writings of the great Greek hiatori&n, hot has pe

condition of the Greeks, Egyptians, Persians, Baby

blending happily sacred and profane history, and
casting an air of verasimiiitude over the whole that
is ]K*rfectly astonishing.
T. > tin; student of ancient history, as well as to the

Poems.—By Ri< hard Chenkvix Tkknch. lvol.
12 mo., ‘&H i pp. New York : Redfield.
There in probably no man more deserving to rank
high among the religious poets <i( the age than the
Rev. R C. Trench, the accomplished author of
Synonyms of tie New Testament, Lesson* on
Proverbs, Calderon, and other work* which have
gained well merited fame in England. The
l ‘"-ms in the present volume comprise about
one half of those he has published during a series of
years, and will enable the reader to appreciate his
poetic talents Among tin: poems we would particu
larize the story of Justin Martyr, the Monk and
Bird and Oenovevn, a* being of exceeding beauty.
The ffne ballad* of Alma and lialaklava, are doubt
k* already familiar to many. Mr Redfield has
published this volume in a style worthy of the poet.

The American C onvention.
It ie time that tbe member* of the American
Party, in every county in the State, were moving
in the matter of seuding Delegate* to the American
State Convention. It i* desirable to have every
county represented. The larger the Convention the
better, b<?eau*e it infu&e* into its members a new
and increased zeal in the cause, and they diffuse it
among the people. Prepare, therefore, to be repre
sented. Send forth your Delegates that you may
be heard and Jelt in its deliberations.
The Democratic Content.
Now that tbe Democrats have nominated Mr.
Buck as an for the Presidency, we can review the
conduct of the meu who have been thrust forward
as the leading candidates by this party. The fatui
ty with which Mr. Pierce clung to the belief that he
would prove acceptable to the majority, after he had
committed political suicide, is almost marvellous.
It would have been possible for biin to have re
trieved, in some small degree, his many sins of
omission and commission, by showing a disposition
to retire into his native obscurity at the earliest
possible opportunity ; but to presume that tbe man
wlio had embroiled the country in civil discord, who
had played a loug game of fast and loose with every
question of import* from Nicaragua to Cuba, and
who had brought us to the eve of a foreign war. for
no other purpose than to court the smiles of some
contract-mongers, creatures who like vultures, fat
ten in times of carnage, could be permitted again to
tritie with our liberties and our rights, seems but to
verify the ancient adage, that those whom the Coda
wi»h to destroy tiiey first make mad.
With .Mr. Douglas, the reckless abettor of Mr.
Pierce in all his misdeeds, we can have no possible
sympathy in his disappointment. \\ e view him as
an unscrupulous man, who would willingly sacrifice
his country's integrity in order to gratify his person
al ambition. His pretence of throwing the whole of
his small Vermont body into the arms of the South
ern Democracy, has been fully exposed by his de
claration to his Illinois electors, that the Kansas-
Nebranka bill was a Northern rnea*ure. The rise of
this politician ha* only been less sudden than will be
his fall, and we rejoice to think that the culminating
point in his career has been reached.
Forty odd years of public life have drawn from
Mr. Buchanan alike ail his good and evil qualities.
Not a man in the country is more known or les*
trusted. It shows the desperate plight to which the
Southern Democracy have been reduced, that they
should have to coalesce with the Freeaoil Democracy
at the eleventh hour, and cast their votes for one
whose freesoiliam wo* distinctly proclaimed in hi*
speech on the admission of Texas, who admitted
the legal competency of Congress to abolish
slavery in the District of Columbia, and who
leagueing himself with the foreign filibustering
spirit a* personified in the ex-Frenchman, Pierre
Soule declared at Ostend tlmtjif Spain would
not sell Cuba the United States would be justified
in wresting it from her. There are those who can
not distinguish between a Jplaceman and a states
man, and with such as these Mr. Buchanan passes
for the latter , but It would be impossible for any
one of his supporters to point to an act in his loug
career which has displayed the smallest proof of
He is an aged person who has been e<?l-like in his
twistings. Now the friend of Americans, and anon
the supporter of foreigners; now for limiting South
ern institutions to a certain boundary, and anon for
giving them full scope ; now seeking to hi te his
wrinkles by donning the garb of Young America
and anon shrinking even from the bold dignity of
Conservatives and falling into absolute old fogy
i*m. In England the admirer of free trade, and in
Pennsylvania the supporter of protection , iu Cin
cinnati willing to endorse a platform that wouid
require a combination of the political and military
genius of a Napoleon to carry' it out, and in Europe
seconding the ponce crotchets of Mr. Cobden.—
Everywhere inconsistent, vacillating and feeble,
Mr. Buchanan is exposed in his extreme old ago to
run the Presidential race instead of retiring to that
seclusion, so needful to a person of his years and
deed*, and repenting of his muny transgressions
To compare Mr. Fillmore, the American nominee,
the true patriotic statesman, who has been tried and
found not wanting, with Mr. Buchanan, the frail
and fickle Democrat, would be an outrage. Mr.
Fillmore is still the only choice for Americans.
Mr. Buchanan—A Sketch.
The following sketch, personal and political of
Mr. Buchanan, we find in the “Organ .”
Mr. Buchanan is a gentleman of fine personal ap
oearance, of mature age and experience, an olu
u*hioned Federalist of the school of the elder
Adams, a modern Democrat, once a good sound Na
tive American, was a strenuous advocate of the Mis
souri compromise line ; advocated its extension to
the Pacific Ocean ; was opposed, a few years ago,
to theexten*ion of slavery into the Territories; made
a speech in 1853 in favor of building a railroad to
the Pacific Ocean out of the National Treasury,
but is very willing to accommodate his notions t<>
the exigencies of the party which supports him, ami
is now, of course, in favor of all the resolutions
which the Convention adopted, and would not have
objected to any others they might have presented.
As he was violently opposed to the last war with
England, we presume, byway of compensation, he
would have pledged himself in favor of the next
war, if he had been called upon to respond to an in
quiry on this point.
With such antecedents, and the sketch true to
the life, he inay with the greatest facility adapt
himself to any platform, which the democratic-plat
form mongers could concoct.
The Georgia Platform.
The fate of the Ge orgia Platform in the Cincin
nati Convention, is thus chronicled by the corres
pondent of the New York Times. A correspondent
of the New York Times , under date of Thursday,
writes a* follows :
In the Committee on Resolutions last night,
Thompson, of Mississippi, moved the adoption of
the Georgia Platform—that the Constitution carries
slavery into the Territories. It was lost by nearly a
tie vote —Ayer, of New Hampshire, voting aye, and
Soule and oue other Southerner voting no.
Owynn, of Maryland, moved a resolution in
dorsing the Administration, and declaring the
President entitled to the gratitude of the country,
it was debated fiercely for hours, and withdrawn—
Gwynn declaring that he would prefer to take
his chances in the Convention. It is not now
probable that any attempt to indorse Pierce will be
made.
Americanism the Ally or Slavery. —The
Southern anti-American press ami unitors, in spite
of the strongest proof to the contrary, persist in
charging that the American party is freesoil in its
proclivities. The Chicago Democrat thinks differ
ently. It says :
We have never been able to comprehend how
any true opponent of slave extension could be a
Know Nothing, and especially since the nomination
of Fillmore and Donelson and the 12th section in
their platform.
As between Fillmore and Donelson, and the
Douglas ticket, even' consistent Democratic Auti-
Nebraska man would have to prefer the latter. It
appeam that Donelson wanted to make a slave State
of California.
That, says the Mobile Advertiser , will do pretty
well. Mr. Fillmore is a better man for the South
than Douglas, and Douglas a better man for the
North. The Democrat takes the view of the old
Democratic Review, that there are elements ut
work in that party, tliat will strike the letters from
the limbs of the slave and inaugurate in one vast
brotherhood all of the different races of the earth.
Here is what the Democrat thinks of true Democra
cy, as understood in the West:
There is nothing like true democracy—the demo
cracy of Jefferson. Madison and Jackson, that op
poses all sumptuary laws, all persecution of men
for their birthplace or their religion, and all extent of
that scourge of the age, human slavery.— Memphis
Eagle and Enquirer.
Wild Cotton or Nicaragua.— The New Or
leans Delta of the 30th ult., states : We were shown
a specimen of cotton yesterday, by Mr. Dunwell,
who is just from Nicaragua, which he found in the
forest, while hunting on the banks of the San Juan
river, in Nicaragua. The stalk on which it grew
was about six feet high, growing straight, and
branching but little. The staple is long and fine,
and the seed have the peculiarity of being quite
uaked, or yielding the down from them without re
taining the white fibrous coating which is seen on
the seed of the ordinary cotton cultivated in the
Southern States. This would seem to give it an ad
vantage over other cotton in ginning, and to save
much cotton which is now lost by adhering to the
seed.
The Old Bat State at Bat. —The American
Council No. 432. of Worcester. Massachusetts, have
resolved that in case of personal outrage and vio
lence being threatened to Mr. Sumner's colleague
ami others representing the Old Bay State in Con
gress, we agree to hold ourselves prepared to depart
at an hour’s notice for the Capitol of our country,
if the demand is necessary, to defend the delegation
from this State iu Congress against personal at
tack from Southern assassins. Tall talking this!
The French Minister.— The Washington cor
respondent of the New York Herald says : It was
Louis Fitzgerald Tasistro, translator to the
State Department, who wrote letters about Count
Sartic.es. the French Minister, and had them pub
lished in the Baltimore Republican. Mr. Tasistro,
on the complaint of Count Sartiges. was dismissed
by Mr. Marcy. Mr.TasisTßO has been some time
connected with the State Department as its princi
pal translator. It will be recollected that he sent
his communications to the French Minister in the
official envelopes of the Department.

