Democratic County Convention. In another column of our paper will be Ibund the proceedings of a meeting held in the Court House on Saturday last. We publish the proceedings under a promise to do so, and at particular request or (lie meet* fng. The meeting it headed Democratic

County Convention. But the proceedings commence iu the word*, "At a meeting of Old Liners, Whig and Democratic." The sentiments of several of the resolutions are about the same as those heretofore recognized as a portion of the code of Whig principles. But this was a meeting of Old Liners, as is aaid, Whigs and Democrats. Alas, now, where is the far-famed Democratic party of Vigo 1 Merged, fused, gone Is is not so 1 How long has it been since we had rung in our ears, by, from, and through, this same old Democratic party,-the cry of, the death, fusion, confusion, &c., &c., of the Whig party Now let us ask where is the Democrtic party 1 If called upon seriously we think we could still give the whereabouts of the Whig party. But party is not ao much the question. Principles are the thing. Where ore Whig principles 1 We answer, now being carricd out, through, and over the country, in its whole length and breadth. Through and by, one and another, or a fusion of several, or all parties, are Whig principles, directly or indirectly, being carried out, in force, or coming into opOration. Let any one examine the subject, and aay whether we have not asserted the truth. It is true, all may not be willing, at firat, to acknowledge the correctness of our premises, or the justness of our conclusions. But that arises from a little obiquity of old party vision, which must soon yield to the clear demonstration of things as they exist, and the causes which have brought about the result. j,, ys&t*K-SS &

Democracy worked its own destruction.' It had Jove of-country as an element, a conatituent portion. But love of office was the stronger, or the strongest of all. Everything had to yield to that—not perhaps directly, but certainly indirectly. Of course this ruling principle was concealed as much as possible—never permitted to stalk forth In open day. But it grew too strong to be fettered, and at last marched forth in its strength to the final overthrow of the Bern ocratic party.

The news by tho steamship Nashville looks rather squally for the nllied army before Sevastopol. A series of sorties from the garrison, and counter-attacks by the French, had resulted in heavy losses on both sides. No advantages to the besiegers had resulted froin these Vloody conflicts, which commenced on the 14th of March, and were continued nightly until the 25th inclusive. The most obstinate of these affairs occurred on tho night of the 33d ult., in which, according to the French accounts, about 3,000 Russians were placed hors de combat. Both sides, however, claimed the victory, and it appears certain that the French did not ef feet their object, which was the destruction of a rifle ambuscade, protected by the guns of certain advanced works recently constructed by the Russians. It would seem that the allies are not only outnumbered, but outgeneraled. The Peace conference at Vienna had adjourned from the 3d to the 9th of April, and a panic prevailed in Vienna, in consequence of a general belief that the conference was finally broken off, and that no hope remained of a peaceful solution of jhe questions involved in the "third point.''

INTERVIEW BETWEEN MR. MA iter AHDTHS BMVISH MINISTER.—The New York Post is credibly infermed that immediately, or very soon after the Intelligence of the assault made by a Spanish cruiser upon the El Dorado reached Washington, Mr. Marcy had an interview with the Spanish Minister, which resulted in an immediate and unconditional admission by the Utter, that his government has been guilty of a trespass upon our commerce, and a promise to send Instructions* at once to Governor Concha, to see that hereafter no vessels saiiin under Jhe American flag, ho vevcr auspicious it may appear, shall be fired at or brought to, unless wltoin three iqarjn* leagues of the shore, which is the extent of marine jurisdiction conceded to all nation* having a sea exposure. Such concessions were cheerfully made by the Spanish minister, and his instructions In accordance with them are already in thio hands of Governor Concha.

RECRUITING SERVICE.— By advertisement in another column it will be seen that Lieut. J. FINDLAY HARRISON has opened a Recruiting office in this place. Able bodied men are wanted for the <United States Army> —unmarried and between the ages of 18 and 35 years.

LATEST PORBIOH N£W«. Nothing ioiportaatfrom the Seat of war. The general ispfeet of affairs in the Crimea was Unchanged. The conference at Vien na hid adjourned over the Easter holydays. The Impression waa becoming stronger, both st London and Paris, that no peace would be negotiated, and that the belligerents would in all human probability have to tight it out. The Russians and Allies Were strengthening their positions in the Crimea, preparatory to the spring campaign. At a council of War, held at Balaklava an the 12th ult, Omer Pasha asked for the afcsistanceofsome of the allied troops to operate at Eupatoria, but his request was not grant ed, as nothing more is expected of the Turks than to hold Eupatoria. On the 18th of March large reinforcements of Russian troops entered Sebastopol. Gen. Cahrobert, in his official dispatch, says that in the affair on the S2d and 33d March, the Russ* ians lost2,000 men, and the allies 600.

