Anxious to do our part ill preserving the liberties of the people, and the institutions of the South, by elevat ing to office in evorv department of the Government, good and true Democrats, who will insist upon a rigid adherence to the Constitution, we offer the WEEKLY TIMES AND SENTINEL. for cash in advance, as follows : $ ets. One copy till 2d week in October, 50 Five copies, “ “ “ 2 00 Ten copies, “ “ “ 4 00 Twenty copies, “ “ “ 7 00 Fifty copies, “ “ “ 15 00 One hundred copies “ “ 25 t 0 We are just entering upon a canvass in which a Governor, members of Congress, members of the Leg islature, Judges of the Superior Courts, and a United States Senator will be elected. Every man in Georgia is deeply interested in the result. The contest will, therefore, be n stirring one, and afford abundant mate rial for thought and discussion. We will spare no labor to make our paper the vehi cle of the fullest information upon all points discussed, and the earliest and most reliable news from all points of the State during the canvass. Every eitizefris interested in the political opinions of his neighbor. His vote affects his life, liberty and property. We will devote our entire energies to the advocacy of the claims of the Democratic candidates, under the full conviction that the freedom of the States and the preaervation of the Union are involved in the success o{ Democratic principles. The New Party—Mr. Toombs’ Speech. On Wednesday night last, the lion. Robert Toombs addressed a large and attentive audience in Temperance Hall, in support of the Platform of principles erected by him at Milledgeville, at the late Whig Gubernatorial Convention. The speech was an able one, and was well received by all parties, lie denounced both the Whig and Democratic National organizations as cor rupt, and this may in part account for the very kind reception given to the speech. When the eloquent speaker “woke up” the Democracy the applause was “uprourLus,” but as he m§de it a principle throughout his discourse to strike right and left and give the Whigs a blow immediately after he had done with the Demo crats, the latter took up the applause of the Whigs be fore it died away, and paid them back in their own coin ——good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over. The scene was ludicrous, if not instruc tive. Wo will not attempt to give even a synopsis of Mr. Toombs’ remarks. We will, however, glance at some of his positions. He took for his starting point the cor ruptions of both the old Whig and Democratic parties. He denounced Internal Improvements, excessive tariffs and the wasteful extravagance of the Federal Govern ment in language as broad as was ever applied to them by a Calhoun Democrat. He apprehended great dan ger to the South from the continued agitation of the i ■lavery question at the North and from the meddlesome interference of foreign powers. There was now', he | said, no danger to the Union; that was secured by the i compromise; but there was stiirmuch danger to the j South, and he would not consent to disband the Geor gia platform party until her rights were secured. lie therefore called on Whigs and Democrats, Union men and Southern Rights men, to join him in this good work, and pledged himself never to desert the flag until victo ry perched upon the standard. In reply to the charge of being sectional, he said, “no man could be sectional w ? ho stood upon constitutional principles,” and thereby, in our humble judgment, ac quitted the Southern Rights Party of all error in their earnest endeavors to save the South from ruin by main taining at all hazards her constitutional rights. He very warmly commended President Pierce’s In augural, and still acknowledged that the sentiments therein expressed met his cordial approbation. Presi dent Pierce, however, had forfeited the confidence of the South by appointing Free Seilers to office, both at home and abroad. He made the bold declaration, that every one of our Foreign Ministers were committed to the extermination of slavery, except Soule, and him he denounced as a French Red Republican. We are w ill ing to allow’ very great latitude to a stump speaker, but ■uch a broad assertion as the one above referred to would better become a cross-road politician whose igno tance would excuse him, than the Senator of Georgia. Surely no sane man believes that James Buchanan is an abolitionist, or is in the least infected with abolition fanaticism. He attempted to palliate his support of Fillmore’s ad ministration by asserting that he denounced and disap proved of his Free Soil appointments. If this is a good excuse in his mouth, it will surely acquit the supporters of Pierce of all blame—especially when it is recollected that