Than is no doubt hot that Wise is elected,

received in Virginia a majority of 15.fiD0 votes;

■r.,^Stephens aft Augusta.
In a speech Xt that pi see, Mr. Stephens in-
formed his hearers In foe outset he was no
'trickster.” pronounced a eulogy upon truth :
adverted to Jndas Iscariot and delivered a tir
ade of invectives upon foe "objects” of the
American party. Able writers upon foe human
mind inform us that most of foe thoughts which
occur to foe mind are produced by an “asso
ciation of ideas.” Was ithy any agency of bis
or others in connection wit 1 him who procured
foe "various calls” in response to which be
stated he had “travelled over more than half
foe State to announce himself a candidate V*
Or eras it that be had made any contract to
transfer himself and as msny of his “old friends”
as he eonld deliver over to any party or party
leaders with whom neither himself nor his old
friends and supporters bad heretofore been ac
customed to aet, that suggested Judas and bis
betrayal of Christ, to his mind ? Or was it tho
false charges that he has made and designed
then to make against the American party that
suggested foe eloquent eulogy "upom the sub
limity of truth”, which, we are informed, he de
livered on that occasion ? These questions wo
leave to others more competent than wo can
pretend to he, and to that “monitor,” of which
Mr. Stephens speaks in his own hreast to de
termine. Barely remarking that be had short
ly before stated, and we suppose candidly, that
“he was not a candidate, and did not expect to
be,” and assigned as foe reason that large num
bers ofhis old friends did not desire he should
he. These “old friends” then could hardly
bare been amongst the number of those who
made these “various calls.” ' How has he pro
cured these new friends ? We are also inform
ed that be has stated that he intends to rapport
foe candidate of a party with which neither
himself nor his old friends had heretofore been
unrferetood to act And that he eonld bring
with him twenty thousand votes. We know
also that he has suddenly become a great favo
rite with the leaders and newspapers of that
party- We shall not ebarge that any of these
considerations suggested to his mind the idea
of “trickster” Judas, or his eulogy upon irutb,
it may not have been any "association of ideas.'*
But it is quite possible it may have been. Mr.
Stephensls alawyer and a - moralist, and no one
knows hatter than he does that it i* a rule foot
he who asserts what he does not know to he
tme is gniltv of falsehood equally with him
who asserts what he knows to he false. He had
inst informed us in bis letter that of foe "prin*
elples. aims or objects oftbe American party
he knows nothing f in his speech he Says their
ohjeet is revolution and a violation of the Con
stitution. How he will relieve himself from
the charge of falsehoods, either in his letter or
speech, remains for him to show. We are not
surprised at.foe great exertions of Mr. Stephens
and other party hacks who have long ruled thn
country—they are in the situation of the shrine
makers f»r Diana, their “craft which ha# brought
them much gain, is in danger." The Ameri

Messrs. Editors;—Tho jpolitiesl ball will

ples'will be promulgated and partisans will

citisen, promptly to avow and firmly maintain
them. Theyare'foe opinions oTa humble pri

you may deem expedient. Whatever disposi

Since foe formation of our government, par
ties have existed and will continue to exist, so
long ns the republican features, as shadowed
forth in foe constitution of our country, remain.
They are but voluntary associations, formed in
order to carry out certain measures. When
foeyhave subserved their purpose, as the pro
gress of events developes itself they are disban
ded, thereby giving evidence ef the virtue end
•patriotism offoeiieople. Asa nation we'hitve
had Federal Republican, Whig and Democratic
parties, each of which embodied particular
creeds. More recently a p rty has nprung up
in our midst called Know Nothings. Their or-
ganisaOon. unlike that of either whiggery or
democracy, is founded in secrecy. At the time
of its original formation, under a consideration
that foe objects and •pnrposcs it contemplated,
and foe difficulties with which It hnd to cnntend,
it is believed that the-secrecy of the organ iza-
tion-wasto touch extent jnstifin’ble. In its in
fancy it bad to contend a irinst demagogues
and the corruption of parties. By the energy
and perseverance of its devotees, it has Vcome
an important organization. Tt hns won the
approbation of American citizens who have be
come awakened to the injurious effects of the
loose manner in which foe naturalization laws
■are mdmibtstered. Public opinion now loudly
would, perhaps, he better carried out by the ab
rogation of (hose laws, and of lengthening the
period of probation to twenty-one years. The
effect of this would be to check immigration.—
As foe American party has now become so
large, and attained «n importance almost, if
not quite, sufficient to carry out the design of
its original formation would itnot be wise and
proper to remove tbe injunction of secrecy? I
would, as an individual, suggest tbe propriety
of discussing this question. C.

