ed that the Democratic party was disorganiz
ed and-broken up. And long before the Abo
litionists had acquired any respectable shin-
of atreegtb, it wu stoutly affirmed by the
then existing opposition that the Dem,cratic
party was disorganized and powerless to re
unite. It was so after the election of Jeffer
son, Madison and Monroe ; it was so after the
election of Jackson and Van Buren. It was
so after the election of I'olk and Pierce. And
now, that James Buchanan occupies the exe
cutive chair, we hear the same old croakers
piping their doleful old chorus. To all the
enemies of the Democratic party, in the name
of the past glories and triumphs of that lion
' ored old party, we send greeting, that the
Democracy are sure to rally in rite future as
they have done in the past, and the ballot
boxes, while attesting the strength of the
party, will at the same time place the usual
temporary quietus upon the motley voiced
croakers. It is not worth while to refer to
the disintegrated, disjointed and distracted
condition of the opposition, end commend
them to a careful healing of their own
breaches, for the opposition don't aspire to
be considered anything more than a number
of cliques and factions, all out of joint as re
spects anything like concentration upon well
defined principles. They are the opposition,
but not a party.
We predict a Democratic triumph at the
next general election in Pennsylvania, and
then, in 1860, when the old national flag of
the Democracy will be hung upon the out
ward wall, it will infuse the ancient Demo
untie fire into the bosoms of the masses the
country over, and victory, glorious victory
will again follow the eagles of Democracy,
and everything like opposition, Know Noth

End of the Sickles Triel,
Verdict "Not Guilty."—The trial of Daniel
E. Sickles fur the murder of Philip Barton
Key, which engaged the attention of the Crim
inal Court in the city of Washington for twen
ty days; was concluded on Tuesday last, and
the jury after an absence of about forty min.
utes returned into Court with a verdict of
o `,Not Guilty." The verdict seems to have
been anticipated for as soon as it was pro
nounced a shout went up and hats and hand
kerchiefs were waved to testifiy its popular
ity. The scene was a wild one and great
enthusiasm prevailed.
Military Miectiona.
The elections fur all commissioned officers,
of the Volunteers throughout the State, ex
cept Major Generals, will take place on the
first Monday of June next. These officers
are elected fur fire years. The Major Gener
als are eltcted in July following by the com
missioned officers. An oversight existed in
the late militia law, by which all the Major
Generals were continued •in office fur one
year succeeding the election of commissioned
officers. It being desirable that the terms of
the Major Generals and other commissioned
officers should be nearly uniform, an amend
ment to the law was passed by the Legisla
ture a day or two before the close of the ses
sion, providing for the election of the Major
Generals in the monde following the election
of the commissioned officers.
Appropriation to the Poassykunia Taus
/cert.—lc appears that the statement which
found its way into The Compiler, along with
other papers, that the Legislature had made
an appropriation of $2OO to each of the sur
viving officers and privates of the two Regi
ments of Pennsylvania Volunteers who serv
ed in the war with Mexico, is altogether er
roneous. The section itself, which led to the
belief that such an appropriation had been
made, is so ambiguously worded, that it might
be easily misunderstood. We now learn
that its object is merely to make up a small
deficiency in the fund which was applied to
the payment of the expenses of the soldiers
on their way to the seat of war, under the
provisions of the Act of 29th March, 1851.
The whole amount required was but $2O O ,
and this sum only has been appropriated for
that specific purpose.
i'recit Prayed* at th 3 West and Soli4.—
Mr. Price, the well known fruit grower of
Cincinnati, informs the editor of the Gazette
that the prospects for a good crop, on his 0,-
000 or 7,000 trees, is so fine that if all the
fruit now on the trees remain to maturity,
the limbs .will require -props to keep th em
from breaking. Our exchanges in Mississii
pi report the fruit crop in good condition
nearly all over the State.
Rai!recut L'oeiraniel Liable /or Baggage.—
The Wilmington and Manchester railroad
company have a rule that denies the liabil
ity fur the loss of baggage to an amount over
1100. A. passenger recently sued them in
the court at Darlington, S. C., fa. $5OO, which
he proved to be the value of his trunks and
contents, and recovered that sum. The judge
instructed the jury that a railroad company
could not limit it own liabilities.
Foxed Guilly.—Thomas Smithson, Jr.,
aged 22, has been convicted at Pittsburg, of

