The National Democracy. Daring these changing times, saym'the Ra ton Rouge .ddroooe, when political earth quakes are scarcely more sudden and inexldi cable than the social disorders and, diseases of the day are dangerons, it well becomes the sound and ever-faithful Democracy to keep a vigilant eye to the land-marks of itH organi zation. Isms of almost endless variety are rife among us, and disorganization is the chief feature of parties that once claimed immuta bility from the inherent nature of things,_ Schisms have worked out the disintegr' ation of it once formidable antaffoni4e.to Democracy wk , —the old Whig party—while yet its princi ples wore fresh and cheribhed by its founders. --Know Notbingism assumed to be its sue enssor—Nemegis avenged the base assump tion, and the outraged gods wore propitiated .—the bloody monster-fell at the first well aimed blow, gasped out its miserable existence in the cesspools of its own creation, and was heralded to the grave of infamy by the on cern tion-ur an indignant public opinion. Black RepubliCanism, too, will have its day, and then wend its way down the current of events to be forgotten, or only be remembered for the corruption of its lowiers and the amazing hallucination that hounded on its followers to a violation of the , laws of the• land and the compaet Of a common brotherhood. It is surely and speedily destined for a plane among "the things that were," if humanity yet har bors it beim of that justice and patriotism which have preserved our country from external and internal , foes all through' the momentous transactions of its existence. Standing out in peculiar and marked sig- nificuncr in the history- of our country, appar ently exempt from the common mortality of political organizations, burning with the un quenched fires of youth, throbbing with exul tant, robust life, brilliant with future hope, confiding in the prestige of past triumphs, alive to the great demands upon it of posteri ty, the Democratic, party may well enlist the attention of the philosopher, the love of the patriot, the sympathy - of freemen everywhere. Its history is that of the Republic:—together they have grown—together they exist—to gether they will work out their destiny. Let us guard them against innovation and injury from open enemies with the same zeal that wo would rebuke and crush out their pretended friends. Sensible Rein arks.

In conversation, a tow' evenings since, with a number of gentlemen on the subject of the supposed poisoning at the National Hotel, in Wa.dtington, one of them remarked that had such a thing happened there at the incoming of a Know Nothing Administration, instead of a Democratic, the whole dark lantern press of the land would have laid it to the door of the Catholics, as a plot to destroy the Govern ment—and there would have been people gullible enough to believe the story ! We were struck with the difference between the Peameratio and Know Nothing parties in this respect. The cause of the disease has been enquired into, and every effort made to inves tigate it thoroughly.

Since it has been officially known in Washington that the British govern ment has appointed Lord Elgin as minister plenipotentiary to China, our own government has determined to scud one thither at an ear ly day. Owing to the great distance to China, and the time necessarily involved in receiving offi cial communications, the administration is solicitous of selecting a minister in whom the utmost confidence can be Idaced, and who will be governed by a wi , e discretion, consid ering the general interests involved, includ ing our increasing commerce in that part of the world. 12(7 - A gala with us—the birds': =II = 1 Confession of a Wife Murderer.

We arose between six and seven o'clock on :WedneSclay morning,„when 1 - spoke to her about the blow she had given me, showing her where she had struck me on the evening previous, also the blood on the bolster and tick. She said she wished I had bled to death, and picking up a stick of hickory wood, she attempted to strike me. I warded off the blew, which fell upon my right thumb, laming it severely. The stick fell from her hand, and as she stooped to pick it up, I seized a flat-iron, and in the heat of ,passion. stmekler with it on the right side of the head, upon and under the ear, driving the ear-ring into the flesh. She fell to the floor, exclaiming, ' l oh !

