WHAT A DEMOCRATIC PAPE!
SAYS. ”
•• Such," the Richmond Enquirer as
serts, “is the ever recurring emblazon
nent of ti.e • Opposition’ press—' wha
tiie Southern Citizen says ; or the \\ ash
ington States says; or the Charlesto
.W-r-ury says; or the Richmond Enquire
aays; or the Alabama Signal says; o
the Flag says; or the Times says; o
the .Advertiser says—or some other Demo
cralic paper says. Indeed, the whole sta
pie of the Opposition argument consist
of the out-spoken patriotic protests of th
Democratic press against the invasion c
Democratic policy, or the violation c
Democratic principles,
Ii is true, too, that the objections urge
by tho Democratic press against this Ad
ministration are not a leather in the seal
against the objections urged by that sam
independent, unsought, unpUrchasabl
press, against an opposition which has n
nr incites uf its own, and which blushless
ly avows itself the advocate ol tiie tvors
parts of Democratic malfeasance.
If the ‘Democratic papers’ are sue
high authority with the ' Opposition,’ pra;
why do they not refresh their read**rs wit
what they sny of a hideous conspiracy c
political freebooters, who have bar.de
themselves together for no purpose unde
the sun I ut to plunder the public tren.-ui
and level in the spoils of iniquitous tax a
lion?—a conspiracy as reckless as that c
Caleaby. which steals an honorable name
and binds itself together like the associ
ntes of Guy Fawkes, by oath o, secrecy
and impudently parades the badges o
virtue as disguises of its horrible object:
Language cannot convey an adequat
idea of that desperation which would nt
confine itself to jlie murderous gunpou'de
pint, by which a wicked Stuart, nod
vacillating Parliament were to be blowi
into eternity, but would nearly bury ou
American Constitution and Americai
liberties, in the ruins of the Democrati
party—of Democratic principles and Dem
ocratic policy.
It is the glory of the Democratic pres
that it dares to expose the errors of evei
Democratic Administrations and rebuk
the wanderings of honored Democrati
chiefs. Tne people will not fail to per
ceive that herein lies their security —a fre
pnss, that will not disguise their perils o
palter with them in a limiter which con
cerns their rights and the integrity of thei
constitutions. It is the glory ol the Dent
ocratic party that it sustains such a pres
and derides the canting hypocrisy of ai
veil this shield into a sword.”
-Cast Steel by one Operation. —
Mr. Brookbam, of London, claims to hav
discovered a method of producing cas
steel from any kind of iron bv one opera
tion. The claim of the patentee says tie
process consists in “ cementing portions o
iron or steel of any description in a cruci
hie or furnace by means of alkaline o
earthly materials in states of oxyde o
sills.” For the conversion of an inferio
quality of iron or steel into a superior ar
tide, he uses about 3 per cent, ol alkalini
material, and from 2j to 3 per cent, o
carbon or carbonaceous matter, such a
rosin or soot.

must have it anyhow. ”

Napoleon s Communication to the French
Legislature.
Paris. May 8, 1839.—The following
> is the communication of the government
lo the legislature :
Austria, by ordering her army into the
territory oT Sardinia, our ally, has de
clared war ngainst us. She thus violates
our treaties and menaces our frontiers.
All the great powers have protested
against this act of aggression. Piedmont
having accepted conditions, one asks what
I can he the reason of this sudden invasion?
. It is becn««e Austria has driven matters
iu sue it im extremity mat ner nonunion
must extend to the Alps, or Italy must lie
: free to the shores of the Adriatic, or every
! corner of Italy which remains indepen
. dent endangers the power of Austria.
Hitherto moderation has been the rule
of my conduct, but now energy becomes
my first duty. France must now to arms,
and resolutely tell Europe 1 wish not lor
i conquest, t ut I am determined fully to
i maintain my national and traditional polr
t cy. I observe treaties on condition that
they are not violated against me. I re
' sped territories and the rights of neutral
powers, but I boldly avow my sympathies
, with a people whose history is mingled
with my own, and who now groan under
foreign oppression.
France has shown her hatred of anar
chy. Her will was to give me power
1 sufficient to reduce into subjection abet
tors of disorder, and incorrigible members
- ol the old factions, who were incessantly
concluding compacts with our enemies ;
’ hut who has not, for that purpose, aban
doned her civilizing character. Her nat
ural allies have always been those whe
1 desire the amelioration of the human race,
r and when she draws the sword, ’us not te
r govern, hut to free. The object, then, ol
this war, is to restore Italy to herself, not
to impose upon her a change of masters,
and we shall then have upon our frontiers
a friendly people, who will owe to us theii
s independence. We do noj. enter Italy tc
ferment disorder, or to disturb the power
j- of our holy father, whom we replaced up
j- on his tnrone; but to remove from him
this foreign pressure which lindens the
whole peninsula, and to litdp to establish
I cider there, bused upon lawful satisfied
. interests. In fine, then, we enter this
, classic ground, rendered illustrious by sc.
many victories, to seek the footsteps of out
? lathers. God grant that we may he wor
e thy of them.
) 1 am about to place myself at the head
. of the army, 1 leave to France the
Empress and my son, seconded by the
experience and enlightenment ol the Iasi
Emperor's surviving brother. She wifi
1 understand how to show herself worthy
t Hit-, grandeur of her mission. 1 confide
i them to the valor of the army which ;e
. mains in France to keep watch upon our
. j frontier and guard our hones. 1 confide
; them to the patriotism of the National
‘ ! Guard. I confide them, in a word, to the
! entire people, who will encircle them with
. that affection and d .-voleduess ot which 1
j- daily receive so many proofs. Courage,
then, and union.

