The noisy boastings of the Know-Nothing jour
nals must receive a cold chill from the following
calculation of the N. Y. Herald, nude “ as strong!
ly as possible against the Democratic party.” Th->
Herald goes too far in giving Tennessee, or even
Kentucky, to the Know-Nothings— and in sub
stracting a number of Eastern and Western States
from the Democratic column. Take the table as i:
;s, however, it shows truly a lamentable prospect
ftr the Know Nothings.and the Black Republican.'
and a glorious result, for the Democracy, which
will surely be realized, if our party carry out the
saving principles of harmony, energy, union, and
of “measures, not men.”
THE PRESIDENTIAL VOTE OF 1850, FROM

The following is an estimate of the Presidential
electoral vote of 1850, based on the late elections,
cm the present organization of parties, and on all
the existing indications of the drift of the popular
vote, State by State, majority or plurality, in No
vember:

hi these estimates, it will be perceived that no i
State is put down as doubtful. This is done in or
der to give the probable results in a complete and ■.
definite shape, and as strongly as possible against
•he Democratic party. Otherwise Maine, New
Hampshire, Michigan, Connecticut and Wisconsin
might have been as safely placed among the doubt
ed or even the Democratic States, as tor the Nig- j
aer Worshippers, because the nomination of Mi. ;
Fillmore divides the anti-Democratic opposition j
t.,rces between him and the Seward alliance in all j
the Northern States, whether there are any avails- :
Me remains of the old conservative Whig party in j
existence.
Vote of Virginia.
We are as well satisfied as that the sun will rise
..-morrow, that Virginia’s vote in the Cincinnati
r invention will be for the re-nomiuation of Pierce.
The circumstances making P. the favorite of that
State for the approaching race, are deeper and
more abiding than a mere preference for the man,
individually. The politicians of the Old Dominion
of all parties ure remarkable for the basing their
movements on statesmanlike views and on prin
ciple. They, the Virginia Democrats,) know that
(iie brunt of the great and decisive buttle that has j
lately been fought over the country upon the lead- ;
ing and vital question now in issue, has been borne ;
by President Pierce ; and that when some others
quailed under the momentary unpopularity of the j
Democratic side of the question, until he (Pierce)
siis forced to become the almost sole standard
bearer of the Democratic cause fit being under
stood in the then existing condition of things that
hardly any one else was willing to risk the mar
irrd on that by common consent was then thought
; . await whoever the Democrats might nominate,,
bis bold and uncompromising policy upon it, and
his admirable State papers in connection with it,
stemmed the tide against it, and turned the cur
rent of popular opinion the other way, until all
danger to the immediate future of their party has
vanished.
Thus, the fact that Pierce lias himself for the
most part rescued their party cause from the dan
gers besetting it, forms the chief reason why Vir
ginia siands so squarely up to him ; as, in so di -
ing, he has fought a contest for State rights doc
trines, and those of the equality of the contending
sections of the confederacy equal in its vigor,
ability, patriotism, and risk to the political future
of the contestant, heretofore almost unequalled in
the political history of the country. The idea of
abandoning Pierce, and thus intimating a want of
confidence in such an administration as he has
made, is one from which gentlemen of the political
school of most of tlie Virginia Democrats revolt,
ns being likely to involve a stain upon the political
honor of the itate, that will forever hereafter pre
vent any northern public man from trusting the .
Hid Dominion to keep faith, practically, with those
who brave everything for the preservation in the
Government of the principles for its action and
guidance, on which Virginia relies as the sheet
anchor of her hopes in the Union.
The Democratic politicians of Virginia also
comprehend the fact that our country has become
too immense in all its elements of nationality, for
men to be longer the polar stars of the administra
tion of its public affairs. They regard men in
such matters oniv as the representatives of princi
ples; and thev justly look on the present Chief
Magistrate as being much more nearly than any
other aspirant for the nomination, the representa
tive of the great principle of the political coequali
ty of the sections of tiie confederacy on which its
continuance hinges, in their estimation. They re
spect their time honored custom of giving those
functionaries a second term whose administrations
-ignally come up to their high standard of the
Democratic propriety; as in the case of Jefferson,
Madison, Munroe, and Jackson.

