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 Maury. 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. ^ar“Emoline do you know what baa be come of those whalebones, I laid in foe drawer a few days since ?” “ Why, yes; do you not recollect that I have recently made a cor—?” “ I understand; you waist ed them!

Philadelphia, June 14. Fifty three Members of tbe Know Nothing Convention from the free States have seceeded in consequence of the action of foe convention in passing the majority resolutions reported by the committee on tbe Slavery question.

Indeed, 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.

If law may stop the spirits? flow Andmake a crime of spirits-tapping, Why may not Law still farther go, And stop foe Judge’s spirit-rapping ? A strutting captain of a militia company, once invited a ragged negro to drink with him. “Oh! certainly,” rejoined the darkey; “I’m not proa- : I’d jest as lieves drink with a mi litia Captain as any body else!” A drunkard once reeled up to Whitfield, the great Methodist Reformer, with the remark, ‘•Mr. Whitfield, I am one of your converts.” “ I think it very likely, brother,” said Whit field. “ for I am sure you are none of God's.” The question “ why printers do not succeed in business as well as brewers?” was thus answered: “Because printers work for tbe head and brewers for foe stomach, and where twenty men have stoma hs bnt one bas a head.” Washington, June 11.—Vespasian Ellis, Esq. editor of foe American Organ here, writes to that paper from the Philadelphia Convention.— He says that so far no concessions have been made by either the extreme North or South, but four resolutions of a national character have been adopted by foe committee on foe plat form. New York and New Jersey are conservative in their views, and Pennsylvania is not ultra. He believes that a conservative platform will be adopted by a respectable majority. Extraordinary Bag.—We learn from the Ceylon Times that Lieuto. Baker and Gnbbins of Her Majesty’s 37tb Regiment, have jnst re turned from a shooting excursion In the south and east of tbe island, and the result of their trip is the following extraordinary bag : They hod 47 days of actual shooting In the jangles, and it resulted in 90 elephants, 39 wild bnffit- loes, 3 bears, and 1 cbetab, besides a number of deer, peafowls, wild-hog, hares, wild ducks, Ac. Measuring the Winds.—Vice-Admiral Kreu- ger, of the Swedish navy, has invented an in- scrument by which the force of the Grinds can be measured with the greatest exactitude; and by order of the king of Sweden, it is to be ex hibited fa tho Universal Exhibition of Paris.