flalnral History oftbe Locust
The following ^information concerning foe
•habits of the fourteen year locust given l*a
writer in the Boston Advertiser, will be found
interesting nt the present time. In calling at
tention to it wo would suggest'to Students of Na
turnl Hi.-tory in upper Georgia the propriety of
making accurate observation of these curious
inserts during their .present appearance in this
region:
The locust's favorite resort is that of a copse
of young and rather thin onk wood, where (he
■soil is rather soft and light. They arc first dis
covered in the ground near-tbe -surface, in the
form of a lnrge white grub or worm, and a
quarter of an inchin diameter. Whereof, in
what mode they pass ‘through tho chrysalis
state, and become fully invested with wingsand
•other mu lifters. I do not know; but they are soon
‘found In vast numbers, and in a full chorus of
sonorous voices, among the branches of the
small trees.. Th '.v have a distinctly marked
W foand on th<- back. In this stage of their
Hr, a they * ? o n< t -* em to feed. On opening one
the body appears to be a mere ho'low shell,
withiout any feeding er digesting-organs. They
coniinue in ‘bis state, I believe about six weeks
or two months.
Shortly b, for * their disappearance, many of
the small twigs of the young oaks appear to he
girdled and partially cutoff, and hang suspen
ded from tbe'extremity or the branches. The
leaves turn red as when touched by frost in au
tumn. On examination these twigs appear to
be sawed about two thirds off and girdled, so
that the circniation of sap being cut off, it soon
dies and probably falls to the ground during tbe
ensuing winter hy the action of wind rain awd
snow.
The general belief is, that by a curious and
remarkable instinct, the insect is led to deposit
its eggs.in some secure mode npon these small
twigs, and then thus partially to sever them from
the parent stock, so that bytheir full, the eggs
shall be borne gently and safely to the ground
into whose bosom they are in some form rc-
ceifedland clfrrished'to reappear In the form
of the full-grown locust, after the lapse of
seventeen years. I am not aware that this fact
of the deposifpf eggs upon the falling twig has
been verified hy actual observation; it is one
of the points which require -oareful -examina
tion.

Bishop Doase on Woman’s Rights.—Rt.

furcations. In the course of bis address the

Mary’s Flail. Burlington, after alluding to tbe
value of intellectual accomplishments in wo
men. the Bishop nevertheless observed:
"The highest human graces that a woman
ever won, have but ensnared her son!’in vanity
and sin; and wrought destruction, through
their attractions, for the souls of others. And
intellectual .powers and -int^Ifigent gifts, not
subordinated to tbo prortdential orderings of
God, n»t chastened and controlled by Bis re
newing grace, are-, at this time unsexing wo

companionship of a little child, has carelessly
passed by ono of the greatest pleasures of life,
as ono passes a rare flower without plucking it
or knowing its value. A child cannot under
stand you, you think ; speak to it of the holy
things of religion, of yonr grief for the loss of
a friend, of your love for some one you fenr will
not love in return ; it will take, it is true, no
measure or soundness of thought; it will not
judge how much you should believe, whether
your grief is rational in proportion to Jour loss,

you seek ; but its whole eoul will incline to
yours, and ingraft itself, as it were, on tho feel

[From the Southerner.]
We copy the following from the Southerner
by request:
May 29th, 1855.
To the Governor:
Sir—It appears to me, that all the products
of capital rind labor in a State, which are com
paratively durable in their nature and intended
to conduce to prosperity, may be classed under
tbe general bead of works of internal improve*
ment. It also appears that works of internal
improvement may be distinguished into two
kinds, according a# they agree or disagree in re
gard to their respective essential objects. By
tbe term, essentia] objects, are meant those pur
poses without tbe consideration of which, such
works would not be undertaken.
To one of these kinds may be termed private
or individual works, becanse, being effected by
means of the capital and industry, not of the
State government, hat of private individuals or
companies are private property and have for
their essential object, to act as ar source of profit
or income to the individuals or companies so
investing their private funds. To effectuate
this object and avoid disappointment and loss,
the sagacity of private interest leads to tbe adop
tion of no other rales for tbe management of
individual or company works, than snch ns are
exactly suited to the end proposed, which, as
just intimated, is the making of money fur the
individual proprietors.
The other kind of works of internal improve*
ment may be termed public or State works, be
cause,'be&nglraiTthy the metfns-of funds drawn
from the State treasury hy authority of the State
as a community and have for their essential <>!■
ject, not profits on the investment <>r revenue
for the government, but foe furnishing of the
taxed community with certain conveniences.
Accordingly, in foe -onse of our Sta teYiHlnriiA,
the essential object is, or ought to he. not in
come for thegovernment, but tofuritish focr-nj
mnnity of foe State with a permanent 'fiiei’lirv
of quick and cbenp cornmctcn.nl On H social Int-r-
criurse; and ft appears to me that in refeton-
to public works of internal improvement, suit
is the view taken Ivy statesmen.
Admitting, then, that between a eofnywtny road
and a Stole roan there exhfts foe sp diff.-r
enee here •explained, does if nnf f-Yh-tr ;•- a r<-r.:<-
oniibIe*e<m< lusion. that the goveTOtnrnf no? ..n-
ly-ought no'tto cripy th>- roles ofeoinnanyrnn-fs
especially in reference to 'finance, hut s’.>in!d <!•■-
vise for itself an Independent system of - .di
lations exactly suited to foe end proposed, which,
as just intimated, is to furnish the fayed -• .ty
mnnity with a permanent fiieility of quirk and
cheap transportation ?
It is clear that a eonr'iuidty pretending tn h,-
a sovereign State, is.undera tiiirh obligation not
only to he sensitive and vigilant. Wtih regard
to its dignity, which is a thing too pr.-ci >u- to
he estimated in dollars and cents, hnt to holt!
the government to the indispensihle duty of
taking cate that foe State's dignity he not 1<>w.
ered. This duty, apart from every other con
sideration. requires onr rulers to administer the
affairs of the-State road according to an inde
pendent sys'em of regulations. Certainly, if
requires no argument to persuade a Georgian,
who is animated by feelings of State oride. that
for rnlers to bring his own State to a condition
of dependence on another State or its citizens,
or on chartered companies, is a degradation to
Georgia and Georgians.
Very respectfully.

