~ DEMOCRATS, BEWARE!
There is a dark plot laid for the destruction of
the Democratic paity. The enemies ol the
Constitution and the Union are once more en
gaged in their old intrigues to break down the
bulwark of our liberties. Their agents are busily
at work. You can see them approaching dis
contented Democrats, confirming them in their
eaptiousness, and assuring them that they are
right in their dissatisfacti >n. \ou can see them
hanging to the skirts of those calling themselves
Dnngtas men, flattering them, applauding their
course, urging the hi to be firm :n the position
they have taken, drawing from them rash
expressions in relation to those who differ them,
striving, in short,! v ever) means in their power
to make them gradually mnve from the platform
of Democracy, where they have stood, unwa
vering and unchanging, for years. i here are
forces at work, which operate in the darkness
of miduigh', t> effect the disintegration of our
glorious old party. Know Nothing ism, with
all its corrupting appliances, i 3 deep in the
conspiracy. Abolitionism, with its unscrupu
lous demagogues, its infidel preachers and Free
Love philosophers, is active in furthering the
diabolical purpose. The plan of the conspira
tors is obvious to all. It is to strike down James
Buchanan, and thus to tenet a serious blow at
the Democratic party, the only obstacle to the
accomplishment of their nefai ious designs. Let
Democrats, therefore, be warned. Let them
remember how many of them, honest and con-
sci'-ntious as they were, a few years ago, were
lured from the ranks of the party they loved,
by just such wiles atui decoys as are now used
to ensnare them. Let them remember, too, that
when they discovered the real nature of the
organization for which they had forsworn their
partv, and when they became disgusted with,
and shrank from, the hideous loathsomeness of
that organization, that there was still a Demo
cracy, healthy, vigorous and invincible, to open
to their, its mighty arms and to give them the
welcome ol honest and patriotic hearts. And
so there will be again. No matter who be
comes a traitor to its inter,sis, the Democratic
party will continue to exist. It is indestructi
ble. The principles on which is grounded its
foundation, are eternal as the stars. But, let
Democrats beware ol 'the tempter , tor wo to the
man who, warned of his danger, rushes mad
ly and blindly to meet it.
THE DEMOCRACY OF PENNSYLVANIA.
It is the fashion of those who differ with
President Riic'iaean j^xrbiOqil lu.,Uial adwii-.
* ttt-nt v. i' ' c I.• t ITlptfiD Ci/llSltUltl Hi,
to boast loudly of what tliey term "the hostility
of the peopie of Pennsylvania to the L< compton
Swindle." If those captious gentlemen won Id
only for a open their eyes to the truth,
they would find that the Democracy of our
State, instead of being opposed to the Kansas
policy ol tlur' National Administration, are
warmly and decidedly in its ffavor. Let
them look at the undeniable fact that three
fourths of the Democratic newspapers of the
State support that policy. Let them read the
recorded sentiment of the people i-u accounts
of public meetings sustaining and applauding
the course of Mr. Buchanan. Why, Phila
delphia has spoken, in thunder tones, her appro
val ot his administration. Twice has that noble
Democratic city placed herself on record, as a
sfanneh supporter of our Pennsylvania Presi
dent. Allegheny, in her late County Conven
tion, likewise, endorsed his Kansas policy.—
So have the Democrats of CARBON, of OAKLAND,
\ enango County, of SUSQUEHANNA, of WAYNE,
ol ERIE, ol CLEARFIELD, of CLARION, of CAM
BRIA, of BEDFORD. Where, ihen, among the
Democracy of Pennsylvania, is this "hitter hos
tility to the Lecompton Swindle," as the oppo
nents of the Administration so minci-ngiy
phrase it I We are answered in Westmoreland,
Somerset, Lycoming and among the Abolition
ists ol Philadelphia who are at present playing
Democrat to tickle Col. Forney and his co
adjutors. Well, surely, such an array as that
is imposing, especially as loni* as tire Abolition
ists are counted as Democrats!
ABOLITION POLL BOOKS.
Those immaculate gentleman, the Abolition
ists of Kansas, to gratify whose mad whims, the
Anli-Lecoinptonites are at present exercised so
terribly, it appears, are about as deep in the
mud of fraud, as they would have us believe
the pro-slavery men are in the mire o{ dishon
esty. The appended affidavit shows them up
in a very enviable light, indeed:

.Mr. Buchanan's Special Message on the Kan
sas question. — Probability of the admission
of Kansas under the Lecompton Constitu
tion.— Position of a few Democratic members
Pennsylvania Resolutions of Instruction.