[From the Tippecanoe Farmer.] 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. Alabama.—Tbe American Party of Alabama recently held a State Convention in Montgome ry and nominated George Shortridge, Esq., of Shelby county, as their candidate for Governor. Judge S. is a Democrat of the old Panel, and is a man of ability. There were 150 Delegates in attendance, and they established foe follow ing Platform of principles. Platform of the American Party of the State of Alabama, adopted at the State Convention In Montgomerys June 12; 1855. 1st Native Americans for office. 2. Amendment of the Naturalization Laws So as to extend the time for admission to the full rights of citizenship. 3. Opposition to foe immigration to this coun try of paupers and criminals. 4. Opposition to foe e zeroise of political fran chise by foreigners in any of our Territories pri or to naturalization. 5. A protection to all persons “in fhe inesti mable privilege of worshipping God in the man ner most agrOefible to their consciences;” bnt We are opposed to eleoting any man to office who recognizes the right of any denomination whatever, to exeroise political power, or any “highef law,” than the Constitution of foe Uni ted States. 6. Tbe Non-Intervention trlth the subject of Slavery by the Federal Government, except for the Protection of our Constitutional Rights. 7. The Perpetuity of the Union of these States upon ihe Principles of the Constitution, and A Strict regard far the Rights of foe States, and the foil exercise of all powers not delegated to foe Federal Government. 8. The Purity of foe Ballot Box, and the En forcement of Law and Good Order. it is announced that some five hundred ot tbe foe raonstrir farrapins recently bronght from the Gallapagoes Islands, are to be placed on a California ranch for breeding purposes There is a mysterious fetflihg that frequently passes like a cloud over the spirit, undefinable, undefined. It comes upon the soul in tbe busy bustle of life, in tbe sooial oirele, in the calm and silent retreats of solitude. Its tower is alike supreme over foe weak, strong minded, and the iron-hearted. At one time it is caused by foe flitting of a single thought across the mind; again one single sound will oome boom ing across foe ocean of our memory, gloDmy and solemn as s death-knell, overshadowing all the bright hopes and sunny feelings of the heart 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 nent, leading influential member of foe Whig pany in this State who has given bis name and infinenCe to aid it on. This fact' should arrest the attention, and influence the action of the members of the Whig party: The object of tbis appeal is apparent, bnt fob lowing so closely upon tho cry of “Whig trick,” it will only rebound against its author. It won’t win.—True Whig. Increase of Popert.—It is now less than ten years ago, that foe first Papal See was crea ted by tbe Pope in the United States. Since that time tbeir increase has been greater than that of any other Church in the country. They now have one Archbishop; 30^Bishops; 21 Sees; 1,300 Priests ; 950 Churches and Cath edrals ; 500 Missionary Stations; 63 Female Seminaries; 21 Theological Seminaries; 25 Colleges; and 36 Female Convents! There are now in the United States; 2,500;000 Papists ud der the governndent of the Pope of Rome, all of whdtD are sworn enemies to this Republic, Und to the liberties allowed by tbe Protestant reli gion. The annual increase of the Catholics fa this cdithtry, mostly by emigrants from Europe, is 150,000, And to aid this cause Gov. John son is opposing a change in our Naturalization laws, and defending the Catholics from tbe pro. scriptions of the American party \—Knoxville Whig. - - - ■■ * -4 ■ — A merchant in a northern city, .lately put an advertisement in a paper headed, “Boys wan ted.” Next morning he faunda bandbox on his door step, with this inscription, “How will this one answer ?” A more beautiful, thrilling, and pathetic piece of poetry was never written—perhaps, • ’On a log Sat a frog, Sneezing at bis daughter; Tears he shed Till his eyes were red; And then jumped into the Watef!’ The Fugitive Slave Law in Connecti cut.—A bill demanding tbe repeal of the Fugi tive Slave law was votod down in the Connecti cut Senate last Tuesday. Mr. Terry of Nor walk, in opposing the bill, or rather the amend-: ment, which included the anti-fugitive slave law clause said that “ he Was willing the North should go to the verge of the Constitution, bat he was not prepared to'invite a dissolution of the Union;” 6—a The Know Nothings of Alabama met in State Council, at Montgomery, Monday last. Hon, GeorgC Shortridge Was spoken of as the probable candidate far Governor. It is said the Order in Alabama will adopt an open plat form and throw aside the veil of secrecy; Horrible Tragedy.—On Wednesday last, a negro woman belonging to Mr- Henry E. Will iamson, fesidihg about five milos from Griffin, took her two children, one aged about three, and the other about six years—went to the woods, hung tbe two children, and then hung herself! What does it Mean?—Previous to foe late meeting of the Cobb and Johnson democracy in this city, we heard through tbeir presses, glowing accounts »f democratic harmony and enthusiasm. Well,'the Convention met, after tbe most persevering drumming; When it was found that forty counties scht up no. delegates, and many other* were represented by only one: No wonder that the spoils dynasty try to hide their terror by noiSy meeting* and wholesale There is a reason abuse of their opponents. TDere is a „ for thfe absence of delegates from nearly one- i mained at home—our only ' astonishment is The Destroyer. Nearly aeten hundred murders were com mitted fa the United States, in tbs year 1854. Nine out of ten were the direet fruits of the li quor business. Let tbe honest man look to this record of blood, and then support tbe ram traffic without a burning cheek, if he can. What fearful slaughter—what darkening crime! So many men have been transformed into fiends. So many bands have been stained with human blood and their sonls with crime; Staines never to bo washed out, have been affix* ed to so many names. The people have tried 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 ram’s sacrificial altars. The gallows and the dungeon are aa necessary to tbe ruin traffic,mS pest honsfes to tbe plagoe. A heathen people might plead an excuse far this infernal system. But a Christian people have tloDe. Murder riots In its unbroken feast of blood. ' Fiendish hat cheries are of common occurrence. With shadow of these scaffolds darkening the land; statesmen stand up and pettifog about no thing, and wail about foe value of property in vested iu the rum business ! God teaches ns that man is worth more than many sparrsWs.— Politicians teach us, that rum is more sacred than the intents of two worlds. Homes; hearts; and human life most be sacrificed to feed foe consuming fires .of these hells on earth! Bnt tbe better day comes steadyify on; Hit man fiends shall not Always gorge on human blood “by authority.” Our presses shall not always give daily record of re volution and Moo dy butcheries.— Cayuga Cheif. ^■ ■ ■ ■ jS—— Daclllng—To the Pablie Maj.

Notice of. the Brew—From the Bnndlecund Galexy,” June the 15th, 1854.—“The fight yfesterday between Major GahagahAiid foe Horn _ Fits Roy Jobson. was one of the most beadtifal' conducted affairs We ever had the pleasure of witnessing: With five successive shots from a Colt’s revolver; the gallant Major removed his adversary’s‘five front teeth, and with the sixth took off, as cleanly 03 with a scalpel, an inch and a half from tbe end of his nose, the profusD hemorrhage ensuing rendering Mr. Jobsod hors do combat for ihe nonce.” .

On learning the nature of his adversary’s wound, the Major wittily remar ked that be was much to bo pitied, adding that he would have winged the Bishop bdt for fee* . of making an angel of him prematurely.” Hundreds of similar testimonials to the above may be seen by applying to Major G.

Although disappointed in foe result; as we remarked last week, we think there is nothing in it calculated to depress -the hopes of the Amerioan party, hut much- to cause them to rejoice. When it is considered-fofit all the patronage 6f the State and Federal Governments WAS brought to bear against the' American ticket, together with the British fifad Voce; Which virtually deprives poor men of their freedom of'Choice—the fact that Wise; an able and eloquent speaker, thoroughly canvassed the State, while his competitor re half of tbe State.

The lattor threatens to inflict upon them tbe history of bis mission, and as this would necessarily expose to vulgar eyes some of the mysteries of foe State Department, there in quite a flutter in.thatquarter. The Washington 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 Minister to Spain that foe American party did so well. The K. N’s claimed to be 72,000 strong. It turns oiittiiat Flournoy’s vote is about 80,000!
