The Whig has an artiele on the Administra
tion ind on affairs with Spain. Iteondemnsthe
President in the first place, for appointing Sou
le, who was so unpalatable to the .Spanish gov
ernmentatatime when our relations with that
government were in so delicate and complex a
condition. Next, for appointing Mr Augustas Cm
ser Dodge, whose qualifications foa the office, if
he possesses any, are ef a nega&*e sort; and
lastly, for recalling Mr. Perry directly upon tbe
appointment of Mr. Dodge, who knows nothing
of the State of onr affairs in Kfadrid, and cannot
even speak the language of the eonntry. It
says the whole management of our affairs be
trays an utter indifference to the interests of the
country, and discloses tbe continued existence
of the same ruinous policy with which the Ad
ministration first set out—the distribution of tbe
offices of the country with a view to tbe inter
ests of party.
Sectioxal Parties.—Mr. Cobb and bis co
laborers in the cause of the Pierce and Forney,
or dry rot democracy, are raising the old cry of
sectionalism against tbe proposed People’s
Convention, in advance of its. totion. They
need not bo alarmed. The freemen of
Georgia are competent to manage tbeir
own affiure without foe dictatiooW restless ag-.
itatore. Should they meet in convention, they
will frame abroad and constitutional platform,
upon which all truly national men North and
South, of all parties, can stand. Instead of rude
ly repelling those who think Americans should
rale America, they will invite their co-operation
in defence of the rights of foe Sooth and con
stitutional Union.»
If to labor to assimilate, combine and'array
all the elements of Southern strength upon a
constitutional platform, in defence of our consti
tutional rights, and against Northern aggres
sions. is sectionalism, then we are sectionalists.
Whilst Mr. Cobb and bis coadjutors would drive
the people of the South into the thnmble* of
Northern democracy to aid his selfish ends, we
would unite them together at home, in one com
mon brotherhood, for the protection of a com
mon heritage.—Recorder
Wht there is ho Rain in Peru.—In Peru,
South America, rain is unknown. The coast
of Pern is to thin the region of perpetnal south
east tradewinds. Though the Peruvian shores
are on the verge of tbe great South Sea boiler,
yet it never rains there. The reason is plain.
The southeast tradewinds in tboLAtlantic Ocean
first strike the water on the coast of Africa.—
Travelling to foe northwest, they blow obliquely
toss the ocean until they reach tbe coast of
By this time they are heavily laden
ncross.the continent, depositing it ns they go,
and supplying with it the sotircea-of the Rio de
la Plata and the southern tributaries of the Am*
ton. Finally they reach the siftnr-cnpptJd Andes/
and here is wrung from them the last particle
of moisture that very low temperature can ex
tract. Reaching the summit of that range, they
now tumbledown as cool and dry winds on the
Pacific slopes beyond. Meeting with no evap
orating surface, and witn no temperature colder
than that to which they were subjected on th/
mountain-tops, they reach tbe ocean before they
become charged with fresh vapour, and before,
therefore, they have any which the Peruvian
climate can extract Thus we see how tbe top
of the Andes becomes tbe reservoir from which
are supplied the rivers of Chili andPeru. r £/e»t

