The article partially endorses the doc

holders and officers of the Massachusetts
Emigrant Aid Society were business men
whose object was, to make moneys I, ,by
planting capital in adysncc Of zpopula-

anticipations ofpecuniary profit, are foand-

AT the close ofthe article occurs the fol-

We, who'ye gathered childhood's flowers,

More of sunshine than of shade;

Lure her from this earth away;
Should the joyous heart grow cold,
And the shroud her form enfold;
And the haunts we've loved so long,
Cease to echo to her song;

What is Democracy?

This question is thus satisfactorily an
swered by Parson Brownlow Of The Knor-
vile Wing:
To be Democrat, in whom there is no
guile, man must swear allegiance othe
party ! IF the poriy hold separate creed
in each State of the Union, every, member
is required TO swear that there is no incon-
sistency in that! To be nationa', one must
follow every Democrat in the nation, ire
spectiye of his principles! And to be sec.
tional is to oppose anything said or propo
sed By the Administration! No man is to
be prescribed because be may reject any one
or even all the articles Of faith In the
articles of faith in the Democratic creed.
While any Interpretation given to any or
all the articles of she Democratic creed, by
any man, North or South, is perfectly legiti-
mate And call who remain in the organi-
zstion" OF the Democratic partys no matter
were born, what color, Of what faith, or
from what National State Of county organi.

rKEIrT, of South CaroliHa, recently'

which he makes some frank revelations. He
says that s'ihe country is rapidly becoming
abolitionized, and that lately the process
has been going on more than ever. That the
tendency viii probably cuiminute in the
election of Republican President in 1860.
That good policy demands that the South
adhere to the Democratic party for the
present, because the policy of that party has
come very much under the control of the
South, and ills in view of this ascendsncy
of the South in the councils Of the party
that he thinks the party purer than i has
BEEN" He says further, sstha. il the Re-
publican party succeed in 1860. the Union
must perish. 1t matters not who their leader
is, or what their platform of principles may
be, the ascencancy, if submitted to,s mnst
be the subjugation of the South; ard that
he would rather see the South rayaged by
mildew and blast, by pestilence and famine,
than see her proud head bowed to Black
Republican rule." s.ta- slf -.
With such men as leading spirits in the
councils Of our nation, liberty has but l:tt'e
to expect. He is in favor of the majority
ruling while that majerry is for slavery. He
is in favor of the Democratic party, becsl,se

The London Nelrs, of the 18th, contains a
letter from ST. Petersburgh which gives the
particulars Of gigantic fraud having been
played off on the Russisn Goverement by
an American company. Astronomical cal
culstions have shown that the actual dis
lance from St. Petersburgh to Moscow is
some so miles less than what it has usually
been reasoned. In constructing the Railroad
the company were paid so much per mile,
and in consequence of fraudulent measure
received one million of roubles more than
was due. The rolling stock of the Railway
is furnished by an American comgany at 50
much per mile, and in this department the
government has been swindled also. The
poles erected along the route were purpose
ly put in the wrong places to deceive the
government, which, effectuslly did,.
