In earlier and less dangerous days theConstiluiion
was esteemed sacred and inviolable, and the issues
in elections whether State or Federal, werealwav*
aith reference to matters of policy for the public
ijiMid, without appealing to the passions and pie-
nidicee of one src.ion of the confederacy against an
other, ami without arraying North against South,
or East against West. But now the all absorbing
question ot the day is negro slavery.
The non-slaveholdiligr States disiegard altogether
the great measures of government, upon which
alone politiea! parties can be legitimately organ
ized. Their single point of operations, upon which
they are all united, with the exception of a noble
band of indomitable Deino.-rats, in antagonism,
unreasoning and unrelenting, to our done stic in
stitution. They count their force of fanatical as
sailants of the South, by hundreds upon hundreds
of thousands. In the late presidential election
they met us openly and boldly, and with a force
that induced Southern men, the most loyal, con
servative and fearless, to counsel preparation for
an event which they contemplated with a sadness
similar with w“ ich a disapproving Providence
must look don n upon fallen angels. Disunion'is
a word not recognized in the political nomencla
ture of the fathers of the republic, lint now it is
becoming much more familiar than the precepts
and principles inculcated by those gieat and good
men, whose virtues taught them that the spirit
of liberty was an emanation from the same source,
to which the christain religion owes its exist
ence—the one intended for the temporal, the other
for the e'ernal happiness of mankind. And what
their virtues taught them to be true, their wis
dom enabled them to embody and adapt to their
Country.
The Constitution illustrates liberty in its only
practical light. And as long as the principles it
proclaims, those rights which it demands for the
federal government, and those which it demands
to the States, were acknowledged and observed by
all parties and all sections, the Union was rev. red
as the sanctuary of freedom. But since the sov
ereignty of the States is assailed, the interests of
the tynith endangered, and our system of govern
ment threatened with a prostitution of the princi
ples and powers of liberty, to tyranny, insult and
outrage, upon fifteen sovereign States of this con
federacy, the Southern people, when they talk
of a dissolution ot the Union, are advocating nu
adherence to those principles upon which our gov
ernment was organized, and manifesting the same
Spirit which prompted the declaration of inde
pendence. As yet the Union is intact, and safe for
four years at least. The threat* of the traitors,
who would sacrifice one section to the envy, am
bition and hvprocrisy of the o' her, can ne' er ac
complish a disruption of the confederacy, until the
anti-slavery party possess the power to execute
them. Ohio and Massachusetts may enact laws for
the protection of fugitive slaves, and send repre
sentatives to Congress to preach ih • t re son which
their State" are practicing the abolition press may
vilify the South and the institutions of the South;
all Yankeedom may resound with “'shrieks for
freedom,” but the Union will endure until the Fed
eral government is brought under the control of
men who will abuse its authority by denying the
sovereignity of'.he States, or, otherwise, so impair
its efficacy for its intended end", as to makefile
interests ofone section either directly or indirectly
subservient to another Occasion* have already
nrisen on which the ISoiith has made serious sacri
fices for the sake of the Union. And those occasions
were almost as alarming as the strength and mien
of aboli tiotiism now They were the premonitory
symptoms of the rankling malady with which we are
now contending, to save the vital organs of our gov
ernment from its destructive toudf.
Compromises between the North and South, ran
no longer receive the sanction even of the most
temporizing men. They have always been injudi
cious. And the time has come when the princi-
r iles of the government must either be empliatical-
y approved or denounced. The fanatics ofthe
North have declared war, without quarter, upon our
institutions, with flaming fin-brands and the fury of
fiends, they are rallying their forces for Ugh. ;andthe
South, to stand against the onset, must meet them
in compact columns. If they succeed, the Union
must be sundered. If they are beaten, we may
expect its perpetuity.
The South, if left alone to battle with an united
North, would be driven to separation at once.—
But throughout the territory of the enemy there is
an organised Democracy ready to make a Ther
mopylae of every pass. The national Democrats of
the North are pairiotic-heroes, whom history and
posterity will well remember. Whether in defeat
or victory, they are men to be marked by the
nation. In Vermont or in Maine, as in Illinois or
Pennsylvania, those gallant defenders of the Con
stitution, who have been and are still contesting
every inch of ground with the enemies of our insti
tutions,even if they muster only a corporal's guard,
deserved to be applauded by every lover of liberty
in this and in every other country.
On the issue of slavery they are as steady and
staunch as when party lines were drawn upon
other and less exciting questions. It is true, there
are thousands of our allies in the North, who bava
deserted to the anti-slavery ranks. But those who
remain under the Democratic banner stil are “pil
lars of State," on whom the republic might repose
in safety.
Anticipating unity in the South, the success of
the Northern Democracy in maintaining their
ground, holds out the only hope of the Union. Our
principles, are their principles,and their fate will be
our fete. If the local and State elections are
indices to the great result in 186,1, there are
significant signs that we shall re-capture some of
our prizes, which still hare the black flag flying.
li the vanguard of the national Democracy at
the North can continue to press forward, to win

