During the long and bitter contest waged
by the Democracyeif the North against the
dtictrine of the Wilmot Provide, the strong
point which they constantly ptessednpon the,
attenttoe of the people was that ihrliehobilinte

When the Democracy of the South appealed
to - their brethren of the - -North to resist the
tipplicaticur of the Wilmot Proviso to the Na
tional - Territories, they only asked that Con.
as should not prohibit the establishment of
slavery its them, and :that the people of 'the
Territories' shituld,L be allowed to introduce
arldpreteet slavery if they saw proper to do so;
they, made , , no demand that slavery should
be forced into the Territories, or that it should
be retained there in defiance of the popular
will until State Constitutions could be formed.
.Now, hoiever thOse who assume an ultra
position :on, this queetion, maintain that
slavery is established by law he all the Tent
toritnfof the, Republic, under the Dred Scott
-decisicri that _Kansas, Nebraska, Washing

'consecrated to slavery as South Carolina or
Georgia e and that the present or fature intim
, hit:ants of, these Territories can neithel di.
' reedy-or, indirectly do anything, legally, pre
judicial to the continuance of slavery in their
midst; before`, they form State Constitutions.
This ii, : iractically, a' complete reversal of
the old Wilmot Proviso doctrine. It prohi
biteiktlie -extension of slavery to any of the
!Territories of the Republic, but it could not
prevent the inhabitants of a Territory, when
.they turned is State Conetitution, or after ad
mission into the UniOn under It was _accom

-to do so. Now we arii told that alavery is legally

utterly beyond the reach - of the 'people,
,until
-they form their State _Constitutions. . But no
Inch Understanding prevailed when the danger

imminent, or when the restrictive act of the
Missouri Comprothise was repealed. At those

supposed that mere friedom to act at the

was, at ousue, ~ the ' people of the Terri
teries 'might as well have bad that freedom
Under the Wilmot Proviso, and the Nis
mend Compromise, as under the present
Administration version of Territorial liberty.
In 'short, the allegation is net 'compulsory
slavery-extension his been substituted for
compulsory slavery prohibition; that the lib
erty of the people or the Territories, for which
there was a great outcry raised by the Demo-
Pratte party ether .years since, is no liberty, at ,
- all; that the power to is form and regulate
their institution," which was solemnly con
'famed upon 'frtom, carries with it no right to
resort to unfriendly legislation against slave
ry.; that while Territorial Legislatures may
mike snob laws, as , they please in regard to,
all other- kinds of property, slave property is
utterly: beyond, their power and control.
'Under this riding, the central despotism is
as powerfai as tinder the operation of the
Wilmot Proviso—toe intervention of the Fede
ral GOvernment is as conelterive—the only
difference being 'that in the one case the ,
people of, the Territories:, are compelled by a
distant; and, to them, foreign power, to sane
, Con slavery, and 'in the other prevented from
,establishing it. Both these doctrines are ut
' teely eutiversive of all correct ideas of repute
ler SoVereignty,- for, they dopy to the people
Of the Territories all power at the only period
when power le velnable'or important to them
as- citizens :of Territories. The _ idea that'
"Popular S overeignty" can properly be used
to designate the doctrine which assumes that

the :height 'of absurdity, for ,the very good
season-that it denies the.exeraisti of. the pre
rogatives Of soverelgety; - iirfong as it is pee

