THE ELECTIONS THIS TEAR,
last year we had no Demooratio viotories to
record ; end we had to endure repeated defeats
with ail the equanimity we could. But our faith
in the true and tried Democracy never wavered.
It is the party of the people and of the constitu
t on, and it cannot, must not fail. Occasional
defeats do but purify it, and relieve its ranks
from the unreliable and the false It rises
stronger after every defeat, and rolls back the
tide cf bsiile upon its enemies with resistless
strength. And so it is doiDg this year. In Maine
the S:ate election took place on Monday last, and
behold the result. The Democrats have swept
the State like a whirlwind. Both branches of
the legislature are largely Democrats, aud will
elect & Democratic Governor, Sen
ate, House of Representatives, and a majority
of the looal officers, all are Democratic !.! And
the legislature, it is said, is strongly anti Main©
law. Such is the judgment of the people of
tha* cc-Me Stale. 1 a'epile cf tho coalition of K.
N.'s, Whigs. Aboliii-'niais and Republicans,
Maine ia redeemed, and i~ ouce more in the De
mocratic ranks.
And new !ct us sum op the result of elections
thus far this year. Maine has given us a rous
ing Democratic victory. Virginia gave a Demo
oatic majority of teu thousand. North Carolina
eleoied a Democratic Governor and legislature.
Alabama gave a strong Democratic majority.
Teuueyet’c elected a Democratic Governor aod
legislMure ; auJ Texi« went “ all hollow ” for
our b> avc ell party. I q some counties of Io *a,
tint l*at year went again'*? ua by large majori
ties, have come up Democratic again. In Illi
nois ihere was but one State officer to elect —an
Auditor—and the Democra'io candidate was
elected by a decided majority.
Suoh are tbo Democratio triamphs of this
year thus far: and who can doubt that tbo
Democrats will carry Pennsylvania and Ohio in
October ? There can be scarce a doubt of it In
the mind of any sensible man.
Let our Democratic friends be of good cheer ;
oar perty is tbo tramp again. Good omens cheer
us from all quarters, and every week, and nearly
every day we have to record a glorious viotory.
It is cheering, too, to note tho earnestness with
which Democrats torn out and labor for their
oause. 80 large a vote was never before cast in
M*ine as this year. Over ninety-two thousand
voters were out; and that none staid
at homo. Thus it ever our party. When
all goes well, our voters £et careless and indif
ferent, and we Buffer defeat. That rouses the
Demooraoy again, and at the very next eleotion
they rally and sweep all before them.
But we have not yet told all our triumphs this
year. Florida, South Carolina and Arkansas
must be added to the list of States that have
already pp.ken out for the Democracy. We
shall within six weeks be called on to add sever
al more States to the list ; and we have no doubt
Pennsylvania and Ohio will be of the number.
We can easily elect Arnold Plumer Canal Com
missioner; and in Ohio, with tbreo parties in
the field, the eleotion of a Democratio Governor
is rendered almost certain.
It would appear that tbo Democracy every
where are aware of that high duty this year
which Gen. Cass so eloquently urges In his late
letter. We append tho concluding paragraph
of that letter, and commend it to our readers.
Hero it is:
•* I have never known the timo when the Dem
ocratic party was called upon by higher consid
erations to adhere, faithfully and zealously, to
thoir organization and their principles than they
are at this day. Our confederation is passing
through tho most severe trial that it has yet
undergone. Unocasiog efforts are making to
excite hostile and sectional feelings, against
which we were prophetioally warned by the
Father of hie Country, and if these are success
ful, the days of this constitution are numbered.
