YANKEE DEMOCRATS GROwLISG The
Rhode Island Democratic State Convention,
which met last week. nominated Gov. SpTagus
for reelection, and passed among other resolu-
tons, one declaring that "the effort now being
made to divert this war from its original purpose,
and to turn it into a war for the emancipation Of
slaves and the s~ubiugatiou of the Southern
States. or their return to a territorial condition,
is an effort against the Union, against the Con
stitudon, against justice and against humanity,
and should be promptly tro~ned upon by all the
friends Of denOcratic institutions.

their first trip, under the direction of Commo-
dore Randolph, who hoisted his flag ON board
the Morgan. This boat was commanded by
Capt. Kennedy-the other by Lieut. johnson.
The Morgan led off from the wdsrf in 'front.' of
the IRdepeRdeaf Press, and was followed by the
Gaines, which lay a little above. As the flag
ship passed the Florida, Lieut.. Hayes, which
was lying in the stream, she weighed anchor
and Joined in The procession
We cCn!ess to a temptation, but we shallshow
our impregnable virtue BY resisting it. The
temptation is toplay a Yankeetrick, by pretend
ing that the boats are lsmentsbie failures, aud
trust to the devil-the Providence Of all knavish
devices-to disseminate the intelligence through
out the world, thus laying a trap for some COW
ardly, vet iOol-hardy Yankee man-Of-war. But
We can't DO It. We are toO proud Of the boats,
and too well pleased with them every way, 70
make any p~retenses Of the kind
As to their relative merits, happily there is so
much to say on both sides that the p~aTtisans Of
the respective boats are as determined now as
ever. According 10 present appearances the
Gaines is the fastest boat, but the Morgan is the
easiest handled. The Gaines, too, is the best
sea boat, but the Morgan can run where nothing
else can; and, ike the Perry and the Douglas,
both together, they are confident against all the
craft which our crafty foes can send against
them, having metal to cripple any Of them, and
the heels to oYertske any, unless it may be the
cowardly New London. What their speed is the
enemy will fud out if they show the least curl
osity, but it is enough, at the present, TO say that
it is more than any body has ever expected, and
its maximum has not been aSceTtained yet, tor

WHY THE NASHVILLE BROUGHT NO ARMS
The following from the Richmond Enquirer e1-
plains itself:
Some disappointment was expressed by almost
every one, that the Nashville had brought no
arms from Europe for the use Of our government
When, however. It is rscollected that the Nash
Vile was tolerated in English waters, and pro-
tec.ed from destruction BY the neutrality and
courtesy of the British government, our readers
will at once perceive that to have taken IN a car
90 Of war material such As had been interdicted
BY toe Queens proclamation, would have been
a gross violation not only OF hospitality, but of
courtesy and the laws Of neutrality. The Nash
vile, it must be remembered, is a government
war ship, and not a merchantmen.
II Talk on Change Of the New Orleans
Crescent says:
There vas some talk about the lukewamness
of our authorities at Richmond, and the want o.
tact, skill and talentin not procuring larger sup

A TELEGRAPHIc ExPERINENT-It is a
matter of curiosity as to how quick commu.
nication may be made by means of the tclc-
graph. Experience has shown that it is an
instantaneous process. A short time since,
an experiment was tried to illustrate the
point. 1t was agreed that telegrapher at
New York city, in communication with
Chicago, Illinois, should write the letter
S-which is done by making three dots
and that Chicago telegrapher should in
stantly, on hearing the dots, respond by
making the same signs. The plan was car
ried out successfully, and the paper o. the
register at New York showed that the dots
made by both operators stood so nearly to-
gether that it was impossible to write a
single dot between the characters represent
ing the two S S. The response from Chi
cago was recorded as quickly after the sig
nal from New York, as it was possible for
the Chicago telegrapher to make it.

HoMEsTEADs SuRE.-In this era of aggra

the important object can be accomplished.

result
To hear them howl that they are ''Demo-
crats," after they have bolted the organiza-
tions and repudiated the principles of that
party, besides having been authoritatively
''read out"
To hear the pitiful whine they set up for
the support Of Douglas friends, after having
denounced that gentleman, until the grave
closed over him, as an "Abolitionist.
To hear them snivel and pray for re-
conciliation," after all overtures of political
affinity made by them have been again and
again contemptuously spurned by the Doug

To hear them talk of official honesty and
political decency."

CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTs.-Som in

to be connected with the Senatorial uues-
ton, soon to be raised in this State. 1t is
observed that the main opposition to the
measure comes from the Republican mem
bers. 1t is indeed pitiablc that mere per-
sonal and selfish ambitions must obstruet the
passage of this much needed law. The Re-
publican members of this Legislature will
have much to answer tor before the people in
the next election, if these amendments are
defeated. Men wha cannot handle questions
of such vital import, without considering it
in its bearings on the political fortunes of
some brainless aspi.ant, are not to be trust
