The Union says of Mr. Lindley’s vindica- tion of the soundness of the Democracy of the Missouri Bentonians, essayed yesterday in the House hall: “ From his remarks we infer that he owed his election in a to the votes of the Benton- ites, and that he looks to them for a re-elec- tion; end hence it was natural that he should regard them as ‘sound democrats,’ to avoid the odium of ies, Spore elected by Black Republicans. On other hand, we — to take the unanimous judgment of the 0- cratic Convention at Cincinnati asto the sound- ness of the Bentonites rather than the opinion of Mr Lindley, who admits that it is strange for him to vindicate ‘the nationality of any democracy.’ When the Benton party adopt and endorse the Democratic platform we shall be ready to recognise them as sound Demo- erats; and whenever they do that, we sus- _ they will find a better Democrat than r. Lind Yor any Bentonian, to cast their votes upon.’’ It sounded singular, indeed, to us, to hear a gentleman well known to be a member of the Know Nothing order pleading lustily for the purity of Bentoniam Democracy. But these are days of strange things in politics. The Union further shows that the Evening Post’s ten Western German papers, whose editors recently met in Cincinnati and deter- mined to support the Republican party ticket, are all two-penny concerns, so far as their cir- culation and influence are concerned—the cir- culation and infiucnce of each of half adozen Buchanan Gorman papers being greater than the influence and circulation of the whole combined. The Intelligencer speaks highly of the nor- ination, by the Republicans, of ex-Senator Wm. L. Dayton, of New Jersey, for the Vice Presidency. ———6j97 oe WASBINGION NEWS AND GOSSIP. Long Faces.—The Whigs of Congress, who are now identified with the Republican party, are returning to Washington from Philadel- phia with very long faces, indeed. Most of them were advocates fur the nomination of Judge McLean, and are sorely disappointed by his defeat. We must do them the credit to say that they supported him mainly on ac- count of his pre-eminent fitness for the presi- dency when compered with his rivals for the Republican party nominations They are generally men of experience in public affairs, and know the importance of competency for the discharge of the responsibilities of the position, in one chosen to preside over the des- tinies of the United States. They now comprehend that the affairs of their new party are altogether in the hands of two dezcriptions of politicians, viz: disap- pointed Democrats, who war on their old party associates because, in the revolution in the affairs of the Democratic party occurring in the Baltimore Convention of 1344, they went to the wall; and, next, the speculators in legislation who hang around the lobbies in this city and the different State capitols. These last mentioned gentlemen have suc- ceeded so badly ander the present National Administration in the consummation of their plans; as that their souls are disgusted with the Democratic party, and they are anxious to turn it out of power. They knew that the chances are ten to one against Fillmore’s ob- taining @ single State; and, therefore, ‘went in”’ to secure the nomination of a cat’s-paw for themselves, by the Republican party conven- tion. They and such Democrats as F. P. Blair, Preston King, David Wilmot, et al , were far too sharp and effective at such a game for all the old line Whig statesmen who were re- cently congregated at Philadelphia; being able to buy and sell the latter over and over again without their knowledge a dozen times during the sitting of the Convention, if neces- sary to the consummation of their ends. The real public men identified with the Kepub- lican party organization now begin to compre- hend how they were used; and that Fremont was nominated simply to make a sort of bogus Democratic administration, and to pull trea- fury chestnuts out of the fire for the benefit of enterprising gcntlemen at this poiat. They are in high dudgeon, as might be expected. What is to grow out of the existing state of their minds is past our comprebensicn, though we cannot conceive what they can possibly de by way of helping themselves out of their dilemma. Their fate seems to us to be the task of playing second fiddle for the balance of their public lives, to those whom the De- mocracy bave long since slushed off as selfish echemers bent on profiting themselves at the expenee of every principle for which they were then nominally contending. The Odd Combination. —It looks extremely odd to see James Gordon Bennett, and his Herald, and Horace Greeley, aud his Tribune, working together for dear life, for Fremont. By way of illustrating the oddity of this last politics! combination, we suggest to the pub- lishers of Young Amertca, or Yankee No- tions, or some other such funny periodical, a wood-cut representing Col. Fremont mounted on the never to-be-forgotten woolly horse, with Bennett pulling bim towards the White House, by the ears, and Greeley belaboring him from bebind, by way of urging him in the same direction ! The truth is, Bennett is perfectly well aware that Mr. Buchanan knows too much to send him commissioned to represent this Govern- ment at Paris, and that Col. Fremont knows just ebout enough to do that thing Greeley. supports B., too, only because he believes that his administration cam be moulded to suit the fancy of his lesding supporters—his (G.’s) fency being to make it the means of carrying out his new fangled notions in the way of s0- called reforms. He was against all ‘ plat- forms’’ in Philadelphia, only because he wants his own peculiar platform to be the basis of the policy of the new administration. What that is, his many readers know. A story is in circulation here, saying thay Bennett and Greeley had a parlor together in Philadelphia, and were otherwise as thick as three ina bed. This must be nonsense—noth- ing more. Their identification in politics can hardly have so soon led to any such personal association between them. But give us the picture, Mr. Yankee Notions. A Successful Invention.