Seward’s Election.
* For a long time previous to tne olection of
Seward to the United States Senate, the cry
was heralded throughout the country, by the
presses opposed to the American Party, that if
Seward wore elected, it would be by virtue of
the Know Nothing vote. A brief investigation
of theta, will be sufficient to demonstrate the
foalley of such a statement The New York
Hoose of Representatives consists of 128 mem*
hers. When the election of Seward occurred
-only 104 of these were present; the remaining
24, most of them, were ?o(\ Democrats and Bo
gus Know Nothings, who had pledged tbem-
* selves to vote against Seward, and at- the same
time had pledged themselves to vote in hi* hi-
vor if a second ballot were necessary. Like
cowards, they absented themselves from their
post, and the notorious Abolitionist is again in
office for the six years to come.
The vute in the House stood as follows:

already attained.
Oar naval power being superior to that of

The acquisition of Cuba could not be effected
except by expending large amounts to increase
our naval fore*, thro bringing an enormous tax
upon o«ar country, and when the acquisition
should be effected ft would serve to weaken our
nation in a military.point of view, rather than
strengthen it- A compact nation Is more Im
pregnable than any other, ** an exemplification
e f which fact, Russia might be cited as an in-,
stance. We are now in the position of .Russia,
Iratgire us colonics, and we are only rendered
the more vulnerable .(hereby; Yhe United
States might be bcuefitied commercially by the
acquisition of Cuba, but such an advantage Is
more than coantcracted, by many evils that
would necessarily ensue. ■ ’a
As a means of promoting the interest of the
South it would be quite, if not entirely, ineffi
cient. —People would not resort to Cuba for
the purpose of purchasing land. The island is
already so thickly settled as to render such an
idea paradoxical. Tts area In square miles is
equal to that of Tennessee, with a population
doable tbit of the « me Ste'e
As apolitical community, Cuba could not
of much benefit to the Sooth.
Her people are ignorant of the machinery,
and the workings of Republican Governments.
They hare always lived trader a despotism.
They are totally incapable of self-government.
It is not likely (hey would fall under the dom
ination of American influence. The density
•f the population of Cuba, is such as to debar
fenafentiaa to a great extent. Again Cuba
•mold set be reliable as a slave community.
Its population is eotaposed of Mexicans Creoles
and free Negroes. The Creoles and free Xe-
groe* are nponabont an eqq»l footing. Of the
L-uter class, there am in the island 200,000, an
> which forbodes the most fearful conse-
to the Institutionof Slavery. It may
long before, In imitation of the free Ne-
of St. Domingo they will rise, and revo-
the whole island. This Is the more to
be feared inasmuch as in Cuba they are enrolled
in the army and instructed in military tactics.
The slave population are mostly of African
nativity; uncivilized, unbnmanizcd and un-
ebristianixed. They could not be relied upon,
like our ilaresfiarfidelity. They have the lejal
right once * year to hunt a purchaser,—to buy
themselves either in whole, or in part, thus to
become free for a portion of the year. Every
toother before her ebild is born has the right,
on paying $25 to bare her offspring declared
free. The importation of a majority of the
l| si tv I* in the iriand, has occurred sinee the
treaty of 1317 between England and Spain,
abolishing the slave trade- "If Cuba were di
rectly annexed from Spain, without an inter
mediate state of separate independence in which
*nasr fundamental law could be passed” the
abolitionists would bare an opportunity of can
sing immense trouble.
The white population of Cuba amounts to
about COO,000 wfaoeennot be relied upon to pro
tect the interests of slavery. The emigration
from tbe North would neutralize that from the
Fouth, and the perpetuity of slavery therefore
would depend mostly upbn the Creoles, an in
ferior rsee of people amongst whom there 8 s
already a strong tendency to emancipation.
The phiksopby of African slavery consists in
the superiority of the white race: where this
superiority is wanting (as It is in this Instance}
there is no basis lor tbe institution to rcstnpon.
With the foregoing considerations in view, it

question of non-intervention
There are in the Senate 32 members, of whom
9 absented themselves on the day of election.
They also, were Administration Democrats and
bog** Know Nothings, and had pledged them
selves, if they voted stall, to vote*against Sew
ard, bnt at the mime time knew that their ab
sence would ensure bis election. The rote in
theffenste stood at follows:
IFfity. K.N. Dem. Total
Seward 13 5 0 IS
Dickinson 0 0 5 (hard) 5