Which,eaW silorm and regulate their institu

reignty; and : he who declares that this right
should be'withheld from the people of a Ter
ritory, aims to deprive thorn of all the:bene
fits and privileges -which that doctrine, pro
perly applied, proposed te confer upon theta.
The true position of the Democratic party
is, that important new powers were conferred
upon the people of the Territories by the le
giOatiom of t 1350 and 1864,; that their politi
cal privileges were exteiided—notthat despotic
pro; levery intervention wan to be substituted
for despotic antislavery intervention. It ,did
not battle , for a mere change of masters over
the Territories—to rescue them from anti
slavery agitators merely for the purpose of
consigning them to pro•slavery propagandists
aimed at the enlarged liberty of the people
of the Territories, and not at taking off one
yoke to fasten on their necks another.
The New States and the Territorial
Question.
The Democratic party, has, nearly always
found in the new States of the Republic its
'staunchest supporters. IM ancient faith so
'strongly. commended It to the hardy settlers
of the frontier's, that no devices of the
_Oppo
sition could seduce them from Its ranks, and
they. were ss certain to cast a majority of their
Zeffrages for the chesen'nominees'of the Do,
nacre.° party.ii State and National contests,
as Berks county herself before she broke out
is indignation against the treacheries of JAMES
Emus:tin and the Shallow pretensions aide
chosen' favorite, the famous JONM. When
the , Democretic banner, amid a whirl
wind , of popular excitemeet, was stricken
to the„ earth in many of the old States,
,
it , was, ',atilt firmly horne 'upright in the
new ones. - In the great political contest of
1844, Mr. Pots carried every new State, and
altheugh. Mr. Case received 106 out of 275
electoral votes, alt of the States which voted
fer the latter itini.tormed part of, or had been
adMitted into, the Union, previous to the'
year 1800; except 'Ohlo;-whioh was admitted
in 1802: ,'Wh'en the Demoaratic representation
in the-Senate of the United States grew com
paratively weak, or formed but a minority,
new States were, looked to to strengthen it,
and the expectations' thus founded were al-
Moat' always realized. it is not strange, if
Mere partisan considerations are taken into
the Federal party strenuously op
posed ,Secemilons of new territory, for such
regions were certain to be represented in the
National Legislature by devoted adherents
011ie Democratic party, and while old States
were otcasionaily won over to the support of
the Deiposition„their influence, at least in the
Senate, wee neutralized as soon as a new star
Could be added to our republican galaxy.
But elece the Territorial question has as
sumed* ,overshadowing importance, the po-
Jidda! ponition of the new States has become
dont:dint , If the Democratic party fully
4 1 4 nneqtdiocally adopis the doctrine of
. opriltir Sovereignty; andln good faith ens
,tisrie it eirt carry every ono of them. If it
that doctrine, and assumes the pe-
Idtionthat slavery can be thrust into all the
,Territeelesi 3 Of, Itipnbile, and, maintained
'therein in defiance, of the will of the inhabi
tants it'wlirsoon be overwhelmed in all the
`new epersla,vehelding States. This is a qua.
,tiati,npan:which they are peculiarly sensitive;
for, having :bat recently emerged from the
`Tertitorialcondition themselves, they have a
'better ppictleal comprehension of all that re
-bites to 14 and a clearer insight into the injus
tice,'ot the despotic theory levelled against the
'pioneers of tiliwTerrliories by - the nitralata of
tint - day; than the citizens of old States, who
ithow `nothing, praofloaliy, of Territorial
IBut for the just position taken by ;nage
floittaii lon' the Lecompton question,' the
irjaola tvould , inevitably , hive been

Censitai Michigan, Indiana, • and 'Minnesota,
044, ars askant iis!mocaratio !n' their
stincts, will inevitably become thoroughly Re
publioanized if Popular Sovereignty, in a
clear, bold sense, is not made the very shib
boleth of the Derdocratie , creed. In Califor
nia, the Democrat° party is hopelessly divi
ded on,this question, th& incorruptible Demo
erticy-iti-the State standing fait to,its ancient
principles,: and , the officials . of the National
Administration ,deserting them to do homage
to' heir betrayer. !n .Oregon, the power of
LANE is waning, and it is evident that her po
littera future will evince' a firm devotion to
Popular Sovereignty, and to the men who in
good faith sustain it.
In Kansas, the Constitutional Convention
now in session contains a large majority of
Opposition metebers—a thing almost unprece
dented in the . history of the country. Nearly
all the Democratic members are of the Don-
GLA.Er school, and a Ihrge proportion of the
Republicans in the Convention were Demo
crats previous tp their removal into Kansas,
and would be Democrats to-day if ."fair
play" bad been enjoyed by the people of that
distracted Territory. After a- long battle on
the soil of the Territory; not, one of a hun
dred of her citizens would sustain the ultra
slave code theory, and if it is to become
the settled 'creed of the Democratic party, she
will be as bitterly Republicanized as Vermont.
If it is rebuked and demolished, there is a fair
prospect that Kansas will become a Democratic
State. .

