DEMOCRATIC UNION. The correspondent Of
the N. Y, Courier and Enquirer, writing
from Washington, says that Senator Green.
Of Missouri, has suggested compromise be-
tween the disagreeing factions of the Demo-
cracy, which meets the approval of Presi-
dent Buchanan and Secretary Cass, and
which, it is expected, will unite the party.
The Western Democracy insists on the rein
statement of Mr.. Douglas as a regular number
of the party. Mr. Green proposes to drop all
discussion upon intervention and non-inter-
vention las non-essential, and proposes also tie
withdrawal Of opposition to the admission o f
Kansas, whether as a free or slave State, in
the next Congress. These bases Of accommod-
alton are accepted by the Administra ton,
and the breach between the factions of the
Democracy is regarded as healed"

In order to enable our readers, says the Nor.
ming Post. to understand tho diplomatic ev.
ents IF the st few days touching the prelim-
inlry arrangements for Congress n take
into consideration the political condition OF
lrly, we will state as briefly as possible what
has t,kcn place:
When congress was first proposed, Aus
tria demanded that Piedmont should dsarm
without any guarantees. This demand was
discountenanced Immediately by ali the great
powers.
2. Then Austria demanded that all the
Grea polocrs should accept the principle of IA
disarmament, the details and provisions of
which we're to be discussed and arranged by
the Congress.
3. T,thcsa propositions Franco agreed as
well asfhe Other great poicors, although Ru-
sid obs rived the dsarming would be more
logic j after Congress
!. Austria was not content with this ar
ran cement but employed England to urge
France to demand Piedmont to disarm
under any circumstances.
5. France replied that she would not sup
port such demand, as neither Sardinia nor
the other Italian States would be admitted
on equal terms at the Congress, nor would
their voice be heard in councils initiated 20
discuss the interests of Italy and remove evils,
registered in the protocols Of the Treaty of
Paris, and acknowledged by all the great
powers as dangerous to the peace Of the
world.

ously weakening tn -ir ASSISTANTS.
If tn. Slrdinians should determine to
fall lack and to wait for the advance of their
French allies, they have their choice of two
lines OF retreat. The one is along the line
Of railway from the Ticino to Turin and Su-
81 or Pinerolo. at which places French ar
my advancing through the Alps will so onest
JOIN them. The other is to the great fortress
of Ales>andril, the citadel and bulwark of
Pie IN nt-a position which they can hold
against the assault even of large army until
rclntprGaments arrive. Tnese will have TO
be brought by sea from Toulon to Genoa in
steamers; and rs the latter port is connected
with Alessandria by line Of railway, de-
say Of week or ten days would allow GER

Immediately west of Aldie, there was the