TkreeJodases, eat* one thrice worse thanJodas,
The trio of miserable traitors whose names
stand at the head of this artie/e, were the
prime morers and leading spirits in the late
disorganizes's' Cmvention. What has the
Democratic party dt.ne, that these men who
are its creatures, whom it has nursed and
fondled in its bosom, whose very bread it has
placed in their mouths, should thus, like so
many parricides, attempt to destroy it ? Has
it abated one jot or tittle of the principles it
held when they declared themselves proud of
their connection with it Has it repudiated ,
any of the doctrines which formed lii creed
whsu they_preteuded to be loyal to its organ
ization! Kis it retracted its cpposition to
Know Nothingistn, to sectional fanaticism?
Ilia it falsified its professions in any particu
lar, or to any client? ANki candid, conscien
tious man can answer in the afrirmatire.—
Why, then, do these men antagonize, the par
ty and strive to effect its ruin' The answer
is, they hare sold theinselecs to Vie tipp,sation.'
Forney failed to secure ofs-e in the Demo
cratic ranks (through the treachery of Lebo,
Wagonseller and Maneur, the prototypes of
himself, Knox and Hickman) and lie is now
Lidding for favors from his former political
enemies. hnufs vaulting ambition over
leaps Democratic appreciation of his merit , ,
and he too gazes lustfully on Opv)sition
honors. The Cul-rnatorial ('hair of the
Commonwealth of Pe.iiiisyltania haunts his
visions, and the promi,e of the Mick Re
publicans to lift Lim upon its coveted cush
ions, was the Syron sung that lured him to
his apostacy. As fur Rickman, he has al
ready received his hire, The price of his
treason was a sufficient number of Black Re
publican votes to secure his election to Om
gress. Those are the secret springs from
which flow the bitter waters----the wormwood
and gall--..,f which these three Judasea would
fain have the Dem,cracy tit drink. Funny.
Kota and Melman hare sold themsdossr, and
are attempting to transfer the Democratic par
ty to the men they hare repeatedly denounced
as the enemies of their country! To fulfil the
terms of their contract, they must hold- Con
ventions, issue addresses, make speeches from
the stump, and scatter the seeds of their in
fidelity as widely as possible. Therefore, let
Democrats be on their guard! Let them be
ware of the falsehoods which these men will
promulgate! Trust not their specious
speeches, fur
"Ms On all traitors;
If their purgation did consist in words,
They are as innocent as grace itself."
stir The Democratic party has stood forth
before the country for years the Gibraltar of
the Constitution and the Union. It was born
with the Coverrunent to protect and preserve
it, and it has thus far faithfully discharged
its mission, and we believe it will contiuue
to do so.
We hate no apprehensions for the future.
Wo believe the intelligence of the people will
prevail, and that the Democratic party will
defeat tho schemes of the Know Nothings,
however deep they may be laid, and present
an impregnable front to pll the thrusts and
assaults of the common enemy. True, it may
suffer temporary defeats—so may truth, jus
tice and virtue—but they will rise again, as
sert their supremacy, power and majesty,
and so will the Democratic party. It is
founded upon solid national principles, and
never can be conquered, unless the American
people become too degenerate, fickle, imbecile
and corrupt to sustain a Republican Gov,
eminent. This we cannot believe will ever
be the case. The Democracy is a national
party, and must be a powerful organization,
and will in the future, as in the past, triumph
over all sectional factions.
Mailing Letters at the Cars.—The privilege
allowed of mailing letters at the cars has been
so much abused at many points upon the lines
of railroad that the Postotfice Department has
found it necessary to haute a circular to route
agents on the subject. Hereafter they are to
receive only such letters as they hare good
reason to believe were written after the usual
boor for closing the mail at the local postof
flee, and also such as could not, with ordina
ry diligence, have beeit mailed At the postof-
See in time torah° outgoing mail. The Con
stitution says :
The mailing of letters in any considerable
number by route agents necessarily occupies
the time which they should devote to the
careful distribution and delivery of way mat
ter, and is likely to interfere with the more
Perfect discharge of their duties. Another
important cunbideration is the effect it ham
upon the income of local offices, in diminish
ing the commissions of those offices where
the Letters should properly be mailed.—
There is much ountpLsiut from pusUuseters of
this evil.