The contiuued assaults upon the South, upon
its charaoter, its constitutional rights, and its
institutions, auj the systemat:c perseverance
and the bitter ep’.rit with which theso are pur
sued, while they warn the democratic party of
the danger, should also incite it to united and
vigorous action. They warn it, too, that the
time has come when all differences which may
have divided it should givo away to the duty of
defending the constitution, end when that great
party, coeval with the government, should be
united as one mau for the ncoomplUhmcnt of
the work to winch it is now oallcd, and bofore
it is too late. It is the American party, for it
has neither sectional prejudices nor sectional
preferences, and its care and its efforts extend
wherever the constitution of the oouniry ex
tends, with equal regard to the rights and in
terests of ail. I believe the fate of this great
republio is uow in its hands, and, so believing,
1 earnestly hope that its aotion will be firm,
prompt, and united, yielding not one hair’s
breadth of its lime-honored principles, and re
sisting to the last tho d&ngeroas efforftrwith
whioh we are menaced; and, if so, the victory
of the constitution, I doubt not, will be achiev
ed. "
Ml&lne l Maine I !
Oh, have you heard the neWg from Maine,
Good newt* and lj~ut l
The very latest news from this gallant State,
whioh for a while strayed from the path of rec
titade, oonfirms the defeat of the Know-Nothing
Maine Law Republicans. The Demoorats have
a largo majority in both branches of the Legis
lature, upon whioh will devolve the eleotion of
not only a Governor, bat also a United States
Senator.
THE JOURNAL ANSWERED
The Journal of this oity wants to know
where we get|our authority for saying that Atchi
son, Stringfellow, Whitfield & Co., who are la
boring so desperately to establish slavery in
Kansas, were Know-Nothings. We answer from
the Bt. Lonis Democrat, and several other well
informed sources. We ad[d below an oxtraot
from the Democrat on that snhjoot.
And now, Mr. Journal man, do you expect to
esoape by saying that they were “ Southern
Know Nothings ?” And when toe speak of a dif
ference of opinion on the subject of slavery be
tween Northern and Southern Democrats, do
you not pretend to soont the idea? Do you oot
oharge the whole Demooratio party with being
pro slavery because its Southern wing is so ?
How then does it beoome you to make a distiuc
liflu between Northern and Southern K. N.’s ?
Who will believe your report with suofi oontra
diotioas everywhere apparent in your paper ?
The fact la, there is a difference between
Northern and Southern K. N.’s, and North
ern and Southern Democrats. Neither of thoso
parties in the North aro pro-slavery, and every
sensible man admits it. There Mr. Journal, tot
have stated the truth fairly. Can you have the
magcanlmity to do the same just for onoo Or
will yon persist in the base and scnsoleee false
hood that the Democracy of the North arc pro
slavery v But it is useloss to expeot fair deal
ing from that quarter, 60 wo will ask no ques
tions.
But northern K. N.'s aro not wholly clear of
tbe blame of Ibis Kansas fraud. It was they
who taught tho K. N.’s of the Bouth how to ac
complish the fraud by sooret machinery A
tho same time northern Democrats have cause
for some regret ii that matter. A northern
man, lately a Democrat, is sent out to Bucoeed
Reeder as Governor ; aud bo declares for slave
ry in Kansas. He is undoubtedly a K. N. too,
—a Know Nothing both naturally and politically.
The President has been deceived in him.
But here is the extract from the 8L Louis
Democrat , of September 7th :
“ It will be seen, from tho report of our Kan
sas correspondent, that this individual (Whitfield)
has received the n. Nothing pro slavery nomina
tion for Congress in that territory. Tins is what
we expected, both from tbe circumstances and
the man. Formerly General Whitfield was a
atroDg Benton democrat in Missouri, aud de
nounced the nulliflera, with Atchison at their
head, as budly os any. When the administra
tion, however, undertook to ignore thederaoora
tio parly of Missouri, and bolster up the oause
of Atchison, Gcu. Whitfield at once deserted to
what he thought the strong side. He was sub
sequently elected dcVg&u- to Congress from
Kansas ns a national democrat, und as such
took his seat in the last Congress.