Fillmore had three Free Soiiers in his cabinet to Pierce’s one, and the same excess in all the other offi ces in the gift of the President. But we must beg leave to say if that Mr. Toombs did denounce Mr. Fill more’s administration for any thing of the sort, lje must have chosen a very retired place for this exercise, as we have never before heard of it, and we presume it would be news to Fillmore, for whose nomination to the Pres idency, we understand, Mr. Tcombs was a very zealous advocate. Upon the whole, however, we were much pleased with Mr. Toombs’ speech. We differ with him in many of his specifications, but entirely concur with him in every general principle laid down by him. Indeed, his speech was but anew edition abridged of the speech es of Southern Rights men during the exciting canvass upon the compromise ]ssues. We bid him, therefore, - God speed in his noble task of infusing sound Southern Rights principles into the minds and hearts of his fob lowers. It he shall succeed, we mav hope that, in the uture conflict which is sore to arise between the Federal Government and tl.e South on the question of slavery, Georgians will all be united i„ ,l le defence of their altars and firesides. Mr. fv)ombs occupies a very commanding position Wore tho oogntry. If he will boneativ, and in good fatth, place humelf in the lead of Southern sentiment; .. * Wl ‘h® fnl! measure of £ outhern Rights; * T W * °Ppose twrifig, whether protective or exces ’ 1 otarrial Improvement by the Federal Govern ment, all wasteful expenditures, either of land or money j —if be will stand upon State Rights and there battle for 1 our homes and firesides, he will take the place of Cal houn, and rally to his standard every honest and true man in the South. God grant that he may have the virtue to tread this rugged road. Before, however,he can ■ccupy this lofty eminence he must free his mind from the bias of party prejudice, and all the hollow and deceitful arts of the demagogue and pursue truth for the : love of it, and loose himself in his devotion to his coun try. The leader of the South must rise above the sus | picion of selfish considerations. It will require time to enable him to accomplish this great work. His antece dents are not calculated to inspire public confidence. To him and his colleague, A. 11. Stephens, are we in debted for the defeat of the Clayton compromise. They then took the high ground that the Mexican law abol ishing slavery must be repealed before they would con sent to the establishment of Territorial Governments in the territory acquired from Mexico. But they forfeited j all the confidence which these lofty pretensions inspired, by sanctioning the compromise—by the bitter hostility which they cherished for the Southern Rights party— j and by their support of Fillmore’s administration. Their object was the success of their party, and not the safety of the South. It is now feared that Mr. Toombs has been driven upon Southern ground by the hopeless de feat and dismemberment of the Whig party, especially at the South, and that he only designs by his present lofty pretensions to carry the election in Georgia in October. We hope better things, j The meeting went oft* well until the close. — After Mr. Toombs sat dowm a zealous Whig arose and proposed three cheers for Charles J, Jen kins. One voice cried out, “whoo-vve,” and a dead silence settled over the audience. The old gentleman w'as much astonished at his reception, and gradually sunk to his seat, mumbling, “I believe it is a failure. ” Whether he designed his remark to apply to ; his proposition, the speech of Mr Toombs, or the nomi ■ nation of Jenkins, we are not called on to determine. We think it applicable to all. A Screw Loose. The disruption and tumbling to pieces of the old Whig party of Georgia, which is now taking place at the command of its masters, Messrs. Toombs and Ste phens, uttered at the Milledgeville Convention, last week, presents some curious points for reflection, as well as amusement. Just to think of the great Whig party —the handiwork of the fiery and eloquent Clay, and the profound and massive Webster—stabbed to death in “the house of its friends and falling without a groan of regret or a struggle of resistance from one of its friends—and the deed done publicly, the dagger | driven home by the Siamese Twins of Whiggery in the | Capitol of the State of Georgia. Why, sirs, the death !of Caesar, in the Senate House, was nothing to it; and poor old superannuated and decrepid Whiggery keels | over and gives up the ghost, like some brute beast I knocked on the head ; without the courage to wrap its | mantle around it to die with dignity—or the spirit to I exclaim, El Tu, Bob and Aleck ! They killed it “dead —stone-dead, sir,” as old Bul lion says. Witness the following resolution of the Con vention that nominated Mr. Jenkins. Mr. Jenkins who composed the “Georgia platform” of 1850, and the Algerine Law of an earlier date : Resolved, That in the of this Convention, both the Whig and Democratic parties of the United States have been faithless to their oft repeated pledges of economy in the expenditure of the public money, and that we view with great alarm and disapprobation the partial, unefual and unjust appropriation of the public lands to internal improvements in particular States, and of a local charac ter ; and of the public money to wild, reckless and gigantic schemes ofinternai improvement, intended for the promotion of particular interests lather than the general benefit of those wno bear the burthen of Taxation. Is not this a murder “most foul”—is it not a bloody putting to death of the political mammy at whose breast Whiglings for twenty years have tugged, until having become as dry as a powder horn, this horrid matricide has been perpetrated ? But it seems that this deed was unexpected by some of the faithful Whigs—or at least, they were not let into the secret of the purposes of the Imperial brothers. I For on the 7th inst., at a Whig party meeting in Baker j county, of this State, we read some resolutions, expressing 1 the utmost reverence for and an unbounded attachment ! to the dear old Whig mother, who had done so much ! in times past, and to whom they yet looked for the j regeneration and salvation of the country. Can you fancy the cruel sufferings of these Baker county Whigs j when they find that the object of their idolatry has been ! slaughtered by the high Priests who have longest offi ! dated at its altars l Read these resolutions and com pare them with those at Milledgeville—and tell us, do these two conventions belong to the same party ; or is the Whig party really no moie ? The following Preamble and Resolutions were then read and unanimously adopted by the meeting: Whereas, we as a portion of the Whig Party of Baker county, adopt this occasion to express our continued faith in the principles and measures of the Whig Party, and our determination to abide and support those measures in the I approaching campaign for Governor and members to Con ; giess, from this district. And Whereas, we regard the principles of that party as sound, conservative and national, tending to the pre servation of our Union as it l?. the ]>rosperiiy and equali zation of all classes, and the promotion of peace through out the whole civilized world. Resolved, Therefore that we will cheerfully and heartily support the nominees of the Whig Paity for Governor, and ! Congress from this district, by the respective Conventions for the purposes aforesaid , In the meantime, we beseech the new party that has sprung up like a Phoenix from the blood and ashes of departed and slaughtered Whiggery, to agree upon a handle tu its name. We must have something to call it by, and know it bv. We cannot call it “a portion of the people of Georgia, who,” <fee., Arc., for a half col umn in a newspaper. We cannot call it the “Jenkins party.” It would be mournful and sepulchral to call it the “Toombs party.” The “Stephens party” won’t do, for it signifies nothing ; they will be angry, if we call it the “Algeriue party ’ —-the “conservative party” is a title only adapted by a few of them, and, the truth is, the sponsors forgot to name the brat—and here it is be fore the world, a wandering little animal—a stranger begging every body to “take it in”—a “Japhet in search of a father.” Won't somebody christen the \ thing l Its friends have the first right to give it a name —if they do not exercise it, its enemies—the foes of humbug, deceit and hypocrisy—will be very apt to dis cover a suitable patronymic for it. It is a little curious that we find these two sets of resolutions side by side in the columns of the last En- • quirer —presenting quite as remarkable and unique a contradiction as that of the Editorial of our neighbor in : the same paper, “pitching into” the disunionists, in | amicable juxtaposition to that other resolution of its Milledgeville convention, squinting awfully at a South ern Rights flurry and disunion rumpus. Really, our j neighbor will have to “mend his lick,” and get anew set of pip< s; and we trow, the public will be gainers by it, for that bagpipe squeak of his about a “shattered union,” &e., &e t , has become terribly monotonous and tirefcome. The Rail Road to Eufaula, | We learn from the Spirit of the South that the town council of Eufaula has subscribed $20,000 to the Railroad connecting that place with the Girard Rail j road. Some time since we learned that $60,000 