RATHER FRIGID.

Some of our Democratic Lecompton cotem
poraries are just now engaged in quite cool
piece of business. Finding that their denun-
citation of those who, unlike themselves, with
consistency, opposed the Lecompton swindle,
was likely to drive large body of their politi-
cal brethren out of their organization, they
have changed their tune, and instead of ssread-
ing" the Anti-Leeompton men scout of their
party they appeal to them in the most plain
tive and supplicating manner not to forsake
them in this their day of tribulation; that as
Democrats they can differ on great National
questions, and yet it is the duty of each one to
adhere to the party, no matter how wrong it
may be; that if an error has been committed,
the way to remedy that is not to leave, but to
remain in the party; that if they do the latter,
their recent hostile attitude to the Admins
trstion shall be forgotten, and that they shall
again be considered as members in full COM
munion with the party, and entitled to share
its gifts and emoluments-savea and excepting
always John W. Forney. Now if that isn't
cool, we should like 10 know what Isl 1t is,
in effect, telling the Anti-Lecompton Demo-
Gratis that they can be twisted and turned about
at will by promises of office and political pre-
ferment that their opposition to Lecompton
was of little moment, and that the success of
their party should be considered as paramount
to even the principles of right and justice.
These immaculate Democratic editors might
as well be little palmer and tell their Anti
Lecompton brethren at once that they consd-
er them extremely gullible; that they expect
them to believe all they are told; and that
they will attempt to dupe them to their hearts
content. For our own part, We have better
opinion of the Intelligence and honesty of
those who, during the pendency of the late
strife, spoke ont fearlessly against wrong and
fnjustice-we believe there are many who will
hereafter refuse to act with the Buchanan par
ty, under whose sway Right has been trampled
down-the will of the majority overthrown--
our Industrial Interests ruined-and our coun-
try brought to the verge of bankruptcy.

Foreign NEws.-The steamship America,
from Liverpool on the 10th inst, arrived at
New York on the 23d. She furnishes three
days later intelligence. The America arrived
out at Liverpool on the 9th inst. The House
OF Commons had passed the India bill. Lord
Malmesbury announced that orders had been
issued for the withdrawal of British cruisers
from the coast of Cuba. The blockade of the
African coast is to be continued. There is no
additional information in regard to the Allan
tic Telegraph cable, as the Agamemnon has
not yet returned to Queenstown. The India
bill passed the House of Commons without a
division. The House of Lords passed the
Jew bill through Committee. The bill regu-
lating the government of New Caledonia pas
sed second reading in the House of Commons.
1t was generally supposed the Agamemnon
returned to the rendezvous in mid-ocean a
gain, to prepare for a fourth attempt. The
Niagara had taken in coal, and was ready for
sea again. The directors of the Atlantic
Telegraph Company will determine upon their
future plans on the arrival of the Agamemnon.
Her report of the accident is considered i'm
portant before taking further action.

MORE Centurion The Washington States
is down upon the Hon. John Appleton, Assis-
tant-Secretary of State, and reputed editor of
the Union. 1t says charges are made against
Mr.. Appleton of corruption, of using his po-
sition and influence to put money in his purse
to the tune of ten thousand year, or more,
and calls upon Congress for an Investigating
Committee to inquire into the facts in the
matter, and expose the truth to the public
gaze.

The Atlantic Telegraph is failure. The
result almost universally predicted, after the
experiments in the Bay of Biscay, has taken
place. Having made three fruitless attempts
in mid ocean, and having lost in all something
less than four hundred miles of the cable, the
Niagara and her tender have gone back to
Queenston, where at the last advices, the 9TH
er two ships of the squadron were hourly ex-
pected.

ANOTHER WAR.-We are o have a war with
Paraguay, very little nation, somewhere on
the map of South America. Paraguay being
small and not having much powder and shot,
cannot make much fight. They can easily be
whipped, and the Buchanan Administration
will have the glory. England insulted our
flag under Buchanan's very nose; Locofoco
newspapers blatherskited considerably; Gen.
Cass half conceded the Right of Search. and
John Bull said it was ssall rght.'' Locofoco
Journals tell US that the Administration has
nobly resented British insults Brigham Young
insulted the officers of the u. States, secuted
the power of the Government, and threaten
ed 'sto send old Buck to Kingdom come across
the lots" Mr.. Buchanan sent an army to
whip him into subsection, and then "made
treaty OF peace" If they go on this way,
the glory of the present Administration will
take all the iustre from that of Gen. Pierce.
and the conquest of Greytown will be thrown
into the shade.-DaiIy Neucs.

WAR ON DoUGLAs.-The Washington cor
respondent of the Philadelphia North .4ueri-
can says: ssAll the attempts to patch up
truce between the Administration and the
Douglas wing of the party have resulted in
confirming the original separation, and widen
ing the breach. And although the Union is
not allowed to be a recognized organ, still it
reflects the views of those in power whenever
required to do SO, and is the recipient of all
the patronage the Administration can confer.
For several days past, it has teemed with re-
views OF the positions taken by Judge Douglas
In his Chicago speech, which, if not direct
emanatlons from the White House, are known
to reflect and reiterate sentiments which the
PRESIDENT takes no pains to conceal. There
fore, the whole force of executive power is to
be thrown into the scale against him, notwith-
standing the recent ovcrturse towards concil-
iation which were very mistakingly made by
his friends.'

FAYETTE CoUNTY.-On Monday the 10th,
H. F. Swope, Sheriff of Somerset county
and James III. Benford, arrested man in
Brownsville, named U Underwood who had hired
horse and buggy at the livery stable OF Mr..
Benford last Saturday morning, representing
himself as brother-in-law of Mr.. John Davis
of Milford township, to whose residence he
said he was going. On Sunday at noon, not
returning at the appointed time, Mr.. Benford
in company with Sheriff Swope started in pur-
suit. He was traced from Somerset to New
Lexington, where he endeavored to dispose of
the horse and buggy. Not succeeding in ef-
fecting sale. he left in rather hurried man
ner taking the road leading to Connelsville.
On the summit of the mountain he left the
buggy and borrowed a saddle, stating that he
was going to Connelsvile to meet a friend.
1t appears that he kept the direct road from
there to Brownsville, where, thinking himself
out of immediate danger, he halted and again
offered the horse for sale. Having again failed
in procuring purchaser, he commenced i'm
blbIng rather freely, when suddenly hand was
placed upon his shoulder in rather an uncere-
monious manner, and he found himself in the
hands of an officer before he had time to say
ssJack Robinson.' He was taken back on
Monday night and lodged in Somerset Jail.
