inAt1ono. "
By our telsgraphic dispatchap, il win y
seem that the last nail IN The coffin Of til
Demoaatie party has bean driven, aad
clinched. Breckinridge and Lape made
speeches, Monday night, definitely accepting
ths nominations Of the Seceders. Douglas
accepted his nomination in speech made on
Saturday night. The few scattering Douglas
man Of this place made loud boasts, yesterday,
th.t the nomination Of Breckinridge end Lane
m. ali sham, made for the purpose Of keep
ing up appearances, and that Breckenridge
MA nominated with the knowledge that no
would decline. These assertions were evl'
IDENTITY made merely to keep up their spirits.
In the midst Of this hallucination Of mind on
the mart Of our wavering Douglas friends came !.
the teleeraphic news Of yesterday like 4
thundsr-clap, that Brecknridge and Lane had
both accepted. This news was tho death
knell to their last feeble hope. Right on the
heel. Of this discouraging announcement came
another messenger. bearing the evil tidings
that their candidate for Vice President,
Fitspatrick, Of Alabama, had declined. II
ANYTHING was wanting to fill up the cup Of
their bitter griefs, this news caused 1t to
overflow. Tears, oaths, imprecations, were
weak to express their rage and despair. -.
We have immediately revised our table OF
the electoral votes. We yesterday gave
Douglas ens Stase-Dslawsre. Wenow take
that back. We don't know who will carry it,
and we don't care. It makes not bit Of
difference to US. We are happy in tho
assured conviction that an honest mantle
man whose name was proudly presented, BY
the assembled thousands at Chicago, to the
American people-AsRAHAx LlscoIs-wil'
next 4th of March, take his seat in the White
House, amidst the plaudits of q united people,
and the heartfelt consratulation Of oil friends

The Douglas National Committee, on the
reception of Fitzpatrick's declination, appar'
emily fastened together, and picked up the
first unlucky individual on whom they could
lay their hands, and forced hira to accept TIT
nomination. Like that ancient country where
when the king died, they were accustomed Il
seize upon the first unlucky stranger whe
made his appearance on their shores, ane
force the vacant crown on his brow, 50 thu

PRossEss.--In old times, they tied stones
around the necks of persons charged with
witchcraft, and threw them into the river. If
they swan out, they hung them up as guilty;
and, if they sank in the water to rise no more,
they were regarded as innocent. Improving
on this, the laws Of the Southern States pro-
vide for the arrest of negroes without masters.
If an owner claims them, they are delivered
up; but, if no owner appears, they are sold
into slavery, after few months, to pay the
expenses of arrest and detention.

The Hsus passed ne Loan and Treasury
Nots bin calling for : loan Of $2l, 0oo, 900;

,ADyouaxxEN4.--1vns 25tA.--The Senate
passed the Post Route bill. After voting to
lay over tho House Consular bill, and the Mail
Route bill between the United States and
1sxice, . committee was appointed to wait on
the President, who returned and reported
nothing further to communicate. The Vice
President then returned thanks, and the
Sfnate adjourned sine die. It was called by
proclamation Of the President, however, to
mea in executive session, tomorrow.
. The House acceded to the request Of the
Senate to appoint another committee of con-
ference ON the Post Office Deficiency bill. A
message was received from the President,
rscapitulating the grounds Of his protest, of
March last, against the proceedings Of the
Covode Committee. He closed by saying
that, should the proceedings Of the Committee
be sanctioned by the House, the Constitution
will have been violated, and the Executive be
no longer an independent branch of the gov
eminent, and the worst fears Of the early
patriots and statesmen will have been realized.
In the name of the representatives Of this great
people, and standing on the ramparts Of, the
Constitution, which they organized and
established, he solemnly protests against these
unconstitutional proceedings. After some
debate, including remarks by Stanton against
the message, it was referred to select CON-
mittee. The House refused to suspend the
rules to take up the Post Route bill, and it is
consequently dead. At noon, the House
adjourned sine die, in good humor.

EThe object of the Republican party, as

to the principles and practices Of its fathers

of their wisdom and example; to aid our
commerce, to send it out upon distant seas'
and to prepare for it Ravens in its distress

the world in its prosperity and Advancement.

WHEN TO SKIN MHK.-A dairy woman
in Western New York speaks in this
emphatic tone as to the best time. She
says that the right time to skim milk is
Just as the milk begins to sour IN the bottom
of the pans. Then the cream is all at the
surface, and should be removed-with
as little of the milk as possible. If al
lowedto remain unil the acid reaches the
cream or to become thick, it diminishes
the cream and impairs it in quality.
That housewife or dairy maid who thinks
to obtain a greater quantity by allowing
the milk to stand beyond that time la.
bors under a most egregious mistake.
Any one who doubts this, has only to
try it to prove the truth Of this assertion
Milk should be looked to at least three
times a day.

But no sooner had q few adopted clt-

pairing to Ruatan, than the acting an-
thorities of Honduras, alarmed Tor thrir
safety, put obstacles in the way ci car
rving out the treaty of the 2Sth OF No
vember, 1859. Guardiola delays to re-
ccivc the Islands, because OF the pre-
scnce of a few men he has injured ;
and thus, for party purposes, not oh'F
icopards the territorial interests OF lioN-
duras, but thwarts, for the moment, "
cardinal object of Central American
policy.
The people of the Bay Islands b"
cngrafted on your Republic only hy
wise concessions properly made. IT,"
existing authorities of Honduras haNc
by their past acts, given proof that thcy
would not make the requisite conccs-
sions. The same policy which Guar
diOla pursued towards the naturallZ"d
Nicaraguans prevents him from purSu-
ing the only curse by which Honduro'
can expect to hold the Islands.
1t becomes, therefore, a common ot-
iect with the naturalized Nicaraguams,
and with the people of the Bay Islands,
to place in the government of Honduras
those who will yield the rights lawfully
required in the two States. Thus The
Nicaraguans will ecure a return to
their adopted country, and the Bay Is
landers will obtain full guarantees from
the sovereignty under which they are
to be placed by the treaty Of the 2Sth
November, 1859.
To obtain, however, the object at
which we aim, we do not make wal
against the people of Honduras, but
only against a Government which
stands in the way of the interests, not
only of Honduras, but Of all Centraz
America. The people of Honduras
may therefore rely on all the protection
they may require for their rights, botlh
of person and property.
