••Think no put needful tkat demands a knave.
Mn. Coarwt.'—Tke Editor of the Southor-
- ner devotes a considerable space to “Aristides”
in his issue of.the. 19t^ last. The article has
- rather more than the usual amount of editorial
dieeagennonsneu; and folia for below what
• “Aristides" had conceived of the Editor’s char
r-ter for candor and fair dealing. Whether
".xristides" is, or is nets democrat, is of little
cease queue*, sines the circumstance cannot af-
ftetthe intrinsic merit of his risers. He is duly
thankful for the high rank he-may have held
lath# Editor’s mind as one posseesingsuch «t-
firv fitness, that be wms prepared to sustain his
damn to the utmost, if nominated for Congress.
"Aristide*" is opposed to the doctrine of availa
bility as enunciated in bis paper of the 5th
inst*and ]ong .practiced in .this part of the
State.’ He is opposed to the present corrupt
organisation in common with many others, he*
canee it has given over the control of the party
t» demagogues and tricksters, who have shame-
folly trifled with the popular wOL “Aristide*”
ewes a* allegiance to tad an organisation. He
has no rupee* for it, or any other which
may bo prostituted to the vflo purposes of
irwUrng politicians, and wrests from the peo
ple all chance of selecting their own candidates.
He who labors to reform these abuses, will, of
ouurao, encounter the fierce hosUEtes of the
patftiealpriesthood, now in power, and all their
tools. “Aristides” defies the whole jack. Ha
knows them weft. They are corrupt. As a
class, they are
en, who think nought so strong of the ro-
_ bt-errant, as a real friend ;
t would blush at being thought sincere,
And feign, fte^oqr, the few fealte they want;
^Drained to the warid, in hm£d£iid falsehood
^ttTght ’
All their keen pnrpose, in politeness sheath’d
Tour friends eternal— daring interest;
Year foes implacable—when worth their while,
At war with every wel&re, bet their owe;
Am wise as Lucifer, and half as good.”
. If these sentiments forfeit the good opinion
of tbs Editor, “Aristides” will aoqofesee in ths
mirfortuee as cheerfully as he may. The edi
tor is free to pursue his own course. Ho will
foil to swerve Aristides by a hair’s breadth
from his. He will stoop to no mean compliance
to win the favor of individuals or parties.
Rot all who have the presumption to give ad
vice,have the good tense necessary to make it
valuable. Aristides will no more, upon the ad
vice of the Editor, swear away his liberty of
conscience and action around the altar of the
Know Nothings, than ho will surrender them,
at his dictation, to the political priests who
mhiisteredsf^thepi'gk altar of svailibflity. If he
were serriZe enough to obey his dictation, or
mean enough to act upon his advice, he would
hardly expect to find the Knew Nothings worse
masters, laying heavierjberthens upon his erm-
■eianee, or more grievous restrictions upon his
freedom of action, than those into whose ser
vice the Editor would drive him. Bo much for
the Editor’s unsolicited advice.
He errs more gravely when he asserts that
Aristides “was more indfgnantal the supposed
author of the Southerner’s article than at the
principles enunciated in it”—and that his ob
ject was to make the supposed author bis “vic
tim.” note his victim ? Roman has a war
rant to invade the sanctuary of bis neighbor’s
bosom for'the pnrpose of imputing indirect mo
tives to bite; and while Aristides will not Im
pute to tbe Editor an intentional breach ofve-
rscity, he is bound, in justice to himself, to re
pel the charge as untrue. Aristidee is, at least,
as ianoeeut of any purpose of victimising the
euppoeedauthor, as the Editor Is above aft sus
picion of playing tbo 'sycophant in order to
propitiate tbe fovor of the eminent and popular
gentleman who, he thinks, is so able to vindi
cate bis political life.
The Southerner retorts to another trick, un
worthy of. an honorable journal, and which
would disgrace any but the nrat servile party
organ of tbe availibftity school of politicians.—
With the political ethics of that class, it may
harmonize well enough. It certainly does with
their practices.
