PRESIDENT DUCEIANAN.-DEMOCRAT-
IC FEALTY
The fact that one set of men belonging to a
pulitical-party have continued to hold a sat of
opinions,while another, believing it the wisest
policy to pursue, have, in a measure, changed
'or modified their opinions, our consequent
course is no evidence that either are wanting
iu faith and adherence to the great general
doctrines of the party. Upon particular top•
ice Democrats may honestly differ in opinion,
and still all be Democrats. The national
Democratic sentiment of the country always
has, and always will, frown down any and all
attempts at ostracism fur difference of opinion
upon any single issue. At the time of the
repeal of the Missouri Compromise Act, Dem.
ozrats differed regarding the wisdom of this
policy, yet its wisdom being proved by expe
rience, the Democracy united in its approval.
So in regard to the- Fugitive Slave Law, there
was a wide difference of opinion, but when
its fairness and justness, as a measure of pub
lic policy, came to be ascertained, the Demo
°natio voice was unanimous in its favor. A
score of similar instances might be given,
where a temporary difference of opinion has
resulted in cementing the Democratic party
mere strongly together, and adding both morn
al force and the force of numbers to its organs
ization. The same happy result is now visi
ble in the Democratic ranks throughout the
country, as regards the temporary differences
which have existed upon the Kansas question,
where,-a
-few months ago; an exceeding hitter
ness apparently existed, which the opposition
looked upon as a breach which could not be
healed, we now see the Democrats working
together in unity and concord. There is no
longer an intestine war in Kansas. Upon the
basis of the organic law a pacification has
been effected, and the President, although
placed in a most trying position, has disarmed
violence and silenced bickerings by obedience
to the constitution and the laws.
The country has quieted down—the heat
of excitement is past, and the Democratic or
ganization now sees the necessity of the
avoidance of sectional or local issues, and
of turning its attention to the more solid
and general national questions of the day.
The Washington Union, in this view of the
political future, says, that the true issue all
over the country is the support of the " ad
ministration of Mr. Buchanan, as the repre
sentative of the Democratic party, agai net all
opposition, whether of open enemies or false
friends."
The Kansas excitement having been so
happily terminated, the people of the country
are beginning to see what Mr. Buchanan has
done for them since he assumed the reins of
government scarce eighteen months ago. He
found party strife running to a most daring
height, and sectionalism was destroying the
harmony of the people and threatening the
disruption of all : previous organizations. Va
rious difficult questions of foreign and domes
tic policy were pressing upon the government
for decision and adjustment. While the at,
tentiou of the country was swallowed up
with the one exciting issue, calmly, and pru
dently, and wisely the President grasped - the
other points of national business and most hap.
pily and satisfactorily disposed of them,content
to wait the sober second thought of the people
for his reward for services in their behalf.
His course has fully justified the Democracy
in the wisdom of their selection. His election
was the signal for party strife and sectional.
ism to cease. The success of the national De
mocracy in electing him was the death blow
to Know Nothingism, and so utterly discour
aged the ranks of the Opposition, that never
since have they been able to readjust their
forces pen any basis of principles, their
only gathering cry being " opposition to the
present administration." And why do they
oppose Mr. Buchanan Is it because, by his
firm course of policy and action in crushing
out the Mormon - rebellion which, at one time,
wore the threatening aspect of a serious war ?
The temporizing policy of previous Adminis
trations had given strength to the Mormon
abomination and folly. Mr. Buchanan pur
sued no half way measure. He promptly put
down Brigham Young and his rebellious
myrmidons in a manner and by a course of
action as independent, admirable and deci
sive as ever occurred in the history of
this e. , untry. He has saved the honor of the
country from contact with Mormon pollution,
and has preserved the liver of these misguid
ed People by his promptness of action.
Again. Do they oppose Mr. Buchanan for
the moral courage and resolution, which he
displayed in the matter of the outrages upon
the American flag in the Gulf of Mexico ?
Here he did not hesitate, and his prompt and
decided action brought the British Govern
ment to their senses, and orders to restrain
such offensive acts in the future were at once
issued, as -the result of Mr. Buchanan' s pa
triutic. and decided position. The right of
search was at once yielded to his dematide ae
the head of the nation.
The President has also shown, the groundg
upon which that grand national work, which
is to cionnectthe Atlantic and Pqific, cart be
constitutionally carried forward, and a com
mencement has been made. He has lent the
use of the nation, by giving the gallant Ni-
agara, to the greatest achievemeut of modern
times, over which the nation is now rejoicing
—the laying of the sub-sea telegraphic cable,
between Europe and America. This great
success will be one of the marks of the era
of Mr. Buchanan's administration.
It is for inch things as these that the oppo
sition are adverse to the present administra
tion, for his every act has been done in the
belief that it was for the public good.
Surrounded and advised by a Cabinet com
posed of the most distinguished men of the
nation, all of whom have agreed with his
views and supported his policy, his adminis
tration hitherto has been such a one, as every
democrat in the country can look upon with
approval and pride.