Thus It will be seen that out of I2S rotes east
in both nouses only 12 Know Nothings voted
for Seward, and these even, do not belong to
the national party of that order. With such
facts before ns we may well consider the Know
Nothings exculpated from tbe charge of aiding
in the election of Seward. Had the absentees
been present, -and acted an honorable part in
carrying out their pledges, Seward would have
been defeated.
Tbe Temperance Convention.
On Thursday next delegates from various sec
tions ofthe State are to meet in Atlanta for the
purpose of nominating a successor to the Hon.
H. Y. Jon.\-sos for the Gubernatorial chair. .
As much as we approve of the principles by
which the Temperance Association are actus**
ted, we sincerely hope they may not bo too
hasty in bringing a candidate before the peo
ple. We are not yet prepared to believe that
a man can be elected Governor on the Temper
ance issue alone. An attempt to consummate
such an aim would be premature at this time,
and perhaps detrimental' to the future inter
ests of the association. Many of those who
lead lives of strict sobriety, and devote their
time, their talents and their money to the pro
motion of this good'eanse, would hesitate to vote
for legislation in its favor. It is oar impres
sion thatthe temperance people of the State
.could not make.jsp . favorable a demonstration
in their behalf next fall, as they eonld have done
two years sinceo In Venturing this opiniop,
however, we do not profess to be guided by sn
absolute knowledge of facts. The subject of
Temperance in Georgia for the year past seems
to have been comparatively in a quiescent state.
There has been less talking, less writing, less
public speaking upon that topie. Many Or
ganizations have? died out entirely, more have
dimimshedin membership, and few new ones
have been instituted. Yet, the order is capa
ble of polling alaige vote, and while it might
suffer from defeat by isolating itself from all
other parties,it undoubtedly'would ensure avicto-
ry to that party with whieh it might coalesce. It
would, by no means, surprise us if the Conven
tion in Atlanta adjourned withoht taking final
action. Unfortunately, it was convoked at too
early a period. As tbe "Sons of Temperance”
and “Knights of Jericho” are secret associa
tions, they may, perhaps, in exemplification of
the old adage, “birds of one feather flock to
gether” from a coalition with the Know Noth
ings ; yet, we are ignorant whether there be
any mod at operand i by which such a fusion
eonld be effected.
The Bachelor from whoso Purt-Folio the fol
lowing verses were purloined, will, we trust,
excuse ns for giving them publicity.

French Spoilation Bill.—The history of
Ah is bill is somewhat singular, it has se£ral
times bedh before Congress and passed b th
houses in different sessions daring the last fif
ty years. In one session if passed both bouses
and was vetoed by by President Polk. It in
volves an express promise on the part of onr
government, under the solemnity of a treaty
with France, made in 1800, to onr citizens *to
pay for French spoliations, made from 1773 to
1798, and which the French acknowledged to
be dne. Onr government assumed the debt in
consideration of being released from the trea
ty obligation of 1787. This is one of the most
important bills tba£ has been before the pres

