our warmest support, provided always that we can
approve bit principles. There can be no coume
more censurable in a party man or a political paper
than that of allowing himself or itself to become
the organ of any particular aspirant, merely on per
sonal grounds, or the opponent of any other member
of the party, simply bocause he may stand in the
way of a personal favorite. It is perfect selfishness,
and a sort of insanity, and is well calculated to in
jure the person striven to be benefitted.
There is one reason why we always have been and
always will be very cautious not to commit ourselves
in advance to the support of any particular men for
any particular offices, and we cannot but regret that
all our Democratic organs throughout the Union are
not equally so. Now in Pennsylvania, we find the
leading Democratic presses strongly favor Mr. Bu
chanan. In this they are right enough, for Mr. B.
is worthy of all the honor the people can bestow up
on him. But in their tone of intolerance towards those
who favor other Democrats, they commit what Na
poleon considered worse than a crime a most egre
gious blander, for they raise up factions in the par
ty, and perhaps irritate some portions so much that
even In case Mr. Buchanan wero regularly nomina
ted, he would receive from them but a lukewarm
support.
In spite of all that hoe been said for and against
the different candidates who stand most prominent
on the Democratic side, we hold it next to impoesi
T ble to saywrbo will bothe nominee of the party. We
have our preference, it is true, but were our most bit
4er enemy to be nominated, we would support hint i
we thought him sound.
If there be one thing in the world we like, it is
freedom of opinion and independence in a politician
or a political paper. A Democratic paper for in
itance, is the advocate of broad and general princi
plea, and stauld not be expected to constitute itself
the mere representative of local opinion. If a party
lopes to succeed, it must act in concert and as nn
organized body, ( Anything that disturbs that concert,
impaires the strength and efficiency of the organiza
tion, and should be avoided. Among these disturb
ing causes, is the habit of rtsolving upon all things
under the tun, which seems to be so inevitable an ac
companiment of every sort of meeting. A State Con-
YWtlaa, for ins tance, will be held for the purpose of
consultation and promoting harmony and peace.
DlTcreoces are reconciled and misconceptions ex
tUined; and so a platform is erected upon broad and
liberal grounds. The convention adjourns, and per-

I know not bow to account for such inhuman acts

destroy the finest feelings of nature, while it denies
those delicate sensibilities which belong to cultivat

ignorance, to destroy all that is worth anything in

This letter," I have not a doubt, effectually secured
the union of ihe' whig "and free-soil vote of the Mate,
and the result is, ns announced by telegraph, a whig
victory. L
In connexion with the above letter which shows
the ground upon which the whigs went into the elec
tionwe subjoin the following resolution, adopted by
the democracy in their State convention, held on the
1 Oth of last September:
RetiJvtd, That the democrats of Wisconsin now stand
where all true democrats have stood since 1836 on the plat
form of principles then drawn by that pure and lamented
statesman, Mlas Wright, nnd approved by every National
JJemocratie Conrention since that day. And occupying, as
our party does, this elevated position, we, in their name, re
pudiate all extraneous insues and sectional tests of party
faith, ns pernicious, clannish, and disorganiiing in their tcn
doncy." '

It gives us great pleanure to be enabled to state that
this work has in reality been commenced. On Thurs
day last the corps of Survtyors bejran their labors, over
the low land- lying beyond Point Bruno, it being the
intention of the D rectors to complete as nearly ns pos
sible the survey of the ground least difficult for the
prosecution of their plns in wet weather, before the
winter rains begin. Two routes have been examined
and pronounced perfectly practicable, and both will be
surveyed. The lines of one will extend alonj the
shores of the bay nearly the entire distance, 'vhile the
other traverses the level of higher ground, meeting
with fewer obstructions, or elevations, but crossing a
greater extent of country nnd possesing less adaptabil
ity perhaps to public comfort, taste and convenience,
ban the first hither ol these routes, however, oner
he greatest facilities for the work. The principal
excavations of the entire survey will be required abou!
ight miles from this city, where the present ban Jose
road crosses a high ridge ; at this point the laborers
will be earliest employed, and the character of the soil
i such as to admit of ihe work being carried forward
urine the rainy months. It is this ridjje, which mak-
ng out into the bay, forms the promontory known as
omt Bruno.

passage from an article in ihe Herald, on " Sunday in

" If during the week, the stranger should be sur

tatious style of this immense class, both in their dress
and manner of living, is one of the most striking
characteristrcs of our coun'ry and our age. Nowhere
else in the world can one-tenth of so great a number
of expensive (we do not ko well) dressed women be
seen in the same time or compass as in Broadway on a
fine Sunday morning.. W hen we encountered this bril

money was worth two per cent, a month in Wall et.,
we could not help roughly estimating the enormous

Bark-Bound Trees. The American Agricultural
ist ridicules the idea of slitting the bark of trees with a
knife, as is very common with many persons, when a
tree is considered baik bound, with a viewof making
it grow, It says you might with the same propriety
slit the skin ofa bony, half-starved calf, in turning it
jiLIq pasture, in the spring, in order to add to its
growth, cap is to plants what blood is to animals.
Instead of this course it advises to dig-about and cum
vale the roots of the trees scrape off the rnoss, and
wash the stem or trunk with soap-suds, lie, chamber
slops and the bark will take care of itself. This is
all no doubt true, as experience and philosophy prove
this and on what safer grounds can we got -

I will fftntc one more of the many acts which reflect
so little honor on the perpetrators. In one of the
massacres of a ranchcree, a woman was killed, which,
believe me, has been no very uncommon occurrence.
After the slaughter, she was found with a young
child, about six months old, still sucking at t he breast,
from which it could no longer derive sustenance.
Then arose a debate amongst the soulless ignoram
uses with regard to what was best to be done with
it as though it could be debated at all amongst men,
what to do with n helpless and innocent infant!
Some were in favor of taking it with them to the
settlements, where it could be fed and taken care of.
But the majority wero opposed to it, and they con
cluded to kill the child ana put it out of its misery,
since it would starve to death if they left it. This
being decided upon, the next question was, who
should do it ? All refused except one, who present
ed his gun nnd blew its brains out! I attribute this
deed, as I did the others, to a monstrosity, which I
denominate civilized ignorance. It was nothing but

Scene among the Histrionics. The following
laughable scene took place In a Western city not long
since: The disciples of Thespis undertook to do up
Julius Caesar. Young Wm. 0. was to represent Cae
sar. He did very well until he was brought in unon
the bier ; unfortunately then his bearers happ'enea to
set him with his feet but a few inches from the hot
tove. The defunct Julius stood fire like a marfyr for
a few minutes : but he soon found the heat unbearable,
and in the middle of Brutus's speech began to haul in
his feet under the pail. The olds folks smiled and the
damsels giggled the dead Caesar drew up his knees
the audience laughed the corps turned over the era
tor paused in his harangue the defunct Julius then
sprang up from his bier, and turning to the bearers,
with clenched fist, asked them if they calculated to,
roast him alive ? One long nnd loud harrra then went
forth from every throat in the hall, all except the re
surrectioned Caesar's ; he, after kicking over his bier.and
throwing his robes at the bearers, gathered his citizen's
attire, and left the school house in high dudgeon.

Europe, to the effect that the despots of Austria and
France are making a combined and desperate effort to
defeat the reception of Kossuth by the free people of
