~ The Washington Consultation describe,
the Douglas party as a miserable faction
who, from motives of sordd self-intercst and
personal ambition, have labored to disrupt the
Democratic party. and surrender the govern
mont into the fatal grasp of the Black Re-
publicans,' This reminds us of what was
said at the Douglas meeting in Philadelphia,
descriptive of the delegates who nominated
Breckenridge, wiz Men who "owe tabor and
service TO the decaying dynasty which was
created by the National Democratic Conven-
ton of 1856, and as "fugityes from the
regular organization Of the Democratic party,

A PICTURE OF DEMoCRACY.


The Baltimore Patriot gives the following
picture Of the late Democratic party as it ap-
peared in its last days:
"The scenes that have been enacted in our
midst since Monday last--tho daily seuhles
and nightly broils-the quarres, dissensions,
and fghts-the drunkenness, gambling, pro-
family and other disroputable conduct, which
has been visible for the past week-must, VIC
think, lead all men to joico that the end is
near. The peace of the city has been dis
turbed only by those non residents who were
sent here to produce harmony and peace
Men occupying high positions, members of
Congress, have been arrested for open breach
es of the peace and public decorum. Street
fights have occurred almost every day. Pis-
tolls have been exhibited, dirk knives used,
and in aud around the drinking-shops and
gambling-rooms, excited knots of men,
'clubs," have gathered in angry discussion,
which has generally led to knock down and
drag-out by the police. Citizens throughout
the country do not see, but the citizens Of
Baltimore have seen to their hearts content,
or, perhaps it would be better to say TO the
stemach's disgust, the kind of mon who,
through the machinery of Conventions, have
ruled the fortunes of this Republic. 1t may
be supposed, and on very good grounds, that
we contemplate the near prospect of the dis
solution and dispersion of such Convention
and such party with feelings of pleasure.
We really think that no greater good fortune
could beiall the country than the final dis
ruption and scattering of the Democratic
And we are not alone in this.
We can quote the testimony Of good Dem
ocrats in this behalf of the facts upon which
we think this disruption would be benefit,
il not to show that the Conventions and the
Partys dispersion and fight would be an ad-
vantage to the country"

70 independent" the well-informed
Washington correspondent of the Philadel-
phia North american, says:
"Somo OF the leading friends of Mr.. Breck-
lnrdge here are frank to say while claiming
a larger vote than Mr. Douglas, that one has
no more chance of an election than the other.
They do not pretend that it is a serious con-
test for the Presidency ON either side They
arc making the fight in good earnest, and with
as much efficiency and zeal as if success was
probable, but only for the purpose OF secur-
ing tho organization in 1861. That is the
true object of the struggle now. Ihoy in
tend To terminate all internal divisions hero
after, by leaving Mr.. Douglas and his follow
ers outside the so-called national party, and
purifying it in other important respects.
MIR. Breckinridgc will commence his soma
lora career ON the 4th Of Meseh next, and
with the prestige Of his present nomination,
though defeated in tho election, will become
the leader Of the party in that chamber al
most by necessity, and probably by consent"
GV' "Manners," says Sidney Smith, "are
the shadows OF virtue the momentary dis
play of those qualities which our fellow
creatures love and respect. If we strive to
become then, what we strive 60 appear, man
ners may often be rendered useful guides 70

Tup CALAMITY AT LAWRENCE.

very terrible and fatal disaster occurred
at Lawrence, yesterday, of which we have
full account by telegraph. We do not often
hear of anything so awful. One of the great
factory buildings Pemberton Mills,-in
which regular force of nine hundred and six
ty persons was usually employed, fell sudden
ly to the ground, a mass of ruins, biirying in
the wreck about seven hundred persons. 1t
frightens and overwhelms one to think Of this
calamity. Language can not fifty describe its
horrors, which, after outstripping imagination,
were finally heightened to the utmost, by the
outburst of flames in the ruins which still en-
closed most of the victims. Oh! it was dread
full dreadful, beyond all expression
1t appears that the walls of this building
have always been unsafe. 1t is stated in our
telegraphic report, that they spread before the
machinery was put in, and showed such abun-
dant signs of insecurity, that twenty-five tons
of iron braces were provided to support them,
If this statement is true, heavy re-
spensibility rests on somebody who can
be named and made to feel it. That
fashion of constructing buildings is not as
common in New England as in some other
parts of the country. 1t should not be toler-
ated anywhere In every community it should
be treated as crime, and classed with piracy,
manslaughter, and murder.

SERIOUS ACCIDENT IN THE SANDWICH
lsLANDs.-The bridge over the Waiuka river,
at Hilo, gave way on the Dist of October, lust
as number Of Americans were crossing on
horseback The party had been on a picnic
excursion, and We're returning to town in the
latter part of the afternoon. 1t consisted of
the Hon. S. l.. Austin and Mrs Austin; three
sons and daughter of the Rev. D. b. Ly-
man; X. IL. Dana, Jr., Esq, of Boston, and
others. AS portion Of the party were cross
ing the bridge, the report of the swapping of
chain was heard, then crash, and the bridge
tipped, broke and fell. The bridge was from
fourteen to eighteen feet above the water.
There was Immediately a scene of struggling
men, women and horses. Mrs. Austin was
pulled out Of the water, but her horse was
drowned. Capt Burdett held on to the rail of
the bridge with one arm, which kept him from
going down. Mrs. Burdett was for time in
extreme peril, but was rescued. Mr.. Dana
was in the middle of the bridge when it
broke, and went into the river with his horse,
keeping his seatin the saddle, but both becoming
involved in the wreck of the bridge, Mr.. Dana
got blow on the foot which fractured bone
and bruised him somewhat Leaving his
horse, he swan to part of the bridge, but
that breaking down, he swan to the upper rail
and came over that by hand to the shore,
which he was the last TO reach. Thus all the
party, to whom death or serious injury was
imminent, were saved. Mr.. Dana appears to
be particularly unfortunate. The vessel Elm
which he left San Francisco was burnt Mt sea
and now his life has again been put in peril

DEATH OF ONE OF THE Loves OF GEORGE
THE FoURTH.-Mrs. Ann WalIingford, who
when Anne Rochtorth, was madly beloved by
George the Fourth, then Prince of Wales, died
lately in London The Court Circular says
she was also asked in marriage by the Duke
of B for his son, the Marquis of C-s j;
while the Prince of Wales solicited her to
bestow her hand upon himself, backing his
suit by an offer Of a private marriage, princey
settlement, &C. The young lady, waverng
and somewhat perplexed between these noble
offers which courted her acceptance, requested
Lady Jersey to give her advice how she should
act. The Countess recommended her not to
consult her heart upon the occasion, but ST.
Nicholas, who was the patron saint of virgins.
The saint accordingly appeared to her, but
whether when sleeping or waking history is
silent, but he decided against both. Soon after
Miss Rochtorth met Mr.. Henry Wallingtord,
then the handsomest man Of the day A mu-
tual passion sprang up between them, and in
due course they were united. Mr.. Waing-
ford died in 1910, so that his wife has survived
him for the long term Of 40 years.

The wedding party met before the ceremony

they arrived at an inn named the Ring of Bells
the bride found fault with her intended hus-
band for not having his shoes clean. They,
however, still pursued their journey, but so
shocked was she on going along the aisle of
the church in company with the dirty boots
that she renewed her complaints, and, setting
at defiance all remonstrance, left the church
and refused to be married Dinner had been
provided for sixteen and tea for twenty. Af
ter the return Of the wedding party, the pro-
portion of expenses to be borne by each party