The convention met at Vienna sgain on the 2d inst., and adjourned until the 9th when the C2ar's ultimatum was expected. A portion of the Baltic fleet sailed from England on the 4th inst.. The Russians had established two fortified camps, of thirty thousand men cach, to defend the Baltic provinces, and had blockaded all ports with sunken vessels. The London Timea has a leading article defending the Know Nothing movement in the United States. By tele* graph from London to Liverpool, just as the steamer sailed, it was announced that the Spanish government had demanded the recall of the British Ambassador at Madrid, because he had interfered in religious mature, The English Parliament was to assemble on the 10th inst. The U. S. cor* vetto St. Louis, arrived at Gibralter, and the Levant left the 6ame day for home. The Nashville reports having met the Africa go* ing into Liverpool as she was coming out.

Ali Pasha, Turkish plenipotentiary, has arrived at Vienna, and would take part in the convention, in its future discussions. A dispatch from Berlin, dated Friday, the 6th inst., says the Russian party predominates in the Prussian Court, and that Prussia will probably throw he/self into the embraces of the Czar Alexander, thereby rendering the negotiation of peace by the Vienna conference still more improbable. There had been a succession of sanguinary conflicts between the belligerents at Sebastopol, chiefly between the French and Russians for the possession of rifle ambuscade points, with varying success, but with heavy loss on both sides The return of Gen. Weddel, as Prussian envoy to Paris, has beon countermanded, and Col. Alborz, an attache of the Prussian embassy at Paris, has also been recalled, indicating that the negotiations between us a an a a re

The United States, it seems, will have more Commissioners at the World's Fair in Paris, than all the Nations of Europe put together. In the utilitarian department, the solid, substantial, beneficial branches of art, we shall probably bear away the palm. At the London Exhibition, our reaping machines astonished John Bull, antf Herring's fire-proof safes and unpickable locks distanced all competition. A similar triumph doubtless awaits theta in Paris. France and England can bedt us in the appliances of luxury and splendor but if they want their wheat reaped, or their public records and business documents preserved, they have to call in the aid of a McCormick or a Herring.

TWELFTH OF Jims.—'The day on which the Temperance law is to go into effect is fast approaching. There seems to be with us less of talk and excitement on the occasion, as the time approaches, than might have been expected. So far as we learn there is evidently a disposition to yield to, and comply with the requisitions of the law. Grocery keepers, we understand are generally making arrangements to close houses and go into other business. At least such seems to be the indication of appearances now. To oppose the law would probably be a fruitless attempt—besides the chance of incurring costs, fines and damages to no useful purpose.

THE NEW- YORK PROHIBITORY LITTROB LAW.—The District Attorney of New York in reply to inquiries from the Mayor, states that from the 1st of May until the 4th of July there will be no legal prohibition whatever against the sale of liquor—the new law extinguishing the old license system, with its pains and penalties, and providing no fresh ones until the latter date. For the next two months, therefore, bar rooms may be open in every house in New York, and liquor may be sold at the corner of every street, without the parties retailing it rendering themselves amenable to punishment

VJg •. if- If" ELECTION OF MAYOR. The election for Mayor, with other offices comes off on Tuesday next. We have been no little amused with the atir and commotion which the coining election for Msyor seems to make. Though, so far as we can learn, without any grand or definite reason why. The names of JAMES HOOK and JAKES T. MOFFATT will both be found announced in our paper as candidates fur the office of Mayor, Each has authorized his own name announced, though .it ^nay be, that each is urged to the measure by bis friends, and neither at liberty to refuse the compliment.

Wo learn from the report of the commit* tee appointed by the Common Council of Cincinnati, to examine the affairs of the Ohio and Mississippi Railroad company, that the first portion of the road, that from St. Louis to Vincennee—145 miles—will be completed and it) running order by the mid* die of this month. This completes the St Louis connection, and pours into its lap the resources of the rich valley of tho Wabash.

