It is true, tho Italian inhabitants

made a now .exhibition 'ot their desire
to bo incorporated with Italy, mid tho
Italian Government is said to havo
insisted that tho question of Southern
Tyrol bj regarded as an open onoj but
'after the cession of Venetia, tho enmity
between Italy and Austria will never
again assume tho former dimensions,
and the diiof causa why Italy sought to
weaken Austria will have been remov

As regards Prussia, Count Uismark

which Atistriu is determined not to yield,
and which may yet lead to tho failure of
.the armistice Expulsion from Germany
would naturally hppcul to Austria as
preliminary to her expulsion from tho
number of the great Powers of Europe.
Prussia, flushed with her unparalleled
successes, feels ot course but little incli
nation to listen in this question to diplo
matic counsel, and would greatly prefer
to solve the question by tho sword.- -Kussia
and tho pro.-ent administration
of England desire, with France, that
Austria remain one ot tho great Powers
ot Europe, and nro reported to make
new efforts to this end.
The cession of Venetia to Franco has
caused intense indignation in both Italy
and Prustia. In both countries the idea
of ceding some territory to Franco
meets with the unanimous ami most
determined opposition ot tho people, and
any actual conces-ion of this kind would
bo the germ of tho most intense hostility
between theso countries and France.
On tho .wliol", tho complications in
Europe hayo, by the latest steps of tho
French Government, again become more
serious; but neUhor France, nor Italy
and Prussia, wj believe, are so eager to
rush into a new war as the atest disr

THE DISSOLUTION.
Tho great "National Union Conven
tion" to bo held at Philadelphia on the
14th of Aug , prox., promises to bo an
interesting affair. It is to bo a formal
consignment to tho tomb of nil that re
mains of the so oalljd Democratic partjf.
It will bj tlu "last soj-ie of all" in tho
groat drama of political and national
revolution, forced upon tho actors by ex
pedieuoy. Many and protoso will be
ho tears shed over tho oorsu of defunct
Democracy, Weed and his co.iiiljutors
now regret that the call was made in
stioh broad .terim as to accept all those
favorable to the reoon'struotioti policy of
President Juhr.sou. "Copperheads,"
"reconstructed rebels" "renegades" and
all fictions deletarious to a harmonious
convocation are placed upon the same
footing. Tho appearances are anything
but piea-ing to those who 'agitated the
movement and already internal differenc
es threaten to explode tho scheme.

tho side of tli lain iiisrmrn.o i..,l ,1,.. .patriotic and Hellish for Guthrie and
dares that those "who participated heart
and hand in tho late rebellion have no
alternative but to stand aside." How
aro these differences to b.; settled, unless
by a speedy disruption of all their plans,
or discarding the one prominent, radi
cal doctrine of the Democrat ic party that
the revolted States must rule the nat'on,
thereby kicking from beneath their feet
the last plank upon winch thi y would
perpetuate their organiza ii n ? Thurlow
Weed has spoken the doctrine, the car,
dinil point, sustained by the Union
party the iwil Uo'un pnty apon re
construction. It cannot bo expected
that he will advocate it in tho conven
tion of tho 1 tth inst , if he d es there is
no reasonable grouii 1 to believe that he
will receive support. From tho wreck
of the past they mutt sutistanliu'o a new
basis whereon to build a party. This
they can never do unless present dilli -cullies
are aiuicaoly adjusted, and only
by a concession of power to the Sonih
can this bu nccomplishcL Their future
tor lite or death hangs upon tho action
of this body, and whether tho Demo
cratic party is or is not consigned to
oblivion, none but the damned will re
joice o'er its life, or howl its requiem.
Wo subjoin an extract from the Selma
Ala , Times which we would earni'silv
invite our readers to i.eruso. It shows
how wide the chasm that must be bridg,
ed bet ore thero can be the desired coal -
ition of conservative elements and what
of honor must bo sacriliced on iho part
of the North, to secure to the Cotton
States their undent regime :
"Now, as we inherited our deniocra.
cy, and from childhood clung to tho
democratic party, through evil as well'
as lhroiigh good report, until, in our
opinion, it had become a lliing of tho
past, and as wo ..ever, whilo tho party
had tin existence, cisl other thin a'
democratic vole, we tee! at perfect liber
ty to speak plainly ol the org itii.ation 1
now existing at the North
i Inch bears ,
j,n at lime nonoreil naiuo
The democratic party was baseiole'y
on its fun laniental id ;;iH of a strict coil
sutietion ol tin Constitution and the
Ki.v.rm.miv nt .1, . s, ,

