The Richmond Examiner, the leading
organ Of the Virginia Democracy, said,
on the 18th ult.:
"Now, we have already iniimated that
it is our purpose to support the nominee
Of the Charleston Convention, against all
corners, If the two-thirds rule is adhered
to and the Cincinnati platform adopted.
We shall TO preserve the harmony If the
Democratic party aud to save the Union

Judge Douglas if he is nominated. We
stand prepared to make any sacrifice of
personal preference to crush that lawless.

which Seward Seward, Greedy, Lincoln,
and Banks are leaders,"
The Shelby Volunteer, Of Indiana, in
noticing the invitation which has been ex-
tended to Senator Douglas to visit Indi-
ana, remarks:
ut is a gratifying fact'that the largest
list is from this county, numbering 2SS.
But a few days were allowed for getting

Douglas and his Friends.

We have, of late, beengreeted by many
of our old citizens, not political aspirants,
but good old farmers and mechanics, who
do their own reading and thinking
those who have watched the course of
Douglas in Congress and out Of it.
We have frequently heard them remark
that they would rather vote for Stephen
A. Douglas than any other man in the
United States for President. It is truly
surprising how much interest there is felt
among the people, out here. in regard to
the election of President in 1860. Quite
a number who were determined to read
us out Of the Democratic party twelve
ago, because we defended Doug
las on all occasions, are now willing to
admit that they belieUe Mr.. Douglass will
receive the nomination of the Democratic
party at the Charleston Convention.-F

BrOderick'S Estate.

The property Of the late Senator Bro
derrick in this city amounts to $3.50, 900,
encountered by $4,000 of mortgages
This is set forth by the petition Of d. G.
Coulton, filed in the Probate Court. II
also alleges that the only relatives and
h~eirs-at-law are Edmond WEIGH and Lucy
Brown, cousins in the. second degree
The said cousins append their assent to
the petition, as do also the creditors
These proceedings, we suppose, are based
upon the belief that Mr.. Broderick has
left no will. Various rumors are ahoat
as to this matter. 1t is scarcely possible
that Mr.. Broderick left no will. He was
uniformly careful in such respects. He
certainly did make a will before his duel
several years since with Mr.. Smith. It
is the opinion Of one who has been inlim-
ate with Mr.. Broderick for twenty years,
that the will then made is still extant, in
Washington. If so, by that will the dis
posiion-of his property must be decided.

Manifesto from ReTerdy Johnson.

A pamphlet by Reverdy johnson is
about 10 be published, entitled, Re
marks on Popular Sovereignty as main
tanned and denied respectively By Judge
Douglas and Attorney General Black.
He establishes the following propositions
lst. That Congress has no power 70
prohibit sIaveryin the u%norganized Terri
tories.
I'd. That Congress has no power to
prohibit slavery in the Territories, after
they have been organized under Terrific
rial form of Government.
Sd. That Congress has no power to es-
tablish slavery in a Territory. Slavery
is. the creature of positive law, which
may exist either by statute or custom.
A. That if Congress can neither pro-
hibit 0 establish slavery in a Terrific
ry, it.cannot iegislate TO protect Or regu-
late il.
9Th. Territorial governments can adj
NIT, protect or exclude slavery, at any
time during their existence.
In conclusion, he submits that the doc
tlluS VI 4OpuldI D"OsCiClSuty, uiailltal1Ou
from first to last by Judge Douglas, and
now so assailed by the Attorney Gener-
eral, has borne the c~learest and most ex-
plicit sanction of Congress, the Cincin-
natl Convention, and President Pierce,
and above all, of President Buchanan,
and II is with equal conviction of its ruth
that he asserts that without the belief in
The sincerity of such sanction, and espe-
cially he last. President Buchanan would
now be enjoying the quiet and leisure Of
Wheatiand, gratiied only by remember
ing the services rendered his country at
home and abroad, In other public, but,
perhaps. in his estimation, subordinate,
and less desirable station than the n in
which he now, as his friends assert, fig
ures so conspicuously ard honorably to
the country and before the world.

Austria, France and Sardinia.

There are conflicting rumors in Europe
as we learn by foreign papers brought
by the last steamer, respecting the peace
established by the Zurich Conference.
One account has il that Austria refused
to sign the treaty Of peace, considering
that the compact of Villa Franco has not
been acted up to, and making pecuniary
claims on Lombardy which France will
not, and Sardinia cannot accede 10. The
set-ofF to these claims would be the ex-
penses of the war, which, provoked as
it was by the tyranny of Austria in Italy,
ought not TO be borne by France and Sar-
DINA. On the other hand, it is declared
that the treaty Of Zurich would immedi-
ately be completed, after which there is
to be a conference of the Great Europe
an Powers, including England, finally to
adjust the affairs of Italy. Its also said,
but seems almost incredible, that France
makes a demand, upon the King Of Sar-
DINA, of an indemnity from Piedmont Of
the expenses of the war-almost incred-
ible, because Victor Emmanuel was not
allowed to have any voice at Villa Fran

visit t0 Mrs. P0lk.