break the ice for a conversation, he praised the fine
points of the off horse; the driver thawed

reading a newspaper A fellow-passenger, on a back
seat not having the fearof murdered English on his
hands, coaxed the Dutch driver into a long con
versation. much to the delight of a very pretty
Jersev-blue-belle, who laughed so merrily that it
was contagious; and in a few minutes, from bein v
nke unto a conventicle, we were as wide awake as
one of Christy s audiences. By sunrise we were
j in excellent spirits, up to all sorts of fun, and
when a little later, our stage stopped at the firt-l
watering-place, the driver found himself in the cen
tre of a group of treaters to the distilled juice i f
. apples.
“ Here’s a package to leave at Mrs. Schudder’s—
the third house on the left hand side after you get
'■ into Jericho.” “What do you charge?" asked a
; man who seemed to know the driver.
S “Pout a leffy,” answered he. Receiving the
silver, he gathered up the reins, and put the square
package in the stage-box. Just as he started the
horses, he leaned his head out of the stage, and
looking back to the man who gave him the bundle
' shouted out the question, “Ter fird hauson ter left
■ hand out of Yeriko?”
‘ The man didn’t hear him, but the driver was sat
isfied. On we went at a very good rate, consider
’ j ing how heavy the roads were. Another tavern
| more watering, more apple jaek. Another long
j stretch of sand, and we were nearing Jericho.
“ Avny porty know der Miss Stutter haus ask -
: ed the driver, bracing his feet on the mail bag,
which lay in front of him, and screwing his head
! round so as to face in. There seemed to be a con
sultation going on inside the stage.
■ i “I don’t know nobody o’ that name in Jericho,
do you, Lislie?” asked a weather-beaten looking
man, who evidently “went by water,” of another j
; one who apparently went the same way.
“ There wa- old Squire Gow’s da’ter, she mai - :
! ried a Scudder, and moved up here some two I
years back. Come to think on’t guess she lives ;
nigher to Glasshouse,” answered Lishe.
The driver, finding he could get no light out of j
j the passengers, seeing a tall raw-boned woman j
washing some clothes in front of a house, and wlm !
| flew out of sight as the stage flew in, handed me j
| the reins as he jumped from his seat, and chased >
j the fugitive hallooing, “ I’fe got der small pox, j

! dashed into the open door of the house. But in a

■ aint going to have you diseasing honest folks, if !

“ I dells you I'fe got der small pox. Ton’t you j

!it was a box lie had for her. The affair was soon <
j settled, as regarded delivery; but not us regarded i
j the laughter and shouts of theoecupauts of the ohi j
stage coach, as we rolled away from Jericho. The |

