The editor of the Vanderburgh Democrat succeeded in his paper of Saturday last, in proving to his own satis faction, and, no tdoubt, to the satisfaction of the public, that the party -with which he fraternizes is no better than they should be that "Tory is synonymous with Robber and Mur derer." "We have had our own opinion about this matter for some time, but we prefer alwavs that our opponents should draw their own likenesses; they can paint nearer to life than Whigs. According to the Democrat, the party who have all along succeeded "in depriving and defrauding the people of their just rights, and monopolizing them for their own benefit" is the "Tory party." ?o we think; but we can hardly believe the locofoco leaders and aspirants hereabouts will thank the . editor for exposing their corruption just at this time, when they are busy in making their selection of leaders for the approaching campaign. Every one knows w ithout being told by the Pempcrat that the Uicofocp party has been in power for the last twenty years or more, but few were prepared for hjs admission that during all that time the leaders have succeeded in "depriving and defrauding" the masses of their "just rights." It is true in our paper of Saturday morning we did publish a list of "privileges" in the shape of mint drops "monopolized" by thirty-seven "Tories" or "Robbers," if that term sails the Democrat better members of the locofoco convention which nominated Mr. Polk, amounting to the very respectable sum of six hundred and ninety-six thousand, JLvc hundred and sjxty-tight dollars and fifty-six cents, or nearly nineteen thousand dollars a head. A pretty round price for locofoco skulls it must be admitted, and rather more than the editor of the Democrat thinks they are worth, no doubt; hence his cry ogaipst the Robbers. Fearing the list we published pn Saturday which, no doubt, caused the great outcry of the Democrat may have been overlooked by sorne, we here append it, and request that it be remembered that the ljst contains the names of only thirty seven out of two hundred and seventy five delegates who attended the convention and nominated Mr. Folk. The others are no doubt provided for, and the aggregate could be swelled to millions if the same facilities were opep to the people that aje enjoyed by Mr. Polk; Delegates to the Baltimore Convention in Jlfny, J8-44. who have hen rewarded by Mr. Folk, and the amount of the public money which each has received or will receive during his Administration.

We think with the editor of the Democrat that he has "sketched" the Locofoco or "Tory1 party very correctly, and that the party have "beep true to their name all along, in depriving and defrauding the people of their just rights and privileges, and monopolizing them for their own benefit." When the United States declared themselves independent, the Tory party in England held the reins of government, hence, all the Americans who supported the British against the States, were called Tories. Van. Democrat. My dear Sir, unless you are a little more care ful how you flourish your pen you will lose the publishing of the U. S. Land Sales. Don't you know that OldZeke Polk, the grand -dad of James K., was the greatest friend to the British )n all the State of North Carolina, and thf.t he wa3 actually caught in the British camp, giving "aid and comfort" to the enemy? Un less you are careful how ypu revive such un pleasant reminiscences your head will roll in the dust. This County is decidedly democratic--Van. Denwcrat. We agree with you neighbor, but it aint lo cofoco by a long shot. General Worth has alwavs been a consistent Democrat. He warmly advocated the election of Gen.

In the evening, prer vious to the imended entertainment, the effigy o Mr. Mitchell was borne through the Streets on men's shoulders, the figure being suspended by the neck from a rope fastened ed lo a long pole. Oti the back of the effigy were inscribed, in large letters, the words. Mitchel, the columniator of O'Connell'," on the from Mitchell, the slinderer of the Catholic religion!' As soon as the company had collectad, to the number ol ihiee hundred or more t lie etli gy was tarred over, and brought in front of Ihe building in which the soiree was held. Tnere ii was set on fire, ani burned fiercely the blaze teaching nearly the roof. During the progress of the combustion, several attempts were made to push the burning mass through the windows antl doors. These eflorls were successfully replied by the parly inside, and luckily, from the inflammable nature of its materials, the figure was consumed before the arrival of fresh reinforcements ot ihe populace. Great alarm, of course, per vaded those inside, especially the females, many of whom got sprained ancles, and were otherwise injured, iu their haste lo ascend from the bottom story, which was most threa tened by the populace. Language of the most insulting nature now passed between those inside and the assemblage without. After this a fight occurred and was kept up fr some lime between the mob ouiside aud those wilhin. Showers of stones were hurled against the building he windows and doots were ail hroken in while those within fired several rifle shots, wounding one man, and made several charges with pikes. A Catholic priest, named O'Conner ihe only one at the soiree attempted to address ihe mob. but stones were thrown at him. Mr. O Bnen also r.ueniptod to speak, but was si rock on the head with a stone and severely injur ed. The arrival of a large body ol the police and some troops quelled the disturbance so far that those al ihe soiree escaped home in safely.