A Letter from Wyoming Valley.
InorreeFendence of The Prose.]
Perhaps some of the many readers of The
Press may be a little interested, in reading a short
letter hem Bloomingdale. If you think they 41,
let this be put in one of its columns. This valley
Is one of the' finest and. richest farming ills triota
In Luserne county, and will compare favorably
with the 'celebrated valleys; of Western Pennsyl
vania. Its handsome' cottages, surrounded wit's'
a grove of fruit trees, now bending with their
load ; its beautifully situated farms, now pro
mising .to their industrious owners a greater re
ward for their labor than during the few years last
past ;.its thriving villages ; Ito exoellent aohools,
and especially the New Oolumbas Aeademy—all
. tall, to every traveller, that the inhabitants of
Bloomingdale are a rioti,intelligent, and happy
people. Ministers of many denominations are
well supported, and listened to by interesting
crowds; physicians rents° a scanty subsistence
by being kind to the aged and the mothers; but
lawyers smutty know dam% a valley as the one
mentioned. The Bible, which all have, and The
Press, which many have, and lead to their neigh
'bore, are the fountains of much conversation in
all the neighborhoods of, this valley. During the
very hot days of this week, we thought of those
who lived in crowded cities, and less populous but
more disagreeable towns, and wondered why they
did'ot come out bare and breathe the pure, fresh ,
air, (lf it was hot s ) and 'spend the cooler days In
hooking the tinny tribes that swim by the thou