A correspondent Of the Concord Patri-
OF, writing from Nashville, October s,
thus handsomely alludes to Mrs. Presi-
dent Polk:
With Major Eastman Of the Nashville
Union and American, | called yesterday
upon Mrs. Polk, who occupies the splen-
did mansion in Nashville, built by honor
able Felix Grundy and purchased by
President Polk of Judge Grundy's heirs,
to which he retired onleaving Washing
ton, and where, worn out by the cares
and anxieties of Office, he died some four
months after the expiration of his official
term. The mansion, surrounded as it is
by beautiful grounds, is one of the pleas
ATTEST residences in the city, and no one
who has had the pleasure Of meeting Mrs.
Polk needs the assurance that it is presi-
ded over with an afability and dignity
that makes it a center of attraction.
Mrs. Polk is probably the most gener-
ally known of any woman in America,
and is universally conceded to be the most
aimiable, accomplished AID intelligent
women of her time. She possesses that
graceful ease of mariner, tact and readi-
ness in conversation which makes any one
feel at home in her society, and renders
her conversation charming. She con-
tested the''palm of popularity evenly with
Mrs. Madison, and with that single ex-
ception was much the most popular lady
that ever did the honors at the White
House while here in Nashville, she is
regarded with a love and admiration that
approach reverence. Regularly on the
first Of January, the Legislature of Ten-
adjourns by formal vote to permit
the members to pay their respects to Mrs.
Polk-an honor never accorded to any
other person, not ever to General jack
son himself; and with the speakers of
both Houses at their head, proceed in a
body to her house. Their action affords
a fair instance Of the respect and es-
TEEN in which she is held.

leath 0f Lndge Mason.

The New York Express correspon-
dent, writing under date Of the Sd ult.,
gives the following particulars relative to
the death Of Judge Mason, the Minis
ter to France.
It has long been the custom Of many of
our c~ountrymen, who are resident or tran.
sient s~oiourners in Paris, to present their
respects to the Minister of the United
States on Sunday evening. Alarge num-
Der of ladies' and gentlemen dined at the
house of Judge Mason, yesterday, and
never had the hospitalitable host appear
ed more gay, or in better spirits. At ten
o'clock in the evening the Judge retired,
IN accordance with his almost invariable
habit. AT about one O'Clock In the morn
ing, Mrs. Mason hearing means in her
husbands room, rose and went to see
what had happened. She found the UNI
fortunate man iaboring under a terri 2
attack of apoplexy, and entirely insensible
to what was going on around him. The
alarm was given and the nearest medical
aid instantly summoned. DR.. Higelow,
the family physician, was also soon in
attendance, and every means in mortal
power was employed to stay the pro-
gress of the disease. Ali was, however,
in vain. After eight hours dreadful
suffering, accompanied byincessant vom-
of blood, death put an end to the
struggle.

The Steamer Omaha. JeWett
Wilcox, ESQ.

The friends of the teamer Omaha in
this upper country, and they are many,
will be pleased to know that, practically,
she will not change hands in consequence
of the death of her popular commander,
Capt. Wineland. The following we clip
from the ST. Louis. Bulletin of the Sd
Yesterday one-half Of the fine steamer
Omaha, one of the most popular packets
that ever travelled the upper Missouri,
was purchased by Mr.. Jewett Wilcox,
Mr.. P. S. Ray and Mr.. G. H. Avis. The
half thus disposed of was owned by the
late Capt. Wineland and w. A. Bennett.
1t was sold at the rate of $4,000 for the
whole boat. The three gentlemen who
have thus become owners in the Omaha
are experienced river men, and most po-
lite and accommodating steamboat officers.
OF Mr.. Wilcox, known so favorably as
he is, it is almost unnecessary for us to
speak. For the past five years engaged
as chief clerk in the upper Missouri
trade, the two first on the steamer Genoa
with Captain Throckmorton, and the llst
three with the lamented Capt. A. Wine
land on the Omaha, he has by his upright
and honorable course, won hosts of friends
both in this city and along the river.
Mr.. Ray has been with Capt. Wineland
for the past seven years, in the capacity of
mate, a safe guarantee of bis capacities as
a steamboat man, and his uprightness as
a man. Mr.. Avis has also been with
Capt. Wineland for the past eight years.
Thus three of our deceased friends en-
ployees and most reliable associates have
taken the place he so long and honorabiy
held. Under such circumstances we have
no fear Of the future Of the steamer
Omaha. That she may prove a profitable
investment to her new owners is the fond
desire Of all her friends and a%cquaint-
ances. The extreme dullness of the
times at present, coupled with the fact that
the Omaha is about 10 receive a complete
o~verhauling and through painting up, win
compel her owners to lay her by until the
spring trade sets in, at which time she
will again visit her numberless admirers
in the Upper Missouri, and we hope they
will Join in giving her that encourage
mentw we think she so richly merits.