As the clouds are swept away which sec
tionalism and opposition to time honored de
mocratic doctrine had attempted to throw
over the party, each and every member of
the party is ready and willing and anxious to
reaffirm his adherence to those great principles
uncle_ r which the country has prospered for
the last sixty years, and the "opponents of
the present administration" are dismayed at
the unanimity which exists in the Democratic
ranks, and which they know must and will
anntipue to grow and increase under the wise
I Pennsylvania—clawtriode administration of
The slight notice the Atlantip telegreph re
ceives in the London Press, is in striking
contrast to the interest it has awakened
among the journals of this country. Here
the facilities it gives for information are
eagerly sought to be used for the benefit of
newspaper readers, and to keep up the inter
est in the journals. In England, even in the
Times, two or three lines dispose of the
telegraphic information from Valentia Bay,
and all the telegraphic despatches in the pa
per, seldom cover more than three inches of
space. Igt o the United States, a journalthat
does not have half a column of intelligence
daily, is of no accout as a newspaper, and
most of the leading journals of the country,
have three or four columns. Ili England, men
in Commercial and Financial dircles, pay for
their own telegraphing , in this country, they
all depend upon the public preis fur this kind
of information, except under peculiar and
special circumstances. As newspapers, the
press of America, in all respects, is far ahead
of that of, England, and to the public the ex
pense is about ore third as great.
CONTRIBUTIONS TO AMERICAN HIS
TORY.
The Historical Society in Pennsylvania is
preserving and publishing a great variety of
most interesting historical matter. A perma
nent fund of $l3 500 has been created,the in
terest of which is used in the production of
such historical matter as the society may select
in book form. A subscription by any person of
820 to the Publication Fund obtains the right
during life to receive one copy of each publi
cation of the Society.
We have received the sixth volume:of the
" Memoirs of the Historical Society of Penn
sylvania" just issued under the auspices of
the society from the press of J. B. Lippen
cott & Co., of Philadelphia. It is an elegantly
printed large octavo volume of over four
hundred pages, and contains the following
Nqiers: Some account of Society of Cincin
nati, by Alexander Johnston, Journal of the
general meeting of the Cincinnati in 1784
by Major Winthrop Sargeant ; The Insurrec
tion of the year 1794, in the western counties
of Pennsylvania ; The Wampum Belt, de
livered by the Indians to Wm. Penn, with a
fac simile engraving : The Acadian exiles, in
Pennsylvania ; and the case of Major Andre,
with a review of the statement of it in Lord
Mahon's History of England.
This a most valuable work, and should be
in hands of every Pennsylvanian.
The Board of Brokers and the Corn Ex.
change Association, of New York City
have resolved to abstain from business on
Wednesday, in order to joinn the Telegraph
Jubilee. The Merchants, down town, will
probably agree to close their stores ; the Post
Office and Custom House will be restricted to
Sunday hours only, so that the Ist of Septem
ber here, will be to all intents and purposes
a dies non in the business world.
Trinity Church has resolved to come out of
her aristoarotic shell on the occasion, in
order to sing grand a Te Deurn in honor of the
event. It is expected that one hundred of the
Episcopal clergy of this and the neighboring
dioceses., will be present on the occasion, all
robed in surplices. The Provisional Bishop
will be among them. The church is to be
appropriately decorated with such ecclesias.
tiell emblems as may have a bearing upon the
business in hand.
The British Consul at the suggestion of the
several Presidents of tne foreign Benevolent
Societies, has called a general meeting of the
English, Irish, Scotch, and Welch and Cana_
dian residents at Niblo's on Monday evening
to determine upon an appropriate mode of
celebrating the cable."
In Philadelphia also arrangements have been
made for a grand display on the occasion. In
both these cities it is said that the celebration
will be on a scale of magnificence never sur
passed in this country, the militnry, the fire
men, the civic societies, the Masonic fraterni
ty, Odd Fellows, and, indeed, nearly every
organized body in the city, will be repreiient
in the spectacle. What are we going to do in
Pittsburgh ?
We learn from the Cincinnati Price Current'
that contracts are being made for hogs in In
diana and Kentucky at $42 25 gross which
is equal to $5; s(f, net, delivered there.
There is said to be a very general opinion
prevailing among country dealers, owing to
the backward state of the corn crop, that the
prices will rule higher the coming season,
though packers think if prices open as high
as last year the result will be even more dies
estrous.
The following extract from a letter to ex-
Mayor Clark of New York city, is of intereet
in these days of rotation in office :
"I was appointed Postmaster under the Admin
istration of Thomas Jefferson by Gideon Granger,
the Postmaster General, September 23, 1802,
fifty-six - yeara till September next, and do all
my PostAhoe business myself. I am now 88
years of age since July 19, 1868."

The nevi's:from Fraser river, by the Moses
Taylor, is interesting. Another shipment of
$50,000 in gold from the_new diggings had
reached Sari Francisco. The tide of emigre-
Eon to the northward had, however, beep
partially 'checked by theediScOnraging reports ,
circulated by the disappointed gold hunters.
During the fortnight preceding-.the - sth inst.
1,200 persons had taken,passage_for . Victoria;
while 2,000 had returned from the same point.

he could do very well, but that a match alone
could determine his true position in the chess
