members sit dumb and listen to declarations
that they would never dare make known TO
their constituents at home as the sentiment Of
the party or else like the pitifui representa-
tive from the Columbus District get up and at
tempt to justify disunion by accusing their own
State Of rebellion.
There are two great parties in the House,
One openly and unanimously declares that the
constitutional power of the majority Of the peo-
pie in this government shall be suppressed, or
the Union shall be broken up. The other calm
y but determinedly maintains the supremacy
Of the constitution Of law, parliamentary rules
and the constitutional exercise Of the power oil
the people. On this issue will the democracy
next be tried before the people; 'on a fork
edtonged platform, exalted in proportion to its
capabilities for deception. Democracy has
never yet had trial before the people on its
real merits. It will not be the fault of that
party it the issue is not plain enough now; q we
have yet confidence in the South to believe
that It will there eEen meet rcbuke that will
deprive it Of its claim to be q southern party
as it has long since lost any pretense of repre-
sentng the North-State Journal.

New FEATURE.-One feature of locofocoism
assumed, or rather very naturally exhibited at
the present session of Congress, is so significant
and characteristic Of the progress of the party,
that we cannot but make special allusion to it.
Those who have watched the proceedings of the
House will have made the discovery that mark
ed evidences of fidelity to the Union, instead of e.
Letting signs of patriotic pleasure, produce only
seriousness and gravity, This is to be account
ed for on the score of compliment to the fire
eaters who are belching forth nothing bat Sc
cession aud disunion and the craven tools of this
rejected administration, Northern dough faces,
have no higher task to perform than to look
grave or gay, according to the humor of their
exacting masters. Such is the point to which
modern democracy has at length arrived
JOHN BRowN, JR., who resides at Dorset held
sort of donation levee, at Jefferson on Thurs
day evening last, for the recuperaton of an ex-
chequer over-drawn and depleted in the caurse
Of humanity. From the note of preparation, we
conclude that Ashtabula was likely to be on
hand in her strength.

THE DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION for this Con-
gressonal district, which was held at Warren,
for the appointment of delegates for the Charles
ton Convention seems to have been conducted
a good deal on the Tammany Hall principle
The democratic privilege, TO be sure, was not
actually resorted to, of kicking one another
down stairs, but tho treatment received by DR..
Buchanans friends at the hands of the Douglas
men, led them to anticipate that exercise, by a
timely withdrawal. We learn from the Var
rem Chronicle, that the nomination of A. d.
Kibbee, of that county, for chairman stirred
the bile of the Buchanan men, as he was known
to be disciple of Douglas. They called for a
division Of the House, but were out numbered.
The demonstration was so decisive and discour-
aging that the Mahonng and Ashtabula Post
masters, and deputy Marshal headed by Mr.
Medbury, some IL in all, withdrew, and selected
as delegates to the National Convention, Gil.
son, deputy marshal, of Mahoning, and postmas
ter Flager, well known in this quarter
The regular convention, proceeded to ap-
point Hon. David Todd, of Mahoniug, and
Dr. ID. b. Woods of Trumbul, as delegates to
represent the. Douglas wing, the two strongest
men belonging to either wing of the Democrat
ic party in this district Not an administration
man was among the delegates from Trumbull
county and nine tenths of those from Mahon-

Buchanansm seems to be defunct in these
parts. The split was perfect and satisfactory

lTALY.-The new events in Italy are the res
ignation by Garibald of his command of the
army of central Italy, and the appointment of
Buoncompagni as regent of the same states
Napoleon at first objected to this, but at length
acquiesced in it on the assurance of the king
of Sardinia that the regency is temporary and
only designed to maintain public order until the
European congress shall decide the permanent
condition of these states Tuscany took occa-
casion while this question was pending to reit.
crate her declaration that if the congress orders
the restoration of the grand duke they will op-
pose it to the last and do their best to repel
force by force. In his proclamation to the Ital.
ion people on the occasion of his retirement,
Garbaldi declares that his freedom in the army
was continually hampered, but that when Vic
tor Emanuel shall again summon his soldiers to
fight for the deliverance of Italy he shall again
take some place by the side of his brave com
pauions in arms. He declares the present Ital-
ian policy miserable and tortuous, and counsels
the people to lay up stores of gold and steel
and prepare to meet whoever shall attempt to
throw them back into their former state No
progress appears in the arrangements for the
European Congress- and it is said that when it
shall meet its deliberations cannot occupy less
than half year. This condition of suspense
is annoying to the people of Italy, but it gives
them amplb time to prepare for any emergency,
aud with their present liberty they should be
able to place outside interference out of the
question.

Rev. Mr.. STONES LECTURE.-Our citizens to
limited number, had the pleasure on Friday
evening last, of listening to lecture of more
than ordinary merit from Mr.. Stone, on the
subject of Home and Abroad" The mode of
handling the subject was by way of contrast
ing American character with, principly the
English and less generally with the French and
other nations of the old world 1t was evident
that the gentleman had gained his acquaintance
with his subject from close observation and
travel, for his descriptions were drawn with
familiar, as we'll as masters hand. ohm Bulls
heavy, phlegmatic characteristics, his fidelity to
routine, and content of sameness, the treading
in the same circle of social existance and voca-
tion through successive generations, were held
up in pleasant, but striking contrast to the ea-
ger, restless, never satisfied progressive Ameri =
can. The approval of the audience, attested
the fidelity of his views, and the ring of true
genius that ran through the lecture. The style
of the lecturer was decidedly good, and his de-
livery, clear, bold, and with a good degree of
oratorical finish Since we became lecture
community we certainly have had nothing to
surpass, if indeed it has been equaled The
brief opportunity given for notice of the lee
ture was the cause doubtless of the simness Of
the audience, and it was the cause of sincere re-
gret to those present, as well as many who wish.
