"THE WAR.
The news from the -seat of war is highly
' important, though it does not appear that
any further decided battle had taken place.
' It really would almost seem as if the Aus
-1 trians were showing the white feather as
well as wearing the white uniform. They
have abandoned Pivia, Paeenza, Lodi,
1 Cremona.and other places which they occu
pied. They blew up the fortifications of
Piacenza on abandoning that city. The
telegraphic report also mentions that they
had acquitted Ancona. This mny be a
' mistake in the name, for Ancona is a sea
port belonging to the Pope, and is entirely
out of the line of the present war. It was
garrisoned, we believe, by the Austrians,
on the first alarm of war, and it is probable
that ihey have retired now, from sheer ina
bility to maintain such an insolate position.
It would appear that the Au-trians are
collecting their force towards their strong
holds, Mantua and 'Verona. This' will also
bring them nearer to Venice, and allow
them, at a push, to take a strong position in
the Tyrol. But this would no less bo an
admission ol defeat, becauso it would sur
render Loinbardy to the Allies. It wouhl
not surprise us to ioarn, in the course of the
present week, of a great battle having been
fought on the plateau or fiat country be
tween Mantua and Verona—the former city
is very strongly fortified.
From England the main news is that tire
Derby ministry have resigned. The Queen
has been compelled, it seems, to accept
Lord Palmerston as Premier. He has fol
lowed Dogberry's plan, Of favoring " the
most desartless man," by making Lord John
Russell his Foreign Secretary. One would
have thought that after Lord John's misera
ble diplomatic failure, in his unfortunate
Mission to Vienna, during the Crimean
War, that he had got quite enough of med
dling with foreign affairs, of which he is re
markably ignorant. His I.ordsbip would
under take to act as commander-in chief of
a fighting army, with the same confidence
which now emboldens him to take the For
eign portfolio.
We refer our readers to the summary of
the telegraphic news by the Bremen which
appears in at.other column.

WAEN TIIKV APPLV FAIR ADMISSION AS STATUS
INTO THE UNION."
This was sound doctrine then (in°!B4B,)
and it is still aml'tnusl ever continue sound,
so long as the Constitution remains un
changed, for it is the only doctrine on tbis
subject consistent with the Constitution. It
is the doctrine of tbe compromise measures
of 1850',0f tlie Kansas-Nebraskauct ol 1554,
of the National Conventions of '62 and '66,
of President Buchanan's Inaugural address,
Silliman's letter and messages, and of the
National Democracy of the whole country.
These views of President Polk are in
perfect harmony with those of Henry Clay
aud his colleagues in the Senate of 1850, as
expressed in their Report on this subject, as
follows :
'"The true principle Which ought to regu
late the Act of Congress in forming a Terri
torial Government fOr'e&ch newly acquired
domath, is to retrain from all legislation on
the subject of slavery in tire territory ac
quired, so long us it retains the Territorial
form of government, leaving it to the peo
ple of such territory, WHEN THEY HAVE AT
TAINED TO SUCH A CONDITION WHICH ENTLTLKS
THEM TO ADMISSION AS A STATE, to decide tor
themselves the question of allowance or
prohibition ol domestic slavery."
From all this, in connection tri.h the de
cisions of the Supreme Court, substantial
ly covering the same point, there is no
room for doubt as to what is the true Con
stitutional, National, and Democratic doc
trine, in TelHtion to the lime'icAeii the . peo
ple of a Territory can, legally and properly,
decide the question whether the institution
of Slavery shall or shall not exist among
them. It may not suit higlier-lnw and squat
ter sovereign demagogues ; but it will be
maintained by all who have patriotism
enough to stand firmly by the Constitution
in all its parts as llto great sheet anchor of
our Union.

Dictator.
The King ofSardinia has issued an order
of the day extolling Garibaldi's deeds-of!

of military order. On the 12th inst. Nopo- j
leon moved his headquarters to Gorgozoli. j
The Austrians wore evacuating Modeni, j
and were in full retreat towards the river!
Oglio.
An official announcement appears iu the ,

DISTANCE REGISTERED.—A very simple j
i contrivance was shown us on Saturday,
! whereby the distance traveled in a carriage
or wagon may be accurately registered. It
is about the size of a small watch, attached
to the face of a hub band, and works some
what similar to a gas metre, registering dis
tance, by miles, as correctly as the latter
does the gas, by feet. This invention is
most desirable to livery stable men, whose
establishments are often driven miles be
yond the distance paid for. We understand
that these bands, with registers attached,
costs no more than the old-fashioned ones.

