Democrats do not abound very plentifully
in 'qbenighted Ashtabula," but the stock is Of
true jackson descent. They abhor Squatter
Sovereignty, and have been so long in mi
norities that they like them, and the smaller
the better it suits the indomitsbles. They
have no Democratic organ in the county and
never had, while no less than three good Re
publican journals are well sustained.
Onewould suppose that of all the counties
in Ohio, Ashtabula would be the last to organ

ever, among the first, meeting having been
called at jefferson, Sept. 22d, for the purpose

Ashtabula for full vote, just as soon as they

Tbe CarjbaIdi Fever in Italy.

The accounts from Italy show to what a
pitch of enthusiasm Garibaldi's prestige and
success have excited the national mind. A
letter from Turin in the Constitutional gives
some account of the popular delirium. The
following is an extract:
'Facts so strange are occurring here that
should hesitate to believe them had I not wit
messed them with my own eyes. Young men
belonging to the richest and noblest families
abandon their homes of their own accord
They disappear one hne morning without say
ing a word to their relatives, and at night
their anxious families, not seeing them re-
turn, guess whittier they had gone. They
have set out ior Sicily. They start without
money, on foot, and their friends, in presence
Oftheir immOVeable resolution, have no re-
source but resignation. Even children are
affected by the contagion, and escape from
school to go to Sicily. The case has occurred
at Milan, Turin, everywhere. Their COM
rades make collection; they empty their
purses into the hand of those who are setting
out, and are proud of this act of preeOciOus
patriotism. The chief of the establishment
informs the family Of the disappearance of
the boy; sometimes it is too late.
We read last week in Sicilian journal, an
advertisement inserted by father who claim
ed his son. It was couched in affecting terms.
The father told his child that he knew he was
in Sicily, that he did not wish to prevent his
remaining there, but that he desired to see
him, to embrace him, and to provide him
with money, and to this end be made an ap-
pointment with him in a Palermo coffee
house. The boy was l3 years of age. The
Government cannotprevent the departure Of
expeditions It would not succeed in so do
ing. At Milan last week saw 1000 Lom-
bards and Venetians enrol themselves. Many
were refused upon various pretexts. They
even went so far as to exact from them the
sum Of 20f. on pretence that they must pay
their equipment-a green blouse faced with
red, which is the uniform of the Lombard Le-
gion. Those who had the 2Of gave them
without the least hesitation; all emptied their
purses into the hands Of the recruiting officer,
and if the sum required was not complete
they entreated, even with tears, to be taken
at a lower rate. l saw these volunteers set
off. Half Of the population accompanied
them to the gates of the city with cries and

Wonders in politics as well as in everything
else viii never cease. The latest political
marvel is the serious movement making by
portion Of the Democracy of Maryland to
bring out Judge Tsney for President and
Judge Nelson for Vice President A meet
ing was held at LeOuardstown, Maryland, on
the lst ior this purpose, and the Maryland
Beacon says ait was attended by large num-
Der Of Democrats of the county" Speeches
were made By several and resolutions were
adopted requesting Breckenridge and Lane
and Douglas and johnson to withdraw from
the contest and nominating Chief Justice
Roger B. Taney, Of Nd, and Judge Nelson,
Of New YORK, as the Democratic candidates
for President and Vice President
Here IS ticket the entire democracy can
fuse on. No platform viii be required. The
candidates embody the Dred Scott decision,
with ripe age, rare prO-slavery subserviency.
Hanl of Douglas and Breckenridge say the
Maryland Democracy, and Taney viii hobble
into the Presidency beyond question. The
Union viii then be saved and safe. Let the
dem6ralized party duly weigh and adopt the
very modest proposition. Dred Scott Taney
will be sure to beat Honest Old Abe out of
sight-in the rearl

The sectnrinn Fcuds-i m Cnnado.

