Q7'Planters in want of seed cane, are re

CncsT, in another column,

STILL. THIIEY COME !-The Young drncria, is
the name of a spicy little sheet just establish
el at Bonnet Carre. It hoists the flag of Fn.i.
tIonE and DONELSON, and judging from the
number before us, is bound to do good service
in the cause of American principles. The
Young Anmerica has our most cordial wishes
for prosperity, and a "big pocket full of rocks.':
Tin WAY IHE Ru:s.-An attempt was
made to form a Fillmore Club in Pittsburg. a
few days ago, and to begin with. 1000 names
were enrulled.-Rather a good beginning
that.
FILL1rOH E Is Oiro.-Ohio is all alive, now
*wth Americans. They had a very imposing
demonstration for Fillmore at Cleveland. on
the evening of the 31st. Senator Putman
& . and Gco Scroggs,. of New York, were among
the speakers. The utmost enthusiasm was
evinced.
MIa. FI.L3nrE jN RIIODE ISLAND.-An'en
thusiastic Fillnore meeting was recently held
in Providence. It was then determined to
hold a State convention in Newport, on the
2d of September, for the purpose of nomin
ting a Fillmore electoral ticket in the State
of Rhode Island.
[t 'The only question, says the Baltimore
Clipper, for Marylanders to decide is, which
of the two cardidates. Fillmore or Buchanan.
should be proferred by them, leaving Fre
mont totally out of the contest, so far asrela.
tea to this? Fillmore comes before us re
commended by a public career entirely un
exceptionable. He stands upon national
ground now as he did when be was President
and he is pledged to make his administration.
if elected, natio.al-neither going with the
South against the North nor with the North
against the South. Is not this the kind of
man that should be disired by the nation' -
Should not the Whigs of the country vote for
him ?
Omro is COM.NG.-A prominent ex-Member
of Congress from h1:io. of the Democratic
party, now in New York, gives it as his opin
ion that Fillmore will carry Ohio! The Bu
chanan men in that State are rapidly coming
over to the National candidate. They cannot
stand Squatter Sovereignty and the Ostend
doctrine.
jY- There has been no rain in De Soto
county, Tennessee, for seven weeks. All
vegetation has parched tosuch a degree that
t'iere is not only nolprospect for crops, but
,Ls catt'e are suffering for food.
ecdce: : Democracy.
The mo.t transparent huimb'g ever inven
ted, is thatof muoderu DLemocracy. IkBrnum
and his woolly iorse are nowhere, in corn- a
parison, for while the latter have some of the tl
appearances of genuineness, the former pos- s
sesses no resemiilance to the original true i
c o in . Ic
There was a time iz:en the Democratic e
party prided itself upon its nationality ml n e
its devotion to principle. but that iarty no .I
longer exisis, or if it exist, it resembles the ti
original only in name--"tio the victor belong a
the spoils." constitutes the whole creed oti !
modern D])emlocracy. in its estimation, the
peace. prosperity and happinessof the country st
are c-onsiderations5of no importance, or alto
cgther secondary to that all-sorbing one, the I
'i oavesand lishes,-. For proofiof what we say. b
we have need to refer only to the hist,.r\ of the p
last three years past. When 31r. Pierce as- I
sumied the reigns of Governmeniiiit. everything t
-eemed to be prolitirts. Our d,,mestic rela- iel
tions were never in a Imore p rosperous connli- i1
tion. Peace reigned it home and abroatl-- a
the D)em;ocracv were largely in the -ccen- Ir
dency in both branches of CLongre.s. holting I.1
the unlimited control of ee cry departmn.:t T
of the Governlment, and what was the re- sI
suilt ?
l.oc k abroad over the country and lbeh!l i i
the censequencs. Instead of a continuation h
of the blessings of peace and prosperity. the i:
coucoomitaits of all good government. we sec iio
nothing but disicord and sectional strife: if t!
we turn our eves toward a neighboring terri- F
tory we behold all the horrors of civil w:r. ti
Who is responsible for such a deplorablP state pl
of things. 31r. Pierce ? No! the De:mo- l1
cratic party roust bear the blame, bIr the bi
President has been but a mere tool i i thtir u
handi. and consequently not answerable fir I i:
the "reign of terror,' that, at tnis moment. i!,
threatens our beloved country, with a fa- a.
similar to that which befell the republics of th
the Old World. C,
Scarcely was the Pierce dynasty inaugura- W\
ted. when the train was set which hiis pro- 31
duced all these disaslers. The Ne,,ras-Kan cv
sas bill, was the Pandora's box fim vib:ir!, ttl
sprung most of the evils, that are preying vi
upon our very vitals. and this bil was con- of
ceived and executed by that quintesceice ofvi ar
demagogmeism. Stephen A. DoJuglas. for no tIf
other purpose and lwith no otier view, than
that of securing a title to the svccession.
The stake for which he played was the high- a
est office in the gift of the people, and the th
:new light" democracy seconded iii anibi- F
tious efforts with shouts of approbation.-
They pronounced the Nebraska-Kansas bill
the most magnificent conception of the hu
man mind and worthy of becoming the test w
of modern democracy. But to cap the climax.
after the worst predictions of those who op- of
posed the measure had beome fully verified.
we find this same democracy endorsing it in en
their Cincinnati platform. as a part and par
cel of the Democratic creed. and immediately
afterward, in the Senate of the United States.
repudiating some of its most importani fiea
tures. And here the question naturally ha
artir s, what is the leal for and .o~fe- f
& arises, what is the legal force and effect o:
re this modification of the original act, by Con
gress.
The original act is no longer in existence.
is hence the plank of the platioiin endoising it
1 is rendered void by the act of the very de
. mocracy who erected, the platform. But wi
ie find the democracy throngh their representa
e tives in Congress, playing other fantastic
ie tricks with their platform. which offird fur
,s ther evidence of its humbugging propensites.
The platform declares the Democratic party
to be opposed to internal improvements by
is the general government. The Democratic
a members of Congress in the face of this de
claration and the disappoval of the President
pass any quantity of internal improvement
bills, and that too, without blushing at their
outragous hypocracy. Such is modern de
mocracy itself, its downfall is near at hand.
The hand writing which discloses its doom
may already be seen upon the wall. Nor is
n a second Daniel required to interprit et. He.
g who will take the trouble to look, may read
is and understand. So mote it be.
EXCIvrTEMJ T is MOBILE.-It had become
public that the large book establishment in
Mobile. of Messrs. Strickland 8: Upson, had
been the means of the distribution of a consi
derable number of incendiary publications
among the negroes. One by Fred Douglas
a most inlamnous publication-had been pri
vately sold by these parties to slaves.
A meeting of citizens was called and Mr.
Strickland was summoned to make his de
fense. After a full investigation, both of the
parties were warned to leave the:city within
five days, or they might not be safe from pop
ular indignation. It is said they have taken
worning and left the city. Our friends of
Mobile acted, we think, with much discre
tion in this matter.
e A MONSTER Mlass MEETING.-The Balti
h more Patriot of the Ilth intant, states that a
of mass meeting of the friends of Fillmore was
held in Frederick city, Md., on the previous
sr Saturday which was attended by twenty thou
sand people! It was the largest and most
enthusiastic meeting of any description ever
sr held in Frederick. Among the speakers
ic were the Hon. J. S. Carlisle, of Virgina, Hon
1- Trippe of Georgia, M:r. Wallace, State Flec
S. tor of Maryland,etc. This is the way the
ig people are coming to the rescue of the coun
t try by the support of Mr. Fillmore, as the im
Id minency of the crisis becomes more and more
apparent, and all that we hold dear as a peo
ple, placed in jeopardy. The politicians may
to get out ofthe:wayof the avalanche of the peo
11 ple. and let it pass or stand before it, and be
it crushed, just as they choose. For the good of
ut the country,, we could hope they would pur
sue the latter course.

