THE DEMOCRATIC MEETINGS To-day, between the hours of four and seven o'clock, the Democrats of the several I wards of the city will hold their primary meetings for the election of delegates to I meet in' convention on Tuesday next, to nominate candidates tor Mayor, City Con troller and City Treasurer, for the coming two years. Our opponents, who are largely in the majority, have been unable to agree among themselves upon a candidate for Mayor, and this gives the Democracy a chance to fill the office with a man from our own ranks: Within the' last ten or fif teen years, the Democrats have had but two Mayors, Hon. John B. Guthrie and Hon. William Kerr. The citixens of Pitts burgh look back to the municipal adminis tration of these gentlemen with pride and pleasure. We venture to say that the af fairs of the city were never better managed than under these gentlemen. We have now a.nothei chance of giving to the city the bles sing of a Democratic administration. Let us go into the work with a determination to succeed. Let a fair and full expression of the wishes of the Democratic party of the city be given to-day. Between the several competent and very worthy gentlemen in the field for nomination, let the majority of Democratic voters decide, and then let the party, with a united energy, go in and elect him. We hope it will be recollected that the meetings to be held to-day are Dentocrahe meetings, and that no friend of any candi date will ask from the election officers the reception of a vote which is not known to be a Democratic one. The members of the party aie surely able to decide for them selves who shall be their nominee, and it. is an evidence of weakness rather than strength for any oneto seek to obtain - either N :t influence or votes outside the party ranks ecure a nomination. Tlitcqy executive'committee have done their dut - Yekn . designating the time and the places for lialding the primary elections. It, now remains for the rank-and-file of the party to dotheirs. DEATH OF HON. LINN BOYD. Private despatches to St. Louis and Cin cinnati announce the death, at his residence in Kentucky, of Hon. Linn Boyd. He W 11.9 one of the leading Democratic statesmen of the day, and in his demise the country has lost an upright, honest man. He was lawn in Nashville, Tennessee, Nov. V., 1800. His early advantages were limited, but on arriving at man's estate he entered into politics, and from 1827 to 1831 was a member of the Legislature of his native State. He was a Representative of Congress from 1835 to 1837, from 1839 to 1847 and again from 1847 to 1855. During the Thirty First Congress he was chairman of the Oinumittee on Territories, and during his laatterm in C,ortgress occupied the chair of the Speaker of the Ifoiise of Representa tive: Throughout his whole career he labored faithfully and honestly for his constituents, and retired from the 'Legislative Halls of his country with ahigh reputation. Duda - Ithe latter years of his life Mr. Boyd has resided in Kentucky where he has ever been most highly esteemed and honor ed. He was at one time within a few votes of being the nominee for Governor,ind also for United States Senator, and at the time of his death was Lieutenant Governor of the State, although his long continued ill health had prevented him from entering upon the 'duties of the office to which he was umnimously nominated by his party and triumphantly elected by the people. Commencing life with acentury remarka ble for its rapid progress in the arts of civili zation, he was a man who kept up with the spirit of the age, in which he lived, and which has developed the power and natural talent of many such men as he. In Pennsylvania he had hosts of sincere and warm hearted friends, who deeply mourn his death, and tender their sad sym pathies-to his widow, who is oneof Pennsyl vania's true hearted and most accomplished -daughters. FOREIGN NEWS The foreign news by the recent arrivals, al though not of considerable political, import alleet is -ACM interesting. From Compeigno, France, we have minute and exciting reports of the' imperial sports pursued there during the Emperor's late visit, with a full account of the royal mtriage. The description of the chateau, its guests, the arrangements and busi ness pursuits, is full of interest. England's sudden change of opinion as to the mode of her representation in the European Congress had disappointed Napoleon. From Berlin we learn that Prussia will propose to the Con gress an important alteration of maratime law in case of war, so as to secure all property—except contrabands of war—from seizure by hostile ships; in fact an elab oration of the proposition made by Mr. .Mar cy in 1856 to the Conference of Paris. It was thought that England suggested the idea, fear ing her inability to protect her merchant traf fic in case of war with France, now so pow erful in her steam navy. `organization of the Hones. - .;,„obetacle to the organization of the red- The•plurality rule, under : - .7Apposed that the House could be Thereis a ma ' "•! it be adopted, • - 4.,-under it, INZIESEI GOV. BLACK'S MESSAGE. We have received the Omaha Nchrasiciart of December 10th; containing Gov. Black's . - message, to _which we alluded some days DEC 22 ago. It is. an elaborate and well written State paper, treating of all the topics of im portance and interest in the governmental affairs in tho territory in a plain and states manlike manner. The Governor, among other things, warmly urges upon the Legisla ture to take measures for the immediate ap plication of Nebraska for admission into the Union. He admits that she does not possess, at the present,sufficient population to entitle her to a Representative under the existing ratio of 93,42.3, but he enters into an elab . orate argument to prove that this is no le_ gal, barrier to her admission,and cites the ex ample of Florida and Arkansas. The pres ent political complexion