Letter from " Ocoeetotml. ,l
CorreapotadfuoB norrrol!3
WASHINGTON, 1017 20,1859
The close of the conflict in Italy and the remo
val from the field of newspaper and popular dis
mission of the war, and all its present and possible
complications, have only sharpened the appetite
of the world for a new excitement. What shall It
be? My own opinion is, that for this country the
Presidential question may be regarded as on the
eve of a formal opening. This is food enough, in
all conscience, for the publiojeurnals and their my
riade of intelligent readers. A glance at the field
will show a somewhat novel condition of politics.
The recent demonstration of the Amerioans against
the new doctrine of General Case in referenoe to
the protection of naturalized oitizens, (without
stopping to inquire whether the original motive in
opposing this doctrine was sincere,) has, unques
tionably, done much to liberalize the members of
that organization in regard to that large elate of
citizens which they have boredom violently an
tagonized. I believe there has been no exception
to the rule, but that Mr. Zolllosffer in Tennessee,
Mr. Botts in Virginia. and the New York Express
in New York, including Mr. Banks of Maseaebn
setts, and many others lately so prominent in the
American order, haveall spoken the same opinions
in the name of that order. The Administration
I may, therefore, congratulate itself, that while it has
done much to alienate the confidence of the adopted
citizens in regard to its own policy, it has furnished
a chance for an act of wise repentance to those
who have heretofore opposed these citizens. There
is no predicting what results will flow from this de
velopment. The Democratic party (by which term
I do not mean, in any sense, the Administration
organization) occupies on this question a very for
ward proition, and although General Case and the
Administration have done thrush to induce it to
make a disgraceful retreat, it is a fast marking
signally the consistently of that party in its devo.
tlon to adopted citizens, that it has everywhere
repeated this devotion *meet the enunciation of the
new theory of the Administration—and has done
this at the risk of encountering the bitterest hold
lity of Mr. Buchanan and his Cabinet. The follow•
tag resolution, adopted by four Democratic Na
tional Conventions, and reiterated at Cincinnati
In Juno of 1858, proolaime to-day, as it Woo/Lame/
nearly twenty years ago, the exact attitude of tht
Democracy. If you will resat: carefully von will
see what a rebuke it le to the late attempt to cut
down and to destroy the rights of the adopted ern
tens :
• ltesattof, That the liberal prinoiples embo.
died by Jefferson in the Declaration of Inde
pendents°, and sanctioned in the Conatitutioa,
which make ours the land of liberty, and tie
asylum of the eppreved of every nation, hare
ever been cardinal principles in the Dernnoratio
faith ; and every attempt to abridge the privilege
of becoming citizens and the owners of soil among
us, ought to be resisted with the same spirit whilst
swept the alien and sedition laws from our statute ,
books."
Thus, in the course of events, have the Ame
rican party moved up in sympathy with the
Democratic, party on one groat and enduring prin.
olple. But while the Demoorats- have, on this
last issue, opened between themselves and the
Administration of their choice a deep and an im
passable gad (which work had been pretty eine-
Wally accomplished in the disgust growing out of
the events in Kansas), the Northern Democracy,
impelled by the instlnot of seltpreservation, had
been compelled to deny and to ignore the course
of the Administration in regard to Kansas; and
now nothing Is mere palpable and conclusive than
that the Vemooratio misses of the Northern
States are as bitterly hostile to the Administration
on the Territorial question, as they are in re
fermatas to the rights of the adopted citizens.
That Mr. Buchanan will possess vast power to
avenge all opposition, however honest, to hie po-
Roy, and that he intends to wield this power for
vengeance, are unmistakable indications of the
times. Thee element is the peril impending
over our success in 1860. It is the poison at the
heart of our organization. There aro ways of
avoiding it, and the next few months will show
whether the remedy will be acoeptod by those
who have it plainly presented to them.
And what of the Republican organization? Two
lions are frowning in its pathway—first, that which
demands an emphatic, practical, and harmonious
- dootrine in regard to slavery; and aeoond, that
which demands .an available candidate for the
Presidency. If the Republican platform of MC is
laid down next year, It must be a sectional party,
and without the advantages that surrounded it
three years ago. Tens of thousands of men adhere
loosely to the Repnblioan party. Democrats who
reluctantly and temporarily left their organisation
are waiting and watching for now developments to
decide their future political status. This largo and
influential class will not be content with a plat
form of platitudes or a negative nomination, nor
will the shrewd leaders of the Republican party
bankrupt themselves upon a programme intended
to secure a mere triumph for office, which must bs
neither mere nor lota than a repetition of the con
filets for patronage of 1840 and 1818., The candi
dates thrown upon the statute in the Republican

