The Richmond Wing and Baltimore Ia-
triot seem disposed to do justice to Mr.. Sew
ard and the Republican party. While the
Doughface presses in the Northern States arc
clamorins against Mr.. Stewards "lrrepres-
sible conflict" these Southern papers frankly
admit that there is no ground whatever for
this partizan cutlery. The Patriot has been
publishing series of articles designed to show
that republican principles are not at wal with
the South, and that there is no reason why
the Southern Opposition cannot unite with
them without any sacrifice of principle on
their part, or demanding any on the part of
the Republicans. After disposng of several
objections that have been urged against such
union the Patriot thus refers to a charge
against Mr. Seward, to which we have re-
ferred:
"But it will be said, there is the irrepressi-
BILE conflict doctrine of the Republicans as
denounced by Gov Seward. But that gentle
man interpolated no such doctrine into the
creed of the Republican party, and even if he
had attempted to do so, he had no power to
bind the action of the party to any such SEN
timcnt. All that he said on this subject in
his Rochester speech, was simply to state a
historical fact, that in all ages ct the 'co'td,
there had been going on such q conflict 6eteoeen
forced and free labor, and his conclusion was,
that it would continue to go on, even in this
| country, until one or the other should tri-
umph. Erery dispassionate reader OF history
or obseruer Of temporary eUents must adm1
| tile truth of this statement.
but while this is true, neither Mr.. Seward
nor the Republican party, any more than the
| American party, proposes to administer the
government in order to accelerate the ire
pressible conflict, in the interests of free la
Dor. So that there is in reality no difference
of opinion between the Americans and Repub-
licans on a mere abstract statement drawn
from an attentive consideration of the philos-
ophy of history"

~ The natives Of the Sandwich Islands,
like the Indians of this Continent, are gradu-
ally disappearing before the approach of the
white man. The present number of the Ha-
waiians would not probably exceed $500,
and should the present ratio of decrease pro-
coed unchecked, in few years the number
must be very small The decrease is due in
a great measure to Righteousness, Incidence,
the prevalence of epidemics, and the great
demand for Hawaiian seame who 60 abroad
many of them never to return. While the
aborgincs are decreasing there is also steady
increase of the foreign element by birth and
immigration, most of those born on the Is
land desiring to grow up and spend their days
there.

mark in addition to what we said yesterday,
that the pre-, Exclamation of Mr.. Sibley which es-

punish the villains who perpetrate them W
would observe further, that copies Of the pc

The Red River stage from the Selkirk Set

last evening, bringing US the intelligence, that
at the celebrated precinct of st. Vincent, OPP
posite Pembina, no election whatever was
held. Joe Rolette was absent up at st. .)o-
semi. 80 miles westward, in Dakota Terrific
~, on election day, endeavoring to induce
the people there to come down and vote at
St. Vincent; but they refused to "cone
down." On the evening of that day, hoHev-
er. he and James McFetridge, the U. S. Gus
tom House officer at Pembina, in Dakota, got
together and did up the usual forgery OF re-
turns, setting forth that the Democratic tick
ct got 2l4 votes, and the Republican l vote !!
We obtain our information, in part, from
the stage driver and, in part, from passengers,
British officers from Fort Garry.
This forgery at st. Vincent, (where not

tons, from Pennsylvania to Minnesota, all tell
the same story of its demoralized and sinking

~ The statement lately made in regard
to the increasing facilities for American enter
prise in developing that portion of Asia,
drained by the AMOR River, seems to have
been little premature. The Russian Gov
ernment have apparently become jealous of
the rapid advance made by Americans, and
has forbidden all foreigners to ascend the ri
yer above Sophisk, for the purposes of trade;
the navigation and commerce of the stream
are therefore to be mopopolized by Russians
There is an injustice to our citizens, as large
amount of American capital has been invest
ed at Nicholacfsky about two hundred miles
below Sophisk, and steamboat has already
been sent out from San Francisco to trade on
the river.

Dying Confessions Of a late Democratic

Organ.
The Hastings Ledger, the Democratic organ

Mr.. Dmond, the editor, in his hnai ISSUE
after confessing his party is badly defeated i"
the State then comes out and Acknowledges
that the charges made by the Republicans
during the campaign were true. 1t Will be
seen that he gives the central organ de-
cidedly hard rub:
First of all, the Democratic State Conven-
ton, contrary to the time-honored principles
of the Democratic creed, under the leader
ship of interested men, lent themselves, as
we believe, to the most corrupt corporation
that ever disgraced any one OF the States OF
this Confederacy, We believe that the pre-
tence of building railroads was the tnnsiest
veil to conceal the robbery of the donated
lands The agents and attorneys OF these
corporations having position in the Democratic
party, made their politics succumb to their
private creed, and controlled matters with a
view to their individual gain. They threat
ened to kick out of the Convention all who OPP
posed railroad rapacity. They have them
selves been kicked out of the Convention and
Next-Our State ADMINISTRATION has been
charged, and we believe with truth, with the
distrusts and yexations and hinarances grow

Gratis in this State, as well as Douglas schls

with the Federal Administration, giving NOR
offense than satisfaction by its course, and II
ally disorganizing the party.