of the territory is decidedly Democratic. Of the thirty-nine members of the lower branch of the Legis lature, twenty-five are Democrats. in the Council there are but two Republicans. In a portion of his message ho treats in an appropriate manner of inaccuracies and misrepresentations of history in regard to the territory. He corrects prejudicial re ports which have circulated about its soil, climate and productions. He recommends such reforms as the ne cessities of the people require, and as will result in the general good.. He favors a homestead exemption— a usury law, and that real estate should be made the chie basis of revenue. The subject. of a State organization for Nebraska is &ready under consideration in the Legislature and will doubtless receive the sanction of both House and Council. NOT A CANDIDATE. We aro requested to state that Mr. Alexan der Hunter is not a candidate for the office o City Controller before the Democratic Convon Lion. The Value of Humau Life One of the things, in all nature, the most difficult to form any estimate of is the val ue of a humus life, and yet there appears to be a springing up, in the minds of a few extremists, both North and South, a reck lessness as to its value &Willy, alarming.— This was one of the most marked features of the crime for which John Brown suffer ed. Twenty years ago many of the extrem ists to which ho belonged were ultra peace men. All war was wrong. Even to in flict punishment on a truant school-boy was wrong—no violence was their gospel. There are more lives lost throughout the country at this time, through carelessness, wanton ness or revenge, than would suffice a popula tion ten times as large in a country like England. Our railroads and steamboats take life by wholesale, through recklessness, and to save a little money in construction or caw in watchfulness. Duels prevail. Murders from drunken brawls, and murder ! for love of gain, and murders from deliber ate revenge, have been increasing fast enough. But if, in addition to all this, we are to have political murders, and even re ligious murders, where are we to stop? One of the most marked features of the Christianity of the first ages was the value it taught men to put upon human life, and the horror it produced of bloodshed. It found Rome reveling in blood and the reck less destruction of life. But. through its doctrines of immortality, retribution and reserection, it taught men to put a value upon every human life, frith which nothing else could compare. Men who suffered martyrdom themselves, but never Milieu-al death on others, not unnaturally became even extreme in their views of the value of that which they never took from others, but which once taken, could never be re stored. The Hindoos, following out that ides for thousands of years, hold a gauze over the month that they may not take the life of insects as they breathe. But Ckris : tians have ever been allowed M sacrifice all inferior lives to the support of that of man, wh'eh thus became so peculiarly cared for that, at one time no one who hail, evt7+ by ,,- chest, taken away the life of any one, could ever after officiate in the Cluistian minis try, in many parts of the world. The effect of this high value of life has been most marked upon the civilization of Christian nations. All high elevation is at once laid aside by the gra). masses of men where life is insecure and the art of defending it is the first necessity. Especially is this the case in civil war or frequent as sassination. Nature is economical in all her laws and arrangementa, and just in prey portion as the lives of men ani liable to be violently cut short, those lives become less valuable ;by acquired knowledge and pro found cultivation. The two always go to gether. Once in a while an Archimedes may be caught in a besieged city, but not often. Where rapine and violence and bloodshed flourish, philosophers and all men of the higher class of mental as well WI moral culture become scarce in that ex- act proportion. In Africa, where men of the very lowest type abound, the destruction of life is most reckless and wholesale. In a single slave hunt, twenty or thirty villages will tie con sumed, and three hundred men and women and infants will be killed for the sake of capturing one hundred youths fit for the slave market. In India and China, teeming with life, 'the lower castes may be destroyed by thou sands and nothing is thought of it. In an army a thoasand men may be slain without much ado, but let the general, the hero of many encounters, be touched, and the whole country takes the alarm, and ono brave soldier will gladly throw himself upon the exploding bomb-shell to save the life of a Napoleon. This regard for the quality rather than the quantity of life is not merely the effect of calculation as to the superior value of the more cultivated and rare, but it is also that security and peace are necessary to produce the more rare, valuable and culti vated forms of life. And it has thus far been the mission of Christianity to produce a regard jor life as life, from a consideration of the anticipated value which may be giv en to it by pfoper cultihtion, and this an ticipation has been realized in Christian na tions, in proportion to the faith in the value of every hll7/1421 . 7. lift. The equal rights of all American citizens has recognized this, and Our peacefulness has been the source of 'Our prosperity and culture. Now it was the reeklessnem V life in pursuit of' a theory that . is the most astonishing phenomenon of smolt tf. character as that of John Brown: 'Us_ __was perfectly indifferent to ligh ting the torch ~:..,..,,? t wig, of clylksyar in fi l ,p.c.eful.. village, and along V4.1,"%.413..* .a thousand . ,Leilea of frontier: Let all ex .• ': -..' ---, 1. - Mists, form, Int estimate of the value of ... - • Ti_ oneV , "), , mid In ttlagy - tha_ b-y ' millionß, Le •: _ -- '- - , I .

