The Northern Democracy.
While we are unable to shut our eyes to the
fact of the fanatical mania that has entered
the political arena, and made a clean.sweep in
the late elections, has included in its votaries
a good many democrats, it would be ungene
rous and mean, not to do justice to those good
and true men of the Democratic party, who
have been true to the great constitational prin,
ciples which form the basis of their party's
creed.
The Northern Democratic party that was
defeated in the recent elections by the confede
rated isos that has sprung up, has not swerved
one jot or tittle from the principles' which
should be the basis of a union between south.
ern men. In those elections in which it has
been defeated, it stood up for those very prin
ciples. Altbough beaten, it still stands by
them. Those Northern Democrats have prov
ed themselves, both in victory and defeat, true
to the Constitution, true to State equality,
true to their southern brethren. Under these
circumstances, is it proper, is it generous, is it
jut, in any paper or any man at the Soutbh,
whether Whig or Democrat, to place them on
the same platform with the false Democrats,
whom they voluntarily abandoned, or the abo
litionized Whigs wbom the southern Whig
leaders have denounced and abandoned? For
our part, we cling to such men with a tenacity
that nothing can break. The Whigs of the
south may denounce them, but they were true
to the south when the Whigs of that section
were controlled by their more numerous Abo
lition allies of the North. Many of them have
been sacrificed for their devotion to the consti- I
tutional principles for which the south contends;
and yet southern Democrats are asked to aban
don them. This they will never do. They
will promptly cut themselves off from all taint-'
ed Democrats, but their tried and noble Dem- i
ocratic friends of the North, they will adhere i
to, cherish and defend. I
8panish View of the International
Question.
Certain members of the Spanish Cortes,
addressed a letter to a public journal, iii
which they attribited to Mr. Soule, the opin'
ion, or at least the impression that a rap
tare between Spain and the United States
was inevitable, and the pretext assigned in
the letter is an alleged failure by tl)e Gov.
ernment of Spain to extend towards Mr.
Soule and the country which he represents
the eonsideration to which they were enti
tied.
"Cotemporaneously with this letter a
pamphlet has appeared in which an effort
Is made to throw upon fihe Spanish Govern.
ment the responsibility of the complications
which exists between the two countries; or
at all events, the responsibility of having
failed to give theseo complications a solution.
In this pamphlet there is attributed to Mr.
Soule a benevolent disposition towards
Spain; so extreme indeed as to be almost in
consistent with his maintaining the interests
of his own country."
This matter was brought up in a debate
between Sir Rances and Sir Luzariaga, the
Minister of Fordgn affaiirs. During t e
speech of the latter, after disclaiming any
discourtesy shown to Mr. Soule, either on
the part of the Ministry or the Government,
he expressed sentiments and intentions cred
itable to himself and the Government he
represents. The Minister remarked:
"Under these circumstances, gentlemen,
the Government of her Majesty received
the information t which I have alluded,
and being now able to proceed according
to its own free wil before the eyes of the
world, has directed aUthe quest now pend.
ing with the Govetment of the United States
tobe studiously go* over anew, and has laid
down as the prnndples on which its investi
gations are to be tonducted, not an endeav
or to seek argumests against the claims of
the United States, but a fair effort to ascer
Itain what is just, it order that when ascer
tained it may be conceded, and conceded
spontaneously andfreely. This Government
I repeat has resolved of its own accord to yield
to whatever is just, md to yield without press
ure. It is confidem of meeting the sae sen
timents on the partof the Government of the
United States: Thdr President had address
ed the House of Representatives in the
same spirit, declarng that justice is his only
object.
The two nationsare thus of one accord,
and being both sheerely so,' this Govern
ment cherishes an abiding hope of arriving
at an entirely peanful solution, I say an
abiding hope, becamse gentlemen, in refer
ence to this affair sad to all others which
may be presented lere, I frankly announce
to the Cortes that whilst I have the honor
to direct the foreip. policy of this nation
I shall be governei by the dictates of good
sense and of justice, by the principle that
they should yield vho are not in the right.
When I am persualed, in any controversy
that my country isaot in the right, I believe
that I bring her in dishonor, that I dero
gate in nothing fom her dignity, by saying
that I yield. In such a course there is
strength and not reakness. It is thus that
amicable relation are to be maintained
with other countries; it is thus that we shall
establish our rigit to exact justice from
other Govcrnmens in their dealings with
us.
I cherish then,the hope that these ques
tions will have a paceful ending, and I cher
ish it the more boause the American people
-the true Amerian people--are of gener
ous and elevated sentiments and between
two great nationt having such sentiments
in common, thereare a thousand motives for
cordial sympath;. Under these circumn
stances, genttema, the passionate influences
being removed, Muich, from their irritation,
are so baneful tothe intercourse of nations
all foundation fozdoubt, suspicion, and pre
judice will disapear, as the good of both
countries so impratively demands that it
should. I trust inat the wishes of the hon
orable Deputy ill then be satisfactorily
accomplished."
THE SCARCITY OF BREADSTUFFS AND
MEATS.-ThI sheat harvest of last year is
beginning to reval itself now very striking
ly. The N. Y. Iost says that the opening
of navigation doe not add to the supplies;
on the contrary, tie dealers of Albany and
Troy are making purchases of wheat in the
Now York marka. The Post adds:
"The stock of wheat is reduced to 25,
000 bushels, nearV all southern and Cana
dian. When thecanals open, it is not ex
pected that the sullies will be heavy, either
from Canada or he upper Lakes, whence
only supplies can' - had. No supplies of
grain or flour can come from Ohio or the
interior of this Site, so that the sources of
supply until after text harvest, are very lim
ited. There are to receipts of importance
via New Orleans, Lad the supplies of South
ern flour are lightfur a want of wheat to
grind. Prices, tlomefore instead of falling
when navigation opens, are likely to be
fully maintained f they do not actually
rise.
"The great scarity of feed for hogs is,
we observe, greatlr diminishing the number
of hogs in the country, especially in Illinois,
and will produce ! serious effect, by and by
in the price of previsions. The immediate
result, has been horever, in sending more
hin' nnd ho'r flesh o market. More fresh
pork has boon consumed this winter than
usual, vad has considerable influence in
checking the prices of other meat."
"DON'T Woams."-This is the first thing
an editor should get by heart. If Mr. 81o
cum threatens to withdraw his patronage,
because you criticise Professor Drawl's leo
ture on the onion question, don't worry
but tell him to go ahead and do it. If Mr.
Bullion writes you an insulting letter say.
ing if you do not stop writing about the
Diddleton Railroad he will ruin you with
a lawsuit-don't worry, but dare him to try
it on. If Mr. Smith threatens to "cave
your head in" because you mention that
"his son, Bob," was sent to the tombs for
pelting a street lamp with brick batse-don't
worry, but tell him you so lovelaw that you
dine on a sallad made of red tape and seal
ing wax. If Mr. Silk approaches with a
horse pistol "that kicks," and offers to blow
your brains out if you ever allude again to
his visits to Mrs. Demures, don't worry
about it but tell him to pull its " what you
call it," and blaze away. Again say, never
worry. If you do you are no more calcu.
lated for an editor than a Quaker is for
marine hornpipes.