'inapplicable through a ehan'ro i,t
lhu
government the party perished
Iho great mass of the democratic
party, under the lead of Douglas and
Dickinson and Cashing and C.iss, joined
in iho war against the seceding Slates,
for which there was no constitutional
warrant, thereby at once abandoning thu
dootrino of "strict construction.' and
striking down tho other dootrino
,,f
"State Sovereignty."
If from that limo thero was a demo
cratic party, it consisted solely of the
littlo knot of noblo spirits who held out
laiin.ui to mo coil against thu iirosecii-
linn of the war.
We might successfully maintain, that
1,10 abandonment of Us principles by
tL'"ll,' "f lls "'"'" destroyed the
party as early as lyU 1 .
Hot. it'the riv-mlf. of t.t-n u'ai ili.tni'iion.
ed anything definitely, it determined, (I)
that iho Constitution, if stll the funda
m-ntat law of the Iwid, is not to bu
"V,1"1' '""trinfd in the administration
ol ihugivernmont, nnd 2) that hereat-
ter Slate sovereignty does not exi.t; and
thus, the tnumpli of tho arms ot the
United States in the conquest of the
Conto leiale States swept away thu 'oun
daiioiftof thu item icrattvpitrly, which can
no Iwijtr exist except as an oryanitation
to briny ab)ut a reM'Sat of tin verdict of
tha w,ir.
Tho old democratic party no longor
has an existence. The organi, itien" in
I the North which yet clings (w tho name
lias no rightful claim lo it. It is a
democratic party without democratic
principles It is a body without a soul.
The democracy ot this day are in a
hopeless minority. They have not suf
ficient strength in Congress to obstruct
radical legislation. They havo not eon,
trol of a single Slate government Un
aided, they cannot have a rational hope
ot Hooiu'iug ono-thlrd of tho next House
of Representatives, Ot thomsdweK, they
m e us'poweiies as we of the South iu the
utl'nirs ot. the nation, .
And. vet somo of them nrrourantlv du-
( iniind.ti.ut couaervative republicans ahall
take back seats among tliom, and work
and talk and write as mure probationers
to elevate domourat-s exclusively to
power a demand whiuh is equivalent to
a proclamation that no more recruits
will be received, and which, if generally
persisted in, would inevitably consign
the South and the country to tho per
manent beneficent rule of radicalism.
Any parly organization now must
ii'.cessarily be temporary. The one great,
paramount, all important issue now is
that raised between th' President and
Congress, upon which depends the
peace ot tho nation, tho hopes ot the
American people and every political
organization which stands in tho way
ot the settlement ot that controlling;
practical, vital question is to bo regard
ed as a puhlio ovil, for in tho presence
of that issuo ull .others sjiik into utter
insigniticaneo.
Hence, if oven tho democratic party
was a living ami patriotic organization
as of old, it should bo ignored now for
tho purpose of enabling all men of, all
parties who would see peace restored to
the country to unite on a common plat
form in support ot the only practicable
I plan for tho reconstruction of die Union,
other war democrats to refuse to take
"back seats" in the republican -party and
help put conservative republicans in
power, whereby Iho same end would I e
reached j and asT right or wrong, this
unwillingness exists on both nides, we
see no way to unite these then who
agree on tho only question pressing for
action except in anew party where they
will all lie canals.
Every day this lusion ot consef valtve
elements is delayed increases ll.o ilillicul
ties of an adjustment of our troubles
and thu dangers of the situation. Last
Kali such an Union would have canied
the great State, ct New Yoik This
Spring it would have carried New
Hampshire and Connecticut. This
Summer il would have canied Oregon
and Nebi'aska. And with a new party
we believe a majority of th ; Northern
Slates maybe carried at the next dec
lions without it, not one of them.
The new partv, should it be formed,
will necessarily he a temporary one, fo
ils object will be accomplished in tho
settlement it onr national troubles,
which must be adjusted once for ever.
Then other issues will tiriM, banal on
measures- of jio.'iey or jirineijilcs of' ioirrn
neiit, vm-i which the people will divide,.
Jlut until the country is again at peace,
until our people aro again united, no
question of tariff or taxation, of finance
or diplomacy, of internal improvement
or territorial expansion, can shape party
lilies and control political alli!iations,aud
none should be allowed to do so.