though long delayed, may bg meted out to an

Interesting to Farmers,
During the great scarcity of Stock-feed, which
now so generally prevails,-it is highly desirable
that every effort should be mado by the farming
community, not only to economise what food is
already made and housed, but they should also
inako evciy endeavor to fill up the deficiency
by growing crops of Early Dutton Corn. This
variety of Corn is of Canadian origin, and is
very extensively cultivated in the Geneseo Val
ley of New York, where it is esteemed the best
and most productive variety known. The ad
vantage of a crop of early corn, say three or four
acres, ns food for stock during the Summer
months, will be appreciated lyr all intelligent
fhrmers.
While providing liberally for the sustenance
of their stock, our (arming friends should^ not
forget the wants of their families and Negroes.
Bacon and corn are scarce and high, and as the
deficiency of these two great staples can only be
supplied by a good garden, every fhmtiy should
see to it that they till the soil well and plant an
abundant crop of staple garden vegetables, sneh
as Cabbage, Turnips, Beets, English Peas, Beans
of all kinds, Onions, Ac., Ac. Plant; also doa
ble your usual quantity of Sweet Potatoes. The
best variety of potatoes known is the White
Hay tie Yam, recently introduced into this coun
try; next to these, in desirable quality, comes
the Red Mexican Yams. *
Onr friend Battev, at the Drug Store, under
the Choice Hotel, has kindly consented to fur
nish Farmers and Gardners with anything they
may desire in the way of seed at exceedingly
moderate prices
We are informed he has on hand the Yellow
Dutton Corn by the quart or bushel, also a lim
ited quantity of White Haytie and Red Mexi
can Yams, together with a large assortment of
Garden Seeds of every kind.
The Fulton House:—As will be seen by

A VALENTINE TO MARY.
The birds of the forest are sportive and gay,
And thus they should be for ’tis Valentines day.
Oh ! how they do carol and manifest love,
The Robin for Robin, tho Dove for tbe Dove,
The Blue Jay is singing a song for bis dear
That hills as a balm on her listening ear;
The Partridge discovers his fair by the hedge,
And eagerly hastens to offer a pledge ;
Each couple is telling a rnptuous tale,
Or flitting in ecstacy over the vale.
I realize now my disconsolate state,
And sigh with agrief-hnrdenedheartformy mate
Long, long have I tired amongst beauty and
bloom,
Unhlest by her presence—a subject of gloom—
Nor can I predict that affection’s sweet smile
Will ever in fatore my sadness beguile.
Thou 1 thou art tbe Prophetess who can foretell
And cause my lone bosom with rapture to swell,
Then speak to me Mary, speak, speak and be
mine,
And I’ll'pledge the that I will ever he thine.
I stand by thy dome hut thy form is not here,
No kind one to greet me to-day doth appear,
No Mart to wander with me through the grove
And cheer me by warbling the cadence of love.
The evergreens sigh as they bend the to blast
As if they were mourning with me for the past.
Sffeet flowers that bloomed in the deep sum
mer shade,
To gladden thy heart have all drooped and
decayed,
Thy absence has mantled thy home with despair,
And burdened my spirit with sorrow and
care.

