mon sense paragraph under the caption of
’How to treat a wife," going tbe rounds :
"First, getn wife ; secondly be patient Yon
may have great trials and perplexities in your
business with the world j but do not therefore
carry to your borne n clouded or contracted
brow. Year wife may have many trials, wbieh,
though of lew magnitude, may have been as
hard to bear. A kind, conciliating word, n
tender look, will do wonders in chasing from
her brow all clonds of gloom. Yon encounter
your difficulties iu the open air, fanned by
heaven’s cool breeses; but your wife is often
shut in from these healthfol influences, and
her health foils, and her spirits lose their elas
ticity. Bat oh! bear with her; she has trials
and sorrows to which yon are a str inger, hot
which year tenderness can deprive of all their
anguish. Notice kindly her little attentions
and efforts to promote your comfort. Do not
tako them all ns n matter of course and pass
them by, at the same time being very rare to
observe nay omission of what yon may con
sider duty to you. Do not treat her with in-
difference, if you vronld not sear and palsy her
heart, which, watered by kindness, would, to
the latest day of her existence, throb with sin
cere and eoastant affection. Sometimes yield
your wishes to hers. She has preferences ss
strong as you, ahd it may be just as trying to
yield her ehoioe as to yon. Do yon think it
hard to yield sometimss ? Think yonitudif-
flealt for her to give up always t If yon nev
er yield to her wishes there is danger that she
will think yon are selfish, sad care only for
rourself; and with sueh feelings she cannot
ove as she might. Again, show yourself man*
ly, so that your wife can look up to yon, and
feel that yon will net nobly, and that she can
eonfide in y oar judgment."
Scolding is ran Pclfit.—The minister who
habitually aeolds and raps the feelings of his
church, ought to be converted to a milder course
or leave his occupation for one where his de
pravity will not do the misehief which it does
in the pulpit. The following which was writ*
ten by n friend to a minister conveys some use
ful hints, and therefore we print it:—"No man
was ever scolded oat of sins. The heart, cor
rupt as it 1*^ and because it is so, grows angry
if it be not treated with, management and good
manners, and scolds again. A surly mastiff will
bear perhaps to be poked, though he will growl
even under the operation, bat if yon touch him
roughly he will bite. There is no grace that
the spirit of itself ean counterfeit with more
sneresstbann religions zeaL A man thinks he
is fighting for his own notions. He thinks that
he is ektilftdly searching tbe hearts of others,
when be is only gratifying the malignity of his
own; and charitably supposes his hearer’s des
titute of all grace that he may shine the more
inhieown eyes by eomperison. When he has
performed this noble task he wonders that they
are not converted. "He has given it to them
soundly, and if they do not tremble and confess
that God is in them of a troth,"he gives them
up as reprobate, incorrigible, and lost for
ever. But a man that loves me, if he sees me
in an error will pity me, and endeavor calmy to
eonvinee me of it, and persuade me to forsake
it. If be has great and good nows to tell me,,
be will not do it angrily and in much heat and
discomposure of spirit. It is. not therefore easy
to conceive out of what ground a minister can
justify a conduct which only proves that he does
not understand his arraad- The absurdity of it
would certainly strike him if he were not him
self deluded.’’—Buffalo Ch. Advocate.
Is the Pennsylvania Democracy Sound ?—
Denouncing the American parly for disssensions
and (burning to be the only national party, the
Union, Enquirer, and other Pierce papers, stu
diously ignore the proceedings of the Pennsyl
vania Democracy. Will it ever be known in the
South, through the medium of these papers,
that the Nebraska-Kansas legislation has been
repudiated by tbe Democracy of Pennsylvania,
in convention assembled by the astounding ma
jority of 89 to 19 ? We challenge these journals
to justify tbe Democracy of Penn-ylvania accor
ding to the rule wbieh they apply to the Ameir*
lean Order.
A correspondent of tbe National Era seems
not without hopes of carrying off a share of tbe
Abolition Democracy. He quotes the fact of
their having repudiated tbe Douglas bill, and
adds: .
"Wo are glad to see decided indications of
dissatisfaction with tbs administration policy
relative to slavery, among the Old Lino Democ
racy of Pennsylvania. At their recent State
convention at Harrisburg, they rejected) by a
large majority, a resolution endorsing tbe Ne
braska bill ”

