• A 1 RANS. ADMISSIOIC—The Louiiville
courier, an old-line Whig paper in Kentnck-
ey, -very frankly says:—"We do not for a
moment, suppose that the Whigs can have a
hoie for their own success in ihe next cam-
paign. We believe, that it is written down
in the book of fate that the
. Dernoeracyr will

The Tpith by_a. Preacher.
_ The Rev. Charles Wadsworth of Philadel
phia, is one of the most eloquent and liberal
- promulgators of religion in the country : He
is a Preabyterian by, profession and a Chris
.4in by.praetice,-- r and he has done. as much'
good for the cause of - civil and religious Tiber
-ty as-any man of.lais age- We cominend the
, • -,
following extract from One Of his sermons to
our readers. It is short and strong—too strong
for, successful _refutation:
"The main who in a land and age like' this,
is honestly declaiming the temporal influence
of the poor , Pope, and earnestly - declaiming
against the political' arts of the 'poor Catho
lics, ought to have lived in the last century,
and followed the Spanish Cavalier in his Cru-,
sade against windmills. 'Nor have w'e'any
•
more to fear from. the influx of, Foreign ele-,
Tunis into our body politic, in . '.the' character
- and habits of the mingled races, of the 'old
world. • Though foreign emigration were in-_
creased a hundred' fod, it would no more
alarm-a thoughtful 'inan for - the safety of our
free institutions,- than do the thousand rivers
that pour their varied elements into, the sea,
alarm a philosopher for the ;purity of the
mighty and assimilating ocean. The nation
is already, in all its grand elements of char-r
acter," permanently Anglo-American, and a
•wise.man would just ascsincerely fear to dine
on a salmon lest he himself should become a
great fish ; or to break his fast on •a bird, lest
he should sprout with feathers and wings, as,
to havea fear lest this American nationality
be essentially or injuriously modified by any
_foreign elements that may .flow into it."
"THE FAVORITE SON OF NEW. Yock."—A
meeting to form a, Fillmore and Do'nelson
club, in one of the wards of New York, was
lironounced a few days since. Two persons
only attended.
A CRUMB OF COLD CONFORT.—The Wil
mington (Del.) Gazette says : "We have been
informed that a gentleman in this .city has
seen a letter from Hon. John M. Clayton, in
whichle says he cannot support the nomina
iton of Mr. Fillmore."
The Self Consistency of Deniocracy.
Democracy, in relation to man in the rib
straCterecognises the equal rights of all men;
in relation to 'men in society, it holds that
they.•need surrender no rights whateyersin
forming or maintaining society, and that.per
fect society allco;vs:the range for every right;
in relation to gisrernmental forma l its central
idea is, that the people are sovereigne.thatall
rulers should be only_theagents of public bp
'inion, that the National will should be su
preme in National matters, and that the will
of each Locality should determine merely lo
cal matters. In other words, Democracy is
organized Liberty—Liberty in all respects—
National Liberty, Local Liberty, and Individ
sial Liberty. Democracy believes in an all
present, and ever working God; in living.,
healing, fructifying perfecting Natute; And
that no needless human attempt should be
made-to .restrict their secret, but sure, inces
sant and developing activities. These truths
Democracy comprehends as principles, feels
as sentiments, and * practices as. rules. The.
Constitution of the Union, as well ok the.
States, embodies and gives form, and ove
meat .to these truths; therefore , Democracy
faithfully carries out the Constitution in .let
ter and spirit. These truths are accepted.
and exemplified by the American people in
their ipstinCts,, characteristics and. -habits;
therefore Democracy squares with the Amer
ican mind and heart,embiaces a steady ma
jority of our voters, and. usually fills the of
fices and euides the -policy of the govern
ment. The grandeur or its ideas renders the.
Democratic Party en thusiastic, their accor
dance with our condition and bur progress,
make it eminently practical ; while their
clear simplicity enables it to apply them
readily to every current measure and issue.—
Thus,. with all its everfloWing life, and im
pulse, and 'excitability, that Party, has always
been true to its principles, ,its past, and .its
mission. It.accepts the, truths on -which it
rests so entirely and broadly, and appreciates
them so deyotedly, that it never condescends
to palter with any,that laCk its osvn,full and
liberal faith., Let Democratic principleslead
where they . will, the Democratic Party al
ways followe, and takes its position honestly,
publicly and.fearleisly. s Its confidence in its.
vital truths inspires equal confidence in its
own energies and efforts, and in the results
of the future. Democracy, in its untouched
and single estate, is a Sampson.. Shear, its
locks to suit any expedient fashion '
of the
hour, lay its head inthe lap of some Delilah
of Coalition, and the invincible athlete would
get weak, blind and bound.
Since, thii formation 'of the Federal Union,
the Democratic Party. has been, in the gener
al, thoroughly true to its principles, and
therefore thoroughly consistent with itself:—
It began with the Jet ersons and Madisons
who comprehended that the propOsed Con
stitution should be, not a burdensome and dis
trustful instrurrient of restriction, but a means
of freeing, amplifyin g and encouraging all
popular energies and. spontaneousness. In
strict consistency with , this„ origin, was the
Democratic sympathy with the French Rev-.
caution, the repeal of the Alien, and Sedition
Laws, the cheap
,and domeStic 'simplicity of
Jefferson's administration,, the purchase of..
Louisiana that doubled the area of our devel
opment,:the wa.r_withGreat Britain that yin
dieated oar: 'pluck; and freed the seas, .the
Monroe announcement that the Western.
World afforded no more room for royal colo
nization, the Reform 'of the Ciirrency, and
the destruction of the poitedStates
In strict consistency with , that, origin, and
these antecedents, is the gradtial. but certain
change of the ,syStern of commercial restrics
tion to , the' systein of. light. thitiesi 'and free
trade,..the steadfast and increasingly strenu
ous defence, by the•DernoeraCy, of the, local
'rights of the Slave State 4 -, the Constitutional .
Policy of ponsintervention With. the Territo
ries so emphatically 'illustrated in the'sKan
sas2Nebraska Bill, and the defiant 'resistance .
to the proscriptiveness, bigotry, -and despo
tism of. Know-Nothingism.. . ,
• Dierks have justified such noble steadfast
ness. The ever-giovvincs a.nd super-amazing
prosperity of our. whole eountry, has triumph-'
antly vindicated ,Democratic principles, and
Victory has been the ever auspicious atten
dant of the'Derneeratic Party. Occasionally, , .
,popular misconceptions, wide. Spree:Hog ex