was the remembrance, when theij; work was done,
that we had among us as a guest a distinguished
and honored champion of democratic principles,
w ho had led the way unfalteringly iu many times
of peril, and always to victory; and with a hearty
enthusiasm worth} at once their own achievements,
and the lofty patiotism and unequalled statsman-
ship of the guest they honored, the democratic
hustscame up trom their various wards to off- r
him, iu the flush of victory, their tribute of respect.
It was a spontaneous tribute, and the time for it
most tilting and appropriate;while in its character
it testified the unwavering attachment of the demo
cracy to an honored public servant, who lost sight
•! self, and all considerations save those of the
high -st patriotism, in the great principles and ideas
ot the national democracy.
It became known during the day that ex-Pre.si-
dent Pierce had recently returned from Concord
to his family in this city, and the idea conceived
of demonstrating to him the high respect entertain
ed for him by the democracy of Phiidelaphia, and
their gratification at his temporary sojourn in our
city. To him, no longer clothed with official
power, ttm democracy owed a debt of lasting grati
tude forthe brilliant and high-toned statesmanship
that had made his administration a bright era iu
our national history, and proudly th- y bore to him
• heir wreaths of victory. The various wards hav
ing been heard from, to a suffice nt extent to ren-
der a complete triumph no longer a matter ot
doubt, crowds ofeiitlms stic democrats began about
II o'clock to wend their way to ex President
Pierce's quarters ;.t the I-a Pierre House, and in a
short time Broad street was densely filled by the
crowd foran entire square, while Beck’s admira
ble band, w hich had been pressed into service by
the jubilant democracy, discoursed eloquent music
in honor of the distinguished guest.
Theerowd at this time numbered some six or
eight thousand persons, and calls for the ex-Presi- _
.lent were mingled with deafening cheers as the I obtained and gave to the publiC"
returns from still other wards were reported. 1 inal- obs -i-vation- <>t the comet of !-!!!, 1

Pierce made his appearance upon the balcony, ac
companied by General Patterson and a number of
personal friends. His appearance was the signal
for an outbreak of deafetii g applause, and cheer
followed cheer tor some minutes.
When the applause had somewhat subsided,
General Patterson stepped forward.and in a m-at
but briefspeech introduced Genera! Pierce to the
multitude. General Pattersoii said in substance:
“1 am glad, my friends, to see you liere, and to
know that you have been engaged in a good cause
Yon have been doing to-day that which I helped
to do f.-om twenty to forty years ago—meeting and
defeating the opponents of the democracy. I was
rejoiced to hear your cheers, for they assured m,
of victory. I love to in r-a hearty, joyous Penn
sylvania cheer, and yours was familiar to my ear,
• here are but two kinds of men iu the world that
can give a cheer w orth listening to—soldiers and

“But I am not here to-night to make a speech.

Granite State and in Congress—who served you

men. Gentlemen of Philadelphia, w ithout further
preface, permit me to introduce to you an un
flinching democrat, an accomplished gentleman, a
gallant soldier, a pure patriot, and an hottest man,
Gen. Franklin Pierce.”
The speech of Gen. Patterson was received with
hearty and frequent cheers, and when he had
concluded the welkin rang again with a heartfelt
w elcome to General Pierce. He paused a moment,
and at a single gesture, indicating a purpose to
speak, quiet pervaded the vast multitude. Gen.
Pierce w as manifestly affected by the more than
cordiai feeling pervading the vast crowd before
him, and spoke with great warmth and feeling.
He spoke for about a quarter of an hour, saying in
substance;
“I thank you, fellow-citizens, for this unexpect

