The New York Ledger, . decided
war paper, takes the position that the
triumph Of the Democratic party i
necessary to restore the Union a. il
was. 1t forcibly and justly remarks;
While the Northern States, through
Republican triumph, are held in .

the South, there can b. no hope fol
anything like a peaceful settlement Of
orr difficulties; while on the other
hand, if the Democracy once would
assume power at tho North, it 10 evil

mcnts and tho frat step towards a.
end Of the war. We claim thai, q
this crisis in our affairs, the Demo
cratic party can alone bring Us out Of
the dangers by which we arc sur-ocn-
ded, and only..through its instrument
tally can our almoet dissolved Union
30 reconstructed and rendered pcrns-
nent for al future time.
The Republican party is .incompe-
tent to perform this high and noble
mission. That party failed to meet
the emergencies Of the occasion in
the last Congress, and it must stand
aside to allow the National men Of
tho Democracy to givs.such direction
to public affairs as will lead to : hap
py and honorable peace.
The triumph OF the Democracy il
necessary to demonstrate practically
to the Union men Of the South, that
the time honored Democratic party is
once more triumphant at the North,
and tho hope for restoration Of the
old Union Is speedy and sincere.

On last Thursday, Messrs. Ayers: 4

the acqueduct WAS built across that

and went down with . full load Of

Foreign News.

CAPE RACE, August e-The following is a
duplicate of news per the City of Baltimore, which
sailed on the Both, but the Jura anticipated her
arrival.
The Paris correspondent of the London Times
believes the American question occupies the most
serious attention OF Napoleon, and that a council
OF Ministers had been held upon it. He would
not be surprised if the matter were laid before the
English Government in still more pressing man
ner with view of a speedy solution. He urges
that the movement must be speedy, too, if our
mission be of effect, in view OF the possible re-
election of the present Congress. He says-I do
not intend TO say whether the movement will be
followed by any immediate effect, whether France
will take the lead. with the expectation that Eng
land can not do otherwise than follow, or whether
both will at the same time. | only know France
Is convinced that the present moment is The most
opportune for united action. He insnuates that
Lincoln and some of his advisers would not OBJ
ject to some gentle pressure.
The Times, editorially, continues to point out
the Federal prospects as most gloomy; but the
Daily News combats such views, and speaks of
the Northern policy with continued confidence.
Most of the London journals allude to the
financial crisis in America, and reiteraie their
structures upon the false financial policy Of the
Government.
The Star charges the Washington G, vern-
hche WIN ehc mOSe ucPiOi"oic 'SnOiahSo vi true
economy.
The Times figures that if the position had been
reversed, the Americans would never have re-
cognized the blackade as England has done, but
would have broken il under plea of self pres
ervation.
Some Of the journals attack Archbishop
Hughes for certain revolutionary remarks which
he made in a speech in the Dublin Parliament
ITALY.-Garibaldi, in the course of his speech
at MARSHA, several times made use of the phrase
"Rome or DEATH" to which the people respond
cd each time, Yes, Rome or Death" He spoke
in violent terms Of Napoleon, and said We had
given him Nice and Savoy, and he wishes for
something more. Yes, know he has one prince
ready for Rome, another for Naples.
AT the banquet ut Palermo in honor Of Mar
quis Paleracini, Garibaldi proposed toast. con-
GLIDING with the words Rome or Death--but at
Rome with Victor Emanuel ut our head"