Mr. Editor: —l notice that the “Needle o
men’s Society” have removed their place of business
to Ellis street, a short distance above the Presby
terian Lecture Room, where any work our citizens
desire done will be promptly attended to, and in the
very best manner. I have been noticing with in
terest the operations of the benevolent ladies who
projected this Society, for some years past, and not
without apprehension for its ultimate success. I
feared, Mr. Editor, it might share the fate of so many
others whose object itwas to benefit the industrious
poor among us, and time and again have I asked.
how fare* the Needle Women's Society? and have
been relieved when answered, it is getting atonsr.
I have, as you know, but little time to devote to any
; thing save the “Mill horse round of business, but
had I leisure, my humble efforts should be devoted
to the aid of its manager*, and I beg of my fellow
citizen* to give those kind and energetic ladies who
have for years contended against every difficulty a
helping hand. Let those who have work go there
and have it done, where it will be well and cheaply
furnished, and those who have no sewing or but little.
(I am one of these) fork over f 5. $lO or S2O. Come
friends, who will come to the assistance of this truly
good object. I want to see it established perma
nently, so that we can point to one judicious effort
in behalf of home industry that has proved success
ful. The managers beg leave to return their great
ful acknowledgments to the considerate anonymous
friend who had prepared a sign, neatly and taste
fully painted, to indicate the Society’s locality. It
has been put in its place, and it will doubtless be a
source of pleasure to the individual, if the future
shall develope that it point* out the place where
many a seampstress can find profitable employment,
and purchasers and those wanting sewing done a
great convenience. Mr. Editor, I have a proposi
tion to make on rny own hook. I must call on you
to endorse me. My notion is, that all the Needle
Women’s Society now wants to secure its useful
ness is a little more capital. S2OOO additional, I
think, will do. Twenty individual* paying one
hundred dollars each will raise the amount. I will
be one—now for nineteen others. Bachelor.
.Meeting of tbe American Parly.
At a meeting of a portion of the American Party
of Richmond County, at the City Hall, on the 7th of
June, Porter Fleming was called to the Chair,
and Gary F. Parish appointed Secretary.
The object of the meeting, to wit : the appoint
ment of Delegates to represent this county at the
approaching Convention in Macon having been ex
plained, on motion of Gen. Robert Y. Harris, the
Chair appoint a Committee of seven to select six
gentlemen as said Delegation. The Committee of
seven retired, and after a short time returned, and
announced the following gentlemen as Delegates :
A. G. LaTaste, William Gibson, James Miller,
John K. Jackson, Alexander Deas, John D. Butt.
Judge Gibson and Mr. T. C. Cone being called
for, appeared and made very able and eloquent ad
dresses to the assemblage.
On motion, the delegation were authorized to fill
any vacancies which might occur iu their body. On
motion, the proceedings were ordered to be pub
lished.
The meeting then adjourned.

