Within few weeks two American slavers
have been captured with large cargoes of
Democratic property on board. One was
the ssWildfre " the other the "Williams. p
The following incident Of these captures is
related:
Among the rescued from the bark Wiidfire
is a middle aged woman and three children.
She seemed quiet and subdued in manner,
and excited no special attention, other than
that she had part of her family with her.
Her great hope was to meet the others, from
whom fate had separated her. On the land
ing OF the Williams cargo, she, with others
of the first arrivai, pueped at the fence which
separated the new corners from the old
Quick maternal instinct discovered one, two,
three and four, among the crowd, whom she
claimed as her daughters. She gave vent to
her JOY, in the loud language OF song, and
the children hearing the familiar air of home.
caught sight Of the singer, in whom they
found their lost mother. The meeting was
one OF tumultaous JOY; shouts rose from
three hundred voices, in the gladness of q
simple mother, and with her four daughters
entwined in each others 6rms, the mother
took them with her to meet the long separa-
ted, OF whose fate each party was in utter
ignorance.

Der, who, il they have not had greater ex-
perience than have in that honorable pro-
fession, have reflected greater credit upon it..
Ii is this paper that cannot airport itself
cannot be OF any service to party; to do
pend upon it is like leaning upon q man who
cannot stand up; to spend money upon it is
like wasting fuel in the attempt to kindle a
stone. The day when such papers were read
has passed; and the day has long since ar
rived when paper, TO be OF service to a
party, must first establish value 10 the pub
lie. IL must acquire a character for the re.
liability of its facts and for the candor Of its
arguments !; it must be, in considerable de,
gree, independent of party, before a party
can derive any great value from it's services.
OF all the foolish expenditures that are made
for political purposes, none are more useless
and wasseful than those for the support of
the class of newspapers that very few read
and that nobody believes.

The Greaf Principle of Dem ocracy
kepudaaIed.

Ii has been a fundamental and uncontro-
verified rule OF Democratic National Conven-
tions for twenty years pact to require tyo.
thirds vote 10 nominate their candidate for
President.
BY thas rule 203 votes were required to
nominate at Charleston or Ba fillmore, but
Douglas could not get that number, and
thereupen the Convention falsifed the prin.
oiple and the practice of the party by reso-
luton declaring Douglas the nominee OF the
Convention "according to the usages OF the
Democratic party"
Thus fraud and outrage were solemnly
sealed by falsehood in the act, finally con.
summating the nomination of the rump Con-
vention.

The split halves of the Baltimore Conven-
ton each adopted its own platform, as we'll
as nominated its own candidates.
The Bobtail Squatsers adopted the Cincin-
natl platform with bred Scott for . rider,
and the Nationals added slave code to the
Cincinnati platform, Thus il will be seen
that both the Bobtails and the Nationals
Hgree in favor Of extending slavery into ell
the Territories of the United States. The
difference between them is one of form and
not of substance. One would extend and
protect slavery there by executive power
and the other, more honest and bold, would
protect slavery BY direct legislation. Prac-
tieally, there is not as much difference as be.
tween tweedle-dum and tweedle-dee.
