Come. Let us Reason Together.

Come, Let us Reason Together.
The question whether the Democratic
party of Harrison shall concentrate its
strength and preserve its ranks unbroken
at the ensuing spring election, is one
which at this time most occupies the at
tention OF those citizens of this county
who pay attention to politics
The question is simply whether our
foes or our friends shall enjoy the honor
and emoluments we have to dispose of.
The Democratic party of Harrison, with
liberality which amounted to almost
prodigality, shared these fruits Of politi-
cal victory with their opponents, until at
a time when confident of success they
promulgated their desires and intentions,
and resolved in secret conclave, that no
Democrat should be elected to any Office,
however humble. The ingratitude with
which our opponents met our generosity
has proven them unworthy OF the consid-
Grafton extended to them. and has, Gauss
ed the Democrats to draw party lines
tighter than ever before. And in this,
every unprecedented mind justties them.
The Democratic party, believing that
the perpetuity of its principles was nc
cessary for the preservation of our gov
eminent in its republican purity, has long
labored 10 maintain them !; and the una
nimity with which it has been sustained
by the county, clearl y proves that it was
right in the positions it has assumed.
The present is a proud day for the De-
mocracy, particularly of the South, and
its friends should not permit themselves
to fritter away its advantages SO dearly
earned, and allow it to become divided
and distracted by the Vaccinations Of
its enemies, that it may fall victim to
their rapacity.
No one but those exclusive egotists OF
our opponents who arrogate to themselves
all the virtue and intelligence, will deny
that we have men in our own party as
competent to discharge the duties Of
our public offices, rs there are out of it.
This being the case, then, who would not
rather bestow his favors upon friend
than an enemy. This can only be done
by concentrating the strength of our party
upon some one candidate for each Office,
by making nominations.
The best way of making nominations
has long occupied the attention of all po-
litical parties. There is probably no plan
which cannot be abused by tricksters and
made liable to some objection, in the alb
sence Of sufficient interest being taken by
the people to prevent it. But the manner
adopted in this county, places it entirely
in the hands of the people themselves. by
giving every Democrat the privilege OF
attending the polls and voting directly
for his choice.
We hope there will be full turnout
OF the Democracy Of Harrison county Cd
the 22d of April. that there may be q
full expression Of the preference Of our
patty for all the offices, and then who
can doubt our success?
a large number of the other counties OF
the State have already organized and
made their nominations, and the results
have been gratifying.

BURIED AL1vE.-A letter dated Hol-
land, Erie county Pa, March Is. says:
A very affective dispensation of Provi-
dence has taken place within twenty
miles Of this place. A Presbyterian min
lister named Reed was going to attend a
meeting OF the presbytery. He stopped
over night with another minister at a
private house. Mr.. Reed was taken with
fit in the night and it was supposed he
had died. The other minister being in a
hurry to get to the meeting in season had
him buried next day. On his return from
meeting he left word at Oxford that their
minister was dead and buried. His
friends went Immediately to get his re-
mains and bring them to Oxford when to
their great sorrow they discovered that
he had been buried alive. The cover of
the coffin was split. and his shroud was
completed torn off and turned nearly on
his face. He was bachelor, and very
worthy man. His dreadful death is
much lamented.

Senate Proceedings ON Monday Night.
Public attention will naturally be
drawn TO the protracted session of the
Senate on Monday evening and night,
prolonged to six O'Clock on yesterday
morning. Proceedings in that body 80
unusual demand explanation. The bill
to admit Kansas into the Union has been
under discussion for long time. and has
already received full share of the time
and attention of the Senate. A very
large number Of senators have spoken,
by much the greater number of those
from the opposite benches. The public
interests while the Kansas question is be-
fore the Senate are sure to be neglected.
Most important measures call loudly up
on the patriotism Of the Senate for atten-
ton. Nothing can be done till this bill
is disposed of. A clear minority of the
body are ready to vote upon it and pass
it. A strong minority are determined to
defeat any vote upon the bill itself. That
is their great object. The majority Of
the Senate are clearly for admission; the
minority are factiously opposed to admis-
sion. The Senate have no rule for the
RtSNISAS 4uOSblOh
can bring on vote upon the main issue
That has been regarded as unnecessary
in a body SO dignifed, so small. and so
fair. How do the minority receive this
principle of legislative comfy extended
to them by the majority? BY persistent
ceaseless motions, looking solely to delay
and putting all parties on their endu'
rance. The opposition deliver long
speeches, indicating the rights of the
majority to control, and then set to work
on the indulgence OF that majority to de.
feat it-not only in its efforts to obtain &
vote on the pending measures. but upon
every other measure which looks to the
maintenance of the government. We
like to call things by their right names
In this spirit we have no hesitation in de
nouncing the republicans of the Senate
as they are seen by their acts, as rea
traitors to the country. If they have the
voIes to defeat the bill, lei it be done; il
they have not the votes. they are unman.
" and unworthy senators to club togeth.
er to prevent decision. We are told
that they have held caucus to detail
the needful number Of their party to re.
lay in service, so that part of their for.
ces may be constantly at rest. Such is
the spectacle which is presented of the
conduct of faction and meanness in the
Senate Wash. Union.

1.-The women tie a bunch of grass to
one end of a reed, about two feet long.
and insert it in hole dug as deep as the

sand firmly around it. Applying the
mouth to the free end of the reed, they
form a vacuum in the grass beneath. in
which the water collects, and in a short
time rises to the mouth. IL viii be per-

have been applied in many cases, in Diff.
ferents where water was greatly
needed, to the saving Off life. Il seems
wonderful thattit should haverbeenq now

himself in an arm chair, and some inferior
mandarins who have pressed in after him
stand around and make him little court.
The officers who fill the room are pass
ing to and fro upon their duties, and of
course refrain from staring at him. Yet
no one can look upon that face without
feeling he is in the presence OF an extraor-
binary man. There is ferocity about that
restless, rowing eye which almost makes
you shrink from it. 1t is the expression

CAPTURE OF THE TREASURY. a..
For six days the western gate had
been open, and exit had been denied to
neither men. nor goods. nor treasure.
Surely there could be nothing lost to re-
ward the eaptors. How can we restrain
our minds to comprehend the stolid, stu>
pid confidence of these Chinese officials :?
The treasury was full of silver, as full
probably as it ever was. AS many as
ffty-two boxes which man could not
singly lift, were found, and sixty ight
packets of solid ingots. There was also
store>h house of most costly Mandarin
fur dresses, lined with sable and rare
furs, and there was room full of copper
cash. Now a strange scene occurred.
The instructions were to bring away any
bullion, but to touch nothing else. These
orders were obeyed with strange and
self-denying fidelity. The soldiers and
officers with difficulty turned their eyes
away from the rich dresses. But how to
remove the heavy load of bullion
Crowds mad assembled in front, and a
happy thought occurred to one Of the Off
GERS, "a dollars worth Of cash to every
coolie who will help to carry the silver to
the English camp" In moment the
crowd dispersed in search Of their BAN
boo poles. and in another moment, there
were q thousand volunteer Cantonese con-
tending for the privilege of carrying for
an enemy their city's treasure. With
thier stipulated strings Of cash around
thier neck, away they trudged with the
English soldiers and the sycee silver.