Foreign Paupers and Criminals
An examination of the Pauper and Criminal
statistics for the last few years, in the Unitod
States, affords most interesting and important
matter of consideration among tho thinking
C rtion of our community. That the ovil has
en an increasing one, even beyond the com
parative increase of population, no one will at
tempt to deny; and that it has in a major de
gree, owed that increase to the great influx of
foreigners, may bo proven by a glance at the
following synopsis, compiled from the most au
thentic sources:
The foreign population intbe United States in
1850, aa compared to tbe native, was nearly as
one to ten, there being 21,947,274 natives, and
2,244,892 foreigners. The whole number of pau-
'pers supported, wholly or partially, tn the last
mentioned year, was 134,792; and of this num
ber 88,638 were of foreign birth, leaving hut
66,434 natives.
In 1850, the number of paupers supported in
the poor-houses of Massachusetts, and who re
ceived partial support oat of doors, was 15,777 ;
and of this number 6,530 were native, and 9,-
247 foreigners.
In New York, the whole number was 59.855,--
and of these, 19,257 were natives, and 40,580
foreigners.
In Pennsylvania, the whole number was 11-
531; and of these, 5,898 were natives, and 5,-
835 foreigners.
In Rhode Island, tbe whole numder was 2,-
560; and of these, 1,115 were native, and 1,445
foreigners.
In Connection^ the whole number of convic
tions was 850; and of these, 545 were natives,
and 305 foreigners.
In Illinois, the whole number convicted was
310; and of these, 127 were natives, and 180
foreigners.
In Maine, the whole nntnber convicted was
744; and of these, 284 were natives, and 460 1
foreigners.
In Massaehnsetts, the whole number was 7,-
250; and of these, 3,336 were natives, and 3,-
884 foreigners.
In Missouri, there were 908 convictions; and
of these. 242 were natives, and 666 foreigners.
In New York, the number of convictions was
13,379; and of these 3,062 were natives 9,317
foreigners.
In Pennsylvania, the number of convictions
was 857; and of these, 504 were natives, and
293 foreigners.
In Vermont, tho number convicted was 79;
of whom 34 were natives and 45 foreigners
By a table published in the Compendium of
the Seventh Census, giving the number of con
victs in the prisons and Penitentiaries of the
several States, out of every ten thousand of the
population, the proportion of natives aod for
eigners in that number is as follows:
In Maine, oat of every ten thousand, are five
foreigners to one native. In Kentucky, six to
one. In Mississippi, ten to two. In New York
three to one. In Tennessee, fifteen to two. In
Vermont, eight to one. In South Carolloa,
twenty-eight to one. In Alabama, fifty to one.
In Georgia, six to one* In Indiana, four to
one; and the average in all the States is a frac
tion less than six to one.
For capital offences, out of two hundred-and
twenty eonyietions, which took place in about
eighteen months, iu seven States, viz: in New
York, Pennsylvania, Missouri, Louisiana, New
Jersey, Massachusetts and Maryland, there were
one hundred and thirty-eight of foreigners to
eighty-two of natives.
Bangers of Life
Human life is a sort of gossamer thread, frail,
and brittle, even to a proverb. And amid the
thousand dangers to which it is exposed, over
the rough-and-tumble of its brief and rapid
journey across time’s narrow isthmus, it is al
most a miracle that it holds on a year.
Strange that a harp of thousand strings
Should keep in tone so long.
The invisible hand of the Great Architect
alone could keep the beantiul and complicated
machinery of the human frame in harmonious
motion for a single day. And yet what multi
tudes daily and hourly forget «the hand that
sustains and protects them amid those visible
and invisible dangers. Not anfrequently tbe
wheels of this wondrous machine get out of or*
der from furious and intemperate driving of
some sort, and then the wheels go whizzing and
bnzzing till reason totters on its throne, or their
slow, sluggish movement gives indication of a
final collapse. The whole structure feels the
shock, and it requires all of nature’s recupera
tive influence, aided by the skill of the materia
medico, to restore it to healthful and vigorous
action. Bat the strongest thing of all is, that
he who dwells in and conducts the movement
of this beautiful and wonderful machine, has no
more sense of dependence, and no more feeling
of gratitude to Him whose inspiration sends dai
ly and hourly the warm currents through all its
channels, giving it life and health, and vigor of
motion.
We hold onr existence, says a fine writer, at
the mercy of the elements; tbe life of man is a
state of continual vigilance against their war-
fore. The heats of noon would wither him like
the severed herb; tbe chills and dews of night
would fill bis limbs with paio; the winter frost
wonid extinguish life in an boar; tho hail would
smite him to death, did he not seek shelter and
protection against them. His clothing is the
perpetual armor he wears for bis defence, and
his dwelling the fortress to which he retreats
for safety. Yet even there tbe elements attack
him; the winds overthrow bis habitation; tbe
waters sweep it away. The fire that warmed
and brightened it within, seizes its walls, and
consumes it, with his wretched family. The
earth, where she seems to spread a paradise for
bis abode, sends up death in exhalations from
her bosom; and the heavens dart down light
nings to destroy him. The drought consumes
the harvest on which he relied for, sustenance;
or the rains cause the green corn to "rot ere its
youth attains a beard.” A sodden blast engulfs
him in the Waters of the lake or bay from which
he seeks bis food; a false step or a broken twig,
precipitates bitn from the tree which he had
climbed.for its fruits j-oaks falling in the storm,
rooks topKng down from tbe precipices, are so
many dangers which beset bis life. Even his
ereet attitude is a continual affront to the great
law of gravitation, which is sometimes fatally
avenged when be looses the balance preserved
by constant care, and falls on a hard surface.—
The various arts on which he relieB for protec
tion from the unkindness of the elements, be
tray him to the fate be would avoid, in some
moment of negligence, or by some misdirection
of skill and he perishes miserably) by bis owu
inventions. Amid these various causes of acci.
dental death, which thus surround us every mo
ment, it is only wonderful that their proper ef-
fect is notoftener producedso admirably has
the Former of the universe adapted tbe faculties

