New Years Dny.

Nh. EDIroH:--S Some compliment is due
to the ladies' Of our city for the pleasant
and agreeable manner with which they
received their gentlemen friends upon
New Years day, and if the spirit then ex
hibited may be taken as an indication Of
the failure we must hope that feeling Of
good fellowship will prompt US to cultivate
friendly relations for the year to come and
ever afterwards.
The tables spread before US were dressed
out with as much profuson and taste as
can be found in New York or Boston, and
the ladies that presided over them have
won hosts Of friends. A happy New Year
to all Of them -..ss
On Monday last the ladies who kept open
house Oh New Years day, returned the
calls" and visited the gentlemen at their
dwellings or places of business, and We
are happy to say, were handsomely enter,
tanned by the "rougher SEX" A number
Of young bachelors dubbed together and
kept open house." By invitation we Wis
tied their quarters. and were met ut the
entrance by one Of them in spotless linen
and shirt collar OF huge dimensions, who
otficiated as porter, and ushered US into
the sumptuous apartment which had been
decorated for the occasion without re-
gard to expense" The baches were seat
ed around the room, IN the position they
received their lady visitors, demurely
smoking their pipes. The centre of the
table was graced by very large cabbage
! in which was embedded cross cut saw.
This was denominated 'fruit cake" and
visitors were served with pieces sliced with
the saw. Immediately over the table,
suspended from the ceiling. was large
bologna sausage, which, like huge pen
dulum, swung lazily back wards aud for
wards. A cold buckwheat cake, reposing
under canopy of sour krout, was distin-
guished as jelly cake. A silver fruit dish
contained lot of turnips, which were
served as . Bungo apples )" aud raw on,
ions and butter were passed around to-
gether. Upon another table were numer-
Gus bottles of wine, and one containing
ink, which was highly recommended as
Ethiopian wine from the Black Sea" and
one gentleman became so captivated with
the euphoneois naune that he INDUCED in
a draught Of the sable beverage. Pipes
and tobacco also entered largely into the
entertainment, and as dessert a bottle la
! beiod Castor Oil, and small box con
tanning sunday globuIar atoms, were pro.
duced.
The entertainment was gotten up Out
OF no disrespeCt, for those who had 50 hos
! pitably entertained the gentlemen on Sat
urday, bu, simply 10 add variety TO Tn,
festivities OF The holidays, and liz no in
stance did the eecentriclties OF our bache
lor friends give offence.
4 Altogether the holidays jus, past have
been season of unalioyed enjoyment
among the people OF Sioux City, aud al
seem to have been benefited by the civil
ties Of the occasion, and the friendly 90
servance Of the customs usual y" -'~'

Besides, they gave their locai press mos.

The Washington correspondent Of the
New York Herald writes as follows
The clergy Of Mexico sent, about a year
az, an agent of high position to England,
France and Spain, to obtain favor and as
sistance from these powers TO cha nge Mex
leo into a monarchy, and II place "a
OF Lon Carlos on the throne. The Bgit
scheme Louis Napoleon secretly favor
Ca u, AS dld "f"v '"e spanish government.
Had England asseuted, and been wiling
to risk the consequences with the United
States, there is no doubt the attempt would
have been made.
The real purpose Of such large ne
Of Spanish AID French war vessel, on the
co@st Of Mexico is for an object beyond
that OF pressing claims aud redressiUg in
Juries To Spanish or French subjects
Such large force for such pretended
purpose is unnecessary. The fact is not
wiihstanding the assurance of the minis
tiers OF these nations to Gen. Cass that
there is no design to make conquest or to
seize the territory OF Mexico, and that il
is only the exercise Of right of redress,
this Is but d pretext to cover a direct in
teryention in the affairs OF Mexico.

ONGANIZE.

4 late aumber of the Burlington Ca
zetse offers some timely hints with regard
to he necessity Of early action on the part
Of the Democratic State Committee.
Il may not be necessary that such &C.

and sl3cient measures should be taken to

sloo 10 evident TO the most casual observ.
o.. Az yet there is no Democratic party

and ever eager for the fray. This want is
felt moro seriously in our new State be,
cause 80 many agencies are at work un,
dermining what little organization does
exist. Local and individual interests aud
prejudices have sprung up in nearly every
county in the State, which have formed
new business and personal, and to great
extent, new political associations, thus de-
ssroying concert Of action, weakening par
~ attachments, and sundering party ties.
In this warfare Of personal interests and
aninositie local matters have been every
thing, while state and national questions
have received but meagrc consideration.
On the other hand the Republicans are
we'll drilled, accoutred, and all in line at
the sound Of the rereille. They have all
the preparations for making thorough
canvass and marshalling all their strength.
The consequence is witnessed in the re,
cult Of the last State election. The oppo-
sition triumph was not one of principle
but Of superior discipline. Had the full
Democratic vote Of the State been polled,
and the merits of our position properly
and fully discussed before the people of
al parts Of the State, there would have
been cause for rejoicing over our achieve.
ments. Our past inactivity teaches les
son and moral which should not lie lost

In these times Of agitation, when COM

for iniaming the passions and exciting

their revolutionary dogmas from calm
and rigid scrutiny, it becomes the friends
and ready to battle for fraternal feeling
and good government. All that the De
n,ocracy need is TO have their position

no new thing for us to undergo temporary
defeat from the misrepresentation and
calumnies Of our enemies, but never has
TIE enlightened Judgment Of the people