t Lynching in Pontotoc County.—
,. tVe learn from a gentleman, who came
from Pontotoc day before yesterday, that
1 on Sunday week, as a Mr. L. E. D. Rob
1! erts, a planter living near Ellistown, in
r that county, was going to church, he was
) waylaid by a man named Holladay, who
. fired at him with a shot-gun. Twenty
nine buck-shot entered his body, which
produced instant death. Holladay imme
diately fled. The whole neighborhood
5 was aroused to a phrenzy ol excitement
, so soon as the bloody deed became known.
Men mounted on the fleetest horses,
scoured the country in every direction for
Holladay, and a party struck bis trail
• leading north. They pursued him to
: Burnesville, in Tishomingo county, where
, lie was captured and brought back to
Ellistown. Judge Lynch considered the
case a capital offense, and, oil Saturday
1 ; evening. Holladay was taken to the scai
• fold and executed by the citizens.
s Our informant describes the excitement
j aitendent upon the execution as very great.
This is the third man executed by mobs
in Pontotoc county ultlirn the pa-t two
years.
It seems that Roberts and Holladay,
. piior to the shooting, had threatened to

Loans to the Fighting Powers—Europe
on the brink of bankruptcy.
From the tel'gnphic news from Eu
rope by way of Quebec, published in yes
; terday’s Herald, it appears that Louis
Napoleon asks fora loan of 500,000,000
francs ($100,000,000) to carry on the
campaign in Italy, in which he is to take
the command in person. The loan lately
put in the market by Russia, now the ally
of Napoleon, is $60,000,000. Besides
i these there are in the market a loan for
| Austria of $30,000,000, which hitherto
I she has been unable to sell, but has seiz
j ed instead the meiallic currency of the
Austrian banks; a loan for Sardinia of
| $25,000,000, which she has succeeded In
'obtaining; a loan for Prussia of 845,000.
I 000, ami a loan for England in behalf of
i India for $30,000,000.
The total amount of new loans in the
j market is $290 000,000, besides over 10,
' 000,000,000 already due by these govern
; meats. The effect of the coming war will
be to make them all bankrupt. The
annual interest on tiro debt of England
alone is8120,000 000. The annual ex
pense of her army and navy is $157,
500.000. Her whole annual expense is
340.000. 000. Russia owes $930,090,
000 and the annual expense of her army
1 and navy is $73,500,000. France is in a
i similar predicament. They will not be
able to pay the interest, and a crash will
take place that will shake all Emope.
The effect, outlie contrary, upon the Uni
ted Siaies, will be to enable the govern
ment to pay off our national debt. The
demand for agricultural products will great
ly increase with the war, and consequent
ly a vast amount of manufactured articles
will be sent over here to pay for the food
of the fighting armies. Our revenue will
be so increased from the duties on these
goods, that soon the national debt will be
wiped out, while the nations of Europe
will be involved in a bankruptcy from
which they can never recover, and thou
sands upon thousands of fundholders will
he ruined. Already the funds in England
have rapidly fallen, and forty stock bo
kers have failed. This is but “thebe
ginning of sorrows.” War is not a pro
ductive, but a destructive art. Not only
is a vast number of men taken away from
the cultivation of the soil and all the arts
of industry, but the growing crops are
laid waste, agriculture is neglected, the
operations .of trade and commerce are
interfered with, and immense property is
destroyed by the armies who are main
tained by the toil of civilians. But this
cannot always last—poverty and bank
ruptcy inevitably ensue. Tuis is the le
gitimate consequence to which wars ui
aggrandizement lead those nations who
permit their rulers to spend their money
and shed their blood like water for the
purpose of gratifying a guilty ambition, a
base revenge, and other selfish passions ol
human nature.
The Experiment of Free Neqroism.
—Jus. It. Redpath has recently been on
a visit to the negro republic of Ilayti, and
is writing a series of articles for the New
York Tribune, which gives a most unfa
vorable account of the morals and the con
dition of the people of that country. Mr.
Redpaih’s account of the morals is truly
deplorable. He says marriage is almost
unknown. Promiscuous association de
grades neither the man nor woman in the
estimation ot society. The correspondent
says the doctrine of free iove, as applica
ble to the present condition ol' society, has
had free scope there for many years, and
a more utteily demoralizing system, or
one better adapted to drive out all purity
there is from the earth, can scarcely be
conceived of.— ("Memphis Avalanche.