ils of the condition in which he is placed.—Ex

LETTER.
Rohe, April 27, 1851.
Mr Dear Sir :—I was much pleased to learn
that you woro still faithful to the principles that
governed and controlled ancient democracy, and
had not forgotten the Iosson taught us by Jock-
son in tbe days of South Carolina nullification.
The position of some men of Georgia, once
the leaders of the Union Democrats, is a subject
of surprise end astonishment. Gov. Towns,
Gov. MoDonaid, and my old and estoemad un
cle, Gov. Lumpkin in tho days of the nullifica
tion, were our standard benrers in the contest
that was at that time waged between the friends
and enemies of the Union; and Gen Jackson, I
know, reposed implicit confidence in all of them,
in that fearful crisis, brought about by Mr. Cal
houn and the personal enemies of Gen. Jack-
son. And I have much reason to believe that
the disaffection in Carolina and Georgia towards
tho Government of tbo United States, which
originated at that time, has never ceased to this
good hour. And it has been concealed only to
give its advocates position and influence to ef
fect, ultimately, their purposes and designs. I
was aware thnt Mr. Colquitt, Cooper, Black
Jones, and others who left the whig party and
joined the democrats, did not give up a single
political principle, and I have known them
time and again to maintain their consistency at
tbe expense of the feelings and principles of
tboir Union supporters.
I expected that they, and all whe agreed with
them that ’‘Nullification” was the "rightful
remedy would be eager to unite with uny party,
or even faction that would raise the cry of se
cession or disunion. And if you will look over
the list of your acquaintances in Georgia, I ven
taro to assert the fuct, you cannot find an old
Nullifier who united with the democrats in 1840,
when the whig party was organized originally,
who is not a Southern Rights wan, and for se
cession—I was prepared for this, but I was not
prepared to see men who bad grown gray in
professing devotion to the Union, at once aban
don it, with all the glories of the past, and all
the promises of the future. In this country you
may rest assured thnt a largo majority of the
people will sustain the Union party and the
great measure that this party organization was
intended to accomplish. They will not abandon
the cause of the Union or that organization
formed at MiHedgevillo in December last, for
any canse whatever. They neither regard the
suggestions of the Columbus Times on the one
hand, nor the Federal Union on the other. The
position of the one they regard as factious, if
not fanatical while they despise the hypocritic
al cant of the othor while he seeks to cover his
ill concealed design under professions of attach
ment to tbe Democratic party. I am glad that
tbe party in Georgia which fostered such rep
tiles has been broken up. The principles of the
party suffered, always, when confined to the
keeping of such men. These principles I hope
and believe will still lire when such men are
forgotten.
Yours truly,
JOHN H. LUMPKIN.
1 Origin of the American Party.
Wo have seen at different times vnrious ac
counts, pretending to be authentic, of the ori
gin of the "American,” or "Know Nothing”
party, but none of them which appeared so
probable, or were from such a reliable and
authentic sonree, os the following, which was
communicated by tho Hon. Stepen Adams,
United States Senator from Mississippi, to the
editor of the Memphis Enquirer. Mr. Adams
is a Democrat, and a man of unimpeachable
character for veracity. Mr. A. informed the
editor:
1st—It is unqualifiedly false that E. Z. C.
Judson, commonly called "Ned Buntline,”
had any thing to do with the organization of
what is known ns the "Know Nothing” or
American party. The organization of which
that notorious person was the founder, was a
military one at Boston, unconnected with tho
political parties of this country.
Secor d—It is unqualifiedly false that tho
Know Nothings bad their origin at the North.
They organized their first Councils (or Wig
wams) in Baltimore—a Southern city—under
the following circumstancss: Just before an
election there two years ago (or thereabouts)
the leaders (or one of them) of the foreigners
and Roman Catholics, went to the leader of
one of tbe political parties—the candidate for
Mayor—and offered to give him the whole