as to its cause, and added not a little to it by sav- I

Anecdote of the Hon. R. 11. Morris.
In a recent publication is given the remarks of j
the late Judge Morris, formerly Postmaster of tlii■> !
city, at a supper given by the clerk in the post of :
fice on his retirement from the office of Postmaster I
in May, 1849. In the course of the evening, vol
unteer toasts having been called for, Mr. Morris i
I said;
“Gentlemen, please till your glasses for a toast.
Vs 1 intend to toast a man you may not know , :
1 deem it necessary, before mentioning his '
name, to tell you wlmt sort of a man he is.
‘ He rises at 4 o’clock in the morning and works
assiduously during the day, until 7 o’clock in the
evening—goes wearried to bed, to i-ise again at 4
o’clock, and again to work assiduously.
‘ If the gentlemen of the Press—uud there are
some among us—incorrectly direct their newspa
pers for subscribers, it is the fault of the man 1 in- |
tend to toast, if the papers do not reach those to |
whom they should have been addressed.
‘ If a publishing clerk omits to address a news
paper to a subscriber, it is the fault of the man ! : ,
intend to toast, that the subscriber does not get j ,
his paper. j ,
‘lf a man writes a letter and seals it, and neg j
lects to put any address upon it, it is the fault of ; i
the man 1 will toast, if the letter does uot reach the ]
person for whom it was intended.
‘lf an officer of a hunk addresses a letter to Bos
ton instead of New Orleans, it is the fault of tin
man 1 shall presently toast, if the letter is not re
ceircd at New Orleans.
’lf a merchant’s clerk puts a letter in his over
coat, and leaves that coat at his boarding house, i
with tic letter in his pocket, the man I will toast j
is to blame because the letter has not reached its j
destination.
‘lf a merchant shuts up a letter he has written
between the leaves of his ledger, aud locks that 1
ledger in his safe, the man 1 will toast has caused
the non-reception of that letter.
‘lf a poor debtor has no money to pay his dun
ning creditors, and writes a letter that he incloses j
fifty dollars, but incloses no money, having none :
to inclose, the man I will toast has stolen tin* mo- I
ney.
‘lf a good, warm-hearted, true friend, receives a
letter from a dear i?) but poor friend, asking the!
loan of five dollars, and. desiring to he considered j
a good, warm hearted, true friend, aud at the same i
time to save his five dollars, writes a letter, saying |
‘dear triend, I inclose you the five dollars,’ but
only wafers into the letter a small corner of the
bill—the man 1 will feast has stolen the five dol
lars out of the letter, and in pulling it out, tore the
bill.
'lf a rail bridge is torn down, or the draw left |
open, aud the locomotive is not able to jump the j
gap, but drops into the river with the mail, the !
man l will toast has caused the failure of the mail.
‘This, gentlemen, is the stranger to you, whom I
will toast. 1 give you, gentlemen—A Post Office
Clerk.’
The Washington Monument at a Stand Still.— ]
The National Monument to the Father of his |
: Country, which has been for some years in pro- j
gress at Washington, having fallen into the exclu
. sive management of a political party, (the Know j
Nothings,) appears to have come to a dead stand .
still. Mr. V espasian Ellis, first vice president :
, of the new Monument Society, in his official re
port, says:
“ The country cannot bo roused to liberality, nor |
even to gratitude; and the agents who have been j
appointed, have, many of them, returned to us
disappointed and despairing, and deeply wounded -
by insult heaped upon them. The scheme with .
which we entered upon the work has been broken
by the mistaken action of our predecessors ; and !
it will be difficult, indeed, if uot in vain, to renew i
it. The tide had ebbed before our election, but j
i we are not responsible for the difficulties inter- ;
posed by others, which precluded us from taking !
it at its flood. We can only deplore it, aud by I
renewed and earnest effort endeavor to remedy the !
evil which has already been done to awaken the
public feeling rather than to go to Congress for 1
legislative aid.
The receipts of the year have been far less than ;
in any preceding year since the corner-stone was !
laid. The gross amount from all sources has been |
but $7,740. VVe have now £25 in the treason', |
and are m all responsible for uot exceeding J3O of
debts contracted by us, all of which is expected 1
. to be liquidated and paid by the end of this month.
Additional accounts of the receipts and expendi
tures are prepared and ready for inspection."
All of these complaints are the natural results j
of changing the original national anti-partisan de
sign of the monument into a mere speculation of u ;
political partv. When the Know Nothings of:
Washington elected themselves to the management
of the work, it was given out, we believe, that the
monument would be speedily completed by col
lections from the American party councils through
out the Union. This scheme having utterly failed,
, the only alternative now is to reinvest the man
agement in a society independent of all piarties,
and open to subscriptions freely from all parties,
nationalities, sects, and creeds of the American
people and all other people who may choose to
contribute, (for Washington was the benefactor of
mankind ;) or else let the Know Nothing board of
management, without further tinkering, turn over
the work to Congress. We dare say that very
little will be raised for the monument from the
councils of the Order this year, because all their
spare cash will be required to support the newspa
per organs through the dry weather of the ap
proaching summer.
Let the Washington Monument, then, be gn on
up to the American people, irrespective ot nativi
ties. parties, ot sects, or to Congress, to top it out.

True Prayer.
Would you see true prayer—would von know
j what prayer really is ? Step into the’ Egyptian
; palace where Benjamin stands bound,—his amazed
j and trembling brothers grouped around the lad.
I Judah advances. He bows himself before Joseph
; Ilia heart is full. His lip trembles. The tear
I glistens in his manly eye; and now, with tender
j ness thrilling in every tone, he pours forth his plea
! of surpassing pathos ; “Oh, my lord, lei thy ser
i vant, I pray thee, speak a word in my lord’s ears,
■ and let not thine anger burn against thy servant.
! My lord, asked his servant, saying, have ve a la
i tber or a brother? And we said unto my lord,
We have a father, an old man, and a child of his
j old age, a little one ; and his brother is dead; and
i he alone is left of his mother, and his father loved
him.” Thus, on he goes; and every sentence goes
like a knife into Joseph’s heart. And then he
j closes and crowns his appeal with this most brave
! and generous proposal: “Now, therefore, I prav
i thee, let thy servant abide instead of the hut. as
I bondsman to my lord; for how shall 1 go to my
j father and the lad not with me; lest f see the
j evil that shall come upon my father.” Joseph’s
| heart, which has been swelling with emotion, is
! now ready to burst, lie can stand it no longer;
j nor any wonder. That is prayer.
| Two women stand before King Solomon. In (lie
! darkness of the night, one has crept, with noise
less step, to her neighbor’s bed, and while her
mother .slept, and the babe slept on her bosom,
softly, cautiously, she steals the living child, and
leaves her own cold, dead infant in its place. They
carry the dispute to Solomon- each claiming the
living, and each repudiating the dead. With a
skill that earned him his world-wide fame, the
wise monarch summons nature as a witness. Hor
rible to hear, he orders the living child to be divi- i
ded. The sword is raised -another moment, aud j
each mother gets a quivering half—another ino
ment, and interference comes too lale. One stands ;
calm, firm, collected, looking on with a cruel eve. I
With abound that carries her to his feet, and a I
shriek that rings wild and high overall the palace, ;
the other—the true mother —clasps her hands in i
agony, and cries, “Oh, my Lord, give her the liv- i
ing child; in nowise shiv it." That is praver. I
That cry, that spring, that look of anguish -all j
these proclaim the mother.