“But suddenly a chango ooourred. Atchison
aud his ooufreres had joined the Know Noth
ings, and it became necessary for General Whit
field either to go tho full length with them, or
else go overboard. Wo do him the justice to
say that be hesitated for sometime before he de
termined ou tho latter step ; but tbe temptation
was too stroDg for him, and he has finally left
the aiministrition party and accepted a Know
Nothing nomination. In this last movement,
we have reason to know mat ho was apprised in
advance that if he would remain true to his
democratic position, be would receive tho sup
port and nomination of the demooratio conven
tion soon to assemble , but, after carefully bal
ancing the chances, he has seen proper to pre
fer the support of th.* Dark Lantern League.
This it is well to expose at once, aud we take
occasion to do so immediately upon the reoeipt
of the news of his nomination, in order th it the
democracy may know where to place him in the
future. Thc-so who feel sufficient interest in
this matter, can refer tu his speech given on our
first page to Jay, and they will there find con
firmation of all wo have said. He repudiates
the democracy, and they will uot be slow to re
pudiate him likewise.”
It will be understood, of course, that the
Democrat is not friendly to Gen. Pierce’s admin-'
Letration, and its remarks io relation to that are
thus accounted for.
An Imperial 11 Dodge.’
Tiie Emperor of the French is as great on
aa Vr Phineas T. Barnum. For in
stance : Daring the stay of perfidious Albion’s
Qaeen at Palis he accompanied her on a vigil to
iho tomb of her “ prest ancestor,” James the
Second—a gentleman who “ left ‘ ia country for
his country’s good ” about tho year 1 GS3. While
there His Imperial Majesty, '• either by accident
or design” caught sight of a VoUigeur of the
Imperial Guard, who had lost bis leg before Se
bastopol and had otherwise been severely wound
ed. Tbo still suffering soldier was making hie
way forward on orutchcs when the Emperor ad
vanced to meet him, and, takiffe off the Cross of
the Legion of Honor which ho wore, transferred
it to the poor fellow’s breast. ‘-All who wit
nessed the occurrence," fays the aooount,
deeply affected—and none more so thrn the per
son dcoorated."
Black Spirits and Whits.— The Liborty party
Btate Convention of New York assembled in Utica
on the 12th inst., on whioh occasion some twenty
delegates, white and black, wero present. The
following speckled tioket was put in nomination :
Secretary of State— Fred. Douglass, (oolored.)
of Monroe
Comptroller —Lewis T&ppan, (white,) of Now
York.
State Treasurer— James C. Delong, (white,) of
Oneida.
Attorney General —J B. Vashon, (colored,) * f
Cortland.
Canal Commissioner—}\t. Smith, (white,) of
Jefferson.
State Prison Inspector —Geo. W Clark, (white.)
of Monroe.
Judges of the Court of JipptaU —B. Green, of
Oneida, and Wm. Goodell, (white,) of Kings.
Gerritt Smith presented a brief address, whioh
was adopted. A series of resolutions were also
passed.
Mr. Vashon was formerly a resident of this
city, and left, we believe, because of the preju
dice against his oolor. If the Republican party
triumph, he may return and expeot to have jus
tloo done him. Should Passmore Williamson be
elected Canal Commissioner, he will stand a good
obance for the suooession. Let our colored
friends look sharp. The Republican parly is
bound to work out their salvation.
Coen—Who can bBat it ? — We were presen
ted yesterday by John U Phillips, Esq , of Rob
inson township, Allegheny county, a clu-tcr of
nine oars of corn, grown from a single blossom-
The ears are from five to Bix inches long. The
oentre ear around which the other eight oluster
is of ordinary size, with eight rows of kernels
of extraordinary size ; the remainder aro also
well filled. Besides tho above mentioned, the
B tock grew another ear of unusual tita. If any
body can beat this let him oomo along. Our
oorn orib is open to competitors.
Upon counting the kernels of oorn that grew
upon that stalk, and from a single seed, we find
about a thousand kernels. Think of that : A
thousand kernels from one.
