Hourish of trumpets truly alarming. We Imyo

quite ho heavy as a steamboat. The rage for

of late yeurs, and we arc compelled to my there*
Iiuh becu no chuage auspicious to the cause of
Democracy. During the lust pres.dclit.nl con

in this way—but if he earned the* ius.de ol cars

The truth is, our opponents who rely upon
such electioneering mix lleries ns psalm singing,

where than in this Slate the men that till up the

these belong to 'l»c democratic parly, but the

Relief Ftttn.—As we had heard some com
plaints resting upon mere vague rumor, as to
the d'str'.bution of the flir.d contributed 1 by the
liberality of our fellow c't'zons of d fferent
quarti rs for the benefit of the sufferers by the
late d lastrous P.re, we took occasion to call up
on the Secretary of the comm'ttee Mr. Isaac
Will'nmson who at once kindly opeued to ush's
books ami pare all the Information tobed.-sind
on the subject. Tlrs information we shall de
cline to publish in d feronce to the feelings of
those who have been the benefic'ar'.es of the
fund, and at the same time we give our testi
mony to the jud'c'ons manner in wheta it has
been distributed. A large sum has come into
their baud', sufficient to show the churacterist'c
henevolenc 1 of our people, but there were many
to part'c'pate in its lienefits. Hundreds who
we re living comfortably on the 19th day of Ju
ly, in an hour fou"(l themselves utterly desti
tute of shelter, clothing or the means wherewith
to obtain n nv al. The few around the suburbs
who escape d the terrible conflagrnl'on could not.
supply the wants of the many. All without ex
ception however opem el their homes until they
were crowd el with the more helpless part of the
sufferers—women a d chihlreu—a..d a- far as
possible cheerfully n..d hosp tnbly provided for
the m, unt'l new homes could be ra'sed. The
greater part of those who had houses were ye t
not in c'rcumstnncee to entertain so large n
number ns were thrown upon their hands with
out assistance, and the comm'ttee very properly
nppl'i d I be first naans at their d sposal to the
immrd nte and pressing nreess'tiep of th’s class.
Every meritor'ons case wli'ch lias been brought
to the attention of the c> mm'ttee has m t with
a ready relief. Croat cri lit is due to them for
the prudent and discriminating manner in wli'ch
they have dishursed several thousand of dollars
as shown by their account'. The calls upon
them hare now in n great m a»nro casi d and
still thrv he» o qu’te a sum : n their hands und' c

lie For a Monarchy. —The Boston Journal, a
: papa* devoted to the fortunes of that eaterpr.s
ing young mu i, J. C. Fivmo.it, is out ti.it foot
1 ed lor a monarchy. The tone of the paper al-
I ways dec d. diy ar.stocrut c, ha< cnlm.nated in
a positive abhorei ce of Democratic iusl.tut.ons.
Hear what this exponent of mod.ru Fremo..t-
Repuhllcanism has to say;
‘•We are d cd d!y ot opinion that monarchy
and hered tary ino.iarehy is I »y fur the best form
of government that hunia i wndom has a- yet
devisi il for the mini.liistrat o.i of eons denude
oat ous, a.id that it w II always continue to be
the most perfect wli eh human virtue w.ll mi
nt.t of.'’
A full reliance upon the virtue and intelli
gence of the p.oph , has always lieeti the distin
guishing feature of the Democratic party. Re
cognizing all power as originally in the gov
erned, it has restrain d the powers delegated to
government to the fewest a ul most necessary
objects, founded in-the safety and welfare of the
people.
It was the legitimate result of this principle,
which 1, d to the adoption of the Ka isus-N. br.e
ka act—an act wh c!i j> opuses only to leave to
the people in the Terr.tones the regulat o i of
their own domestic institutions. Following out
an Insane pli lo ophy, has 1< d a few mud fanni
es to spit upon our constitution, and tv pud ate
the teachings of the Christian biblc, while others
are fou..d vaunting the beauties of monarchy as
a corn dive for what they fancy to be tiie ev.li*
of republicanism. Tiny would enslave the
world, that Kansas may be “free,” or rather,
they would make slaves of themselves in their
hatred for slavery. Strange fatuity, li the
pursuit of focal excellence, the last resort
should be to that system which debases the mas

