The American RastilA Burned.

Fort Lafayette was burned, as far
as could be consumed, on Tuesday
night last. The fire lit up the city
ofNew York, and the scene is de-
scribed as grandly beautiful. Had
the whole Fort been blown into the
arr, 10 as not to leave q vestige be-
hind, if in the "deep bosom of the
ocean buried" it would not have
cost a single regret, for its name is
coupled with that of wrong and op-
preston. During the war it was
the Bastile where men, guiltless Of
of crime were sent to languish in q
foul prison at the comand of Stan
ton or at the single of Seward's s
bell,
It's sight remins the American
citizen Of the wrongs committed,
and 'awakens recolloctions that ii
would be we'll for the tair fame Of
the Republic if they could be for
gotten.
Ifrebuilt, it will stand as a mon,
ument of infamy to those who, by
their despotic acts, brought so foul
a stain upon the honor of the coun.
try.-St0teSman.

The Local Democratic Press.

In every county througout the
State, the Democrats should take
immediate steps to increase the cir
culation of their local Democratic
papers. and then to give circulation
to faithful and efficient papers pub
lished elsewhere. This done now,
and it don't so much matter when
the State Convention is held. The
Democratic press of the State will
hold their organization together,
and convince the opposition that
the Democratic party is not dead.
1t is through the press that the Re.
publican party have strengthened
themselves. They did not do much
in the circulation of pamphlet cop
les of speeches in the late compaign.
but they took the precaution ear
iy in the year to extend the circula-
tion of their nespapers. The town.
ship politicians throughout the
State did this, and when fairly in
the campaign they gratutiously
distributed large numbers of news
papers. If the Democracy would
succeed they must attend to this
matter better than they have here
tofore done.-StateSman.

The Negro elected to Congress
from a district in Louisiana is on
hand, and expects to present his
crcdentiels in few days. 1t is
said that he will not get his scat,
because if the Republicans were to
admit him they would thereby rec
ognize the validity of the Louisiana
election. This is very small hole
for them to try to creep out of an
unpleasant predicamont.