Death of Rev. Alexander McCaine. —The
Montgomery Mail notices the death of this distin
guished divine and most worthy man, and adds:
In the ripeness of age, thus has fallen one of the
great intellects of the country. Mr. McCaine was
the founder of the Methodist Protestant Church,
and his vigorous pen has sustained it from infancy
almost up to the present day. He was a man of
Jfreat physical ana intellectual power, and when we
ast saw him (a few months since,) though bodily in
firmity was stealing upon him, his mind was as ac
tive and powerful as ever.
Mr. McCaine was born in Ireland, but came to
this country when he was little, if at all, over twen
ty years of age. He early became a minister of the
gospel, end was probably among the very first
Methodist preachers who v isited Western Georgia.
He preached (we recollect his telling u*,) at what is
now the town of Athens, Ga., before the town was
thought of. He must have been at the time of his
death somewhere near eighty-five years of age—a
long, long life devoted to pious and useful works.—
He died at the house of his only daughter, and was
attended in his last moments by Rev. S. E. Norton,
of this place, to whom lie had always expected to
confide a literary executorship. We presume he
ha* done so.
Heavy Robbery at Louisville. —The Louis
ville Courier furnishes the following account of
the robbery recently committed at the Galt House
in that city:
Capt. J. C. Wingard, of New Orleans, a few days
since arrived here for the purpose of contracting for
the building of a steamboat, and put up at the Galt
House. Between 4 and so’clock, A. M., on Mon
day, a servant was sent to his room to awaken him
to be ready for the cars, but not receiving any re
spouse, opened the door, which was unlocked, aud
entered. Failing to arouse him the servant became
alarmed, and Dr. Jno. W. Matthews being called in
immediately discovered the true condition of affairs.
The room had been entered through the transom
window and chloroform administered to Captain
Wingard, and, while he was insensible, his trunk
was broken open and examined, and a gold pen and
pencil taken from it, and $1,600 in money, placed
around his waist in a handkerchief, stolen. A vial
which had contained chloroform was found on the
floor, and after Cant W. had been stupefied with
it* fumes, a handkerchief saturated with it was
thrown over his face. From the quantity inhaled
Capt. Wingard was for some time in a critical con
dition, and had he remained undiscovered nmoli
longer, resuscitation would have bee n impossible.—
As it was, Dr. Matthews was compelled to re
sort to the most vigorous measures to save his pa
tient's life.
The money stolen consisted of nine SSOO notes,
and one SIOO note—ill a1154600 — all on New Orleans
banks! A reward of SI,OOO Ims been offered for
the recovery of the money.
John C. Breckenridge. —The Democratic nomi
nee for the Presidency is thus personally described
by the Cincinnati Commercial :
He is a tall and gracefully formed young man,
with delicate features, and would be singularly
handsome if his profile line was more prominent.
Looking at him sideways, and his forehead, nose
and chin, are nearly in a staight line. But his eye
beams with intelligence, his nose is handsome in
outline, and the habitual compression of his lips in
dicates a resolute will. On the whole there is a
poetic glimmer about him. And that there is some
thing of this in his character, the fact that he |ms
purchased an island in Lake Superior for a summer
home would indicate. His manner in speaking is
proud, defiant, and full of passion, tempered by
educated discretion.
Convicted. —Upon another trial before the Bibb

life.— Macon Messenger.
Fatal Casualty. —Thomas, son of Mr. Lott
Malsby, of this city, a lad aged about lft years, met

dragged nearly a quarter of a mile, and so dread
fully bruised that, without speaking, he expired on
the* following morning. We deeply sympathise
with his afflicted parents and friends. — Macon Mes

Singular. —The Madrid Gazette, of April 29th,
contains the following singular paragraph : In con
sequence of what some foreign journals have recent
ly published on the affairs of Spain, it appears that
a high personage has had a conference with the
Queen, and that Her Majesty declared that she
would sooner lose her crown, and the hope of seeing
her daughter reign, than suffer any foreign nation to
intervene in our affairs.
University of Virginia. —The meeting of the
Board of Visiters to the University, which took
place on Monday last, resulted iu several additions
to the professorial department and a division of the
chair of ancient languages. A chair of history and
general literature, together with that of anatomy,
meteria mediea, and botany, was created. Latin
and Greek were assigned to two professors, the for
mer of which Dr. Harrison retains. These changes
were found to be necessary, and they indicate the
increasing prosperity of this noble university. There
are five hundred and fifty-eight students now in at

••that the character of the preliminary meeting of
Friday evening, and of those who occupied the plat