—Charles Mahon, E3q., of this city, has invented, (and patented, we believe,) a contrivance for removing ob- structions from before railroad cars in cities. It is termed a “Safety Attachment to City Carz,’’ and consists of a plow-like attachment on each brake which, by the aid of a point traveling in the groove of the rail and pro- vided with two small wheels, one placed hori- zontally and one vertically to diminish the friction, throws out, with a kind of plow-like action, every obstruction of whatever nature. Recently it has been tried in the crowded thoroughfares of New York city, removing logs, stones, effigies of human beings weigh- ing one hundred and fifty pounds and less, placed in various positions on the rails to test the capacity of the machine to answer the purposes intended. According to the Tribune and Mirror, these experiments proved per- fectly satisfactory. We congratulate Mr. Ma- hon, the directors of city-line railway compa- nies, and the public, compelled, at times, to cross their tracks, upon this successful inven- tion. Mothers, whose children play in the streets of cities, may now rest easier when their darlings ‘* are out.”’ The Mystery of Politics —The recent pub- lication of the declarations in favor of Know Nothingism made by Col. Fremont, on the authority of members of the Massachusetts delegation in George Law’s late Convention, and the subsequent publication of a denial that he had given any pledge whatever to them, signed by three members of the delega- tion aforesaid, seem to puzzle straight-forward Know Nothings and Republicans amazingly They appear unable to comprehend the dis- crepancy in these contradictory stories, We can enlighten them in very few words. There is no doubt that Col. Fremont’s conversation with the Massachusetts delegation was cor- rectly represented in the first instance. But, on being made public, it was judged that its tendency would be to prevent him from re- ceiving the support of asingle foreign born voter, and also to alienate from him thousands of the Giddings Freesoilers, who have con- stantly opposed Know Nothingism up to this time. Hence, the three of the Massachusetts delegation who signed the subsequent card, were prevailed on to eat their words, in the hope of thus aiding Col. Fremont to escape the legitimate consequences of his indiscre- tion, ard that of the d—d good natured friends, who undertook to obtain his endorsement of Know Nothingism as one of the sovereign remedies for the existing ills of the State. Responsibility of Army Officers Directing Expendi.ures to be made.—A vessel waschar- tered for account of the United States for the transportation of troops from an Atlantic port to California. All the proper mess furniture, cooking apparatus, 4c., were, by the terms of the charter party, to be provided by the owners. The apparatus proved unsuitable and inadequate, and, by direction of the offi- cer commanding the troops, purchases and re- pairs on that account were made at the ex- pense of the United States. It was held that, asthe commanding officer who directed the expenditure did not note it on the certificate he gave of the service performed under the charter party, sothat the quartermaster might have deducted it from the amount due the owners, the United States ought not to suffer for his neglect; and the sum so paid was al- lowed to the disbursing officer, but charged to the officer who ordered the purchases. Sick at the Stomach.—The now so plain fact that the old line Whigs design supporting Buch- anan and Breckinridge with much unanimi- ty, having been announced in the Washington correspondence of all the northern journals employing writers here, has evidently made the Republican party press sick at the stomach. Neither the Hera/d, Tribune nor Times, of New York, can see the least pro- priety in their proposed course. They regard that determination as being a strange one, and fositively disgraceful to the Whigs, con- cerning whose future they suddenly manifest great solicitude, indeed. The Current Operations of the Treasury Department.—On yesterday, the 19th of June, there wore of Treasury warrants entered on the books of the Department— For redemption of Texas debt.... $48,030 14 For the redemption of stocks 17,467 60 For the Treasury Department. 15 00 For the Interior Department. 16,647 29 For Customs,..s.eccessees 12,934 55 From miscellaneous sources.. 5,492 66 ———— CONGRESSIONAL PROCEEDINGS; In the Senate, yesterday, after we went to press, the resolution reported by Mr. Pearce from the Library (joint) Committee, for the | meme of books forthe members of both jouses was passe d—yeas 20, nays 12.