had been subseribered by private individuals in the town alone. This is a good beginning. Now is the time for our city and citizens to act. Many of our wealthiest citizens have plantations below. If proper exertions are made by our Eufaula friends, we are satisfied that they would all make very liberal subscriptions. We there fore suggest, that a committee be appointed to solicit ! aid in this noble enterprise. No time ough! to be lost, i I ns many of our citizens will leave very shortly for the j 1 North. We presume the road will either ruu by Glennville to Villula, or along the banks of the liver up to Fort Mitchell—and that the amount subscribed along either route will determine the location. We believe one | j hundred thousand dollars could be raised in this city alone for the liver route. Let Glennville, therefore, ! look to her interests, or she will inevitably be passed by, | and a rival town be built on the road which will un- j dermine her prosperity. Criminal Causes. The State, vs. Neal, a slave, the property of Chas. i Fisher. —Murder. ‘ This cause came on for trial on Wednesday last. The Solicitor General for the State, and Messrs. A. Me ; Dougala and R. Emmett Dixon, Esqrs., for the defence. Neal was charged with the murder of Philip, a slave, the property also of Chas. Fisher. After a full and patient investigation of the cause, the jury returned a 1 , verdict of “Guilty of Manslaughter.” The punishment annexed to the offence is whipping and branding. i Ist District. Mr. Bartow declines being a candidate for Congress • | in the Ist Congressional District. Hamden’s Express. We are indebted to Mr. Fotts, the agent of Ilarn- | den’s Express, for New York papers in advance of the | j mail.

A dispatch from Cin cinnati says the thermometer, at 3 o'clock on Monday 1 afternoon, 20th, stood at 100 in the shade in that city, j and ranged from 88 to 0(5 during all of last week. At : Wheeling, on the same day, it rose to 98 ; at Pittsburg ‘ ito 90, and at Boston to 93 degrees In Philadelphia, j at noon on Tuesday 21st., it stood at 9(5, and it is stated j would have gone up as high as 100 had not a good j breeze of wind prevailed. In New York, on the j ! same day, the thermometer was up to 90, which was j I 9 degrees higher then on the same day last year, : I and more oppressive and suffocating than any 2lst of June for the lost ten years. At Harrisburg, Pa ,on Monday and Tuesday, the thermometer ranged from 95 to 98 deg. At Hagerstown, Md-, on Monday, the I thermometer ranged from 90 to 99, and at Frederick, ! Md., from 95 to 100 cUg.

The Vote for the City Subscription. The vote of the real estate holders on Monday in favor of the subscription of-$500,000 to the Gulf Railroad, was overwhelming—in fact, ap proaching nearly to unanimity. The vote in the several wards was, For the subscription .... 18,171 Against it 650 17.521 Such was the general certainty of its adoption, that many of those in favor of it, and to whom the attendance at the polls was inconvenient from other engagements, did not take the trouble to vote. The condition of the subscription is, that an equal sum of $500,000 should he raised in Ala bama. Os this, $200,000 has been taken by citizens’ private stock, and 8200,000 by the Montgomery and West Point Railroad, leaving but SIOO,OOO to be supplied to make the million. Os this sum the guaranties are ample, and the Directors will commence work at once. These arrangements are such as will enable them to prosecute their work with great rapidity, and in the course of sixteen months the iron horse will make its winged, continuous flight between this point and the Gulf in six hours. We have never seen more enthusiasm in auv project, o a more determined spirit put ir through at once. [Aft/, Journal. To the Hon. Robert Toombs. Dear Sir : — Circumstances beyond my control de prived me of the pleasure of hearing your speech at Tem perance Hall, Columbus, on the night of the 29th June, but I have conversed with many who heard it, and they all agreed that had it been delivered in 1850, it would have been the best Southern Rights speech of the memo rable campaign in which you and your colleague did such valliant battle against our party. In 1850, the great battle fought by Southern Democ racy was misunderstood by the masses, and this misunder j standing was in a great degree attributable to the fact, that you and your colleague, A. 11. Stephens, induced 1 the people to believe that our object was to dissolve the j Union, when in truth, it was on our part an effort to save the Union by preserving the rights of the Southern section. We believed that their violation and the perpetuity of the Union were inconsistent, that unless the l ights of the South were vindicated from the misrule of the hour, that I sooner or later, a separation must inevitably take place; we believed that the safety of the South was dependent upon itself, and that it could only unite in its own de fence by a total separation from both of the National par ties. You believed that to form a sectional party was to array the North against us, dissolve the confederacy and entail ruin upon ourselves and posterity. You pointed us to the national arm for safety, we preferred io rely up.