Tbe contest between the Hard and Soft Demo
cratic factions in New York, has engaged a laige
I share of the public attention for some years past,
| and it is a matter of interest to know how the dis
j pute was disposed of in the National Convention of
the party, we give below the proceedings of the
Committee entire :
! Cincinnati, June 3. Mdnigh '.-The Committee
i on Credentials occupied tbe entire atternoon ami
{ evening in hearing the statements of the contesting
! delegates from New York. Hon. D L. Sevmonr
I opened the discussion on the part of the Hard* 5 , and
I reviewed the history of the parte for the last t" '-nty
years to prove the legitimacy oi the ••Hard ' orgaui-.
zation. attacking the ‘‘Soft.*/’ particularly some ot
tiiose on the delegation, for their former delinquen
cies, and claimed that the "J Lards were the only
National Democrats: and that the National Con
vention could none other.
Ex- Governor Seymour replied, comparing t ie
vote of General Cass with the vote of the “Hard
Shells’’ last fall, and presented for the consideration
of the committee a tabular statement showing that
in seventeen Congressional districts the Hard.- only
got one-fifth of the Cass vote —ten thousand out ot
fifty thousand: and iu she other districts where C ass
got ten thousand votes the "Hards last fall got
only 1800. He drew a comparison between that
and the “Soft” vote, arguing that the “Softs” re
present the great mass of the Democrats of the State,
and the “Hards** only an insignificant faction. lie
regretted that the resolutions known as the Cas
sady and Van Buren resolutions, passed the last
fall convention, but pointed to the resolutions pass
ed in January last as the platform of the “Soft par
ty. .
' Judge Beardsley replied, urging that tue resolu
tions of January last, as the platform of the “Soft
party, had been framed for the Cincinnati Conven
tion. The party was to be judged by the platform
upon which it went to the people in the fall election.
The January platform had already driven off a largo
number of the leading “Softs/ - such as \ an Dyke,
Dudley. Field and Benj. Welch, Jr., and would
drive off many more.
Mr. Nicholas Hill declared that Welch was a
“Black Republican” last fall, and did not vote the
Democratic tu ket.
Sudge Beardsley continued. Although true that
• Softs” had got a greater number ol votes than
the “Hards,” they had got them on tho freesoil plat
form, and the more they got the deeper the disgrace
He read from a document to show the identity be
tween the principles and men of the “Soft” party
and the Barnburners. When he read the name of
Mr. Campbell, who was iu the room, lie cried out,
“That's a lie ?” The name of Israel T. Hatch being
read, Lorenzo B. Sheppard denied that he had ever
beeu a “Buffalo platform man.”
Henry W. Rogers said that the discussion was
getting personal, when the chuii man stopped it.
Mr. Lorenzo B Sheppard closed on the part of
the “Softs and charged Mr. D. L. Seymour with
voting against the annexation of Texas. IJe also
alluded to a well known secret circular charging
Mr. Seymour with knowing of its existence and fail
ing to expose it. He himself had made it publ c,
and the only man on that circular now in active po
litical life was Mr. Townsend, who was elected as
the “Hard” candidate for Governor of the Alms
house. He showed tliut more “Softs” voted for the
Nebraska bill than “Ilards,” the number standing
seven to three, and of those three, Gen. YValbridge
was one who now claims to be a “Soft.” The Con
vention should not insult the great Democratic par
ty of New York, by declaring in favor of a signifi
cant faction, and shutting then) Gl}f from the Na
tional Convention.
When the argument was concluded, several mem
bers of the committee desired to make the delega
tions pledge themselves to abide by the decision of
the committee and the Convention, but the point
was not pressed.
When the room was cleared, Senator Bayard,
of Delaware, the chairman, proposed a report,
stating that, whe*eui», iu t)ie State of New York
the democratic party has divided Into t\yo sections,
acting sometimes in concert and sometimes support
ing separate tickets ; and, whereas, the committee
on credentials are unable to discover any difference
iu their principles, or to decide which is the regular
organization, therefore
Resolved, That the Convention be recommended
to reject both, unless, waiving minor differences,
they get together for toe sake of muon and bar*
mony, and select from each delegation thirty-fiye
members to represent them on the floor of the Con
vention.
Resolved, Tliat the committee expect an answer
from the delegations forthwith.
Mr. Tilford, of Indiana, proposed a resolution that
the “Hard” delegation are entitled to seats on the
floor.
Mr. John A. George, of New Hampshire, for the
sake of harmony was willing to admit a portion
of both delegations—the representation to be found
ed on the vote for the respective sections as cast last
fall.
Mr. Wright, of Pennsylvania, favored the proposi
tion of the chairman.
Another member made n proposition to take the
Concessional vote of the two sections as a basis.—
Mr. Stevenson, of Kentucky, thought it was neces
sary to settle this difference now. Although lie
sympathised with the “Hards,” he regarded the
“Softs” as the regular delegation. He was at Balti
more eight years ago. when the same question was
aised. The “Hards” then claimed an organization
on less grounds than the “Softs” claim now. Be
sides, the “Hards” had shamelessly abused Frank
lin Pierce, und made their address the basis of
abuse of the most sacredly Constitutional Admin
istration ever known. lie was willing, however, to
agree to allow the representation in the Convention
to been the basis of the vote of last fail.
Mr. Wiggins, of Maine, denounced the Aboli
tjonism of the “Softs.” Their praise of the present 1
administration was no proof they were not Abo
litionists, for Mr. Pierce had been as favorable to
the Abolitionists in soipe of his acts as to the South <
in others. 1
Mr. George, of New Hampshire, would not stand ,
by and hear the glorious, God like Administration <
or President Pierce abused in that Committee.
Mr. Wiggins would not be brow-beaten. He
would stand in the convention ready to denounce
Mr. Pierce and prove that in his appointments he ]
had endeavored to nourish Abolitionism. It was not <
fair to admit the delegates on the basis of a vote «
gained on a Freesoil platform, lie went for the ad