The Empress , Eugenie has given birth to a

PARIS, Sunday, March 16.—The' Em
press yesterday felt symptoms of the near
approach of the event that, France and the
world has . been for , some time expecting.—
Her health was good-and 'everything• indi
cated a happy result. At hall-past four
'o'clock in the .afternoon, during •the remis
sion of the pains of labor, the 'Empress
got up and walked about her apartment
leaning on the Emperor's . arm. She was
distinctly seen 'by many Of the people
who" thronged the , garden of the Tuileries.
"All last night, a throng of people •wait
ed ,outside • the palace to • learn the result
of thdeEmpress's travail, and before morn
ing, they were apprised of the birth of a
Prince, -by two lights being placed in a
window. Had. the infant been a Princess,
only one light ,would have = made its ap
pearance. At •stx o'clock in the morning,
a salute ,of one; hundred and one guns'an
nounced• the birth of the King of Algeria
to ,the whole population. The. excitement
was great, and the congratulations , Were
general among all classes.
"The Imperial Prince was privately christ
ened at noon to-day, in : the presence of
the. Emperor; after mass in the -chapel of
the Tuilleries. The ceremony was perform
ed by Billeop Naney e , the Emperor's First
Almoner, His Holiness the Pope being God= .

Prince was : born in,-the, midst i•of• hopes of
Peace. •, • :•n.
Within a- few minutes of the,birth of the
Prince at a,quarter past three this morning,
.the Emperor sent messages in his own .name
announcing. the event to:the Pope; the Queen
of England; the King, of Piedmont, the Queen
of Sweden, the Grand ..Duchess , Dowager of
Bader;;. and I believe some other .Courts. it,
is, a very curious. act, -as showing not ..only'
the wonders of the Electric Telegraph, but
also the activity of great personages at hours
when the - .world atJarge is wrapped in sleep?,

were received in answer before six o'clock.

