There can be no cowipromise between the two great
principles of Democracy and .Festeratbuzi. They • are
naturally and implacably antarinistic. YOO may at
tempt to mingle them to-day; but they will separate to
morrow. Even hi the absence of aN immediate causes
of difference and supposing di4 political world to be
wady for a fresh start, with all its ancient divputes dis
posed of; there ii not • question that will hereafter
ari.-e, no matter bow narrow, or hu i broad—how small,
or how great—upon which die Democratic and Federal
principles will not take love, and upon which they will
not differ. Indeed these two element:sere in this erran
try „ at the same time enemies and relations.;" enemies
upon all the great objects of goveiument and society,but
friends in the sentiment which makes the masses of both
alike pond of a coinmon country, and ready to defend
it. Thus, while the latter attracts, the former repels
them ;. thus it is that if they do not hate, like the two
nations alluded to by the learned historian, they at least
watch and control, each other. Hence the lint-endive
necessity of parties in this country—growing as ; they do- I
from / that lusuriant Dolt ...of freedom, in which 'various
opinions are left to contend against and to correct each
other. If in the collisions that ensue — : in the storms that
fellow—bad feelings should be engendered—the . very
violence of the e:ngest—the very power of the .storm—
serves not only to leave a pore atmosphere behind, but
to test anew that mighty fabric of government Which,
ensted- for these purposes. approves its - consummate wis
dom, and strength, the. more its vast qualities are tried,
or the broadei and deeper the responsibility devolved Up,
on it. He that attacks the spirit of party, or he'that
hopes to eredieste;or destroy it, either . reasons upon a
most absurd philosophy, or else he adopts with cool com
placency., what must really be' one of the most efficient

There can, then, in our opinion, be no fusion of par
ties in this country. The very attempt will only widen
the necessary chum that should exist between opposing
creeds. The present calm means nothing, save that the
Democratic party has defeated and overthrown its 'slur
nary in a succession of trials. That adversary is only
tired, not conquered. He is sleeping, not dead. Nay,
his very proposal to unite the two eiementatia in fact a
proof that he is about to amuse and awake. It by •
nose like this he can obtain power, he wit soon unde
ceive those who are credulous enough to think him sin
cere in his professions. We seemly know what be
would propose in such a contingency ; bat we know that
the Democratic principle would repel and denounce, and
finally defeat it.
We are net to be fooled by such a cry is this. Even
the name of General TALLOIR will not induce us to fur
get our far, greater principles. We are for our party
now and fiir our party always. Those who would itake
this sentiment odious are themselves the most insidious
foes of freedom. They clamor against what is the pro
tection of the country, and they propose what would be
its
two. Let ns not he misled by ingestions which,
dangerous as they seem to be, are scarcely plausible, be
cause they cannot be defended• and are easily expired.
Let us stand by our principles and OUT, party, and the
storm that passes over us will lease us eratt and comas

-headlong beatflong into the troubled and un•

hope of amassing stupendous fortunes, at one

btight idea would strike them, and they would
turn right round and d—p Gen. Jackson for
vetoing the U. S: Bank. when that measure
hail about as-much to do with their misfortunes
as the man in the moon. All these wild, gam
bling schemes came to a head in the spring of
'37. Then there was a rattling among the dry
bones, sure enough. About that time I was in
Vicksburg. I' saw a large crowd in fronl,of one
of the Hotels, listening to an old gentleman.,
who was giving in his experience, as it was
called. .. I went to New Orleans," said he.
..a few days since. to strange a small Bill of
Exchange that 1 bad drawn for fifteen hundred
dollars. I immediately called'on 'my Com
miseion Merchant. Ile told me flatly, that he
could not accept for me again...unleas I would
give new endorsers. I couldn't do that. The
net proposition was, that I should pay a part of
the money. This was equally out of my power,
and the first thing I knew 1 found myself in
the Calaboose —a sort of stray-pen for the
benefit to foreign creditors. , I looked around,
and there sat some of the best dressed men, and
the finest looking men I had seen in all New
Orleans, thinking their Champagne and their
Cogniac, smoking their cigars, and talking over
tkeir affairs. One had been Calaboosed for
%icy thousand dollars—another for fifty thou
sand. The debts seemed to range from twen
ty. to one hundred and fifty thouiand dollars.
I sat there like a poor man at a country frolic
—having nothing to say. At length one of the
gentlemen walked up to me, and slapping me
on the shoulder, said, .. Well, my old rock, how
much were you cribbed for!" Said I, .'Fifteen
hundred &Mars." .Ye Gods—if a thunder
bolt had knocked - the roof off the building, he
could not have looked more astonished. lie

the odious Alien Law by which the Irish and
all foreigners wero reduced to a condition but
little removed from that of negro slavery ; and
it is Yetterilism which, would now, under the
garb of Nativism, prevent them from the enjoyr