Under this head, the Freeman's Journal publishes an address, signed iy the following prominent men in the Iwo leading parties in Iteluud: John Mi ley. L). P ; W. S. O'Brien, M. P.; John O'Con oel,M. P.; John B. Dillon, A. R. Stitch. C G. Duff, Joseph H. Dunne, Thomas F.' Meagher, Thomas Atkins, Thomas M. Ry, Joseph Gray. The address is dated 5th May. One or iwo extracts will show its scope and spiri s: We address you as individuals, some o! whom hive suffered not a little in the cause of Repeal already, and all of whom would be ready, not only with resignation, but with un mixed delight to sacrifice our lives to purchase such a blessing for Ireland. Bui ye', not one of whom would consent lo purchase even Repeal by a crime or dishonor. No doubt we long for the time when ail Hue fiiends of Repeal may be reunited without any tluiinction or misunderstanding whatever; and if that resill be not immediately tealized, it is not because of any personal innimosiiy entertained by any one individual j among us toward another. -
It is true, this step we are ncr taking is not to be interpreted as being an actual fusion of the two. distinct organizations which are now
at the bead of the movement, nor as destined to prepare the way for the suppression, or rempddeling or abandonment of either. Rut while we think it more advisable to serve our country for thf present in different spheres, we desire to impress upon our brother Repealers, tnat they ought to regard each other, not &t antagonists, but as Irishmen, suffering from the same oppression yoke, and animated by the same epuobling enthusiasm tp restore their afflicted country to a position of independence ntl prosperity. Most earnestly, therefore, do we deprecate the continuance of those insults and retaliations which have in too many instances so unhappily marked the conduct of the different sections of Repealers toward each other. Such a spirit not merely distracts our councils and neutralises our strength, but gives a color of truth to those misrepresentatjons.which hold us forth to the world as a people unfit for Liberty. Let us, then, by our future conduct, demonstrate the falsehood of this opprobrious charge. Fellow countrymen: Let us put an end to the mischief ot discord that parent disaster of our too long misgoverned country, and which, like the other ills which afflict her, we can but too distinctly trace to oppression, and bring home to the door of those those alien rulers, whose grave policy is now, as it ever has been, to divide and array us against each other. Fellow-Conntrymen Let us defeat by disappointing them let discgrd and recrimination cease let all animosities and heart burnings be buried-henceforward let our watchword be UNION AMONG OURSELVES that we may Repeal the Union with England. Preparations of the Government SeizPBEof Rebels. The correspondent of the Cork Examiner cives an account of a decisive victory on the 24th ult by her Ma jesty'6 troop stationed in uungarvan. rnvate information had been given to Viscount Chewton, who commands the garrison in that town, that it was the intention of the rebels, on that same night, to take possession of both town and gar rison. The Viscount ordered the troops to sound to arms; the troops iu haste obeyed, and in less than five minutes every man was at his post, the batteries occupied, and cannon loaded. An express arrived, infoiming him that the rebels had halted for refreshment at a lime-kiln some little distance from the gar rison.. The Viscount, with all the consummate tact of an able general, made immediate arrangements for a surpsise, and so ably did he conduct it, and so well seconded was he by the troops, that the lime-kiln was surrounded, and the insurgent party seized without the loss of one single man. Theprisoners were examined and found to be a party ol twenty emaciated wretches who had taken shelter there from the cold of the night ! We understand that the regiment are to be rewarded with a medal the figure of Britannia holding a spear transfixed through the heart of a pauper on the one side w-apd on the. other a representation of the lime-kiln of Dungarvan. with the word "Dungar van" on the helmet. Viscount Chewton is to be rewarded with the title of Earl of Dunbrownie. Nation. Fifteen thousand stand of arms, with accoutrements aud ammunition have been forwarded from the ordnance depots in Ireland to the different barrack stations for the use of the loyal inhabitants. Limerick Chron. DissalfectiON inthe North. Havinglately visited many counties in Ulster, and noted down the feelings of parties as 1 went along, I am convinced that