Andrew y Johnson and Democratic
GOrruDtEOn.

1t is The constant boast of the Democratic
paper that. with the exception of few short
intervals, the Democratic party has been in
power for more than half century. With
out stopping to question the claims
TO Jefersonian Republican descent OF
the Modern Democratic party, it will be sufii-
cient for our purpose on the present occasion,
to point to the fact that that party has been
in power twenty-five ont of the thirty years
which have elapsed since JOHN QUINCY
ADAss's administration. From the response
bility to the people Of the United States,
arising from this long possession Of power.
there is positively no escape. What, then,
have this party, in their long reign, done to-
wards retrenchment and economy, and puri-
t., and integrity ia the public expenditures
In answer to this question, hear the Hon.
ANDREW JOHNSON, in the Senate Of the United
States, on the 18th of May. 1858:
"If,'' says he, " as the Senator from Geor-
gia (Mr. Toombs.) remarked the other day.
ours be the most corrupt government on the
face of the earth. this is the most corrupt
part Of it. IL is in the power of Congress to
prevent these enormous expenditures; and if
we do not interpose, we are responsible for
them. This Govern ent, siyty-nine years of
age, scarcely out Of its swaddling clothes, is
making more corrupt uses Of money in proper
ton to the amount collected from the people
a. honestly believe, than any other govern
ment now on the face Of the habtable globe"
Since 1858, the Democratic party have had
possession continuously and without inter
rlption Of all the departments of the Federal
Government, except only. that in the two
years of the last Congress, the Opposition
had q majority in the House Of Representatives.
the Democrats, however, having about two
thirds of the Senate.
On the authority, therefore, Of the Hon.
ANDREW JOHNSON, we arraign the government
of the United States, while in possession of,
and administered by, the Denoeratie party. rs
"naking more corrupt uses Of money in pro-
portion to the amount collected from the peo-
pie, than any other government now on the

FrfghsfuI Death.

John woodhouse Heart. son of Mr.. Heart.
once of the Charleston Herc,fry, but now re-
siding at the corner of G., near 18th street. in
this city. came to his death on Thursday night
in fearful and extraordinary manner.
1t appears that Mr.. Heart left the house of
his parents on Thursday afternoon, stating
that he intended tn spend the night at the
house of a Mrs. Walker, relation of his.
living on L street, between 4th and 5th. Un-
fortunately, while on his way there. he was
detained at the house of another relative TO
whom he paid visit. and when he reached
the honse on l. street, he found that the fam
lily had retired to rest and that all the doors
were locked. He then went into the alley,
and endeavored to gain admission by the sta
Die door.
Over this door there was an opening or
fransom of sufficient width to admit bis head,
and having climbed up to it he put his head
and one arm through for the purpose of I'M
fastening the bolt inside, and while in the act
OF doing so his feet slipped and he was caught
under the chin and on the back of the neck
by the boards above and below, and was
clicked to death, and remained thus suspend
ed until yesterday morning, when he was
found by a servant who had occasion to go
to the stable.
found that part of the clothing had been
torn off by dog (not his OWN which attacked
him while he was suspended.
Mr.. Heart was young man OF excellent
disposition, and to his parents ever affection
ate and Obedient, and to society he promised
great future usefulness but, alas he has
[ thus, in the bud of manhood and the bloom
of HEALTH been cut down-another example
of the terrible uncertainty of life and the
necessity of being prepared for death. :. Pre-
| pare We the ways of the Lord; make straight
his paths; for we know not at what hour OF
the night he may come" Peace to his ashes.

democratic Einrnionr.