The Orangemen have greatly marred the
good feeling and eclat of the Prince of Wales
demonstrations in the Upper Province, and
in some of the cities have endangered the
public peace by their threats and partisan
strife. The Prince utterly refused to par.ake
Of party 5ospitalities, and in some instances
refused to land at all in consequence of the
arrangements for his reception being partisan
"0f all existing prejudices," remarks the
Buffalo Courier, " those of religious ssctarian-
ism are the most obstinate Two hundred
years ago, the Prince of Orange overcame
King James at Boyne, in a politico-religious
war, and ever since partlsans of both sides
have been keeping up the feud as bitterly as if
it were but yesterday that the occurrence hap
pened. One would suppose couple ofcen-
turies were sufficient to soften their seotarian
asperities that they would, if the connec-
ton Of Church with State in England and
Ireland had not served to keep them sharp
and bitter, by making religious fervOr and
political zeal reciprocally contribute their fires
TO warm each others spirit In Ireland these
ieuds have frequently been a source of disor-
der. We have felt some of their effects in
this country, to which the emigrants transfer
red their prejudices with their persons. But
in Canada, the most active indications of the
temper Of these controversies are most to be
found, The Orange Lodges, which represen-
ted the King William party, insist upon show
ing the Prince of Wales how long and how
bitter partisan feeling can rule. They are not
content to receive him, their future sovereign,
simply as subjects hut they are determined
that he shall be received as a Protestant
Prince by Protestant people, and so often
sively have they obtruded their secretarian
zeal upon the Prince, that he has been COM
PEELED to refuse meeting them, wherever dem
onstrations of this kind have been made. In
this he is sustained by the good sense of the
people generally in Upper Canadn, though
the Orange factions are indignant and take
very offensive ways of showing their indig-

Firinr or nc Grear FIoyd Gun.


The monster cannon manufactured at
Pittsburgh, was submitted to its first firing
test at Old Point Comfort on the 2sth ult., to
the great satisfaction OF the Artillery officers.
The first shell, weighing 800 pounds was
thrown fifteen hundred and forty yards at an
angle Offfy FIVE degrees, and, striking the
sand, bounced seven hundred and fifty yards
further. The charge of powder was twenty
pounds. The second shell, weighing 32s
pounds, was thrown something upwards of
four miles on the water, at an angle Of forty
degrees, and with charge of twenty-five
pounds of powder. The powder with which
this gun is fred is in grains of about one inch
cube. The report is not so loud as that made
by the ten-inch guns on the ramparts, but
the whistling OF the shell through the air is
terrific. The shell thrown upon the water
was fOrty-two seconds in the air before strik-
ing. The g Floyd gun is pronounced sue
cess, and there seems to be no doubt it will
reach range six or eight miles. ltweighs
49, ,099 lbs, and cost in its casting Sl0,-
900.
Lieut.. Boggs, a promising young officer, is
preparing to testthe aFloyd' shells by means
Of an ingenious telegraphic arrangement -
As the she'll passes from the mouth of the
cannon it cuts wire, which produces a cur
rent and sets in motion pendulum at an
instrument securely arranged under the-onse-
mate of thefort. The target placed at fixed
distance is covered with q series OF wires, one
Of which must be cut by the shell when it
strikes the target. The moment the second
wire is cut the current is broken, and the pen
dulum instantly stops, marking the space
through which it had passed during the time
the shell was passing between the two wires

The indianapolis Sentinel publishes let
ter from Hersohel V. Johnson, the distin-
guished disnnionist placed by Committee on
the ticket with Douglas for Vice President
stating that il bis engagements will permit,
he will certainly attend the Douglas meeting
at indianapolis on the cath Of September. 1t
is to be hoped that MIR, Johnson will get to
indianapolis when Mr. Douglas is there, and
that they will speak from the same stand
Such an exhibition of Presidential stumpers
will be sure to be followed by Vermont and
Maine results at the polls.
Ffcandidate johnson comes North, hemust
answer the same questions propounded to the
stumping Douglas atNoriolk, Virginia. The
HOOshers win want to know if he will now
stand right up to the Union rack, "fodder or
no fodder" In 1856 he was for resistance
aud disunion in case of the election of Col.
Fremont A nice candidate he to ask for the
suffages of Western ffeemen, who holds that
Capital should own its own Labor" and
who, only four years ago Sept 1866, wrote
letter to the editor of the Philadelphia
North American, in which he used the follow
ing treasonable language:
al suppose Mr.. Fremont if elected, win
prove true to his own declarations, to the
platform Of his party, and the expectations of
his party supporters. If so, his election will
inaugurate a line of public policy and Con-
gressional action that MUST DRIVE THE
SOUTHERN STATES TO DISSOLUTION.
He may deceive his party, &c. But this, you
will allow, is rather broken reed for the
South 70 lean upon; and, therefore, has cleo

HamTiton County Democracy.

