Dissolution cf the tafoeo Pur'y.
In a speech delivered on the 13th ultimo at
Cleveland, Ohio, Mr. John V an Buren declared
his belief that the Democratic party, as ana- j
tional party, was dissolved. A Washington
, ,j, e r imagines that there is more truth than :
■ . try ia this announcement. The only nation
nn'rty is that which rallies about Gen. Tay
-1 That is a thoroughly national party. It
avoids sectional and local issues. It rejects
r.icrelv sectional and local interests. ]t seeks
nndidites who are available because they are
,-i-eptablc to the whole people. It puts forth
Iw yhsoleto dogmas, or idle generalities, f u r its
prhiciples ; but rests content with such mea-
MIITS as the people may demand, seeking to
force none 0:1 them against their will. What ,
• i 0 ? ;!e desire within the Constitution, and
■k for in the forms known to that instrument, 1
the people are entitled to have and will cer- j
t linlv obtain, under the present administration, j
li'thev want a larili'less ruinous to the coal arid
iron interests than that of 1846, they have only
to a-k fur it- It they want its absurdities
stricken out of the Sub-Treasury law, they will
meet with no obstacle from the Administration.
If t'uev call out for harbor and river improve
-1 tents, their call will not be disregarded. If it
is their desire that the condition of the Depart
ments. past and present, should be investigated,
thev will meet with no denials or impediments. 1
Relief they will have: light they will have;
beael:> ia! measures they will have, to the extent
to which they desire them, as manifested thro'
their Constitutional organs.
This condition of things presents a nearer
:r .. ito a pure Democratic Government— |
, r Government based cn the w ill of the people
—than Las been known in this country for twen
ty war-. The people will see and understand
it. -.ad will rally about an administration which
?eeki only to gratify their w ill. They will find
raat they have a President of the people, when
they have a President only anxious to give the ;
jeople satisfaction. It matters not what the j
trie* ds of such a President style themselves— !
Whi,'-. or Republicans, or Democrats—they j
; their power on the popular will, and the
. ular affection will be a shield and a sword
to them. Hence it is that the party which now i
- ipports General Taylor, is national, is united,
and will be prosperous and invincible.
But how is it with the Locofoco party? Is it
*,at, as a national party, dissolved? .Must not
the true Democratic party —the party composed
> fti.e majority, and therefore rightfully entitled
to the prestige of the Democratic name—he rc
e instructed of other elements than those of ,
self-styled Democracy? In the North, wo see
the two wings represented by Mr. Van Buren
and Mr. Cass. Can they ever come together
again? The junior Van Buren says it is impos
-ibie. Mr. Butler says he thinks it is worth
trying for in view of the spoils. The Federal
J\it of New York and the Locofoco .?rgin of |
Albany stand apart, like the sage of Kinderhook '
and the hero of Duck Crer-k.
In the South, we find Mr. Benton suspected,
struck at, almost denounced by the sole organ of
Locofoeoism. We find him at dagger-drawing
with the other great champion of his party, who
scorns to own him us a rival, but scowls upon
him with undisguised contempt. In every sec- |
tkm of the country, the Locofoco party is en- '
ftrebled by division, and has not a single strong
rallying point left, it has not a single princi
ple or doctrine to reconstruct itself upon. It
ha= lost all its thunders.
\\ e think, therefore, there is much good
sense in Mr. Van Buren's frank declaration that
the so-called Democratic party, as a national j
, arty, is dissolved, ll" our WBIC friends in the
B;utes where our Congressional elections are
? be held are but true to themselves and the ■
country, it trill never be re-united.
In the speech above referred to, Mr. Van
turen hits off that old political sinner Ritchie
as follows:
But, Mr. President, wc want a National
; -.rty. We have none. We have no National
Editors. f speak of the Democratic party. J
E.t ; :e is not an organ of the Democratic par
ty. True, he might become so. 1 can very j
v.i-l! imagine that he might become radically :
anti-slavery. Nothing in the past history of '
that man goes to preclude the possibility ot ;
-.. h an event. He denounced Gen. Jackson
;u terms of the most abandoned bitterness. 1
The election of Andrew Jackson," said he, j
to the Presidency of these United States, would !
tie a greater calamity than war, pestilence, or •
famine.' And yet, afterwards he turned in, and j
helped to elect him hciee to the Presidency !
