Spirit of the Northern Democracy* The following .Resolutions of the Democratic Republican Stale committee of New York will show the spirit which exists among the Democrats in that great State in rcfcrcnco to the Compromise measures ns a final settlement of the slavery ques tion. They are determined to show the South their wiliinguess nod desire to stand by aud faithfully execute tho contract entered into by demo crats of ilie Union at the meeiiog at Baltimore— lhal when they signed that agreement they inten ded Jo keep it, and should this vexed and mo mentous questi. n again be thiown into the political arena, to accomplish the ends of sectional politi cians, it, should be done by the South. The North ern Democrats will adhere to the terms of settle ment, and have thus far shown good faith. Can the leaders of the Conservative Republican citizens Legion party of Georgia, which is the Whig party, show anything connected with this grave question confirmatory ui the Compromise settlement, ema nating from any of their friends at the North, by whatever name they may choose to call themselves ? Don’t all speak at once.— Ex. Democratic State Committee.—At a meeting j of the Democratic Republican State Committee, held pursuant lo regular notice, at the Astor House, in the city of New Vo k, on Friday, the 15th day of July, at four o’clock, P. M., Minor C. Story, of Duchess, was elected Chairman, and James I. John son, of Albany, elected Secretary, On motion the following resolutions were adopted : VUAerea**, It becomes this .'Mate Committee, as repre senting the Democratic party of New York, upon this occasion to declare to the Democracy of the Union its adhesion, and t hat of its constituents, to the doctrines; enunciated at the Baltimore Conventions of 1844,’48 and ’53, to declare its approval of the sentiments of the j late Inaugural address, and to set forth the views and principles of its Democratic constituency upon matters of i State and national importance. There fore Resolved , 1. That w<* reiterate our attach- i meut to, and approval of the Baltimore platform, and j heartily congratulate the Democracy of the Union on the j doctrines avowed by President Pierce, iu his inaugural address to his countrymen, believing that the doctrines are sound expressions of our duty, as one of the powers of the civilized world, and ol the duties of the several States to each other under tho constitution of the United States. Resolved, if That we coincide with the President in his opinion, that “it is not to be disguised that our Attitude as nation, and our position on the globe, renders the ac quisition of certain posssessions not within our jurisdiction, eminently important for our protection, if not in the future j essential for the preservation of the rights of commerce] and the peace of the world’*—and also with the principle j which we all regard as fundamental, that “the rights, so- J curitv and repose of this confederacy reject the idea of j interference or colonization on this side of the ocean by j any foreign power beyond prevent jurisdiction, as utterly j inadmissible. Resolved, ft. That, the Democracy of the State of New York reaffirm the doctrine ot tho inaugural, “that ! involuntary servitude, as it exists in different States of the j confederacy, is recognised Constitution : that it stands \ like any other admitted right, and that the States where it exist® are entitled to efficient remedies to enforce the j constitutional provisions,’’—that “the laws of 1850, com- ! monly called the‘compromise measures/ are strictly consti- j tutional, and to be unhesitatingly carried into effect”— j that “the constituted authorities of this republic are bound ! to regard the rights of the South in this respect, as they j would view any other legal and constitutional right—and j that the laws to enforce diem should be respected and j obeyed, not with a reluctance encouraged by abstract { opinions as to their propriety in a different state of society, * hut cheerfully, and according to the decisions of the tribu- ; nal to which their exposition belongs,” and that the Demo- j cratic party of this State stands pledged, so far as it dc- j pends upon the political and persona! action of its mem bers, that every law adopted by the constitutionHl auth orities of the United States, including the Fugitive Slave law, shall bo faithfully enforced within the limits of the State. Resolved , 4. That we congratulate our fclkw Demo crats throughout the State, upon the adoption, by the pres ent Legislature, of the amendment to the constitution, de signed to provide for the enlargement and completion of the cauals, in accordance with pledges given by the Democratic party to the people of the State, a result mainly due to the unyielding efforts of Democratic Sena tors, upon whose course the people will stamp their ap probation, and which gives hope of the speedy completion of that great system of public works of which our .State has just cause to be proud. Resolved , 5. That a Democratic State Convention, to be composed of uue delegate from each Assembly dis trict in the State, be and is hereby appointed to lw held in the city of Syracuse, on Tuesday, the thirteenth day of Sep tember, 1853, at twelve o’clock, neon,for the purpose of nominating candidates for such State officers as are to be elected at the next election, and for the transaction of such other business ns may come before it. Resolved , That these resolutions be published in the Democratic papers in this State. Minor C. Storv, Chairman. James J. Johnson, Secretary. Emanuei, County. —We learn that Neil McLeod and Abraham Kirkland are the opposing candidates for the Seuate from Emanuel, and thatS. M. Fortner and Eleaz er Durden are the opposing candidates for the House of Representatives. The candidates for the Senate are.both of the same political stripe, (conservatives,) and both the candidates for House are democrats. They are running upon the proposition to make anew county, by taking off a large strip of Emanuel contiguous to Burke. Kirkland and Fortner are in favor of the proposition, and and Durden opposed to it, and upon it the race will be run. Firing Small Shot.— The editor of the Journal & Messenger complains that we fire small shot : we fire shot in proportion to the game we are hunting. He must not expect us to fire cannon balls at Rumble Bf-es. — Federal Union. Mississippi Senator. —The following allusions seem to indicate the general tendency’ of the De mocracy of Mississippi to unite upon Col. Jeff. Da vis for Senator. The Houston Sunt hern Argus of tho 6th inst. says : 4i \Vedo not wish it to be inferred that we are occupying equivocal ground with regard to U. S. Senator, and therefore hoist to our mast-head the name of Hon. Jefferson Davis.” . The Mississippian , the leading Democratic pa per of the State, says : “There can be no question but that one of the tw r o illustrious men who led the Democracy in 1851, and were sacrificed then, is the first choice of the great mass of the Democratic parly of Mississippi for the Senate, and will be supported by .them when ever they shall indicate their consent. Northern Arguments. —There is more of ingenu ity than of either consistency or honesty in the ef forts of ihe enemies of the administration to revive the agitation of the slavery question for party pur poses. The New York Tribune appeals to the anti-slavery feeling of ihe North, by declaring that “whenever a barnburner of 1848 aspires to a place under the federal administration he is required to renounce his freesoil principles cr prove that he nev er had any;” but, on the contrary, ne says‘that 44 in no case does the fact that a politician has fought the compromise on the side ot slavery appear to bar his promotion.” Mr. Diamond, the new Governor of Rhode 16- land, was formerly commercial Agent at St. Do mingo, afterwards U.