Dancing at a Friend's Death.—
The folly and hearilessness ol the devo
IV V J VI U V jrv I UIVIV. HJ UKIWVV 111 VUt All UUUV
iug, are thus vividly portrayed by the rela
tion of the following incident,as published
in the Louisville Courier, of the 12th inst:
“ Among the many life and death inci
dents daily occurring, we have seldom
heard of any one that struck us so forcibly
ns a scene that took place on i!,e steamer
James Montgomery, while in the Ohio
river, on Monday night. Among the
passengers was a parly from New Orleans,
destined for their home til Cloverport, in
cluding an invalid physician and several
of Ins female relations and acquaintances.
After supper a cotillion party was got up
S among the passengers in the cabin, and
I the friends of the sick man joined in the
dance. Just at the height ol their festivi
ties, it was announced that the invalid had
suddenly relapsed, and was dying in his
room; and his friends had barely lime to
reach his side before he expired.”
The African Slave Trade.—The
crew of the slaver •* Echo " were recently
tried at Charleston, S. C., for violation of
the United States laws prohibiting the iru
portation of negroes from Africa. The
prosecution waa conducted with great abil
ity. anJ every eflorl made to convict the
accused, hut it signally failed. They
were acquitted.
A similar verdict will be given in every
jease of this kind, and negroes can now he
freely brought fiotn Africa tulo the South

YVe may then consider the trade as to
all intents and purpose fully re-opened.
It is true there are stringent Congressional
enactments against it, hut no one need
rest under any dread of punishment when

will convict him.

THE TRIAL OF COSGROVE.
This trial, commencing oil Tuesday,
closed on Saturday, (the 14th inst ;) and
the jury returned a verdict of guilty, after j
being out nbout twenty minutes. The j
principal facts in the case are adverted to
in the address of tin; judge to the prisoner j
upon sentencing him, which we give he- j
low. This case has excited much interest, j
because of the motive that prompted the |
i commission of the murder being so unusual j
, in the South, and the cruel circumstances
attending it. Lester was killed that Cos- j
grove might obtain possession of a small
sum of money, and the first blow, having ;
partially missed its aim, was followed up
by stabbing and cutting the throat of the
victim :
| “ Murder most foul, as at the best it is;
But this most foul, strange, ami unnatural.”
While we believe that “ the worst use
you can put a man to is to hang him," yet
there are crimes so atrocious and revolting
that they call for the severest punishment;
which justice lias in store for offenders. !
j Cosgrove was ably defended by Messrs. ,
| W illiams and Jordan, who fought every
inch of the ground, and did nil that men
I could do for their client. Hilt the evidetnte
j was so full, direct, and overwhelming, that
| they could not break its force, or turn its
i point.
After the rendition of the verdict, the
prisoner, being aski I if he had anything
to say why sentence o! death should not
be passed upon him, made some remarks
: to the effect that some of the witnesses
! had done him injustice, and asserted that j
| he was innocent. Li response to the j
J remarks ol the prisoner, his Honor, Judge j
iCIendenin, thus proceeded to pronounce
jSENTENCE OF DEATH:
i “ I have listened with deep attention to the
icuiaiM..' v'_‘u - - • igiu x uiii ooi i j
i say to you, that those remarks have not, in
‘the slightest degree, weakened my convictions
of the justness of the verdict rendered against
I you. The testimony as it was detailed was
| overwhelming agiinst ion. and 1 must say
I that in an expert: ce of .-.'most twenty-five
I years in the practice of the law and the ad
ministration of . - . this State, I have
never read or heard a more perfect chain of
circumstances.
It was proven that on the evening of the
19'.h of f'ebr ;ary. las;. yi-*ft your hoarding
house in company with deceased about dusk ;
; you were trai. ?'.ep r st^p. in company
I with your v ;; with . a short distance of
a ior.e’y a: on the bank of the
| river—and there the darkness of night hid you
! from the eyes i ram. th^-igli the All-seeing
1 r first blow failed in
; part of its purpose, and the cry of agony from
your victim was heard. The next morning
ihe ground was examined; the marks of a
deadly struggle—the pools of blood—the trace
of a body dragged to the river, showed that
violence hid been done; a portion of torn
! cl Vbtng, with letters stained with blood, to d
| who was the victim. Vou were arrested—
your garments perfectly identified, were found
where you had left them stained ail over with
blood ; the body of the deceased was found in
the river, barbarously mangled. You have
failed to account for your presence elsewhere
that night. These, with numerous other cir
cumstances too painful for me now to refer
to. could leave no shadow of doubt on the
minds of the jury that you were guilty.
Your victim was a youthful stranger from a
neighboring State, who came to this, on an
errand of mercy and kindness to one of his
kindred, and who had selected you as his
friend.
These facts and this verdict place you be
yond ttie pale of human mercy and forgive
ness ; you cannot hope or expect that man
would pardon so terrible a crime; but while
your fellow man cannot pardon you, there is
a source from whence you may receive it; and
I charge and pray you to waste not the few
days which may yet be allotted to you on
earth, in vain hones or expectations, but look
to your God—ask mercy from Him, and you
may receive pardon for this great sin as well
as others.
You iiave had a fair and impartial trial by a
jury selected by yourself from distant parts
of the county. You have been defended by
counsel of great zeal and acknowledged abili
ty, who have done their whole duty to you—
but with the evidence of this case, the elo
iience and ingenuity of man could have avail
led you noihing. You sealed your own doom
i by the commission of this crime, and it must
be expiated by the penalty of the law.
Ami all that now remains in your case.
Charles Cosgrove, is to pronounce the sentence
of the cou-t, whi U is : That you be remand
i «d to the jail of this county, there to remain
until Friday, the 10th day of June next, to be
t..keu from thence b tween the hours of eleven
o'clock in the morning and one o'clock in the
afternoon, to the place of execution, and here
bu ig by the neck until you are dead ; and may
God have mercy on your soul.”

