DEMOCRATIC HOWLENGs.

Everybody not stone blind knows that
tbe,e is fixed determination on TIE part
If "a, leaders OF the Democratic party TO break
doun n, Administration and if possible thwart
+, in its 4. forts TO crush the Rebellion. The
LAT. CHARGE OF Recorder Hoffman is part Of
the ,,lan whc,l, if successfully inaugurated in this
city j.. 70 BE- m, yersally adopted throughout the
North. The Democratic party is not yet ready
to assume position Of forcble or armed op.
positjon 10 the Federal Government Though it
ia surely drifting that way, but being bent on
DESTROYING the present constitutional author'
ties. that party is eDdeavoring by if' partisan
Judges. by its traitotous orators, BY iss lying
presses. TO make the National Administration
odious with the people, and thus Influence them
to withhold men and money for the prosecution
Of the war Tor the Union. Is the di.loyalty Of
tie Democratic party questioned! That party
has learned from tho ballotbox during the past
ten wear, that the Anti. Slavery sentiment Of
the Free States is growing much flster
than ths Democratic Pro-Slayery sentiment
Of those States, and that without the votes OF
their slave breeding, women-whlpping, baby
selling Democratic compeers in the now Re-
bellious States, they, the Northern Dem
ocrats. can never again hope 10 get control
of the national Government. Hence their al
tempts 10 destroy .be present Administration
by their howngs about &" illegal arrests"
- violation of personal rights, the - guaran-
tees of the Constitution" the " sacredness Of
the citizen" and so on, al nauseah. Tho
Democratic leaders, who drive the party in
the North as their Southern colleagues drive
their slaves, knowing that our people are
Jealous of their rights, think and intend by
these howlngs 70 arouse Indignation against
the Government, and thus destroy It's power.
and compel it to end the war on such terms
as will suit the Democratic Rebels OF the
South--when these Northern leaders of the
once more united national Democracy hope to
reinstate themselves in Union offices, and
again bow the nation down TO that political
god OF modern Democracy negro Slavery.
THIS ia the programme, and Recorder Hoi-
man and all other partisan judges like hun
and Judge DAILY, are but doing the dirty work
of Secession in making grand jury charges
and dinner speeches that serve to render tho
Government unpopular.

DIR CALIFORNIA TRADE.

1t is most unlikely that the Alabama viii

With every disposition to welcome any fair
and practical proposition looking to the restO.
ration of Peace to our distracted country, we
must regard the abose as AT once useless aud
miscellaneous. Here are our reasons:
|. The change of place of meeting for the
proposed Convention from the free City OF
Washington to intensely slayeholding Louisville
is concession that ought not to be voluntarily
made. IL foreshadows one of those base aud
cowardly compromises which are the oppro-
brum Of our National history. If A. and b..
fall to fighting and in due time get sick Of it,,
and want to stop, let them do so at their own
proper cost, and not by consplring to rob C..
still more lagrantly of his nalienable rights.
H.. Had the slaveholding Rebels chosen to
settle our differences by Convention, they
could have had one in 1861. President Lin.
coin, Gov. Morgan, &C., to say nothing of
| THE TRIBUNE, were anxious to have such Con-
yention, aud the Republicans generally would
have heartily cooperaed in calling one, in full
view of the fact that the allied champions of
Slavery would probably have had majority
therein. But the Northern Democracy were
then 50 intent on making the Republicans be-
tray and disown their cardinal principle Of re-
sistance TO Slavery Extension, and so sangune
Vi lhcii apnity W co" us ihIo inat shhhicIui
apostasy, that they had not a word to say in
favor of a Convention. So the South, without
distinction Of party, spurned the suggestion OF
"A Convention, counting on Northern revolu-
ton in favor Of the rampant Slave Power, and
the election of President Lincoln and the Re
publIcans from Office by violence. Thus. when
a Convention might have ayerted civil war, il
was spurned by our adversaries: now We see
no good to DO achieved by it.

