A friend enquires of us, if we approve of the additions the State Sentinel has made as tests of Democratic faith. We state in advance that we recogaize in no man, the riffiit to set bounds or prescribe limits to or for the Democratic party, nor do we acknowledge the power I vesica in any mui viuiiai to receive or exclude any per- : And we do not sons to or from the democratic pari v. undcrstand the editor of the Sentinel as assuming any such authority the remarks expressed Ins views ol the duty of a democrat, which no man denies him the rieht j to make known or entertain. But like any other opinion it is suiijcct to discussion, and only binuino so tar as reason and argument enforce it not authority or RIGHT. The term Democracy is broad and comprehensive 1 and is properly used in different countries to designate a I parly, the members of which if collected in a great Congress of Nations would differ materially. In one they would say they were contending lor an extension of the I riolit of suffrage to the masses and representation direct irorn tue people, yet tbey rclused not obedience to Royaltt. In another they were for an overthrow of Royalty and determined on the destruction of a legalized aristo"acy. To accomplish it, they cared not for means nor toPPe -",unt the cost, but in a spirit of despera ' i Ninru me urcs 01 rrvomuon anu cxuneu in tne prospect of civil war. While an American Democrat would shudder at the thought of civil war dread the approach of a revolution, and in a spirit of patriotism, contend for snhmi.sion to the laws, and a strict adberance to the National Chart. In the States of ibis Union it is not always the case that the Democratic party are contending for the 6arae measures. In one State a question may arise that is inappropriate in another, and positions may le taken in one, for reasons best known to themselves, that the otheis do not approve of and therefore are not responsible. So with the great National Democratic party; they have not at all times been contending for the same questions or tbe same measures. As oneissettled, another presents itself and the parties take issue, and when so t ikrn, those of one mind should act in harmony and concert for the success oftbeir opinions, while those opposed, if honest in their opposition should spare no pains to secure their object, and defeat their enemies. After the struggle for liberty was decided and It was ascertained that the articles of confederation were insufficient to govern the Nation, it was decided to bold a oonventio and adopt a Constitution. That convention assembled in tha progress of its deliberations it was soon apparent that some entertained schemes for the erection of a splendid government, far above the people, and lieyond the reach of the changeable multitude, as they termed them. Others opposed and advised a simple and plain form of government taking frem the people no more rights rhan was necessary for their good. The issue was then made up, and parties organized the result of which is well known. The high toned Federalists when driven from their positions, by the unanswerable arguments of their opponents, in spite, and as a burlesque dubbed them Democrats friends of the people. Thoogh they preferred that of "Republican," the pertinacity of their enemies forced upon them that of "Democrat." Here then was the commencement of the Democratic party. In that day a Democrat was in FAVOR OF A SIMPLE AND PLAIN FORM OF GOVERNMENT A PEOPLE'S GOVERNMENT. A question arose about the adoption of the Constitution, and important amendments were proposed; most of which came from the Democratic party and witb them they favored ita adoption. Then a Democrat meant a friend of the new Constitution with its amendments. Tha Federal party though defeated is the convention . . .. l 1 k i l . : i i . I . i

were not cast down, and an attempt was made to accomplish by construction what tbey failed to do directly. The Democrat'C party fearing the result, and with a foresight that has ever characterized it, took bold ground against this doctrine. But who made this addition to the Democratic faith, or who said that there should be this new test for true Democrats, is hard to tell. Indeed we look upon it that they fell into that line as a matter of course from principle. They had long contended for a simple and plain form of government. Should the words "provide for the general welfare ' be construed to mean any thing and every thing, or be forced to be so elastic as to reach every point, and