From St Fktbrsburoh. -We are in the receipt |
of private intelligence from St. Petersburgh, of a ’
reliable character, dated early last month, which !
speaks in decided terms of the surprise which was j
occasioned in that city when it became known j
that the Ausirian propositions had been accepted !
by the Czar as a basis for peace negotiations. The j
announcement at first met with no favor in any
class of society except the mercantile, who natu
rally rejoiced at the prospect of a revival of trade;
but gradually the nobility have become reconciled
to the decision of the Emperor, and peace is now
expected and acquiesced in.
The feeling of hatred which was roused against
the English at the opening of the war, is stili vio
lent. Friendship had too long existed between
the Russian and the English Courts to be served i
with impunity. The hostility of France will soon j
be forgotten, but many Russians who are high in j
rank, do not hesitate to sav, “England we never !
can forgive.” Henceforward they will live in hopes
of taking revenge upon her.
Russia has suffered severely from the war, Initj
less than the Western powers suppose. The in
ternal sources of the country have been much de
veloped within the past two years, and the world
will soon see that Russia is stronger in every par
ticular, than she was before the war eomimiced.

enjoyed a fair degree of animation and a corres
ponding degree of depression. The activity sub
sided on Thursday*, and since then the trade grad
ualh cooled otl, and on Moudav there was not
enough done to merit notice. On to-dav, there was
something of abetter feeling, but still the extent
of business done was very limited.
The Mobile Prices Current, of March Bth. gives
the increase id receipts, at all points, compared
with same time last year, 835,530 bales, and the in
crease of stocks on hand 13,508 bales.
The steady increase of receipts has cheeked busi
ness in the Cotton trade. Buyers are fearful of a
continued increase, while holders seem satisfied
that about the highest point of increase has been
attained. All the rivers in the West arc in fine
boating order, and there has been every facility,
that steamboats and railroads could offer, as well
as good prices, to hasten the crop into market. But
this increase may continue, and the crop may
reach as high a point as the most sanguine have
ever placed it at. Time only can determine.
In the present inactive state of our own market,
we have thought it best not to state quotations
further than to say that buyers seem disposed to
offer 9% for Middling Fair.
BUSINESS.—-In the Grocery and Dry Goods
trade, there has been a very active business during
the past week. Our steamboats and railroads have
been busily employed in bringing forward and car
rying onward goods and produce, and trade gen
erally has been very satisfactory.
SUGAR.-—The stock of Sugar is much larger,
and better selections can be made at this time, than
at the date of our last report. We quote 9to 10 y,
for hhds., and 10 to 12 for Clarified; and 11 to 12%'
cents for Crushed and Powdered.
COFFEE.—This article continues firm, with
rather an upward tendency in prices. We quotp
12}j to 12% for common; 12% to 13 for prime ;
and 13% to 14 for choice. The advance in the
northern markets has stiffened prices here.
NAILS.—We quote from 4% to 5 cents.
SALT.—Sales of several thousand sacks have
been made within the week at rates not made pub- I
lie. The reported sales from wharf, from 81.15 to |
81.20. Selling from stores from |1.37 to 81.50.
MOLASSES.—The supply is considerably on the i
increase; but the stringency of price deters pur- |
chasers. Cuba is quoted at 44 to 46; and New I
Orleans at 48 to 50 cents.
IRISH POTATOES.—SeIIing from $3 to $3.75, j
anil supply good.
MACKEREL.—No. 1, 822, and for half barrels !
812; No. 2, 813, and halves 87 ; No. 3, 87.50, and j
halves 81.25. The prices are stiffer than at lasi |
report.
CORN.—The market is rather better for this j
article than at the date of our last report, although I
it is uncertain to-day that prices are better. The j
demand has improved, and we have heard of no
sales below 00 cents.
OATS.—Last sales reported to us were at 87%, '■
but usual sales at 40 cents.
PEAS.—Buyers are not willing to give over
83 to 85. Retailing at from 90 to 81.00.
FLOUR.—The market is well supplied, autl the j
demand is not equal to the quantity offering ; City ,
Mills, Superfine, 88.50 and Extra 89."A Good !
country brands from 88 to 89.
MEAL.—Worth from 05 to 70 cents.
BUTTER.—Goshen 28 to SO ; and countrv from
15 to 20. |
FOGS.—Large quantities are coming to market, j
and selling from 10 to 12% cents per dozen. The j
latter is the general retail price.
BACON.—There is not a large stock on the mar- |
ket ; hut yd sufficient for the demand. We quote
9% to 10 cents hog round.
LARD.—Selling from 9% to 10%, and for extra
parcels 10% to 11 cents.
WHISKY.---Selling from 48 to 45.
CANDLES.—Adamantine 2s to 80.
BEEVES—SHOATS. Good fat Beeves are worth i
from 5% to t> cents. Shouts averaging from 75 to j
80 pounds, are selling from 7% to 8 cents. The i
market is well supplied, but not with the best ;
of Beeves.
EXCHANGE. -The Banks are drawing on the j
North at %tli premium.
LAND WARRANTS. -There has been a verv
good offering for the past week, but some have j
been rejected on account of informality. The dc- [
maud continues good at our quotations, though the i
market is liable to depression. 120 s, 90c per acre ; j
80s, 95c. per acre; 40s, 8! per acre.