The President's Special vION )(1 O ~U ytfiOro ;.j
Kansas, is comitiiiml -Itf-ail foir-wdcd
*■?; . r.< > every great question
taken hold ol hy him, the subject is left ex
hausted. Not a plank is left for Black Repub
licans or malcontents to cling to, and I venture
the assertion that as soon as the mass of the
the people read this able document of Pennsvi
vania's '• favorite son," they will wonder why
it was that men of intelligence, statesmen of
marked ability, should have gone so far astray
as to object for a moment to the immediate ad
mission of that unfortunate Territory as a sov
ereign State.
The Pit -iJent shows beyond cavil, that the
Kansas-Nebraska act of itself affords the people
ol the territory full power to adopt the neces
sary measures to form a State constitution, and
any other " enabling ' act nuw would not only
be supeifluous, bnt that it would be a violation
ol the great principle of non-intervention as set
forth in the Kansas-Nebraska Bill.
That the people cl Kansas went to wo/k in
a legitimate and prop-r manner to form their
constitution is beyond all dispute. " For this
purpose," the President say>-, '• the territorial
legislature in ISf.n, passed a law ' fir taking
the sense of the people ot tins territory upon
t-i'.e expediency of railing a convention to form
a State constitution,' at the general election to
be held in October, !806. The 'sense of the
people' was accordingly taken, and they de
cided in favor ot a convention."
I he people hav ing thus decided in favor of
a con vent>< ;D, the of the tenitorv au
thorized by law the election of delegates to
form a State constitution. In order to secure
a lull and fair electi >n under this acf, which is
shown to be ju>t and h'x-ual in all its features,
ill" President placed at the disposal of Governor
Wa'ker the army. Notwithstanding all this,
and notwithstanding Governor Walker declared
the law authori/.iug the ejection of dele
gates constitutional and fair in all its provisions,
and tfiat jt any portion of the people abstained
fitom voting they would be " bound under the
law and constitution" to acquiesce, still the free
State men generally refrained from voting.
Had the enemies to law and right fa.
ken a different course at this stage of affairs
HI Kansas and submitted to the law requir
ing all good citizens to exercise their
of franchise, all difliculties would have
here ended ! But they discarded the advice of
Governor Walker and the admonitions of the
and a<q Mr Buchanan truthfully says,
"the consefjhences of their refusal to submit to
law ful authority agd vote at the election of
delegates, may yet prove to be of a most de
plorable character."'
I iie people of Kansas have had every oppor
tunity to mould and shape their institutions in
their own way, and it they have permitted
elections to go by default it is their fault, and
tln-v should not now complain, hut goto work
as law and order men and mould institutions
as they see proper."
In order to carry out the great principle
o< non-intervention, Congress should admit Kan
sas at once. i'he died of this would be to
localize the qm stiiiii of slaverv, taking it out
of national politics, thereby giv ingtpeace to the
country.
Li regard lo the right of the people to change
their form of government at any time, the Pre
sident entertains not a doubt ; and states that if
Congress should see fit to declare this in the
act of admission it would receive his approval.
So in order that the public mind may be put
at rest in regard to this matter, 1 think it would
be well for Congress to make the declaration.
The President closes his masterly message so
feelingly that I think every heart in the coun
try must be touched with a sense of the exal
ted purity of his character. He beautifully
savs : "1 have thus performed my duty on this
important question,, under a deep sense of res
ponsibility to God and my country. My pub
lic life will terminate within a brief period, and
I have no other object of earthly ambition than
to leave my country in a peaceful and prosper
ous condition, and to live in the afFections and
respect ol my countrymen. The dark and om
inous clouds which now appear to he impend
ing over the Union, I conscientiously believe
may be dissipated with honor to every poltion
of it, bv the admission of Kansas during the
present session of Congress ; whereas it she
should be rejected, I greatly fear these clouds
will become darker and more ominous than any
which have ever yet threatened the constitu
tion and the Union."
That the present Congress will admit Kansas
under the Lecompton Constitution I have not
a doubt. True it is that a few Democratic
members have expressed opposition to that in
strument, I Hit after deliberating upon the mat
ter, these gentlemen with but few exceptions
have concluded that our worthy President is'
right and will sustain him. The very few
gentlemen who profess attachment to the Dem
ocratic party and who may cast their votes
against the policy of the Administration, wiil
have to look well to their laurels, for I cannHt
believe that we have in Pennsylvania a single
Democratic district that will not rebuke with
overwhelming deieat,a Representative who will
in any w'ay ally himsel! with Black Republi
can factions in opposing James Buchanan, es
pecially when the people find as they most
assuredly will, that the President is right in the
view he takes of this vexed question.
