and until wise counsels prevail, no other result

in a recent article; well defines the difficulties
under Which the Dethobracy of the Northern
States have labored, as follows :

illimitable' extension of Southern institutions—
it is not enough thatthey should fetter the arm

more besides, the- Northern - Democracy have
yielded; hut their Southern associates are not
yet content. , - They must agree to employ the
power of the Government for the propagation of

In this complaint, we have no hesitation in affirm
ing that their prevalence, among the Northern
Demeoracy explains the rennet' the recent else

In view of facts like these, the - question
naturally arises in the Minds of Northern
Democrats, why ahonld Southern polltitilans
persist in movements Which, if acquiesced in,
are manifestly calculated to forever destroy
Democratic ascendency in every hue State.
The readiest answer to this is, tbat thi s is the
preclie end at Which o than extremists are
now aiming, with a view of either destroying
the union altogether, or ruling itby terrorism.
As an evidence of this; we append an extract
from a late number of the Charleston Mercury,
one of- their most faithful organs, and one of
the steadiest champions of the Administration
of Mr. iIIJOIIANAN. The Mersin says
"If the vie*" We have jithrentea of the elate of

come the Sottth to prepare herself to meet the
evils of her condition? The .Deinoeratic party
exists only in the South. It is no longer a

Why shOuld it not twit. as back on the North,

we have no organization for our defence? ' De

With the rights and safety of the South, itmust be
by a 'demonstration of' power on the part of the
South, which wilt satisfy our Northern aggressors
that we , have the ability and the will to be inde
pendent of them. Force them. to calculate the value
of the Union. Let union or disunion bo no ques
tion in the South, bat the one prevailing question
in the free States, from Maine to California We
choose affiliate': rather than sectional despotism.
Which is your choice, mon of the North? Give
us the guarantees we dentand for our rights and

-such en alternative is fairly and distinctly placed
before the people of the North, It-anything can

an important step to this great issue. The South

Letter *Om Occasional"
Commalento of The Prowl
WASHINGTON, April 10, 1859
The last week has been one of the most exciting
within my recollection, the Stables trial being the.
cause of it. :Every day seems to increase the pub•
lie feeling, espeoially since it is apparent that an
earnest opposition is to be mftde by the prosecution
and the friends of, Mr. Key . The promotion
having /slotted their testimony, the „decorate mill
begin to show their hand to-morrow, (Monday). A
number of important witnesses have been sum•
monad in behalf of Mr. Sickles. Whether the
court will allow all of them to testify remains to
be seen; bat it is more than evident that the
counts! of Mr. Sickles will try to present snob it
Justifioation of the deed as will excite anew the
public mind on this unfortunate affair. The speech
of Mr. Grahain is regarded here as a production
of great power. Be is the person, you will recol
lest, who 'noted in the celebrated sitit'aiainst Ben
nett, of the New York Herald, some time ago,
and had the effect of bringing that newspaper
brigand to his knee.. The repOrts of the trial are
so amply forwarded by the Assoolated Preserto
your Jonrnal,that there is no neeetsity in my
making extended comments upot this oasis.
There has indeed been a considerable of a flare
up in the Union. Messrs. Johnson and liugheq
4helate editors] have both retired, and General
Bowman taker( charge, with, it is supposed, Mr.
Buchanan as his chief assistant in the editorial
department. That eccentric genius, George N.
Sanders, who regulates nearly all the world and
the rest of mankind," attemlited to effect a com•
bination by which certain antagonistic interests
here were to bo reconciled, on the bashed an equal
representation in the profits and principles of the
'Washington Mien, but his scheme, like many
Another of his pref ads, fell, through ; though I am
told that he has net given up all hope of still being
able to accomplish it.
Mr. Buchanan has written a very humiliating
letter to,Bennett, apologizing to him for the attack
upon the Herald and its editor, which appeared
In the Union prior to, the change of tiroptlefoi;.
Chip. This aiteohnti pretty satisfactorily for the
silence of the iierald in regard to the assault _of
the Union.
There his just been published from Governor
Wise a obaraoteristio letter to Hon. David Hub
bard, of Alabama, an extract of whioh I send you.
Mr. Wier, says :
"The President bide high. To filibusters he
offers Cuba and Isthmus and North Mesteo—to
the West, Paoifio Itiiiroad'.to the North, protec
tion to iron' eta Coarse Itoolleils-z-and to the great
Bommeroial chuntries, the pOWer of centralization
by obviout time and abuses of a bankrupt act to
apply to State banks. Yosterdly, Paddle was a
monster, and ,to-day a few, Viralbstreot bankers
can ekpand and Contract tipon us mere like a vise
than he did—and what would they hot do if they
could fume the poor provinces when they please
into bankruptcy? I have written this right on;
and you may do what you please with it."
This is rank treason. OCCAECIONAL.

A GREAT INVENTION row Efousmgcsrgas.—
At the request of tie inventor, Mr James Spear,
No. 1118 Market street, we recently examined, in
practical operat ion, a new " ironing pan," ma de to
he applied to his celebrated gas•burnieg cooking
ranges and stoves, or, in fact, to any other range
or stove now in use, which, though simple in its
construction, is one of tho most effective and in
gaol ins of the many valuable inventions that the
genius of Mr. Spear has yet given to the public
This " Pan" is so constructed that in its use the
following important advantages will be seen at a
glance : The " Pan" being of rattail less body
than the ordlnaty stove plates, upon which irons
are heated for ironing, the latter become baited
in less than half the time required when placed
upon the ordinary plates, and by the application
of an important scientific principle, the heating
process increases, or diminishes, in exsot propor
tion to the number of flats to be used. What ren
ders it more desirable, is the fact that but a small
proportion of heat is required to beat a sufficient
number of fiats, to keen as many 'rimers employed
as the "Pan "will contain irons, thereby not only
saving. certainly Ita/f the fuel required to do the
same Harriet, without the "Pan,"but withal, ob
viating the necessity of Cuing the range, or stove,
to an intense temperature, which is itself, during
the summer months, a most important considera
tion.
Believing this invention of Mr. Spear to be a
matter of praoticat importance to every house
keeper, we took some little pains to see its merits
demonstrated, and in doing which, were not only
saddled that it deserved all that was claimed for
it, but received the most unqualified endorsement
of its real value from those who had—and we may
add, were then trying it. As already intimated,
those it Pans" may be applied to any stove or
range now in use, at a very trifling expense—cer
tainly not more than the amount of fast they will
save in a single month's use, and when their ad
vantages become known, we are quite sure that ao
intelligent economical housekeeper will be without
them. We must say, to eonolui.ion, that this last
invention, of Mr Speer—samples of which can
now be aeon ut his store—combined with his cele
brated Gas burning Cooking Range, is a most com
plete affair, and will take rank with the foremost
of his numerbus patents.
