BURp AND BLANNERHAssET.-In noticing
the death of R. S. Blannerhassef, Esq,
of St. Louis, a nephew of the subject of
Wirt's celebrated apostrophe, Mitchell
writes in the Southern Citizen:
We knew him well, admired his tai
ents, and enjoyed his friendship. He
was a most genial and courteous Irish
gentleman, extensively known and high
" esteemed in his adopted STATE, but
especially dear to his own family, who
were all enthusiastically devotedto him.
He seldom spoke Of his cousin end his
misfortunes; but had in his possession
the manuscript journal kept by Hermann
throughout all his transactions with
Burr-the same documents from which
Mr.. Davis, in his life of Burr, has given
several extracts. We have heard thai
it is the intention of a member of the
family at St Louis to edit and publish
that journal, together with some letters
throwing light on a transaction If
which Americans, especiallyof the West
will never cease to take an interest.

THE FRENCH SLAVE TRADE.-A private
letter received at Washington City on
the 9th ults, from Loango, coast of Afri-

nam Of apprentices, and that a ship,

with negroes for Martinique. A French
war steamer lay along side to protect
her from the English cruisers, who
would have seized her but that she had
a French Naval officer on board will
orders to the French commodore to pro
tect her. The English are also using
negroes as slaves at Sierre Leone. Tht
French and English governments are
participating in a trade which they affec
to deem SO hideous. A b%arrracoon ha,
been built by the French at Loango t
be used for the sa~fe-keeping of tn.
slaves until they are ready for shipment
There is no secret in this business, AM
no disguise is attempted.

FROM WAsHINGroN.-The House went
into a Committee of the Whole on the
printing of the Deficiency bill. Davis,
of Mississippi, made a speech against
Free Sellers and the North, and threat
ened war against it. Gibbons asked if
he would attack the Western Reserves.
Davis replied yes, for there resided the
meanest and worst Abolitionists in the
whole country.
In the Senate, Pugh presented a reso-
luton from the Ohio Legislature. endors-
ing the Administration but instructing
her Representatives and requesting her
Senators to vote against the admission
of Kansas under the Lecompton or any
Constitution, not accepted by the vote
of the people. Wade denounced the
Ohio Legislature for it's cringing policy
towards the Administration.

MONEY MARKET.

The money market. says the Courier
of the LIST. inst, continues to strengthen.
The statement of the banks shows a
plethora Of resources, fully ample to
protect double the business done now
The Bank of Louisiana, without includ-
ing the dividend of $4,000 payable to-
day, shows fifteen hundred and twenty
two thousand surplus, or above the de-
mauds of the law. The four old banks
exhibit a surplus Of over $4,000, 600,
sufficient for a basis Of $40, oo0, 900 ex-
pansion. The free banks-the Southern
Bank particularly-are all strong
With all these favorable appliances bu-
siness is contracting daily. So little
paper is being made that the business of
brokers and shavers is almost obsolete.
The exchange market declined to-day.
Some of the banks sold checks on New
York at par. Outside figures ruled from

sD>The New York News, in abiding
to the position of the Democratic press
of that State, in support of the Admins
tration on the Kansas question, says:
Of the seventy Oh eighty Democratic pa
pers in New York, not one, we believe,
has varied a hairs breadth in it's sup
port of the President and Of the princi-
pies laid down in his unanswerable mes
sage on the Kansas question. They
are a unit, and stand by the Executive
as firmly and proudly as when battling
for his election. And there they will con-
tinue to stand. The Democracy of this
State have seen nothing as yet ~calcula-
ted to wean them from the support of
one who holds the helm of State with a
steady hand, and who is guided by the
principles of the Constitution and those
of the party which placed him in power.

THE MISSION OF DEMOCRACY
WHERE WE STAND.

The Democrat is uncompomisingly
Democratic in all predictions and faith.
TIE party we believe to be right; we
believe we are upholding the Constitu-
ton in attaching our faith to the princi-
pies advocated by the party-and shall
make wal upon all factions and isms
afoat in our land, darkening the bright
skies of our national horizon with the
shadows of their repulsive histories,
and exerting a tendency to destroy our
country's prosperity, to weaken the
bonds of brotherhood between rival Sec
tons and render inexpensive to the
great heart Of the nation, the true prln-
ciples of that sacred bond Of union &C.
mented by the best blood of the Rovolu-
ton.
God grant that the intelligence and
patriotism of the people Of the South
may keep them intact from the fanati-
cism Of the North, which dares to spurn
our national flag, and claims allegiance
only to "conscience--a higher law"
and with the daring of a bold highway
man strike from the Flag Of our Union'
fifteen Of the stars, and say that South
ern States are incapable of enjoying
freedom, and deserve no place by the
side of Massachusetts.
We look to the Democratic party,
South and North, as the corner stone of
the Union. The assimilation of the en-
tire policy of our party to the interests
Of the people, the States and the Union,
renders another evidence in the ccumu
lative link, of the peoples faith in the
identity of the party and the true mis-
sion of q Democratic government.
Omitted we stand"-the'thorough and
complete adaptation of this proposition
to the end sought to be gained by the
trainers of the Constitution is evident
from the rapid progress which IL coun-
try has make under such a policy, and
to-day we occupy the proudest position
among the nations of the earth. In the
same ratio with our increase in wealth,
population and political grandeur, has
the genius of Truth and Religion, like
the ancient Shekinah, shed it's hallowing
influence upon the habitations Of our
countrymen, and no matter how varied
the creed, we bow at the shrine Of III
choice.
Let it ever be our proudest boast that
we have preserved inviolate, the sacred
institutions bequeathed to us by our
sires, so that ages hence, when another
Childe Harold
with sandal shorn and scallop shed"
shall so upon a pilgrimage through this
land of sovereigns, he may Lerc find
the beau ideal Of Freedoms Temple.

PACIFIC RA1LRoAp.-The bill matured
by the Pacific Railroad Committee of the
Senate, and reported in the Senate on
the 10Th ult., proposes to locate the rail
road between the Big Sioux and the
mouth of the Kansas river to San Fran
cisco. Alternate sections of land on
each side of the road are to be granted,
and $4,000 per mile advanced upon the
completion of every twenty-five miles Of
the road, until $25, oO0, 900 is reached
the amounts thus advanced to be return
ed in mail service and in transportation
of men and munitions of war. Five per
cent of the stock is to be issued. The
President is to receive the bids, make
the contract for twenty years, and locate
the road, having a view to economy and
the best route.

IMPORTANT FR0M MEXICO!
The City Baricaded and in Arms,

The news by the steamship Tennessee
is of the most exciting and important
character. The capital II barricaded
and in arms; the blood Of citizens has
already been shed; and a universal civil
war seems now to impend upon this
distracted and unhappy country.
The movement at the Capital was as
sudden and unexpected, as it was VIC
lent. The attention of all was turned at
the time to- the formidable coalition or
ganizing in the interior. There was at
first a hesitation to come hand to hand.
Firing was kept up all over the city,
from the streets and house tops, but no
combined movement was made. The
Radicals seemed to have the city all to
themselves, and continued to fan the
flames Of popular fury by incorporate
appeals like these:
