SO determined, we are told, was Mr.. Field
that nothing should mar the chance of the
success of the undertaking, as far as the
Niagara was concerned, that it rs believed he
would have insisted upon her masts being
cut away could such au operation have con-
duced to the grand consummation so de-
voutly wished for. The commander of tie

TO pull down, tear away, and otherwise
mutilate the interior Of his vessel that he had
to represent to the feverish gentlemen who
were disposed to push matters to an extreme
length, that it could not be done, that while
he would do everything in his power for the
success Of the great work, he could not chop

ILLINOIS DEMOCRAoY.-Whod desire that

Either we are in the right and occupy
high Democratic ground, or else Mr.. Buch-

State do not If we are right Mr. Douglas
Is wrong, and is bolter from Democracy,
and if boter, he must be taught that the
Democratic party never yet condescended to
lick the hand that struck it. If there is a
sincere desire on the part of Mr.. Douglas
for harmony in the Democratic ranks, let him
withdraw and bide his time Let him give
place to some Democrat whom we can trust,
and whose reelection will not be an iuuslt
to the President, as Mr., Douglas would be.
We, as a National Democrat, do not seek to
divide and distract the Democratic party but
we claim that one hours adherence to PRIN
CTPLE is worth more than whole lifeetme
of devotion to MEN. Mr.. Douglas has deser,
ted the Democratic party, by striking hands
with its foes and warning upon its principles.
We say be is not trustworthy. Let him 60

by side with them as he did last winter io
Congress and we viii unite with you on any
true man whose ambition will not run awuy
with his Judgment.
Don't ask us to give up everything and to
hug the viper to our bosom to be stung
the second time. 1t is asking too much. If
a union is, to be effected, the concession of
the DouglaStes must equal ours, and we are
willing then to admit them to full commu-

COMET OF 1858 This remarkable comet
(says the Albany Argus) is now visible to
the raked eye, as predicted by DR., Gould
some weeks ago. 1t is now only one hundred
and forty millions of miles distant and is
very rapidly approaching the earth, and
although already shows through a common
opera glass we'll defined tail We are told
that during the first week of October the
comet will be of the most striking bright.
ness, possibly the largest of the century, aud
at that time will be seen near Arcturus,
perhaps even surprising that brilliant star
in splendor. 1t is now visible for about an
hour after sunset and an hour before sunrise
in line with two stars called the pointers
and forming nearly right angle with these
and Arcturus. 1t is now best seen at four
o'clock in the morning. DR.. Gould also
suggested in the last number of his Journal
that from the similarity Of the elements il
was possible that this comet was identical
with the first comet of 1927, and also that Of
l764. This fact seems now, from the re-
cent observation almost certain, affording a
reasonable presumption that it is periodic
comet, whose period is about thirty one
years.