and are
now really as unpopplar in their present organs...-
Con as ever they wore in cure,) Intend to put ('cam
selves in the lead if they can ; and if they do, they
mnet load down the Republicans preoleely as they
loaded down the Democrats, and with the same se
quel. Thus the historian will write of them anew, I
precisely what he has recorded of their connection
with another organisation.
Aloof from till these interests, and yet calmly
sympathising with the great masa of the people on
the leading principles of the protection of natu
ralized citizens, and the sovereignty of the Mande
of the Territories, (within the Constitution of the
United States,) are the States•Et4hts Democracy,
whose individual represektative in ibis eonntry is
Stephen A. Douglas, of Illinois. The time has
come when these men are being appreciated at
their proper value. Maligned and misrepresented
as they have been, they can refer to a record finch
as no organization has ever yet presented to the
American people. They began the straggle with
the Administration when it was flashed with vio
tory and filled with power. Derided as a minority
in Congress, they seized upon a great principle,
' and, with this for their panoply and Bitted, they
broke down a recreant Administration, and com
pelled etherorganizations to accept their doctrines.
Every blow aimed at them only made them more
steady in the fight. Persecuted, they persoyered ;
bunted like wild beasts, they neither fled nor fat ,
Wed, but held the pass against their myriads of
foes, and, while charged with deserting the.
Demooratio party preserved the evret organize-
Mien that contained its principles, and held thou
sands of men who must otherwise have wholly left
the party.
There is not s county in the North, there is
not an independent man in the South, that dm
not stand ready to furnish aid and comfort to this
noble organization of men. A remarkable Bina
'
levity exists between the States-Rights Democracy,
chatop'oned and led by Douglas, and that brave
and resolute minority, led by Bright, Cobden,
Milner Gibson, Villiers, and others in Great Britain
There latter, after long years of struggle against
the Tories anti the Whigs, have at last been com
pensated and vindicated in the construction of the
new Palmerston Ministry, and have won by their
courage, that which, if they had not been true,
they would unquestionably have lost. Ridionled
because their numbers were few, they worked and
waited, and the hour of their triumph has been
the hour of enormous ooncessione to the popular
rule In the United Kingdom. In my belief,
think we are on the eve of repeating this interest
ing drama in this country, and I will not be sur
prised if, by an net of magnanimity and wisdom,
the Democratic Convention at Charleston should
place Stephen A- Douglas before the American
people as a candidate next year. His name will
be found the 4We/ea of a great national organi
zation, and the salvation of the Democratic' party,
upon old.fashioned Democratic principles.
Old Hickory in his inaugural said that one of
the first and most important duties of the Execu
tive was that of repressing the influence of Fede
ral patronage and Federal officers in popular eleo
tions, then a cardinal principle of the Demo
cracy.
• Francis: J. Grand arrived here yesterday. He
brings accounts from the seat of war, and spanks
of several naturalized American citizens who, being
caught in their dominions, were forced by the Euro
pean Powers to perform military duties. It Is un
derstood that he is to be compensated for the foss
of his office of secret agent, under the secret ger.

tration. He will insist upon recognition. He
knows that, although be was appointed with the
satiation of Mr. Buchanan, as a clandestine amis.
vary, yet when the American press broke out against
his appointment, and denounced the Administration
for it the President, trembling before the awakened
wrath of pnblio opinion, said : " I didn't do it;
it was done by Slidell and Cass; I never liked
Grand, bat those. men put him upon zee ; and
assented, beoause it would get him out of the
country; and I am sorry Austria did not catch
him and keep him as as:Didier at ten cents a day,"
under the doctrine of General Cass The great
est calamity that could happen to you, who rally
under the flag of popular sovereignty, would be
the accession of Grand to your column: Those of
us In Washington who are attached to judge Dou

allow Grand to approach him as he did in Chi
'cage, and be again cheated by him. Mr. Bnolia
nan is happily absent at Bedford, where, of
course, Grand will go to-morrow, or else the mem
'bars of the Cabinet will take some public Casa
elon to expel bim from their presence. They
Would in this follow the example of Colonel Ben
ton, who, when, Grand called upon Lim, after
having assailed him in the Baltimore Sun and the
Philadelphia Ledger, said, in reply to Grand's
question: "Are you the X.' of the Sun, and
Observer' of the Ledger?" "Yes, sir,' said
Grand, bowing obsequiously low. " Then, air,"
said the indomitable Missourian, 't never speak to

his enemies. Mr. Keno/its ; a ilfeadeillo (p a l

earnestly strove to defeat Mr. Buchanan. lam
hot astonished that his elevation to the post he
now occupies should have exalted the contempt
and scorn of the Democracy of this district; but
I am happy to assure you that Mr. Kennedy is ex

placed the Administration upon a regular Know-

It is said that Robert McLane, minister to Mex

Mexico, containing several important provisions for
right of way and transit across Tehuantepec. and

Proteotorate over Mexico by the United States.
It is reported, also, that the terms of this proposed

