overborne for some years TO come, even
robs Of many of its terrors the prospect,
whatever it may be, of the election of
Republican President; for even the FIX
ccutive branch of the Government might
pass into sectional control, and still
great portion of its power for evil avoid
ed by the fact of a Democratic majority
in the Senate. OF late years, and in
proportion to the success of Republican
ism at the North, that majority has be-
gun to decrease. 1t still, indeed, COM
prises several Senators from that quarter,
whose number was increased by the ac-
cession of Oregon-and the decrease has
been further supplied by the gradual re-
tirement of Opposition members from
the South, and the substitution of Demo-
Gratis in their stead Mr.. Crettenden,
we believe, now alone remains to repre-
sent Southern Opposition, with the ex-
ception of one Of our own Senators.
The march of sectionalism has been such,
however, as 10 warn us that we can afford
to lose but few conservative men from
the Senate. The wall is even now thin
one that separates it from Republican
control. And, as the lapse of COM
paratively short period may witness the
narrowing down of our majority still
further-we think we submit self-evi-
dent proposition when we affirm that, at
this time, the Democratic party and the
cause of conservative and constitutional
legislation can i'll afford 10 lose members
from the South. 1t is only by maintain
ing an unbroken front of the Southern
representation in the Senate, that we can
hope to preserve that body free from
practical Republican control For, the
Opposition Southern members, of late
years, though professedly true to their
section, have still pursued such course
of hostility to Democratic policy as has
given moral support to Republicanism
and the recently avowed willingness, on
the part of the American authorities of
this State, to fraternize with everybody,
in order to overthrow the Democracy,
does not give us very hopeful anticipa-
ton of the soundness Of any man they
might elect to succeed Mr.. Pearce. We
want no man as Senator from Mary
land, who will be ready to take a hand
in the united Opposition"

From PARAGUAY. Honors to the Ane-
ricans The New York papers have
some very interesting letters from Para
quay. The officers of the American ex-
petition seem to ave created most ia
vorable impression. The Times says:
During their stay the officers of the
feet were in daily communication with
the people on shore, from the Governor
down, and there was certainly manifested
towards them the kindcst feelings by ev-
cry one. Indeed, says Capt. Faunce, of
the Harriet Lane, il was the common re-
mark that they liked the Americans bet
ter than either the English or French
who had visited their country, and ex-
pressed much surprise at finding the
Americans so different from what they
had been taught to regard them. On
the 18th Of March the authorities of
Corrientes gave splendid bali, which
was attended by all the officers of the
feet. At Rosario the feet assembled on
the 22d of February, where they cele-
brated Washington's birthday by salutes
and by dressing their ships with flags.
Captain Faunce expresses the opinion
that the results of the expedition will be
highly beneficial to the United States for
all time to come, and has fully compen-
stated FOR the outlay. That the end has
been accomplished without resort to arms
he thinks is one of the most creditable,
as it should be the most gratifying, fea-
lures of the expedition He thinks the
Sabine, with Commissioner Bowlin and
his secretary on board, should arrive hero
about the LIST of May.
As token of parting regard, Gen.
Urquiza, the Argentine President, trans
mittcd to Commodore Shubrick a superb
and valuable sword, hitherto worn on
State occasions, as well as in service, by
himself. Gen. Urquiza also gave mag
nifcent entertainment to Judge Bowlin.
A large number of American naval Off
GERS were present.

CHESAPEAKE AND ONO CANAL.-We
learn from private source, (says the
Frederick Examiner that the food in
the Potomac did great damage to Dam
No. q, on Sunday last. The masonry
work at this fine dam was nearly COM
pleted, there being but two openings
left, which would have been finished in
a month Of favorable weather; but the
food has done its work OF havoc, in
sweeping away the middle portion of the
stonework, and entirely obliterating the
earth embankment between the river and
canal. The extent Of damage cannot
vet be ascertained.

The sickles TriaI-His Acouittal.

This very exciting trial, which has oc-
cupied the attention of the Criminal Court
in Washington, D. c., for twenty days,
was brought to a conclusion on Tuesday
last, by the jury rendering verdict of
mot guilty" The Star" gives the
following description of the reception of
the verdict and the closing scene of this
important trial:
AT two o'clock the case was submitted
to the jury, who remained out one hour,
and at three o'clock general rush of
persons from the Marshal's office an
nounced that the jury were coming in,
and in a moment the jury entered amid
loud cries of order from various parts of
the courtroom. The jury entered the
box and were called by the clerk, amid
profound silence, so deep as to be abso-
lutely painful. The Clerk said
Gentlemen of the jury, have you
agreed upon your verdict?
Mr.. Arnold, the foreman, replied that
they had.
The clerk said, "Stand up Daniel Z.
Sickles."
And the prisoner stood up, looking
calmly upon the jury
The clerk then said "Gentlemen of
the jury, look upon the prisoner at the
bar. Do you find the prisoner at the
bar guilty, as indicted, or not guilty 2"
The Foreman. "Not guilty.
The audience, heretofore so quiet.
here gave vent to simultaneous shout,
and all attempt at restoring order was,
for few moments, abandoned by the
officers.
Those outside the bar instantly leaped
towards the prisoner to congratulate him
and in an instant multitude Of hands
were stretched forth to grasp those Of
the prisoner, amid cheering, waving OF
hats, and the widest excitement.
Mr.. Stanton, in loud voice here ad-
dressed the Court, asking that the pris-
oner be instantly discharged from custo-
dy. which the Court ordered.
The greatest difficulty was experienced
by the officers in preventing the crowd,
who had completely taken possession oil
Mr.. Sickles, from tearing his clothes
from his person. In passing the jury
box, Mr.. Sickles stopped for moment
to shake hands with the jury, when he
was finally dragged from the courthouse
by the excited crowd, whose cheers and
cries, mingled with congratulations, were
absolutely deafening.
Outside the courthouse, the populace
gave full vent to their appreciation by
three times three cheers, and, amid the
universal excitement, Mr.. Sickles enter
ed carriage and drove rapidly away,
in company with his father and counsel.