The demoralized Douglas Democracy of
Hamilton nominated a county ticket on the
llth, and without the disgracefll scenes of
Woods Theatre Convention, M. Pleasant
the place Of the adjourned meeting, is out Of
the city, and all the liquor shops were shutuP
until the business Of the meeting closed The
ticket is BEADED BY J. B. Armstrong for sher-
if, Adam HornUng for Clerk, and Alex.
Psddoek for Probate Judge. The Gazette
says
iiAn exclusively Douglasite ticket was
nominated at Mount Pleasant. The dose was
strengthened by fhe passage Of doubiy con-
centrats8 Donglasite resolutions. The Breck-

DonrIns-BeIl Fu.Ion in New Yorl..

The Douglas-Bell in New York gives out
a very cracked sound. It is the fusion Of
demagogue leaders, and not of the honest
masses. The Rochester Democrat publishes
a call signed by nearly FIVE hundred Ameri-
cans of Monroe county, who are disgusted
with the Douglas fusion, for a Lincoln and
Hamlin meeting. Both the orators for the
occasion have hitherto been active Americans.
The Albany Journal says
eve recognize among the names the life
and soul of the American party in Monroe
county. Nothing more significant has oc-
Cured during the campaign"

WASHINGTON, August II. 1850.


Ny DEAR SIR IL have received your fa-
vor of the sth inst, enclosing printed ex-
tract from the recent speech of Judge Doug
las, at Concord. You inform me you expect
to be at the Charlottesville Convention, and
would be glad to know something of the in
terview referred to in that speech. Accord
ing to this extract the Judge states:
''The President told me il 1 did not obey him, and
vote to force the LecOmptOn Constitution on the
people agaast their will he would take of the head
Of every friend had in Office"
Itis unnecessary to quote the alleged reply
Of the Judge. Surely there must have been
some mistake in the report of the speech be-
cause / nevsT held any such conversation igith
Judge Douglas, nor any conversation tUhatsUer
Gfording the least color or pretert tor such a
statement. 1t was not in my nature to ad-
dress such threatening and insulting Ian
guage to any gentleman. Besides, have
not removed one in ten of his friends, and
not one of his relatives. Even among those
of his friends who have rendered themselves
prominently hostile to the measures of the
Administration, a majority still remain in Of
fce. might add thatI have never held a
political conversation with Judge DOnglas on
this or any other subject since the day on
which my hrst animal message, Of the Sth OF
December, 1857, was read in the Senate; and
did not transmit the Kansas Constitution
to Congress until the ID of February, 1858,
the question of slavery not having been de-
cided by a vote of the people until the 2lst
of December 1857.
Now, my dear sir, in writing to you have
transgressed rule which 1 had prescribed
for myself, not to contradict any statements
assailing my public condnct or character un-
til after the conclusion of my term Of Office.
A statement however, comes with such force
IRON Senator Of the United States, who is
one of my constitutional advisers-and this
too, in published speech delivered by him
in his canvass for the highest elective Office in
the world-that deem the present case a
proper exception.
Yours, most truly.

aad thick winter clothing in use in the open
air. A gentleman who spent from the 25th

that he saw the sun set but twice, and then
not for an hour duration, and for two weeks
previous in France it rained every day, with
but one or two exceptions.

ornnns Excesse, ut Toronto.

It seems that the truce of the Orange men
at Toronto proved hollow one The dis
graceful excesses on Sunday are in substance
thus stated by the correspondents of the N.
Y. press A compromise had been patched
up, but on Sunday the fire of faction blazed
more fercely than ever. An Orange arch,
with offensive inscriptions, had been erected
over a street through which it was thought
the Prince would pass in going to church
Instead Of doing SO, however, he was driven
by a round about way. The 0rangemen
were enraged; they thronged the church, and
behaved very badly during the whole of the
service. As the royal party were riding
home, they were hissed, and the mob attempt
ed to stop the Princes carriage, take out the
horses, and drag the royal visitor, HOleHs %
lens, under the arch. The eoachman piled
his whip and drove rapidly through the mob
who yelled and shouted, but were prevented
by the police from making further demon
strations until the Prince and his party were
beyond their reach. The Prince, it is said
turned pale, but the Duke of Newcastle was
firm and decided, and merely told the driver
to urge his horses to their utmost speed
Soon after, several 0Fangemen mounted the
arch and suspended FIVE very obnoxious ban
ners and several partizan inscriptions upon it.