The notion of your judicial authorities, sustain
ing the Mayor of Philadelphia in his notion against
Sunday railroad travelling, excites considerable
attention here. I doubt whether the public mo
rale of-Philadelphia are mush higher than the mo
rals of New York, and it may also be doubted
whether the notion of your Mayor will lead to any
diminution of crime, promote public order, or'
prove the precursor to a revival of religion. Quite
certain is it that any order of the municipal
authorities of New York, prohibiting the run
nieg of care on the city railways on Sunday,
would produce rebellion and riot instanter. Here
they are an aboolate neceasity. Indeed, there Is a
provielon in the charters granted to somata' the
railroads which compels them to run their cars on
Sunday. Very straight-laced people fill the oars
on Sunday in going to church. Clergymen of
down-town churches, who reside among the " opper
ton," above Union Square, find them a neoeasity.
Indeed, Sunday is one of the most profitable car
days—thousands of hard-working people, who
labor industriously through the week, embrace
the Olean facilities they afford for breathing the
fresh air of Central Park, Jones' Woods, or other
Suburban resorts. But perhaps your laboring men
don't care for any five-cent excursions, and don't
think fresh air and change of scene, now and then,
of any account.

VALLEOIO, July 6,
Tho day before yesterday, the son of General
Urban came as par/smog:afro to the headquarters
of the 'French army here, bringing with him an
autograph letter from the Emperor of Austria to
the Emperor of the Prenota. He was allowed to
pass through without any bandaging of the eyes,
or other measures of preoaution whioh wore for
merly used op snob ma:mines He fourd the Emne
ror in tho garden, and delivered his missive You
may imagine the field whieh thie missive has opened
to conjecture. Some say it is a letter of thanks
for the manner in which the Austrian wounded
have been treated ; others think it has reference
to the ere/tango of prisoners; others are of opi
nion that it is a demand for an armistiee ; while
some go so far aa to dream of peace This step, it
cannot be denied, has sunetbing rather strange in
it, if, as it was reported, the Emperor of Austria
has returned, or is to return, to Vienna; other
wise, it must be recollected that both Emperors
are likewise the commanders in abler of their re
speotive armies, and elan, therefore, have commu
nication as snob without there being any grounds
for attributing greater importance to this step

porrespondence ofthe London Times.)
Vistin, July 8.
In well-informed political circles it is raid that
the British Government brought about the tempo
rary ceseation of hostilities, by persuading the
Emperor of the French to make propositions to
the Austrian Government, which, if accepted,
might serve as a basis of peace, It appears that
there is a question of making Lombardy and Ve
nice an independent kingdom under an Austrian
archduke, but two of the parties concerned MO sure
to object to such an arrangement. Victor Em
manuel evidently considers Lombardy an integral
part of his kingdom, and the Emperor of Aus
tria isnot the man voluntarily to cede two of the
finest and riehest provinces in the empire either to

My nrivate opinion in rOsp.nt to the resent doings
at Verona Is, that the Emperor of the French
wishes to coma to an understanding with his
brother monarch without the interference of the
neutral Powers, Austria is in a humor to conclude
peace with France, beenuee she is disgusted with
the ‘• short-sighted and aelfuth" policy of England,
end it would not surprise me to learn from Verona
that the two Emperors bad met and settled be
tween them tho preliminaries of peace. Before
France and Austria come to an understanding, the
latter will not fail to make conditions in favor of
her South-German friends, but she will hardly
think herself hound to do as mush for Prussia.
Austria is an exceedingly revengeful Power. and
consequently not likely to forget that the British
and Prussian Governments might, had they been
Inotined to do so, have f recanted the outbreak of
the war
THE PEELING IN SARDINIA
t. Turin letter, of Judy Bth, expresses great fur
prise, not unmingied with apprehension, at the
sudden suspension of arms, which it describes es a
coup de aware. The Sardinian Government has
not the least idea that any such arrangement was
in contemplation. The correltpondont, however,
feels sallefietion in stating that England, which,
under Lord Derby's Government, was not very
favorably disposed toward Piedmont, has lately
shown a muols bettor feeling. Ile observes very
truly that when the reconstitution of Italy oomes
to be settled, England moot necessarily desire to
see Piedtnont as strong and independent as possi
ble; "by supporting us in a Congress, England
would regain in Italy some of the influence widish
Anises lately lost."