A friend, (says the Savannah Georgian, of the 29th inst.,) whose means of judging entitle his opinion to the highest consideration, writes to us from Macon, as follows. Wo may mention, for the satisfaction of our Whig friends, that he is a Union Democrat. His letter is dated July 26th: I fool certain what the result will bo--Johnson will be elected by a triumphant majority. The nows is cheering from every quarter. Murphy iis no longer a candidate in the fourth. John son’s majority in Cobb’s district will be fully three thousand, and although there are divisions in the fifth district as to the Congressional can didates, the Democratic vote is united upon Johnson. It is true Patton is out for Jenkins, t but tho people of Cherokee know Patton, and consequently Johnson’s vote will be largely in creased by Patton’s desertion. In the third dis trict Johnson will get over a party vote, and in the South west we hear of no defections, but a universal spirit of enthusiasm pervades tho ranks of our party. No talk about Southern Rights or Union Democrats—all old issues buried— all old animosities healed—and nothing but the brotherly teeling of the old Democracy pervades the people. The Whigs are down in the mouth, doubting and disgusted. Tho skies are bright and brightening everywhere. I have just heard from tho meeting in Mc- Donough, in Henry county, yesterday. There were a thousand persons present, and great en thusiasm prevailed, The Democrats made their nominations for the Legislature, Luther J. Glenn for Senate, a Union Democrat, and two South ern Rights men for tho Houso. Johnson made a great speech, and left a fine impression on all who heard him. Our friends say that we ‘ shall carry the fourth district by a thousand votes easy. Truly the glorious work goes brave ly on.

Had he been appointed minister to Turkey we should count upon a war between the Porte and the Czar in less than six months, whether the uUimatissimum of .Nicholas were accepted or rejected.