In the House, Mr. Wasbburne, of Me., asked leave to make a personal explanation ; but objection being made for the time being, the question was put on Mr. Millson’s pending motion to lay on the table the long-pending motion of Mr. Jones, of Tenn., to amend the journal, wherein that represents that Mr. Ed- ward's no semen aren of the seat of gov- ernmen introduced ; lai on the table—yeas oo, eaves. _ Mr. Washburn of Me., renewed his request be hc Permitted to make a personal explana- va Ohne ao of Als., objected ; soleave ¢ was moved by Mr. Carlile to go into s Committee of the Committos of the Whole on the state of the Mr. Fuller presented Tesolutions of the 1 islature of Maine, which were jai and ordered to be printed without being toed” They then went into Committee on vatecaiéndor, (Mr Loiterinthe chatr,) wiore in they were considering Stor went to press. private bills a; the The Race. The different nags offered as candidates for the Presidential race are being trotted out by their backers, and, as the list is getting some- what extensive and might puzzle the memory, we put it down in print, and our ieaders can select from it a ticket at their leisure : First im the field were the nominees of the American National Convention at Philadel- phia: Millard Fillmore, of New York, for President, and Andrew Jackson Donelson, of Tennessee, for Vice President. The Cincinnati Convention put upon the track James Bachanan, of Pennsylvania, for President, and John C. Breckinridge, of Ken- tucky, for Vice President. The seceders from the American National Convention start Nathaniel P. Banks, of Mas- sachusetts, for President, and ex-Governor Johnston, of Pennsylvania, for Vice Presi- dent. The seceders from the seceders from the American National Convention put up Com- modore Stockton, of New Jersey, for Presi- dent, and Kenneth Rayner, of North Caro- lina, for Vice President. The Republican Convention in Philadelphia, have just started John C. Fremont, of Cali- fornia for President, and Wm. L. Dayton, of New Jersey, for Vice President. In addition to these, the Spiritualists have nominated Judge Edmonds for the Presidency. The Abolitionists, ‘‘pure and undefiled,” have nominated Gerrit Smith for the same office. The officers of the National camp, order “United Sons of America,’’ have called a convention of the Order, to assemble in Balti- more on Friday, July 4th, and which will, doubtless, result in more nominations. Then the glass-b/owers of the country have called a convention, and quite likely they may put a candidate on the track; and with their formidable “ blowing’’.availments brought in requisition, their candidate might prove a formidable competitor. The course is still open. Who offers next? PERSONAL. +++» Hon. T. B. King, of Georgia, is at Wil- lard: sees W. J. Weld, the leading shipowner of New England, is at Willards’. +-++Hon.

Asa Cummings, for many years editor of the “Christian Mirror” The par- ticulars of his death have not yet been ob tained. He was on hia return from Panama, whither he had been to visita daughter, and who, itis believed, was accompanying him home. All that is yet known is that he died on board the steamer George Law, and that his body was committed to the deep, it being impossible to bring it home. Mr. Cummirgs condueted the Mirror with marked ability, but had been compelled to relinquish it in consequence of the bitter opposition raised Pree him by the abolitionists in consequence his conservatism upon the slavery question. +9 Matrimoniat Excaance —Thirty odd cou- ples just noosed were at Niagara within a week—at the International, Cataract, and other houses—W ashington is ‘‘ the exchange’? in winter; Niagara in early summer; Sara- toga and Newport anon.

CounseL.—But few of the reading public are aware how continually an editor is called upon to advise his patrons on every subject, from politics to the breed of cattle. Through the whole range of our duties none has per plexed us more than to tell our readers what to take for a cure when they are sick. Hith- erto this has been a severe trial to all cur skill, but it will not be hereafter. We have been taking, and have seen the evidence from others that have taken Dr. Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral and Cathartic Pills. They need but a slight trial to convince the most sceptical how far they are superior to the other medi- cines we have had in use.

Boqurts or Frowers —Some flowers may be kept in great beauty for a much longer pe- riod than others, and many for a longer time than is generally done, or even supposed sible. For this purpose, the flowers should be athered eatly inthe morning, but not till the dew is nearly dried off them. They should be placed in a flat basket, or on a tray, so as not to press upon or crowd each other, and the; uld be neatly cut, and not mangled or bruised. When thus gathered, they should be covered with a sheet of paper, imme- diately conveyed to the spartment where they are to be used, if that a ent be near at hand ; but if are to be sent any dis- tance, they should be placed in tin cases.