Among the preparations for .tbe illumina
tions of the evening ; these-of the ,Bourse shine
fourth conspicuously, and they.are the more
marked because the Bourse has never illurni:'
nated on any of the'many recent occasions of
public rejoicing. The decoration erected- in
,front of the Bourse -consists-of a triumphal'
arch, surmounted by an imperial crown. On
the. frieze is .the inscription, in eolored. lamps,
The C&Agens de, Change, to -.the imperial
_Prince." The arch is united.by garlands of
flowers and:evergreensjo four pyramids sur
mounted - with.stars, ornamented with the na
tional flag, and bearing the inscriptions.—
"Nive I' Empereur,"..-"Vive P Imperatrice."
Between the pyramids are four escutcheons,
bearing the .words, "Confidence, Prosperity ?
Credit, Security,'? The Municipal Council,
op receiving the news ' iinmediately..voted a
,sum . of 200,000 .francs for the poor, of 'which
100,400 francs are to be, employed in redeem
ing beddin„Triledged at the . Mont de Piere,,
and the other 100,000 francs in paying :the
nurses of poor.mothers who are in -arrear.---,
Such an immense number of presents for the
Balinese and the imperial infant have lately
been sent to Paris, that it has been found ab
solutely necessary to send orders to all the
railway stations and diligence offices . in the'
country not to receive any parcel for such a
.destiriation.. Themoney- spent in paying
for the carriage' has been enormous. Of
course very few. could 'be accepted, and the
greater part were , returned to the senders
with thanks for their offer. The carriage of
all theie returned parcels was paid by her
Majesty. Many of the presents were of a
very odd character. Among the gifts for the
infant was an enormous case of honey, the
carriage of which came to twenty-francs:
The Empress received from a woman in the
South of France an extremely dirty girdle,
which the donor said She bad worn for seven
confinements, as she had- only boys she
thought the Empress would be. glad ; to wear
it for luck; - • -
lam assured pOSitively that the ,Empreas
did not take chloroform, and I learn on the
same authority that the fOrceps were used. - :
At half-past four yesterday afternOon,:- &-
ring a remission Of the pains of labor, the
Empress got up and walked about her apart
ment, leaning on the Emperor's arm. She
was distinctly seen by many peopasm the
gardens of the Tuileries.
The happy birth of an heir to the Throne
occasioned a rise of four sous in the rente
at the Little Bourse on the Boulevards. '
M. Manteuffel, the Prussian Plenipotentia
ry, arrived in Paris last night, and will be
presented to the Emperor to-morrow. • • •
The following is . the latest bulletin of the
health of Prince Jerome :
"Sunday, 91 o'clock.--The respiration is
more satisfactory. There is no fever this
morning."
To-morrow all the theatres will be thiown
open gratis. The I: . ierforrnances will' take
place at two o'clock in the afternoon.
Before the private baptism of the
. prince,
'the members of the imperial family arid the
coin t attended mass in the chapel of the Tui
leries. The court preacher took a tat appro
priate to Palm Sunday--"Beriedictds - qui ye-.
nit in nomine Dornini," "Blessed is he who
cometh in the name of the L6rd." After
making au ordinary 'application of •these
words, the preacher exclaimed, "But your
ideas anticipate thine : public 'gratitude min
gles with the new benedictions at the trium
phal pomp of the Saviour of the world."—
Then, with an apostrophe; he proceeded—
" Lord Jesus, supreme Master of. kings and'
people, That bast heard our 'prayers, and
bast granted the Wishes of the, sovereign-and
of the country. We return thanks to Thee
before our altars for having givitig to an au
gust union that TrUitfulness which forms the
joy of this great day. It is Thou who hast
blessed, in an heir to 'the throne, both 'the
faith of the prince who . proclairris before all
the world his mission, 'and the charity of the
pious princess, who honors herself in being
the protectress of the unfortunate and the
mother of Thy poor. Complete Thy mercies,

Fire in Hollidaysburg.
MR. LEWIS.-! have' 'seated myself to
write a brief account of a fire, which broke
out in this place yesterday morning about two
o'clock, which may not be.'uninteresting to
youireaders: There were seven buildings con
sumed before the fire was , extinguished : one
dwelling house on Montgomery street, near
ly opposite the Exchange Hotel, occupied by
fanles•Moorliouse ; the large tin and sheet
iron manufactory of John Bolinger, also the
tin shop of Dante} Bolinger- a jewelry es
tablishment belonging to Henry Maus, to
gether with three stables in the locality, with
the greater part of their contents, were burn
ed to the ground. It is not known for certain
where the fire originated as there were three
buildings, almost adjoining, wrapped in con
flagration when discovered. The •.two en
gines belonging to the borough; the Juniata
and Allegheny, did good service, and those
who manned them deserve credit for their
exertions. The citizens generally did all in
their power to stay the progress of the flames
though many seeming totally indifferent of
the consequences acted as idle spectators,
while some of the fair sex, who are always
willing to "lend a hand" in time of need
made themselves useful whereVer they had
an opportunity. The loss of property is cer
tainly immense,' thongh 'we understand some
of it was insured. There are - as usual in such
cases a great deal of surmising haw the fire
originated;'some supposing it to have caught
accidentally; others think it was the work of
