1 From the Liyerpoo! Mercury Oct 81
1t was rumored in Liverpool on Wednes-
| day that mysterious steamer had sailed
from Mercy ION trial trip" IL WAS
reported, and believed by many, that the
vessel is y sister chip to the notorious

. JEALOUS inquiry has been made, we can
nos trace the rumor to any reliable source.
From the London rimes, Now
The vessel alluded TO is the CDiun, bia
of the Galway line. She has been rebuilt
by Messrs Laird, and made successful
trip on Wednesday. The statement re-
Gently circulated respecting the building
Of nms, g., on the Mersey, are false
Since the tispatch of the Alabama, or

The DEMOCRATIC FIRE In THE REAR.
The robbery of the Government by
Democratic clerks ipjudiciou>iy retained
in the New York Custom House, is only
another exhibition of the Democratic
principle which releases the Democracy
from its allegiance TO the Government as
soon as it passes from the control of the
party, and makes it party duty to des.
troy the Government. This every one
does according to his several ability. The
ruling class are rebels, while the followers
in the North tovi their accusations
against the Government and plumber it.
The Government has 10 enc, unter Zero
cratic rebellion in the South, the cowarily
maIignIty of the same party IN the North,
and its robbcres wherever the Admins
tration has magnanimously retained it in
office, or given it any opportunity to
touch the army expenditures. If our at
| tiletod country survives all this, it will be
a miracle of vitslity.-[Cincinnati GAz
We have the best authority for stating
that Gen Cass, in communication to
the President, has expressed the fullest
~aplrcval of the removal of Gen. McCIel-
Ian from the command of our army In
! Virginia, y. 1. fost,
We have no doubt of it. Gen. Cass,
like most OF the Northern Breckenridge
leaders, is so suspicious as t, tie opinion
OF the country concerning the virtue of
his own loyalty that he deems it necessa-
~, in constant proof of it, to make haste
TO proclaim bis adhesion to the most radi-
cal measures of the administration. We
should pity the old man IL he had not for
felted all claim even to Pity
Thus talks the Chicago Times about
Gen. Cass. II is no part Of our duty to
defend the General from its aspersions.
We merely copy them to show how slight
a claim to lifelong adherence to the Dem
ocratlc party is to the respect of its own
leaders, unless it is now obedient to those
whose idea Of democracy is submission
and consent to all the demands of revolt
ed traitors 1t will not do for any dem
ocrat to display the slightest symptom of
independence or patriotism. He must be
careful not to approve any act of the
President, however wise, necessary or
just it may be. He must be careful to
"catch the cue from those who now lead
and control 'the partyl' II he does
not, he mast expect 10 be read out of it,
with plentiful spateriug of the foulest
caiumny. 1t is quite evident that de
mocracy, as now Interpreted by its expo
nents, is absolutely incompatible either
with manliness or patriotism Il Hawkeye.
NORTH CAROLINA IN THE NEXT Cox.
GREss.-ln regard to a Congressional
selection in the Old North State, We would
say that We feel perfectly authorized to
state that no warrant will be issued for
) such an election, unless desire is mani.
tested on the part of the good people Of
this State. This desire should be imme-
, diately made manifest by circulating a
simple petition TO his excelency, Gov.
, Stanley, praying him to order an election,
, circulating 1t among your neighbors, and
immediately returning it to the governor
:, lfa respectable interest is manifested ir
tins manner, an election will be ordered
" and this good old State of North Caroline