The Comet.
The PTT>ept"d com- t of the present rear has *1-
ready attracted so mtich attention, and so many
vague rumors in regard to it nave found thei'r
...n into the iK .vspap Ts.tii.i, a plain st.it. men of
the tacts, merely, upon which its appearance has
been predicted, may not lie w ithout interest, and
may, peihaps, be of some use in pievecting exag
geration on the subject. These facts are substan
tially as follows:
A resemblance between the comets of 1264 and
loot; had been a subject of notice and speculation
for more than half a century. More recently, on
examination of ancient Chinese observations, made
by the Jesuits resident in that country, showed
that a comet had also be.-n olsw-rved iu the year
975. The orbits of the two first of these comet*
had been computed by Halley and Pingre; but in
the year 1*45, Mr. John Russel Hind, then the
astronomer in Mr. Bishop's observatory in London,
commenced a mure rigorous discussion and an
alysis of all the observations of these comets,
which he published about that time. The resul
of this discussion seemed to justify the conclusion
that the appearances of 975, 1264, and 1556,might
be successive returns of the same body: in which
case, its reappearance might be expected any time
between the years 1-56 and 1*6 f. The grounds
for this conclusion b- iiig the almost equal length
of period, “289 and “299 years, (the difference not
being greater than what might have been occa
sioned by the perturbations of the plnneisof our
si stein,) tin- similar position of the orbits in space,
and some gent ra! resemblance of the 1 odv at each
return. The identify, however, thus established,
is, under the most favorable circumstances, a bare
probability. The observations, even the latest of
hem, upon which the computed or hits depend,
i >ciug on account of the imperfect character of the
instrument and methods of that carl} time, not very
reliable
Mr. Hind’s labors, however, were of sufficient
interest to become matter of criticism toother cis-
titigttishcd astronomers, and in the course of the
last year Professor Lit trow of Vienna, following an
intimation given many years before by Lalaude,
une Chinese
which it was
at first thought a more perfect determination
could be arrived at. Unfortunately, with these
latter observations, the uncertainties arising from
defective science have been angiin uted by the
difficulties of understanding the language and
terms in w Inch the record liadbeec made. Sure
then, several other astronomers have taken up the
subject, the principal of w hich is Dr Hock of
Leyden- This gentleman has presented a view of
the case which would make the identity of the
cornet of 1964 and that of 1556 not at all probable.
The difference between Dr. Hoek and Mr. Kind,
arising chiefly from the different interpretation of
the Chinese manuscript, is rather philosophical
than astronomical.
The English astonomer has computed and pub
lished an cphiuneris for the hypothetic orbit, upon
the supposition that the perihelion passage may
happen at any time in the year 1-5*. The w ide
imit he has found necessary to give in this
respect is sufficient indication (if the uncer
tainty of the material from which Ids tlicory has
be. n wrought.
The above are all the material facts in regard
to the expi cb d visitor. If it be reuly a return of
the same comet, we have the gratification to know
that it lias paid us a harmless visit twice hi foie.
Indeed, there is some room for couifoit in this res
pect: for the comet of 1951 w hs large, threatening,
and followed by an immense sweep i (’train; wheras,
in 1556, it was of much less dimension, and ex
cited little wonder or apprehension. We may,
therefore, tnteitain the hope ihat it is now of still
less dimension and power to harm. To be sure,
too nigh an approach of any comet might be pro
ductive of inconvenience: but even this is a matter
of which w e can only speculate; the physical con
stitution of these bodies being quite as unknow n
as their numbers or uses to us. From six to ten
of them are careering about onr solar system every
year—one having passed not long since between
Jupiter and his satellites with out perceptibly
changing the economy of that planet Of the two
comets of the present year, one has already disap
peared; the other, now identified as the third comet
of 1*46, will he visible in telescopes till the 1st of

Great Sational Trial of MACHINERY and IMPLE
MENTS of every description pertaining to Agki-
CCLTUKE, and Household Manufactures, at the
FIFTH ANNUAL FAIR,
to be held in LnnisriUe, Ky„ during the Fall of 1857.
The undersigned, a Committee of the United
States, appointed at the Fifth annual Meeting held
at the Smithsonian Institute, in the city of Wash
ington, on the 14th day of January, 1-57, ‘“to
make all the necessary arrangements for a ,Vu-
tional Trial in the field of Agricultural Implements
and Machinery,'' respectfully invite the inventors
and Manufacturers of ail such articles, both in the
United States and Foreign Countries, to partici
pate in a public trial to be made at the Society's
Annual Exhibition, to be held in Louisville, Ken
tucky, during the fall of 1857.
This new arrangement for the exhibition of Ag
ricultural Implements and Machinery of all kinds
In actusi operation, results from a conviction on
the part of the Society that no just awards can be
made, except upon a practical working trial be
fore competent judges: and the fullest opportunity
will be afforded to test the comparative merits of
the various machines that may he entered as com
petitors for the awards, both as regards land for
field implements, and steam power for machinery.
Afceparate trial of Reapers and Mowers will be
made at the appropriate season, special arrange
ments for w hich, as to time, place, Ac., will be
announced at an ee-ly date.
It is intended that these exhibitions shall be on
the most extensive scale, for the purpose of test
ing the working qualities of these important im
plements more thoroughly than has yet been done
on any previous occasion, either iu the United
States or in Europe.
All articles from foreign countries intended for
exhibition may be consigned to the “Agent of U
S. Agricultural Society, Louisville, Kv,” by
whom they will be received and stored free of
charge.
This brief announcement of the proposed trial
Is made at this early date to afford the most ample
time for the preparation and transmission of
machinery. A circular containing full particu
lars as to regulations will he issued as soon as
practicable, and, with the premium list, will he
forwarded te persons who may apply to the Secre
tary of the Committee, Henry S. Oieott, American
Institute. N. Y. t where all burines* letters should
be addressed.
To enable the Society to make arrangements on
a sufficiently liberal scale, it is absolutely neces
sary that the Committee should know what articles
will be offered for competition; and they therefore.
request that all inventors or manufacturers who
may be disposed to unite n the proposed trial,
communicate their intentions to the Secretary at
their earliest convenience.