We observe with unfeigned satisfaction.
that the signal Of union and harmony thrown
cut by the Democracy of Kentucky. has been
accepted in responsive spirit by the party in
other quarters of the country. The fact of
Ja8ge Douglas participation in a recent
caucus of y 'mocratic Senators, is the occa-
soa of felieitGtion among the organs OF the
party, inasmuch a. 1t implies an oblivion OF
past issue, and promises frateraal associa-
tion in future struggles. We may now
regard the Kansas breach ~ thoroughly
repaired. Just as in 1852. the opposite
factions Of compromise and anti-compromise
agreed to suspend their difference in the
moment OF common danger, So now the rival
bonsss of Lecomptan and aati-Lecompton are
under for the great contest oi 1860. This
spirit is especially prevalent among the party
In Virginia, is apparent from the following
solution adopted by the Democracy of New
Kent county:
Resolved That in the cause Of Democracy
and in the interests of our whole country as
identified with IL. we invoke an Oblivion of
ell differences among Democrats growing
out OF now past and obsolete issues.

The Admission OF Oregon.

We placed before our readers yesterday the
minority report Of the House Committee on
Territories. presented in Congress on the 18th
by Gen. ZoLLICoFFER. We ask the attention
of our readers to the facts and arguments of
the report. Laying all party feeling aside,
there can be but little doubt that the popular
sentiment of the country would sustain Gen.
ZoLLIcoFFER in the position that as general
rule, no territory should be admitted into the
Union as a State before il has a population
equal TO the existing ratio Of representation
for a member of the House of Representa-
tives. The arguments Of c. n. ZoIIICoFFER
on this point are, to our mind, clear and con-
elusive. There might be circumstances that
would Justify an exception to such rule, but
no such circumstances exist in the case OF
Oregon. Upon this ground alone, if the facts
be as represented by Gen. T., and of which
we have no cause for doubt, the application
of Oregon should be rejected.
Upon the other branch of the report, sub
ject of great Importance to the people of the
United States is presented. he admission of
aliens, either in States or Territories, to the
rights Of political suffrage at the ballOt-box,
is manifest innovation upon the funda-
mental articles Of republican government
We have heretofore had occasion to discuss
this subject, and, to our mind. it admits OF
no doubt that it is wrong in theory, wrong
in practice, and contrary to the spirit, if not
to the letter of our constitution, to allow per-
sons from other governments, who " owe ii
allegiance" have d" no right to claim its
protection" and .'are under no obligations to
defend it," to come in and exercise the most
precious privilege of citizenship, that of ruling
and shaping our laws and institutions through

Opposition State Convention, 29th

After full consultation with many Of our
friends in various parts Of the State, it has
been deemed most expedient to fix the 18th
OF MARCH next, as the most eligible time for
holding Convention of the Opposition to
Democracy in this State. In compliance,
therefore, with this sentiment, we hereby an
nolnce that day a. the appointed time for the
assembling of that body and take this occa-
sion to urge upon our friends in every county
in the State to call primary meetings on the
first Monday of February or March, to ap-
point delegates to said convention. Let there

The REMOVAL OF LORD NAPIER.-Thc New
York Courier says:-


York Courier says:-
The simple truth is, and it idle to attempt
any concealment of the fact, Lord Derby s
Ministry is in all respects the very antipodcs
of that which preceded it; and in nothing is
this more apparent, than in its unfriendly
feeling towards the United States. Derby
and Stanley, and Malmesbury and D'lsraell
all hold us in contempt; and Lord Napier is
removed because he has been carrying ont
the friendly instructions OF Lord Clarendon.
and seeking tn draw closer together the two
great Anglo-Saxon Nations. whose political
institutions and whose devotion to civil aud
religious liberty. are almost IDENTICAL; aud
the people OF which. are not only hound to-
gcther by fraternal ties and common origin,
but by a common literature, a common Ian
guagc, common religious faith and the
same unaltered devotion TO constitutional
Government. But this act of spits towards
the Government which preceded them, will
not be without its fruits. Time and little
patience will remedy these things; and long
before our people can get rid of those who
now so grossly misrepresent the country.
the Derby Ministry will cease to exist, and
Lord Napier be sent hack TO the United
States, if it please him to return.

This is slight error. The tax voted in