He bss collected into one group, all the terms
of censure which “Aristides” applies to dema
gogues, caucuses and their tricks, from the
beginning to tbe end of hiseommnnication, and
given bis readers to understand in plain terms,
that “ Aristides” bad charged them “upon the
honest masses of the democracy.” “Aristides”
did not spply to tbe “ honest masses of the de
mocracy” the epiihett which the editor bss di
vorced from their connexion, to enable him
self to create that impression opon the minds
of the readers. He knows of no role of hon
orable controversy, or just critie!sm*which will
warrant such a proceeding. It Is at war with
all his ideas of wbat every honorable opponent
owes toeandorand to troth. What was tbe mo
tive f Conld It have been to victimise tbe sup
posed author of “ Aristides,” by afding his em
inent and popular leaden and fixing indellibly
upon him, the brand unavailablet It is cer
taiuly well calculated to effect that object,
whatever may baVe been Its design. It is
also attributed to him as a “fault” that “be
has foiled to make himself popular with his
party, by habitually shrinking from contact
with tlio maeseB, as if their touch were contam
inating.’’ What was tho object In penning this
paragraph? Was it to fix the brand; to “victim
ise” the supposed author by diminishing hie
chances for office, for, to keep a man out of
«Bce, is, U seems, to make him a victim f
appears, that to make a wan popular with hie
party, it is not enough for him to serve it long,
faithfully, firmly, and ably while attending to
his honest and laudable business. He must
n*a about and rub against the masses and Awat
for popularity!” If ho dout learn tho arts,
and practice tho tricks of tho demagogue, of
tho most approved model, It will bo said or in
sinuated that ho thinks their touch contain inn
ting. It he honest, is he faithfol is he capable,
used to It the sole tests of fitness for oaadidaey
Now aft these w’oat do. A man most run about
•nd vub against thu masses to get tho demo
«ratio odor. If he do’nt he'll’contract an odor
of a vety different sort. He must diligently
study, and assiduously practice all those little
arts of hypocrisy, deception, evasion, and con
cealment deemed necessary to cheat tho dear
people into the belief of the great lie that ho loves
them better than any body else! He must ab
jure aft frankness and candor, and as fatal
qualities, to which if he add plain and unob
trusive manners ho is thrice 'unfortunate, don
bly damned. No amount of moral and Intel
lectual attainments can redeem him from the
ftttal brand unavailable. He may have proved
by every act of his lift, the most ardent, nn
calculating and uuselfih devotion to his print!
pies, and his friends. Ha may have stood by
them with uasbaken constancy and firmness
through all their vicissitudes of prosperity and
adversity, of triumph and defeat, from youth
to grey hairs. Bold, energetio, and faitful, in
tho hour of conflict; modest and retiring in
that of victory, he may have demonstrated
himself a “man of tho highest merit” But
all this shall avail him nothing “before the
masses.” He is unavailable! Rex, whom he
has, perhaps, saved from ostracism, for whom
he may have voted tamo and again—whom ho
has contributed to make eminent and popular
as for as giving him office could do so, says ho
is unavailable. Supplex, Genuflex, Tenax.Vc-
rax, and Neophyte—those happy souls whom
the people love, with uplifted hands, and retro
verted eye, echo with well affected regret, the
fotal word, unavailable ! His political dam
nation is sealed. The party lash is applied by-
the party editor to whip him baok into the
ranks to labor for some “emuteni” gentleman
who has popular Moaners, and is, therefore
qualified to be “a candidate before the maseee.'
Uniform instability of opinion is a valid objoc
tion with “Aristides.” But it ought not to bo
insisted upon by those who stand prepared to
vote again as they have before; for tbe emi
nent gentleman who has been twice elected to
Congress from this District, each time by a
different party—having changed from fire-eater
to union-man, if “Aristides” is correctly in
formed, a few weeks in advance of his first e!e -
tion. His selection must bo attributed to his
abilities and high moral character in part, but
much more to tho fact that he baa suitable man
ners for u a candidate before the masses.
Here lies the root of tho whole doctrine of
availability. It nets upon a low opinion of
the maseee. It supposes thorn incapable of es
timating men by their solid qualifications and
merits. And supposing them incapable of
judging by any thing bat manners, or as at
taching undue importance to them, it stoops
to get power. Such seems to be tho opinion
of the democracy hold by one of their own
organa. “Aristides” has a better opinion of
the masses. Ho believes when they are fairly
tested, they will show these availability gentry,
that they hare under-rated their intelligence.
“Aristides” repeats the opinion that it is time
for all honest men of all parties, to fall back
behind abstract principles of polities and in
trench themselves upon abstract principles of
morals, to fight again* t political profligacy and
corruption—to root ont and exterminate this
execrable doctrine of availability, come from
what quarter so ever it may, by whomsoever
recommended or practiced.

HAPPY HOURS.
XT FREDERICK WRIGHT.
CHILDHOOD.
Happy hours! What are they ?
Childhood trundling hoops in play,
Trudging off to Mill or Mart
With his laden horse and cart, -
Or astride his father’s cane,
Prancing down the shady lane—
Now with wooden sword and shield
As a soldier takes tiie field,
Captain, Private, all in one—
Cheer the would-be hero on, »
Then in all bis sportive glee,
O’er the meadows ranging free,
la those bright and sunny hours
Reveller amid the flowers—
Who so heedless of his toil ?
Who so lavish of bis spoil ?
