Tlie Way Democrats do things.
When a democrat turns traitor to the Con
stitution, and misrepresents his c nstituency
iu Congress, he is promptly repudiated. Bar
clay of Penn, voted with the Republicans for
the Army Bill with the abolition proviso.—
What is the consequence ? The democrats of
his district have thrown him overboard, and
nominated anew man—known to be sound.
That’s the way the democracy do things. But
how is it with onr opponents ? Do they re
pudiate their men for such conduct ? Never !
Henry Winter Davis, a southern Know Noth
ing member of this Congress, from Maryland,
voted with Barclay, but he is not turned out
of his post. Oh no :he will be a very popular
man with the Know Nothings— Federal Un
ion.
&g”Tn his speech at Massachusetts ‘ Old
Xine” Know Nothing Whig Convention. Mr.
Robt. C. Winthrop remarked, on giving his
adhesion to Fillmore :
“In my experience thus far, I have voted
for a President of the United States once with
otdy four States, and once with only inv own
State, and am prepared, if need be, to try how
4t feels without anyStafe at all.”
He will have a chance to try it this time.
Fillmore not in l'owa —A letter from lowa
City to the New York Tribune states that the
American State Council had just met there,
and agreed to support Fremont and Dayton.
That looks like Fillmore carrying lowa !
.-.*►.
Washington', Sept-. 23.—The Natiional In
telligencer has concluded to hoist the Fillmore
and Donalson fiag.
York, Sept. 23.--The Citizens of
Concord, N H have refused a public reception
to President Pierce, on the occasion of his con
templated visit.
We see it stated that Mr Haven, of j
(the late law partner of Mr lil
more,) declines to be a candidate for re-elec
tion. The ;resumption is, that Mr. Haven,
is feai'ful of the ballot box.— Con 4* Rep
Washington, Sept. 18. —It lias been ascer
tained that the Administration is officially ad
vised that the project of a treaty between
Great Britain and the United States relative
to the Central American question has been
agreed upon. A copy has been received, but
its contents have not transpired. Mr. Dallas
had full power given him, notwithstanding the
statements to the contrary.
The Cotton Crop on Red Rivf.r. —The
Nat chit cche* Chronicle, of the 6th nit., says :
“The extremely hot ad dry weather of the
last six weeks has, we fear, seriously impaired
the value of the cotton crop in this section of
the State. the forms are falling in great
numbers. It is so !afe in the season that no
great fears are entertained from the catter
pillar ; on seme plantat ons they are said to
have appeared, but nor in sufficient numbers
to injure the crop thus far. On the whole,
there will be much below an average crop,
both of corn and cotton, this year in this Pa
rish ; and we Ie rn that the same may be said
of the crops in Dt Soto and Sabine.
WeS* The New t'-rleens Picayune of 19ih
inst says a shark was recently cam h below
that city. The monster measured seventeen
feet ten inches in length from tail to snout,
and nine feet in circumference. He had seven
row r s of teeth, three of the rows being almost
hidden in the upper gums. His liver exactly
filled up a beef barrel.
In his paunch was found the body of a man.
in a half decomposed State. So far as could
be judged, the corpse was that of a. well dress
ed mau, of medium size—white shirt with pearl
buttons course silk unde shirt, cotton socks,
shoes nearly new, of the Congress gaiter kind.
The .‘•hark had also in his stomack several
pieces of old canvass, such as are used by ves
sels on their rigging.
The jaw bone of this sea pirate is now exhi
bited in New Orleans. It is large enough to
take in a sugar barrel.
A Bloody Indian War Apprehended in
the Northwest
Bth ult., gives the intelligence of a threatened
war between the Sioux and Chippewa Indians,
partly growing out of a recent murder commit
ted by the Chippewas among the Sioux, their
hereditary enemies, and partly from a misun
derstanding between the Indian agent and the
Sioux in regard to the delivering over of cer
tain young men engaged in forays into the
Chippewa country. The superintendent d<-
inanded those men ; on the refusal to com p J y,
the annuities were suspended. Afterwards
they complied, but for some reason they have
not received their money. The consequence
is, a bad state of feelings exist. The Sioux
demanded the young men, and threaten a war
of extermination against the Chippewas.”
Arrest of the Head of the Vigilance Com
mittee.—Deputy Sheriff Crombie this morning
arrested and brought before the Supreme Court,
William T. Coleman, President of tfie San
“Francisco Vigilance Committee, now tempor
arily in this city.
Coleman was arrested on complaint of James >
R. Maloney, late cf Culafornia, who states in !
his affidavit that while performing his duty in !
guarding the states arms of California against 1
the Vigilance Committee, he was seized, hand-1
cuffed and finally expelled the State by that!
lawless organization, to his great personal and ;
pecuniary damage.
He therefore begs that Coleman, the leader
of the Committee, who is reputed to be very |
wealthy, may be held to bail for sloo,oooj
The curt, however, released the prisoner on
giving bail fi r $50,000. ‘he Vigilance Com
mittee are now bcgining to reap the conseque
nces of their acts. —N Y Evcniny Post , 1 tith

OXE-1 ENTH OF A ‘■'ECOND FROM DEATH—It
will bercmemberd that the Rev. Mr SeUwood.
of the Episcopal Church missionary to Oregon,
was in the P nama mas-acre, and reported
among tie dead. In a fitter just reeieved
from ; im, he s s tha he reeieved four wounds
ami is disfigured so fife. His narrow escape
from death is us scribed :
After I hau vec vered, and previous to leav
iug the Hospital, < ne >if my medical attendants
said to me; “1 1 ok u on imir escape as a
miracle; the b 1! passed so near the heart, that
it must hav j ssed at the instant of its con
traction for had i’ passed at its expansion,
you must have been killed, Just the onetenth
of a second mad all the difference iu your case
between life and death.”
Two men, Hill and Johnson, connected iu
some way, we learn, with the Muscogee Kail
Road, weie -hoi at a rouseol illfame,near the
brick-yard in surburbs of the citt. on featur
day night, by a man known as Hep Gunn.
Hill was said to be dangerous y wounded, and
his recovery thought to be doubtful Gunn is