But is there no possibility of Pence

But is there no possibility of Peace
We answer, Yes, certainly; but let those
who began the War make the first oycriures
looking to Pence. They were not satisfied
with peaceably taking; thoy rushed on to bonn
harding; aud when they want peace they eau
surely say so. Until they do, all clainor for
it a. the North is amply giving encouragement
to the Rebellion.
Should the insurgents propose to settle our
differences by friendly and untrammcled arbi-
tratlon, we would gladly see the overture met
in conciliatory spirit. True, we could not
consent to submit our differences to any mon
arch who has eyinced a disposition adverse f.
the Union, and especially to one who has the
strongest personal reason for wishing TO prove
republican institutions nprscticable aud a fail
ure. On the other hand, the Rebels would
doubtless object to tho arbitration OF tho En-
peror of Russia, because he has eyinced a
decided partiality for the preservation of the
Union. We SOC no other resort so fair and
feasible as that We have already suggested

A Card.

YNHE readers of the Southwestern will
l. remember seeing in the columns Of
that paper of August 9th card over the
signature of one Mrs. Mary Larmier, re-
fleeing upon the character of the under
signed, for having attended T. public auc-
for sale, agreeable to published advertise
ment.
The writer of that card attempts to force
the public into the belief that have been
guilty of q base misdemeanor. Not salts

lows ailudcs to me. 1t was not my inten-
ton to notice this sarry effort of the writer,
knowing that barking dogs will not bite,
yet, after consideration, l deem 1t advisa-
bic to refute the charge, by giving the par
ticuIars of the whole affair, not however,
that deem it necessary in this community :,
for my standing is above reproach, but
to prevent the impression abroad, that the
barking dog is lion
1t is we'll known to this community that
Mrs. Larmier is an iliiterate temale-that
she can neither read nor write; she must
therefore have heen urged to do this, by
some unprincipled person. The facts Of
the case are as follows.
l was not aware that there was to be a
sale, until my attention was objected to 1t
by my bookkeeper, Mr.. Bernard, who.
knowing that I was anxious to buy good
house servant, recommended the negro wo-
man, and advised my attending the sale,
which did. intending to pay as high as
any person for the woman. l was not
lead to understand that Mrs. Larmier de-
sired buying in the negroes, or should not
have attended the sale. supposed l was
bidding against Mr.. Denbreun, who offer
ed goo, Mrs. l. then bid 27Uo, then, sup
posing that Mrs l.. desired running the
negro up to high figures, bid 1000, sup
posing others would then cease bidding, as
that was, in my estimation, even more
than the negro was WORTH, but being anx-
ious to own the negro l made the bid, and
that was the only bid l made. Mrs. Lar
| micr is we'll aware that I have never spoken
4 word to her in my life, aud therefore as u
, matter of course could not be acquainted
with her circumstances or Intentions; and
| l will repeat again, had l known that Mrs.
Lar,uier wanted the negro. l shoald not

The Rebel Navy at Liverpool.

Liverpool would appear to be
kind of Confederate dock, .juagingb by
the vessels, new and old, which have
left that port for the South since the
commencement Of the civil war in
America. The Ovieto, a new iron
vessel built for the Cenfederates, left
the Mersey some time since for Mas
sau, where she arrived safely. How
ever, while attempting to fit out for
sea, the Admiralty Court seized her
for an infringement sf the Foreign
Enlistment Act, and the last advices
from Nassau left her in the hands Of
the British commandments that station.
Another new iron vessel, with the
rather mysterious name of"29O.' lett
the Birkenhead docks on Tuesday
morning and proceeded to sea, and on
Wednesday she was discovered lying
to off Tusker, awaiting the arrival of
the Hercules steam tug, from Liver
pool, with complement oftifty men
The 1890" is rather nice-looking
steamer, and her destination is either
Nassau or Havana She may proba
bly, take preliminary cruise in the
Atlantic.
This circumstance, together with
the sailing of the Confederate steam
ship Merrimac, Capt. Rowe, from,
Plymouth Sound, (where she has been
lying since June ~ may probably
account for the departure of the Fed
eral man Of war steamer Tuscarora
from Southampton early on the morn
ing of the 30th which will no doubt
do her best to prevent either of these
steamers reaching Southern ports.
| The Tuscarora is a splendid sailer.