Government cannot confidently calculate on the assistance of the Northern Orangemen in the event of a struggle for national independence. They state openly that the late famine made no distinction be tween them and their Catholic brethren that loyalty and disloyalty (as love of contry is now termed) shared tlje same fate. They are trodden beneath the hoofs of landlordlv oppression. Rents and taxes are exacted from them with as much severity as if thev never SDorted the 'lily-' on the glorious Twelfth. The Orangemen are, therefore, doggedly holding aloof from any movement in favor of liovernment which is being made by the local landlord magistracy. That their loyalty is not exactly of the '98 stamp wqs sufficiently proved In Monaghan about a week ago, where the landlords called on the friends of "peace and order" to enrol their names on the "Session Books." The Orangemen of Monaghan, to a man, declined the invitation, and the loyal declaration received about a dozen of signatures, comprising some of that respectable class termed "process servers." The landlords are, therefore, anything but com fori able in their quarters. They are beginning to fear that the people have one and all, taken Into their foolish heads the disloyal notion of eating their own crops next harvest, despite of the exhortations of their kind friends. Clarendon and Russell. The only thing that would make the Orangemen of Ulster take the field at present is to protect their private property, which, under any circumstance; will be held inviolate by the people---that is, providing they had any such commodity; for the bill of Sir William M. Somerville has created some serious doubts on that point. So that the Government can not safely reckon on the Orangemen of Ulster 3S being willing to shed their blood in defence of that indefinable something called Mpeace and orde ."Pilot's Correspondent.

The Wat Ikish News is Made for the London Papers. Mr. Fergus O'Connor in a recent speech in the House of Commons narrated the following: In reference to allusions made to the English press and its misrepresentation of Irish suffering and Irish violence, he would give the House a most striking instance. During the sittings before the recess, the servant one morning came into his (Mr. O Connor's) sitting room, at his hotel, and said that a gentleman was very anxious to see him for a moment. A relative of the noble Lord, the member for South Staffordshire was present, as honorable a gentleman as lived. The strapger was shown up, and he would give not the substantial but the litteral conversation. He said: "Sir, 1 am going to Irelattl as Commissioner for the morning paper, end I tbougbt.perhaps, I might be of service to vou. I am soing to the disturbed districts." "Well," said"!, "1 suppose you will give correct reports, and 1 can take "them from that paper." "No, Sir." he replied, "that would not do, as I should send them the version that would suit their readers, and you the version that would suit yours." Now this, he was prepared to prove op the testimony of an honorable and highminded geptleman, who at the time expressed his horror and disgust. From Wilmer Si Smiths's European Times, May C. FRANCE. The Result of the.Electioss! The returns of the French Elections are now completed and notwithstanding the utmost exertions of the ultra Republicans and Communists, who left neither foul or'fair means untried to effect their purpose, the lists exhibit, as we anticipated in our last publication, a triumphant testimony to the popularity of the principle propoouded andacted'ppop by Lamartine and the
moderate party. Indeed, so cleaily and prominently has this expression of popular feeling been manifested, that some fears are entertained of the minority resorting to ulterior meas ures in order to render past proceedings nugatory. The state of Europe generally has been more settled during the week, though from the
advices which continue to reach us, we cannot calculate for any lengthened continuance of the partial subsidence in hostile feeling which is now manifested. The examination of the election returns was concluded at a late hour on the night of the 28th ult. at the Hotel de Ville. From nine o'clock in the morning of that day, detachments of the National Guard lined the square in front of the building. In the Hall of St. John, an immense platform was erected, with benches and tables for the spectators. About two hundred persons were employed at these bureaux. When the operation was completed, by" the votes of the army and the Garde Mobile being combined with those of the arrondisements, with M.