H. G. FARRELL'S
I CELEBRATED ARABIAN LINIMENT.
IIS HIE beautiful arid fertile region skirting the
j M- desert of Arabia, abounds with rare plants
' and odorous woods, whence are procured those aro
matic gums and balsams of which this Liniment is
! composed, and by* whose stimulating, unctuous and
j penetrating properties it is, when applied, diffused \
j through the whole nervous system, allaying the
1 most intense pain in a few minutes. Try* it, when
I you will be convinced that no preparation possesses
i in so high a degree, its perfect anodyne qualities,
j Its action is prompt and effective. It penetrates
j the flesh to the bone, relaxes contracted cords, re
j storing use to limbs paralysed for years, and where
! the flesh has wasted away, leaving nothing but
| skin and bone, excites a healthy action, causing
new flesh to grow out and till iip the shrivelled
j part. It restores the synovial fluid or joint water,
i and this is the reason why it has been"so success-
I ful in diseases of the joints. In affections of the I
j Spine, Liver, Lungs and Kidneys, this great rente- ;
j dv stands before any other ever produced. For !
ague cake or enlargement of the spleen, it is a spe
j cilic. For any internal inflammation, you will find
;it gives great relief. It has no equal'in the world
j for Rheumatism—also, cramps, swelling, numb
ness, weak joints, Spine and Chest, pains, wounds,
j chilblains, burns, sore throat, bites of insects anti
j reptiles, salt rheum, warts, corns, mange, and in
! deed nearly all diseases which require an internal .
; application, and many others, are greatly benefit ted j
I by it. It is used externally with great success in j
| goitre, or swelled neck, Scrofula or King's Evil, [
Liver Complaint, nervous diseases, Ac. For Horses I
i or Cattle, it is as effectual as in diseases of man. I
j Will cure any ease of Sweeney in existence ; also, j
j Spavin, Splint, Ringbone, Big-head, Fistula, Farcy', i
Poll Evil, Windgalls, Strains, Bruises, Ac. ’ ’ !
Look out for Counterfeits !
The public are cautioned against another coun- j
forfeit, which has lately made its appearance, called !
W. B. Farrell’s Arabian Liniment, the most dan- j
gerous of all the counterfeits, because his having I
the name of Farrell, many will buy it in good |
faith, without the knowledge that a counterfeit ex- j
ists, and they will perhaps only discover their error j
when the spurious mixture has wrought its evil i
effects.
