P^etnj.
The melody “Old folks at Home ” has become very pop
ular. The last number of Zioo’s Herald contains the fol
lowing ne%v version,entitled
The Blest ones at Home.
Away on the banks of life’s bright river,
Far, far away—
There will my heart be turning ever,
There’s where the blest ones stay ;
All through this vale of sin and sorrow
Sadly I roam,
Still longing for the dawn of the morrow
And for the blest or.e3at home.
All without is dark and dreary,
Every where I roam,
O, brothers, how the heart grows weary,
Sighing for the blest ones at home.
Through all earth's sunny scenes I wandered
In youth’s gay morn ;
How many precious hours I’ve squandered,
How many mercies scorned ;
When seeking tin’s delusive pleasures,
Wretched was I,
Bat now my heart has found a treasure
There with the ble3t ones on high.
All without is dark, &<?.
()ne hour there is forever bringing
Memories of love;
’Twas when rr.y sighs were changed to singing
Os the blest ones above.
W hen shall I see my Saviour reigning
On his white throne ?
When will be hushed my heart’s complaining
There with the blest ones at home ?
All till then is dark and dreary
Every where I roam,
O, brothers, how the heart grows weary
Longing for the blest ones at home.
J i f sT seventeen.
Just seventeen ! tbe sweetest age
That’s entered on fair bcautj’s page*,
Lips like the rosebud cleft in twain,
Eyes like twin slurs ’neath some cloud,
That come their sparkling lights to shroud :
Rich tresses of the auburn glow,
Free waving o’er a brow of snow ;
And the bosom heaving, swelling,
Where tickling cupid holds his dwelling:
Os woman’s life, no year, 1 ween,
Like soft, sweet, pouting seventeen !
STANZAS.
We find a spot in every (lower,
A sigh in every gale;
A shadow in the brightest hour.
Thorns in the smoothest vale.
On beauty’s lash there is a (ear.
Youth’s brow betrays a furrow.
And caution whispers in love’s ear.
That fate may frown to-morrow.
In vain would fervid fancy paint,
This world a Paradise ;
A > v&iiil) wisdom hush complaint
By pointing To the skies.
To smile and weep, and weep and smile.
To man alternate ghen ;
To c.ling to earth permitted, while
We learn to long for Heave .

Sam Slick’s Wise Saws and Modern Instances.
Justice Ilaliburton is out with anew book,
bearing the above title. Here is a sample of his
humor that has reference to a late American
Minister at the Court of Great Britain. The
scene is an after dinner one at that gentleman’s
house. Slick is describing bis part in the en
tertainment:
“Lord Dunk Peterborough, or some such
name, sat alongside of me, and took to praisin’
our great nation at a great pace, it fairly took
me in at first, I didn’t see his drift ; it was to
draw me out, and set me a boastin’ and a brag
gin’ 1 do suppose. And I fell into the trap be
fore 1 know’d it.
“Alter trottin’ me round a bit, sais he, ‘Your
minister is a worthy representative of your glo
rious country. He is a scholar and a gentle
man. One ofhis predecessors did nothing but
compare. If you siiowed him a pack of hounds,
they were nothing to what hundreds had in
Virginia and the Southern States. If a fine
tree.it was a mere walking stick to an Ameri
can one. If a winning race horse, he had half
a dozen that would, as he expressed it, waik
away from him like nothing; and go on. Well,
there was another who could talk of nothing
but satinettes, coarse cotton, the slave trade,
and what he used to call New England domes
tics. It is refreshing to find our nation so well
represented.”
“Alt this was said as civil as you please, you
could not find fault in his manner a bit; still I
can’t sav I quite liked it. Ik ew there was some
truth it: it ; but how little or how much I
couldn’t tell, not bein’ much of a scholar.—
Thinks I to myself, I’m a man more used to giv
in’ than takin’ pokes, and never could keep em’
long without returnin’ them with interest. So
go on, I’ll see what you are about, and then I
rather guess I can take mv part with you.
“Sais lie, ‘l’m told his Latin is very pure.’
“ ‘lt’s generally allowed there can’t be no bet
ter,’ sais I,‘there is nobody’ to Cambridge—our
Cambridge I mean—that can hold a candle to
him.’
“ ‘lt’s fully equal,’ sais he, ‘to the generality
of the monastic Latin of the middle ages.’
“I was a drift here: I didn’t like the expres
sion of his eye—it looked quizzical; and l
must say, when lamed subjects come on the
carpet, I do feel a little grain streaked, for fear
I shall have to confess ignorance, or have to
talk and make a fool of myself. Thinks I to
myself, if his Latin is good, why didn’t he say
it was as good as what the Latins spoke or
wrote, and not stop half way at what minister
used, lam sure, to call the dark ages? How
ever, I’ll look quizzical too, and put my best foot
out.
“ ‘As good as that of the middle ages V sais I;
‘why, that’s not saying much for it either. Aint
he a middle aged man himself ? and hasn’t he
been at it alt his life?’ ; •
“ ‘Well, Slick, says he, ‘that’s uncommon
good ; that’s one of the best things I have heard
for a long time, and said so innocently too, as
if you really meant it Capital, by Jove 1 Come,
1 like that amazingly.’
“Thinks 1 to myself, it’s more than I do,
then, for 1 didn’t understand you, and I don’t
know the meanin’ of what I said myself. But
I’ll pay you offbitneby, Master Dunk—see if I
don’t.
“Sais he, lowerin’ his voice, confidential
like, ‘whata pity it is that he is Unitarian!”
“Now, thinks 1, mv boy, I’ve got you off dead
languages in upon livin’ subjects, I’ll play with
you as a cat does with a mouse.
“‘He wouldn’t be an honest man, if he
wasn’t,’ sais I; “he’d he beneath contempt.’
“ ‘Well,’ sais he, ‘I never argue about religion,
and will therefore not pursue the subject far
ther; but it creates a great prejudice here.’
“ ‘Religion,’ sais 1. ‘my good friend,’ lookin’
all amazed,‘whv, what in natur* has religion to
do with it ? It has neither art nor part in it.’
“Exactly,’ said he, ‘that’s the very point. Peo
ple here think a Unitarian little better than an
infidel.’
“Then you might,’ sais I, ‘just as well say a
Tory was an infidel, or a Whig, or a Protee