It thus appears that the 34 members for the Department of the Seine may Declassed as follows: Moderates, 25, ultra democratic, &c, 4; doubtful, 5. There are among them 12 ex Deputies, 2 journalists, 5 ou vriers or operatives, 1 Catholic clergyman and 1 Protestant Clergyman. Among the members elected are three Prelates of the Catholic Church, namely: the Arch bishop of Paris for Aveyron; the Bishop of Ummper lor J?inisterre; and the Bishop ot Orleans for the Lozere. The Bishop of Langres and several eccles iastics have also been elected in the Morbihan The accounts received from the Provinces bring returns, most of which are impressed with the same character of moderation which has been so remarkable in the previous elections. Among the members of the late Chamberof Deputies, whose return to the National Assembly is announced, is that of M. Dupin. He is the only eminent member of the Con servative party yet elected, if we except the Count Mottalembert, whose return will be disputed. The celebrated Abbe Lacordaire is among the members returned for Marseilles, where he beat M. Thiers. It is very remarnable, that while the Abbe Lacordaire, one of the most eloquent preachers in the Catholic Church and the Abbe Daguerre one of the moat popular of the Paris clergy, were both rejected as candidates tor the representation ot Paris, inc. celebrated Protestant clergyman, Coquerel, was elected. The circumstances is remarkable, as showing how little the elections wera influen ced by the mere question of religion. The Catholic cure, the Dominican friar, the Protestant clergyman and Jew advocate, Cremieux, frequently figured on the same list; sometimes, indeed, in company with the infidel D' Alton Shee, whose boast it is that he is neither Catholic nor Christian. Amons the number of members of the old Chamber of Deputies elected, are several whose names are as well known in England as in France, such as M. deTocqueville, M. Berreyer. M. Leon Paucher. JM. Mauauin, M. mi lault, M.;Duvergieed'Hauranne, Lucien Murat, (son of the King of Naples,) the Marquis de !a tiochejaquelin, Viscouptde rallox, M. deaeyval, Odilloq Barrot, &c &c.

Precautions of the Government. .The in cendiary placards and publications with which Paris has been deluged for several days, have determined the Government to adopt extraor dinarv measures of precaution. Several bat talions of the Garde Mobile and a squadron of cavalry are stationed en permanence uround the Hotel de Ville. Several companies of the National Guard have also been summoned to assemble in pickets, and to be ready to march at the first stroke of the "rappel." Paris, Thursday, May 4 11 A. M. Preparations for the Assembly. The subject which engrosses all minds this morning is of course the imposing solemnity of the opening ot the Constituent Assembly, which is to take place at noon. An order has been issued to the commander of the troops to cause the National Guards and troops of the line, artillery, &c, to be called outto unite in and 'give increased splendor to the national celebration. The spacious line of roau, commencing at
the Place Vendome, leading up the Rue de la Pail, along the Boulevard ckf la Madeleine, the Rue Royale, and the Place de la Concorde, to the Chamber, will be lined by National Guards and troops of the line. Artillery will be stationed in the Champs Elysees.and on the esplanade of the Invalides. The members of the Provisional Government will assemble at noon at the Ministry of Justice, in the Place Vendome, and will walk in procession with subordinate authorities by the line of route I have indicated, to the Chamber, the National Guards troops sa5lting. The assembling of the Chamber will be signalized by the oiecharge of 42 guns 21 from the Invalides and 21 from the Champs Elysees, discharged alternately. At the moment that the Assembly will proclaim the Republic within t.he building, upon a signal given the entire body of National Guards and troops will present srms. the drums will beat, and the trumpets flourish. The bands of the different regiments will everywheie play the national air. The same celebrations will be observed when