mission of the Hards.
Mr. Whitney, of Massachusetts, said that no mode
was equitable but an admission on the basis of the
popular vote.
Mr. Tilford, of Indiana, was willing to take the
responsibility of letting in the “Hards,” for lie
looked on the “ Softs” as rotten abolitionista at
heart. He had heard John Van Buren declare in
the streets of this city, that the administration of
Polk was as corrupt, ox h —//. lie was willing then
to vote for the admission of the “Hards,” but would
make a concession and admit half of each delegation.
Further concession he never would make, so help
him God.
After further somewhut angry discussion, the
Committee adjourned till 9 o’clock to-morrow mor
ning without faking a vote.
English I‘itsn oii Central Amcricn.
The London Morning Pont (official) of May 23,
coueludes an editorial on the Central American
question in this manner :
The attitude, or rather the variety of attitudes,
assumed by the United States towards Central Ame
rica at the present time has exposed them, as Mr.
Marcy has truly stated, to suspicions of the most
unpleasant kind. We have offered to refer to arbi
tration the disputed interpretation of the Clay ton -
Bulwer treaty, and a most unreasonable delay has
taken place in replying to this simple proposition.
We wish to see Walker and his companions expell
ed from Nicaragua, and Mr. Marcy informs us that
this is a consummation no less earnestly desired by
him. In contradiction of this view of the case, we [
have ominous rumors of the intention of the cabinet (
at Washington to recognise that adventurer as soon ,
as it may appear expedient to do so. Then we learn
that while on the one hand recruits are leaving the 1
ports of the United States by hundreds for the scene
of action, American vessels of war were, by the !
latest accounts, employed, along with those of j
France and England, in blockading Greytown.— .
Conduct so undignified and so inconsistent may be
the result of very profound policy, but it is certainly
uot calculated to inspire confidence in the American
government. It is now time, however, that its sin- (
verity with reference to Walker should be tested.
It is time that the anarchy aud bloodshed, for which
he and his followers are responsible, should be put
an end to. If Mr. Marcy desires to put a stop to
this disgraceful state of things, let him co-operate ,
with the British government for this purpose. We
have alr< ady suggested this course as the most satis
factory that could bo adopted, and we are glad to
perceive that this view has also beeu expressed by
Lord Clarendon. Nor is it at all probable that any
armed intervention would be necessary. The ex
pressed determination of the two governments to
put down all buccaneering attempts upou the in
dependence of the Central American States would
at once convince Walker of the hopelessness of his
enterprise.
But will President Pierce commit himself to this
wise, straightforward course ? The. antecedents of
his administration lead us to entertain "rave doubts
upon the subject. He must offend the Southern
Democrats on the eve of an election; he must, there
fore await the progress of events. Meanwhile Wal
ker appears to be entrenching himself at Granada,
on the Lake of Nicaragua; while his enemies are
closing in upon him from the North as well as from
the South. The timely intervention of the two go
vernments, therefore, would save much unneces
sary bloodshed; but for the reasons we have stated,
we’do not anticipate so peaceful a solution of the
present struggle.
The London Times, of May *23, says :
The contest of Costa Kiea with Nicaragua and
General Walker’s filibusters is of itself a forcible
comment on thepresent state of the Central Ameri
can question. Thrown back upon their own weak
ness and confusion by the mutual jealousy of the
two great Powers, the small States of Central Ameri
ca have ceased to afford due protection to life aud
property, and the subjects of the two great Powers
themselves suffer in the general disorder. Thus,
stern and solid facts are compelling that very alli
ance of the two Powers which diplomacy is delay
ing and impeding : and, while men are arguing and
disputing the dejure question, the dc facto Powers
of the two great* Northern American governments
seem likely to be summoned to the scene of distur
bance ns a case of simple necessity, Lord Clarendon
concluding his speech the other evening with the re
mark. that “ under the circumstances, there could
be no better plan than for the government of the
United States and the British government to com
bine together for the protection ot the property of
the citizens of both countries.”
Never did facts administer a sharper rebuke to
diplomacy than they do in thepresent instance. For
six years'has the Government of the United States
been arguing the question of British right to. the
least fragment of iuduence on Central American
ground, and the mere vicinity of a British settle
ment to the Central American coast has been pro
tested against with a scrupulous jealousy. Well,
we have humored our neighbors* suspicions. \\ e
have scrupulously abstained from all acts which im
ply British authority in Central America, and when
one of our naval officers enforced on a refractory j
American vessel the harbor dues authorized by the
Mosquito Government, and paid by all other ves
sels, we did not support him. We said we had
nothing to do with government in Central America. |
aud that the Mosquito Government must collect its j
own dues. So Central America has been left to it- I
self and has now been quite independent, as regards
the two great governments, for some years. And j
now what is the result with respect to the prospect i
of any real independence to those States ! \S idle
governments have been hanging back, individual ,
enterprise has been forward and audacious. A citi- (
zen of the United Staves has possessed himself of the :
government of one of these States. Gen. Walker
overaw ?s by an army of filibusters the native autho- j
rities of Nicaragua, and invades Costa Rica with j
the Nicaraguan flag. Thus, two Central American j
States are at present threatened with an Ameri
can domination, not owned indeed or recognized by j
the United States Government, but still, in fact.
American.
The Times concludes its remarks by stating that j
arbitration should be accepted by the United States j
Government, and that Russia should be the umpire, i

