The Adhixistration’ Dehocract.—
Time who, obstinately bent upon deny
ing to the South the great principle of
the equality of .the States and the guar
antees requisite for the maintenance of
that principle,-have, exasperated the
jealously and fostered the distruBt which
alienated men that, in 1830, could stand
on one and the same platform. If the
Democratic party is, indoed, ever to be
broken up—if the Union is now endan
gered, the blame must rest, not upon
those who insist upon the recognition of
that vital principle, but rather on those
who would resist, ignore, or submerge
it. What the States that are. certain to
givo their eleotoral votes for a Demo
cratic candidate find it due to their
safety as well as their principles to leave
a Convention wherein States that are
sure to go for the .Republican candidate
a platform, they can scarcely be accused
of anything but a faithful adherence to
Jbeil' principles and the security of
their own region. For those who oan
scarcely promise an electoral vote, to
complain of their pertinacity, call to
mind the reproach of the honest jury
man upon “those eleven obstinate fel
lows" whom ho could not cozen, cqjole,
or coerco in agreeing with his opinion I

A Sad Case op Crime and Self-Mur
der.—Charles J. F. Stone, Esq., the law
yer who committed suicide at - Ply
mouth, N. H., pretended, that he want
ed the strychnine for the purpose of
etrifying fish. He drew a glass of oi-
er, put a portion of tho strychnine in
to, it and drank it. He then oame up,
put on his overcoat, kissed his wife and
children, and went out. Repairing to
the druggist from whom he had pur
chased the poison, he told him what he
had done, adding that he would be
dead in ten minuteB. Tho former star
ted to call in a physician, but was forci
bly detained, by .Stone until he broke
from his grasp. Stone then started for
his residence, and going a few rods fell
in the street, and died almost immedi
ately. His forgeries amounted to be
tween $10,000 to' $20,000.
Queen Victoria’s Integrity towards
iier Father’s Creditors.—The scrupu
lousness with which Victoria paid tike
debts of her father (who was at one
time so poor as to be unable to afford to
transport his family from Germany to
England,) is not so well known as it do-
serves to De. The author of the “Wo
men Beauty" thus alludes to this trait
in this Queen’s character:
“One of the first measures of Victoria
was to pay from her own private purse
the remaining debts of her father—
those which she and her mother hnd
been unable by their united economies
to liquidate. The people contrasted
the Queen’s conscientious application
of her resources with theoonduet of her
grandfather, George III., under similar
circumstances. His father, Frederick,
Prince of Wales, left behind him nu
merous obligations, not one farthing of
which did George on coming to tho
throne, think proper to discharge."

years. This venerable looking woman
remembered to almost the last moment
of her existence, with an affectionate
regard, tho one, who inspired Burn’s
finest eflfusioris, arid was the object of
his purest attachment; ’and it was im
possible tohear her enter minutely into
tho full particulars of her daughter’s life
and the amiable qualities of Jier heart,
without feeling convinced that Mary
Campbell had something more than on-
dinary attraction to fascinate the mind
of the poet. Were we to judgerffota
appearance of the mother, whose finri
black eyes and regular features, at her
advanced age, gave indications of early
beauty, we would say that “Highland
Mary" probably had also personal
charms, whioh would-have influenced.a
less sensitive mind. than that of Robert
Burns. Among the littlri’ stores of the
deceased, there was nothing to be found
os mementoes of the gifted bard, but
tho Bible which he gave his beloved
Mary on that day when they met on the
banks of the Ayr, “to live one'day of
parting love." It is, indeed, a curiosi
ty, and has written on the first leaf,, in
Burn’s hand-writing,- tho following pas
sage of Scripture ■ whioh is strikingly
illustrative of the poet’s feelings and
ciroumstances—“Thou shalt not fore-
that after this they never met again,
and that time could not efface the sol
emnity of this parting from his rntad;
and it is to be regretted that two letters,
which ho wroto alter her death to the
afflioted mother, have been destroyed—
tho old woman saying, “she could nev
er read them without shedding tears."