i there would he just as much sense in it. I be-
I iieve in my heart the English will never under

“ ‘Pray, may I ask,’ said he, ‘what you call
; a Unitarian ?’
; “ ‘Sartainly,’ sais I; ‘for when folks go to ar
! gue, they ought first to know what they are talk
in’ about; to define their terms, and see they un
-1 derstand each other. I’ll tell you in a few words
j what a Unitarian is.’
“Just then. Minister speaks up, (and it’s a curi

laugh and a divarsion, and I continues: ‘You
see, my Lord, our genera! Government is a fed
eral one, exercisin’ sartain powers delegated to
1 it by the separate States, which with this excep

j State is a unit, and these units fi rm a whole ;
| but the rights of the separate States are as sa
| cretl as the rights of the government to Wash
j ington ; and good patriots everywhere stand
j by their own units, and are called Unitarians;
• while some are for strengthenin’ the general
! Government, at the expense of the individual
sovereignty, and these are called Federalists;
and that’s the long and short of the matter.—
And what on nirth religion has to do with these
nicknames, I don’t know.’
“Sais he ‘I never knew that before ; I thought
Unitarians were a religious sect, being anoth
ei name for the Sociniaus, and I am very glad
to hear this explanation.’
| “ Thinks I, I hope it will do you good ;it is
, as good as a middle-age Latin, at any rate.”
“After some further talk, sais he, ‘Your Min

