From the Bradford Ct) Telegraph, March lsl
The article in another column under the above caption
so fully expresses our own sentiment that we have but
little TO add saye our endorsement. We hold il to be
the duty of every democrat to sustain the admininistra-
ton. Not that he Is TO yield up the right of individual
opinion or of individual preference in all cases. Nor
that he is to play the part of a s~ycophant, and blindly
endorse every sentiment and every act OF the administIa-
ton. But to democratic principles as imbodied for the
time being in the man who stands at the helm OF gov
eminent to guide the ship of State, we believe democrats
are under obligation to yield a cordial and earnest sup
port. In no other way can that organization, the prin-
ciples of which form the basis and superstructure of our
government, be maintained. If as democrats, as lovers
of our country, North, South, East. and West, as desiring
the p~erpetuity of our free institutions, and as their great
conservatory, we do not sustain manfully the adminstra-
ton of our choice, whom against the most powerful OPP
position that was ever raised in this country, zee placed
in power, are we not derelict not only to our interests as
a party, but also to our country 7 There is no other
national party in existence none whose platform is broad
enough TO comprehend within its scope the whole coun-
try none whose history is SO interviewer with all the
records of the nation none whose existence has run
80 exactly parallel with the nation growth and prospect
ty none which has contributed SO much TO its continual
success none on which its perpetuity in so large a meas
ure depends. On account of some trivial matter, differ
ence of individual opinion or personal preference, shall
democrats fail cordially and earnestly to sustain q demo-
cratic administration We think not. The opponents of
the administration are the opponents Of democratic prin.
ciples, as we'll to-day as in 1856. Shall democrats join in
the clamor they raise against the men we have placed in
power We say by no means. The administration ought
to be sustained by every democrat in the land, not simply
because Mr.. Buchanan is at its head, but because fidelity
to democratic principles and to our country demands it.
Such are the views we entertain upon this point, and we
have purposely left out of view particular illusions to
men, because we believe that with the principle we have
laid down discussions about men have nothing to do.
Whilst, therefore, we would neither attempt nor desire
to read any man out ofthe party whose views Of men hap
pen to differ from ours, or esteem him any less a demo-
crat because his individual preferences do not coincide
with nr,re we still belieye that every democrat will coin
eide nth us in cordially sustaining the administration ue
have placed at the helm of State.

horrible. Three mrSdeross assaults, the victims 81
which are not expected 10 recover, and two suicides, with
a few " stabbing affrays, " constitute the list for Che day.
There was a meeting last night az the Westchester
House Of a few well-known democrats Of this city, the
purpose OF which was 10 take steps " TO remedy existing
abuses Of official position by representatives Of the demo
cratic party Hon. John Cochrane is said 10 have pre-
sided. Another meeting is shortly to take place at Tam
many Hall for the same purpose, at which the programme
and resolutions viii be fully explained.
The news from Europe by the Persia was considered
unfayorable in the street and in business circles, and had
a very depressing influence on the money and stock mar
ikets. If the tone Of some of the European journals were
to be taken as a true index of the intentions of the rulers
Of France, Austria, and Sardinia, war could not be avoid
cd. But / believe that this tone is not TO be relied on.
l believe that the attitude Of Germany, Russia, and Eng
land, in opposition to a general war, the disinclination
Of the French people to engage In a conflict VI any kind,
and the want of money, will still force the beliigerents 10
keep the peace whether they win or not. The private
letters by the Persia, which have seen, represent war AS
nearly certain, and the result ID that those in this city
who would be affected by a European war are exceedingly
uneasy. Money is tighter and dearer, and stocks are
lower. ADSUM.

Mr.. Goggin commenced the campaign with a speech in
Bedford county, and followed it up by a speech in Rich
mond-thuss showing at the outset a disposition to go on
his own hook throughout the canvass. His Richmond
friends, however, less discreet than he, posted him after
John Misunderstanding that he must follow and "swal-
low Mr.. L. wherever he went. We predicted at the
time that he would soon become sick of the task assigned
him-that he would soon find he had all to lose and
nothing to gain by following John Letcher. And our
prediction has already become truth. Mr.. Goggin has
given notice that he will leave Mr.. Letcher, and speak
on his own hook, after the 9th of April. He will then,
after q visit to Allegheny, return to Eastern Virginia,
speaking in Albemarle, Louisa, Caroline, Dinwiddie, Nan
semond, Norfolk, Princess Anne, Northampton, Acco-
mac, Gloucester, James City, King and Queen, Rich
mond, King George, and Spottsylvania counties,
which will consume his time up to the 9th Of May,
But, in this course Nh. Goggin is jumping out Of
the pan into the fire. The Richmond Enquirer
says he will encounter on his round Shelton f. Leake,
William +. Gordon, jr., Frank Scott, II. s. Hopkins,
Thomas Campbell, Robert L. Montague, another red
head orator. Bev. Douglas, John Seldom, James Bar
bour, and q host of other democratic electors, who will
make his fur fly. Mr.. Goggin goes into that portion of
Virginia which most cordially and unanimously support
ed John Letcher in the Petersburg convention but it is
that portion of Virginia where eloquent and effective
democratic speakers most abound. We have not named
a democratic champion likely to cross swords with Mr.
Goggin who is not his equal before the people, and many
of them are vastly his superiors, None of these gentle
men viii permit Mr.. Goggin, with impunity, In the abb
sence of Mr.. Letcher, to indulge in denuncation and
abuse Of the democratic party, and in assaults upon is
principles, or in attempts by no-party appeals to seduce
the democracy from their party allegiance. The democ-
racy will be represented by an able an efficient champion
in every county in which Mr.. Goggin may venture to adj
dress the people. There never was an instance in the
history of parties in this State of an opponent Of the dem
ocratic party being allowed to wander up and down
through the State, making reckless statements, with
out any one TO reply to him.

