EGs- The Herald's Warrington dispatch


of Saturday says:
Dispatches have been received at the
State Department, brought by the Asia,
I from our Ministers at London, France,
and Spain. Mr.. Dallas states that great
activity prevails in England throughout
all the various departments, and warlike
preparations of immense magnitude are
being prosecuted with vigor and urgency
Everything that can float is undergoing
repair, and will be in readiness for active
service. Unparalleled activity prevails
in all British dock yards. 1t is the
opinion of leading statesmen should war
continue England will not long remain
neutral. She fears France, and looks
upon its Emperor with jealous eye. Mr..
Mason says the Emperor of France has
stronger hold on the affections of the
people of France than ever before, and
they evince determination to stand by
him at all hazards and prosecute the war
to the bitter end.
Mr.. Preston, writing from Madrid, states
that considerable feeling was manifested at
Madrid, growing out ofthe belligerent as
pect of the Spanish people were with Sar-
dinia, and the Emperors (Napoleon's)
course meets the hearty approval of the
people of Spain.

is generally said. But we must state that
our decision tn join in it was after assur-
ance given to US that, in letters from Gen.
Concha, knowing that the Independence
OF Cuba was inevitable, he had decided
not to oppose it, but rather contribute to
It. Such were stated to have been his
ideas, as communicated through Pinto,
when he was in France, provided that
the public funds would contribute in his
favor a sum of money. Cuban independ-
ence was thus prepared for by Concha,
and it only wanted rallying cry given
oy small portion OF persons, landing in
indicated points of the island, for the
chiefs OF the troops to unite with US.
The history of Concha, and these so
authentic documents, decided us to con-
tribute to liberating Cuba from the awful
yoke that oppresses her wretched inhabi-
tants. But too late, we have been able
to know Concha's real object in deceiving
us. 1t has been of "a private character;
the news reaching Spain of an expedition
defeated, would check and postpone his
removal, or wauld cause him to obtain a
new title, as he obtained that of MARQUIS
on the death of Pinto. This title was OBJ
tanned for having forged another inven-
tion, and garroting him, in order to keep
silence as to facts. Our fate would have
been the same as Pinto, and with the
same advantages for .Concha. Our hate
for him is greater than ever, and we hope
1t will be SO in the hearts of all that know
him, and the treacherous actions which
mark his natural character.

Independent Democrat.

Hon. Charles Ready, formerly a Wing
and American, and now independent, is
supported for Congress in the Fifth Dis
trict by the Democracy. He has gal
liant competitor in BOB HATToN. The
Lebanon Herald thus alludes to recent
discussion between these getlemen:
Col. Ready let down considerably in his
rejoinder. He utterly failed to define his
position upon single question or to say
which one of the candidates for Governor
he was for. Said he was an Independent
man, yet as good as admitted that he was
afraid to say who he was for. Said he
stood on his own record and was against
any man that was against him. Defend
ed the corruption and extravagant charges
against the Administration, and closed his
speech, we are entirely confident, without
giving satisfaction to ten men of either
party.
The Democracy supporting an ''inde-
pendent manw That is one of the re-
markable occurrences of the times. The
Herald states Mr.. Ready's platform as
follows:
/. CHARLES READY!
2. Thirty dollars day and mileage.
3. CHARLES READY
4. Believes taat convention in the 5th
Congressional District is right and proper,
if it nominates Charles Ready.

lieves such convention to be ''onfair, on

any other than Charles Ready.

The Democratic Party and its Lead


We have before us the Washington
Union, of March 23d, 1859, from which
we copy the following:
If the Democracy cannot prevail against
such party. the Republican party it is
because its the Democratic. party's or
ganization is demoraH-ed its integrity qucstion-
able, its honor doubtful, and It's character bad.
We have had enough of great
men. We want true men.
Great men have great personal objects to
accomplish. They treat measure as it
may happen to bear upon their own in
terest and upon the fortunes of rivals
One goes east when he sees another going
west. Ambitious combinations are the
curse of the Democratic party. They
have tainted lis integrity denoralzed II, weak-

of the country can be developed. n
These are. the men who would
control the Democratic party. They hare

Approaching the Democracy.

The New York Herald, now the lead
ing organ of the Northern Democracy, in
an article on the Charleston Convention,
and the want of Harmony among the va
rious factions of the self-styled Democrl-
cy, makes the following very just remarks,
which very conclusively demonstrates
how well the editor understands, and
how fully he appreciates the character
and instincts of his party, North and
South. He says;
"Unauestionably the cohesive power
of the public plunder' will be put to Sc
we're trial in that Convention; but we in
cline to the opinion that in the spoils
there will be discovered the basis of a
platform upon which Wise and Hunter,
and Jefferson Davis, and Douglas, and
Slidell and Soule, and Dickinson and
Seymour, and all their factions, and all
the other cliques and factions of the
party, may harmoniously sit down togeth-
er as at a family love feast, and go forth
therefrom like giants refreshed with new
wine.'"

WAR IN MODERN TIMEs.-Our dispatch

which struck our mind with particular
force: we allude to the order of Napoleon
allowing to all Austrians vessels that may
come into French ports, in ignorance Of
the war waging between the countries,
six weeks for transacting their business
and departing to place of safety, 1t is
one of the evidences of the moral progress
of the age, where an advantage is thus
generously waived, and the unfortunate,
for their misfortune, allowed to go on
their way unmolested. Wars are as
bloody as ever when armies come into
actual conflict; but even then, under the
influence OF our new civilization, cruelty
is no longer allowed in the field, and
chivalry takes the place of revenge
Who believes that these ships would have
been allowed by beligerent to depart
fifty years ago! Traduced as he is, there
is much that is noble and good in the
character of Napoleon, and the world
will yet find it out and acknowledge it,
long before it comes to the last page OF
his history. -Saannah Republican.
