Movements of the Democratic Leaders— Meeting of the Extremes—The Proposed Extraordwmary Ap- | propriation—General Topics For somo years past the democratio party has deen racked by dissontions, and split up into hostile and apparently irreeoncilable factions. The differ- ences which have existed had their real origin in eonflicting personal and {sectional ambitions, al- though the contending parties gen -*onvenient to put them on the higher ground of principle. We had Southern democrats and Northern democrats, subdivided into firo-eaters and conservatives at the South, and free seilors and con- servatives, or, more classically, ‘old fogies,”. ai the North, with an intermixture, in all sootions, of a party sharing neither the ambitions nor the hatreds ofany, possessing seme national and many vital _@lements, and called “ Young America.” This party, previous to the Baltimero Convention, began to draw around it the men of ideas and of pregress, and had become an important, and, ia the eyes of ‘tho democracy at large, the savieg eonstituent in the long- distracted organization which had boon broken down by the personal hostilitios of Van Boren and Cass.

Tho result was » nominn- ‘tion, utterly irrespestive of all previous factional ‘otgenixations, in the solection of a man unoxsep- tionable to all and committed to mone.

Bavarian affairs wore in a bad state, expecially the condition of the army. The troops were poorly pais. ignerant, idle, dissolute, and ef course aure- jiable. With ample funds at his command, Sir Bevjamin eventually succeeded in sotting thin; to rights. The country, also, was in a fair way to be overrun and sacked by beggars; they were tele- rated everywhere, and demanded alms of every by asa vested right. Tho priesthood, stu- te in colleges, inmates of convents, apprentices, among others, all bogged their livings. Sir Benjamin set himself at work to reform the abuse and bag the beggars. He sorely fitted up @ large unecou- pied factory with dormitories, work shops, soup- boilers, aad every convenionee for the employment of 2.000 paupers. On the lst of January, 1790, orders having previously becn givon to the offiosrs ofthe garrison to hold their troops in readiness, Sir Benjamin, with the officers, walked imto tho streets, and, with his own hands, seisod the first beggar. His example was 80 well follewed up, that before night-fall every beggar in Mucioh had boon arrost- ed. No less then & year. upon a soup diet invented by Sir Bonjania, was $25,000. or only $9 6240 perman The sysiom was succes:fally followed throughout Bavi giv- ing great satisfaction to both the goverameat and the beggars, saving a vast amount of money and ihe Dogp well as groatly improving the morals of the people. Bir Bevjamin also established a military school at Munich, and gre: promoted the interests ofagriculture amd horticulture. He converted # tract of waste land, fori 7 ® hunting park of the Electer, into a splendid public garden, divorsifed with walks, rivers, an artificial lake a Tt was six miles in circ and had an extensive drive- way round it, cont! a coffee heuse, whore refreshments wore turni for visiters, After his departure from Bavarit the people wed their gratitude by erco! monument in honor of him in this garden. C he Elector, was not less gratefal, and im turn, a mombor of the Council of Btate, Majer General in the army, a Knight of Poland, @ member of the Aeadomies of Science of Munich, Manheim, and Borlin, Commander in-Ohiof of the General S:aff, Minister of War, Supsrinten- dent 0: the Bavarian Police, Chief of the Regency during the absence of the Flector, and Count of the Holy Roman Empire. To this last dignity was added the titio of ** Rumford,” the early name of this town (Concord), where he formerly resided | and married. We havo seen that Sir Benjamin was separated from his family, soon after his first marriage, by the revolutionary troubles, which introduced him to the European potemsates. His first wife in 1762, his daughter, the late Countess, thon about twonty years of age, joined him in Eug- land, where he was on & it, reoruiting his health. which had suffered considerably from the se vere labor he had undergone while in the Bavarian service. In 1796, he returned to Munich The ad- vance of the French republican army, under Moreau, obliged the Elector to quit the one leaving a council of regenoy, with Count Rumford at the head. He su in preserving the neutrality of Bava- ria, and freeing it from invasion, and thus increased his previous high reputation, both with the Eieotor andthe people Among other tokens of the for- mer’s gratitude, the Count was permitted to settle one-half of a pension which he enjoyed, then amount- ing to about £1,200, ($6,000,) upon his daughter, the late Countess. [ believe that for several yoars he has never received over $1.000 per anu in consequence of the English legal fiction w! declares that a bora subject oannos alienate bis allegiance. This so mortified the Count, added to the deep grief eaused by the de in 1799, of his friend and patron, the Elector Chi Theedore, that Count Rumford for a contemplated re- turning to the United States, having recei formal invitation from this govermament. He induced to change his mind, however, and fora time remained in England, pursuing his faverite philo sophical avecations, founding the ‘‘Reyal Instita- tion,” which can boast of subsequently givieg em ployment to such public benefactors as Tnomas Young, Sir Humphrey Davy, Brande and Faraday Count Ramford gave this institution the greatest pars of hia private philosophical apparatus, valusblo | models, &e. It was founded through his ¢florts, tion to sustain it. Tewnford returaed to Bavaria, after the accession of Maximilian, the new Elector, soon after 1500. He found his favorite workhouse and soup distri- eae establishment abandencd, and was so dis- gusted thereat that, after assisting te model » Ba vatian Academy of 5: os, he changed resi- dence to Parie—his ghter, the Iate Countosss, having previously returmed to roside with his mother, at Woburn, Massachusetts. At Paris the Count married his second wife. Not in 1800, meinly | heeding the maxim of tho elder Weller to his son | Bamuel, the Count unfortunately chose anc aor widow, formerly the wifo of theeslebrated irensh chemist, Lavoisier, put to death during the Freach revolution. This last matrimonial ex; at was not productive of domestic felicity, and the parties soon separated. Ramford also became unpopalar in | the first ciroles of Paris, @uvier hints that he was coarse, and ne gentleman; but this was not in ae- cordance with hi) previous life in America and Eng- land, his intereourse with Governor Wentworth, &o. The probability is, that the Count had a good opin- jon of himself, and relied principally upon his own judgment, while he deferred but little to the opin- jens of others. Perhaps this will account for his ua- popularity among the American ta in his early years, _ the French philosophers in the latter pe- rion ie ia August, 1814, aged 64 years fer persisted im pursuing his usu’ amounting to some $1,100 per annum, fer the ford professorship; or, in the words of his will, solences, for th provement of the useful arts, and for the oxte ot tho industry, prosperity, happi- | mesa and woll- ig of society.” ad, in amounted to about $€29,000, and endows f the most valuable professorships in the Uni- versity.