Hear Yopno Carroll, John Carroll, Esq.,
the great-grandson of Charles Carroll, of Car
rollton, who is now running on the Democratic
anti-Know Nothing ticket in Howard county,
Maryland, mado his first Bpeeoh on Saturday
Ust at a meeting of both parties After speak
ing of the position of parties In the State and
tho coontry, ho declared to the Know Nothings:
‘• I am a Catholio ; but if you must proscribe,
do not commence npon so humble an individual
as myself. Go back to the past, and erase
from tho record of the Declaration of Indepen
dence the name of my anoeetor, and the com
panion of yonr forefathers, Charles Carroll, of
Carrollton.”
The Raeor Btbop Man —Smith, the'Raior
Strop Man, is a spiritual medium. He reoently
attended a pio-nio, where the spirits took posses
sion of him and obliged him to perform ail kinds
of antios, and play the buffoon to perfeofion. He
says he couldn’t help doing it There are “ a
few mors left of the same sort."
The Democratic Rational Convention.
As some of oar cotemporaries seem to be in
doabt as to the manner in which the next Demo
cratic National Convention is to be constituted,
we publish the following resolutions of the last
Democratic National Convention at Baltimore,
for'general information:
11 Resolved, That the next Democratic Na
tional Convention be held at Cincinnati, in the
State of Ohio.
“ Resolved, That in constituting future Na
tional Conventions of the Democratic party, in
order to secure the rospeotive rights of the States
to their relativo representation in such conven
tions, each Btate shall be entitled to twioe
the nambar of delegates that It has votes in the
electoral oollege, and no more; and that the
Demooratio national oommittee, in making ar
rangements for the next National Convention,
provide suoh number of seats therein for each
State, and seoure the samo to the delegates
elect.
“ Resolved, That the time of holding the next
convention be designated by the Demooratio na
tional oommittee; and that, in their oall, tho
above resolutions be inserted as the rule for
choosing delegates.”
For the Pittsburgh Post]
TWADDLE.
Tho puny whistle of the Know Nothing gentry
in this city, holds the following language :
It is not true that the American Party holds
the doctrine that a religious test for ofiioe should
be established by either law or Constitution.
They hold the doctrino that the aggressive polioy
and the corrupting tendencies of the Homan
Catholic Church ought to be resisted, and they
will not vote for Roman Catholics, beoaose they
are the enemies of political and religious liberty.
Protostant oitizens do not trust them, because
“ tboy hold no faith with heretios.” The Re
public should not trust them, because they are
entirely under the influence of their clergy, and
thus they are bound by a Foreign allegiance.
No religious test, none at all—only that Cath
olics must not be permitted to hold offioe and
shall not be voted for by tho party, whioh Impu
dently asserts with the same breath that no re
ligions teat is desired by tho Amerioan Party.
For downright and upright coolness, we have
not reoontly seen the above oxtraot exoeeded.
We wish to see it preserved.
Look on this Picture —At the battle of
Tchernaya the Allies won another “famous vic
tory " —the Russians losing nearly eight thou
sand ’n killed and wounded, while thoir loss
was scarcely haif that number. But to show at
what an extravagant prioe this kind of glory is
purchased by the belligerents, wo give tho fol
lowing 01 0 6iug paragraph from a graphic de
scription of tho battle :
The Russian guns returned only for a moment
uuder cover, and soon after you oould see a bril
liant lino of cavalry debouohiog from the rising
ground, whero it had been hitherto hidden. 1
oould dist:nguish five regiments—three in one
line, and two other regiments on the flanks in
the 6i-conl line. They advanood at a gallop,
and wheeling round, allowed 12 guns to pass,
which again openod their Are, but only for a
short tim-, and at half-past d or 10 o’clock the
dust on the Mackenzie road and the blaok lines
moving off were the only traoes whioh remained
of tho bo long threatened attack of the Rus
sians Nothiug now remained but to visit tho
field of battle, on whioh the Zouaves had alrea
dy Jcsceu-.'.l 1; ko vulture**, and wero removing
everything portable. Tho eoone which present
cd itself on the tank of tho river, below the
canal, was something fearful beyond description,
much more tearful than tho ordinary horrors of
a battle field Tho canal itself was ohoked with
dead, most of whom doubtless bad fallen into it
living, after rolling down the hill side, and found
repose in its muddy waters ; broken muskets,
bags of t read, cartridges, one dark stain on tho
white gravel, often alone marked the spot where
the men first fell On towards tho bridgo the
dead lay thicker. On tho banka of the river
t»buu: it, and iu the river itself, they were ‘heap
ed and pde.l —mostly fine men, in the prime of
life many with n eieitr grognard air, which be
spoke long years of servioo. Nearly every one
had a brandy bottle, cither actually in his bauds,
or iying near him. or broken und;r him in his
fall.
