Hard on Gideon,

The following petition has been place d
is the Merchants Exchange, in Boston,
for signatures, and has been numerouslv
signed:
To tie President Of the United
States The undersigned, citizens of
Boston and its vicinity, respectfully re-
quest that the present Secretary Of the
Navy, Hoo. Gideon Wellea, be removed
from office. and that his place may be
supplied by some man qualified, by ex-
ecutive capacity and by competent
knowledge Of naval and civil affairs, to
exercise the proper forecast, vigilance
and energy in preventing such disasters
as may te directly traced to the lack Of
those qualities in the present incumbent,
and IN those subordinates for whose fit.
ness he is in the main responsible"
The N. Y. World does not believe
the Nashville has escaped in the manner
described, because the Secretary Of the
Navy has not been removed. The N.
\. ztnass is equally severe. It says
"The fact that, under the circumstances,
this vessel was allowed 10 escape to sea,
is another Of the long series of national
disgraces which We owe, not to our
navy, but to the administration Of our
Navy Department."

RHODE ISLAND ELEcr1oN.-The Re.
publican and abolition parties of Rhode
Island seem to have played out entirely
Tor the present at least. Gov. Sprague
was reelected the other day. together
with the balance Of the Democratic
ticket, without any opposition from the
other side. Somebody said that De-
mocracy is dead. Those who believe
that yarn will wake up one Of those
fine days only to find themselves very
sadly mistaken.

DEMOCRATS, STAND FIRM

Tho assailants Of the Democra'''
party arc those whose only oo)ec. ;"
mi, Government, i. the .poil' and the
horo,. .f Office. While the Democratic
n.rtv show. signs OF coming down and
di.solviog, they rejoice with exceeding
great Joy, even as do the outlaws Of inc
country when the restraint OF the Ia" Is
talon from them-as night providers 90
when the vigilaut police have been re-
moved. Hence we saw them glory'ng
in what they supposed was the ruin Of
the Democratic party; and now we see
them startled at the strong signs OF
speedy recupera,ion and advance to
pristine vigor. 1t is so. The ultra'sts
of,bc other side have for several months
been chuckling over the prospect OF a
clear political field; they have counted
upon no opposition to let them 40 wnas
they might and as they liked; but IT
they don't fnd themselves mlstakes'
then we misjudge matters.
Every day VIC see fresh evidence from
all parts of the loyal States that the old
Democratic phslanx is forming, that the
cmbcrs Of the old guard are falling
into line, and what is more, that recruit
ing is goirg on rapidly, and further still,
that deserters from the opposing party
are coming within our lines constantly
and giving the Democratic party aid
and comfort. There is no denying the
fact. The very nature Of our sacred in
stitutions calls for Democratic party,
and never can they exist or flourish with
out such an organization-strong, firm
and fearless in its operations. Without
it tho country is a wreck. To suppose
otherwise would be presumptious. The
Democratic party must come forth to
defend the Constitution. There is a
powerful enemy in the field which assa'ls
it on every occasion they would tram
pie upon its provisions in order to carry
out their higher law ideas, they would
gladly tear it 10 shreds in order TO con-
form it to their own ideas-nay, they
teach the people that it is Of no conse-
quence whatever in comparison with
tho freedom of the slave; of no value
when the institution of slavery is pro-
tected by it. Thank Heaven there Is a
power in this land to stand up in the
breach and repel the advances Of such
vilIainous doctrines.
There is enough Of the old conserva'
tive democratic leavcn left to hold theil
subversivc designs in check. They
seem to realize that such is the case
and hence it is that the recent efforts T.
organize are secuted at--hence it j
that they brand the movement as bcin
a child of treason. Time will reeves
WuO tuc CIAIOTS arc NO OeWOCIdt IL
could be AUTHORIZATIONS can alone b
found among those who believe in
higher national power than the Consti
tuition. The advocates and proselyte
Of the higher law arc the traitors
whether they be found in the South o
the North. No democrat asks for am
other guide or rule of action than tn
Constitution. Let them rally to its sup
port, and without calculating as to wha
odds there may be in the way, stand W
for it, and if need be die for it. Let no
the sneers or threats of traitors detel
you from your course. Democracy
shonld never, will never desert or ig
more the written law of the nation

RECENT discoveries in the lakes Of
Switzerland prove that that country was
once inhabited by population Of which
we have no record. Excavations in the
shallow parts Of the lakes show the re-

the East Indies now live, with relics Of