You may trace tbe vagrant's round
By his trophies on the ground;
Tired of earthly wandering,
Mounting op be takea a siring
On the rode old fashion’d gate.
Glad cf its unfetter'd state,
Joins bis ii ; rth with added glee
To Us creaking’ melody,
Till a shout salutes his ear,
“Harry! Harry ! have a care.”
Off be scampers to tbe stream,
Where the waters flashing gleam,
Or reflecting san and sky
Am in calm repose they lie—
8baded by the Birchen spray,
Where the Minnows love to play—
See the mimic fisher stand
With bis elender willow wand,
While a crooked pin and twine
Answer for a book and tine—
All sufficient in bis eyes
If dame Chance bestows a prize.
Lord of Brooks, of Fields and Flowers!
Childhood has its Happy Honrs !
MANHOOD.
Happy boors! what are they ?
Manhood dawning into day—
Nobler objects in tbe race—
Childish pastimes now displaco
He forsakes tbe Hoop and Ball
For the students quiet hall—
And bis late enchanting kite
Now is banished from bis sight,
Gleams of Knowledge. Seienoe rays,
Wlnncth his more ardent gaze.
Bads that charm’d faim when a child,
Now instruct—each blossom wild—
Hath a lesson—or a lay—
Pensive, Beautiful and Gay.
E’en tbe nestlings tbatbe sought,
With Youth’s eagar busy thought,
As they soar on buoyant wing
Rapture to bis bosom bring ;
Fame—gay goddess shines afar,
Seated on her gleaming car—
And with syren voice and luto
Woos him to the fond pursuit;
Honor too, and high Renown,
Hiding disappointment’s frown,
Lend s fascinating haze
To tbeir soil’d and slipp’ry ways,
Wbilo tbe sweet loved symphonies
Of young life—around him riso !
Still levesbe the sunny mead—
Still rejoicing in the shade—
Of some quiet cozy nook,
By tbe willow-shaded brook,
Or some lone sequester'd glon
Far removed from haunts of men
Yet, he Is not there—alone—
List that murmur’d voice and tone
Giving sweet response—I wcon
Life hath seldom moments seen
Dearer than those happy hours—
In Love's consecrated bowers !
AGE.
Happy boars! What are they ?
May not age tho answer say—
Are they found in cloister’d cell
Where unguidod beings dwell
To assuage their doubts and fenra.
Vigils keep mid groans and tears !
Gloomy roads to happiness,
Thus shut out from nature’s face.
Scarcely happy enn they be
fooling nurst by Bigotry!
Ask the dweller in thoMArt,
Mammon's servant head and heart,
If his traffic's gain confers
Pleasure on its worshippers T
Ask him, and his anxious brow
Caro mpresh and language low,
Will betray tho scorct then—
Watch and ward make' weary men 1
And that Joy is dearly bought
Which mid golden sands is sought.
Query of tho Rich and Groat,
Rolling in luxurious state,
Placemen, Pensioners, and Lords, -
Men of Peace and men of Swords!
Ask—and ask of those who play
Die* by night, and sleep by day,
Those who float on fashion’s tide,
Those basking on life’s shady sldo !
Ask each one »fa|l tho crow,
Who busy arc, yot nothing do—
Mark the auswer—when confost,
(Heartless laugh and bootless jest)
Answering echo—they but say
Happy hours! What are they ?
'Tis n t so with cheerful toil—
For with those whose loving smile
Soothes lift’s ligaments of pain
While their arms the weak sustain—
Deeds of Meroy, Words of truth
Give to age tho huoa of youth—
And the sacred purposo still,
To perform God's Holy Will!
Fills Life’s vase with lovely flowors !
And its years with Happy Ilotir*!
Virginia Politics.—Judge Bayly, of Virs
ginia, who is a candidate for re-election to Con
gress, has “defined his position.” lie says he
is a State’s Right’s Democrat; violently oppo
sed to the Know Nothings and all political soci
eties ; in favor of every citizen having the right
of suffrage; opposod to Henry A. Wide (who is
a relative of his) and the whole democratic Stato
ticket; against religious proscription, and ix
fovor of a reform in tbo naturalisation laws, in
order to exclude paupers and criminals from
ons shores. Mr. Wise, be allegos, never voted
for him (Judge B.) for any office, during the
eighteen years ho had been in political life.—
Mr. Wise had been the judge that the'animosity
between them bad been sufficient to preventhim
from voting for him (Judge Bayly) and he wonld
not administer such a severe rebuke as to vote
for Mr. Wise.
A SCENE AT THH GATE OF PARADISE*—A poor
tailor, being released from a troubleseme world,
and a" scolding wife, appears at the gate of
Paradise. Peter asked him if be had ever been
to Purgatory ?
