naent of the Utah affaif. without the eEfh-
sion of blood. He compliments the officers
of the army there, and expresses satisfac-
ton with the course of Governor Cum
ming, and hoaorably mentions Col. Kane.
He refers to the importance OF the treat
les recently negotiated with China and Japan
and thinks the result in the former case was
justified by our neutral policy.
He congratrlstes the country on the abaa-
donment OF the right to search by Great
Britain, and in reference to Central Ameri-
ca, says that negotiations are still progress
ing. and he has not vet abandoned the hope
of success. He refers TO what was stated
at the last session of Congress in that con-
nection, and that his views on the subject
of the Istbmus routes accord with the poll
cy heretofore announced by Mr. Cass. His
only desire is to keep the routes open. and
States than we expect other nations to enjoy,
bnt win not consent that they be closed by
the imbecility of the nations who reside
near them. He regrets that the Nicaragua
route has been closed. He speaks of the
necessity Of enforcing our claims against
Costa Rica and Nicaragua.
He speaks of Mexico as IN condition OF
civil war, with scarcely any hope of res
toration to permanent Government. He re-
fers to the causes which tended to rupture
of the diplomatic relations there; speaks
we'll of Mr.. Forsyth's efforts, and If il were
not for the hope of obtaining justice from
the Liberals, who now appear approaching
to favor, he would recommend the taking
possession of portion of Mexico sufficient
to indemnify US for all our claims and
grievances in the North of Mexico, border
ing on our Territory. But there are other
considerations which claim attention. We
are interested in the peace of that neigh
borhood. Lawless Indians affect our set
Elements in Arizona, and there seems nc
other way that this difficulty can be remoy-
ed than in establishing military posts ir
Sonora and chihuahua. He recommend:
that this be done, regarding Mexico in {
state of imbecility and anarchy.
As to Spain, he refers to the causes which
delayed the appointment of successor tc
Mr.. Preston, who viii go out with power:
to settle the difficulties with that Govern
ment if possible. He says Cuba ought te
belong TO the United States, and recommend:
that steps be taken for purchase. As we
acquire all new Territory by honorable ne
gotiation, this should not be an exception
He reaffirms his former opinion in favor
of specific duties on certain articles, and
submits the whole tariff question to Con,
gress.
He calls attention to the Pacific Railroad
and refers to the overland mails, as showing
the practicability of the route.
Among other subjects, he reiterates the
recommendation to establish a Territorial
Government in Arizona.

Eany human being, while it would, within a

and harmony to the Union. In that event

been violation of the Kansas and Nebras-

From the Wheeling Argus OF sa;urday.I
We have called upon the Democracy of this
county to organize. We have recommended the
neighbOrs of other counties. Here there has
been no response.
The Democracy of this county seem to suffer
all the disadvantages of minority and majOr-
ity-the weakness of the one and the distrac-
tons of the other. They are in the minority in
the county, but are part of majority in the Con-
gressional District, the State and the Union The
unity, compactness and zeal which should be-
long to n minority are broken up by the selfish
intrigues of set of men who strive for the
spells in the gift of au outside majority. We
are EcuTsed with close corporation of greedy
and unprincipled politicians who claim all offices
for themselves or their creatures, and who have
not the ability to fill the offices with credit, nor
souls to use thsm for the good of their country
or even their party. Some of them have little
money, others little demagogical art, all of
them great deal of envy and malice, land none
Of them any principle They toLerOte no tdsHt
or eRergy rirtue thrt is not subserUieHt to
their rnpacity They bug and sell one another
Nth tile OHces IF the phOpLe. Vcnal tricksters
themselves, they imagine all men of merit around
them to be equally mercenary, or finding them
NOT, persecute the virtue which shamcs them
selves. Above all, they balk every effort to give
expression and effect to the genuine voice of the
people. To this end they SOW disscnsions and
inStil distrust among the honest masses; they
md cannot succeed, and finally, when confusion
has done its work, they manage by some miser-
able intrigue to bring the grist to their own mill.
Thus the will of the people is perpetunlly para
lyzed, and clique of greedy cormorants fatten
upon the spoils of Office Ifthey even fail to get
place into their hands-they endeavor to fill it
with Poltroon whom they can overawe, or u
beggarly scoundrcl whom they can buy.
This nest must be broken up The people
must act. Otherwise, our party cannot succeed
and ought not to succeed. No party deserves
success which employs its power to pander to
the rapacity of an effete band of feeble minded
and sordid intriguers who parcel out all places
of public trust among themselves, upon such
principles rs govern banditti in dividing their
QUESTIONS. The people should look around for
men who have souls to love their country and
ability to serve her. They should insist that
nothing but public and private integrity, useful
talents and sound political principles shall be al
lowed to enttle any man to offick. They should
abhor and repudiate every thing like Demo-
cratic dynasty, and especially which deter
mines to rule or ruin, without having either ca
pacity or honesty or liberality. Let the BOur-
bOns 20 down and the people rise.

TuE DEMOCRATIC PARTY NOT DEAD.-Whcn
the monarch OF the forest fell sick, the vulgar
herd of inferior beasts suspended their mutual
animostics, and gathered around him with in
suits and reproaches. With base hoof the ass
smote his PROSTATE greatness. The wolf induI-
ged in howl of exultation over his decease, and
the hycna prepared to feast upon his carcase.
But the lion only stimulated death. In an
instant he sprang to his feet 'shoOk his invinci-
bic locks" and roared n defiance that sent ass,
wolf hyena and all, scampering away in such
terror as was never seen before.
The Democratic party is the sick lion of the
fable All its old adversaries, presnining upon
its apparent probation, makes no secret oftheir
exultation over its fall. 1t is abused by one it
is kicked by another, while the hyena of Black
Rcpublicanism grows with an Impatient aPpe-
tite for its carcaSe.
But this sort of syncope is not unusual with
the Democratic party. Presently the earth will
shake under its tread, the nfTaightstl air trenbe
with its roar, and the whole herd of beasts that
exult over fallen greatness and prey upon cor
ruption, will betake themselves to den and jun