He denounced the Independent Treasury bill as
measure fraught with danger to the liberties j
< f the people as an infernal invention of the j
President and his Secretary, by which one kind I
of currency w as to be provided for government, j
and another for the people; and now he floods
ic air with appeals to stand by it, as a basis
upon which the disbanded Democracy may be
rallied ' whilst bis ink turns pale at the fright
ful rigor with which be deals out encomiums
upon Tt, as the perfect production of human
•.'.-dorn: 1 am reminded of a remark of the
lamented and revered Sila3 Wright, lie said
that Ritchie experienced no difficulty at ail in
1 imaging his position ; but that that very facility
• xlinguished every particle of his influence."
He may come right; but he w ill present a spec
tacle which wril challenge the contempt of
every one who shall have a fair claim to be
ranked as a human being. Look at him, sitting
at the seat of Government. A Convention of
slave holders is assembled to hold lamentations
over the advance of the free spirit of the land,
and consummate their plars for the dissolution
of the Union. A slave-holder occupies the
chair of state, knitting his brows to indignantly
lr -wn down the efforts of freemen for freedom ;
. : the Union is threatened by Southern men
.i! every hand. Does he speak? Does he
.<! an alarm, and give notice of danger?
. . But there he sits, lamenting over the re
moval of a Hoi lector of Customs, or pregnant
" nit holy horror, when the head of a decapi
tated Inspector rolls from the block! lev, there
tits, like a superannuated market worn in, by the
11 *ide, crying oi'r lur broken g; :s! In my
riioii, the only tui.e. which he can play upon
cricked organ, to which the Deinoctacy
run iiiiaer-all} respond, is this :
<>tr carry me back v> Old Virginity."

I HE CUM. TRADE. —The shipments of coal
from the Schuylkill region, for the week ending
on Thursday of last week, amount to 59,236.16
tons, making an aggregate this year of 732,901.07
tons, or about 260,QU0 tons less than to the same
period last year. The trade is greatly crippled,
and the necessity of aw ider market seriously
felt. Serious dilllculties also exist between the
miners and employers, and many mines have
been closed rather than to submit to the arbi
trary terms of the miners, the men having con
spired to prevent work unless certain conditions I
are complied with. The high rates of freight
on the railroad and canal also present an ob
stacle in the way of the success of the trade, of
which the Lehigh miners are taking advantage,
and crowding their coal upon the market.
THE ABDUCTION* CASE. —The abduction of
Juan Francisco Rev, from New Orleans, has
created great excitement in that city, and is
eliciting much comment from the press gener
ally. Advices from New Orleans to the 21st, '
by telegraph, state that notwithstanding the de
nial of the Spanish Consul, Don Carlos de Es- I
pana, of his participation in the affair, he had ;
been arrested with two other persons, and held !
to bail in SSOOO, to appear on the 7lh. We see I
it stated that the offence with which Rev stands
charged, was the releasing from the ca, tel of the
Havana of Don Cirillo Villaverde, a Cuban gen
tleman of much literary fame, now in the city
of New York. This Senor Villaverde, is known !
to he interested in the circulation of Im I trdad, I
a paper avowedly established in New York, to
advocate the enfranchisement of the liispano-
Amcrican colonies. After his escape, Villa
verde and Senor Tolon, editor of l.a Veardad,
were sentenced to death, and great efforts were
made lo arrest them, and it is said also the turn- ;
key Rev.— Daily -Vttrs.

sons be no prejudiced against tins uow truly celebrated
medicine as 11 despise tins advice ; let it be used immedi
ately on pain being f>-ttl no matter where it maybe, j
whether in the head or feet, whether it be in the back or .
abdomen, whether arising from external or internal cause, '
use the Brandreth's Pills, and rely wpon it, that the pain ,
will go, the body will be restored to heaith a* soon as na
ture has received sufficient lutaTtsce from their effect. !
The quantity of impure humors discharged from the
body by the action of the Brandrelh's I'tlls, is replaced iu J
the course of a f. w hours with new and pure blood, by ,
the digestion of a moderate meal. By purging the body
with this medicine the whole mass of blood becomes en
tirely purified ami regenerated.
That the blood is the iife of the body, I presume is un
disputed, therefore 1 shall say that it being the SEAT OE :
LU E, it must also be the seat of disease. If disease be in ;
Hie blood, we should abstract the disease only, not the ;
blood It is the impurities which must be removed by |
purgut on to secure our health, in allslates of the weather, !
HI all situations, and in all climates. The blood, like a
good spirit, is always trying lo benefit the body by its ,
struggles to expel impurities. But rt is not capable to ef- j
feet its own purification at all times : to do this it must '
often have assistance. When the blood is loaded with to- I
purities, especially iu litis ■ innate, the consequences may .
he fatal, provided the blood is not purified at once, and j
tins is sure lo be effected if Braudretii's l'llls are used.
