Ireland as It was and as it Is. No reader of the history of Ireland, for the last thirty years, can fail to pcrceeive the great change - which baa taken place in her social, moral and po- Jitical condition. Contrast her present prosperity with her past degredation, and we have America as it is now, blooming and blossoming as the rose, * her valleys yielding rich produce, her hills made low, her people feasting on the froits of industry and enjoying the 6wee*.s of liberty compared with a de sert island, roamed over and inhabited by an igno rant, barbarous people incapable of advancing in the arts, sciences or agricultural pnrsuits.

Not leiator DMgIts~Vke Administration— V Tbe Democratic Party. The relation that Senator Douglas sustains, or ought to suataio to the National Democracy, is the subject of much contention . and division of opinion. We are surprised that any genuine Southern Democrat should even hesitatejvbere to place him in his estimation. i; Ho has made war upon the Democracy and the Administra tion, upon a vital, and nil absorbing question, and upon principle we are bound to regard him as an outsider. Notwithstanding his able ad vocacy of popular sovereignty, and of our con stitutional rights in the Kansas Nebraska act, ! he lacked the principle or courage, to endure I the admission of Another slave State.

On this issue we unhes itatingly place ourself on the side of the admin istration. If necessary Douglas must be ostra cized, or thp party’ ruinously divided. IIis am bition is great, and he may aspire to the nom ination. As a test of his fitness, reflect if he will answer for this, His nomination would hopelessly divide the Southern Democracy, and why ! Because of his direlection to principle, and his desertion of the sound Democracy.— May it not be that in the game of President ma king now goi.^g on, we may find another, if not the controlling reason, why some distinguished Southerners adhere to tbe fortunes of Douglas?

For laces, cam brics &c., an extra quantity of the powder is used and for crinolines, (required to be very stiff*,) a strong solution is necesary. Borax being a neu tral salt does not in the slightest degree injure the texture of linnen; its effect is to soften the hardest water, and therefore it shourd be kept on every toilette table. To the taste it is rather sweet, is used for cleaning the hair, is an excellent dentri- fice, and in hot countries is used in combination with tarterie acid and bi-carbonate of soda as a cooling beverage. Good tea cannot be made with hard water ; all water may be made soft by adding a tea-spoonful of borax powder ro an or dinary sized kettle of water in which it should boil.

In either case, he is obnoxious to us. Nor does his advocacy of the Dred Scott decision better the matter practically, if on all the living material questions of the day vital to the South, his vote as a Senator is against us- We care not for his good preaching., if he i» and will be gnilty of bad practices. There is a reason not given why many South erners sympathize with Mr. Douglas. They fear the influence of his lost on the Democratic party. What that may be, time can only di«- close. We do know, however, that the straight forward principles of the Democracy sternly adhered to, have power stronger than the defection of any influential public man.— If a prominent Democrat departs from , tho faith we cut him off— get along without him, and the loss of himself and friends, ia the gain of more and better men../ We show Mr/.

The Argus, being dissatisfied with that place we were willing to go to any other point equally acces sible. We therefore proposed Smithville. The “Argus” rejects it and choses rather to moot in Albany? Vory well, let Abany be the place. We do not have any fears of outside pressure. The Convention of the Pataula circuit, assembles in Cothbert, where there are three candidates, and no apprehensions are felt of outside infloences, by the candidates from other counties. As to the time we concur fully with the Argus and we hope the Patriot will not insist upon any- other. Let the counties appoint their delegates at once, and let tho matter be set at rest.