“Here's at you again, Master Lord Dunk,
j sais I ; you ain’t quite sold yet, though you are
1 bespoke—that’s a fact. ‘Well,’ sais I, ‘he is
! cold, but that’s his misfortune, and not his fault:
| it’s a wonder to me he ain’t dead long ago. He
will never be quite thawed out. The chill went
into his marrow.’
“ ‘What chill V says he, ‘is not that his nafu
-1 ral manner?’
i “ ‘How can you ask such a question as that,
jmy Lord ?’ sais I. ‘When he left College as a
I young man, he entered into the ice trade to sup-
I ply New Orleans w ith ice, and a grand spec he
| made of it; but it near cost him his life, lie
was a great man to drive business, and if you
j want to drive buuiness with us, you must work
j yourself. He was at the ice lake day and night
j almost, a handlin’ of it; and the last vessel he
! loaded that year he went in her himself. His
berth was near the companion-ladder, the best
berth in the ship, but it jines on to the hold, and
the chill of that ice cargo, especially when he
got into the hot climate of New Orleens, so
penetrated his jints, and limbs and marrow, he
has never been warm since, and never will; he
tells me it’s extendin’ upwards, and he isafeard
I of his heart.’
“Well he roared right out ; he haw hawed
as loud as a man cleverly and politely can at a
gentleman’s table, and sais he, ‘That is the best
contrived story to excuse a cold manner I ever
heard iu my life. It’s capital, upon my word!’ ’
Miss Leslie oa Slang
“ There is no wit,’’ says the author of the Be
havior Book, “in a lady to speak of taking a
‘snooze/ instead of a nap—in calling pantaloons
‘pants,’ or gentlemen ‘gents’—in saying of a
man whose dress is getting old, that ho looks
“seedy’—and in alluding to an amusing anec
dote, or a diverting incident, to say that it is
rich/ All slang words are detestable from the
lips of ladies. We are always sorry to hear a
young lady use such a word as ‘polking,’ when
she tells of having been engaged iu a certain
dance, too fashionable not long since ; hut. hap
pily, now it is fast going out, and almost banish
ed from the best society. To her honor ho it
remembered, Queen Victoria lias prohibited the
polka being danced in her presence. How can
a genteel girl bring herself to say, ‘Last night i
was polking with Mr. Bell,’ or -Mr. Cope came
and asked me to polk with him?’ Its coarse and
ill-sounding name is worthy of the dance. YVe
have little tolerance for young ladies who hav
! ingin reallity neither wit nor humor, set up for
j both, and, having nothing of the right stock to
I go upon, substitute coarseness and impertinence,
(not to say impudence.) and try to excite laugh
ter, and attract the attention of gentlemen by
talking slang. Where do they get it ? How do
they pick it up ? From low newspapers, or
from vulgar books? Surely not from low com
panions? We have heard of one these ladies,
when her collar chanced to he pinned away, say
that it was put on drunk—also, that her bonnet
was drunk, meaning creeked on her head.—
When disconcerted she was floored.’ When
submitting to do a thing unwillingly, ‘sits was
brought to the scratch/ Sometimes ‘she did
things on the siy.’ She talked of a certain great
vocalist ‘singing like a beast/ She believed it
very smart and piquant to use these vile expres
sions. It is true, when at parties, she always
had half a dozen gentlemen about her; their
cariosity being excited as to what she would

good qualities.; and one who boasted ofliaving

Strange Adventure. —Mr. Redblossom drank
more than his usual allowance of hot rum and
sugar, one cold night, the consequence of which
was, he gave his wife a rather confused account
ofhis conduct, on his return home. “Mr. Smith’s
grocery store invited me to go and drink, cousin
Sam—and you see, the weather was dry—and
I was very sloppy—so I said I didn’t mind
punching one drink—and’s queer how my head

Ctopton iu the Field.
David Clopton is a candidate for Congress in
this district. His letter below gives the encour
aging news that he will enter actively into the
canvass next week, beginning at China Grove,
Pike county, on the 7th instant. We solicit, a
hearty reception wherever he makes his ap
pearance, and as the time is short, we beg his
friends in every part of the district to go to work
immediately, and the result in August will be
highly gratifying. It is our duty to sustain him,
not only by our approval, but by active labors—
we cannot labor for a better or more deserving
man.
He is able, true and unexceptionable, and his
election to Congress will tedound to the ever
lasting credit of this dist rict. No man will ever
have cause to regret casting a vote for David
Clopton. His taients are unquestionable—his
upr ght, consistent deportment evident to all,
and his position in every respect really enviable.
His numerous friends of all parties have repeat
edly and urgently solicited him to take the field.
He yields at last, though reluctant to exchange
the quiet and comforts of private life for the noise
and hustle of the campaign and the stirring
scenes of Congress. Hence he is not forcing
himself upon the district, hut only acting from
a high sense of duty and obeying the voice of
his warm friends. While we entertain no doubt
of iiis election, we are anxious that it he nearly
unanimous. Come, friends, lie up and doing,
without regard to sacrifice, and let us discharge
the duty .ve owe to ourselves, to the State and
the country at large. One long pull for David
Clopton ! —Adi?. Gaz.
Tlskkuke, Juno 30, 1853.
Since the publication of my letter of 3d inst.,
such a clear manifestation has been made in so
many different portions of the District, that I
feel it would he improper for me to hesitate
longer.
You are therefore authorized to announce me
as a candidate in the 2d Congressional District.
I regret that tiie shortness of the time will not
suffer me to canvass the whole District. I will
j endeavor, however, to pass through as much of