TIE ADDRESS orF TIE CENZTrAL. COrrrIrT
TEE OF TIEII DEIroIoC.cY.-Tlhis document
contains some suggestive paragraphs. For
the present it is sul'icient to call attention to
the following:
"Its history (that of the American party.)
- though short, is one of prir-:iples perverted.
of pledges repudiated. Pronnl.gating the
axiom that "the office should seek the man.
and not the man the office, it has presented
a lust for office and office-luntingi having no
-arallel in this or any other country.'
W\'hen the American party rose in our city
t and State, says the Ni. O. Ccole. almost in a
day to power and commalndirng position, every
i old politician, down to those pensioned off by
f the Democracy, rushed into its ranks. Their
enthusiasm was such that you mighut almost
suppose a resurrection of dry bones had taken
place, the worn out effigies of manhood putt
ing on the very flush and vigor of youth.
But the cause of this wonderful change was
soon apparent. They--many of the recruits
from the Democracy-proved to be mere of
fice-hunters intead of patriots. They joined
t the American party to rule and profit by it,
not through patriotism or a love of principle
"lThey-the old leaders of the Democracy-
were the men who, in the American ranks,
showed an inordinate lust for office. The
honesty and determination of themasses curb
ed their ambition-restrained their aspirations
-and now where are they? Gone back to
to the party whose motto is "to the victors
belongs the spoils" of office. Not one of the
long list of men who have made themselves
notorious for their open withdrawal from the
A merican party, but what was a disappointed
f man. This lusting for officeis norf to be
found in the Democratic ranks for which
it came out, and where it naturally belongs.