The friends of the Administration have hear 1
with pride and satisfaction ol the defeat of the
resolutions of instruction brought forward in
the Pennsylvania Legislature. This is a sig
nificant fact, showing that the Key-stone Slav
stands by James Buchanan and the Union.
Thanks to the noble Representatives of Penn
sylvania.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 12, 185 S.
The Presidents Levee. —Mß. BUCH A N A \
MISS LAME— Crowded City—Lecompton
Constitution. *•
The President's levee on Tuesday night was a
magnificent a/Tair, indeed. 1 am told by a
gentleman who has been a frequent attendant
upon such occasions, that the display tor beauty
and fashion excelled anything he ever saw.
At an early hour, the immediate avenues lead
ing to the White House were densely thronged
with carriages, so much so as to occasion fre
quent interuptions to their progress. Soon
after eight o'clock I entered the rotunda of the
mansion, when I found already an immense
throng of both sexes, fixed in solid phalanx, and
moving by slow degress towards the spot where
stood the greatest man of the age. In the
course of half an hour, I succeeded in reaching
the presence of Mr. BUCHANAN, and, after a
kind shake of the hand, I passed a little to one
side in order to take a good look at persons and
things.
I had seen the President several years ago,
at his home near Lancaster, a plain but accom
plished gentleman and Statesman, and although
since IhVn. he hat' '-n- 1 H?-" "" V-*-
his country at the powerful and aristocrat
Court of St. James, and his countrymen had
transferred him from thence to his present ex
alted position, 1 saw before me the same great
and good man I had seen at Wheatland. It
seemed to me that I could observe in the coun
tenance of every one who met his kind greetings
a sense of lively satisfaction that they had lived
to see "Pennsylvania's Favorite Son" President
of the United States. I believe that no man,
friend or foe, can part with Mr. BUCHANAN,
without being impressed with the full assurance
that however the storm of faction or discontent
may rage from within or without our borders,
our beloved institutions are safe in his hands.
It cannot be denied that our country is now
passing through a crisis big with impotlance,
arid fearful to contemplate; yet Mr. BICHANAN
stands at the helm of the ship of State, calm as
a summer's morn and it matters not from whom
or what quarter the storm of malignant oppos
ition may come, he will do his duty regardless
ofthe howl of ambitions malcontents.
In addition to the Sage of Wheatland, the
White House contains another very important
personage. I mean the President's niece, Miss
HARRIET LANE. This lady's position is a try
ing one, indeed, and although quite young, sfie
performs her task with a grace and fidelity,
rarely equalled. Her form is commanding, and
her dress and manners are in keeping with mod
esty. Possessing a noble 6*. natural ease of man
ner and carriage, she moved about on the occa
sion of Tuesday night, the "observed of all ob
servers and, with her graceful courtesies and
compliments,she rendered those around her per
fectly at ease. She is the favorite of all who
visit the white House."
I trust that no lady or gentleman visiting
Washington—particularly from Pennsylva
nia, will neglect paying their respects to the
President and his elegant and accomplished
niece, upon occasions of this kind. The Pres
ident's levee takes place every alternate Tues
day.
The city is full of strangers, and I am told
it is difficult for a sojourner to get sleeping quar
ters at any of our Hotels. It is strange that
some capitalist does not erect a first class Ho
tel. I think an investment of the kind would
pay well.
The Lecompton constitution will pass both
Hous°s of Congress by a respectable majority.
The free-State party having a majority of the
Legislature of Kansas, can, as soon as they are
admitted, go to work and alter or amend their
constitution in "their own way." What a re
lief it will be to see Kansas admitted. I lon
for the occasion.
VERITAS.
From the New York Herald.
TBE ATTEMPT ON THE LIFE OF NAPOLEON,
PARIS, Jan 21, 1858.
The Emperor and Empress having determin
ed to honor the benefit of .Mapal at the Grand
Opera, in the Rue Lepelletier, arrived at the
theatre about half past eight o'clock on Thurs
day evening, the 14th inst. The frontage of
this theatre occupies some eighty feet, and falls
l ack a little from the line of the street. A lofty
zinc screen,shaped like a verandah, runs alon '
it, protecting the entrances from the public!