31 v Jenkins’ letter ot Acceptance.
Augusta, 29iIi June. 1853.
Cien'lon 1 n Ih ve rece.ved your communica
tion of the ‘3ld inst., informing me that a “Convene
tion of the Coiisutvativo men of Georgia assem
bled in Mifie lgeviile on tha! day, h and selected me
as their candidate for Governor, in the approaching
canvass,” aud requesting my acceptance of lhe nom
ination.
However reluctant I may have been to occupy
! that position, the unanimity of their selection and
my own entile sympathy with the spirit of ilieir
further deliberations, forbid even momentary hesita
tion to acquiesce in their wi.-hes
1 have read, with deep interest, the published pro
ceedings of dial body, end am gratified to perceive
that their p .sirion has been taken wi'h direct refer
ence to present rather than to past issues, and that
they have spoken in a spirit of fealty to country
lather than to party.
In our complex system of Government, “the
rights of the States and the Union of the States,”
are paramount interests, and their preservation re
quires perpetual vigilance. Our forefathers, in
habiting distinct colonies, by n united struggle
achieved their independence ; but the glorious eon
summation was, die investiture of each colony with
the attribires es separate Slate Sovereignty
Commensurate with their valor was the wisdon
which promptly and seemed that the best safe guard,
the surest guaranty, to each S ate of her newly ac
quired freedom and sovereignty, was the Union of
all Hie States. This union, to be effectual, must
be invested with certain governmental functions.—
Hence tiie delegation, by the States, of some of
their political powers, with the express reservation
of those not delegated, fidelity to the distribution
thus ma le, is one of the highest dudes of all Ame
rican patriots. So far fiom being inconsistent with
or antagonistic to eacli other, the sovereignty of
the States and the Union of the States are mutual
supports, and component parts of a structure which
time is fast consecrating as the realization of man’s
grandest political conception. lii theory, their har
mony is perlect; in prac'ice, their seeming conflict
is the result of corrupt or desperate state-inanship.
Fanatics, to promote particular ends, and Consoliila
tionists, to subvert a Constitution they never ap
proved, will oltenseek to steal away from die States
their reserved rights, and gradually build up an all
controlling central power. Their polit cal anti
podes, more ardent than discreet, mole jeah us of
.State sovereignty than careful of Federal Un on,
exasperated by such perfidious intrigues, are al
ways too ready to proclaim Disunion and adventure
madly on untried experiments. It is the noble and
responsible mission of conservative citizen-., calm
ly, yet vigilantly watching the progress of events,
to thwart the insidious machinations of ihe former,
and crush the precipitate uprisings ot die latter.—
In fulti Iment of this mission, Georgia laid befo-e
thecoun'ry the exposition and resolutions adopted
by tli? 0 given’ on of December, 15): ind surely
all who gave them a sincere an i hearty appro
val then, will rejo ce in their realfi.mance now.
The sympathy expressed by djj convention for
the oppressed of other climes is but a pulsation of
the great American hca't. It is a generous and
elevated sentiment, the simple expression of which
cheers the heart, and nerves the arm of freedom’s
struggling votify everywhere. I#t, for the reason
that it is generous and impulsive, a vere restraint is
requisite to confine it. within the well defined limits
of onr internati >n and policy. Prominent among t.e
ancient land marks, which indi ate those limits, is
the interdiction of entangling alliances, and inter
vention in foreign controversies. No eh se observer
of passing even's car have overlo ked rec“nt efforts
to stigmatize tiiis iruiy American principle, as adap
ted only to the weakness of our infancy, and unbe
coming the vigor of our m iturity. Innovation
(misnamed progress) is and -ing much to lure us Iran
and e path* of peace, wherein the*gnod and tiie w.se
of oihet days led the young R public on io pros
perity and to fame ; but no one of her many de
partures is fraigit wth more unmitigated evil
t an this abomintole heresy of propagating ny the
swnrd, truths, we have heretofore been content to
tench by example. lam highly gratified, therefor.,
to find that upon these two cardinal points—tne one
of domestic, the other ol foreign policy—bo ll re

a’ the present moment, die convention adhere to
io the lessons taught by the founders of our gov
ernment, and recognize as their oracie, ‘‘The’Fa
ther of his Country.”
Every administration should be held to strict ac
countability in the expenditure of pu .lic monev, for
two snffi ient reasons: Economy lends to lighten
the burthens of government, always cheerlullv
Dome by our patriotic people when reasonable, and
it fosters repubfi. an simplicity and purity. Cheap
ness and simpl.cty in evety department are out
ward, visible tokens, dis ioguishiog republican
from regal sway. Their disappearance is au infalli
ble symptom of degeneracy.
Tne Federal Domain is a source of vast national
weal’h, stimulating cupidity,and inching to inequit
able sectional demands. The disposition of tht
public, lands is therefore a subject of great magni
tude, and present urgency, ‘l he new Stales, horn,
reared and esiablished in maturity upon them, as
suming that propinquity gives preference, and con
necting w ith their disposition “wild, reckless, and
gigan ic schemes of imernal improvement,” are
manifestly seeking to devote them to “the promo-