Sympathy in Trouble.—A Gentleman r.ho for

thrushes very much excited in some bushes near
hi* bouse, examined them to ascertain the eauso
ol it, when he found a female tbusli. whose wir.g
was caught in a limb, so that she could not es
cape. Her nest was near by, in which were sev
eral half-grown birds. As he retired a company of
thru-lies came with worms, w hich they gave to the
mother and her young, she, in the mean time cheer,
tng them with a s„ng of gratitude. After he had
watched them fora little time he released the poor
bird, w hen she flew to her nest, with a sweet song
to her deliveier, while her charitable neighbors
went ringing to their own homes.

Simplicity of English Dress—In the families of
many ofthe nobiity and gentry of England, pos

and more simplicity in the furnishing of the dwell

The distinguished ex-President was frequently
interrupted and compelled to pause in his remarks
by the applause they elicited. His beautiful
allusion to the immortal instrument framed in old
Independence Hall, and the duty of Philadelphia
to guard and defend that sacred w ork, was most
vociferously cheered; and when he had concluded,
the unbounded applause of the multitude testified,
at once their approval of Iris sentiments, and their
strong personal regard for himself.
The crowd lingered for some time, the hand
playing a nnmlrer of patriotic airs, and broke up
finally with three hearty cheers for the glorious
achievements of the day, and its happy termina
tion.
Decay of Black Republicanism.—Every day
occasions. The furniture of the mansion, instead
of being turned out of doors every few years, for
new and fashionable styles, was the same which
the ancestors of the families for several genera
tions had possessed—substantial and in excellent
preservation, but plain, and without any preten
sions to elegance. Even the carpets, on many
suits of parlors, had been on the floors for fifty
years, and were expected to do service for another
halt century. With us how- different is the state
of things! We are w asting nu amount of wealth
in this country, on show and fashion, w hich, if

republicans nowhere increase their vote or win
new majorities. The party lose upon a false and
rotten basis, and must from necessity fall when the
people understand the foundation upon w hich it
stauds. Decay is legibly written upon it. Such
is ever the fate of error, falsehood, and deception.
The black-republican leaders fee I this, and hence
an- writhing in agony at their future prospect*
lf Kansas cannot be induced to commit some

much already on their account to become a willing
victim to further their political operations. Her
prosfM-rity has been sadly retarded, and the hap
piness of her people too greatly diminished by
foliowing the counsels of political fanatics and
demagogues to readily yield again to their selfish
and had advice. If Kansas, by self-immolation,
does not supply fresh materials for agitation,
black republicanism will soon die a natural death.

Russell, Lady Mildred Hope, the daughter of the
Marquis of Salisbury, and the wife of Mr. Berse-
ford Hope—who has just got in for Maidstone—
by the admission of all parties, carried the election
for her husband. She did not exactly canvass for
him, but all through the election she was con
stantly driving about the town: she also was more
active at the nomination and during the polling;
and at the close, unable to restrain herself any
longer, she threw up the w iudow of her hotel, and
addressed the mob in a speech which everybody
agreed was better than her husband's delivered
immediately afterw ard from the same place.
This is a practical demonstration of “Woman’s