The . 'a -hiigton correspondent of the N. O.

The Hlouse yesterday again over-ruled a
t Presidential vetod a river and harbor bill.
Iv t has becomne almost a daily occurrence now'
for C(ongress to pass these bills over the veto
of the President. It is indeed a curious cir
cnmstance, when we reflect that he was elec
ted by th votes of every State in the Union
but four. and went into tihe Presidency with
t sweeping majorities in both houses of Cou
gress; but it is only another illustration of
the folly of elevating weak men to oltfice, and
o the uncertainty of popular sentiment. lnas
much as there are not ten days remainingl
hefore the adjournment. it is supposed that
any fiirtheriiiprovemient bills that may be
e passed will be quietly met with a pocket veto

VANIA.-Frorn all palts of the interior of this
v State. says the Penn-ylvania Nrws, the iintel
a ligence is of the most cheering and gritilv
y ing charhcter. Our march is onward. Con
y tidence has taken the place of doubt, and
r from one end of the State to the other, there
t has been aroused a feeling that must lead to
n victory.
The entire conservative vote of the coun
try, embracing the very bone and sinew of
s the nation, will unidoubtedly be cast in his
s favor-nor will, so far as we can see, any
feeling of policy or expediency induce his
I friends to swerve from his support.
AMERICAN VIcroaRY I Viin. vitl.\.-At an
election for Magistrate in the second election
district of Frederisk county, Virginia, held
on Saturday last, Smith, American, was elect
ed by 12 majority. The result is important,
because the district has hitherto been uniform
s ly "Democratic" by a hundred majority; and
if it is to be considered as indicative of the
reformation in popular sentiment now going
oin throughout the country, Virginia may be

Wurt T'rEY Din IT.--The New York Jour
nal of Commerce says that the Democracy in
,n the Senate disqualified foreigners from voting
in Kansas because it was important to pass
d the bill and "in no other way could it obtain
t- the votes of the American party." In other
t, words, that the Democracy threw their pecu
n liar friends the foreigners, overboard, the
il very first time it became necessary to get
e votes! What have the foreigners to say to
this sort of treatment? The Democratic
e press at the South so far as we have seen,
are mnum on the subject.

Some years ago, when the narrow skirts

certain good people built a church up toms
In order to get as many seats as possible,the

occassioned great inconvenience of late; bu
was got along with as well as possible, until
a few weeks since, when four ladies, wearing
those huge whalebone skirts, became wedg
ed in cnue of the slips, and were drawn oit
with great difticulty. The trustees had a
mectiig. and at once resolved to come up to
the age. and workmen are now busily engag

I7'We learn from the Boston Atlas that
they "are talking of getting up a rWe.lat

A PnEDICTIOa.-Predictions in regard to
politicsl events to come, are entitled to very
little weight, unless they are based upon
careful reasoning and sound data. In the
House of Representatives, a few days sinac,
the Hon. Humphrey Marshall declared he
would "stake his reputation on the asertion
that Fillmore would carry seven, if not tee,
of the Southern States.'"
Col. M3., is a reflecting and well informed
politician, and is a man who would be the
last to iudtul-e in random sneculations.
NEW JERSEY.---The Fremonptists have
given up all hope of New Jersey. That