The following extracts from the able 1 >tter of
Senator Pearce, of Maryland, w.'.ciimiUMil to
the attention of every in l ily a id sensible old
line Whig. Mr. l’< urce has occupied a d sti.i
gitislud place ia the con ic Is of the nut on for
the last fifteen years. His Influence in tli ■ Slate
which he represents is only equal, d l»y that of
his collogue, the 1 Ini. Tlios. G. l’ratt, also an
old-line Wlvg. who has annou ic d his determina
tion to support Mr. Huclia ia i for the l’r s d ncv.
After the conclusive answer here made to the
charge which iR current, that Mr. Buohauat
conntenunci d tin* ‘'bargain uni corrupt.o i”
slander against Mr. Clay, it will neecj no furth r
refutation. One c'rcumsta ice we may, however,
advert to. as afford ng the closing testimony of
the falsity of the charge wli ell is made against
Mr. Buchanan; a ul that is tli; terms of regard
and respect wh’ch marked the relat'o is of Mr.
Clay and Mr. Buchanan, up to tile last diys of
the Sage of Ashland. Had he not k iown that
the conduct of Mr. Buciia m i was entirely free
from censure, a id in all respects ho u>ruble, Mr.
Clay would have been a:no ig-t the la-t U) pre
serve towards him even the sembla ice of that
cord nlity wh ch exited through iui .y subse
qiient yee.rsj in wh eh they were assoe.aLd in
the Senate. Mr. Pearce remarks:
•I have been politically opposed to the Demo
crat.c parly for so many years mat 1 can..ot
Without reluctance contemplate the ntcesndy ui
supporting tlimr nominee. Vet it must be ad
mit d that he is a man of abilities a ul large
publ e i xper.ence ; that he has Is on just to the
South, though not assuming to Ire a Northern
man w til Southern princ plus; that h.s inclina
tions are generally co e-erv at; ve; that he num
bers among li s prominent Hippoit .rs in i y
gentlemen of tulle.its a..d pati oi e chuiaclii .
e.it tl d not only t< t i teni.d.-. ci oi tbe.r p. r;;.
but to influence w.tli the con dry at large ; a '.u
that many of the old issues b. tween the Wh gs
a .d Di mocrats are oh ol t ■. Two ohj ct.o.is to
h m are m ich filled o i ly lis oppo ici.ts in tile
South. It has bee.i tilled gi d that lie cm itc.rn ic
ed a.id pronmlgat. d the charge of bargain and
corrupt on against Mr. Clay in the elect o.i l*y
the House of 11. preseutatives in lhen. I sho t.d
denounce h m for this as r ad ly a .d .vs sever Iv
us any one if 1 thought this allegation just. But
I remember that this charge against Mr. Clay
was_ mude without any d net test niony unt.l
18-7, when the Carter Beverly letti r 1 d to Mr.
Buchanan being nam< d as a Witness, a id that lie
then promptly dene d the stab meut wh ch he
was ri In d on to prove, a ul. at the r.i-k of losing
Gen. Jackson’s favor a id that of Ilia party, ex
onerat.d Mr. Clay. From the letter wh ch be
“I owe it to my own character to make another
observation, llad I ever k io\vn, or even sus
pected that Gen. Jackson believed I had been
sent to-him by Mr. Clay, or his friends, I should
have immed.utely corrected his erroneous im
pression, and tnus prevented the necessity for
inis most unpleasant explanation. When the
id tor of the L'a.teJ Statei lelejrajth, on tile 1-th
of Ootolver last, aked me by Utter for informa
tion upon this subject, 1 promptly informed him
by the returning mu.l, on the iota of that month
that I had no author.ty from Mr. Clay, or Ins
fr.ends to propose a..y terms to General Jackson
in ivlut o.i to their votes, nor dd 1 ever make
any such propos t on ; a id that I trusted 1 ! would
lie as incapable of becoming ti messenger upon
such a.i occasion, as it was k iow.i Gjii. Jack on
would be to r, c ive such a message. 1 have
deem d .t mcessiry to make tiiis statement in
order to remove any in scone pt.o.i wh.ch may
have been occasion d by the pnbl cat o i in tin
Tilejraph of my letter to the ed tor, dated the
lltti ult.mo."
Ago ti. in 18 8, in a speech d livcrid in the
House of Representatives, Mr. Buchanan de
clared that he nail no knowledge of toe bargain
and corruption charged o.i Mr, C.ay. These
disavowals may be cons d red as met - . !y cold
just.ee to the great a..d incorruptible Whig lead
er, but surely th. y co.itrad ct most tiatly the
charge of. beuig his 1- trad cer and detainer.” if
further proof were ne.d d, it may be found in
the following remarks ivee tly made in Ken
tucky, by Mr. James it. Clay, h.s son:
“Mr. Clay then proceed d to urge upon his
old Whig friend J , the comp.i i:o is a id constitu
ents of his father, to rally aroit id that banner
which he had eptnt hislje in u/ihuhlinj —the ba liter

the resum ct on. lint ut present there was no
Whig organ /at on, and the only party of the
L'ii on was that of \vh cli Mr. Bucha.iun and

Mr. liuclta .an in the charge of bargain iv.nl cor