Tram, July 8,1889.
The annoencomentgl the armistice has given
great pleasure to no, as we expect that it will be
followed by a lasting peace, The conquest of
Venetia would have given to France very much
trouble, and orcaslonod the Emperor Napoleon
great embarrassment. The Vtedmontese how•
ever, are far from satisfied. Their ambition is
on a par with their nullity, and they covet Vene•
tie as well as Lombar iy; but the Venetians will find
thembeives much happier if governed by the Arch
duke Maximilian, with a national administration.
Before the Lombards are united three months with
the Pled montete they will regret the change. The
Governor of Lombardy appointed by Victor Em
manuel has already made himself very unpopular
by issuing notes of the Bank of Turin, and de•
Oaring them a legal lender. Paper money has
always boon disliked by the Lombardo, and the
Austrian Government never ventured on putting
it into olroulation. There Is now less excuse than
ever for imposing it, as gold was never so abun
dant in Italy as at the present moment, in conse
quence of the large quantity imparted by the
French for the use of tee troops, and whioh freely

BELGIAN VIEW OF TEE OASE.
- - - - -
The following extract from a oorreepondence of
the Independanee Beige is interesting:
In high official spheres a pastille sclu.lon is very
generally believed in, if the Emperor of Austria
will, in a spirit of conoiliation, second Napoleon
111 in his endeavors to reconcile the phrase in his
manifesto " free to the Adriatic," with the position
Yet maintained by the Austrian army in the Lom
bardo-Venetian territory. and with the treaty
rights of the house of llapsburg in that part of
Italy, People belonging to the entourage of the
Emperor apd Emprese say in private conversation
that Napoleon 111 desires to give to Europe a new
proof of hie moderation. They add that the
Emperor, amidst all the excitement of the great
task which he has undertaken, deeply feels the
cruel losses which are involved in war carried
en with all the appliances of modern science, and
that after Magenta and Solferine the eight of so
many brave men laid low for his cause produced
a great effect upon that concentrated mind, which
Is so calm on the surface and apparently so cold.
They have reason to believe that the relations of
the Emperor with his ally have not always been
untuingled with disappointment, and that he is an
noyed by the attitude accrete groups of parties in
Italy. Judging from the solicitude which the Em
peror has always displayed for the bead of the
Church, they infer that he must regret the
complications of the present situation of Rome
Under the influence of these various impressions,
and considerieg that after hitarapid and brilliant
success, the result of the struggle, if it were to be
prolonged, could only be a question of time and
the saorifice of a certain number of lives, the EMre..
ror thinks ho may now propose a trues, with the
object of seeing whether the Italian question may
not be more humanely solved by discussion than
by the sword. The Pattie was mistaken when it
artrmed that the Emperor of Austria proposed the
suspension of hostilities. The initiative was taken
by Napoleon 111., who sent the first overtures by
Gen. d'Urban's eon, after a conversation which he
had with this young °Oiler on the subject of an
ezobenge of prisoners

" The unfortunate result of the conflict at Sol

indeed, it has attained a height which cannot be
contemplated without anxiety, if not alarm, eo
exasperated have all classes of the soldiery be
opme, both officers and men, at the repeated dis
asters they have sustained, and the ignorance, in
capacity, and (as some declare) actual cowardice
which canoed them. It is a great mistake 16
suppose the Austrians even Here are either
cowed or dispirited ; on the contrary, the feeling
of exasperation and determined resolution
we witnessed has, if possible, increased ; but it
is now j :toed to a sullenness of demeanor and
openly-expressed contempt for their leaders,
the depth of which those only therm:Ably ac