Mu Stanton's Letter on Kansas
Affairs.—The propensity for letter-wri
ting of Mr. F. P. Stanton, whom our
readers may remember as at one time
Secretary of State for the Territory of
Kansas, last manifested itself in the form
! ol a letter to the editor of the Kansas
j Herald of Freedom, which, however, does
j not reveal anything new or important,
! though it proves his continued vindictive
j ness and hostility to the Administration;
, a fact which ,ve suppose does not particu
j lariy concern any one but himself. The
j three points in the letter which alone are
i worthy of notice are : that “ he concedes
the point that Kansas will be a free State;”
that her interests will be promoted by the
exclusion of slavery ; and that the people
of Kansas had better not meddle with
national politics.
The first point was long since apparent
to everybody who looked at the true s'ate
of the case ; the second is the foundation
and reai cause of the first; and as to the
| third, the electors in that Territory, who
are so soon to lake a part in a presidential
contest, will doubtless exercise their own
discretion. The announcement of Mr.
Stanton that he is not yet prepared to act
either with the Democratic or Republican
party, will not create any great public un

GREAT FIRE IN MEMPHIS.
Another destructive fire broke out, about
two o’clock on Wednesday morning, the
18th ,inst., in the large brick building
known as the “ Stevenson Block,’’ on the '
corner of Washington and Main streets, >
which speedily communicated to the large |
warehouse of J. L. Case &. Co., in the rear, ,
entirely consuming both. The flames:
were first discovered in the house ol J. ;
Coats, No. 161 Main street, used as a I
stove, grate and tinware depot, and were ,
doubtless communicated to it by the torch |
of an incendiary, who it is thought, ignited *■
a barrel of turpentine and some other com-j 1
bustible naterials near a back window ot •
the building. The furniture warehouse of;
Zent Si Trabue, No. 1G3, next door below, 1
and the feed and provision store of Frank ,
Smith & Co.. No. 159, next door above, ]
were soon enveloped in a sheet ot;
lire, which gradually woike.d its way 1
despite the gallant exertions of the fine
men, to the agricultural implement estab
lishment of David McComb, trie wholesale
grocery of II. Dow, and the liquor house
of H. II. Mette, who occupied the corner j
building of the block.
The large warehouse of J. L. Case
Si Co., fronting on Washington street, and j
running back the entire length ot the
Stevenson block, washy this tune envel-j
oped m a sheet of flame, which, notwith- I
standing the heavy rain that had fallen an
hour previous, licked up everything in itf
way, and raged with uncontrollable fury,!
owing to lire combustible nature of the
material with which it was fed. Messrs.
Case Si Co. had a large amount of hay in
stoie, and Frank Smith Si Co. had also
three hundred barrels of flour in the rear
of the warehouse, all of which were en
tirely consumed.
It is thought that much of property de
stroyed might have been saved, had it not
been for the scarcity of water. Thu en
gines had nearly all to be supplied from
one cistern, the contents of which were
speedily exhausted. When the block was
fairly enveloped in flames, the best the
firemen could do was to save the adjoining
buildings, none of which, we believe, sus
tained any material damage, with the ex
ception of the gunsmith shop of E. Wolf,
which was slightly damaged by a falling
wall.