-, on ourselves; you appeared before the people, and the; burden of your song was the Eulogy of Fillmore and Web ster, and tiie deep and bitter hatred ol Calhoun, whose j | principles you are now endeavoring to inculcate into the I ; minds of your hearers. You say now, that you will never support any National : party that appoints Free sobers and Abolitionists to of- i fiee. You, who two years since supported Fillmore’s administration with Tom Corwin au unblushing Free soiler in tiis cabinet. Fillmore 1 owing his own political ; elevation to the undoubted evidences of Freesoilism that • marked his whole political course. At a later period _ou ! advocated Webster’s nomination tor the Presidency, well J knowing that he boasted of no prouder claim to political ! distinction than his consistent opposition to the admission ! of an additional inch of slave territory to our National do | mail), and only waived the Wilmot Proviso in the Mexico | and Utah bills, because de believed the country unfitted | for slave labor, and that the insertion of the Proviso | would be to inflict an unnecessary insult upon the South. 1 With these antecedents, you may very well imagine that your present course is looked upon with more or less sur prise by those who yet smart under the bitter denuncia” I tion which you were pleased in no measured terms to lav- I isb upon them for the advocacy of the very doctrines which | you to-day proclaim to be proper for the adoption of the | South. It is to be regretted that you had not brought your ! powerful influence to their support, when two-thirds of the ! Democrats and a respectable minority of the Whigs had al ‘ ready abandoned all National organizations, dropped all par ! ty distinctions, and rallied as one man to the formation of a | new party, whose first object should be to protect the ! rights of the South in the Union, never for a moment ! contemplating its dissolution, unless the extreme measure I should be rendered necessary by the fact appearing that j in the Union these rights could no longer be maintained. I If you are sincere in your present position, as I truly I hope you are, it must be a matter of deep regret to you to know that you have driven into a National organization thousands who with their lives would have sustained the platform upon which you now stand. Would you denounce Democrats for going back to their party allegiance when you used your successful efforts to prevent a majority of the State from uniting as a party in dependent of either of the National political organiza tions. Surely not ; they tried to form au independent party. 1 You and your friends defeated them, and left them in the J presidential election the alternative of voting for Scott or • Fierce ; you did not vote for either, nor did I. You would | have voted for Webster or Fillmore, and in doingso, let me j ask you v. on which of their antecedents you would have ! predicate* n opinion that they would not have endanger ied the Uni by appointing Free Soiiers and Abolitionists ! to office ? That they would have been more southern than Frank j lin Pierce, when you review your course for the last two | years', I think that you will allow that it. requires eonsid ! erable faith to rely upon your sincerity ; yet, sir, 1 for one, I and I know there are many others in this county Whigs j and Democrats who desire to join just sue h a party as that i which you profess to advocate, but we are a little fearful I that after we have joined, you may change your opinions ; and leave us the rank and file without a leader. This you ! will * admit. I say the least of it, would be to us an awkward predicament., to it is our present position, the great Southern Rights Party of which we were zealous members : have left us with its principles while the party iseif don | ning the Democratic uniform revels at the National feast, j Our great object was not disunion but the formation of a ! party that would see Southern Rights vindicated. We be- ; lieved and still believe that if the South would unite upon such ground that there is a conservative minority at the North, in combination, large enough to control the govern ment and bring it back to its proper sphere, the equal pro : lection and