The DEMocRArIo BoND OF UNIoN.-It
fills the heart of Democrat with pride to
contrast the position of his own party with
that of the opposition. Whilst the latter,
says the Washington Constitution, is COM
posed of a heterogeneous mass Of irreconcila-
Bile elements, avowing the most antagonistic
doctrines, fighting under every variety Of
banners and only agreeing among themselves
in one common sentiment Of hostility to the
Democracy, our own party stands before the
country the only representative of COM
mon faith. It matters not where you meet
true Democrat whether in Massachusetts,
or virginia-you will find him the advocate
of the same cardinal doctrines. He carries
with him the platform Of principles. His,
note book for Maine answers as we'll for Flor
ida and Minnesota as for his own State. It
required no change for each locality in which,
the battle is to be fought

The African Slave Trade.

The Washington Star has the following
correction Of another story of the Herald:
The recent statement Of the New York
Hmald that between sixty and seventy car
goes of Africans have been landed in the
United States since the successful voyage Of
the yacht Wanderer, is incorrect 1t is pos
titively certain that not single such cargo
has since landed the various stories to that
effect in the press to the contrary notwth-
standing The Echo is the only vessel that
has attempted to approach the southern
coast of the United States to that end, and
the public are aware of the result of that at
tempt. The Governments arrangements to
prevent the landing of such cargoes have
been SO complete as to prevent those dispos-
ed to violate the law to prevent the African
slave trade, from venturing efforts to evade
it. We may not ihappropriately add, that
the parties in the South active in endeavor-
ing to reopen the trade, have been doing
their best to embarrass the Government
officers charged with the duty of guarding
the coasts of the United States against the
approach of slave ships, by getting up ru-
mors, keeping them perpetuaIy voyaging in
different directions in search OF wholly i'm
aginary slaves. The promptness and effi-
cheney with which they discharge their du-
ties under such circumstances, have doubt
less had The effect of deterring all who would
otherwise violate the slave trade law, from
risking their money and personal liberty in
such ventures.

Foreign News.


Louis Napoleon had arrived in Paris.
The Queen of Portugal is dead.
The Times correspondent says that the
news of peace produced the greatest exaspe
ration and detection at Turin. The Emperor
was accused of being traitor to Italy, and
his portraits had to he withdrawn from shop
windows to prevent them from being bro
ken. The populace Of Turin manifest dissa
tisfaction at Venice being allowed to remain
in the hands of Austria.
The Vienna correspondent Of the Times
says that representatives of Austria, France
and Sardinia, will soon meet at Zurich to
conclude the treaty of peace. There vii!
be no Congress of the great powers to rati-
fy the treaty, the Emperors of France and
Austria having agreed to settle the Difficult
ties without the Intervention OF the neutral
powers.
The Paris correspondent Of the London
Post says that both Emperors are convinc-
ed that the basis of peace agreed upon by
them is, in many respects, impractlcable.
English journals continue to rldicue the
terms of the peace.
The Paris correspondent of the London
News saws there is feeling of disappoint-
ment and even indignation among all who
took sincere interest in the object of the
war.
The Emperor has seriously lowered him
self in the opinion of ali classes.
Strong Indications of discomfort in som'
parts of Italy.
Great excitement existed in Florence.

sis Of peace as betraying the falrest hop,
that the Tuscan Government anticipated
and that these were the sentiments Of th'
people; and declaring that the Tuscans viii
not be replaced under the yoke or Influence
Of Austria against their will and rights.

DIsGRAcEFuL SUENE.-A most disgracefnl
scene occurred at the conclusion of Senator
Broderck's speech at Columbia last Saturday,
night. He refused to make the Usual invita-
ton of discussion to outsiders, because he
had heard that II. P. Barbour, man with
whom lie had had personal difficulty had
determined to accept it. Another stand
was then erected on the opposite side of the.
street, where Barbour harangued whilst Ny
ers was talking oh the original platform. At
length man named Hunter was challenged
to reply to Barbour, and the challenge was
accepted. Hunter on mounting the stand
was greeted with bsses, and he cursed the
crowd, and the crowd hooted. Up to two
o'clock in the morning the riotous scene
continaed, and several upsets and personal
collisions occurred. At length Hunter
wearied the crowd out and spoke to, the is
sues of the canvass. The language used on,
the occasion, all round, was most vile and
filthy.