Hut it is not through one of these that the Em
peror passes on occasions of his being present at
performances, bat through a side door, which-*,,
seen from a slight projecting wing on tbe left,
tiie consequence being that his carriage is obli
ged to pull f in a corner, describing a right
angle to the main building. A position, there
fore, more appropriate for such an attack could
hardlv have been selected. The carnage iiad
scarcely approached the door, when a tremen
| dons explosion took place, immediately follow
ied by two others. The effect was awful, no less
than 141 persons, as ha 3 since been ascertained,
| being wounded, some of them mortally. Ihe
pause and stupor that followed the still silence
following" upon a repor4 which was that of so
1 rhany pieces of ordnance—the sudden extinc
tion of all gas in front of the theatre—the mo
ment of mortal fear, when each man in the
darkness, hearing of his neighbor's fall, would
naturally think his own at hand, can better be
imagined than described. About a dozen of the
' Lancers who formed the escort on the occasion
1 were suddenly irorne away by their horses to a
I distance of one hundred yards. It seems that
the animals, panic struck at such an unexpected
explosion, and some of them partially wounded
|by the projectiles, became ungovernable, and
i-tlitis performed an involuntary chaige, w hicb is
supposed to have cleared the streets ol sundry
groups who knew more about what was g >ing
on, perhaps, than they would like to confess. —
It indicates something of the nature of the vigi
lance used on such occasions when the chief
! magistrate of France goes among his lieges, to
; know that out of the 141 persons maimed and
j killed, twenty-eight of them were police agents
and their employers. The explosive projectiles
used on this occasion were bombs, one of which
iftastfinre been examined. They are pear-sha
ped, and M. Oaron and M. Devisme, the well
known gunsmiths, alter taking the percussion
caps one by one and unscrewing the nipples,
discovered in the open body of the shell a quan
tity of gravish powder, which has not yet been
analyzed, but which has all the appearance of
fulminate of m*rcury. The outside consisted
of thick glass, from which several tubes project
ed, each covered w ilh detonating caps. The
interior was composed of old nails, pieces of iron,
slugs and bullets; and how formidable was the
effect they were capable of producing, the front
of the Opera and the laces of the houses oppo
site sufficiently attest. T went myself early the
next morning to inspect a locality which cannot
fail for the future to have a traditionary interest,
and the spectacle was indeed a fearful - one.—
The pavement was still wet with blood. The
zinc screen was perforated like a cullender with
holes the size of an or3iige ; the lamp posts,
curbstones and bases of the pillars were seared
and torn as with grape shot. The windows of
the theatre were smashed, as were many of
those in the houses opposite.
The Fate of Mexico,
The pressure of events in Mexico is at la>t
forcing upon the slow perceptions of our states
men the consciousness that poor broken down
Mexico is a very "sick man," and that John
Bull is preparing to take out letters of adminis
tration on his effects, to the exclusion of Brother
Jonathan, who is "next heir," and the legiti
mate successor to this tine estate.
What is to be done with .Mexico* This is a
question that cannot he put off much longer i f it
is to be answered in a calm and practical wav,
and for the best interests of the whole American
people. The Richmond South takes a broad
national view of this subject, and is undoubted
ly right in assuming that it is looming up in the
horizon a vital and impending paily issue ;
there may he some default of courag or promp
titude in our Government when the timeof
action arrives. We have no shadow of doubt
on the subject. The Democratic party, with
President Buchanan in the lead will meet the
coming emergency as it should be met—on the
M uiroe basis— that an Jimericnn policy must
lule the American continent; that the interven
tion of foreign powers must no more be permit
ted foarrest the progress of the Union or the
development of American interests.
As our cotemporary, the Richmond South,
assumes, on the most undeniable authority, that
j "England is opposed to American expansion,
j and we cite Elliot's mission to Texas and the
1 Ciayton-Bulwer trap (into which this country
| fell, like any oilier elephant,) as proof*. We
i assume that Spain has never forgiven Mexico
lor her successful revolutions and her suspended
tribute. Both these nations are the creditors
of Mexico, as is every one who would trust her.