amounted to £3,500,000, to cover which the loans v
of £5,000,000 in Consols had been raised. The t]
Chancellor promised a saving of £ 17,559.000 by c
the revision of the Army and Navy estimates for j
the current year. One million and a half of the ,
loan was applicable to the year ISSO-57. The sum \
of £3,000,000 in Exchequer bills had been sue- t
cessl'illly converted into Consols. Notwithstanding t
the reduced estimates for the services of the Army {
and Navy, the expenditure for the present financial
year was estimated at the net amount of £77,525,- (
000, whilst the net income from revenue was esti- t
mated at no more than £07,152,000, leaving a de- i
ficiency of £10,373,000. To meet this deficiency
there was a balance remaining of the last five mil- (
lion loan of £1,500,000, a proposed vote of credit j
for £2,000,000, then the new loan of £5,000,000, (

French Protectorate over Lower Canada, j
—We find in the Gazette de France of the 17th of \
May a curious letter on this subject, dated from the
Three Rivers, Canada Eiist ;
According to the writer, a strong party exists in c
the country in favor of a French protectorate and a c
French vice royalty. He predicts that in less than f
six months these ideas will be generally adopted by j
the people of Lower Canada. A paper, the Bus g
Canada, has beeu, says he, started to advocate a t
French protectorate, and although it lias issued but c
two numbers, its influence is already felt. In case j
of war between the United States and England, it \
is to France that Lower Canada will look for pro- |
tection, and it is the opinion of the Canadian cor- j
respondent of the Gazette de France that war would t
be a desirable contingency in case France should in- *
terfere between the United States and England, to t
keep the former within their own limits, and to force
the latter to give independence to the Canadians
underffhe more natural protectorate of France. It
we are unhappy, observe the writer, under the paw
of the British lion, it is not likely that we shall feel
more comfortable under the claw of the American -
eagle. *
Expected Riots in London. —Quite an excite- x
ment has been created in London in consequence ot %
the withdrawal of military bands on Sundays from *
the Public Grounds. A disturbance was appro- r
hended on Sunday, the 16th of May, but the day i
passed off quietly, attributable not to the peaceable t
disposition of the populace, but to the great storms 1
that prevailed. In spite of tbe inclemency of the t
weather, however, a considerable crowd assembled i
in the usual promenade in Kensington Gardens. At <
one time there were about 1,000 persons present — -
“ roughs” as they are called, who wandered about i
in a band for upwards of two hours in search of t
amusement, which they occasionally found in some t
gentleman with any slight eccentricity of manner or <
costume, and in one of the park-keepers, an un- <
usually tall man, whom they assailed with all maii
ner of gibes. Occasionally they pulled branches off <
the trees, with which they armed themselves, or j 1
mounted the platform erected for the band, and per- <
formed a series of rude antics, to the amusement of t
the bystanders, varied now and then by a fight I
among themselves. . 1
Most of the London journals back the people in <
their desire for some rational amusement on the t
Sunday. . , . ]

Denmark.— The ex-president of the United States.
Mr. Fillmore, having recently paid a visit to Co
] penhagvu, some of the Danish periodicals of the
j day appear to entertain the flattering hope that it
may have a favorable influence with respect to the
i Sound difference's now existing. The sojourn of the
1 ex-president, however, lias been almost too short to
afford the authorities there many opportunities of
eliciting opinions from this statesman relative to a
matter of such importance, even had it been found
desirable uud proper for him to entertain it, which is
very questionable after all.