Baltimobe as d Ohio Railroad —Tbe re
ooipta cf this road, inclndcg the Washington
Branch, is ->351.8J4.20 against $830,135.01 las 1
year This is about one fourth tbo inorease of
tbe Peoasylvaola Central—tbe latter being bat
little over 800 raiios in length, while the Balti
more anJ Ohio including the Washington Branoh
is considerably over 400 miles The falllog in of
a large tunnel on tbe Ohio Central, one of tbe
principal oouncotions of the Baltimore and Ohio
road, will probably impair the receipts consid
erably for a month or two to come. By this dia •
aster freight is deiayeJ twenty four hours and
passengers one fourth that time.
Hkayt Damages —The Sandusky Commercia
Rtgxiitr learns that in tbe oase of Barber va
Mad River and Lake Erie Railroad—for dama
ges sustained while in the employ of the Compa
ny as oondnotor of a freight train—the jury re
turned a verJiot of $'J.6OO for plaintiff. The trial
came off in the District Court of Seneoa ooanty.
Thr Nominations — To-day we are told the
K. N.'s make their nominations in this county,
and by Monday evening we shall probably know
all about it. Wo shall then have all the parties
in the field . and tbe battle is evidently going to
b a warm one.
Ws aro indebted to W. A. Qildenfenney & Co.,
Fifth street, opposite the Theatre, for a neat

Charles Dickens, whioh is a sufficient endorse

Four men, named Allison, Maples (two), and
Campbell, have been arrested at Cleveland,

Pretty Steep — The New York Weekly Tribun t
has raised its price for advertising to seventy-

Si’spknsb Amono U. 8 Naval Officers — lt
has already been anoounoed that the President
has signed the roport of tbe Board of Offloere,
appointed under an act of the last Congress, to
retire certain officers from servioo in the Navy.
It is said there are. in all, about 700 officers, and
those adjudged will be informed of their doom
privately, and by mail. The reader may well
imagine the anxiety of those gentleman as they
reoeivo and open their letters from Washington.
Tbe throe grades of decision are the “ Retire i,”
tbo “ Farlougbed,” and the “ Dismissed.” The
Retired” are adequately provided for, and re
oeivo the samo salaries that they have been in
the habit of receiving when not on daty ; a Cap
tain, for example, $2600 a yoar. The “Furlough
ed ” of the same grade will receive but twelve
bondred and fifty dollars a year; and the “Dis
missed ” nothing at all.
Couldn't Remember.— A noted Hindoo ora
tor of this village, was addressing Council, No.
202, a few evenings sinoe, and as usual, lashed
himself into a terrible fury against William H.
Seward. “Seward,” said ho, “is a scoundrel
—a villain—a traitor—he’s in league with the
Pope—he's no American—he's as treacherous
as—as—as —(the speaker soratohedhis head,) as
treacherous as — Gentlemen, what tn A— ll tcaj the

A Short Cut to Metaphysios— According to

“Never mind.” “ What is mind ?” “No mat

Messrs. Shepherds & Holy bate disposed of their
entire right, title and interost in the oelebrated
“Mosquito Grant!” to me for $500,000, and I
shall proooed nt onoe to Invite that emigration
whioh is needed for the development of its un
cqualed resources. There are three hundred
miles of sea-board belonging to it, atid further
book an elevated table land, healthy in climate
and oapable of producing every staple of tho
tropio or temperate zones. Bugar, ooffee, tobno
oo, coobineal, aro prodaoed in abundance, in ad
dition to the substantial supplies of ootton and
grain required by the exigencies of r largo pop
ulation. Muoh of tho land in tho interior 0.-

the navigable highway of inter-oceanic com
moroe, whenoe produce oan be shipped, without
change of transportation, to any portion of the
globe.
