(an animal between The deer aud the squirre)
has five claws on his fore pada, three talons on
bia hind legs, like bird, and yet hops Cd bis
tail. There is bird (me.llphaga) which has
broom in its mouth Instead oil u tongue. The
cod 10 found in the rivers, and the perch In the
sea; the valleys are cold aud the moutaln tops
warm. The nettle is lofty tree, and the pop
lar dwar6sd shrub; the pears are of wood,
with the stalks at The broad enda; the cherry
grows with the stone ouIaide. The fields are
fenced with mabogaOy, the humblest house is
fitted up with cedar, aud myrtle plants are
burned Tor fuel The trees are without fruit,
their flwers are without scent, and the birds
without song. Such Is the land OF Australia!

The Times on Democracy.
From the N. Y. Times, Istb.l

We have never doubted that the
great body of the Democratic party are for pre-
serving the Union, and for crushing the rebsl-
lion, which alec threatens its existence. We
do not doubt that they look upon vigorous
prosecution OF the war as the only means by
which that result can be brought about. And +,
in spite of all the efforts that may be made to
drive or seduce the Democratic party from that
position, We believeit will hold II with fidelity
and frmness, and will insist upon the adoption
of that policy by this Administration, and by
any other that may succeed Ii. \ We
are well aware that the Democratic party does
not indorse very many of the acts of the Ad-
mlnisration. We have no right to aek such
Endorsement at its hands. Upon any of the
details Of administration, upon any of the moss.
ures which the President and C0ngfess may see
fit to adopt, that party has perfect right to it's
own opinions. It may, with Perfect propriety,
protest against the Proclamation of Emancipa-
tion, the policy OF arbitrary arrests, the enlis-
ment Of negro soldiers, aud any other measure
demand lie, that it shall not resist or thwart The
execution of any law, or assume position Of
active hostility to any policy which the Govern
ment may deem necessary to the suppression
of the rebellion. IL has no right to resist the
execution OF the conscription act, nor to defeat
the enforcement of any law of Congress while
ii stands upon the statute book. With the ex
ception of few factious members, who seem
to be acting purely from motives of personal
sel6sbness and ambition, the great macs of tho
Democratic party are perfectly loyal in their
sentiments and position While they oppose the
Administration in many of its measures, az
they have perfect right to do, they assert the
supreme necessity of crushing the rebellion by
force of arms, and preserving the Union at
whatever sacrifice OF party vie9s and opinions