Always fond of my profession, lhe last Ihiriy

■'Jk.nkins.—Down in the State of Georgia
lives Jenkins—a personage as myterions as tire
Grand Lama, the Wandering Jew, or the Iron
Mask. The birth, parentage, and education of
Jenkins, are unsolved mysteries. It is only
known that somewhere among the cotton-fields
of the thriving State of Georgia dwells, in aw
ful state, the man called Jenkins, holding in the
hollow of his hand the entire Whig party of that
fiery commonwealth, from Fighting Town
Creek to the sources of Ocilla, and from .Sav
annah to Columbus. The Alatnmaha hears his
terrible voice and is seized with a low stage of
water—the Flint as it rolls onward toward the
Gulf is more fixed in its bed than ever. In fact,
Jenkins is a name to conjure with—yet Jenkins
has been hitherto unknown out of Georgia. But
no * the fame of Jenkins is spreading and be
coming national. Jenkins is destined to save
the Union, and being assigned to the special
work, the patrons of the Union, the men who
trade in saving it from the people at large, are
sound ug the praises of Jenkins His name first
comes to its by lightning to the sound of mut
tering thunder. We are startled by telegraphic
assurance that Jenkins will not allow Georgia
to vote for Scott, and that the W higs of Gcor
gia do exactly as Jenkins says. An awful pause
ensues, and we find Jenkins pitched on as the
Georgia bolting candidate for her President
Finally, at one of these awful meetings, wherein
that eminent teacher of young tallies, the Rev.
Mr. Winslow, holds forth, with length wholly
out of proportion to strength, it is announced by
somebody that Jenkins is as great a man as
Webster, only not so well known. The bolters
of Boston respond to the bolters of Georgia, and
make Jenkins their candidate for Vice-President.
Slim are the chances of Jenkins for vice Presi
dent. His vote will he small in Georgia, and
hardly perceptible in Massachusetts. The elec
toral ticket got up for him in this State will lie
where on election day. it is even doubted
whether half the names on it are not fictitious
But Jenkins will be run, and he will acquire an
ephemeral reputation among a few men who
take bolting newspapers.”—,V fi. Mercury.

mated so near to Democracy a- to support the ticket (pit
up in opp oi’ion to the decision of that convention and in
opposition to the Pi.r.-e and Kino ticket which carried
tiie State in tile Presidential Election. It may be answer
ed that the pr.-s.-nt editor lias at some time claimed lo be a

diffcence whatever between the teachings and political
alii .nets of the paper as it was. under the name ot “Hel

As to the other “Democratic authority ,” cite 1 and

.State to take into consideration their commercial
interests, and deliberate upon the measures best
calculated to promote, facilitate and direct their
development. I: is intended to he in some sort
an offset to the Convention which was re
cently held at Memphis, audio counteract what
influence that movement is likely to have upon
Congress in the location of the route of the pro
jected Pacific Railroad. The suggestion of our
Chicago neighbors seems to meet with very
general favor from the cities of the Nortn and
will probably receive a like response from New
York and Boston. Present appearances indi
cate that a Convention of this cimracter will
be called during the current season to meet pro
bably at Cbicagoor some other city of the North
ern Lakes. —Alton Telegraph.
Rights of Colored Persons. — We learn from
the New Y ork papers that in the ease of James
i’. Garrett, a colored man, vv ho applied for a man
damns, compelling the College of Ptusiciaus
and Surgeons to admit him to the lectures of
tiiat institution, the court has decided that it is
one in which it has no jurisdiction ; that the
admission or exclusion of persons rests with
the trustees of the college ; and if any appeal
be made, it must he to the regents of the Uni
versity. It will hp remembered that the trus
tees had previously refused to allot.t him.
Highway Robbery. —We were informed yes
terday that a day or two since a gentleman,
while quietly strolling on tiie Bay road, was set
upon by robbers in broad day light, knocked
down and his pockets rifled of a watch and Ssl)
in money. The moral world is sadly out of
joint, and unless pur police is more vigd nt e
fear we shall be classed as low in the scale as
some of our northern citi, s. —Mobile Tribune.