Suppose, then, in the absence of any clearly
| defined policy on the part of our Government,
either of these creditor nations shall avail theni-
I selves of the defenceless Condition of Mexico,
j Suppose England shall take a few Slates, bv
j virtue of the lien claimed by her bondholders,
|or establish a protectorate, that the revenue
| laws should make good her orders on the custom
houses. Would government protest against
such an act ? And, if that protest be disregar
ded, would it resist such intervention by force
of arms I
Most unquestionably onr Cabinet is prepared
to do its whole duty in such a crisis, and some
thing of the kind is nut far off. Jt has been
foreseen ; and, as a preliminary step, Congress
was invited to disencumber the Government of
the Ciayton-Bulwer fraud, and to invest the
: Executive with powers adequate to the emergen
-1 ,y : r
j I lie right to suspend the neutrality laws at the
j discretion of the Executive, if the rase should
! Call fir such a step, is an essential and telling
jWp towards a commanding attitude. The Auo
j : itimists, who are the natural allies of England
gainst the expansion of the Union, are always
j strong enough in Congress to hamper and delay
j action in any contingency in which the gain or
loss of a new State may turn upon instant and
! peremptory measures.
I ake it in what aspect we may or ran, it all
depends, at last upon the firm, unalienated
gnod will of (lie Noithern Democracy, and its
sincere and hearty co-operation with the South,
whether England or the United States shall ad
minister on the effects of the dying man of
Mexico.
If we are true to American interests, and
opi-n our ears to the calls of humanity, we will
at once enter upon those precautions which
alone can save the neighboring people from
ruin. It is in the last convulsions of its expiring
nationality, and we must not turn our laces
from the fact. We must meet and control it.
there is one faint hope left, but it is a very
faint one—that Mexico will boldly take up the
war against Spain; and under the influence of
this tonic, ihe people may rally their energies
forget their internal troubles, and take Cuba and
a nen-lease of life together. Poor Mexico is
past making such a grand effort. The 'sick man's'
debility is too excessive. His constitution is
all g<*ie, and nothing remains to hun but to die
as quietly as be can, and leave his children and
to the care ol that energetic businessman

Arizona Territory.
We make the following extract from the cor
respondence of the San Francisco Herald , in
reference to Arizona. It will be that it
confirms our previous notices of the value of
the new Territory, and the necessity for its
separate organization ;
"The great plague of the country is the
Apaches. They divide up into small bands and
scour the country on every side. This place
(Tueson) is almost the only frontier town in the
Purchase which has withstood their ravages,
and even here stock cannot range in safety a
mile from the town without a guard. In all
probability the Government, in a few years,
will forever settle these pests. They are a
hardy, crafty tribe, but not at all brave. There
is no longer any doubt that this country is
immensely ricfi in mines of silver, gold, copper,
iron and lead. I have traveled all the mineral
districts of Norfh America, and 1 have seen
enough here to satisfy me that this is the richest
of them all. The people here raise two crops
a year, but have to irrigate lor one,
"Why do not some of your enterprising San
Francisco merchants open a trade with Ari
zona ? Goods ell there at enormously high
prices, and much the largest portion of them are
biought by the ways of Texas and Missouri.
There are but few who have anything like a
coirect idea of the mineral wealth of the Gads
den Purchase, or of the value as a stock grow
ing country; and, in fact, many places are now
lying idle, waiting for an occupant, combining
all the advantages of good grazing, good farm
ing land,and rich silver mines—all ot which
can be secured upon one pre-emption claim.
" There are large tracts of the finest kind of
farming land between this place and M-ssilia,
which will be taken up as soon a* the Apaches
are quieted. At piesent,jno one can ii any
thing here without some capital. I arn satisfied
with my adventure. This country has ail the
elements which inakp a great State, and waits
; now but for the people. The "Sonoia mining
I Company," operating near Tuber, about seventy
; miles up the valley from this place, have lately
(discovered a vein of silver ore of extraordinary
j extent and richness. The Mexican miners re
| gard it as worth millions. I will w rite you
! more fully about this hereafter. Our greatest
I want now is the territorial government. There
: are too many men living here without laws;
' and although they have got along very well so
far, it is not safe to trust longer to the present
state of things. But I must bring this intolera
i bie long letter toa ciose. I will u rite again by
i next mail."
i A petition signed by about one thousand re
sidents of Ai izona, has been received at the

j be stationed in the IViritory, to protect the in
habitants against the ravages ol the Apache In

by MA j. \V ASHAHAie.H was very fine—such a one as
the MAJOR knows so well how to give. In short "all
went merry as a marriage bell," and that so it may
ever "go" with the COL. and his amiable bride, is
the sincere wish of THE PKINTEK.