St. James, Bf.aver Islakk, July 14. i The Detroit Free Press has toe following : | A most bloody and murderous assault was made i upon Joshua'L. Miller, Sheriff of this (Emmet) j County, at Pine River, yesterday afternoon. Mr. j Miller went to Pine River yesterday morning, to j summon three Jurors, residing there, who had been j drawn for Ihe July Circuit at this place. As many ; j threats had been sent out from Pine River against j the serving any process there, he went with two j boats, and seven men in each, allitnarmed, thinking i the presence of that number of witnesses would | prevent any sudden outbreak until his business was I understood, when, ho thought there could be no op posite,n. He was onshore but twenty-five minutes, finish ed his business, and got into the boats to return, when a body of forty men, who had hastily gathered on the bluff’s, commenced a most murderous fire upon them. More than one hundred guns were fired before ihe boats got ort’the shore, and all with in the distance of five rods. Six men were wound- ! od, but, surprising as it maybe, none mortally. I The firing continued until the boats were beyond gun-shot range, when they tilled three boats, and pursued. At a distance of ten miles out, the first boat in pursuit, with thirty-five men in her, commen ced firing again, and continued the fire for five j miles, when tho Sheriff and his party made the bark Morgan, Captain Stone, and were taken aboard. They arrived home last right, and by this time their wounds are dressed. Theirescape, under the circumstances, seems im- j possible. More than two hundred shots were fired ! all in short range, at men well exposed to view, without the slightest means of resistance, am* w hose i only means of escape was to sit in plain view anti j ; row the boats, with a vastly stronger force in pur- I suit. The intention was both apparent and avowed, to j leave none to return here alive ; and no pretence ’ was made for the deed but the determination to have no law there. No arrest had been made or attempted, and, what- I ever wicked men may please say, there can he no j pretence that any improper act was intended on the part ofthe Sheriff or his party ; for the transaction j was in the most public position, at 3 o’clock in the j afternoon, and the Pine River men were five to one I to the Sheriff's party.

On the Guadalupe, Cibolo, Salado, San \ntonio, Medina and many smaller streams, the yield of corn will probably avsrage ! fifty bushels or more to the acre. It is estimated that the comity of Medina, which was first settled j some six years ago. will have about 90,000 bushels j for the inatket. The Victoria Advocate is informed that cotton is j opening in that vicinity, and that the cotton crops are looking remarkably well.

Brutal Alurder of a Female. —A murder was committed in North Haven, Connecticut, on the 24th instant, on the wife of Mr. Braxilla Bradley, a highly respectable citizen of that place. The family had gone to church, letving her at home, and when Mr. B. returned ho found her dead upon the floor and the house robbed. She was stabbed and cut in a savage manner. A young Irishman named Michael Jennings, formerly in Mr. Bradley’s employ, has been arrested on suspicion of being the murderer. He exhibits a good deal of agita tion. A S2O bill with marks of blood upon it has just been taken from the man with whom he lodged on the night of the murder.

