Shade Trees.—There is no one thing, which
adds so much to the beanty and pleasantness of
a Town as a good supply of Shade Trees—well
arraoged and properly attended to. Beside
being highly ornamental, greatly increasing the
cm fort and-promoting the healthfolncss of a
place, shade trees exert a moral and social in ■
floenee, which, though not recognised by coar
ser minds, is nevertheless of too much impor
tance to be negleeted by tee good wishers of So
ciety. Even sate groves as. mighty and ought,
to be in onr streets, wooid become the bappy
homes of a honsand warblers, teat haunt tbe
woods and flowery meads; and, by their merry
songs and sweet carols of joy and praise, would
make glad the hearts of men and exert a whole
some influence upon their lives and characters.
Now is the time for transplanting trees, and
we would respectfully suggest to our efficient
City Council, who have already done great
credit to themselves and much for the improve
ment of the town, that they adopt some plan by
which this important matter shall be attended
to at once. The expense being so small, and
in the aggregate, much less by having tee town
supplied under the superintendence of one
man, and tbe probability that many owners of
Lots wooid not attend to it, and other reasons
may tndnee the Conqcil to take this matter
Into their swo hands, and thereby hand down
to future generations luting monuments of their
good sense and sound judgement.

What sort of a Party?

Mr. Thomtoh'beloK called upon, addressed the fiiltowing question :

overwhelming End resounding majority, bos, in

with ite own men. got itself squeezed and mash
ed down into such an insignificant minority in
Congress, that its own organs consider it too
insignificant to take any other responsibility
tbau that of refusing to lift a finger to keep
the republic from going at once to pieces?’’
The country will soon decide where tbe re
sponsibility rests of defeating the election of a
Speaker. Tho Democrats of the House of Rep

Facts in Natural History.—It is »ni<f
assembled, adopt tbe following platform of
principles.
1. Tbe maintainance of this Union of co
equal sovereign States, as onr fathers made it,
as the paramount political good—paramount in
its adaptation to the security of onr rights and
the happiness of the people.
2. Tbe names by which we propose to main
tain this, is obedience to tbe Constitution of
tbe United States, and all laws passed in porsn-
ance thereof as sacredly obligatory upon indi
viduals and States.
3. We regard'the great doctrines of religions
liberty and the separation of Church and State
as cardinal principles of onr Government—as
well settled and as firmly established as the
right of trial by jury and the writ of habeas
corpus, and therefore we will oppose tbe eleva
tion to office of any and pH persons who deny
the great American doctrines of liberty of con
science, or who. favor the nnion of Cbnrch and
State, or who recognise any civil alliance to any
foreign power, prince or potentate.
4/ The parity of tbe ballot box—the peace
ful administration of onr laws—tbe safety of onr
people—tho integrity of our Government—the
exclusion of pauper and criminal immigration,
and the enforcement of ear neutrality laws, de
mand, in our opinion, a material modification
of onr naturalization laws and a radical revision
of onr immigration laws. By this we do not
soek to disturb, in any manner, the privileges
of those of our foreign born citizens who are
naturalized under our existing Inws, and we in
vite all of them wha agree to onr principles to
become members of the American party.
5. Tbe territories of tbe United States we re
gard as the common property of all the States
as coeqnal sovereignties, and ms such open to
settlement by the citizens of the Statcp with
tbelr property us matter of right: and that no
power residos either in Congress or, the territo
rial Legislature, or the people of the territories
while a territory, to exclude from settlement in
any territory any portion of the citizens of this
Repubiio with their property legally held iu the
States from whioh they emigrate. We repudiate
therefore tho doctrine copninoniy called squat
ter sovereignty in the territories.
0. The right to vote is a privilege of citizen
ship, and should not be extended to foreign
immigrate to a territory before they are natural
ized.
7. The agitation of the subject of Slavery
should cease. Tho rights of the South are plain,
palpable, well defined and understood, and we
believe they should not longer be treated as open
iquestions. We will maintain our guaranteed
Constiiutional rights, and our right of property
in slavlfe. Georgia bn.«*s'>lemnly declared what
she will regard as-futoro grievances on this suh-
jeot and what her remedy will be when theso
grievances shall be inflicted. We will stand by
the Georgia Platform. - We believe the contin
uous agitation of tills subject,is made by selfish
politicians for personal and pnrty promotion,
and is hurtful to the South, the institution of
Slavery and ths permanency of tbo Union.
8. Reeotved, That this Convention now pro
ceed to select delegates to a National Conven
tion of tho American Party ; add we recommend
that said Convention assemble after tho 1st day
of May at such tlmo and plaoe.as shall be agreed
on, and refer, on our part, the tlmo and place of
assembling to tho Ptesldent of. this eonvention
nnd our two memberr in Congress. And wo

meeting was held in Frankfort, Ky., on the
19th ult.,9t which C. D. O’Sullivan, Esq.^na
tive of Ireland, but a friend to the American
cause, made k short and eloquent speech, in
which he insisted upon the principles of tbe
justice of tbe American party. In Ireland, he
said, he had straggled for the right of Irishmen
to govern their own country. It was for this
that O’Brien and Mitchell and all the other
patriots had con tended X an< * h® should feel
himself an ingrate and altypocrite if be should
deny in America what he hflt) straggled for in
Ireland—the right of tbe natH® »ons of every
country to rule their own ImdL’ “Ireland f«*r

patriots at home—“America for tbe^®e ncan ®
ought to be their motto here. ’ v

The Census Reports before the Georgia Leg

Rule on Ruin.—We think it highly proba
ble there is much truth in the comments of the
New York Evening Poei upon the'present posi
tion and ftitnre intentions of the Administra
tion party in the House of. Representatives.—
It says:
Tbe administration men would, in tbe hopeless
ness of choosing Richardson, prefer an out and-
out Repub’ican organization of the House.—
They want a fair and open fight on tbe Kansas
issue, and their second choice for Speaker Would
bo Glddings of Ohio.
London Punch on Gender.—The sun is
called masculine, from his supporting and sus
taining the moon, and finding her the where
withal tu shine nwny, ns she does at night, and
from bis being obliged to keep such a family of
stars besidos. Tbe moon is femtnino, because
she is constantly chnnging, just as a ship is
blown about by every wind. The church is
feminine because she Is marriod to State; and
time is maROuline, because ho is trifled with
by the ladies. #