L COMPILER. 11.outl S)fALL CA PETAL !—Of a truth, dark lantern K now Not hingism must be "hard up" for capital—out of ammunition, almost to the last shot. Another "flash in the pan," such as a few Of the busy ones here experienced eight or ten days since, will leave them with out a solitary grain in their lockers. Three or four weeks ago, a lad, who had been placed by his friends at the College near Enunitsburg, to receive an education, be coming tired of study, and finding the routine of C 0114,73 duties not coming up entirely to his notions of "free and easy," left the Insti tution without the 'permission of the proper authorities, and wended his way to this place. A tutor fidlowed him, and the boy was taken batik—as buys have often heretofore been, af ter having taken, "French leave," without ex citing any other remark. than "served • them right." Before leaving this for Emmitsburg, the driver was approached by several Know othings—gentlemen of"strong sympathi es!" --who endeavored to persuade him to give the boy an opportunity of getting away on the road homeward. But they were not suc cessful. Oil lust Thursday a-week, the boy again left the Institution without leave, and of course came this way, having found "strong sympa 441 .1 „r " here before. Having been, as we u v,:tTali ) ) Id, hard to control at home, and therefore placed under the care and guardian ship of the conscientious and respected Presi dent of the College, it was felt to be a duty to pursue him again, and if possible carry out the wishes of his friends in regard to him. A tutor of the College, and a gentle Man of Emmitsburg, soon after came to this place, and on inquiring for the boy,were told by sev eral Know Nothings that he was shortly be fore seen on the road to Hanover, making for that place. They Went there, but finding nu trace hiin, naturally concluded that they had been intentionally deceived, and atone° re turned. Arriving here, information of a most reliable charade,. was communicated to-them, to the effout that the boy was eencealed at Shriver's tavern, in the south part of this' town, but that he would not be given up.-= Several Know Nothings had resolved on that. Having no desire to infringe .any law of our State, but believing it best for the boy that he should -be taken back, legal Process was 4,- sued, and served upon Mr. Shriver, the. writ returnable before Judge. ZieAler at 7 o'clock on Friday evening. This wa" evidently going farther than the Know Nothing had antici pated,—the matter now wore a serious aspect, —and their "strong sympathies" were giving way rapidly. So, at the proper time, the writ was returned by a 'Know Nothing neighbor of Mr.,Shriver's, who stated that Mr. S. was sick, but the "proxy" wished to know whe ther "the matter could not be fixed without further trouble !" He was answered, that if the.boy was produced, all further proceedings }would cease. This ho consented. to do, and the boy was given up. When found; he was at Mr. Ogden's, close to the tavern, from which we are told he had been brought in the morning The buy himself says, as we are assured, that when he came to town, he-was stopped on Baltimore street, by a person who asked him some questions, and recommended him, or took him to, Shriver's tavern, where -he remained until next morning, when he went, or was taken to, Ogden's. IN was conveyed back to the College, on Saturday morning ; but having evinced so in corrigible a dispostion not to pursue his it was thought best to advise his studi Y' - friends wt Lancaster of it, and to require his remo%al from the College. _ He has since been taken away, not he cause it was thought that the treatment he received was har,h or improper, but because he is a stuhborn and unmanagable boy, and would be likely to give. those in charge of the Institution more trouble than-they could rea sonably be asked to undertake. It seems that. he has a propensity fur running away, having even left his own home (before being placed at College) without saying'"by your leave," and consequently given those more immediately interested in his welfare no little an xiety.— lie is evidently - A willful buy, and knows how manufacture "strung sympathy" with the This is as clear a statement of the facfs as We are able to give, and it can be relied upon. The affair is hardly of sufficient consequence to deserve newspaper notice, but we have deemed it a' duty to do so, in view of the ef forts made by the Star and the Know Noth ing news carriers to create out of it a founda tion upon which to build political capital.— These parties circulate innumerable rumors in reference to it, but fortunately for the cause of Truth, most of them are so ridiculous as to bear the evidences of falsehood upon their very face, and no sensible man will be humbugged by them. = 125-Since writing the above, we have re ceived information of a character so full and reliable as to authorize us to pronounce the article in the last Star as replete with false hoods. It is false, that the young lad spoken of has been taken away from Mount St Mary's Col lege, because hiS guardian was discontented with or disapproved of the treatment of the child or any proceeding of the College author- ities. It is false, that "a gentleman from Lancas ter was authorised to demand from the officers of the Institution the di.wharge of the child." It is false, that "the lad had been cruelly ?chipped and maltreated." It is false, that "he was not permitted to com municate with his uncle or friends." It is false; that "his letters w.'re orerhauled." It is also false, that any —communication was made by actirc ur spies of any kind, "to the qfflcers of that Institution ;" and, again, it is false, that in consequence (Intel, coin ! munication, 4 'one qf the BY: ferts of the college made his appearance in GelP'ysburg." Each and everyone of these assertions is a distinct falsehood, and, in respect to the College and its authorities, is a slander. — The' child in question is but twelve years old; his name is not correctly given in the Star and Banner, and his conneetions respectable and numerous fur us to give it un necessary publicity. lie was removed from Mount St. Mary's College On the ninth of this month, because the President of the College req uired his removal, and jor no other mutt whatever. The young gentleman, who is falsely rep resented as coining "authorized to demand the boy's discharge," on the contrary urged the PresideAt to keep the child under his care, and expressed the keenest regret at the ne.. cessity of taking him am-Iy. The very sym pathetic yentlemen, who undertook to "cm-mini/- ideate with the boy's friends - iii.Zuneaster," are perfectly understood and estimated by tte , boy's friends fur precisely what !hey life. Such an outrageously hypocritical professiun of uhilanthropretiuld never be mistaken. The boy having left the College in disobedi ence to his guardian, who has Ling k nown the Institution and patronized it by educating his own son there, was. sent for on the same day. When the gentlemen who wereauthor ized to look after the boy, had- clearly ascer tained that officious internieddlers, for no good purpose, were secreting him in violation of law, and moreover exciting a spirit of mob violence, . they did what gentlemen accustom ed to do their duty and maintain theit'rights, should always do in such eases,—they ap pealed to the proper tribunal, the' legally een stituted authority, and by due process of law compelled the quibbling, tergiversating, frigh tened violaters of order and justice to surren der the child into the hands of those to whom his guardian had entrusted him. The good and right-thinking citizens of Gt. ttysburg disap proved of and discountenanced the unprinci pled conduct of a small proportion of their fellow townsmen; and the unvolled for and lawless interference of a set of internieddlers, who like the editor of the Star and 'Banner, would cover the deeds. of hypocrites with the garb of philanthropy, received a merited re buke.
