Soroeof our Democrfltlo.exchajaees place, and the tK day of July, of this year, aa the time for " the assembling of the National Democratic Conven tion, for the nomination of candidates or President and Vice-President. We heartily concur in this suggestion, and wjll go farther and say that it would be a grand idea to have a new Declar A.-.-v --..k. W: ...y---- - anon oi maepenaence, proclaim ea to he people of the United States, by the National ' Pemocratic party, on that ay : a Declaration against Credit-Mor bilierjobs; against the official mis management of the party in power for the past fifteen years; against the nepotism of the Presidential incum bent; against the government rings, who have been running the machine ately: against centralization, and in favor of the equality of the States; a Declaration which will give us reform, economy and retrenchment in tbej pending of the peoples' money, both State and National ; and above all, a Declaration in favor of reconciliation and lasting peace between the sections of the country. It seems .to us that with the . light and experience of the past hundred . M . A O yean, . the v?nser?ative elements oi the country, in making this new Decla ration, wonld have much to guide them, toward the haven of good gov ernment, andlt would be eminently proper for the grand National Demo cratic party to send up its grievances to the highest tribunal known to the system of - American politics the American people and ask them to give us Detter times, Deuer govern ment, and more confidence among ourselves in the stability ol our gov ernment. To go further, let that Convention put the candidates, for the two highest offices within the gift of the people upon this platform, and let every hon est man in this broad land, rally to the support of the men, and the platform, and give us such a victory, over fanatic ism and Radicalism as the world has never seen. A FLEA FOR THE MERCHANT. v -? ' -' There is probably no subject which is nm-represented in a grsater degree than the status, of the merchant to ward the people who generally array themselves on the other side. For in stance, the cotton buyers of this city who are to that extent, merchants, have conferred inestimable benefits, during the last twenty years, upon this community. The average farmer toils and struggles through the year to make five, ten or twenty bales . of cotton, when his crop is ginned and packed he can put his labor and the product of his soil, to no conceivable use until be can find some one who will buy it. When he reaches the cotton buyer, and con Verts his product into cash, he then has a commodity which is sought after by every other person, and the result of his summer's, work, at once becomes available.' But still his oppor tunities to snppiy nis wants are ex tremely limited, either for the neces saries or luxuries of life, until he comes fairly, face to' face; with the man who buys and sells. He is really the mid dle-man who stands between the pro ducer and the'; consumer,' and if be does .',hia duly '.towards both, he is a public benefactor, instead of the lying shylock or skmSint, which is the light he is looked lUpon generally in public estimation. Money is the representative of labor, A dollar represents that the holder, or some one else, actually did labor to the amount of that dollar, whether it be its? fractional part, or its multiple. uneman -pots me money in u lauua another into bonds, while a third in- "! 1-.'.. ' - 1 i j; - in 1. vests nis in mercaanuizin?. xacu gives his personal attention to his in Vestment,- and takes his chances to win or lose. Our theory is, that all three must necessarily go hand in hand, and whatever benefits one, in a genera sense ought to benefit all. When the man who invests in land makes abund ant crops, the merchant will share in his prosperity, and when both prosper, the man who has invested , in some other manner of making a liviog, or of adding' to his wealth will likewise share in the prosperity of both.