ominous antiolpatiens it is likely to create. In

to give recruits or to pay their taxers, but it is not

Terrific Boiler Explosion at Worcester.
[From the Worcester Spy, July 23.]
One of the most terrifio eiplosions that ever
occurred in this vicinity took place in this pity
yesterday afternoon, at the wire factory of Messrs.
T. Washburn qb Oo ,on Grove street. The large
steam boiler, thirty feet lorg and four feet in di•
meter, and weighing about five tons, attached to
their powerful engine, exploded with tremendous
force. shattering the engine house (which is of
brick) Into atoms, demolishing a portion of the
walls of the main building adjAcent, and injuring
several workmen, one severely, but it is hoped not
fatally.
Se immense was the throe of the explosion that
the ponderous boiler, leaving the fire• box and the
crown-sheet behind, shot through the engthe.house
walls into the air, to an altitude of two hundred
feat at the highest, as estimated by many observers,
and readied the ground, striking with the top
downward, in the garden of Mr. J. M. 0 Armsby,
on Lincoln street, over a quarter of a mile distant
and driving itself into the earth to the depth of
four feet; but it rebounded from the garden, and
breaking off a portion of the top or rim, which it
loft buried there, finally spent its force in landing
itself on the furthest side of Lincoln street, where
it lay extending diagonally across It tore away
Mr. Armaby's ranee for a width of fifteen feet, and
injured the fence of Mr. J. H. Gerauld. One of
the fines of the boiler, being disengaged after the
bursting off of the top or rim, shot out, and. pre
cipitated itself alongside of the boiler in the
street.
The explosion produced a dull, heavy sound, and
was not very extensively heard. As the report of
the oneorrecce spread, the consternation and ex
oitement thereby produced was very great. It is
a long time since there has been anything like it
in Worcester. The gas explosion last winter pro
duced an excitement like this in some respects
There were over ono hundred men nt work in the
faotory at the time,..and a number of persons were
at work upon the grounds outside. It seems al.
most n.iraculous that ail esoaped with their lives,
arid that so few were injured. When the boiler re
bounded across Lincoln street, two men wore riding
by in a carriage, and very narrowly wearied death.
'the following persons were injured : John Morris
say, a middle-aged man,was at work outside.wheel.
inggravel,and was struck by the steam pips. Ile had
two ribs broken, aril wee irjured internally seri
ously, if not fatally. Henry C. Wilson, the engi
neer, was badly bruised by the tieing bricks, and
considerably injured, but not seriously. Mr. Wil
son was not regularly at work, having been ill
several days. Ile happened to some out yesterday.
after dinner. The engine was in the care of
another person. Daniel Guilford was slightly in
jiired by the flying briars. William Prouty was
i bruised, but not badly. 110 was about to enter
the engine room, and was providentially delayed
by some circumstance. Patrick Humforth was
injured badly caress the book, but not seriously.
Within a hundred feet of the piece where the
boiler struck the garden is the residence of Wit-
Ham A. Wheeler, Big , that of Mr. Armehy being
not more then twenty feet distant Had that pon
derous mess of iron struck either of those elegant
mansions, (and it might have fallen upon the roof
of either,) the structure would have boon sloshed
in a moment, and there could have neon nothing
but instant death for the inmates. The weight of
the mass could not have been less than three and
a half tons, and it had gone flying over the tone
of buildings to the place where it fell.
The 041190 of the catastrophe is explained by the
proprietors of the establishment in this way:
While some of the men were at work hoisting up
wire, the rope became entangled around the shaft
ing, rendering a stoppage of the engine necessary,
with a closing of the safety-valve. The come
quonae was an increased pressure of the steam,
which caused the explosion. This was the state of
the ease as they understood it Perhaps some
other explanation may be found on farther in
quiry. The boiler was strong, end had all the mo
dern improvements. It was made by Thurston,
Gardner, Ja Co , Providence, R. I , and cost about
$1 000 It had been in use some five years, and
the proprietors were about to exottange it for a
new one. The engine had been stopped only some
four or five minutes when the explosion occurred.
The damage to the building, which is owned by
lion Stephen Salisbury, is not far from five thou
sand dollars. The damage to the unglue mutt be
oonttderable.
