Comfy Meetings,

We are receiving from every portion Of the State,
the proceedings of county conventions, all of which
shall appear IS soon as we can find room for them.
We are pleased with the general harmony Of senti-
ment indicated by the resolutions of these various
meetings, and their close adherence to the time
hCnOred principles of the Democratic faith. All OF
them we believe, endorse The Administration, and
spprove the official cOndu ct of Gov HARRIS Most
of the resolutions have received suggest further
reforms in the Currency of The S ate. We hope
the counties which have not done So will hold their
conventions and appoint full delegations TO attend
the convention at Nashville, Oh the l7Ih Of March.
We desire and expect to meet that occasion, true,
tried and earnest Democrats from every county in
the State, all animated with an ardent devotion TO
their principles and their party, and fred with q
determination and zeal in the cause, which in the
next contest will sweep away the last remnants of
KRowsNotbingism and overbear all opposition.

Birds ON EeaIher.

The secret Partially which the Know Nothing
leaders have long cherished fer the Black Repub-
licans is gradually leaking cut. The Louisville
Journal has openly proclaimed It's anxiety for the
establishment and ascendancy Of party in which
"tbe North shall have the prepOnderating voice"
The Nashville Banner expressed its sympathy with
the Black Republicans in the late struggle in
Pennsylvania, and says it can imagine no oircum-
stance in which it would prefer the triumph Of
the Northern Democracy to the triumph of the
Republicans. The Richmond Wing is proposing
terms of alliance alike destructive to the interests
of the South and humilisting to the Southern men
who accede to them. BELL and CRITTENDEN have
received the fraterRal congratulations of GREEDY
and BURLINGAME as the price Of their inhdelity to
their own constituents. SEWARD has boosted that
the Republicans will extend their organisation
into the slave States, he has ezutingy proclaimed
that the Sou hern people are subdued in spirit"
In late number of the Trenton Standard, a
Know Nothing organ, we find that Journal declar-
nights preference for WIN. II. SEWARD over JAMES
BUCHANAN for the Presidency. We admit that We
are not astonished at the confession, however
tifying it may be. We reason why the Sans
dard and other organs of that party should not af
hliate with he Black Republicans. They have been
constantly labOring for the same cause ever since
they united with them in denouuciug the Kansas
Nebraska bill They have been encouraging the
growth of sndslsVery, by the concessions
they have made to the fdDalcism of the North.
They have been assisting them in their attempts to
break down the Democratic party, the only bull
Wsrk of Southern rights. They have Joined with
them in denouncing Democratic Administration
for its fidelity to the Constitution and its resistance
TO sectional aggression. They have borrowed the
very words Of GIBDNGs and SCNNER, TO hurl them
in fierce anathemas against Democratic President
for advocating the admission of Slave State into
the Union. They have provoked the insults which
SEWARD has uttered against the South. Why should
they resent them They have been his allies and
colaborers. Why should they not support him? We
see no reason why men who endorse JOHN BELL and
EMMERsON ETHERIDGE should refuse TO vote for
SEWARD. They all three voted together on vital
questions involving the interests Of Slavery, and we
should not be surprised that paper which has supN
ported BELL for the Senate and ETHERIDGE f.r the
House expresses preference for WIN. II. SEWARD
over JAMES BUCHANAN for the Presidency. There is
nothing in the conduct sentiments Of the opposi-
ton organism this State, prevent them from giving
Mr. SEWARD cordial and hearty support. They
think slike, let Them act together. They birds
Of feather and should be found in the same flock.

A Cure FOR DRUYKESNEss-Dr. Back, Of Dant-
zie, has just made curious discovery. He has
found an aatidote, rather a counter poison, for
ardent spirits. 1t is mineral PASTE which he en-
closes in an olive aud which, once absorbed, de-
stroys only the rising effect, but likewise the dis
5strous consequences OF drunkenness. He tried
several experiments on a Pole, an irreclaimable
lruukard. The individual, named Radevil, sEal-
owed three bottles of brandy in succession, and
after each bottle ate olive prepared by the docs
tor. he experienced neither the effect Of drunken
ness nor the slightest sickness.

decrease OF THE NAvY.-While the mercantile
tonnage of country exceeds that of Great Brit>
ain, and is much larger than that Of France, our
Navy is the smallest Of all the Navies of Christen-
dom. 1t is not only the smallest, but it is princi-
paly composed of call vessels. the largest of which
could easily be knocked to pieces by a steam gun
boat carrying single gun. The pay of its officers
is Inadequate to their support, and they were not

other profession, we might expect general STAN

than that of q service which encounters twice the
hsrdships and perils that soldiers are called upon to
endure. When we add to this the fact that promo
motion in the Navy is so slow that our lieutenants
grey bearded, it is difficult to see any induce
ments which can tempt aspiring spirit into the
Navy or prevail upon him to remain there except his
utter unftness for any other occupation.
It's to be hoped that Congress- its present ses-
sion will increase our naval strength, TO afford
additional security to enormously increased COM
merce, and that, above all it will do Justice to the
gallant officers of the Navy, placing their pay on
par with that of the Army, and showing them in all
respecsthst encouragement and consideration which
are due to a branch of the service that has done
more than any other for our national renown in the
past, and is our main dependence for the future