Notwithstanding such his been, and iv. the
hostile spirit of Federalises towards the WA,
the leaders is that political _school. do not scru

of truth and fairness. to mislead and prejudice
the mind of the Irish voter. The Harrisbutg
Argus, alluding to a recent attempt of this cha
racter. thus remarks
The unworthy clod of the ,Fetleral party
in Pennsylvania, to decoy the naturalized citi
zens into the support of their Measures, this
new scheme of Federalism, to unite to its sup-
port the Republican heart vf Irishmen i should
mantle the cheek, even of its Ova authors with
crimson.
What are we witnessing—why that polite
icel party in America, who have always been
found in union and harmony with England, in
the inglorious effort to turn back antl - cru;the
struggle of the triah people for liberty fb this
same fetteral party are now exerting themselves
by every species of Finesse and management,
to dec,ny the generous sons of the Emeral
into the unnatural work of sustaining and com
forting their ancient enemies.
Every impulse of ille - Irishman's heart
beats for r ilemocracy. That gallant ;but op--
pressed people, have never failed to be receiv
ed with open arms by,the republicans of the
United States—they are their natureallies and
friends— , have ever given them a h arty 1

broadest righti of citizenship, nuclei the ban

" Federalism has looked with cold indiffer
ence upon the political suffering of the Irish
people, subdued, by the degrading process of
British oppression, .
" Federalism has looked down in scorn and
entire distrust upon the adopted Irish citizen.
They regard Ireland as being inferior and
treat her generat s sons with assumed - con
tempt. Do the ederal party in Pennsylvania
1.
now propose to bling lriihmen to the rescue.
at the coming election lot, Governor—if they
do, let them be assured, ;they know but little
of the proud and resistant elements that enter
into the character of the Irish people. No
amalgamation can ever take'place between the
oppressors and the oppressed,whether it he the
Federal party in America or the Tory party in
England.
The noble and lofty impulses \
of liberty are
the same, Whether it animates an Irish or an
American-bosom, and democracy sympathizes
equally with the adopted and native born citi
zen. in this " lam. of the free and home of the

GENERAL TATLOR AND THE PRESIPENCT.—
rhe New Orleans Bulletin has been furnished
by Wm. 1, Hodge, Esq., of Baton Rogue,
with the following extract from a private letter
addressed to him by Gen. Taylorr
In regard to the Presidency. I will not say
that I would not serve, if the good people of
the country were to require me to do eo. how
ever much it is opposed to my wishes, for 3
am free to say that I have no aspiration for the
situation. My greatest, perhaps only 'wish,
has been to bring or aid in bringing. this war
to a speedy and honorable close. It has ever
been, and still is, my anxious wish,.that some
one of the most experienced, talented, and vir
tuous etatesmtn of the country. should be cho
sen to that high place at the nex election. 1
am satisfied that, if our f i rtes4edo • duty,
that such a citizen may * elected.
i c
e.. 1 must, howev iv - be allowed to say, hat I
have noyhe yank to consider myself 'al&
ed for so high and ponsible asimian, and
whilst we have far more eminent as4,d'esersing
names before the country, I should prefer to
stand aside if one of them could- be raised to
the first office in the gift of a free people.
I go for the countrythe whole country ;
and it is my ardent and sincere wish to see the
•individual place) at the head of the nation
who, by a strict observance of the constitution,
(be he whom he may) can make us most pros
perous at home, as well as most.. respected
abroad."
LATER FROM SALNTA F6.-Five days later
news from Santa Fe was brought to St. Louis
op the 22d inst., by Mr. d• McKnight, a tra
der from'Santa Fe. He represents the coon
try to be in a most critical state, and that a rev
olution was daily anticipated. The executions
which had taken place, had caused a great sen
sation, particu6rly at Puebla.
And Indian express had been received at
Vegas, from Taos. for a large body of men
to hold themselves in readiness to march there.
It was the general.opinion that anoth r.an-d
-speedy effort would be made by the 6 Ricans
to revolutionize the country from' A erican
sway.
The chief alealdelnd others At Veg , who
were peacefully disposed, were trying to pre
vent sueli a movement, bpt it is evident that
nothing can effect it except the presence of a
strong force to overawe them.
The Camanche Indians are very trouble
some, and have announced their intentions. to
attack every party.
THE WAY TO AAVERTISE.-The New York'
Express says-7e were shown a receipt for
nine hundred eighteen dollar; and seventy
fuse, cents, the amount paid in advance for one
year's advertising. by pr. Townsend, in a
Phitadetphia paper. Ilse -Dr. paid one of the
New Yotk papers more thin double shut amount
last rear and this. It is not astonishing that
his medicine has gained the great popularity it
has attained throughout the country, for he
, knows how and is not afraid to advertise. •
RIOT AND Fees.—The building at Raven
wood, opposite, Blackwell's Island, known as
the Long}lsland Forma, and lormerly occupied
by the Ophan children in the care of the city,
was attapted by a mob last night (May 26)
about 12 o'clock, and partly destroyedvio
lence, then deliberately 'firett and utterly con
sumed. The building Cost 640,000. and has
been constructed about ten years. The tense
ofthis violence was making the building a bospi•
tat for pauper emigrant*.