A Demand on the Convention.
The following letter was sent to the Democratic
Convention at Cincinnati. The writer is Editor
of the "P ish Celt*” a Catholic paper of New Yoifc
pity ;
To the Members cf the Democratic National Con
vention :
101 Nassau Street, New York, >
May 30th, 1856. $
Gentlemen—A word spoken in time is said to be
worth more than gold, and I beg to offer you such a
word, by favor of the Cincinnati press. You will
have at your door, I still hope not on yoqr benches,
a delegate from California, (Mr. Herbert) on whose
hands yet smokes the blood of a poor countryman of
mine by birth, lately murdered in a public hotel at
Washington. I address you a simple, straightfor
ward question—do you mean to admit this man to a
seat in your Convention ? I hope, 1 sincerely hope,
you do not. He is now under heavy bonds to stand
his trial for the murder of Thomas Keating, and if
lie has not decency enough to stay away, you,
knowing all the insulting and unjustifiable circum
stances of the case, ought to have feeling enough to
keep him out.
lam known to several or your number, and
though never personally engaged in any Presiden
tial canvass, ot the three I have witnessed in the
United States, there are those with you who can
certify that all iny preferences have hitherto been
democratic aud my actions accordingly. In 1852 1
was among the first, the most earnest, and I believe
not the least efficient in resisting the artful attempt
to make Mr. Pierce answerable for the Catholic
test in the New Hampshire Constitution. The
•campaign” publications of that day issued from
the offices of the Boston Post, Albany Argus, and
Washington Union, have recorded how ready for
the maintenance of a great principle, in common
with the class of eitizens to which I belong, I was
)lien found to obliterate the memory of individual
wrongs.
Precisely in the same gpirit, 1 now aslf for Mr.
Herbert's exclusion. Since 1853, a fierce social
war has been made on the adopted citizens. So
long as it was confined to sectarian presses and mid* |
night mobs, we endeavored to resist with a firm <
forbearance. But whon a Denaooratio member of .
Congress, and delegate to your Convention, shoots, >
before breakfast, a working man, because he resen- i
ted being called a “damned Irish son of a b h,” <
it is full time for us to ask you, do you mean to «
separate your ranks, or to overlook notorious facts, j
i»r to vindicate the equality of all classes of citizens j
high and low, native and foreign-born, in practice ]
as in theory l Looking anxiously for your decision
to your proceedings,
1 remain, gentlemen, very respectfully, [
Your obedient servant,
Thom as I)*Arcy McGee.
It will be seen that the Irish wing of the Demo- x
cratic party demands not only the expulsion of Her- .
belt from the House of Representatives, but from \
the Democratic Convention.
Tlic Troubles in Kansas—Letter from Gov.
Shannon. i
The citizens of Topeka, Kansas, having applied for J.
protection to Gov. Shannon, lie has addressed them t
the following letter : f
Executive Office, Lecompton, K. T., > '
May 23d, 1856. \ I
Gentlemen—Your memorial, which is not dated,
has just been received, Jn reply, I would beg leave l
to say that I have no doubt that the outrages of j
which you speak have been greatly exaggerated t
and highly colored. It may be that there are men (
on both sides who are desirous to complicate the (
present difficulties in this Territory, and who feel no }«
particular interest in avoiding the evils of civil war. c
tinder these circumstances, it becomes the law-abi- j,
ding citizens to act with caution, and not to lend a l
too willing ear to all the reports that are floating t
through the country?
The United States Marshal, as well as the Sheriff
of this county, as you are doubtless aware, have
each been resisted in the execution of writs in their
hands, by citizens of Lawrence. The life of one
was attempted, and that of another threatened, un- '
der circumstances tojustify the most serious appre
hensions as to personal safety, if he should again at- 1
tempt the service of writs m that place. Under (
these circumstances each of these officers, by virtue 1
of the power which the law invests in them, assein- 1
bled a posse large enough to secure the service of J
process.
They have got through' serving the writs in their ]
hands as far is practicable at present, and each >
has dismissed his posse. Nearly all who belong to l
these posses have retired, and I think there is not i
the slightest danger of your being assailed, or mo
lested, unless private assassinations and personal j
outrages should rouse a public feeling which would }
again bring into the field u body of men determined j
to revenge real or supposed wrongs. It is useless to
disguise the fact that there is at this moment immi
nent danger of this, a result which l know you and c
all good citizens would deeply deplore. Mr. Cox V
and wife were tired upon last evening, when riding 1
out of Lawrence, the ball passing between them.
It is outrages of this kind that are calculated to <
bring oil a civil war, which could not be controlled r
by the public authorities, and which would end only
by the entire destruction of one or the other of the |
parties. Let me appeal to one and all to unite in \
arresting these threatened evils. Let no one at
tempt to redress his own wrong, but appeal to the
law in all eases. It is the only safety for all parties, {
and I can see no reason why ample security for ]
both person and property cannot be as well secured 1
in the Territory as any of the States, if the citizens
would, in good faith unite in aiding the officers of .
the law in arresting arid bringing to justice all persons j
who violate the law. (
It is to he regretted that there is a party in the t
territory who refuse to recognize the validity of the ,
territorial laws, and consequently take’no partin \
bringing offenders to justice, or in furnishing to
the law officers the names of witnesses, whose tes
timony would be necessary in order to ferret out J
crime. I would most respectfully solicit the aid
and assistance of the citizens of Topeka in cstab- !
fishing a sound and healthy administration of the
law, as the best means to secure the peace and ?
good order of society, With the view of securing 1
all their rights and preserving peace and good or
der and the just execution of the laws, 1 have made I
a requisition on Col. Sumner for three companies of 1
the United States troops, one to be stationed at *"
Lawrence, one at this place, and one at Topeka.— r
Should it be thought advisable to have troops sta- 1
tioned at oilier points, I will make an additional re
quisition on Col. Sumner. He will be in Lawrence ]
this evening with his command, and will lose no time i
in ordering the troops to Topeka. I assure you t hat J
I will exact all the powers vested in me to preserve
law and order, and to secure the rights of persons
and property throughout the territory; but I wish (
the citizens to reflect that much depends on their ]
own action, especially at this moment. |
Yours, with great respect, (
Wilson Shannon.
Another Extensive Forgery.—A Second ‘
Shrcicd Operation by the Prince of Forgers. —Un- '
fortunately it lias only just been discovered that the
Albany Bank has beeij victimized to the amount of 1
$4,000, by the same operator who so nicely drew
$3,000 from the coffers of the Bank of the Capitol, 1
about four weeks ago, and of whose identity or i
whereabouts everybody seems to be as much inya- -
tilled as do the Live Oak men with regard to “Issac
Newton, the Philadelphia Quaker.” The forgery •
must have been perpetrated about the same time—
possibly the same day—as that upon the Bank of the
Capitol. The manner of the operation, as told i
among our business men, was thus:—Confidential J
man, with the utmost coolness, presents himself at t
the Teller’s desk of the Bank of Albany, and
thusts out a check for SI,OOO, purporting to be •
drawn by Monteath & Badgley, merchants on the
dock.
The Teller, as is often done, when our Banks are j
drawn upon for such an amount, declined cashing it; «
but not doubting its genuineness, asked the confi- ‘
dential gentleman at what Bank he usually did bu
siness, and receiving for reply, “the Bank of the 6
Capitol”—(this was true —lie had just drawn $3,000 ‘
from that institution on a forged check) told him to ,
deposit the check therein. Confidential man replied <
that lie had no objection to such a disposition of it,
provided they would certify it, aud handing it back
to the book-keeper, that officer immediately wrote
the word “good.” together with his initials upon it.
Confidential gentleman, perfectly satisfied, walks to
the Bank of the Capitol, where he deposited the now
valuable paper, and where he realized the amount
he played for. It was a deperate game, but the
player is evidently the shrewdest one that ever
operated in Albany.— Albany Argus, \th inst.
Month of May.— The mean monthly Tempera
ture for May, at Sparta, Ga., is 69.7, about an aver
age. The amount of rain in inches 4.21, which
makes up for the deficiency in April, and leaves
the crops in a fine growing state.
Eastern winds prevailed during the month but
did not bring much disease, according to the old
English adage—
" The wind blowing from the East
Is goo d for neither man or beast.”
As we opined late crops of wheat are suffering
from the rnst. Some heavy crops, however, have
been gathered during the past and present week.—
We are more than ever convinced, that wheat can
not be pooled with poor laud, though some have
failed who sowed on good land. Another thing is
equally true late varieties will not answer in this
climate. — Georgia n.
Robbery in Montgomery.— By the Advertiser
of the 31 »t we learn that a company of light-fingered
gents have paid that city a visit—robbing the store
of Air. Campbell of $3,000 worth of jewelry, and
subsequently breaking into the mills of Jno. G.
Winter Ac Co., and leaving them minus SIOO in spe
cie. No clue has yet been started by the police
i there, hence it is more than probable they have emi
| grated to the nearest ‘-settlement’’—Columbus, for
I instance. We dislike to see strangers molested at
j any time —but when a gang of three or four beings
I come upon us from nowhere, have no ostensible
1 means of livelihood, too poor to live without money,
I and too lazy to get it by labor—that gang will bear
| watching, and their presence is sufficient induce
| for all merchants to watch their premises.—
j Columbus Enquirer.
i Thunder and Hail. — On Sunday evening last
! we were visited by a thunder storm with some hail
! and much wind— uprooting a few trees in the city,
and doing other slight damage. The wind and hail,
1 however, did not extend much above the city, the
! rain being general as far as we can hear—helping
! the crops greatly. The .-tand of cotton in most
| places about this'neighborhood is very poor, and
; the corn at least three weeks behind its usual for-
S wardness at this season of the year. Planters may,
! therefore, look for a low growth of the stalk, but
: w stk ordinary seasons during the present month, a
! good yield of “corn in the ear” may be counted on.
| Several years back a similar appearance presented
, jtaelf at the early stage of this crop, and though the
i fodder was light' an abundant harvest of com was
! gathered.— Columbus Enquirer.