the National Assembly is constituted. The Chamber is ordered to be placed under the special safeguard of the National Guard. A battalion will be placed within it and around it each day at noon, and this duty will be confided successively, from day to day, to the several battalions. The immediate charee of the Hall of Assem bly to-day will be confided to four companies ot the dd Legion ol the INational uuard. A preparatory session will take place at 11 o'clock. The members of the Government will arrive about 1. A battalion of the National Guard Mobile has been drawn out in the court of the Tuille ries since five this morning. The troops have been all consigned to their barracks, and every disposition taken to frustrate any attempt at emeute, of which very general apprehensions are entertained. Opening of the National Assembly. We have received details of the proceedings at the opening of the French Chamber on the 4th inst., which passed off satisfactorily. The members of the Provisional Government, dis tinguished by tn-colored sashes, went in pro cession to the Chamber, from which all persons havingarms wereexcluded. Loudapplause greeted them on the way, and on their arrival at the Chamber. Among the members present beside the Government, were the Bishop of Orleans, Lacordaire, (in the dress of a Dominican friar,) M. de Montalembert, Odillon Barrot, Dupin, Berreyer, Beranger, Larochejaquelin and Billault. M. Dupont de I'Eure was the first of the Government who entered, followed closely by Lamartine and the ethers. Speech of the President of the Provision al Government. M. Andry dy Puyreveau, senior deputy, took the chair as President; af ter which-M. Dupont ascended the tribune and deliversd the following speech; Citizen Representatives: The Provisional Government bows before the nation and renders homage to the supreme power with which you are invested. Elected of :he People, welcome to the great Capital where your presence excites a sentiment of happiness and hope, which will not be disappointed. Depositories of the national sovereignty, j ou are about to establish new institutions upon the large basis of democracy, and to confer on France the only Constitution fitting for her a Republican Constitution. Thus having proclaimed the great political law which will definitely constitute the country, you will, citizens, like us, occupy yourselves in regulating the peaceable and efficacious action of the Government in the relation which the necessity of labor establishes among citizens, and which must have for its basis the sacred laws ot Justice and Fraternity. In fine, the moment has arrived for the Provisional Government to resign into your hands the unlimited power with which the Revolution invested it. You know whether with us the distatorship has been anything more than a moral power, exercised amid the difficult circumstances in which we were placed. Faithful to our orjgin and to our formed convictions, we hesitated not to proclaim the nascent Republic of Feb ruary. To-day we inaugurate the labors of the National Assembly to that cry at which we will always rally "Vive la Repubiique." (Ap plause.) Some business was gone through in the after sitting, but it was not expected that the President of the Assembly would be declared till next day. The Dance Begun. The correspondent of the Daily News writes from Fans on the dd as lollows: I am assured that the Provisional Government yesterday received a telegraphic depatch, announcing that the army ot the Alps had entered Savoy. From another source we learn the following: Reports are current that the Army of the Alps had entered Savoy to aid in defence of Italian independence against Austria. The Moniteur of the 3d published a decree granting a credit of 32,000,000 francs for war purposes. The inference is, that a movement on Lombardy is in contemplation, in the event of the Austrians defeating the Sardinian troops. The Constitutionnel, however, denies that there is any truth in the report that France is about to declare war against Aus'.ria. Disturbances. The riot at Rouen was somewhat serious. It is supposed to have been excited by the harrangue of Blanqui, and other ultras, against the Republican authorities. On the night of the 26th, a band of some 400 passed along the quays, crying, "Down with the National Assembly," and singing the Caira a Jacobin song. The National Guard attempted to disperse them. The mob threw up barricades, and made a stout resistance. They were finally subdued, but not until a sharp fire of musketry and cannon was opened upon tnem, by which some twenty lives were lost. At Amiens also there have been disturbances, but attributable to no political cause, merely a tumult about wages. At Rocefort the electors of several parishes fancying some trick ing was going on with the bulletins, seized the ballot box and burned it. The next day the struggle was renewed. Five persons were killed, a Government