KNOW NOTHINGS. 1|

In the London Timei of April 6th we find a long srticle on the subject of parties and politics in the United States. The following is the concluding paragraph irt relation to the Know Nuthingi "If these are the established principle^ the Kno# Nothing party, we cannot but regard them with considerable sympathy.— We hav^ ever Witched with admiration the progress of the United States, as long as it is directed to those legitimate objects which are to be found within the magnificent Territories of the Union. A less favorable opid ion of their policy and condition has only been formed fcnd expressed in Europe, when public opinion in the United States was misled by factious agitators, or misdirected to objects incompatible with the righta of others. The strength of the Union and the peace of the World would be protected and secured by a policy which professes to-con-centrate the strength of the American people on American objects. The language of the new party appears to us to be patriotic and wise, and far more nearly akin to the true principles of the founders of the Commonwealth than the scandalous attempts of the modern Democrats to court popularity at the expense of honesty and honof. The Know Nothings owe their existence to a reaction against the follies and excesses of Kossuth meetings, of Irish journalism, of the Romish priests, and of Mr. Pierce's Ministers and it is not improbable that they Will succeed in constituting the next government of the United States, as they have already returned a majority to the new Congress."

The Secrecy or the American Party. Probably the American party has been assaulted more fiercely and perseveringly on the ground of its being a secret organization than on any other ground whatever. It is no peculiar business of ours to vindicate that party, and we certainly shall not at* tempt to vindicate it except fur the simple sake of truth and justice. We do not rank ourselves nmong its thorough partizans.—• Perhaps it might now, without injury to itself, dispense with its rule of secrecy, though we see no necessity for this, and we are perfectly willing that it should judge and act fur itself iu this matter as in all others. In the.first place, its principles are as Well and as universally understood ds they could be if all of its members throughout the country were to proclaim them from the housetops, and in the second place, all political parties are and always have been secret in their proceedings so far as necessary to the accomplishment of their purposes.

This assertion -in relation to the old political parties is not made at random. Very soon after the close of President Washington's administration, the old Federal party, to promote its own strength, established what was called the Washington Society. This was a secret society secret in its plans 'and proceedings. Its branches or ramifications pervaded the whole Union.—The Democrats of that day, instead of waging war against this powerful society on the ground of its secrecy, made all haste to follow its example. They established the Tammany Society, which, like the Washington Society, was secret, and which, like the Washington Society, pervaded with its branches the entire nation. These two secret political societies, regulating the action of the two great parties of the country, continued in full activity up to about the time of the Monroe "era of good feeling and evf-n to this day there is a relic of the Tammany Society in New York, still existing under tho old name though somewhat changed in character. These reminiscences prove at least that the secrecy of the KnowNothing or American party is not by any means, as the Anti-Americans represent it, a bold innovation upon the past practice of parlies. We all know, that, even since .the dissolution of the Washington and Tammany Societies, it has been the uniform custom of both the Whig and Democratic parties to hold their caucuses and councils and arrange their plans of action in secret, and that, although those who have participated in such councils may not have taken oaths of secrecy, no one could reveal the secrets without exposing himself to scorn and denunciation as a base traitor, and, that this is the condition of things in the Democratic party at the present time and is likely to be so as long as the party itself shall endure.— Louisville Journal.

The LIQUOR LAW in NEW YORK.-^-A

The excitoment relative to the liquor law is beginning to assume, in some quarters, the shape of a positive panic. The butchers and drovers at the caule market sny they cannot sell cows for love nor money, owing to the stopping of the distfllers, cutting off the usual supply of swill. Hay has advanced in consequence, from seven to ten shillings the hundred, and it is contemplated to put up the price of milk to 10 cents a quart. One of the largest distillers in Williamsburgh closed yesterday two in Brooklyn notified their workmen that their services will not be needed after Saturday next. To offset these suspensions, however, one or two new establishments are preparing to open in Jersey City. At Johnson's distillery, in Sixieenih street, in this city, one hundred hands have been discharged.

Caors.—We were much gratified sn the occasion of a short ride into the country a few days ago, to witness the fine prospect for crops. Farmers generally say that wheat and grass never looked more promising for the reason. The ground too, is said to be in excellent order for corn and thf planting and sowing of Spring crops generally. i''- ... fH

FRUIT.—The prospect for fruit of sll kinds is represented as excellent. The peach tree is nuw in most magnificent blossomglorious for the eye to behold—and indiesting the chances of a heavy crop.'

As ststesmen, the quslifications of the twain sre pretty nearly balanced..

Again, if the Comnfodore established the Nicaragua Line," Live Oak George" bought two hundred thousand muskets. They ought to run as candidates for President and Vice President on the same ticket, and toss up for choice of position.

The total export of specie from this port for tho week ending April 21, about 82,000,000. Meanwhile, California is merely sending us a driblet now and then.

