mHE MERITS OF THIS
X Plow over others, for
the cultivation of both Cot-
ton and Corn are many, but*! shall mention
only ite leading merits: With four wings,
two small and two large, it can be converted
into Seven different Plows, all of which are-
vory necessary for tho cultivation of dif
ferent crops. And another vory important
feature is durability. A Plow completed
will last a man from two to five years, accord
ing to tho soil he cultivates, and will only
cost about Three Dollars to put it up. An
Agency will soon be established in Romo,
and then planters will be invited to call and
see for themselves. Address,

tho public generally, that lie continue:
the practico of DENT1STRFin ail its brunch
es, nnd hus fitted up au office, over the store
of MoGuiro 4 Pinson, where ho is prepared
to oxecute alt operations appertaining to Di
tistry, in the most approved manner.
Ho would also call the particular attention
of those in want of Artificial Work, to his su-
lorior stylo of teeth, sot on gold plate ; for
>eauty, strength and life-liko appeaeance,
they are not surpassed. As an impression has
been mado that my prices for dental ope
tious nro higher than the usual run of D
lists, I beg leave to say that they are tho same
as charged by Dentists at Augusta, Macon
and Savannah. For Artificial Work myohar-
ges are as follows: .
Entire 8ets Upper and Lower from$100 to $256
Half Sots, Upper or Lower, from 60 to 150
Temporary Bets, Uppor and Lower, 25 each
Partial Sets In proportion to the above.
As I am well posted inall tho late improve
ments of the day, I feel confident that I can
meet tho wants of all who may need tho ser
vices of a Dontist, and if references are want
ed; as to their utility in answering the purpo
ses of nature, I can give them in abundance,
from those who have tested my skill, for the
last fourteen years, in this, ana adjoining

Bell and Everett.
Wejiccept, with pleasure, the nomin
ation Sf these distinguished gentlemen
for the Presidency and Vice-Presiden
cy, by the national Union Convention.
Had we been able to make a selection
best suited to our awn views, we might
have chosen others; but we are satis
fied that the are the best nominations
that will be made by any party, and we
very cheerfully give them our humble
but hearty support.
have no time, at present, to
make more than a passing remark or
two about Mr. Bell’s positions or the
slavery question. Though he voted in
1854, against the Kausos-Nebroska bill
repealing the Missouri Compromise, he
believed tho Missouri restriction of
slavery'to be unconstitutional and un
just towards the South. He only re
spected it because long acquiescence
had, in his opinion, imparted to it the
sacredness of a compact between the sections.
In all original legislation (as in that of
1850,) he is and was opposed to all Con
gressional interference with slavery as
unconstitutional and inimical to the
gouth, and'at the same time opposed
to squatter sovereignty. In other words,
he stands by the Territorial bills of 1850,
as conforming to the spirit of the Con
stitution and the rights of the sections.
He feared that the repeal of the
Missouri restrictions as to Kansas and
Nebraska, after such long toleration as
a compromise between the North and
the South, would stir up and embitter
seotionalstrifes, and therfore he opposed
it—at the same time acknowledging
the right of the South to demand of the
Federal Government “hands off” in all
the Territories.
The result shows that he was right in
his apprehension of the mischief that
would follow the passage of the Kans<is
bill, with all the encouragement which
, it afforded to sectional partisans to
| commence in the Territories a strife
that would convulse tho whole Union.

realized already on tho earth. I appre
hend that the distance between the
mind of Newton and of a Hottentot

view still more striking. This Newton,
who lifted his calm sublime eye to the
heavens, and read among the planets

Canadian Yankriism.—Over the line
in Canada, they are quite as inquisitive
as their Yankee neighbors—probably
the South wind carries the infection
over. Some years since the Receiver
General was travelling on a steamboat
with funds for the Government, and
for the sake of privaoy and safety he
engaged the whole of the ladies' cabin.
The passengers were all alive to ascer
tain the reason of this arrangement,
and especially to know what business
the great man could have on hand to
require so much room and money. At
length one of them, more bold than
the rest, ventured to introduce the
subject as the Receiver was walking
the deck, and approaohed him ask
ed him if he was on a government
contraot ?
“Yes," was the gruff reply.
“A very large one?" .
“Yes, very large,"
“May I ask what it is!" .
“Yes."
“Well, pray sir, what is it!’*
“Why, you see," said the Receiver
General with great seriousness, “the

A Man Pleads' his own Case.
In the Quarter Sessions, Philadelphia,
recently, a man named Pierce Kitchen
was tried for an assault and battery up
on his wife. . Mrs. Kitchen was brought
to the stand. She couldn’t swear fcat
her husband ever struck her, but swore
that he indulged in whiskey and failed

mrt that he would plead his own
cause. Mr. Kitchen spread himself,
and made a speech. He faced thejury,
and went through the motions in a
manner that would have done no dis
credit to any of our best Q'urtei Sessions
practitioners. He informed the jury
that, having failed to prove that he laid
an angry hand upon his wife, he could
not possibly be convioted of an assault
ion her. As to the other oharges he
pleaded justifiaotion. “ Mrs. Kitchen,
gentlemen of thejury,” Bald Mr. Kitch
en, “is a member of a v ehuroh, Mrs..
Kitchen forsakes her kitchen, and
spends half her time in the church lec
ture-room. ' While my ^breeches are
running to seed, and the children going
about with ill-kept noses and dilapidat
ed extremities, Mrs. Kitchen is indulg-''
ing in a confab with a’lof of old ladies,
about the shocking nudity of the South
Sea Islanders. While willing to, provide
for her, gentlemen of the jury, I ain’t
willing to feed all the brethren of the
. nor to give Bohea parties to
twenty people twice a week neither. If
I’ve got tight on the. strength of suoh a
provocation, gentlemen of the jury, it
ain’t a bit more than the best of you
would have done if placed in rsy cir
cumstances ; and if you was me, and
I was you—knowing the case as I do
l’d render a verdict of acquittal, and
served the woman right.” Having said
this, Mr. Kitchen discontinued *the
subject, and the jury placing their heads
together, rendered a verdict of “ Not
guilty."