Naral Apprentices.—The drill and practice of
apprentices and boys in the navy generally
take place on board the receiving-ships at the
several stations—in the North Uaroliua at Brook
lyn, the Ohio at Charlestown, and the Pennsylva
nia nt Gosport. They are enlisted at the several
rendezvous (not under 14 or over J8 years of age)
by their parents or guardians, as 1st, 2d, and 3d
class apprentices, with pay varying from §8 to
jilt) per month, and generally remain on board
the receiving-ships at school a few months, before
being detailed for sea. If, upon their return from a
cruise, rhey are recommended by their command
ing officers to be well qualified for gunners, car
penters, suilmakers, or boatswains, their names
•re filed at Washington for those appointments
when vacancies occur.
The .VIorinoitn.
It seems that the Black Republican jonmals,
and even some of the conservative ones at the
North, cannot prevail upon themselves to exercin-
a due regard for the eleventh commandment: that
is, to attend to their own business, and let other
people’s alone. The Boston Transcript lately said:
“ Really Yankees are the most encroaching, and
indelicate of human creatures—pertinacious, self-
seeking. and inconsiderate.” The Transcript
ought to know, for it is “one of ’em.” It may
be taken as a fact, then, that what we say is true;
that some Yankees do not know how to attend to
their ow n business, and let other people’s alone.
They are making an exhibition of this failing iu
their animadversions upon the Mormons.
Harper's Weekly, among other Northern journ
als, is very much shocked at the polygamy of the
Salt Lakers, and says it must he put down, but it
must be put down upon principle. Upon what
principle to put it down, is tbe trouble with Har
per. It thinks that the “rule of absolute and uni
versal religious freedom.” and the “doctrine of
local sovereignty” are both “involved in the solu
tion of the Mormon question.” Neither tbe “rule’
nor the “doctrine,” it thinks, must be violated
Ami yet the polygamy of the Mormons must be put
down. But how !
In order to put it down upon principle, it thinks
government must assume “ Christianity to be the
religion of the country,” as if established by law;
that polygamy is in violation of Christianity, and
therefore of the law of the country, and therefore
must be put down. It is thus that Harper floun
ders on through error to its final conclusion. The
first half of its article is admirably, and logically
written: but the latter half is asfuii of errors as
can be, clustering like bees around the central
error, which is, that Christianity is by law, the re
ligion of this country.
\Ve are ready to admit that Christianity is the
religion of the country, and we are well aware
that Christianity is at the bottom of most, if not
all, the laws of the country. But yet Christianity
is no more the religion, by law, of the United
States, than Judaism or Mahouimedanism. And,
if we are correct iu onr memory, this assurance
was once given by one of our government officials
in a diplomatic correspondence w ith one of the
Barbary States. Then the polygamy of the Mor
mons cannot he put down upon the principle as
sumed by Harper. And there is no principle upon
which the Federal Government can assume the
power to put it down.
But before going farther, this is a convenient
place to say sotm thing more about Harper’s disre
gard of the eleventh commandment. Why should
it trouble itself so much about polygamy in Utah,
! w hen there is virtually more of it in the city of
j New Y..rk than was ever dreamed of in the city cl
I Salt Lake ! The Day Book of Oct. 11, 1*56, says:
" It is a startling fact that prostitution is growing,
spri-ailing and widening in the cities of London
and New York at a fearful rate, and there are sad
reasons to believe that a system of trade in the
bodies of women is i sfabhshed and systematically
carried on, with a deliberate calculation as to pro
fit and loss, with all the regulations of commercial
transactions. * * * *
Prior to the administration of Mayor Wood, a
walk along Broadway, between eight and twelve
o'clock, would show pictures of fallen humanity,
trafficing and trading bodies and souls, with the
cool effrontery and shameless disregard of any dis
guise, either of man or woman, w hich would be
witnessed in the market lor slave beauties at Con
stantinople.”
This is the picture of virtual—not virtuous—
polygamy in the great city of New York, given
by one of its own journals. And Harper, and
other New York journals, instead of casting the
beam out of their own eye, are raging off' to Salt
Lake to pluck the mote out of their brother’s eve.
Will llarptr, because the officers of the law in New
York do not or cannot put down polygamy in
Gotham call upon the Federal Government to put
it down foi tliriii '■ To be consistent, they must do
so For the only difference between the New
York polygamists and the Mormon polygamists, is
that the latter have the sanction both of their re
ligion and local law, while the former are polyga
mous in defiance of both religion and law.
What, then ! Are vou in favor of suffering all
the enormities of the Mormons to go unpunished !
Not we! But we must punish only their viola
tions of Federal law, and not intetfere with their
religion or local law, so faras these do not conflict
with the constitution and constitutional laws.
And if they are punished for all their violations of
Federal laws, they will he punished as much as
they areabio to bear. Now let us see about this
matter. Judge Drummond, one of the Justices of
the Supreme Court of Utah, upon resigning his
office, gives his reasons for doing so as follows:
“In the first place, Brigham Young, the Govern
or of Utah Territory, is the acknowledged head of
the Church of Jesnj, Christ of Latter-day Saints,
camuiouly called Mormons, and as such head the
Mormons look to krai, and to him alone, for the
law by which they are to be governed ; therefore
no law of Congress is by them considered binding
in any manner.
“Secondly, I know that there is a secret, oath
bound organization among all the male members
of the church, to acknow ledge no law save the law
f the “holy priesthood,” which comes to the peo-
!e through Brigham Young, direct from God, he,
I Young, being the vicegi rent of God ami prophet.c
successor of Joseph Smith, who was the founder
of this blind and treasonable organization.
“Thirdly. 1 am fully aware that there is a set of
men set apart by special order of the church to
take both tbe lives and property of persons who
may question tbe authority of the Church, (the
names of w hom I will prymptly make known at a
future time.
“Fourthly, That the records, papers,&c., of the
Supreme Court have been destro}ed by order ofthe
church, with the direct knowledge and approbation
of Gov. Brigham Young, and the federal officers
grossly insulted for presuming to raise a single
question about tiie treasonable act.
“Fifthly, That tbe federal officers of the Terri
tory are constantly insulted, harrassed and annoy
ed by the Mormons, and lor those insults there is
no rt dress.
“Sixthly, That the federal officers are daily com
pelled to hear the form of the American govi rn-
meut traduced, tbe chief executives of the nation,
both living and dead, slandered and abus' d from
the masses, as well as from loading members of
the church, in the most vulgar, loathsome and
w icked manner that the evil passions of man can
possibly conceive.”
Now, in the above catalogue of crimes, inclu
ding robbery, treason and murder, it does seem to
us that tliete is sufficient ground for interference
on the pait of the Unit d .States Government
without that government's troubling itself about
Mormon poh gamy. Let it punish and suppress
these crimes, and let the Mormons take care ol
their wives.
It is strange that Harper and other journals
should struggle so hard for some "ground upon
principle” lor w hich to punish the atrocities ot
the Latter-Day (feints, w hen such a long and dark
catalogue of crimes ou the part ot these knaves
and fanatics, is so patent beturc them. They are
looking off' a thousand miles for the truth, when it
lii s right under their noses
Dr. Doright had a son whom he called Jack.
To this son he one day gave five dollars, and told
him he might spend it as lie pleased. Jack, know
ing that Itis fattier had a peculiar idiosyucraey of
ping Iris word to the exact letter, and being
a d. al inclined towards mischief, laid out a part
ot his money in whiskey, and, going home, began
to give the ardent spirits to liis father's staves,
who soon grt w drunk, boisterous, and unruly.
When the old Doctor expostulated with Iris son
for this course of conduct, Jack reminded him that
he had promised that he migiit spend his money as
he pleased, and he had pleased to spend it buying
liquor to make the negroes drunk, so as to have
some fun. “True, tme!” said the old man, scratch
ing his head, and looking quite puzzled: “ 1 did
say so. Jack, and will keep my word, though you
have done very wrong, and I never intended to
give you pi rmissiou to do so.”
About the time that the negroes grew most
boisterous, and were lighting and pitching into
each other like a thousand of brick, along comes
Farmer Comiuonsence, and seeing Jack's conduct
enquired of the old Doctor why he did not punish
his son for such unruly conduct “Ah! that 1
would like to do,’’ exclaimed Doright, “if I could
only do it upon principle. But 1 told him he might
spend his money as he pleased, and he has pleased
to spend it so as to furnish my slaves with spiritu
ous liquor.”
Ah ! but,” said Cotninonsen.se, ‘“you told him
to spend his money as he pleased, hut making your
negroes ditiuk is not spending money.”
True, true,” fairly shouted the Doctor, as he
pounced like a hawk upon his eon Jack, rejoiced
to find he could thus act upon principle, and gave
the boy a most unmerciful beating lor his evil con
duct.
Harper wishes to beat the Mormons, but does
not wish to interfere with religious freedom, and
local sovereignty. Let it remember that neither
the one nor the other can sanction robbery, trea
son and inuider, forbidden alike by the laws of
God, and the laws of the United State*. And it
may now r- call the error upon which the article
wo are criticising is based, and be consoled that
the Mormons may be chastised to its heart’s con
tent, without ever interfering with their polygamy,
and religion.
We did so. Pretty soon we beard ftom the
bush where M was concealed a noise as if coming
i'i.,m a large owl. on-cono d there The noise w as,
*“ euo-hoo IsiO—boo—huo-hoo—hoo ■ Immediately
upon hearing this souud, the war-cry of a crow
broke upon our ear. Crows have a mortal en
mity against the owl, especially in breeding sea
son, for then they are afraid of depredations by tbe
bird of wisdom upon their nests. No sooner had
the first crow souuded the alarm, than he was
joined by four others, who, with the first, came
sweeping through the trees, eager for the coming
fray.
Again the sound is heard from the hush, which
so enraged the dark-wiuged hell-hounds o( the
air, that are about to unleash upon the hated
quarry.
At this the crows grow fiercer in their wrath,
and round the haw-thorn do they fly, uttering
their harsh cries with more vehemence as they near
the object of their vengeance. Soon one alights
upon a tree near the haw-thorn, bang goes M's.
gun. and down tails a crow The others fly off iu
affright.
Now, the sound which mimics the voice of the
owl so well, is made by M , by blowing in a pe
culiar manner into his fists. He has secured one
crow by his stratagem, and now he proceeds to
load his empty barreL This done, he imitates the
cry of the owl again, and again the crows rush to
the spot, sounding with renewed vigor the blasts
of war. Another one lights near M., and a second
shot throws him within tvio feet of his dead com
panion. A third time is the same manceuvering
gone through with, and a third time does a crow
bite the dust.
M. mimics the owl agaiu. and again do the two
remaining crows sound their war-cry. But they
are not so gallant in their charge as at first. They
fly round and rnuud the scene of battle, flapping
their dusky wings in rage, as they caw forth their
inward wrath. But they keep at a respectful dis
tance, and after many flights around the haw-thorn
from afar off. they at last bid a final adieu to the
scene of action, and the fallen heroes who entered
the fight with them. It was a brave fight made by
those crows. In charging the masked battery of
their foe they left more than half their numbers
dead upon the field. The grim warrior who.had
won the day, stepped forward from bis ambush,
secured the scalps of his victims, and placed them
upon his string to be exhibited as trophies of war
a: some future pow-wow of veteran crow-killers.