ways by which people can go astray in belief—first, in
believing too little, and secondly in believing too much.
The obstinate unbelievers need not flatter themselves
that there is any degree of wisdom shown in doubting
everything, for as far as onr observation extends, the

OBITUARY.
Died on Tuesday. May 27th, MARY CATHERINE,
wife of Dr. George" W. West, aged 23 years.
Four months ago, Airs. WEST came among us a stran
ger and an invalid. The ordinary feelings of interest and
sympathy, excited by these circumstances, in those who
saw her, "were soon deepened into friendship and love, by
the exhibition of the most lovely traits of character.
Gentleness, patience and great cheerfulness, character
ized her endurance of a very long and painful illness.
With meek aud Christian resignation, did she perceive
the joys of earth fading away, ere they had lost, for her,
their brightness; and with the calm serenity and holy
faith that only a Christian knows, did she watch the grad
ual sundering of the cords that bound her to earth as
Mother, Daughter. Wife, Sister and Friend. After days
of suffering, with mind undimmed, she fell into a calm
repose, and gently as the zephyr bears away the fra
grance of the dying rose, was her redeemed and sancti
fied spirit borne from its blighted tabernacle to the bosom
of her God. B'***.

GEORGIG SARSAPARILLA,
A preparation made of Sarsaparilla Roots only,
J>ItEPAKHD by J. DENNIS, M. D„ Augusta, Ga.,
for Diseases of the Liver and to purify the Blood.
With the most of persons, it acts upon the Bowels as a
mild purgative or laxative. With some it causes at first
a very active purgative effect, yet, owing to the
strengthening or restoring properties of this Sarsaparilla,
no debility arises from the active purging. In cases in
which there is considerable derangement of the Liver, it
will sometimes cause nausea, or even vomiting, butafter
the Liver has been restored to its healthy condition this
effect ceases.
For children this is the most natural and healthy pur
gative that can be given, and generally is all the purga
tive that is necessary to be given, especially to those
troubled with worms. It causes an increased secretion
and passage of the bile, which acts as an irritant to the
worms and prevents their accumulation.
Its healthy action on the Liver and purifying effect
upon the Blood, make it a great safeguard against dis
ease, and prove it to be the best Sarsaparilla m use for
physicians and those afflicted with diseases in which bar
'aparilla is indicated as the the proper remedy. It is
also useful for those recovering from sickness and re
quiring a purgative to act mildly without causing debility
or prostration.
To increase its purity, the use of sugar has been dis
continued—those who prefer it sweetened, can sweeten
it them* dves to suit their taste.

MISCELLANEOI
TO INVALIDS^
I IVM* si; CH DlfsEAM*; A.S “GENERAL DIbKAtSE”
11 1 llow often have been repeated to interrogations
such answers as “ Why ! ir, (or madam,) you are labor
-3 I ing under general debility”—or, “general disease seems
1- to pervade your entire system”—or, “there is a general
, complication of disorders afiiictlng you”—or “disease
is so general throughout your system, a thorough course
1 ‘ of medicinal t reatment must be adopted for its removal."
Are..&c. Such answers as these to the poor trembling
0 patieut, at once convey the idea that every, or nearly
every part of the body has become the seat of extensive
11 organic disease, aud for the rom.val of which a diversified
f- aud long course of treatment must be entered upon tor
their removal, and the poor pathpit sink- almost wbh de
spondency at the very idea that he is so much “out of
fix,” and that so much and such a variety f drugs must
be taken ere health will be restored.
To all stub invalids 1 would say, be not dismayed or
discouraged, for rest assured there is n.» .i , 1 ngas
“ general disease” —there is no such state oi system as
“ general debility,” in the common acceptation ot the
term, for however much the entire system may seem to
be dis.ved, yet upon, close examination, scrutiny and at
tention to causes of this apparent general disorder it will
be found that ail these morbid symptoms have for their
source and origin some one or more diseased points, from
which, through that cluaf characteristic of the living
body—sympathy—all t.flvr morbid symptoms arise.
It is very true, that one, or more, or even all the organs
of the body, may seem to be diseased, but rest assured
that all this diseased action originates, invariably, from
one or more diseased points—to illustrate : are you
troubled with a cough, pain in the side, rapid breathing,
easily “out of breath” upon the slightest exertion t Are
you troubled with sleeplessness, starting in sleep—your
thoughts being rendered more vivid and painful by the
vigils; impaired volition, headache, tlushedface, pain In
the temples and face, humming iu the cars, twitching of
the eyelids, occasional slight obscuration of vision t Do
you experience a “ fluttering” of the heart, or palpitation
by quickened exertion, pain in the chest, or darting pains
over the region of the heart, Hying pains, stitches and
cramps in the ribs, between the shoulder blades, about
the hips and iu tho tiugors, which give you notions of
rheumatism t Have you a dry tougue, or tongue cleau.
red, swollen aud deeply split iu all directions, gums re
ceding from the teeth, breath hot but not foetid, thirst,
loss of appetite, or morbid craving for food, constipation
ot tho bowels, or irregular as to time and quantity,
nausea and vomiting * Is your mind irritable, with fits
of depression of several hours' duration, an impossibility
to apply the mind, imagining that this person ortliat per
son has done you some wrong, or has a wish to do so i
Are tho foot almost constantly cold, and the skin dry,
harsh, sometimes with an unuatural heat and sometimes
highly sensitive to cold ? Is there a diminution of secre
titaXfrom the kidneys, or the secretion sometimes of one
color and sometimes of another, pain over the region of
tho kidneys and small of the back, darting pains running
dowu tho thighs, cramps in the calves of the legs and
feet i Have you pain in the right side, right shoulder, or
Tic Doloreux of the face, with a bilious, sallow com
plexion, yellowness of the eyeballs i If so, (and there
are thousands of patients who can subscribe to every one
or a greater portion of the above symptoms,) all this mul
tiform diseased action, may, and iu nine hundred anil
ninety-uino cases in a thousand do depend on a small
point of inflammation in the digestive organs, and, per
haps no larger than a five cent piece. From this small
point of inllammation, small as it is, all the morbitio
symptoms above mentioned, arise, and the removing of
this cause, this small point of inflammation, tho curing of
this one small point of diseased action in the digestive or- •
gaus, the wholo array of multiplied symptoms that you
have looked upon as a “ general disease,” and which you
have oftentimes, no doubt, imagined would sooner or
later closo your earthly career, will at once disappear.
Should this meet the eye of any invalid whose feelings
and symptoms arc described above, who have any eonti
deuce in tho doctrine as regards causes as set forth, tho
attention of all such are respectfully solicited to “BLISS’
DYSPEPTIC REMEDY" —a remedy, when uscdelosely
according to directions, will not fall in restoring diseasi-d
action of the Stomach, as described above, and of remov
ing every vestige of disease, and every symptom de
scribed above. No long course of treatment with this
Remedy is required to ascertain its true merits, for it will
begin to relieve the majority of cases in a very few days.
Thcro may be oases that will not experience Huh com
mencement of relief for perhaps a week or ten days, amt
there may be others where no appreciable alteration for
the better can be discovered under two or throe weeks, but
if taken in good faith and persevered iu, it will not
fail to relieve any case, I care not how stubborn it
may have been. Many physicians will probably read
this paragraph with a smile of incredulity, (and 1 cannot
blame them, iu view of the thousand and one nostrums
now before tho people, ;«41 of which are put forth ns
“sovereign remedies") —but that this Remedy will cure
any case of Dyspepsia, lam positive; and it there is any
physician who does not choose to give it u fair test in Iks
practice, his patient only will be the loser. 1 would be
glad to have all physicians test it. and would they do so
in good faith they would find that I do not overrate the
virtue of the preparation. lam positivo iu my belief, for
1 have used this same preparation for years in my prac
tice, and am prescribing it daily in my office pract ice, and
know its virtues, and most unhesitatingly say that there
is no case of Dyspepsia but that I can cure, and use no
thing but this preparation. W. W. BLISS A CO..
