DANCTNG-"I am an old fellow"
says Cowpcr in one of his letters to
Hurdis, "but 1 once had my dancing
days, as you have now; yet never
could learn half so much of a woman s
character by dancing with her as by
convcrsing with her at home, when l
could observe her behavior at the ta-
bic, at the freside, and in all the
trying circumstances of domestic life
We arc ali good when we are pleased
but she is the good woman who wants
not the fiddle to sweeten her"

Sanders on Buchanan.

Mr.. G. n. Sanders, late Navy Agen. or the
port OF New York, and recently dismissed
from office for political contumacy, has writ
ten long letter to Mr.. Buchanan, which
contains more pepper than oil and which will
hardly be agreeable to the palate of the
Usage of the White House. Here is a
specimen of the sty of Mr.. SIS epistle:
Your cumulative intilelitv to the country.
which has brought us to our present disnte.
grating condition, was Swallowed forth in the
beginning of your Administration by base in
gratitude to individuals. Step by step, friend
after friend was sacrificed. The fact
OF previous obligation chilled you :;
great service made any one odious. A Presi
dent should have no ani,rosities. You are
governed only by your hates: affection YOU
have none. But two classes have any hold
upon you those who had opposed
and rcvlled and cowed YOU, and the supple
parasites who fawn upon you. Yet, even
these cannot he devoted II they would. For
the course which is settled on to day is
changed by your vacating mind tomorrow
and on the morrow, the zig Gag programme is
changed again. You even cadcavor to pursue
two opposite courses at once Witness your
open instructions to Gov. Walker, and YOUR
PiN"tc IotuttiOliS w tHc surveyor NcHtTal,
and other officials in Kansas. Witness your
late declaration: Therefore. every Democ, at
is at perfect liberty to vote as he thinks pro.
per - and your secret circular ordering the
dismissal ofevery office holder in favor of
Douglas. Witness your contradictory decla-
ra'ons in regard to naturalized citizens
abroad. Cont addiction upon contradiction
Not only the political. but the social atmos-
phere Of Washington is poisoned by the upas
OF your influence. Such is your perncious
course. that the White House is made uncom /.
Portable for visitors by the obtrusion of
vicious politics into your parlors. It should
be the patriotic pride OF every Administration
to make Washingtona centre of intellectual
brlliancy. But, instead of communinc with
the best minds in the country. and informing
yourself freshly from its different sections.
you make the recesses of the Presidential
mansion labyrin,hs Of espionage, where the
Chief Magistrate sits greedily receiving petty
reports Of detection among his enslaved office
holders. The wisest and most honortd men
Of the country avoid Washington as a moral
pest house.

Dissolution OF THE SOUTH AMERICAN
CuIoN.-The following paragraph briefly
records the particulars Of dissolution Of the
South American Union.
Accounts just received state that on the
Sd instant the State of Bolivar declared itself
independent of the General Government. -
Santander and Magdnlena were to separate
on the same day. In the legislature of the
former State proposition was made to de-
clare it's independence, and was ncgatived
by q vote Of nineteen against two After
wards though. the Assembly authorized the
Governor to declare its independence as soon
rs one of the other States had done So There
are now three out of eight States of the Con-
federation in open hostility against the Gov
eminent, and great disaltction prevails in the
five others.

A NATIONAL PARTY.-The late Democracy

A NATIONAL PARrY.-The late Democracy
prded itself extensively upon being the
National party on whose unity the unity of
the country depended. They had made such
an uproar over this cardinal characteristic
that good many honest. but credu.ous souls
supposed the Union would be sold out in
thirty days after the adjournment of the
Baltimore Convention. The Democracy be-
lievcd themselves, or pretended to believe
that the dissolution Of The Union would fol-
low the dissolution of their party. and yet
they wilfully and persistantly destroyed their
own party on purely personal points Of dif-
ference! The Douglas men on one side. and
the antlDouglas men on the other. preferred
that the Union. or their party, which they
profess to consider tho same thing, should
perish, rather then make any compromise
with each o,hcr The ship of state is in
sight of the breakers, and the warning fac
tons among the crew prefer to F." let her slide
rather than see one of the other side take the
helm! What a philosophical. patriotic and

been in for long lime. when the only cable
which held it to its anchorage was the patrl-

HORRIBLE SLAUGHTER OF CHRISTIANS IN
SYRIA.-Late advices from Syria report that
1000 to 5000 Christians have been slain, and
$50 villages laid waste with fire and sword
by Druses The number above reported as
killed is exclusive of those shot in actual war;
fare The American consul was wounded
and tie Dutch Consul killed at Damascus.
The Druses are principally sect Of the
Mohammedans existing only IN Syria Unita-
rians in their views of the deity, ard believers
in the TRANSPORTATION of souls.
The principal cause of the wholesale saugh-
ter Of Christians going on al latest reports is
thought to artist from old feuds between the
Druses and Mnroniies, who are native chris
tlans. followers of n Monk called Maroon,
who lived in the sixth century. Arab Mus
selmans are said to be in league with the
Druses. 1t is thoasht in France that more
massacres arc in contemplation, and that
the events IN Syria are only a prelude to the
formidable rising of the ottoman population
against the Christians.
France Is preparing for a powerful inter-
vention in Syrs, in behalf of the christians,
and has notified the other European powers
OF the fact.