An Absconding Cashier Caught in Teresa.--1
Last October, James A. McCorkle, cashier ofi

Atrocious Murder.—On Saturday evening
week, nn atrocious and bloody murder was
mitninittedlat the house of Pat Hughes, Wil-
Itatushurg;two miles above East Birmingham,
Pa, At this same thinking house a murder
was committed about six months ago. The
murderer's name is Charles Slacker, n black
smitfi by trade. The murdered man's name
is Thos. Bradley, an iron a orker in Jones do
lettith'e rolling mill. Slacker drew a strong
bowie knife, the blade about seven inches
long, and inflicted on Bradley four wounds,
three of which were-most desperate ones, and
each sufficient to cause death. The unfortn
nnte man ran out, crying I am rtuok. The
murderer then sprang into the bar room, with
knife uplifted and reeking with hl eel, and to
the crowd in it swore that he would kill them
all unless they cleared the room. A general
panic ensued, and all rushed out except one,
who picked up a pitcher, and, ns the murde
rer made a dash at him with the keife, struck
him on the bend with it. Slacker then re
treated, but afterwards gave himself up, and
is now in prison.
A New Bank Lock any key or key

Around the door of the Bank is a small

100. You lock the door and then set the in.
dex to any number you please (say 57) by
turning it to the right. You then set it to
the seound number (say 95) by turning it to
the left, and then a third number (say 18)
by turning it to the right again. You then
giro it a twirl and go off and leave it, and no
person in the world can open it without he
knows the precise figures, which can be vari
ed each time it is fastened.
Will Saltpetre Ex.lade.—This ponderous
question, after all that has been said and done
pro and con to decide it, is still involved in
smoke and confusion. A circumstance occur
red, not long ago, in London, which really
goes to prove that this old salt will explode
in spite of all that has been said to the con
trary. In the report (for 1658) of Mr. Braid
wood, the Superintendent of the London Fire
Department, it is stated that a fire took place
in one of the deck warehouses last summer,
and when the flames reached the saltpetre, a
violent explosion took place, by which the
centre of the building was blown to atoms,
the division walla forced in, and the floors of
the adjoining warehouse set on fire. Mr.
Braidwood appears to have settled this quea
tion for London, although it is well known
that saltpetre may be roasted over an open
I lire without raising a single puff.

The lovely flowers fade wirity—
They bloom—they wither in - a

Awhile we gaze on them with joy—
Masi no !Alai; without alloy
Is found on earth.
The fragile bard; so sweet and fair,
With fragrant perfume fill the air,
But, struck by a relentless blight,
They, 'Oath the chilly tar of night,
Fade at their birth.
So your sweet child, a lovely flower
That bloomed awhile within your bower,
To cheer you with its beauty rare,
Na more shall need a mother's care,
ter share het lure.
Though In the tomb his body lie,
The larely flower shall not die;
But in the Garden of the Lord
Transplanted at his Saviour's word,
He blooms above.
Then, mourn not that your child has guno•
To dwell near God's eternal throne;
Weep not, that in life's early spring,
Ere sin a sadd'uing shade could bring
Tu mar his toeace.
Ile went to join the white-robed hand,
That dwells within that happy hind,
Where tilt! sweet, "soul-reviving strain's"

Death ii•ois Ealing F, irtion
melancholy case of the death of a child from
eating or introducing into its stinnach and
system, the deleterious substance of which
the ignitable portion of friction matches is
composed, occurred in Lower Chanceford
township, York county, on Wednesday of last
weak. A little daughter, near three years
old, of Mr. Nelson Connor, residing near
Castle Fin post office, in that township, was
taken sick on the evening of the 12. th ult,
but from what cause was a mys s y to the
parents, until ahout midnight, when she be
came very ill they discovered by the smell
from its breath thatit had been eating trio
tion matches. Thep then examined the room
and found on the flour some fifty or more
matches with the ends off. It seems that in
the evening, during the absence of tbe moth
er, the little one had gut hold of a Ins of
matches, and had eaten the ends off a portion
of them, causing its death in fourteen hours
thereafter.