IMPORTANT NEWS FROM CENTRAL
AMERICA-OU1RAGES UPON AMERICAN
CITIZENS.

The steamer Northern Light, from Aspinwall, with
dates to the ed ult., and six hundred and seventy pas
sengers and sl37, 900 in treasure from California, arrived
at New York on Wednesday last.
Dates from Valparaiso to March LIST bring accounts Of
another abortive attempt Mt revolution on the 2sth of
February. The battle lasted four hours, resulting adj
versely to the patriots. The American consulate was rid
died with shots. The revolutionary movement through
out Chill was dangerously powerful and popular.
BY the English mail steamer there is important news
from Greytown. The United States ship-of-war Decatur
having anchored in a cove near San Juan del Sur, was
taken for a fllibustering vessel, when the President, with
800 troops, took possession of the transit route to pre-
vent a landing. Being a~pprized of the true character of
the Decatur, he retreated, destroying all the bridges in
his course. Meanwhile, the French officers, with a small
force. crossed the lake TO the river San Juan, and seized
the White steamers, and forcibly imprisoned their officers
and crews. They were not released when the steamer
left. The correspondent Of the New York Herald, wri-
ting from Aspinwall under date OF March 20, gives the
following particulars
% IL appears that the Nicaraguan government has been
looking out for hllibustefs on the Pacific side for some
time, and had spies stationed on the coast to report the
arrival Of any suspicious vessel The goth pf February
was the time fixed for the arrival Of the invaders, ond on
the night OF the 18th three OF the largest bridges on the
transit road, from the lake 10 San Juen dol sHr, were

AMERICA

In view of the Geographic reports from Central
America received by the Northern Light, we think
it proper to r~epublish the special message of the
President which was communicated to Congress on
the 18th of February last. Should these reports
prove to be correct, and should the very contingency
anticipated by the President be found to have oc-
Cured, it may prove a serious misfortune to the
country that Congress did not find itself at liberty
to adopt the patriotic recommendation of the special
message

The brief period which remains of your present session,
and the great urgency and importance of legislative ac-

The Montgomery (Ala) Consideration of the 2sth ut.
thus notices the reception of this distinguished visitor in
that city
ssThe meeting TO greet this distinguished statesman
and patriot of Erin was a spontaneous offering on the
part of our citizens to one who has exhibited those great
qualities of head and heart that adorn our species in any
country or any cline, We were pleased to see so many
of the moot intelligent of our fellow citizens, of all par
ties, present at the nesting, and in this respect 1t has
rarely been equalled in our city. There was, too, an
agreeable absence of all fulsome eulogy, either at the
meeting or at the presentation of the committee and citi-
zens to Mr.. oBrien. Judge Phelan, ON the part OF the
citizens, welcomed him in a neat address, full of elo-
auence, feeling, and pathos, characterized with the ut
most good taste and %propriety. Mr.. O'Brien's reply was
similar in tone, sentiment, and feeling. He seemed much
pleased with his visit to our country, and was gratifed
with his reception wherever he went, He left for Mobile
on Saturday evenings boat.
We extract the following from his speech as reported
in the Montgomery Advertiser Of the same date
nHe was heartily glad that he had visited America, as
it enabled him to witness the practical workings of our
government and to see the condition OF his countrymen
who had made this the home of their adoption. He was
highly pleased with what he had seen thus far, and coald
NOT but wish this republic a continuance of the prosper
ity IL now evinced. He was glad, also, on another &C
count he was satisfied that there did not exist in Ameri-
ca that feeling of antagonism towards Irishmen and pro
fessors Of the Catholic religion which ne had been led to
suppose prevailed among the native portion of the porn-
Iation. and which his countrymen at home supposed OK
lists here 70 SO great an extent. He would be glad TO see
Irishmen in America earn the respect OF the American
people and fit themselves for any station they might be
called to occupy. He only asked for them that their
nationality end their religious principles should not ope-
rate against them Ia the event they were called upon TO
occunv positions of honor, trust, or emolument-that
they might be regarded as American citizens WHENEVER
they prorsd themselves worthy ones, and then only. More
than this no Irishman bad a right TO expect,