1 need not Bay anything of the mining re
sources. The old Californians who have la ely
been up there, say they are the best in tho world,
and a largo accession is looked for from their
Stato. The ooal of Boca del Toro, towards thi*
southern boundary, whioh has boon opened cf
late, is so situated, on account of tho deep water,
that steamships of the largest class can come
alongside and load up without further trouble.
1 hope, therefore, that you and your friends
may be early upon tho ground, to sh-.re in the
prospective advantages of this vast addition to
the field of American enterprise.
Excuse the haste with which this is written,
and believe me truly your friend,
On Friday afternoon, os a freight train was on
its way from Boston to Albany, on the Western
Railroad, when about a mile from Greecbash,
one of the cars took fire. There being no water
near, and the car beiog fided with merchandize,
they hastened oa to Greenburh, (where the fUmes
were extinguished, after having burned the en
tire roof of the oar off; and so curiously bad
thd fire burned around all tho oorners, that the
sides fell out bodily, though, wi h the exception
of the edges, they were scarcely scorched. Af
ter unloading the freight, several cases marked
“ Dry Goods,” were broken open, in order to
prevent their contents being further damaged,
and were found to bt filled (with tho exception cf
jaat enough dry goods to prevent the kegs from
rattling,) with qunpowdak ! There were some
thirty persons assisting on the occasion in ex
lineuishing the fire and unloading the goods
When the fire was extinguised, it had reached
within three or four inches of the powder, g-.mc
of the boxes being slightly scorched and under
these oiroumßtanoea, had tho train been com
pellod to run three miles, instead of one, the
result must have been fearful. It is one of the
rules of the Railroad company, that no powder
shall be transported ever the road, and they
honestly took the freight, as it was marked, fur
" Dry Goods, ” and the employees of the rood
and the property of the company were those
most endangered. The shippers should be ex
posed and punished; and the Bostou Times,
while speaking with just indignatiou cf the out
rage, intimates that this will be Jon r

the Hew York City Polka Buy
of Dr. M’LANE’S CELEBRATED VERMIFUGE.
New York, August 25,1852.
Thi< ie to certify that I am well acquainted with a man
fifty years of age, for many yean a resident of this city,
who has been et times extremely ill, bat could not tell
from what cause, unless it was worms. He told his attend*
log physician his suspicions, but the physician at once
ridiculed the idea, and refused to attend him any longer.
His son then mentioned Dr. M’Lane’s Vermifuge, and
asked him If he woul’ take It; hia reply was—l must take
something to get relief, or die.
They at once procured a bottle of Dr. M'Lanefs celebrated
Vermifuge, aud took one-half at one dose. The reaultwss
he passed upwards of three quarts of toormi, cut up In
every form. lie got welt Immediately, and Is nowenjoying
most excellent health; and, like the good Samaritan of
old, is endeavoring to relieve his unfortunate neighbors.
He make? it bis business to hunt op and select cases simi
lar to his own, that may be given over by tbe regular phy
sicians, and induces them to try Dr. M’Lane’s Vermifuge,
and in every case with tbe most happy results. He is well
satisfied that Dr. M’Lane’s Vermifuge is far superior to any
known remedy, and that if more generally known, would
not fail to ssto many valuable lives. For particulars, in.
quire of Mrs. H&rdie, XU l A Cannon street, New York City.
P B.—The above valuable remedy, also Dr. M’Lane’s cel
celebrated Liver Pills, oan now be bad at all tbe respectable
Drag Stores in this city.
Purchasers will please be careful toask for, and take none
but Dr. M’Laoe’s Vermifuge. All others, in comparison,
are worthies J.
