Than is no doubt hot that Wise is elected, - by n majority mhco less than foatof Pierce ' over Scott. Though there was earnestness and enthusiasm on both rides, yet it was a ve- ly Unequal contest, fn the first place.

This was a great change to be effected in any State and -R>d«r any eiieomstanees. and one that eonld not reasonably he exnected in Virginia, under the present state of things.

The following from the Nashville True Whig expresses in alacidjityle, other reasons for the defeat of tbe American party. It says; First, as we remarked before the contest, V5r ginia is so wedded to old pnrthnn abstractions, has been so thoroughly imbued by foe dint of purty drill and discipline, with the idea that the "Resolutions of 98-9.” with the tortuous and variable constructions to which tb«y have been from time to time subjected, embody all politi cal truth and wisdom, and (hot what is outside * is antagonistic to them, and must be opposed ns heresy— and so habtuated’has she been to com placently arguing in a circle, or from a conve nient assumption to a desired conclusion, to sustain her boasted consistency—-that whore the father was in politico! association, the son is almost Sore to be found—and we therefore had very feeble confidence that any revolution of moral sentiment, however overpowering in other States, north or south, could at a single' bound, triumph over theimmeuse partisan mu |of more than vrrrKEv rworgAxn, as shown t Presidential election, r, and more important still.

The result as we eaid of It in advance, "odly adds another to the many illustrations we already have of foe peculiar tenacity with which Virginia adheres to her long cherished partisan faith—singularly barren aa It baa proven to be in practically promoting her industrial, domes tic prosperity.” Col.

"In Massachusetts this third degree was re pudiate. and hence the nnomnlous proceedings of the Legislatore. notwithstanding Its profes sions of Americanism. It is understood, how- ■aver, that there arc numerous third degree members in that State, and that, with Gov.

Senator Wilson hns placed himself beyond the pale of orthodoxy, and will, unquestionably, he repudiated hy the National Convention to'whWh he bus hoen dlec- ted a member.” fFor the Courier.] ■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 can party hare determined that Americans and Protestants shall rale, and that neither for eigners nor Catholics, nor the trading politicians, who have been bidding for their votes, shall.-— And they wilt succeed, despite all the jargon and noire about proscription and religious tests that ?an be uttered.

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.

Mr Editor—Although no paper la my na tive eity has taken upiho Nnfive American flag like yon have, I feel it my duty to let yon know something that oreured the night font Mr. Stephens Spoke npon the paramount ques tion of the day. After Mr. Stephens conclu ded his Anti-American effort there were loud ealls for Mr. Toombes who then arose and ad dressed the people to the number of near two thousand—hut hia effort was no better than Mr. Stephens’, and after he concluded Mr. Thomas of Elbert arose with the same opinions, expres sions, Ac., etc., ’hat had just Keen m#de use of. And then some one in the crowd cnlled for cheers for tbe ” Gentlemen that had just ad- dressed ’em” which were given—but, from such a crowd it was a Weak attempt. Until souie, quito a number I assure you Mr. Editor, cnlled for three cheers for Sam— which were giveo in one loud prolonged cheer which commenced at the outside gate ami rolled loud and long to the 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.

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, whother yon are worthy or fit to nttnet the love you seek ; but its whole eoul will incline to yours, and ingraft itself, as it were, on tho feel ing which is your feeling for the hour.—Hon.

[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.

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.