“No,” said the the tailor, “I have been* mar
ried.”
“Oh!” said Peter, “that is all tbe same,”
The tailor had scarcely got in before a &t,
tnrtle-eating alderman came puffing and blow
ing.
“Holloo! yon fellow,” said he, open tbe
door.”
“Not so fast,” said Peter, “hare you ever
been to Purgatory?”
“No,” said the Alderman, “bat what is that
to the pnrpose? Yon let in that poor, half-
starved tailor, and he had been no more in Por
gatory than I.”
“But he has beer married,” said Peter.
“Married!” exclaimed the alderman, “why, I
have been married twice.”
“Then please go baok again,” said Peter.—
“Paradise is not the placo for fools.”
Simplicity of Dress.—Prentice, the Editor
of the Louisville Journal, speaks thus to his rea
ders:
“Those wbo think that; in order to dress well,
it is necessary to dress extravagantly and gaud
ily, make a great mistake. Nothing so well be
comes true femine beauty as simplicity. We
have seen many remarkably fine person robbed
of its fine effect by being over -dressed. Nothing
is more unbecoming, than overloaded beauty.—
The simplicity of the.blassic taste is seen in old,
statnes and pictures, painted by men of very
superior artistic genius. In Athens, the ladies
were not gandily bnt simply arrayed, and wo
doubt whether any laldiefe ever excited more ad
miration. So also the noble old Roman mat*
rons, whose superb forms were gazed on deligh
tedly by men worthy of them, were always very
plainly dressed. ‘Fashion often presents the
1 incs of tho butterfly, but fashion is net a classic
goddess.
Right View.—The Cincinnati Gasotte of
Friday says that itbas not heard any gontlo
man wbo voted for, or who favored the Ameri
can ticket, express himself in favor of bnviog
any of tho candidates who wore upon that tick
ot accept of the office for which bo was su
ported, if it shall appear evident upon an of
olal canvass of the votes that he.did not reoeive
a clear majority of the whole number oast. This
is tho idea, exactly—and may it ever obtain in
every city and town in onr wide spread land.—
But the Cincinnati matter is a singular one,
and ono that will bo difficult to manage. It af
fords a fine chance for the exercise of forbear*
nnoe and mutual concession. A reasonable
doubt, says tho Gazette, “may well exist whetb
er some of tho candidates on the American
ticket did,not receive a majority of votes. On
the other hand there can exist no doubt but
that a portion, at least, of the Democratic tick
ot wne elected.” Who is to deeido—who eon
decide, in such a case ? Wo await the razult
with no tittle interest. [Baltimore Patriot.
A Forethought Well Timed.—In areoent
debato in tho Legislature of Louisiana, on tho
subject of leasing or selling the Penitentiary,
one of the members from Sabino who hot here
toforo been the very antipodes of his speech
making colleague, feeling big with indignant
thonghta running through the wild wilderness
of hi* brain, rose up and said:
“Mr. Spenkor—I’m opposed to lettln any
body have tho Penitentiary but tbe State.—
There aint a man in my Parish bnt what is agin
it, and I’m agin it and shall always be agin it
What will it come to Mister Speaker? Why
we are selling tbe orime of the State. Bnt, sir,
there is other reasons why we should all bo
agin it. Tho day will come, [very much excb
ted] Mr. Speaker, when we may all be in the
Penitentiary,' And bow would we like to be hir
ed ont like niggers ?”
Tbis spfcoeh was a cl inchor and settled tbe
question. Doubtless some of the members
knew that they ought to be in the Penitentiary
and the well timed prophesy might prove - true
and they be caught at Iosl
[Montgomery Daily Journal.
The Saxos English of the Bible.—Mr.
Trench in his recent work on the English lan
guage, thus compares the Protestant version
of the Bible with the Douay or Catholic ver
sion:
“I open the Douay version at Gal. v. 10,
where the long list of the ’works of tbe flesh,'
and Trait of the spirit,’ is given. Bat what
could a mere English reader make of words
such as these: ‘impudicity,’ ‘ebrieties,’ ’longa
nimity,' all which occur in that paaage? while
onr version has for impudicity,’ ‘wantonness;
for ‘ebrieties,* ‘drunkenness;’ for “comraenssa</
tion?,’ ‘revellings;, for ‘longanimity,’ Tong-
sufforing.’ Or set over against one anothor such
phrases as these: In the Douay, ‘the exem
plars of the celestials,’ (Heb. ix., 23,) bnt in
ours, ‘the pattens of things in the heaven.’—
Or suppose if, instead of tbe words whioh tee
read at Heb. xiii, 16, namely, ‘to do good and
to communicate, forget not; for with snob sacri
fices God is well pleased’—we read as follows,
which are the words of tbe Couay. ‘Beneficence
and communication do not forget; for with such
hosts God is* promerited ?’—wbo does not feel
how great and enduring our loss would have
been, how it wonld have searched into the whole
religions life of our people, If the translation
used by them had been composed in such Lat
in English os this?”