Onejaf the most remarkable features of the liquor law lately enacted by the Legislature of New York, is, that with all its pains and pennltjes against the traftic in spiritous and intoxicating liquors, it. places no restrictions on the manufacture of the article. Manufacturers are allowed to make as much liquor as they pleas?, and of any kind or quality which they may wish, provided they sell it beyond the limits of the State.

The recent decision of Justice Osborne. that a man who sells liquor on Sunday can be fined for only one offence no matter how many glasses he sells, or to how many persons, has had the effect of inducing the liquor dealers to reopen their establishments, and now intoxicating drink can be had without the trouble of seeking-it out as formerly. The fine is only $5. and they can stand that. On passing up Broadway one can see the liquor stores in full operation on every hand, an1 the City looks as though

TUB NEW LINE FOFT EUROPE—Com modore Vanderbilt's famous steamship. North Smr, sailed on Saturday, at noon, for Havre direct, on the first voyage of hi? Independent Line—independent of all Government aid. and in competition with other lines in receipt of mail moneys. The Commodore seems determined to try if a European line cannot sustain itself even against such odds, and at rates of fnre which place a visit to the Ola World within the reach of families as well as of individuals. The Nfirth Star earned 148 passengers. 8164.0Q0 in specie, and a large independent mail, also at reduced postage. The steamship Washington, for Southampton and Bremen, sailed also on Saturday^ with 159 passengers.

It is now said by the followers of Father Miller that the journalists have made a mistake in regard to the day fixed by that prophet for the final conflagration. They say the exhibition was advertised for the 19th of May instead of April. As the Millerites have made so many misyikcs in regard to the groat fire, they should not be surprised to find that the unprophetic may possibly sometimes misunderstand them. Ifthisshow should happen to be postponed again on account of the weather, people will perhaps begin to suspect that Father M. was a relative of bis name-sake, the prince of jokers, Joe Miller.

FTF: TUB ORGANIZATION. The Say Nights are now a fixed fact among us—an organized political body, embracing the worst elements of our foreign population, (at least so far as it can be seduced into such a suicidal course,) and the recklesa demagogues who heretofore have marshaled the foreign vote in the much abused name of the Democracy. The change of position, politically, will leave things a bout the same as before so far as foreign voters are concerned though we think the ao* ber, reflecting, order-loving naturalized citizens, When they see the tendency of this separation from the native population when they reflect that the American pa^y ia but a legitimate consequence of their exclusive course heretofore—leading in our cities, to violence and corruption—will hesitate before they conclude to lend themselves to the formation of a 'foreign party,' in opposition to the American' element. Their exclusiveness has already produced mischief enough, both to themselves and to the country. It is time they began to look to conaequences in the future.

There can be no mistake as to the organisation of secret societies all over the country, especially at the West, under the patronage of the General Government. In thia State Gen. Joel W. Wilson, of Tiffin, is the President of the order. We have the names of all of the officers of the 'Grand Council.' but deem it only necessary at present to dwell on the general facts. At Washington, the Post-Master General, a Roman Catholic, takes the concern under his patronage and one Johnes, who is a clerk at Washington, is maintained at the expense of the people, to collate tbe correspondence and elaborate the fscts gathered from different parts of the country—a work he ia well qualified for, if he can be kept sober and ender control. He is placed st Washington for ressoas which will strike any one on a moment's consideration be there can be furnished with printing, stationery, aad franks, to any extent. .These secret organizations sre no new thing in this Ststa.

Rev. Doctor CHEEVER writes: 1 NEW YORK, Nov. 15, 1854. DEAR SIR:—I think highly of Dr. Curus's Hygeana, as a remedy in disesses of the throat and lungs. Having had some opportunity to test its efficacy. 1 am convinced that it is a most excellent medicine, both the Syrup and the inhaling application to the chest.

DR- GUYSOTTS IMPROVED EXTRACT OF YELLOW DOCK AND SARSAPARILLA is a sure remedy for Hereditary Taint.

Thousands of individuals are curcd with grievous complaints which they inherit from their parents. The use of the Yellow Dock and Sarsaparilla will prevent all this and save a vast amount of misery, and many valuable lives, for it thoroughly expels from the system the Istent taint, which is the seed of disease, and so take off the curse by which the sins or misfortune of the parents are so often visited upon the innocent offspring.

Parents owe it to their children to .guard them against the effects of maladies that may be communicated by descect, and children of parents that have at any time been affected with '.'onsomption, Scrofula or'Syphilis, owe it to themselves to take precaution against the. disease being revived in them. Guysott's Extract of Yellow Dock and Sarsaparilla is a sure ftptidot in such cases. ,»¥