QZj- Hay is selling in California at sixty dollars per too, The Greek Church in Turkey. j The dispute in agitation between Turkey and ; Russia is reduced, by the late manifestos of the ! Czar, to a question as to the amount of freedom ac corded to the Greek churches in Turkey, by the Sul tan. A statement of the rights and privileges of these chur. hes, therefore, will show the arrogance and absurdity of the Russian claims in the nroper light. Russia asks fora diplomatic convention overrul ing all prior agreements, and binding all future ministries to give her, as the head of the Greek Church, control over all the subjects of the Sultan professing and believing that creed. ! The Greek clergy unite spiritual and temporal authority, and the following, says the New- York Evening Po.-t, are some of their privileges : Tire Patriarch of Constantinople is the present head of the Greek nation in Turkey. He presides over the Synod, decrees all civil and religious cases re ferred to him, and he, as well asthe twelve metro politans of his church, is exempt from the tax known as Haradj, or capitation tax. By virtue of their position, the archbishops and bishops are members of the Municipal Council.— The Patriarch, the Archbishops, and Bishops, preside overjthe Conncil, which fixes the amount ; of taxes, to be paid by tho Greek nation to the | Porte. The Cadis, and other governmental officials, are constrained to carry out the judicial sentences pro nounced by the Patriarch with regard to the Greek Christians, and also those of the Artfhbishops with ; in their dioceses, and to assist the clergy in the maintenance of their rights, and in collecting their revenues. Bv law, the Patriarch and metropolitans lava j tax of 10 per cent, upon the amount involved in j every cause brought before them. They also have ! absolute power lo fix all indemnifications, to award : imprisonment, corporal punishment, or exile, and j they caa, and not unfrequently do, exeommuni j cate. I Add to the above “right aad privilege” that all the sacerdotal functions are bought and sold, and doubtless it will be generally admitted that the Greek Church in Turkey has but little room for j complaint on the score of religious intolerance, and i certainly is not so persecuted as to need the prof • sered protection of Russia. IVith such freedom, j it is not surprising that, the Greeks in Turkey, one j and all, protest against being brought within the j scope of Russian interference. It necessarily followsi from this statement, that! i if the Emperor of Russia could only so far work upon the fears of the Sultan as to cause him toac quiesce in what he terms a necessary measure of j “recaurion, to insure the statu quo of the Greek | Church, he would virtually rule over one ofthe most i energetic and important sections of the Sultan’s subjects—would establish an imperium in imperio —and, whilst the |substance of the present Sultan’s ■ power would be visibly diminished, his successor ; might be left without even the shadow of authority i over a dismembered realm. This is the present purpose of the Czar *f the i Russias,and it is no marvel that not only the Sultan ! but all Europe are arming for the contest. If this | most monstrous demand is granted, and the keys j i of the Turkish Empire thereby placed in his hands, j Ihe next step will be the dismemberment of some j portion of the territory now in the possession of the Sultan, to he followed by planting the flig of j Russia above the domes and palaces of Consianti j nople. That this is the ultimate object of this Russian movement no one can doubt, who is at all ! acquainted with all the circumstances surrounding I this alleged interference in behalf of the Greek I Church in Turkey.— Phil, En. “lh Russians have entered Jassy,” Say the lasi advices Irom Europe. Well, where i and vvhai is Jassy I The New York Express says :—Take up the map iof Europe, and snugly ensconsed among a range of , mountains, a little to the westward ofthe river I’rulh, I iu the northernmost province of Turkey, the city in question may he found. Jassy is the capital of the Turkish Province of Moldavia, It contains from ! 30,000 to 40,000 inhabitants, but is not a place of 1 much trade. The inhabitants of this city wero never very in timately connected with the Turkish Empire, and ! owing to the Sultao a merely nominal subjection, it is probable they would be little disposed to oppose j the Russians. Indeed, as the Czar has made ihe I protection of the Greek Church the ostensible cause i of the dominions of the Porte, the inhabitants of ! Moldavia and Walachia, all disciples of that particu ! !ar faith, may be ready to join rat her than oppose ! him. These two provinces, Moldavia and Walachia, I are all that remain to Turkey of its conquests north jof the Danube. Bessarabia, between ihe Pruth i and the Black Sea, north of the Danube, was ce ded to Russia some lime ago. Moldavia lies be j tween Transylvania and the Pruth, and is bounded j south by Walachia, and touches the Danube on ly between the mouths of the Sereth and Pruth. It contains about half a million of inhabitants < n ; about 15,000 square miles. Walachia lies south of Moldavia and south east of Transylvania, in the great bond of the Danube. It contains 28,800 square miles and nearly a million of inhabitants.— Moldavia is situated on the southern upper verge of this extended plain. Both these provinces raise an immense amount of wheat. The inhabitants give no attention to manufactures, but receive their nec essary articles in exchange tor their wheat, which is carried down the Black Sea, and ihenee scattered over tho west of Europe. To England the trade of these provinces is very valuable. The clo hes of Manchester, the hardware of Birmingham and the cutlery of Sheffield, are found in all tlie cottages of Moldavia and Walachia, while more of their wheat reaches England than comes from America. Horrors Perpetrated at Nankin —A letter from Canton, China, speaking of the capture ol Nankin by the rebel, says : “Os the Tartar garrison, more than 20,000, inclu ding the families of the s<ddiers, women and cbii dren, were either put trrthe sword or committed suicide, it being a point of honor with that singu lar people to perish rather than to yield. Every one of the priests, whether of the Budhist or Taouist religion, nnd who were very numerous there, were massacred. Their numbers could not have been less than 1,500 or 2 000 ; while those killed in the j assault, the mining of the walls and the entry jof the rebels, are said to amount to over | 20,000 men. Very many families were completely ; annihilated by suicide. The streets veers so block ’ ed up with dead bodies, that in passing from point : to point, the conqtierers hurst open tiie doors of i houses, private as well as public, and threw them inside, as the Chinese expressed it, as if they had been logs of wood.” Kidnapping Indians. —We have the latest dis covery—that Don Francisco Marty y Torreas has been occupied for some time past, in kidnapping In dians from the coast of Yucatan, and making forci ble disposition of them for his own use, service, and benefit here, as property.

The officer replied, we learn from parties interes ted in the “speculation,” that the Government,nev er having had a claim to or proprietorship over that terrilory, they cannot entertain the application ; and that the State of Connecticut is the party to whom the Pennsylvania company must look for redress, if they really have rights involved in the case.— Washington Star. Smuggling of Opium in San Francisco. —The smuggling of opium has become quite a business amongst the Chinese passengers who arrive at San Francisco, and large quantities of the article have been seized by the officers of the customs, who have been on the look out for the smugglers for some lime past.