sfÄT'ÄJtrs Sirs sä trJnA .trampled upon. Soon other questions arose. During the administration of the elder Adams the so called Alien and Sedition Laws were passed. Their oppression and injustice rallied the party and "repeal" was added as a test of Democracy. During the administration of Madison, a difficulty arose between this country and England. An issue was made up and parties took sides the Democratic partv on the side of the government and in defence of the administration. After a delay and when forbearance was no longer a virtue, war was declared. It was called a Democratic war Madison's war &c. But these things are so familia. witb many of our readers that we omit i further comments and only add that to be a Democrat in those days was synonvmous with a Iriend to his country a defender of her rights, and supporter of the administration. The extremes to which the Federal party had resorted to prostrate Mr. Madison and the successful restoration of peace, caused that party to hide in political oblivion. All opposition to the Democratic party ceased for a number f years, and from this fact little or no interest was felt or taken by the people in elections. They rested satisfied with the great triumphs they had achieved. The name of Andrew Jackson having been proposed as a candidate for President, attracted the attention oil the people, and the unmerited and uncalled for abuse of those in favor of the regular succession, aroused the late dormant powers of the masses, and the election of Adams by the federal clause in the Constitution and the course pursued by the administration, required a new organization of the Democratic party, and they rallied under the banner of Jackson and reform. Thus a new test was added to the Democratic faith. But some that had acted with the partv during the war ar.d had distin..;.k ,v..i.,o .... i.. Z- i.i . ,k. ,i,, ka,i professed Democraev and contended lor a simple and plain form of government, in other days, were led astray , by the spendid schemes of the Adams administration, of; -i ts - I L c: i ouiuiing up extensive manufactories, anu ueiitmiii" wie people by internal improvements, refused the test yet they claimed to be Democrats, but not Jackcson Democrats. In that dey to be a Democrat was, (not.loseing sight of any former principle or opinion) to be in favor of a judicious Tai itl: opposed to a useless and extravagant system of national internal improvements and in favor of the election of Gen. Jackson. During the administration of the old hero a question arose (that of the Re-charter of the U. S. ."Sank) which tried to the core, the real principles of every man in the land. The monopolist, from piineiple the (aristocrat in feeling the latitudinarian from necessity the supporters of a strong government and the advocates of a power nbove the people and beyond their control, united with great unanimit) in favor of the re-charter. While all those opposed from principle to taking any power from the people except so much as is necesary for their good those in favor of equality of rights and piivileges tho,e in favor of a strict coustruction of the Constitution and the perpetuating the simple and plain form of govcrnmcnt thev had received Irom their lathers, united with equal unanimity, and more zeal in opposition to the re-charter of such a monster Thus was added a plain test by which it was easy to distinguish a Democrat in piineiple and action. All know the result, but would it not be well to call to mind the course that was pursued by many in those trying days. How many there were that deserted the party with the oft repeat -d plea that they were Democrats but not modern Democrats that they weie J. flersonian Democrats and loved and revered his name, but they could not stand any longer Jackson Democracy. Of suob we have a right to look back to, and comment upon their course. They knew that the Democratic administration, and party must stand or fall upon that issue, though they had basked in the sunshine of the party in prosperity, would take this occasion of adversity. not only to abandon but join her indent entmics and assist in prostrntinir Iit But the people ki.ew their friend and that he was bearino all this abuse for them, and the result was a triumph equal to that of Madison. This brings us to the question with which we started, "who are democrats" in the present day? We answer: First. Those who believe in the great cardinal pi4nciples that have governed tlio party for the last sixty years? Second. Those that approve of ihcmeasnres and course of the party on all great questions from the commencement to the present day? Third. Those that are willing to make sacrifices, for the general ood, co-extensive with the value they place upon the rights and privileges they enjoy as men and citizens? Fourth. Those who Lve the union of these States as the apple of their eye "the hope of all men" and who fear the dissolution as they would an ignomineous death. To these the Sentinel would add as "Fifth Adher. nee to the compromise measures ol" Congress on the subject of domestic slavory opposition to the repeal of the Fugitive slave law, and further agitation of the slavery question." And why noi add? Would adherence to the late compromise measures endanger the Union or require of any citizen a greater sacrifice than the blessings of peace and harmony, now enjoyed, justify? If not, then why object? particularly when we have good reason to believe that the opposite course will endanger the Union, and produce