There is not ono of these gentlemen who dose
not in his heart know that a purslane()
in silence upon a greet principle in this
State is the assured herald of calamities to
our political household, while to march for
ward and occupy the ground from which the
Administration has so ehatnofuliy retreated, is
to crown our aorta in 1860 With the glory that
always result:firm the united action of a body
of men standing upon troth and fearlees in the
assertion of their convictions. • Let, the peo
ple keep their eyes npQn these leaders. They
are among the captains In the coming battle.
The most of them are disinterested Demo
crate : let no see whether they are willing to bo
warned by the indications of the thrice, or
whether'they - are ready :to yield to the do
mands'of a repudiated and dishonored Ad
ministration. These are not the counsels of
revenge., Speaking for onrselves, we have no
revenge to - satiate, no personal objects to
'accomplish. If we have never before had
any reason to be, gratefhl to Mr. BOOHANAN
for' ny thing, we publicly avow that we have.
such reason now, in the foot that he has enabled
nit to assert our' individuality in defence of a
good cane, and to maintain it, irrespective, of,
and in defiance of his patronage and his pro
scriptions. Nor do we speak for any Presi•
denttal candidate ; we have our preferences as
other men have, but we stand willing and
eager to yield them, if In doing so we can, aid
In the consolidation of the Democratic party
upon a righteous and an imperishable Princi
ple. Nor do we demand of our friends any
violent assault upon the Administration of the
General Government.
-The Administration is
effete, rapidly, rotting into the past=powerfhl
only for mischief, it Is true, and only:then
when lifted from its degradation by those who
desire to pluck from its carcass the Means Of
temporary subsistence.. What is demanded of
the Democratic party is the assertion of some'
etich resolutions as the following in all their
township,, county, and State Conventions—.
resolutions, be it remarked, that are being
adopted hi nearly all the other free States of
this Union, and in the name and under the in
spiration of which 'the legions of the Demo.
°racy are forgetting their dissensions, closing
tip their columns, and preparing -for the con.:
mat of next year :
Resolved, That the Government of the United
States should net force the institution of slavery
upon the Territories against the will of the people
thereof, but that the people of each Territory
should be allowed to determine for themselves,
without the interposition of Congress, and subisot
only to the Cenatitution of the United State,.
Resolved, " That this doctrine is founded upon
principles as ancient- as free government itself,
and, in accordance with them, simply deolares
that the people of a Territory, lips those. of a
State, shall decide for themselves whether slavery
shall or shall not exist within their limits."
Resolved, That the new doctrine, that the Con
stitution confers the right of holding slaves in the
Territories, in defiance of the wishes of the people
'thereof, and that Congress should enact 'laws
giving slave property -higher rights than other
property therein,' is a wide.deperture from these
principles, and would render the Democratic par
tyjustly obnoxious to the charge of deception and
dishonesty.
When this 'is done, all is done. Praise of
the 'Administration, in such a connection,
mild be the wildest of self-stultification. It
would be like crowning a marble Corinthian
column with an effigy .carved by an idiot, or
like hanging a wreath of poisonous flowers
upon the trunk of a 'ripe and healthy tree.
The charity of silence is, all that menm
co
n•
of such crimes have any right to ask at
the hands of those they have betrayed.
False Reports.
Last week, a paragraph was included in the
European news, received over the wires, from
the Associated Press, to the effect that the
Duke of aminainoa, QUeettirto4ollLeg con;
sin' and donamander-in-Chief of the British
Army, was to tie ffisnitased from his high office.
on a proven charge of having keen Implicated
in the illegal and surreptitious disposalof mil
itary commissions—in fact; of having pocket
ed money by selling Erich commissions to mt•
worthy and unqualified persona.
Ever since, we have carefully examined the
files of English journals received at this office,
Tad:loaf havinihien able to discover In titian
one Syllable In the slighteat dogree alluding to

bar of the lferuiste.ddvertiser-44 gin-and

beer-shops;in which alone it has either dreg
latter, or inffitencp., .°4hat fournlil is known, in
England, by the appropriate name of it The
Tap llth." Itgot'up this rumor; milt has got
up Lanny. others, solely and wholly, we are
certain; to get quoted in the resume of Eng.
Irish news, communicated to the American
public preen by the Associated Press. In
this Initance, however, the Aqociated Press