Arrival from the Mijies—Favorable Reports
CoMratl idled.
Mr. John agentlerflan known

reliable, arrived an this pity on tbe steamer
D. A. January, Friday evoning, 'just from
the mines, having made'the entire trip by
water, in the almost incredible short space
of time of fourteen days !
Mr. Scarbrough slates that the recent re
ports of the large amounts being mode in
Gregory diggings have been very much ex
aggerated. He knew of one company who
were making, with a sluice, us much us 810
per day to the man ; but there were hun
dreds of others who were not making
board.
At the time, he left, on llto 3d inst.,
j snow and ice in the motfnlains were three
or four feot deep. Snow fell out there on the
26th of May, and squnlls were comming up
in the mountains to the tibie of his leavirg.
Provisions wore very scarce. Bacon was
selling at 40 cents per pound. It was esti
mated that there were about two thousand
persons scattered over a district ol country
about forty miles in exlen'.
Mr. Scarbrough remained in the mines
for about a month, and finding that they
would hot pay, he and another gentleman
built a skiff which they launched at Denver
City, and in it they came down the Platto
j into tho Mr. S. stales that they
[ found the Bigf Platte to be one of the most
I crooked rivers on the continent, but it being

Democratic Tolicy.
; The policy ol the democratc parly has al
ways been that of consistency, fidelity, and
j uniformity. The shifting, changing scenes
j which have shaken and overthrown other
[ parties have only served to unite more firm
> ly in ihe prosecution of those measures
J which have advanced the interests and pro
' moled the welfare of the country. Demoe
; racy has progressed in ihe line of march
: with that dergee of facilty which the age
demanded, hut in principle and policy sub
stantially the same. Can this be said of
other parties which have striven for poiverf
and which have resorted to the foulest
means and most deceptious pretence for the
accomplishment of their designs 1 The an
swer is easily obtained. It requires no la
borious research or investigation to arrive
at the facts with the respedt to their trans
action, condemnation, detestation, abhorra
tion and overthrow. They have fallen be
cause they had no foundation whereon to
stand—no principles wherewith to unite in
every l effort, and no vital power, nerving
j action to withstand the convulsions of po
; litical life. Thus they have sprung into ex
istence, run well for tho time, but when the
! trial came they were unable to bear its in
j vestigation and scrutiny.
! But where, a'l this time, is the good old
democracy 1 In the field unawed and un
! molested by the surrounding elements.
'Democracy!—that confides in the people
j the power to regulate their own domestic
j affairs, that secures to every freeman the
undisputed, utitrampled right to tho exer
cise of the elective franchise—can never be
j overthrown by the contentions of sectional
| factions. Such is its mighty fabric, its ma
j jestic greatness, that it stands as a monu
ment of that struggle in which Our forefa
thers fought and shed their blood to secure
the 'rights, the liberties we now enjoy.
These the democracy lias and Will main
tain, notwithstanding the opposing Se'clional
parties. The bitterest partisan zeal must
give away before its peaceful, mild domin
ion, sectionalism cannot survive the shock,
the convulsions which its scheme instigates,
and which must return upon it With double
force ; but democracy, true to principles It
advocates, is enabled to stand firm aud un
changing. Advocating the rights of men, it
receives strength by its own action. This,
then is the parly for the young man to at
tach liimsell to. and the party for Ihe older
men to return to.
The opposition can claim no merii ol the
people. The course they have pursued is
enough to shatter their leeble constitution
and bury them in deep oblivion. A few
more years and the republican party, alike
those of its predecessors, will pass out of
existence and be numbered among the
things that were. Its doings will be known
only as a black spot on the pages of history.
At present there is no knowing where to
find its adherents; they have no standing,
fixed principles. Its triumphs have been
sectional, and in every instance disastrous
to the health, the morals, and the prosperi
ty of the Government. Tbe more power
they have been enabled to obtain the great
er the influence they have swayed against
the progress of governmental afi'airs, which
proves to demonstration that, had they the
full power, little else would be done except
to quarrel over the division of the spoils.
Uuder such circumstances, the Union would
be divided in piece- nteal—each being gov
erned by some petty prince, some otia as
suming the authority of a ruler.
Sucti, all must admit, would be the result
if sectionalism was permitted to triumph.
These are things worthy of the notice aud
the candid consideration of every voter.
Iho public good is a laudiblo theme for
emulation, and such is the emulation, of
the democracy, as shown by its acts and
practical working. We ask you to stop and
consider—think before you act.—There is a
vital importance aud great responsibility
connected with the act of voting, greater,
perhaps, than many of us are aware of, yet
it is fearfully true, chance nor lime can ef
face its efleets. It is indelibly fixed. Our
selves are not uloue the recipients, but pos
terity must share iu common with all the
generations following. He who would
transmit to posterity a worthy name, a
sound aud heally government, should scru
tinize closely the machinery oi government
aud the actions of ihediUbrenl parties claim
ing adherence thereto.

