In its leading article the Gozette encoura-
ges the Veneiians 10 rebel against the tyran-
ny of Austria. The Gozetle ought mt to do
So 1t is wrong to "coagulate mob'' that
can accomplish nothing nut its own destruc-
ton. The chains which bind Venetia to the
Austrian throne are too strong to be broken
by people who are awed by the lawful
glory of a crown and tremble at tyrant's
name. Had the Yankees been as much afraid
OF the British Lion as the Venetians are OF
the Austrian Eagle, UsCLE SAM would have
been strangl' d in bis infancy, Bunker Hill
Monument would now be slumbering in the
quarry, and the Great National Democratic
Party would not to-day be in search of local
habitation for the Charleston Convention
Your Yankee sees nothing at which to be
overawed in a crown, and, as some doggereli-
Ter says,
"woGld shake the Kings hand with his old Felt
hat on,
And address him by the title of lister,
Would ask him IN price OF the throne he sat on,
And kiss the Queens il till he raised blister,
But if our neighbor can induce his Vanetian
friends to raise the flag Of rebellion and strike
will cheerfully grant them the use of our
columns to defend themselves, if they find
they can't do it with their swords-a fav or

Hungary and Poland also.

The Banner has an article in reply, princi-
pally, to the question of the Union: us it the
part of wisdom to attempt to form new
party which shall ignore the slavery question
in the face of triumphant enemy ~ The
Banner answers at some length Had the
question been addressed to us, we should
have answered briefly the attempt to form
new party, together with success in the en-
terprise, is not the part of wisdom-it is the
whole of it The great obj ct of everybody
just now is to 'save the Union" and as the
Democratic and Republican parties can't save
themselves, it is not to be expected that they
can save anything else.
Republican Principles and Measures are
the subject of the leading article in the
Macs. Upon the authority of Mr.. WADE, OF
Ohio. the Ne,os gives the following as the
measures of that party:
Il. The limitation of slavery within its
present bounds-the prohibition of its extern
sion into the territories Of The United States.
~. The homestead mpasure-the greatest
measure that Mr.. Wade knows OIL to mould
iia tie right direction the Territories belonging
TO this nation
80. Protection, by means of discriminating
duties On foreign Imports TO our own laUOr
against the pauper labor of Europe"
That strikes us as being very small plat
form foT large party to stand on-though
it is probably not SO small as it seems to be.
and is what OLD GAM would call multum
IN pdrUo platform.
The Union has an article with the ponder
Gus head, BLACK epublicanism-Southe
ures-Extraordinary Profits" In
the section of the article devoted to Repsb-
licanism, the Union says: 1.-The practical re-
suit of Black Republican doctrines, as carri-
| ed out at Harper's Ferry, has excited the
indig nalion of the SOUTH That little carry
lng-out of doctrines at Harper's Ferry toas
rather calculated to excite Indignation, es-
| pecially around in that neck of woods where
the thing occurred But We fear our good
neghbors of the Union have COMPOUNDED t he
doctrines of the Republicans with those of
| the Abolitionists. 1t was the latter, and not
the former, that were carried out at Harper's
Ferry. The Republicans had about as much
to do with the JoHN BROwN raid as the De-
mocracy, and il has never been charged that
the latter had any direct hand in the affair
The Republican party would prevent the
extension of slave territory. but does not
seek, and has never sought, the abolition of
slavery. At least, that is not on. of it's
avowed objects, whatever its wishes and un-
written designs may be. Withhold not from
the Republicans that which you would not
deny the devil. Fiat JUSTIN ruat Democracy.
1t is not in their eyes that the martyrdom of
| ST. OssAworroMIE has rendered the gallows of
Charlestown as glorious as the cross of
Calvary. They may agree with the poor
maniac LYDIA MARIA, and the poet who
| furnished her the sentiment, that
| ''Whether upon the galIows high,
or in tn battles van,
| The noblest place for man 10 die
| Is where he dies for man;''
but they do not believe with her that JOHN
BRowN died a martyr to a righteous canse,
nor that he died leaving earth in orphanage
aud hell in jubilee.