results that no friend to bis country or the cause of civil liberty slu uld wish to see. But these measures are not strictly Democratic. The Democratic party neither has the riht to claim all the honor, nor is it responsible for all the blame attached to these measures. The leaders of both parties united and vied with each other to see who should do the most for his country, and this same feeling should come home to everv citizen "Who can do the most lor his country The Democratic party have always been first anion" the loremosi in an irvinr; scenes, tne appeal comes aireciiy to her to stand hy the country and adhere without faftering, to the compromises necessary to sustain the peace harmony, and happiness of this great Nation. That no one may say we avoid the direct question, though we have taken our own way to answer it, we say that we approve of the addition and place it fifth in our catalogue of what we consider necessary to constitute a Democrat. In so doing we do not say whether the sacrifice is grent or small, but this we say that we wish it were creater, that we might have the opportunity to offer it, on the score of necessity, for the peace of our country. Florida. By the census of 1S40, Florida, then a Territory, contained 54.477 inhabitants. In 1850, 86.655, an increase of 32,810. Now. tbe Florida Sentinel estimates the population of that State at 90j000. Florida is a larce State in extent, area 59.000 square miles. It has a thin sandy soil, better adapted to sugar than cotton. Immense forests of pine are to be found in the eastern and middle portions of it, and the turpen'inc business is beginning to flourish in many pr-tions of it. The climate is among the most pure and healthy of any portion of the United States. East Florida, has of late become quite a resort for invalids, who spend tbe winter at St. Augustine and the towns on the St. Johns, for the restoration of their health. Miltcaukie Ad. Break. The heavy rains on Sunday last caused a break in the cnnal near Lewisbnrjj, which, from its extent, will impede navigation for some weeks. It occurred at a culvert, which was entirely washed out, carrying with it a oonsidernble portion of the embankment. Tha Packets continue tbeir trips, passengers being carried round the break in warons. Peru Sentinel.

The Battle of Hohenlinden. BY J. T. HEADLEV. The Iser and the Inn, as they flow from the Alps' toward the Danube, were nearly forty miles apart. As they approach the river thi space between them becomes one elevated plain, covered chiefly with sombre, dark pine forest crosseed by two roads only while the mere country paths, that wind through it here and there, there gives no space to the marching columns. Moreau had advanced across this forest to the Inn, where on the first of December,

La was attacked and forced to retrace his steps, and ; s-2 riüonon ü,vu,her Mttiü sä of Hohenlinden. Here where one of the great roads debouched from the woods he placed Ney and Grouchy. The Austrians, in four massive columns plunged into the gloomy wilderness, designing to meet in the plain of Hohenlinden, the central column marching along the high road while those on either side made their way through amid the trees a? they best could. It was a stormy December morning, when these seventy thousand men were swallowed from sight in the dark defiles of Hohenlinden. The day belore it had rained heavily, and the roads were all impassible; but now a furious snow storm darkened the heavens, and covered the ground with one white unbroken sur face. The by-paths were blotted out and sighing pines overhead drooped with their snowy burdens above the ranks or shook them down on the neaus oi me soldiers, as the artillerv wheels smote against their trunks. It was a strange spectacle, those long col umns, out of sight of each other stretching through the dreary forest by themselves: while falling snow silling over the rocks, made the unmarked way still more solitary. The sofl and yielding mass broke the tread of the advancing hosts, while the artillery and ammunition and baggage wagons, wave forth a muffled sound, that seemed prophetic of ome mournful catastrophe The cenlre columo alone had 100 cannon in its train, while behind them were five hundred wagons the whole closed up the slow moving cavalry. Thus marching, it came at about 9 oclock upon Hohenlinden, and attempting to debouch into the i . I . i i ii'Knn I r, n. In- i , . I I tl I ivn l f If if It CI 1 K Inn 4 Ko f i 1""" ' . " "3 7 V - TTJTZVT? n was lorced duck into tne wooas. in a moment tne frest was i,,,ve Wllh echoes ami its gloomy recesses illuminated with the blaze of artillery. Grouchy, Gramljcan. and Ney, put forth incredible efforts to keep this immense force from deploying into the open field. The two former struggled with the energy of desperation to hold their ground; and although 'he soldiers could not see the enemy's lines, the storm was so thick, yet they aimed at the flashes lhat issued from the woods and thus the two armies fought. The pine trees