Bring him out *AS Citi zens' Candidate Virginia Preparing The State of Virginia is preparing, nest for defense against foreign enemies and in surrection with n her borders. Tho plan first proposed for their new armory and arsenal would involve a heavy expenditure andan in creased taxation. But Governor Wise has, we learn, recommended to the military committee the plan proposed by Major Hartley, which is to incorporate a joint stock company, with a capital of five hundred thou Sand dollars, to establish an armory on a scale adequate to the supply of the State with arms, and also all the other Southern States. Major Hartley offers to take half of the stock, and to supply at once the necessary machinery, &c. It is probable that the proposition will be adopted. Ho will turn out the improved arms, such us carbines and rifles, pistols, &c., all repeating. At present the Southern States are dependent Won the North for arms, and have lately ordered large supplies from Hartford and Springfield. More Robberies on the Border-The Kansas Game not Played Out. The Bates County Standard of the 13th, pub lished in Butler, Missouri, and received last night, has a lengthy account of another foray, made by a gang of some forty mon from Ram sas, led by ono, Snyder, who figured largely ender the notorious thief and cut throat, Captain Montgomery, during the 'sainted' old Brown's times in tbat Territory. We condense the details, but give the special facts. Three men. of Missouri, Messrs. Bennett, of Parkivik- / Brown of West Point, and Bell, of. Lafayette County, started over into Kansas on the evening of the Sth. inst., after a fugitive slave, who was understood to be in the vicinity of Ossawatemie. Nightdrovo them to shelter, and they obtained it with a farmer named Taylor. When all had retired, and the weary travelers were about giving themselves up to sleep, voices were heard without, and the tramp of many feet betrayed the presence of a large company of men, who soon demanded admission into the home, or that the stran gers be sent or, brought out to them. To save the house and property of their host from ashes, and probably their own lives, the Missourians surrendered, and dressed and went out. Once in the hands of the brigands, they were compelled to suffer numerous per sonal indignities. They brought the very nes gru whom their prisoners were insearch of,and made him confront thorn, and east the lie in their teeth; their hats and coats were taken off and given to him, and one of the mon was com pelled to wear the black rascal's bat ; then the unfortunate men were deprived of their arms —a brava of Colt's revolvers each—and a levy of fifty dollars was assessed to pay the negro's expenses to Canada. The horse of one of 'them was given the negro, and those of the other twe taken to be sold, and the pro ceeds, we suppt3se, applied to the "Jayhawk" fund. About seven or right hundred dollars worth of property was taken. Then a caucus RIM held as to what should be done with the prisoners, part of the band being in favor of hanging ; indeed, some violent threats and Mud talking took place between Snyder and one or two of the most blood thirsty of his men, as to whether the prisoners should be hung or liberated. Snyder's coun sel—however, prevailed,—he said he had given his word that they should not and he would"bed —d if he did'nt stick to it." So they were marshal off before the muzzles of twenty loaded rifles four miles. from the sceneof the outrage, and abandoned to their fate. They walked that, night to Miami Mission, and there procured conveyance to West Point, glad enough to be alive and beyond the reach of their late captors. Cuunterfelter Caught On Tuesday afternoon last, a young man, whocalls his name Ciavett, anit'who says lie re sides in Ingham COutity, succeeded in passing four si, bins on the Citi,:en.' Bank, of --Pitts burgh, Pa., but was soon detefited and brought before Justice Pcick by officers Fleming and Hollister. Garcia was sent down to Marshal for safe keeping until Friday afternoon (to morrow,) when he will be brought up fur ex amination. The bill is liable to deceive good judges.
