Every we'll The democracy has beat the de-
mocracy! The country must be safe, but where
then is the democratic party? Is there such q
party? Where is it, what is 1t. who is its leader
who its followers, what its principles, whittier is
1t tending? Democrat and Express reply.
This is from the s. F. Times, in relation tc
the recent Douglas triumph in this city. The
Times asks q few questions, which we shall
very briefly answer.
lst. The Democratic party is where it al
ways was, on the firm-foundcd rock of Pop
ular Sovereignty
I'd. There is Democratic Party, of course,
and it holds to the ancient faith, as expound-
ed by Stephen A. Douglas.
Sd. 1t is party which has its representa-
tives in every quarter of the Union, north and
SOUTH is conservative and national par.
ty-its greatest acknowledged leader is Doug
las-its followers are all conservative and ma
tional men-and it is tending to the absolute
and perfect control of the government of
these United States. not by any species of
fraud or corruption, hut by the universal voice
and free consent of the sovereign people
Why is it so tending? Because it refers all
questions Of public policy to the vote of the
masses and insists that the majority in all
cases shall rule and govern. The Times
commits the error of calling the Lecompton-
ties Democrats They are no more Demo
cratic than the Times is itself.

A NOBLE GIRL-One of the Boston papers
relates this anecdote, on the authority OF
fellow passenger of the heroine of it. from
Detroit to Albany:
On reaching the depot nt suspension
Bridge, the conductor told young man
whose health was very feeble, and who was
on his way to springfield, Mass, where he
had friends-he must leave the cars, as he had
no money with which to pay his fare. Not
withstanding the deblitated appearance of
the young man, he was suffered to be led out
of the car without any movement being made
for his relief AS the young man was about
stepping off of the platform, young lady
rose in the cars and asked the conductor how
much the young mans fare would be to Al
bany. He replied eight dollars. She i'm
mediately stepped to the door, and told the
invalid to return and resume his seat. lie
did so, and then some Of the male passengers
began to exhibit little charity, offering to
pay n portion of the fare. The young lady
declined their proffered aid, saying she pre-
fered to pay the amount herself She aid so,
and besides gave him script to keep him
in Albany over Sunday, promising to see him
forwarded to his friends on Monday.

Railroads.

1t is in vain to expect any Pacific haiiFoAu
at the hands of the present Administration
Its course has been such as to DIVIDE anu us
troct the country to on extent which utterly
forbids anv harmony whatever between the
,hroo ,,root scctiops of the Union, to-wit: the
No,,h and South and the West We will
nevor have a Continental Railway until a
truIv Democratic President is elected. Then
we may expect that the uniform justice OF
his course will inaugurate that era of general
good feeling without which this great meas
ure Of the age can never be consummated.
At present, therefore, we may as well aban-
don all hope or expectation of Pacific Rail
road, and devote our energies in this State tc
the completion of those enterprises which art
already on foot within our own limits. OuI
State Government has the power to foster q
vast system of internal improvement, with
out any expense whatever to the State
Treasury, and it should lend such encourage
ment literally. Any reasonable appeal from
any we'll established Railroad enterprise fol
aid and support at the hands of the Legisla
ture should meet with ready and favorable
response, for the State should be only toe
proud to build up her own wealth and gran
deur and prosperity. As we have nothing
to expect at the hands of the General Govern
ment, for some time to come, let us strengthen
our own power internally and so manage that
the immense wealth which is annually de-
rived from our hills and mountains and
rivers may be retained within our own
hands instead Of being transmitted to distant
States or foreign countries, and generally dis
tributed abroad.
1t is reasonable to suppose that the differ
ent railroad projects in the State Will ask for
privileges and favors, from time to time, at
the hands of the State, in order to relieve
themselves from embarrassment make their
extensions for the benefit of remote regions
and otherwise advance their own and the
general interest We think the Legislature
should never hesitate a moment to grant
these privileges and favors.

Rotunda of the National Capital.

Wallace, of the Alta writes from Wash
ington as follows:
In the rotunda stopped to look upon the
great paintings that fill the pannels and the
statuary that stands so life-like in their Mich.
es. 1t is q rich and rare scene, and the events
represented possess historic interest," and an
artistic merit, unequalled by any collection
in the country There is the proud Burgoyne
surrendering to the rebel Gates; the no long
er confident CORVALLIS, offering his sword in
presence of the brilliant mobiles of France
and the sober blue Continentals: the uutiring
De Soto gazing for the first time upon the
mighty Mississippi; Pocahontas in the act of
becoming q Christian, while John Rolfe looks
upon her in loving admiration the landing
of Columbus; the Declaration of Independ-
ence Franklin at the Court of France urg-
ing the gay Louis to assist the Colonies and
last but to my mind, the greatest Of all, The
departure of the Pilgrims from Defohayen
| All these scenes are SO life like, that one can
never pass by without stopping to give them
another look. The rotunda is great place
for reflection and for refreshing the memory
upon historical events l have passed through
it many times since and each time some new
! poetry in those animated and almost spark
ing colors attracts me to it.

The HUMILITY OF TRUE GREArNEss.-After
Mr.. Prescott had finished his first great work,
so little was he inspired with fervid am.
bition, or anything like an inordinate desire
for distinction, that he said to his father that
he had had the qualification of writing the
work, and that he should place it on his shelf
and leave it for those who should come after
him. He was dissuaded from so doing, and
was encouraged to give it to the world by
his father.

A WHOLESOME "REMINISCENCES AND coMrAR

A WHOLESOME "REMINISCENCES AND COMPARE
soN.-The Chicago Times says:-
About one year ago the Washington Tn.
| ion, speaking in behalf of the Administration
of James Buchanan styled the Hon. Thomas
| L. Harris, of Illinois, a renegade, and an ally
of the Black republicans" The excuse for
this wanton vilitication of one of the purest
men that ever occupied Il seat in Congress was
that he refused to support an Executive rec
ommendation upon n subject placed by Con.
gress exclusively within the discretionary
powers of Congress.
Since that time the people of Illinois have
passed verdict Of approval upon the con-
duct Of Harris; and that patriot, having had
the consolation of knowing that his country
men had endorsed his action, has passed from
this earth.
But the year 1859 finds the President in
conflict with congress. Again the represen-
tatives of the people have refused to comply
with the recommendations of the Executive;
and again. as in 1857, those representatives
elected as Democrats, have, ta obtain unity
of action meet in caucus. But how different
is :he action of these caucuses In 1858 all
Democrats who refused obedience to the pol.
icy recommended by the Executive were
denounced, ike Harris, as "renegades and
allies of the Republicans" Now tie caucuSeS

gress who give to Mr.. Buchanan's recommen.
dation "a cordial support are Black Repub-
licaDs. Has Democracy changed in one year?
Has the Administration lost its hold upon the
affections and the loyalty of the Democratic
party in one year? Has Executive authority
lost respect in the halls of Democratic Con-
gress We ask these questions in justice to
the Democrats in Congress, who, because
they year ago refused to obey Executive
dictation, were denounced as "renegades and
allies of the Black Republicans" If that
judgment upon them was Just one, are not
all those who, in caucus this session, have
refused to support an Executive command,
equally guilty as renegades ?