This was the fovorite sabjectof that sagapion ■
Roman, whose philosophy, even at this day >
surprises us on account of Us singular wisdom
and almost perfect conformity to tbe moral and
physical wants ofoarnature. It breathes a spir*
it that teaches the necessity of a cheerful ac
quiescence in all the allotments of providence.
It frowns upon that habit of character which
invests everything in tbe future with doubt
and uncertainty. Tbe wise and mirthful
Roman took tho world easy and was nev
er out of humor even when exposing, with
merciless severity, the different weaknesses of
his fellow men.
To laugh at adversity is the fault of tbe school
of norace. To hear up against it with courage,
and to derive from it the proper lessons, is the
height of hujman «risdom-*-bat to become dis
heartened is the sheerest folly, for life isjnot sub
jected necessarily, to misery. It has a great
deal of sunshine, bright, clear, and healthful,
when it is spent as its great Author intended it,
If its errors arc boyond remedy, its future al
lows us time to profit from them. This can bo
done; and the unfortunate man has - but to set
to work, in tbe right way, in order to he happy
and successful. Despondency will only striko
him lower, and shroud in impenetrable gloom,
the pleasing prospect that is nearly before him.
Let him struggle on, and be patient, and ere
long the goal will come id view. The dust and
heat will bo forgotten in the happy eonacions-
ness that the victory has been won.
Thereti something of the morally sublime in
tho eonduet of tho man who never yields to tbe
sodaeoidents that sometimes seem to attend life.
To too him—hope after hope, expectation after
expectation blasted—overy thing contrary to
Ills wishes, still contending, still pressing on,
betokens, a character of tbo purest gold. How
steadily and courageously does he move for
ward, turning neither to tho right nor left, hot
fhctng all of his difficulties with the stubborn
resolution of overcoming them ! If he foils ho
rises undaunted, and fights on till snceess re
wards him fat bis labors. This is the wisdom
that rids life of its bitterness and sheds upon
its futore, inextinguishable light. This is tho
real magic that exorcises despair.
But the other side of tho picture, how differ
ent 1 There we find a man sorrowful, despon
dent, emasculated of all energy / and bewailing
his bard fote. In the mire begging Hercules
to assist him, wijhont an effort to help himself.
There is np future for him. His imagination
has pictured it full of difficulties, and pregnant
with impending disasters. Poor fellow! He
sinks down and dies broken hearted when faith
and coarago would have carried him to tho sum
mit of the hill!
' In fine, there is no good reason for tbe nnsuo-
ccssful to despair. The world spreads out be
fore him, and invitingly demands nothing that
is impossible. It has its vexations, bat they
can be avoided, or, at least, borne. If the
clonds darken, and difficulty threaten, the
Roman bard says :
Quociren vivite forth,
Fortiaque advert it opponite peetora rebut.

York, has declared that his party bad dono their
utmost to defeat Seward.
IfST'Tr is A fact, that tho most prominent
Abolition Newspapers in New York, such os
the Albany Journal and N. Y. Tribune, are ar
rayed in deadly hostility to the 80 called Order
of Know Nothings, and that tho impossibility
of using the Order to promote tbe political views
of their Magnut Apollo, Wm. H. Seward, has
given rise to a spurious Organization, which,
though regarded by us as a “ small potatoo”
affair, created, fora time, serious apprehonsions
of a split in New York.
pST'lr is a fact, that tho New York Journal
of Commcrco, a paper of Democratic tenden
cies has volunteered the following paragraph in
defenco of the Know'Nothings of that State:
“ And here wo wish to say a'word in justice
to the Know Nothings of tho State,—and the
rather, because' in somo other States tho Order
havoshown themselves to be closely allied with
the Abolitionists. In addition to the evidence
have afforded, the Know Nothing candidate for
Governor of this State at the last November
election, was Mr. Ullman, who in 1852 was sup*
ported by the Castle Garden Union Safety Com
mittee for the office of Attorney General. Bat
the strongest fact we have to mention is, that
the only throe members of Congress elected in
this State specially by the Know Nothings, are
believed to be all in favor of the Nebraska Bill,
or at any rate, opposed to its repeal. They are
Mr. Valk of Queens county, Mr. Williams, of
Monroe county and Mr. Edwards, of the Cha-
tauque district. The last is stated by a paper
published in his district, to he a Nebraska
Whig.”
is A fact, that the New York Tri.
bune, in commenting upon the abovo para
graph from the “'Journal of Commerce” thus
denouccs it:
“The claims ot the New York Know Noth
ings to be A NATIONAL AND NIGGER CATCAING
party, are thus cordially recognized by that
organ and pillar of kidnapping and British
Free trade, thd Journal of Commerce.
And finally, it is a ttubbom fact, that such
Abolitionists os Seward, Chase and Spmmeg,
have been elected to tho Senate of the United
States, long before tbe. Hnow Nothing Organi
zation was heard of, aye elected, Eome of them
by a fusion between the Democrats and Froe-
Soilers. Ergo, the Democratic prints who are
now denouncing the ‘ Know Nothings” for not
preventing the election of Seward and Wilson,
would do well to pull the beam out of their own
eyes that they may see better how to pull the
mote out of their brothers’ eyes.— Geo. Citiznn.
Rnov-Xcthings In Vortb Carolina.
A very intelligent correspondent of the New
York express, travelling at the South, writes as
follows :
In Ralei h I found the.Legislature in session,
and a finer body of mon I never saw, both in
the^House and Senate. Kenneth Rayner is one
of tbo leading men of the Senate, and fs highly
popular iu both branches. I listened to a very
eloquent speech from this Senator, in behalf of
a btll contributing to the erection of a monu
ment on Independence Square Philadelphia—
a measure adopted by many ofthe States alrea
dy. This bill passed the Senate at the close
ofthe speech, unanimously, but fears ore en
tertained of its defeat in the House. A myste
rious power is on the wing here ; indeed, Ameri-
canism is contagious. I find the foot-prints of*
“Sam in every quarter, on the walks, and other
places, and hois such an important personage,
no one questions his authority to-do pretty
much as he pleases. He is a favorite “at
court,” for I saw him shaking hands with most
every member ofthe Legislature. He is by far
the most popular indivdual this side of Mt. Ver
non. Let it go forth to the world, here this
gentleman can be found in any one ef his strong
holds.