The Swiss Pacpxrs.—Tbe following impor
tant letter from G. H. Goundie, United States
Consul at Zurich, Switzerland, relative to tbe
jaupers sent to this countiy, has been received
i»y Mayor Wood .*
United States Consulate,
Zurich, Switzerland, March 20,1855.
Dear Sib: On tbe 3d instant, I wrote to
Collector Redfield, requesting him to inform
you that Commune of Niederwyl, in the Canton
of Argovie, Switzerland, bad sent three hun
dred and twenty of her poorest persons via
Havre of the fact.
He at once entered a protest against tbeir
sailing, but the Swiss Consul at Havre, and
other persons, interfering, and they being pro
vided with a draft on tbe Swiss Consnl at New
Orleans, for fifty francs, ($10) each, (which is
here considered as sufficient to prove that they
are not destitute,) our Consul permitted them
to soil for New Orleans. All these things will
have a good tendency; and, in fact, it has done
so already, by making tbe government more
cantions to whom they grant passports.
By the foregoing yon will, therefore, see
that these persons will not land at your port,
as first intended, but are shipped for New Or
leans. Yoo may rely that if any thing of the
kind comes to my notice, I shall give you in
formation without delay.
Very respectfully, your obedient and humble
servant, G. GOUNDIE, Consul.
Mayor Wood, New York.
Senatorial Eloquence and Dionitv.—“Mr.
Dickinson. The Hindoos are infernal scamps,
sir, infernal scamps. The infernal regions are
so crowded with them that their legs stick out
of tbe windows.”— Senate Proceedings of New
York.
Hold on! Senator Dickinson! “hold on!” as
you yourself said the other day, in your own
eloquent and chaste style, “ hold on! don’t go
» fast ns to make a feller’s head swim!”
Scamp” is a bard word, Senator Dickinson,
and the “ infernal regions,” as yon call them,
cover a great deal of ground. They make np
large place, and it is entirety'clear that there
arfl vast multitudes of these same “Hindoos”
Is the world yet. They were over in Connec
ticut on r.tesday. There were 26,800 of them,
while your VTMg party counted less than 9,000,
all told. They Cote in New Hampshire lost
week, 33,000 of theirf/^ and your Whig party
counted bat 3,000. The/ were ir Vermont, a
day or two ago, 2,000 mor-'o/ them than your
Whig party could count, with the Democracy
thrown in. They smashed your boasted Whig
party to pieces, bnt a tittle while ago, over in
Massachusets, like a potter’s vessel. _ They
smashed it to pieces at the town elections in
this State, by a majority of tbe popular vote of
over 50,000. They are smashing things to
pieces in Virginia, in Kentucky, in Louisiana,
in every State, North and South. Think of
that, Senator Dickinson! There are a great
many of these “infernal scamps” left in the
world yet, Senator Dickinson*—Albany Reg.
The following lneid description of a lost btyd
appears in the form of an adrortizmentin an
exebango: “The scoundrel who took the cana
ry with a pug nose, red face, and a light over
coat, is requested to return it immediately, to
28 Willow street, as a valuable one, from whom
no questions will be oskod.
Political Influence or Aliens.—Our
great cities are crowtfed with a large foreign
boro vote. New York, Boston, Philadelphia,
Cincinnati, Baltimore, St. Louis, New Orleans,
and other large cities, often decide tbe political
contest in the several States in which they are
located—often hold tbe balance of political
power. In almost all of these largo towns this
foreign rote, bandod together, controls the mu
nicipal suffrage. Therefore, in all closely con
tested elections, foreign born votors not only
exert a powerful and Important Influence on
tbe local results, but also on Stato elections.

these remarks:

‘‘Them Ere Legs.”
A distinguished public speaker, not very
long since, illnstrated, in a conversation with
ns, tbe singular want of acquaintance, in certain
localities, with scriptural subjects and phraseo
logy, by the anecdote which we subjoin. If
the extreme ignorance of the hero did not re
lieve him from all imputation of the sort, he
wonld be considered only a coarse blasphemer;
but our informant, wbo vouches for tbe facts on
personal knowledge, declares that the case was
nothing more nor less than an exemplification
of the happy simplicity which characterizes
some of the back-woods countries of Tennes
see.
