PARTY ORGANIZATION.

Our special dispatch from Charleston
this morning only shows that the pro-
cess of Democratic consolidation which
has been silently going on during q
year past in all portions of the State
has found expression in Charleston in
an open statement of uuity and concord.
For 3 long time past men who were
lsboring Tor the advancement OF the
same political principles have seen how
futile and foolish it is to place person.
al considerations above the great ends
of party. Men die and are forgotten,
but party beliefs live on. This Char
lesion movement is but the formal
unity Of factions that have long since
ceased to have any reason for
existence or to antagonize
each other in the Democratic party OF
the State, because all have learned and
few have dared to cross the gulf
that separates Democracy from modern
Republicsnism.
Upon one hand is the right Of the
people Of the State to enact such laws
as may seem to them best suited to
their condition, subject to the consti-
tuition OF the United States. Upon the
other hand is the irresponsible will Of
Congress debating this or that and as
Stunning to override all constitutional
restraints.
Where there is 80 wide divergence
in political opinion, what folly it is for
sensible men to attach themselves to
the personal fortunes Of individuals
and say that unless such or such q
man is nominated for Office we will 60
over to the other side and labor to
break down all the principles we have
heretofore sought to have put in prac-
tice in the administration OF the govern
ment.
We have many evidences that the
people Of West Virginia have too much
good sense to submit themselves again
to the Radical yoke; they have too
much good sense to permit a Radical
triumph by their division; and there
has been something in the all
during the past elk months or more tha'
convinced us that in the important
elections OF this year the opponents o
Radicalism would stand together
shoulder to shoulder, and win victory
oSer all foes, whether within our OWE
ousehold or openly in the Radica
ranks.

The steamer L,Amertque.

A Herald special from London says
the French steamer Amerique was
brought into Plymouth in safety this
evening. The engineer and mate OF the
steamer Spray who first boarded the
Amerique, report that they found all
the steamer boats gone except the gig.
There was six feet of water IN the
stoker hole; two Of the dead lights
burst on admitting water. The pumps
we're found to be choaked which cir
cumstance probably caused the panic.
The mate thought it possible to save the
steamer az the weather was moderating
aud it was then blowing a half gale.
The Spray sent salvage crew on board
and large warps were attached to the
Amerioue's cable chain, and the Spray
started with the steamer in tow, on the
morning OF the 18th, heading for Bress; ;
the work OF towing was easy all that
day; it was discovered next day that
the propeller Of the Amerique was
gone and on the same day her chain
Slipped aud was lost the Spray then
sighted the steamer F. l.. Bar
ry and arranged for her to
assist in bringing the steamer into
port. They continued to head for Brest
till 4 o clock in the afternoon, when
the wind shifted aud they resolved to
ch spge her course and make for .
British port, and Plymouth was sighted
on Sunday at 2 r.M. No sounding
pumps were to be found on board the
L'Amerique and the dunkey engine
was broken The mate Of the
Spray says The bedding was piled
against the broken head lights until
the danger could be repaired. The
L'Amerique when fret sighted was IN
der two close reeted top sails on her
mizzen mast, and was nauled out on
the slarboard tack. The cargo had
shifted, but when the port side
was brought to the wind the steamer
sighted. There is no list in her al
present as she lies in Plymouth harbor
Lloyd's agent reports that pumping wat
actively continued to-day but no de-
crease OF water is apparent. There
are . feet OF water yet in the alter com
partment aud 81 feet in the engine
loom.

.. Kanawha County.
Special Dispatch to the Register. .
CHARLESTON, March 20.
Two hundred leading Democrats OF
Kanawha county have PUBLISHED in the
Courier an address looking to party or
ganizat:on for the coming campaign.
The list Of signers includes all the in
fuential Democratic supporters Of
Governor Jacob aud Camden in the
county, and represent a complete OBJ
liberation of past differences. The
address sets forth we'll recognized prin~
ciples OF Democratic faith as applica'
BILE 10 national and local affairs, aud
invites general cooperation in giving
them effect. The convention system
of making nominations is declared 10
be the best known method OF ascers
tanning the will OF the party
and i, is asserted 10 be
the duty of alI good Democrats
to see that none but worthy names are
presented for the peoples support. The
differences O! the past are dismissed as
unworthy to be considered by men who
desire the success of a cause more
than the advancement OF Individuals,
and The voters are invited 10 address
themselves to the work Of maintaining
the doctrines and preserving the purity
and integrity OF the Democratic party.
The movement has created decided
sens alton in political circles here,
andlthe heartiness with which it is
welcomed shows that the Democratic
division in Kanawha county ia thing
of the past. and that unity and success
for the future are well assured.

ANEAsrERN OUTLET.

There is no question OF more import
ance to the city Of Wheeling just now
than that OF how they can best expand
the habitable limits of the city. Hem
med in as we are by steep and rocky
hills, we are at loss where to bestow
the population that is crowdirg in upon
us year after year, and we find some
trouble in securing favorable sites for
the manufacturing establishments that
seek to avail themselves OF the cheap
fuel and other facilities which loca-
ton in this neigbborhood affords.
With every succeeding year the hills
surrounding the city are more
and more severely felt to be
an obstacle 10 further growth, and
every year the question as to how the
natural difficulties OF our situation can
best be overcome becomes more i'm
portant.
Almost the only desirable ground for
the expansion OF the city limits; almost
the only earthly Eden to which our
citizens look for refuge from the NOISE
and smoke and dust OF business; Is
found in the beautiful and fertile valley
OF Wheeling creek from which the city
is shut out by the formidable wall OF
hill which stands between US and this
promised land" Accordingly our
citizens have been discussing for years
pss, how to get rid OF this obstacle.
Projects for digging it down and throw
ing Il into the bed OF the creek; FOL
making q roadway through it by tun-
mel; for conducting the creek through
it by tunnel or cut; or for going arounc
it by turnpike or stree. railway; have
all been more or less discussed, bu
without much actual result and with
out as yet accomplishing anything o
practical importance in giving the peo
pie any more convenient access
to the valley which lies directly ess
of the city.
Among the numerous projects tha
have been broached in relation to thl'
matter, is the construction Of turn
pike around the hill and across tn
Peninsulsr, upon which street rsilwa.
cars, drawn by horses or propelled b.
steam, might run between Wheeliui
and Elm Grove. Starting every hal
hour or oitener aud stopping along th'
way wherever passengers might desir
to get on or of, as the street cars upo
the city lines do, it would be com
psratively easy ior business men, la
borers and mechanics to resId
in the country and d
business in town, thus solving, !
part at least, the question that mas
long perplexsd our citizens. Th
Wheeling and Elm Grove railway com
pany has already been chartered b
the Legislature, but we believe that n
active steps have been taken as yet
carry out the purposes Of the organizs
tion. We received last evening from
prominent and much respected citiEe