PARTIES—Tbe Liquor Question.
‘It must be apparent to every one who is ob
servant of the signs of the times, that the ques
tion of prohibiting by law tbe sale of ardent
spirits will become prominent in the next politi
cal contest. We have no desire to sit in judg
ment upon the will of the people, or to dictate a
policy for them to pursue. We have so much
confidence in the intelligence and patriotism of
our fellow citizens, that we can cheerfully, con
fide to their discretion any subject of pablie in
terest, with tbe fall assurance that whatever'»
majority may determine upon as best, will hard
ly fall short of being good. With proper defer
ence, then to tbe opinions of others,we would,
suggest, in view of the many considerations that
will necessarily interpose as barriers to a fair
exposition of popular sentiment on the' liquor
question in the coming elections, that it be made
a distinct and outside issue, untrammeled by
party or personal preferences. To do this, we
ore of opinion that it is only necessary for the
voter to endorse upon histicket, “Prohibition,”
or ‘No Prohibition,’ in accordance with his con
scientious convictions of right, and that it- ho
understood as obligatory upon our Governor
and representatives to regard the wishes of the
majority os so expressed. We are in favor of
temperance, and think such a coarse would se
cure a larger vote on the side of reform, than
any that has yet been suggested. Party prej
udice and personal predilections, in elections,
not nnfreqnently out-weigh all other considera
tions, and many persons who would cheerfully
give their votes their influence upon the side
of temperance, could it Le entirely separated
from other issues, might be induced to wield
an opposite influence if other interests are in
volved. We are conscious of no objection that
can be urged by the friends of temperance to
this phurof determining (ho popular will upon
this subject, nor can the anti-temperance party
justly deny the right of a majority of the peo
pie (if that majority be in favor of prohibition)
to an expression and. confirmation of their
wishes. ‘
Our remarks are merely suggestive, and we
would bei pleased to see tbe subject discussed
generally. ’ Let the people make their nomina
tions, irrespective of the temperance question,
further than to pledge their candidates to abide
by tbe decision'of tbe majority as endorsed up
on tbe tickets, of ‘Prohibition,’ o^‘Xo Prohibi
tion.”—American Union.
Tbe New York Post announces upon “pretty
high authority” that the Kinney Expedition has
been projected for the purpose of establishing a
convenient basis for future operations against
Cuba. The new territory, it is thought, may
form a convenient rendezvous for vessels to be
fitted out and equipped for the invasion of any
neighboring territory, wit-‘ out fear of violating
any treaty stipulations or encountering any of
the embarrassments which have spoiled so ma
ny filibustering expeditions from the. United
States within the last five years.