foreign and Catholic vote, provided he would
bind himself to appoint certain individuals to
office, after his election, a list of whose names,
and of the offices desired for, was furnished.
Tho candidate refared to make any such cor
rupt bargain—-and sure enough, he was beaten
by bis opponent. After the inauguration of
the successful candidate, it was observed that
all or nearly all of the persons whose names
were on the aforesaid list, were appointed to the
offices therein specified! Intelligence of these
facts spread like wildfire through tbe city.
They were investigated and found to be too
true; and resulted in arousing the native Amer
ican sentiment of tho Baltimoreans to fever
heat, and in the birth and organization of the
so-called “ Know Nothings.”
"This statement,” remarks the Enquirer, "is
vouched for by as reliable and truthful a gen
tleman ns there is in tho South—Hon. Stephen
Adams, Democratic Senator from tbe State of
Mississippi.”
We of course are wholly ignorant of the facts
stated by Mr. A., and only give them as apart
of the history of ti-e times, vouched for by a
gentleman (a Dememocrat) of high character,
who occupies a high official position in his
State. Xt is therefore altogether more reliable
than any other account we have seen of the
origin of the party. Wo may add, it bears tho
impress of truth upon its face, for it furnishes
tho cause for the astonishing and unparalleled
effects produced.—Chronicle & Sentinel.
Abolition Testimony.—Tho National Era—
tho great Metropolitan Abolition paper—thus
spoaks of the Know Nothings and tho necessity
of putting them down—regarding them ns tho
only obstacle in the way of a speedy and com
plete Abolition triumph.
"We shall make no apology for giving line
dnd precept upon precept on tho subjeet of
Know Nothingism. Others may do as they
please- speculate, dream, expect drift, cry "all’s
well;” call us captious, suspicious, or intermed
dler: plume themselves upon their masterly
inactivity,” and issue weekly bulletins, anoun*
cing that the danger has passed; they always
said so, things have turned out just ns they pre
dicted: we must judge ami act for ourselves.
“Tho honest friends oT freedom must put
down Know Nothingism, or Know Nothingism
will put them down. The Free States must
reject Know Nothingism, or Know Nothingism
will irretrieveably divide them, and place them
undor tho bool of this slave Power. We are in
earnest, and we intend to make our readers feel
in earnest, if we can. Wo bavo novorexp.ee-
ted any good from tho Secret Order.”
The Last and Worst.—Why is Stringfel-
low like fine print ? Because he’s injurous to
tbo eye of the Itceder.
A Classical Extravaganza.—A gentle
man on being told that his wife had mnde him
tbo happy father of two children, mechanically
exclaimed, "O Gemini!’’
EcoNOMV.—Economy is tho art of drawing
in ns much as one can, but, unfortunately,
young ladies will apply this "drawing in” to
thoir own bodies when they wish to avoid any
thing like a "waist”
Lafayette on tbe Pope.
In the Frenoh Chambers, in February, 1831,
Lafayette, in an animated speeeh, speaks thus:
" I have now nn opportunity of alluding to
what has transpired in Italy. * * * I
shall confine myself to recent events.
"The government may have reposed confi
dence in the infallibility of the Holy 8ee; but
I have no hesitation in affirming that the Holy
See has departed from the truth, when it pre
tended that it granted certain rights to the in
habitants of Romagnan.
“This is not the case; the inhabitants of
the Roman States have not hod granted to them
what they possessed previously to the Congress
of Vienna, but have been deceived by the prom
isee which were made to them—promises which
have been totally disregarded.
"New judges, they say, have been nomina
ted : but let us suppose that under the domin

"jl am happy to think that onr government
will regret having been deceived by the Court
of Borne, but how can I rely on the success of
its steps near that court, when I see that the
promises of liberating the prisoners brought to
Venice through the means of Austrian Piracy,
have not yet been carried into effect, and that
they are still incarcerated in Venice? But,
hold, I am deceived, for fifteen of thorn have
just been sent to Milan to be tried by a special
commission, and, gentlemen, you all know
what special commissions are at Milan.”—Sar-

