STAND BY THE PRESIDENT
from the Delaware Gazette AMI, .,


Why should not every oyal democrat stand IN, N .
resident What has James Buchanan done that does
not tend to honor his country Not one single CHARGE
Oh he numerous ISLANDERS that have been cast upon the
pohuoa sea by the efforts of the p5c1G dena1ooss
hove fonoalon aud TO the democratic party
has been proven true On the contrary after all their
wicked maieYoenoe has been exhausted democratic
PRESIDENT stands erect and unsChed He is to-day as
he was in 1856 the acknowledged head and front of the
democratic party and its members should stand by him
His policy will sutely result to the advantage of the gov
ernmen and time alone is necessary to vndicate its wis
DOM Had not traitors to the democratic party who
were not accommodated with all the official patronage
they desired combined to defeat the wise recommended
lions of the President those recommendations would
have been followed and the whole country would have
been immensely benefited, while the democrac party
would have stood forth with greater power and with
more unanmity upon all the great national questions
than ever before. ..e q. -. .....
But the President of the United States Is ever sur
rounded by corer of polite arstocats as potent for
good or for evil the aristocracy which often enorces
obedience in the most autocratic governments Each
ambitious senator and each ambitious member of the
House has his demands, if they are complied WITH the
head OF the government is exalted if it is impossible to
comply with these demands the senator or the member
may deem himself second Warwick and at the sacri-
nee OF both his party and his country welfare hurl his
vengeful blows ut the head of both. James Buchanan
dared TO do what his conscience dictated to be right and
had he been sustained by the whole democratic marty "a
he should have been that party would now have been
proudly triumphant The President measures are now
beginning to be properly and appreciated let us
stand by bin little longer, while the rawlings of the
black republicans combined with Foneys traitors hurl at
his head their malicious lies and slanderous vituperaon
This combined onset will be made with redoubled
effort when passes the niche of the glorious tenn
pie Of the republic amid the plaudts of his whole coun
try, will be filled with the name of James Buchanan
Democrats, stand by the President The incongepial
mass which now appears advancing to the political as
tendency are only advancing to their political oblivion
1t will be as impossible for a Congress composed of such
materials to legisate to please each separate division of
such an incongruous in 1859 60 as it was In
lSa6-T Remember this and stand by James Buchanan
and the democratic party They are one and the same

LATEST INTELLIGENCE FRoN 7HE GOLD MINES
From the St Josoph's, ono. ) Gazette, April 81

tFrom the st. Joseph's, (hio.,) Gazette, April 81
We yesterday had the satisfaction of meeting Mr. VIM.
H. Branham, who left the Cherry Creek gold mines on
the 9th of March He went to that country last fall
reaching the dggngs the I'd of September He spent
the whole winter in prospecting and reports not differ
emily from the great majority of those who have written
back. He believes that those who are working even
with the Indifferent tools they have are making from
three to five dollars per day He stated to us that he had
no doubt but that miners with suitable tools will be
able to make ten dollars per day These are his exact
statements
He visited nearly the whole of the nuriferous region
His experience is that of nearly every one who ever en-
gagged in mining While may be successful another
within few feet may not be able to get the color He
confirms the report of the discovery of shot gold i'm the
mountains but says the in that quarter have pre-
vented any extensive prospecting.
Mr. b. will return to the mines soon as he considers
the sufficiently advanced admit of comfortable
travelling and advantageous mining He went out from
Kansas City by way of Bents Fort and was one of tho
first who went out 10 mine. He returned 10 Omaha by
way of Fort Keamy, Formerly he travelled over the
routes both from Leavenworh and this CITY, and from
personal knowledge of all of them he gives that from ST.
Joseph the preference
Mr.. Branham met one hundred wagons beyond Fort
hearny and twenty-six between there and Omaha He
met Messrs. Jack Henderson and Mccoy at South Lone
Tree, one hundred aud thiryve miles this side of Cher
y creek, getting along well, though they had suffered
some from the severity of the weather.
One hand-cart from Omaha had reached the mines be-
fore Mr. b left, having been only twenty-five DAYS on
the way Mr. Branham only eighteen days in reach
ing Omaha

POSTAGE TO TURKS ISLANDS

We requested to state that it is no longer ne
cessary to collect in the United States any British
postage upon iettors addressed to Turks Islands, and
forwarded in the mails to St. Thomas, arrangements
having been made by the British Post Office for levy
ing and collecting such postage the delivering Of

In future, therefore, the United States postage only
is required to be prepaid upon letters for Turks

the distance is over $500 miles.

MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS

The municipal election, which took place at An
napols, Maryland, ON Monday last, resulted in the
choice of the whole democratic ticket with one ex-
ception, by an average majority of ten votes. Mr..
William HARDWOOD, the mayor elect, is professor in
inc Naval Academy. Mr. John r. Magruder is the
only opposition member elected to the board of al
dermen AT Grand Rapids Michigan, the democrac,
were equally successful electing their entire city
ticket, with the exception of the treasurer by an
average majority of eghty-two votes. AS soon as
the result was announced, there was great rejoicing
throughout the city. Not so with tho democracy of
St. Louis. Filley, the black-republcan candidate
for mayor, elected by decided plurality. 1t
appears that the citizens of St. Louis prefer black
republicanism to the principles of the constitution
upon which this government was founded, and upon
which alone can i be maintained The result is SO
regarded by the blackrepubican organ in that city
and, blinded is it to the fact that tho adherens of
the American party, who refused to affiliate with
them in the recent contest, never can unto with
them in their sectionalism and war upon con-
stitional rights and privileges, that it speaks
of the future with tone of security which augurs
the best results. If in the last five or six years of
black-republican rule the public indebtedness has
been increased in the of t1Co millions of dollars
what exemption can they show for the future viii
not the patriotism of all good citizens be aroused
when they find their taxes increased in consequence
of the corrupt administration of their municipal af
fairs2 We feel satisfied that year or two more of
black-republican misgovernment in st. Louis viii
work entire change in the politics of its citizens

ANOTHER SHIPMENT OF PLANTS FROM CHINA.
few weeks ago, we announced that advices had
been received from Mr.. Robert Fortune by the Com
missioner Of Patents of the shipment of several cases
of seeds and plants from China, in December last

tree, and of the yang-mae. We have again the sat
isaotion to announce that the Patent Office is in re-
ceipt Of dispatches from Mr.. Fortune by tho over
land mail, dated at Shanghai, January o. in which
he states he had made further shipment
BY a late report of the Commissioner of Patents
we are informed that Gin order 10 secure the safe
propagation of the tea plants preparatory to their