It seems that an adventurous son of the state
mentioned, born and nutared among the moun
tains, went down to the city of Memphis to
“seek bis fortune." He found, instead, a com
plaint which the Mississippi water not nnfre-
quentty generates; and which, whether it find
speedy termination in tbe cramps of cholera, or
gradually saps life in tbo chronic from, is always
to be dreaded. It was in this latter shape,' that
poor Baglet “picked it up.” And month after
month it tugged at his vitals; reducing him day
by day, until, at length, he was bnt tbe outline
of a man, a mere peripatetic skeleton.
A worthy minister marked the poor fellow and
seeing that tbe king of terrors had “spotted”
him, determined to call on bim and offer spirit
ual consolation. It never occurred to him that
the ears of any one bora in this Christian land
should be entirety unfamiliar with the verbiage
by which spiritual subjects are commonly ap
proached. He, therefore, after some kind enqui
ries abont tbo ravages which the dcseaso was ac
complishing in Bagley’s system, broached the
important topic, somehow thus :
“My dear Mr. Bagley, in view of your rela
tions with this life, how do you feel f”
“D—d sick!” was the prompt reply.
“Don’t swear, my poor friend,” said the par
son! and let me earnestly ask you If you ever
tbink of your latter end?”
“Lord!” said Bagley; “I ain’t thought on
nothin’ else for more’n three months /”
‘•Not, I'm afraid in the right way, Mr. Bag-
ley. I beg you to pause and reflect! It is time
yon began to wrestle with the Lord !

Great Distress In Emanuel County.
From a legal gentleman, directly from Eman
uel Superior Court, we learn that the greatest
distress is prevailing in-that county, in conse
quence of the scarcity of water. No rains had
fallen worthy of note since the 8th of September
last. This distress at the county site had in
creased in consequence of the additional num
bers in attendance upon the Court. Judge Holt
had been notified by the landlady of the princi
pal hotel, that be would havo to adjourn tbe
Coart, or proceed without anything to eat, as a
sufficiency,^ wafer to cook food was not to be
had in Swainesboro or its vicinity*
Wdarfl ktr6 'indebted to the. polite attention
of the sailke ’ gentleman, for the information,
that true bills were found at the late Court term,
of Emanuel,Tor murder, against thirty-fire or

“Fusion.”
I will be seen by the news of the morning
mails that the Democrats and Whigs made a
‘fusion” in Hartford. Connecticut, at the recent
city election for Aldermen and Conncilmen.—
Suoh “fusions” are now all right in the eyes of
tbe Foraeyites, whereas three months ago they
made a terrible fuss at “fusions” of parties.—
In New York such, “fusions" betwoen the For-
noyitea fused, with Anti-American Wbigs last
Wednesday, and were sadly used by tbe Ameri
cans. A “fusion” of all the odd and ends of
faotions opposed to Americanism will be made
in Virginia, next May; but with all the “fus
ion” and confusion they can produce, the Amer
ican party will triumph by a large and decided
majority.—American Organ.
Somebody gives tho public the bene6tof tbe
following recipe to get up a’nightmaro:
Fifteen minutes before bedtime cut up one
dozen of cold boiled potatoes; add a few slices
of cold boiled cabbage, with 6ve or six pickled
cucumbers. Eat heartily, and wash down with
a pint of brown stout Undress and jump into
bed. Lie flat on your back, and in abont half
an hour, or thereabouts, you will dream that tho
devil is sitting on your ohest, with Bunkor Hill
Monument in bis lap.”

A WATER SONG.
Eaeh flower holds up a dainty enp
To catch tho rain and dew;
The drink of flowers that comes in showers
Is just the drink for you.
Tho stars so bright that gem the night
In tbe round faoaven of blue,
Fling down their beams upon the streams
Whioh flow with drink for you.
That nightingale which*chnrtns tbe vale,
From yonder fountain flew;
The song-bird's drink should be, I think,
The drink for birds tike you.

Administration, but It has not takon the first
decisive step to effect it, and its official corres
pondence exhibited tbe woakest vacillation up
on this question, and the most lamentable du
plicity even towards its own accredited repre
sontatives abroad. Terrible indignation was
exhibited towards President Fillmore by South

Spain, in relation to the Island of Cuba ; and
because ho dared to uphold the honor of bis
country, the fkjth of its trenties and the laws of
the land, they charged *bnthe sympathised with

this period and considering it in connection
with the position of the present Administration
upon the Cuban question, to find these same
Southern Democrats wbo so bitterly assailed
Mr. Fillmore, sustaining it, although it has tri
fled upon this question for years, and has neg
lected opportunities to acquire tho Island of Cu

bad.
Mr. Soulo, identified with the Cttban party of

“Is there any news from the Chimera?” said
Mrs. Partington dropping in upon ub suddenly,
like a bombshell, on tbe arrival of tbe last
stenmer. She had Iko with her, who immedi
ately seized upon a pair of scissors and began
puncturing tbe top of tbe desk against wbieb
he was standing, at tbe same time kicking
the table at which we were sitting. “ Is there
any news from Chimera.?’’ We told her that
tbe news of tbe Emperor’s death was confirmed.
