Discovery of Golden Images, Gods, &c,
in Indian Tombs.
- Much excitement hasbjjenocettsiort'
edat Panama and on thej IstliTnus by
iht accidental opening of Iii'cfia'n graves
in the Cfiiriqui district, and the dis
covery 6f large quantity c-f golden
images, gods, &c. As there are sup
posed to be many thousands of these
graves, equally wealthy, many hun
dreds of persons bad gone: thither, and
already many thousands of dollars
worth had been taken out and sent to
.Panama. t .
.' The Panama Star publishes a letter
from the grave diggings, stating that
u'ver a thousand persons ittt working
in the disltrict of Eoqueran at the pla
ces called! Mamudo and Bugalita in
opening the "IIuacos'(Iidian graves)
there, and it is calculatedjthat at least
nine arfoas,: (225 b.) of! ffne gold of
uiu uest lift unu lumuaga mavcueencx
tracted.
Anothea Jetter in the same paper
says : "I saw -$10,000 wrth in the
hands of one man alone, and there are
o'tKers wha have still m'ore. There Jive
, millions o i these graves all over tlie
country n this province, and also
throughout Central America, enough
to employ tliousands of mjen for many
years.' It jis only three wejeks since the
digging, commenced, anil the amount
ef wrought gold discoveredis enormous.
The letter goes on to say that agri
culture is quite deserted, jind that pro
visions, iiquors, clothing and tools
would finij a good market J

brotherhood, inspired by one grand
afttl enn'tbHirt1 sentiment, actuated by
tihe single pa'tric'tic d?es?re to arrest the
progress of the despbi'ler and save the
country from inevitable ruin. They
fought bravery; hftncf to. hand nobly,

freemen know how to fight -patrioti
cally, with the fire of the love of coun
try burning in souls incapable of a feel
ih n'arro, and small, and rn'an e-
nough to have any reference to self.
So they battled, and their victory is
acomplete, a noble, a glorious one.-
The grand trophy of the combat is a
gigantic step towards the re-establish

But the game was carried too far
to accomplish the purposes for which
it was design ed. It was carried be

Buchanan, as soon as any Locofoco? lie is
just as proper to be a candidate for re-election,
as any of his tribe with their politics. Might

Partyism of Modern Democracy.
Mr. Benjamin II. Hill, a, prominent Itm
ocral who resiiles at Lagrange, G a.',-expresses
hi.-i views in the following manner to a Dem
ocratic friend in Alabama, who had address
ed him a letter, upon the politics of the daj z
"For several years this party has made it-
peit elanioroHs throughout the Soutli, durin"
even-canvass, with ite professions of devotion
to the interests of this section of the Union.
It has vauntetl iteelf as the only reliable par
ty lor the feouth, and everybody who refused
to act with It, has been denounced as untrue
and the ally of AbolititMiirm. But what are
the facts of history ?
In the first place every Abolition leader for
the Presidency from 1848 o now, has been
taken from the Democratic part v. And what
is yet more significant, every snch leader,
when he chose to return, ha been received
back into the Democratic party, without anv
repentance, and icUhout the retraction of a V
gletoordqf their Abolition heresy ! Mr. Van
Iiuren went back openly declaring that under
the Kansas Ikmocraey, FrOmlism could best
accomplish its mission, and with this strong
declaration on his.lips, and printed axtA publish
ed, he and his Soft associates werefeceived in
to the Democratic Told !