We were fortunate enough, a few days ago, to
have had placed in our possession a specimen of
the.above rare and beautiful bird. A gentleman
who was in the woods hunting had his attention
attracted by the splendid plumage of tbe bird,
and knowing our fondness for ornithological pur
suits, shot and brought him to us. AVe do not
know when we have been so much gratified as we
were at discovering this fine species of bird in
Putnam county. We have made birds a study
ever since we were a child, and we have never be
fore seen or heard of the Rose-breasted Grosbeak
in the county w here we were born and raised, and
now reside.
The bird which we are describing takes his
name from the beautiful and delicate rose color
of his breast, and sides, and from the large size of
bis beak. He is ranked in the “family” of Erin-
giOintc, or Finches, “section” coccohoms, by Au
dubon, who calls him coccohoms Ludoriciunus.
The Rose Ineasted Grosbeak, besides his generic
characteristics, has the following specific peculiar-
We adopt the description of Audubon,
which we find correct upon comparing w ith it the
pecimon now before us.
“Male with the head, neck, fore part of back,
wings, and tail, black ; lower part of the tore-
neck. a portion of the breast, axillars, and lower
wing coverts, rich carmine; bind part of the back,
two bands on the wings, bases of primary quills,
tips of secondaries, and terminal half of inner
web of outer three tail-feathers, white.”
\Ye omit the description of the female, because
we have none but the male before us.
Nuttall says, “The history of this splendid song
ster is very obscure, the species being rare and ac
cidental in th" Atlantic States. The remote North
western Territories of the Union, Canada, and the
cool regions towards tbe Rocky Mountains, appear
tube the general residence ofthe Rose-breasted
Grosbeak. * * * * It is unknown
n the Southern States.” But notwithstanding
Nuttall says it is “ unknown in the Southern
States,” we see that Dr. John LeConte in his “Cat-
ologue of Birds.” arranged for “White’s Statis
tics,” mentions the bird we are writing about, as
tie to be found in this State We are also inform
ed by tbe gentleman who shot the bird for us that
it is quite common in some of the Northern,
in un ainous counties of Virginia, under the vul
gar nume of the Hick Bird ; so called from its
frequent repetition of the note Hick, as it sports
amid the trees.
Not only does this bird possess a beautiful plu
nge, but Nuttall assures us that he is a splendid
songster unsurpassed except by the Mocking-
nitti.
The gentleman who shot the bird before us, in
forms us that he found him in a large poplar, fly-
ttg from bloom to bloom, and uttering the short
prick note of hick, hick, hick! He was either
[ feeding upon the blooms themselves, or insects
which they contained, or perchance upon the
honey-dew that abounds in the large, yellow calyx
of the poplar flowers. We can imagine how a
bird of such dainty plumage should require to be
feasted upon flowers. The gentleman who shot
the Grosbeak speaks in glowing terms of the splen
did exhibition of plumage by this beautiful bird,
as he skipped from limb to limb, amid the greeu
foliage of the poplar, which was in fine contrast
with the rose-tints of onr little songster’s breast.
Wilson calls this bird Lana Rosea.—See “Nut-
talt's Land Birds,” p. 527, and “Audubon's Sy
nopsis of Birds,” p. 133.