Iiik Assassination off Lincoln. We
did thank God tor calling Lincoln home.
It Lincoln is in Heaven, as Abolitionists
say, be is better off than he was in Wash
ington, beset by thieves, Abolitionists,
army contractors, olliuo seekers, and
gaping listeti"rs to his smutty jokes.
As a friend of Lincoln wo lliauk God tor
calling so great and good a man home
before ho should become disgusted with
the Annas, the James, tho Thaddeuses,
iho lSenjamins', the Charleses, and oth
ers ot their leaders ot the God and mor
ality party.
Wo thaiTk God for calling Lincoln in
to tho presence and company of Demo
crats, as he is, if in Heaven. The poor
President suffered enough fiwui being
with abolitionists on earth and wethank
ed God tor calling him beyond their
reach or influence iiero or hereafter,
Whatever is right, God w ho rules us
all, wanted Lincoln mnovud Ho made
liooth his agent i no one is to blaino fur
Lincoln's death but God. God is never
to blame j wo who ro Christians, should
thank him tor everything ; wo do so'
thank Him ; ho who does not thank God
is no Christian ; those who assail us aro
no Christians.
Wo believe iho country is heller off
now than when Lincoln was alive.
We believe tnoio in statesmanship
than in nigger songs, or in humorous
yarns in time ot war.
We believe Lincoln was a mero man
of putty in the .hai.ds ot traitors and
thieves, kuowu latterly as Abolitionists.

General Howard has received voliim
iiious reports concerning tlio cruelties
practised by Mrs. Henry Abrahams, ot
King Williams county Virginia, upon
her servants. Tho mailer canio to light
through thu investigation set on loot

that on Iho second ot Juno a liecd irirl
named, Martha Anne, aged 17, was
brought to 11 hospital nt Richmond. The
snrg' on slates that there were upon her
body seven ulcers, all the results ot burns
and nil produced within two or ihreo
weeks.
The largest was nearly two inches in
diameter. In addiliton to these her en
tire body was almost covered with scars,
some old and some covered will) recent
scales, some the result of burns, mid
somo the result ot whipping. Sho had
been so abused that dm was scarcely
able to give expression to an intelligent
idea. The investigation made before
the Judge Aduucute at Kiohm'oiid proved
that tliismouster, Mrs. Abrahams, whom
half the lawyers In the city volunteered

being tortured, hud their feet and hands
bound, and were bucked to keep them
from sn uggling or resisting. Tho houso
would be closed while they were being
burned and whipped, but theft their
cries would be heard for a long Woy
They would often faint away, and Mrs.
Abrahams would continue to strike them
with a poker paying, "You're dead, arc
you t I'll make you catch your breath."'
After tho punishment, they could not li'
nor sit down, and had to stand up a"
number of consecutive days and nights.
Hefore the children recovered from theif"
injuries Mrs Abrahams would star thoiif
with hot coals, or with a hot iron. She
nover had a servant without scars front

Bomo servant did not receive torturo.
Sarah Daiidrnlgo, milkmaid, was toldf
to get all tho milk she could in time for
a dancing party, and bocr.uso she did not

tortured her to sucii an extent that shj
drowned herself in (he creek.