were cut in two, ,like reeds by the artillery, and fell with a crash on the Austrian columns, while the fresh fallen snow turned red with the flowing blood. In the meantime, Richenpance, who had been sent by a circuitous route, with a single division, to attack the enemy's rear, had accomplished his mission. Though his division had been cut in two, and irretrievably separated by the Austrians' left wing, the brave General con'inued to advance, and with only three hundred men, fell boldly on forty thousand Austrians. As soon as Moreau heard the sound of his cannon through the forest and the alarm is spread amid the enemy 's ranks, he ordered Ney and Grouchy to charge full on the Austrian centre. Checked, then overthrown, the broken Austrian column was roneu uacK in disorder, and utterly routeu. napbell, the poet, stood in a tower and gazed on this terrible scene, and in the midst of the fight, composed in part that stirring ode which is known as far as the English language is spoken. Tm depths of the forest swallowed the struggling hosts from sight, but still there issued forth from its bosom shouts and yells mingled with the thunder of camion and all the confused noise of battle. The Austrians were utterly routed, the frightened cavalry went plunging through the crowd of fugitives into the woods, the artillery-men cut their traces, and leaving their guns behind, mounted their horses ana galloped away and that magnificent column as it by some violent explosion, was nurled in shattered fragBSCi 's on every side. For miles the white ground was sprinkled with dead bodies, and when the battle left the forest, and the pine trees stood calm and silent in the wintry night, piercing cries and groans issued out of the gloom in every direction, sufferer answering sufferer as he lay and writhed on the cold snow. Twenty thousand men were scattered there amid the trees while broken carriages and wagons, and deserted guns, spread a perfect wreck around. No apology will be required for the insertion here, of Chapbell's beautiful lines, to which allusion is made in the graphic sketch above. HOHENLINDEN On Linden when the sun was low. All bloodless lay Hie untrodden snow. And dark as winter was the flow. Of Iser rolling rapidly. But Linden another sight. When the drums beat at dead of night. Commanding fires of death to light The darkness of her scenery. By torch and trumpet fast arrayed. Each horseman drew his battle blade And furious every charger neighed To join the dreadful revelry. Then shook the bills with thunder riven, And rushed the steeds to battle driven, And louder than the bolts of Heaven, Par flashtd the red artilltry. And redder y.-t those fires shall glow On Linden's hills of blood-stained snow, And darker yet shall be the flow Of Iser, rolling rapidly. The combat deepens on ye brave, Who rush to glory or the grave ! Wave Munich all thy banners wave, And charge with all thy chivalry. Til morn; but scarce yon lurid sun Can pierce the war cloud's rolling dun. Where furious Prank and fiery Hun Shout amid their sulpherous canopy. Ah! few shall part where many meet ! Tbe tnow shall be their winding sheet, And every turf beneath their feet Shall be a soldier's sepulchre. A Fast Traveller. The electric telegraph is bound to remain a mystery to the million, and the ludicrous conceptions of its modus operandi, which some of the most ignorant people have formed, are as mirth-provoking as anything out of Rabelais or Smollett. The last illustration of this that has fallen under our eye, is the following story from the Pittsburgh Journal : Not long since, an old lady entered O'Reily's office in ti.is city, and said she had a message to send to Wheeling. In a few minutes her note was deposited in a dumb waiter, and ascended in a mysterious manner through the ceiling. "Is that going straight to Wheeling?" inquired the old lady, with her eyes bent upon the ceiling. "Yes ma'am," answered the clerk. "I never was there," continued she, "but it hardly seems possible that the town lies it that direction. When will I get an answer, Mr. TelegTaph ?" "I can scarcely tell, ma'am it may be two or three hours." Tbe old lady went away, and returned in exactly two hours. Just as she entered the door, the dumb waiter came down through the ceiling. "There, is your answer, ma'am," said the clerk. The old lady took the neat yellow envelope in her hand, with a smile of mingled gratification and astonishment. "Now this beats all," exclaimed she. "Bless my heart ! AH the way from Wheeling, and the wafer still wet. That's an awkward looking box, but it can travel like pizen '1 rf"La, me!" sighed Mrs. Partington, "here I have been sufferin' the bigamies of death three mortal weeks. Fust, I was seized with a bleeding phrenology in the left hampshire of the brain, which was exceeded by a stoppage of the left ventilator of the heart. This gave me an inflammation in the borax, and now I'm sick with the chloroform morbus. There is no blessin' like that of health, particularly when you're sick.