In looking over an old newspaper not long ago,
we came across the following brilliant account of
Mr. McDuffie’s last speech iu Congress. It was
from the pen ot a correspondent of the Mobile
Herald :
“T he last time I remember seeing this distin
guished •tatesman, was on the floor of the United
States donate, during a debate on the tariff'ques
tion, in 1*46. He walked to his seat with great
d.tliculty oil account of his paralysis ; yet declined
the proffered assistance of S-vier, of Arkansas,
and John C. Calhohn, both of whom offered him
every attention. When seated, he wrote a short
note to Dixon H. Lewis, w ho immediately had
his enormous chair wheeled to the desk of Air.
McDuffie, and aided him in preparing his docu
ments and in rising to his feet. The whole cham
ber was silent in a muun nt. It might have been
deference to the bodily infirmity of the man, who
could only stand by having each elbow supported
and botli hands clasped uj»oii the head of his cane
—or it might have been in compliment to his tow
ering intellect and burning eloquence; but so it
was, and the proud flashing eye of the statesman
seemed to acknowledge this homage as his right.
His tiist few sentences were uttered in gasps, as
though he were suffering excruciating pain: hut
after he began to warm with his.subject, he became
eloquent indeed. His attack was pointed princi
pal iy against Daniel Webster, and he appeared to
pride himself on entering the lists with him, whom
lie alone deemed worthy of his steel. To describe
the graceful manner iu which he glided from pro
found argument into caustic irony, and then to
solemn invocation, surpasses my humble abilities;
but that In- enchained every heart, ear, and eye
present for more than an hour, can be testified to
by hundreds. Before closing his speech with his
last hurst of eloquence, I remember his becoming
so excited that, forgetting all his numerous mala
dies, lie removed Lis arms from their supports,
dropped his ciiue on the. floor, and stood, to the
astonishment of every body, alone and unaided ;
while th.' grace and dignity of his action could be
surpassi d by no one. As he uttered his last re
mark, Lewis, fearful of an accident, caught him in
liis arms, and fairly carried him to his seat. A
week after this incident Congress Adjourned, and
Mr. McDuffie never afterwards visited Washing
ton City.”