MURDER AND SUlClDE —Dunkirk, Juno 18.
This morning about 9 o'clock, the dead
bodies of Martin Sauter, his wife and only
child, were found in an upper room of the
emigrant house kept by Sauter on Buffalo
street. The wife's throat must have been
cnt while asleep in bed, causing almost in
stant death, the windpipe being almost sev
ered. The child, six years of age, was on
another bed, with her throat horribly man
gled. The body of Sauter was found in a
roclining position of the bod
stead on which the child lay. It is suppos
ed the deed was done some time in the
night, as the house was observed to be
closed tip to the time of the discovery. Sau
ter kept an emigrant boarding house, and
was connected by marriage with respecta
hie German families in town. The affair
creates intense excitement. The Coroner
is now holding an inquest. It is known that
the parties had not lived a pleasant life for
some time, but whether the deed was com
mitted under the inflnence of liquor, is not
krtowtl.

How TO MANAGE THE LITTLE ONES.— We
find in one of our exchanges the following
suggestions, in behalf of the little folks,
which are deserving of consideration. The
writer says, now that the warm weather has
come, let your children amuse themselves
out of doors. Don't keep them stint up
like houso plants, until they become as
pale and thin as ghosts. Strip off the finery r .
put on course garments, and turn them out'
to play in the sand—to make "mud cakes"
—to daub their faces with anything of ar.
"earthly nature," which will have a ten
dency to make them look as though they
had entered into a co-partnership with dirt.
Keep them in the house and they will soon
look like, and be of about as much value,
as a pytatoe which grows in the celler,palc,
puny, sickly, sentimental wrecks of humani
ty. Turn tliem out, we say, boys and grils,
and let them run, snuff the pure air, and be
happy. Who cares if they do get tanned ?
Leather must be tanned before if is fit for
use, and boys and girls must undergo a
hardening process, before lltey are qualified
to engage in the arduous duties of active
life.

Bound in Cloth, 3 o't iihii.
A tjood 1 11-(.ruction book for Hie Piano has
loifc I een wanting, and Mr CHARLES GIIOUK
tins performed the labor, in getting litis 01m
up in Ihe most admirable\andsatis/,ulory man
ner. Ii will prove itsell one ol the most
valuable guides in the instruction of the art
ol playining on the Piano.
Considering the anlbor'y well known cu
parily, Hlld long and lllirafpiltnng devotion
10 ihe task of elementary teaching, we have
wrong reason 10 hope, mm the public are
now 10 be furnished with a lliprougti, sys
tematic, progressive, and entertaining meth
od for the Piano.
We can confidently recommend it 10
teachers and pupils as better adapted to Ihe
purpasos of elHtnenlar)r instrhotinn than any
others with which we are acquainted.
The plan pursued in this work is substan
tially the same as that .developed in Olleu
drnff's method of teaching languages, It
commences with the simplest elements.—
The progress made will be gradual, so that
every step will be perfectly ineligible, and
be rendered of positive value to the pupil.—
Every difficulty is met with single, all draf
ter thorough analysis, overcome by practice.
This method will, undonhtetlly, provide
teachers witn a vyell digested, progressive,
and eninrtairig plan by which a sound and
correct knowledge of the art of playing Ihe
piano may be acquired with comparatively
little labor, and in so short a space of lime
as will almost seem incredible 10 those who
-have confined themselves 10 some ol the te
dious systems heretofore in use.
This work contains ten engraved figures,
illustrating the different positions of the
hande ami fingers ; and also a likeness of
the author.
Its typographical accuracy and appear
ance have never been equalled in any mu
sical work that has heretofore been issued
from the press in ibis or any other country.
Copies will be sent by mail, free of post
age, on the receipt of the matked price.