So, Mr. Holman's friends may do their worst, if so inclined.- The most they can do is to precipitate a consolidated em pire, and that is exactly what the South always predicted as the conse quence of an Abolition war fought out principally by Democrats, who were blind tools at the time, and who are afraid or ashamed to acknowledge their blander at this date." Description oft the Dismal Swamp. Alex. Huntel, the brilliant Southern correspondent cf the Forest and Stream, writes up the Dismal Swamp in its last number. We copy a brief ex tract: "So unlike any other place, so weird, strangely solemn, so utterly still and silent, that it . inspires the traveler with a nameless awe ana an in tense fascination. The immense cy- fress trees, with bare trunks and mter acing boughs, stand like pillars sup porting a fretted dome in some vast cathedral, and the dim aisles stretch away oft all around you and powerful ly excite imagination. One can stand and imagine himself in Avernus, con demned to wander through a vast unpeopled shade all alone: doomed to beseeking,some object sentiment with life, but never nnding it; loilowed by grim remorse wnerever ne nea, ever by his side, ana never leaving mm, except when his crime was expiated De Quincey, in hia confession of an 'Opium .Eater , draws just sucn a pic ture. He believed that he had com mitted such a great sin that even the crocodiles shuddered when tbey heard it; and he dreamed that he was hunt ed by Bramah. the Hindoo god, through the forest, the jungles and swamps ol tne maies, duc nnaing no rest. "It was as late as the Revolutionary- war that a hunter named Drummend first discovered this lake. It seems he went hunting one day, and allured by the wounding of a bear, he followed the trail far in the interior, until he hopelessly lost his way. He was the first white man whose footsteps ever trod this unknown land, and he must have been terribly frightened, for tra dition, rumor and superstition had made this swamp a veritable encnant ed land, within whose realms dwelt warlocks, witches and goblins, and such uncanny beings. There were tales told, too, of vast wild animals of surpassing strength and fierceness, the like of which mortal eyes never saw before. The whole place was peo pled by only an immortal race. One cannot help fancying his feelings dur ing his three day's wandering, his constant action and incessant struggles and at last a helpless despair at ever getting out of the labyrinth, and then . . . i -ii- i . i i . nis ecstasy ana aeiignt wnen ne an last discovered the lake, placid in its beauty, and gleaming like gold in the sunlight. Lake Drummond is a splen did sheet of water, and is oral in shape. It is seven miles long and lour miles wide. There is no beach whatever, the forest growing clear up to its boundaries. "The water looks black, but when examined in a class it is the coler of litrht wine. It is tinted and tinc tured by juniper and gum leaves, and other decaying vegetable matter. This water is considered a fine medio inal drink; and invalids afflicted with pulmonary diseases have often been so benefited by it as to remain several months in the vicinity where they would have daily access to its health eiyine waters. Another peculiarity is, that it keeps puro for a great length of time, and is otten usea by snips going on a long voyage, who have their water caske filled from Lake Drum mond. A popular delusion was that this lake had no bottom, but Commo dore Barron of the United States Navv once sounded it, and the great est depth in the middle was only fifteen feet, the average being ten feet The bottom 18 generally composed of mud, but sometimes oi pure sand." white Bristow.

Ex cept that we should wish to put Blaine before Morton we would not q.uarrei about the nuttine the names in this order. But it will be reversed i. e with Blaine leading. Briatow is rigid and doematic. but he is the most hon est of them all, and that we fear is the reason why he stands the least chance Richmond Dispatch. The. Legislature of Massachusetts has a case before it similar to one which made its. appearance before a Michigan' Leeislature some years since. Mr. Moses H.

There is a lie out somewhere. Speakeb Kerb's Letter. The. wide comment en Speaker Kerr's letter to Mr. J. H. Reall, of Philadelphia, has induced that gentleman to state that he did not regard himself as breaking confidence when he made the letter, public. It was in answer to an article contained in a newspaper, and .par took of the nature of ah "open letter," with which the community at large have been made 60 familiar of late. He regrets exceedingly that the publi- uatiuns onue episiie snouia in any way damage Gov. Hendrick's chances for the presidential nomination, but thinks if Mr. Kerr is for Hendricks he should not be ashamed to acknowl edge the fact. Whipper, the negro judge of South Carolina, has a very bad record in Mi lan, Michigan, where he once resided when he was an obscure day laborer. While in' that place he secured the as sistance of a number of colored breth ren, cleared the timber off 160 acres of land, sold it, pocketed the money and sloped, leaving his colored assistants penniless, and the owner of the land in a very disturbed, state of mind. Whipper has continued that kind of work since he became a carpet-bagger Louisville Courier-Journal. A lady ape died in Dresden recently As Director Schopi (the director of the gardens) leaned oyer his favorite, the ape drew him toward her, placed her arm around the-jieck of her friend and looked at him for some time with clear and tranquil eyes: she then kiss ed him three times, with short inter vals between each salute, motioned to be laid on her couch, gave her hand to Schopf as though biddiug farewell to a companion of many happy years and slept never to awake again. When Mrs. Whittlesey, the North ampton cashier's wife, saw the bur glars take her husband's gold watch she kicked hers under the bureau and so saved it. And when her new cloak was in the robbers' hands she said "Give me that old thing; I'm cold ;" and saved that likewise. If this keen witted woman could haye been at the bank when the vault was opened she would have persuaded the robbers that half those papers, were nothing but family milk-bills.-Prowdence Press.