of 657,000 souls, no less than “950,000 have no
other means of subsistence than bogging, or eat
ing the unpalatable bread made from the bark of
trees. The mortality is consequently very great,
and daily ou the increase, as the famine typus has
broken out with greac malignity. The distress is
such that children have been seen, who, for want

success. It is within our own knowledge, that an
immense amount of suffering has been relieved by
it. Its proprietors save no pains or expense in or
der to satisfy the public. Being strictly honorable
men, they observe the utmost uniformity in the
manufacture ol their celebrated Pain Killer. Tho
materials of which it is composed are carefully se
lected—none hut the best being used. By these
means the high reputation which the Pain Killer
has long since acquired, is at all times sustained.

toms ofdisoase, a disease which iu a great majority
of eases, is in the mucus membrane of the Stomach,
and to this membrane should remedial treatment
be directed, that tho cause may bo removed, and
w ith it the prostration of system.
It is very frequently asked, How long must I
take the Remedy? llow long will it take to cure
me? These are very hard questions to answer;
for the duration of treatment will depend very
much upon the patient—her temperament, Condi
lion, and state of the system. It should be re
membered by every female that the disease which
they look upon as “general debility” and pros
tration ofthe powers of the system, has been grow
ing upon them perhaps for years, and of course
tune must be allowed for the system to groic back
ugain into a state of health. The system, under
the influence of this Remedy, will very soon re
cruit itself; but miraculous cures must not be
looked for, even if itis Bliss' Dyspeptic Remedy
they are taking. It would be too much to
expect of this or any other Remedy, that a
disease which has been growing upou the pa
tient and taking deeper and deeper root in
to the system, year after year, shall be cur
ed in a few days, or even in a few weeks. Al
though its good eff-cH will be experienced inn
very short time, yet ti e restoration to health is
always a slow and gradual process, for an entire
change has to he wrought throughout the whole
system—the impoverished blood must be improv
ed both in quality and quantity—all suppressed
and deficient secretions restored—t.<ue, strength
and vigor given to the muscular system—the nerv
ous sy stem braced up; and to bring about all these
changes, not only a good remedial agent must be
made use of, but time must necessarily be had
for tiie system to bring about such great aud im
portant changes. E<-t these facts he remembered
by all patients, whether they tuke Bliss’ Dyspep
tic Remedy or any other pieparation—let it he re
membered that time is absolutely necessary to the
system iu bringing about so much change, and
the restoration to health. Let it also he remem
bered in the taking of this Remedy that there
should be a perseverence and regularity, and as
much ofthe auxiliary treatment carried out as
circumstances will admit of. If tiiis is done, the
patient may rest assured that there will be a
gradual and steady improvement; the dob lity and
prostration, aud the whole category of little pains
and aches, pains in the back, loins, face, head,
Ac., w ill ail gradually subside.
I am very frequently inquired of whether it
would not be well to take some of the prepara
tions of iron in conjunction with the Remedy.
No; take nothing, for you need nothing else; and
besides, the preparations of iron, bismuth, Ac.,
wonld, in a great many cases, produce only an
additional irritation of the stomach, the very thing
that you are trying to get rid of; and not only
this, those preparations would do no good, for they
would not he taken into the circulation from the
closed state of the mouths of the lactael vessels,
which 1 have already described iu my previous ad
vertisements. In conclusion, let me once more
assure every female, that by a steady and perse
vering taking ofthe Remedy, she may haveevety
hope of recovery; hut unless, wiien its use is
commenced, there be a determination to take it
regularly, 1 would not advise the trial of it, as
neither the proprietor, nor those having it for sale.

The crows have been unusually mischievous,
pulling up the corn this Spring. The oilier day
Mr. M. called to spend a day or two with us, and
as we had heard of his extraordinary exploits in
killing crows, we suggested that his services in
that line would be acceptable upon our farm. Ac
cordingly, after we had gotten our dinner, oft’ we
took a stroll into the w oods, attended by a double
barreled gun, and tbe proper ammunition. Arri
ved in the woods. M. said:
“Now I will get under this thick haw-thorn
bush, and you go and conceal yourself behind that
big pine.'

who have been taught to believe that there is no

the following statement. Reuben 44'ithers, late of
Brooklyn, aud now residing at Marysville, Cali
fornia, was for several months treated secuitdem or
ient, by two physicians, for what they pronounced
to be a cancerous tumor on the left breast. Final
ly, they recommended excision, but the patient
having heard much of tbe efficacy of Holloway’s
Ointment, in such cases, resolved to try iis effects
before submitting liis flesh to the steel. He used
it in coufoimity u i h the directions for two months,
at tbe end of which time the lump had entirely
disappeared, and up to the date of his leaving for
Sun Francisco, in August last, an interval of four
teen weeks, no symptoms of its re-appearance
could be discovered". The Bills are equally effica
cious in all internal diseases.
