the consequences. 1t requires no distin-
guishcd politician to awaken that practical
common-sense OF the people which will
decree, that if such be democracy, away with
i'll
What. then, with the SCREENINGS and plot
tings Of the back-stairs influences, upon the
Administration at Washington; and the head
long radicalism of the wOuld-be leaders of the
democratic party here in Tennessee, the NEW
party" is making itself fast enough. We hope
no one will interfere with these agencies"

LATEST ARRIVALS FROM THE MINES!
FINE SPECIMENS OF GOLD.

FINE SPECIMENS OF GOLD.
18th. we learn that Mr.. Philips Peers, a gen.
for the last fonr years, has Just arrived in
that city, direct from the Pixies Peak mines.
bringing with him fine specimens of gold
obtained in the diggings. Mr.. Peers corrObor-
ates the statements we have heretofore pub
lished, and brings with him incontestibIe evil
dence of the existence of the precious
metal" in that region.
The richest ''diggings" vet discovered are
on the South Platte, about three miles above
Cherry Creek. The surface of the country
at this point is rolling prairie.
The miners informed Mr.. Peers that they
were making from three to four dollars per
day. They were not. however, dcvoting much
attention TO mining, but We're preparing
for winter. 1t was the intention of a por-
ton of them to retire into the valley,
some sixty miles below the mines, and remain
there till spring. They were generally very
well provided.
Snow had fallen on the mountains before
Mr.. Peers left.
The miners are sanguine that the mines
will pay. 1t is believed that they are as rich
as the California mines

and familiarity with the production, justilies
the conclusion.
Quite large number of emigrants were
met on the way, destined for the gold region.
Mr.. Peers thinks it is too late in the season to
venture there, but expresses entire confidence
in the mines.-S. LOUIS Democrat, Der. 81.

Conviction or Geo. w. shaw.

On the 18th inst, we gave the particulars
of a trial for Kidnapping in progress at
Pittsburg. The cause was given to the jury
on the 18th. and after an hours consultation
a verdict of conviction was rendered. The
Pittsburg Chronicle in regard to the charge of
Judge McCIURE, says
His honor held that under the statute the
Commonwealth was bound to prove affirma-
lively that Ferris was free negro, and that
unless they did they could not hope for con-
viction. With regard 10 that part of the sta
tute making il an offence TO attempt to decny
Ferris out of the State his honor remarked
that unless there was privity between the
party attempting the enticement and the oh
ject of the enticement, there could be no Of
fence. The unsuccessful attempt of the pri-
soner to induce others to attempt the abduc-
tion of Ferris did not constitute an attempt
under the statute. With regard to the com
mon law counts of the indictment. his honor
left ii to the jury to say whether or not the
prisoner was guilty under them. If they be-
lieved Ferris citizen of Pennsylvania. domi-
ciled in the State. and that he was abducted
thence, they would convict the prisoner; but
otherwise he was entitled TO a verdict of &C
quittal at their hands. The charge altogether
was highly favorable to the prisoner, and
present who predicted verdict in his favor.
The jury left the court room shortly before
II O'Clock, and an hour later agreed on a
verdict.
We have carefully read the evidence, as re-
ported in the Pittsburg Commercial Journal,
together with the charge Of the Judge, and
we find nothing in either to warrant the ver-
dict of the jury. SHAW, the defendant, had
been instrumental, in the capture of fugitive
slave, and returning him to his owner. This
was an offence against Pittsburg fanaticism,
and negro-worshipping jury determined to
punish it, law or no law. A gentleman from
Alabama, who owns the mother of the slave,
Ferris. on whose premises he was born in
slavery, and who sold him to RAGLAND, his
present owner, was present. and testified to
these facts, but the jury assumed that he was
free man. and made out verdict of convic-
ton This is an Infamous outrage, but moth
ing more than might have been expected of a
Piltsburg jury. The counsel for SHAW has
moved for new trial. and in case it is not
granted, will appeal.

A Wifess Influence.

Judge O'Neal, in the Yorkville Enquirer,
tells the following of Judge William Smith, Of
South Carolia: O.
He had the rare blessing to win the love of
one of the purest, mildest, and best women,
whose character has ever been present to the
writer He married Margaret Duff. In his
worst days, she never upbraided him by word
look. or gesture, but always met him as if he
was one of the kindest and best of husbands.
This course on her part hnmbled him. and
made him weep like child. This sentence,
it is hoped. will be remembered. was the
language of Judge Smith to the friend already
named, and to those who knew the stern.
unbending public character of the Judge it
will teach lesson Of how much a patient
wOmans love can accomplish He was at
last reformed by an instance of her patient
love and devotion, as he himself told it:

Court OF Common Pleas for York District.

Mr.. Smith was not in his office-he was on

set down in the Office TO the work of issuing

he saw light in his Office and stepped in
and to his great surprise saw his amiable
wife, who bad just completed what ought to
have been his work, with her head on the
table and asleep. His entry awoke her. She
told him what she had DONE and showed him
her nights work-fifty writs and processes
This bowed the strong man, ''he fell on his
knees. implored her pardon, and then and
there faithfully promised her never to drink
another drop while he lived The promise, -
says my friend Col. Williams. che faithfully
kept" and. said the judge to him. from that
day. everything which touched turned to
gold" His entire success in life." says Col.
Williams, "he set down to his faithful observ-
ance of this noble promise"
No better eulOgy could be pronounced on
Mrs. Smith than has Just been given in the
words of her distinguished husband. The
reformation of such "a man as William Smith
is a cbaplet of glory which few women have
been permitted to wear. To the people of
South Carolina, and especially of York
District, certainly no stronger argument in
favor Of temperance, total abstinence, need be
given.