Commissary wasexpelled, ana an onjeer ot tne line wounded. At Lyops there have been disturbances, but the most remarkable at Limoges. There the workmen rose, possessed themselves of the town, and imposed upon the more wealthy inhabitants a forced contribution of 750,000f.; one inhabitant alone is believed to have had to pay 700f. (28.) No attack upon the liberty of a person was made. Families in easy circumstances ware suffered to leave the town. It was expected that order would soon be restored. Accounts have also been received of a some what serious movement at Marseilles, nothing less, it is said, man an attempt to overthrow the constituted authorities at Marseilles, and to establish a system of terror. This attempt, however, was defeated by the firmness of the Government Commissary, and the zeal of the National Guard and the regular troops. On receiving information of what was intended, twelve companies of the National Guard were called out and distributed over different parts of the city. In the course, of the evening bands of armed men calling themselves Enfans di la Jilonlagne, assembled to the number of several hundreds, and came to the agreement to commence an attack at one o'clock in the moruing. The National Guard on hearing this, began to make arrests of men who were met armed with loaded muskets; and a force of I00 troops of the line having joined the National Guard, all the projects resolved upon, among' which was one "to burn the port, werp defeated. - I In one place the civil force and the troopV
arrested twenty men, who were in charge of eighty loaded muskets, intended for the insurrection, and a large quantity of swords, pistol and powder, for the same purpose. The persons arrested were all committed to prison, and in the morning the Government Commissary issued a proclamation, exhorting all honest men to abandon the perturbators, who. were leading them into a senseless and criminal course, and declaring that he was resolved to maintain order. Decrees op the Provisional Government. In order to insure uniformity of costume for the citizens called to the same functions, the representatives of the people to weara black coat, a white waistcoat with lappets, and a tri-col-ored sash with gold fringe. They shall also wear, in the button-hole on the left side, a red . ribbon, in which shall be worked the fences of the new Republic. The military divisions to be reduced to 17, namely, Paris, Lille, Metz, Strasbourg, Besancon, Lyons, Marseilles, Montpelier, Perpignan, Toulouse, Bayonne, Bordeaux, Clesmont, Nantes, Rentes, Caen, and Bastia. The number of sub-divisions to be 43. A credit of 250,000 francs, from the DipTo--matic Secret Fund, granted to the Minister of Foreign Affairs. The name of "Asylums" to be changed to that of "Maternal Schools." A "Normal Maternal School" to the instituted at Paris for the in struction of the functionaries of the Maternal Schools, under the direction of Madlle. Maris . Carpautier. All proprietors of mortgaged property tomake a declaration of same to the Minister of Finance, under penalty of being obliged to pay the tax of one per cent, imposed on the owners of such mortgages by a decree of the Provisional Government, published on the 19th of April. RUSSIA. The Approach of War. Several letters ia the Cologne Gazette &re filled with apprehensions of an approaching conflict with Russia. The declaration of the Viceroy, of Poland, Prince Paskewitch, to the Polish noblemen, is indeed fraught with the elements of anxiety for all Germany. The Prince bids them turn to the Emperor, who would soon be able to prove to them that Russia loved them belter than Germany. He asked them to wait in patience for a few weeks and months, and that their children and their children's children would remember the kindness and praise the generosity of the Emperor of all the Slavonians. The scheme of Nicholas is stated to be no less than a union of all the Sclavonic tribes into one gigantic federative monarchy, and consequently the attainment of an unlimited sway over Europe, Among news of this kind, it is ominous to read the whisperings of the South German papers respecting Mr. Struve, Hecker's fellow accomplice in the Republican insurrection in Baden. Mr. Struve, whose native country is Russia, is said to have been in uninterrupted communication with St. Petershurgh. It is, in fact, thought that he is a Russian agent commissioned to excite disturbances and troubles in the South of Germany so as to divide the attention and the forces of the German Governments.
