giving a little galvanic life and animation to
rutu:e fanatical opinions, springing; up Tor a'
dayto agitate the country, and then passing
imo oblivion. In reviewing the history of the
whig party, its rise, progress, and fall, we
cannot but be impressed with the troth that,
no psr.ty can exist for any length of time in
this country, unless its principles are strictly
national! No organization jon live, and pan
der to all the sectional interests which may
spring up. No party can embrace all the isms
of the time and survive. In gathering in al1
kinds, of ever7 faith and opinion, too much
explosive matter isaccurrulai'ed, and although
for a season the latent fires may be smothered
yet they must a a natural consequenee ex
plode, and blow the party or body containing
them, "tlcy high!" So it has been with the'
whig party. So it will be with any party which
pursues a similar course. The Democracy, by
tefusing at all 1 mes to "uf," ,hd (landing
upon national principles, has outridden all op
position, and will continue to be triumphant,
whenever the sober second thought prevails,
so long as nntionnlily marks the conduct of its
renresenia'.ives end its course, of policy. , We
trust in God that the democratic party may al
ways remain true lo the country and ,ils own
future. Republican and American in princi
ple, the democratic par.y must in the future,
as it has in the past, prove the salvation of
this countiy and guide its onward and up
ward course in prosperity. We hold that no
true American enn beanylbing else than
democrat ! Republicanism and democracy
are twin brothers, and no man horn-in this free
and haopy country, can be I rue Id his. birth
place and Ins birth-right, unless lie is true
his country and her institutions'. No man who
has chosen this land as his home, can be true
to himself and the interests pf his adopted
country, unless he supports the genius ofour
institutions, and in so doing, as a natural con
sequence lie becomes a democrat and true
American. We hold '.hot the democratic par
ty is the only true American parly, the proTes
sinn of all others tothe contrary noiwi'.hsiand-
ing. You might as well call a (f'e'polism
republic, as to attempt to administers Repub
lican form of government, npon any 'Other
than democratic princinles. We stand upon
i he broad pla'fprmof democracy, and with
the banner of true Americanism Hosting over
us in the breeze, shall ever be f una ailvoea

ests ofour country. We say "our country,

The Chicag V Times says of Gov. Wit.uap,
that
The moment he attempted to show that the
Nebraska and Kausaa aot was framed pu ely
upon that prin iple, the same disorderly gang
of Abolitionist rowdies who, the week before
hud insulted Judge Douglas, as if by concert,
commenced biaying, bleating, groaning,, yel
ling and hooting. lSese elegant performan
ces, woicn evidently were most natural to
those engaged in them, were relieved of their
monotony by such cries as "That's a lie,"
"You get down," "Kick him- out,1
"Shut
him up," "Kub his head with a brick," cel.,
each of these choice remarks elioiling from Hi
rowdies hurrahs, stamping of feet, and other
marks oi approbation.
What kind of a people have they in that
city, that tfuch infamous conduct should be
toleratsd a eecond time ? Have the National
Democracy there no spirit, no respect for city
'or self courage? The Ohio river would (loot
very soon with such stinking garbage, should
an attempt like that ever be mule in Cincinnati.

Three hundred freemen, from Marsachnxetls
and Ntw York, passed through Albany, a few
days ago.on their way toKansas;and from ma
ny other quarters we hear of like movements
Kansasand Nebraska are rapidly filling np with
an enterprising, industrious class of men from
the Northern States, who take wiib ibem all
the implements of farming, as well as type and
printing presses, to spread intelligence over
the new territor es. The Abolition fanatics
don't like these movements of the people, as
they clearly prove that all the stories in itla-
lion to Kansas and Nebraska going to be Slave
States, are silly falsehoods, circulated . for the
sole purpose of keeping alive abolitionism and
fanaticism. -'

Rivers and Hatbors, aud laat and most ludic
rous, the brilliant exploit of bombarding and
burning the ('efenceless nnd deserted hamlet
of Greytown, all of which measures wereex1
clusively designed and intended for the pro
motion of sectional Southern interests and the

behind, and so one of the Indians, a Minnee--
oha; shot it down; and. with, his companions,
ate it up. The Mormans 'then went to the
fort and reported that the Indjana. had killed
one or their cowa. On the 19tb, about 2
o'clock in the afternoon, Lieut: Grattan, with,
a command of twenty -bbvco- soldier, and
August Luoien, interpreter, arrived ber to
arrest the iudian who had killed the edw. I
accordingly sent for the chiefs to go wifH the

By this time a party had collected'out side