“ Ah!” said she with a sigh, " war is indeed
dreadful when it wont allow people to make
their peace when they die. I declare it gives
me a nasbua at my stomach, wben I think that
men should forget the kindnesses ami mean
nesses of life (she meant amenities) to worry
each other by minny rifles abd dog's delight.

him to do nothing—approving and suggesting
the Ostend Conference, and yet writing a note
to Mr. Sonic upon tbe result of its deliberations
and his duty in the premises, which obliged that
gentleman,-disappointed, discomfited and dis
gusted, “to beg of the extreme kindness of tbe
President,” permission to his home. With tbe
result before us, it would realty seem as if tbe
appointment of Sonle was simply a sop to tbe
Filibuster Democracy of the Sontb; and as if
the President and his astute Secretary of State
had determined from the outset that bis mission
to Madrid should be a farce. Be this as it may,
certainty it was a failure, and accomplished
nothing towards the acquisition of the Island of
Cuba; and we repeat that tbe Pearce Adminis
tration mast yet take the first step in the solu>
tion or the settlement of this question. There
are rumors, that the recent conduct of tbe coast
guard of Cuba, in firing across our vessels,
bringing them to, and examining tbeir papers,
wbicb is equivalent to the exercise of a right of
search, has at last aroused onr government;
that the Administration is determined to vindi
cate bur right to the freedom of tbe seas, and
that Capt McCauley, wbo has been despatched
to tho Galf. has instructions to blow a Spanish
vessel ont of tbe water or do something else
which shall bring ns to an issne with Spain.-
When any such practical and decisive aetion is
taken, we shall give the Administration credit
for it; but in tbe mean time, judging it by^its
record, we shall believe that it is opposed to
the acquisition of tbe Island of Cuba, either by
purchase or seizure, and that this object never
will be accomplished, until its policy is chang
ed and its Cabinet reconstructed.
Notwithstanding the doubtful position of this
Caban question, the Geergia Democracy we
foresee, and are determined to make it a prom
inent i8sno in the approaching Gubernatorial
canvass, and to make ont of it nil the capital
they can. At a recent social gathering of prom
inent Democrats in this city, a distinguished
Ex-Governor of the State, gave tbe following
sentiment: ‘Tbe Ostend Platform”—“Sale or
Seizure,” and another gentleman, wbo from his
position, exerts a wide influence upon the opin
ions of his party,, responded, “May tho first be
last and the last be first,” and the Telegraph in
noticing these sentiments a few days afterwards,
declared they indicated the feelings of the Geor
gia Democracy upon the Cuban question, and
added for itself, “Salcor seizure, and may the
last be first. That’s the. card.” We do not at
tach any peculiar political significance to this
“social gathering” of Democrats in Isaac’s Oys
ter Saloon, but we tako the two toasts which we
have given above, as “pretty nearly indicating”
according to the Telegraph, “the sentiment of
the Georgia Democracy on the Cuban question.’
If we are wrong, our Democratic cotemporary
has misled us and is responsible for our error.:—
The position of the Georgia Democracy then, up
on the Cuban question, is to seize tho Island by
force rather than buy it.
Wo like to understand our opponents, and to
know exactly where to find them, and are much
obliged to our cotemporary for disclosing the
position of his Party at this early day. There
is no strength or political capital in it. The
people ot Georgia arc, without distinction of
party in favor of the acquisition of Cuba, by
purchase if possible, by seizure if absolutely
necessary; but they are not prepared to sustain
any party which refers its seizure to its purchase,
prefers that it may be obtained at tbe cost of a
war w th Spain and her allies.
How an Alderyax avoided a Duel.—The
St. Louis Mirror, of the 29th ult., relates the
following anecdote which, it says was narrated
by an Alderman in the Court of Aldermen of
that city, “tbe other day for the benefit of two
wrathful members of the Court—“ In my
earlier days I happened to be in company with
gentlman who, in the presence of several oth
ers, used very harsh and violent language to
wards me. Although I did not return the com
pliment—on the contrary, I spoke ia soothing
terms to him—I was astonished by the receipt
of a letter from bim, at this moment strong in
my recollection. It was—‘My dear sir, I ad
vise you to consult your friends on the propri
ety of making me a suitable apology for your
unjustifiable conduct before I direct a friend to
call upon yon. Yours, truly, (laughter.). To
To that epistle I wrote the following answer:
‘My dear sir, (great laughter)—I have received
your letter, and being a dead shot, I shall re
quire security for the expense of your funeral.