smallest'in the Southern, being 1,86. The a-
mount of personal propurty brought by foreign*
era to the United States cannot do accurately
estimated; but, taking the calculations of tbe
English Commissioners of Emigration, it is set
down at 321,664,489 for the last six years.—

Negro Stealing.—We understand that a man
giving bfo namo os Vickner, but whose real
name is Poole,' was arrested in this city yester
day and lodged in’the calaboose, for negro steal
ing. Poole had stopped at one of the hotels,
registering his assumed name,'but luckily a for
mer keeper of the Alabama penitentiary was
stopping at tbo same house and recognized,
Poole, at once, as one of his old boarders. lie
had with him, when arrested, a negro man and
woman and is supposed to have other stolen
negroes secreted in the vicinity.—Atlanta In-

TnE Administration and its Friends.—The
Sentinel, one of theDemocratie.organsat Wash
ington, and whose proprietor is printer to the
Senate/ comments upon “the change*’ which has'
taken place in the views of the Administration
in regardto. Cuba and our relations with Spain.
“To aho#* the process of transformation,” it
makes extracts from tbe messsges of President
at different .periods in tbe last year, and then
proceeds to remark is follows r
“The first message from which we have quo
ted is bellicose, and requires promptitude of de
cision on (he part of Spain. It speaks of the
‘Black Warrior’outrage; ‘many other instances
of aggression upon onr commerce, and insults
to tbe National flag-by the Spanish authorities
in Cuba.’ It declares that the ‘seizure of the
Block Warrior’ presents so clear a case of wrong
that it would be reasonable to expect full in
demnity therefore at toon at ihit unjustifiable
and offensive conduit shall be made known to
Ifer Catholic Majesty.*
“The second message, from which we have
quoted very mildly states that the outrage, ag
gressions, insnlts inflicted upon us by Spain,
are still nnatoned for. -
The third'expresses the pious hope that the
present government will be more favorably in
clined than the preceding to comply with -our
just demands.

A Snake Ejected from a Man’s Stomach.—
For some time back, says the Peterborg (Va.)
Express, a gentleman named Harrison Tyler
on a visit, made to a friend in the neighborhood
of Reedy Creek, near Cox’s road, felt at certain
hours' a choking or suffocating symptom, as
if sometbing was being forced up his throat
This was .attended with pain and restlessness;
indeed, be seemed as if going off suddenly into
a consumption, and puzzled both the friendly
and the medical faculty to know what ailed him.
When this suffocating sensation'eame on, Mr.
Wado-ftlt always as if he had an uneasy load
on his stomach, which, as he fancied, if remo
ved, would cure him; so he resolved to try the
merits of an almighty powerful emetic on his
constitution, in order to bring forth whatever
was bad in him!
The remedy he made use of was very near
giving him a quietus in more ways than one.
for it nearly turned the snake-laden gentleman
inside out completely. After very violent spas--
modio workings and retchings, a small milky-
colored snake leaped from his throat, and seem
ed most thunder-struck at finding itself in
broad daylight, and suddenly transferred so
unceremoniously into a cold temperature. ■
Tho snake was Almost transparent, had red
dish eyes of great brilliancy, and was five and.
a quarter inches long. It made sundry efforts to
turn a few lofty somcraots, protruded its sting,
and, as if in agony of grief an ejectment by
such a method (which can only find.its equal in
Ireland between landlord and tenant) from snug
quarters, the small snake died. We assisted at
tts interment into a bottle of alehohol, (exouse
the bull) and noted the whole affair down as
something very, uncommon.
Mr. Wade, during.Iast summer, while out in
the fields, used frequontijr to slake his shirt at
rivulets and creeks, and may then, have swal
lowed the snake when it was of very small di.
mansions. He ceriainly felt considerably re*-
lieved after having got rid of tho creature,
which he prefers keeping in a bottle much bet
ter than ia himself.
To make hens lay perpetually, hit them on
the head with a big club. Other means have
been recomtnehded, but this is the only one we
have found effectual. „

which,“forthe more general diffusion of the
