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 — Washington 0onstitutip.n. 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." MUTUAL INSURANCE COMPANY.