A French Woman.—The French woman’s
characteristics are generally that she . is nnex
ceptionably shod; that she wears inimitable
gloves—that she has a toilet of two colors, only
with a distracting way of wearing it; that her
manners ore bewitching—full of small grades
and delicately shaped coquetries, and never
wanting in the nicest appreciation of exteranal
proprieties to which her flirtations are always
subordinate—that she has a marvellous facility
of walking clean through the dity streets of Pa
ris, and with one hand over the left hip; that
she has a bewitohing habit of mistaking her
friend’s husband for her own. These are pop
ular characteristics, and few people allow her
any other; but those who know her know that
other thoughts besides dress and flirting work
beneath those smooth bands of glossy hair,
which look as though they had taken a lifetime
to bring tbem to ther present high condition of
polish and intricate arrangement nnd that the
bands fa their close fitting gloves can do some
thing better than make np caps and crochet pur
ses; that she is not only an agreeable woman
of society, but also a careful housekeeper, an
affectionate mothor and a submissive wife. A
French woman cleans her gloves, light boots,
silks and laces, and-at the cost of a. few cents
and with a surprising Success. They pass for
new oh any inspection bnt the closest, are wor
thy to do so. A French woman never buys a
lining for a new gown,; she cuts up her old gowns
and worn out petticoats instead. She unpicks
and sticbes Up again, turns, irons, and renews
until every inch of the stuff has served half a
dozen purposes, and there is not an unworn
thread,in the whole garment A French wo
man is always noticeable for her clear linen—
cuffs and collars always white and fresh ; but
then she works them herself, and thus procures
another large feminine luxury at small cost It
is tbe same with her table linen. Napkins at
breakfast, napkins at dinner, and fresh table
cloths or supper napkins constantly renewed.
A Gallows Speech—James Parks, who on
Friday last was executed at Cleveland, Ohio,
madfe quite A long speech before his execution,
asserting his inhocense. Tbe following refer
ence to bis family was made:
I leave a dear wife, who has. in m^1ongcon :
finement been an angel in her solicitude and
care for me. I had never known her virtues,
had it not been for my misfortunes. I have a
dear infant who has been taught to clasp its
arms around my neck, and whom I lovo dearly.
Heave aged parents, now near eighty years old
whose kind hearts I had hoped to keop the ig
nominious fate of tbeir son. (Here bis voice
faltered, and ho burst into tears.) It was for
the sake of all these that I attempted yesterday
to shorten my life a day.
When I am taken hence give my body to my
wife. I commend her and tbe child t j you.—
Lot her not suffer Irt want. Here some kind
.person proprosed to express the feelings of those
present by takingup a contribution, and it was
done on the spot*44 60 was contributed. On
seeing it Parks seemed moved by tho kindness,
and thanked tbem with considerable emotion.
He oonoluded by deolaring his in*iooeHoe and
gave tbe signal for his execution, by dropping
a handkerchief.

we think, rather more so; for nothing less than
a large measure of love will content her, where
as the recent fashion has shown that she can be
satisfied with a very little bonnet. It is un
doubtedly a scandalous observation, but a mod
ern philosopher Aa* remarked, and we give the
aphorism for what it is worth, that “Love is so
essential to the very life of woman, that in ce
libacy she is unhappy without a lover, and after
marriage, i< she is so unfortunate as not to love
her own husband, she is pretty certain to love
somebody rise’s!”—N. York Leader.

Green Beans or Snaps—Green beans or
snaps, green peas and resting ears may be bad
every day in winter at a very trifling amount
of trouble. They are all preserved by bring
packed away in salt. The salt is removed be
fore cooking by steeping in warm water. We
bad on the table a fine dish of snaps on foe
25th of December, Christmas day, and have
been using tbem since as often as desired.
Mode of preserving Beans.—Take any tight
vessel, jar or barrel, and lay down a layer of
beans and then cover lightly with salt and so on
nntil tbe vessel is full. Green peas are preser
ved in the same manner.
Topreserve Corn.—First shave tho Corn from
the cob with a sharp knife, and then pack in a
close vessel, corn and salt in alternate layers,
nntil tbe vessel is full, soak well in warm water
before cooking, and it is just as good as it is in
summer. Try it all you who are fond of good
eating. A. C. STEPHENSON.

There is a mysterious fetflihg that frequently

Whigs Revewber.—There is an important
fact far foe members of -tbe old Whig party to
remember, while they stand aloof from Know
Nothingism, and that is, there is not one promi

the attention, and influence the action of the
members of the Whig party:
The object of tbis appeal is apparent, bnt fob

Increase of Popert.—It is now less than
ten years ago, that foe first Papal See was crea

Seminaries; 21 Theological Seminaries; 25

and punished all those, and borne tbe burden of
tbe taxation therefor, And in God’s holy name,
what benefits have they received from the traffic;
which wrought all this ?
And so forages blood has smoked hotly front

Union deprecates the publication of the history,
and very pathetically assures Mr. Soule that the
State Department has not sined in the manner
he supposes; but we are inclined to think that it
would take greater power of soothing eloquence
than foe Union can command to temper, to any
available degree, the indignation of foe late

that foe American party did so well.