Poor Richard.

But notwithstanding all this, we do assert
that- claims are frequently nnt forward in be-
hnlf of the Roman See XVhitfo ate not in accord
with the principle of popular self government
and national indeper de- ce, and therefore‘Ought
not to be favored by any tree American citi
zen. And we are bound to say font the iealou-
sy to whreb Catholics in their political relations
ere subject, is attributable quite Rstnttch. to say
the least, to their own incoherence of Ideas as
to the perversity of their opponents. Now it
is very easy .for tbe American prelatoS at Rnlti-
mare to redel the imputation that Roman
Catholics are in civil matters subject to papal
authority ; hnt it is nnt so easy for fair minded
men to reconcile fors With the declarations that
FoT every 'Catholic Hi least, the Chntch has nn
absolute supremacy, and the tempnrial order
must receive its law, at least its interpretation
from her,” that “Whetever foe occasion •occur
red, foe Church asserted her power, not in
empty words only, but in-deeds, to judgesover*
eigns, kings nnd cassnrs, to bestow er to take
away crowns, to depose u godly rnlers. and
to absolve their subjects firotn their oath of
alleg’ttnce,”—declarations to be fonnd in an
American Reviewaccredited on its cover as
"excellent” hy this same Archbishop of Balti
more. this same Bishop of Wheeling, this same
Bishop’nf Pittshurg. this same Bishop of Ritsh=.
mnnd, and this same Bishop of Philadelphia.
It is very easy fnrthese Bishops to repel the
imputation that wo are in civil mntters subject
to the Pontiff's authority, hut it is not so easy
to accommodate this to the avownls within the

PREAMBLE AND RESOLUTIONS.
Whereas, the history of the past h* a con
vinced ns, that we whose interest and sffectioA
attach ns 'to the Sonth, have nothing to hope*,
bdt everything to feagr. a( the bands 'of foe lx*.
feting^poBflCJn organizations of nrin.’OTarehold-
ftik states, from the wpwit of AbAiUiopIgm
which, to a large and fearfol extent, pervaded
and controls sill of them. And whereas, fob
action of those States open the question of
slavery, conclusively shows that a large ma
jority of the pe -ple thereof are actuated by
one common sentiment of hostility to'foo in
stitutions of the Sonfo. And whereas, fob
gallant hand of Patriots within those Stater,
who are friends to the Sonth and faithful t6
foe Constitution, and whom we remember with
gratitude, have been rooted, disbanded, and al
most annihilated—we believe the exigency im
peratively requires ns to be One People and
One Party. Therefore, be it resolved—
1. That we hold the American Union secon
dary : n importance only to the rights and prin
ciples it was designed to perpetuate. That past
associations, present fruition, and future pros
pects. will bind ns to it so long as it eontinoes
to he foe safeguard of those rights and princi
ples-
2. That the State of Georgia, in the judg
ment of this meeting, will and ought to resist,
even (as a last resort) to a disruption of every
tie which binds her to the Union, any aetion of
Congress npon the subject of slavery in foo
District of Colombia, or in places subject to
the jurisdiction of Congress^ incompatible with
the safety, the domestic trnnqnili'y, foe rights
and foe honor of the shareholding States; of
any act suppressing foe slave trade between
slnvebolding States: or any refusal to admit a£
a State any Territory hereafter applying, be^
cause of the existence of slavery therein; of
any act prohibiting the introduction of slaves
into Utah and New Mexico; or any act repeal
ine or materially modifying the laws now in
force for the recovery of fugitive slaves.
3. That, in the opinion of this meeting, foo
time has arrived when nnr fellow-citizens shoald
cease from their dissensions, and forget the dif-
fenees whieh have separated them; and that a
common danger and a common enemy ’Should
nnite ns for onr common defence and safety.
4. That we hereby repudiate all fellowship

ical organization*, or any that Hiay be hereafter

and that "in ruling over the spirit, she rules the

easy for fooso Bishops to promulgate that “to