For tht Pilv SUte Sentinel. To Kate. t v a. r. Softly, sweetly o'er me stealing ! Comes thy voice so oft and clear ; Oh ! what woed'rous, mystic music Thon hast poured into my ear ; And it seems as if from Heaven Thon hast come to cheer my haart; That to thee tbe boon is riven, Grateful feeliuga to impart. I have listened, chained, enchanted, Tremb'ling 'neath my hopes and fears ; Till within my bosom planted. Friendship flowed in gushing tears. And may I not breath the feeling. Like thee on life's surge alone Breathe the thoughts now o'er me stealing To a heart so like my own, Farewell ! loved one, and if never In life's path to meet again, I will breathe, aye ! breathe forever Blessings on thy blessed name ; And I'll pray that angels' blessings Still thy footsteps may attend ; For thou art in me possessing, Faithfully, a sister-friend. Prospect HM, Springheld, Fa. From the Cincinnati Commercial. Song. OH, THE WEARY, WEARY DAY. BT Mas. Sarah t. boltok. Oh! the weary, weary day, Lingers sadly on my heart; And seems to stay, despitefully. To keep our souls apart. But we'll meet alone, to-night. By the silvery-sounding streams And ever blooming bowers, In the fairy-land of dreams. Once again I'll lay my head On thy fond and faithful breast. And hear thee softly calling ma Thy beautiful, thy best, ' Heart to heart, our lips will meet In affection's glowing kiss; And 0, it will be joy to feel That none can know our bliss. With my trembling hand in tbtne, We will wander far away. And whisper all the hoarded love We may not tell by day. And the angels passing by, With their bi owe so pure and pale, Will fold their snowy plumes awhile, To listen to the tale. Tbey can see the inner heart. And I know they will approve The holy truth, the constancy. And fervor of our love. For the tie that binds our hearts Is the earnest Cod has given. To dwellers in tbis dreary world, Of happiness in heaven. O, the tardy, toiling hours. Of tbe lonely, lingering dayf I would I had some witchery To hasten them away. I will wait for thee, my love, In the vision-land to-night: The stars will be our warders; Meet me, dearest, by their light.

Good Sense. Good sense, never the product of I a single mind, is the fruit of intercourse and collision. ine cares anu tons, anu necessities, tne refreshments and delights of common life are the great teachers of common sense; nor can there be any effective school of sober reason where these are excluded. Whoever, either by elevation of rank, or peculiarity of habits, lives far removed from thb kind of tuition, rarely makes much proficiency in that excellent quality of the intellect. A man who has little or nothing to do wilh other men, on terms of open and free equality, needs the native sense of five to behave himself only with a fair average of propriety. .03" is every way creditable to handle the yardstick and to measure tape; the only discredit consists in having a soul who.e range of thought is as short as tbe stick, and as narrow as the tape. fj7" Brutus may have been magnanimous in denouncing his own sons; but in doing so he inflicted moral torture on every heart that throbbed around him. 07" Do not neglect musical talents, if you have any, for they are a great source of pleasuere both to ones self and to society. 07""Cut and come again," as the asparagus said in July.