Yours truly, Charles Farebrother,” (laughter.)
Now, I hope the misunderstanding wich has
taken plaee here will end as harmoniously as
that whioh took place between my old friend
and mo; for be gave us all an excellent dinner,
and I believe he and I had just as much idea
of fighting as my two very good friends enter
tain : and I think it very probable that they
will imitate my eocentrio antagonist in his hos
pitality.” (laughter.)
Texxesske Penitentiary Burnt.—On Fri
day tbe 31st ultimo, tbe Penitentiary near this
city, was found to be on fire. Wben discover
ed the flames had made some progress, and it
was impossible to suppress them. All of tbe
workshops in the yard, and the left wing of
the main building were burned, together with
the stock of materials, tools, and mannfoctnred
articles on hand. So soon as tbe fire was dis
covered, tbe doors of tbe cells were opened,
and the convicts tamed into tbe yard; one of
them, however, after going ont of his own,
went into another cell and was smothered to
death. He was from Memphis, and named
Conner. The centra and right wing of tbe
building a ere not hnrt; in tbe left wing, which
was burnt, were tbe dining room and a number
of cells. The fire originated in tbe northern
end of the eastern L, but how it originated is
a matter of conjecture; no one, pretended to
be able to account for it. The isolated position
of the Institution, and the scarcity of water,
made it superhuman work to stop the flames
after they had got a fair start; the firemen
were willing enough and made all the efforts
of which they were capable, iu vain, to be of
services. The loss is estimated at $30,000 or
$100,000.—Nashville Banner.
What an Intelligent Gerxan thinks of
the Know-Nothings.—Mr. Valentine Heckler,
a German, now residing in Richmond, has pub
lished a letter, in which he says: “If I was at
my native home in Germany, and an American
citizen was to come there and set himself np
for an office, I should not feel that he had any
right to complain of me, and feel unkindly to
wards me, because I preferred my own coun
tryman to him; and I tbink it wonld be a very
hard matter for any American to get an office
where I came from that was worth anybody’s
having; and for that reason I don’t complain
because Americans choose to have tbeir coun
try controlled by their own people in prefer
ence to mine.” Again he says: “As for pro-
sription I don’t see, that as a German, I am
any more proscribed by the Know-Notbings,
than as a Whig, I was proscribed by the Demo
crats.” And in another plaee be says: “I am
under greater obligations to the natives, than I
am to foreigners—and, therefore, mean to vote
with them. I have been three times rained
since I havo been here - twice by fire and once
by roberry—and have been three times re
established in business, and every time by tbe
native Whigs and Democrats; and no fellow-
countryman of mine ever yet lent me ncy aid
in my distress, ami, therefore, they have no
claims on me t support them for office, that,
by the way, they will never get.—Savannah
Republican. *
Camels to be brought to Amebica.—The
Washingtot. Union says :
It will be recollected that by a recent act of
Congress a certain amount was appropriated to
enable tho Secretary pf War to try the experi
ment of introducing camels on this continent
as bensts of harden and for military purposes.
As the Nary Department have occasion to send
stores to our squadron in the Mediterranean
the storeship Supply, now at the New York
yard, has been selected for this pnrpose, and on
her return voyage will bring the camels. This
vessel will take out Major Wayne, an officer of
the Quartermaster’s departments of fbe army,
to purchase the camels, and op her homeward
voyage will bring them to the United States.
The vessel will be prepared with all despatch
for sea.
There is no doubt that the experiment of in
troducing camels ns beasts of burden, and for
military purposes, in the southwestern part of
the country, will prove entirety snccessfnl.
Their great endurance, ability to carry large
burdens, and the len th of time that they are
enabled to exist withont water, will render them
a valuable adjunct to tbe army in tbe section
of country for which they are intended.

Papist Church Property.—The Kentucky
Tribune says Bishop Spauldino, the Roman
Catholic Bishop, is the wealthiest man in the
State. His real estate, consisting of cathedrals,
churches, monasteries, nnnncries, asylums, hos
pitals, Ac., is worth not less than from “ two
millions to five millions" of dollars. Since the
conncil of Roman Catholic Bishops of tho Uni
ted States assembled in Baltimore, in 1848, pro
mulgated their decree, requiring all individu
als and trustees holding property for tho use of
the church, to convey the same to the Bishops,
all the church property in the State, as wo are
informed, has been conveyed to Bishop Spaul
ding. Bishojf Spaulding is now ipore than a
millionaire. Since the issuance of the decree
by the Baltimore Council, there has been con.
centratod in tho hands of the Roman Catholic
Bishops of the Unitod States one hundred mill
ions of dollars! This is a greater sum than
the United States Government con command.

there no dangor of this ohurbh subsidising the