In the citations made by Prof. Morse in his
letter to Bishop Spalding, published last week,
there was nothing more decisive than this to
show that Lafayette held the Pope and his

ment which has been so clearly proved to be
his, viz: "If ever the liberty of the United

THE GREAT PKI1CIPLES AKD LAWS OF
THE PAPAL CHURCH.
Axtiamf.rican Patriotism.—There is one
thing which the Anti-American organs should
remember. They should remember that in all
their violent denunciation and vituperation of
large majority of all the people bom and reared
in the United States. They should bear in mind,
that, when they call the members of the Amer
ican party “bats”, "owls”, “liars”, “peijurere”,
"traitors”, cowards” and “villian”, they are ap
plying those terms to by far the greater portion
of the eons of the soil of thie country.
We think it high time for the respectable
members of the Anti-American party to pause
in their mad career. If they believe what
their organs say and what they encourage their
organs in saying, if they believe that by for
the greater part of the men born and reared in
the United States are vile and degraded wretch
es, they ought to blush for their country. If it
is true, that the most of the native born citi
zens are bats, owls, peijurers, traitors, and
every other infamous thing, and if our nation
is made respectable only by the constant pour
ing of stroog German and Irish tides into our
population, all decent men in onr land would
do well to emigrate to some region where truth
and virtue and dececy are of indiginous
growth.—Louisville Journal-

Most of these doginas are inconsistent with
democracy and republicanism, and if allowed to
domineer in a free eonntry, will soon cheek the

ANGELS’ VOICES.
As I oft muse, sad and weary,
Weary of this wreatched life—
Thinking of the world s> dreary,
Drenry in its bitter strife ;
Sad and lonely thoughts confonnd me,
Till to me it seems I hear

Lightens with their joyons song,

And life’s journey not so long.

Mr. CUappell oh the American PlATform;
—The Columbus. Times & Sentinel contains a
letter from the Hdn. A- H. Chappell, of M
which is in marked contrast to every this;
has been written by his democratic frien
Georgia. He avows his intention to vote with
the Democratic party, under the hope that there
are enongh sound men in their ranks at the
North to form the " nucleus” of a safe national
organisation. In the conrSe of his letter, h6
takes up the American Platform and read# A
withering rebuke to his democratic friends;, lit
the honesty and truth of his criticisms. The
following is bis language •
"I ani aware that our fellotr-eitizens. who be
long to the SeWly organised American party;
claim to stand upon ground and. to ha actuated .
by views and principles, in reference to tfie'
slavery question, identical with those I hive
asserted for the Democratic party. I will Hot
gainsay the jnstice of this claim- I rejoice; as
a Southern man, that I cannot gainsay it;—I
rejoice that the Southern men in the late Pfrila^
delpia Convention did aet a true and faititial
part to the Sontfa, the Constitution and Ih#
Union, on the slavery question. I rejoice that
they adopted a platform which expelled front
their body all.the noxious elements of freesoll-
ism and abolitionism; that, in fine, they adopted
a platform; so far as the slavery question is
concerned, ae good and as sound as the SoHiA
needs, or as Southern Democrats in the Natur
al Convention to be held next year will demand
and insist upon."
An Incident from Experience in School-Tea
ching.—One day I saw a little fellow with his
arms aboat a little witch of a girl, endeavoring,
if I interpreted the manifestations right, to kiss
her.
“Tommy,” said I, “what are yon doing
there ?”
“Nothin,’ sir,” spoke the bright eyed little
witch ; be wath tryin’ to kith me, that be wath,
tbur.” and eyed him keenly.
"Why, Lucy, what prompted him to act s.o
ungentlemanly right here in school ?” I asked,
anticipating some fun.
"Oh! he bitched np here, and thed he wan r
ted me to kith him, and I told him that I
wouldn’t kith thuch a thumpthv. boy ath he ith;
then he thed he’d kith me, and I told him that
he dathn’t but he thed he would do it, and I
told him I would tell the mathter if he did. but
he thed he didn’t care A thn&p for the mathter,
and then tried to kith me tho hard,” and the
little thing sighed.
"Why didn’t yott tell me, as yoti said yon
would?” I asked in a pleasent manner.
“Oh!” she replied, with ajiatrefe I did not
often see, "I didn’t care mnch if he did kith
me, and thd I let ’im.”