advancement of ti e interest of all sections of tho United States, withhout regard to the lattitude of j its location or the domestic institutions that it may approve or condemn. Then,sir, all that we want to know iswheth | es you (of course we cannot expect you to answer for oth- \ 1 ers) stand pledged to oppose every National party that will i not give assurance of maintaining the Milledgeville reso j lotions ; if so thert; are many of ns who will fight under \ your banner so long as you adhere to your present pro -1 session.” A SOUTHERN RIGHTS MAN. The Meeting at Brunswick. We learn that the meeting of Ihe stockholders of the Brunswick and Florida Rail Road Company, on the 23d inst,, was numerously attended by Dele gates from Baker, Thomas, Lowndes, Ware, Clin ch, Wayne, and other counties. The amount of stock subscribed is about $1,700,000, of which $1 ,- 300,0(0 was represented. The Georgia subscrip tions were increased during (lie meeting sllO,- 000. No doubt seems to exist now in regard to the comjj pletion of the work. miles of the track have been graded ; and the iron, a heavy T rail, nas been laid upon five miles. The contractors pledge them selves to have thirty miles of the road, as far as the Satilla river, completed by the Ist of January. The planters of Lowndes, Thomas. Clinch and; Baker, we learn, have agreed io grade the road through their respective counties,-and to take stock notes in payment for the work. Twenty-four nnles of the road were let upon these conditions during the past week, and we are ii formed that the entire line will be placed under contract at an early day. The Cana! will be completed in about sixty days. After which time, the force now employed upon j that work will be transferred to th road.— Sov. I Courier. Pickens county, Alabama, is picking a fu rious quarrel with M'\ Hewlett, a Temperance lec turer. The ‘Tuscaloosa Monitor states that the latter is charged with having asserted, in one of his lectures in Athens, Georgia, that of ail creation, Pickens county was the place that the Creator had taken the least pains in making. He further asserted that he was present at a session of the Ci cuit Court in that couty, w hen (to quote Mr. Hew lett’s words as alleged) “the judge, jury an** lawyers, ail were drunk- ’ Justice, lie said, was proverbially blind, but in Pickens she was moreover blind drunk. He is said to have made sundry other charges against the reputation of the county, all of which are re garded as downright slanders-, inasmuch as h is said to be a well ascertained fact that upon the occasion alluded to, the whole of the jury were not drunk, and some of the lawyers were known to have gone home sober ! 03“A few daysago in the eastern district of Maine a woman was elected by the people, Register of Deeds, in place < f irl Coomb, deceased.

Abercrombie—The Macon Republican and the Spirit of the South, There is so much good sense and genial humor in the following article that we transfer it entire to our columns and cordially commend it to otu Alabama readers: [From tlic Spirit of the South,! Let ’em Wriggle. The Macon Republican has been engaged for eev. eral weeks in cutting a series of preposterous an tics, which throw the most brilliant feats of ground and lofty tumbling and the most astounding sports of the ring quite into the shade. First, it was pro foundly mortified at the course of Capt. Abr icrom bie in refusing a whig nomination and predicted hi* certain defeat. Then however it concluded to make a virtue of necessity and hoist his name. But the next week his name had disappeared and the anxious public v\ etc informed that the reasons would be given in the next issue. But !o ! ihe next week came and brought no light, tho editor doubtless concluding wiih Falstaff that though reasons were as plenty as blackberries, he wouid riot give one upon compulsion. At last however he allows the name which had been removed, to resume its place, stating that although there are still some points of difference between the editor and Capt. Abercrombie, the former is satisfied after a further correspondence and a personal interview that he ought to be supported. More than two months ago in view of Capt. Aber crombie’s refusal to support Gen. Scott and his avowed determination not to submit his claims to a Whig Convention, as well as of his opinions freely expressed in conversation, we came to the conclu sion that, our political friends ought not to oppose his re-election, He declared himself opposed to a reorganization of ihe Whig party, —in favor of re ducing the tariff to the wants of an economical gov ernment, and determined to judge the adm uistra tiou of Gen.JPierce by its acts, supporting it w hen right and condemning it w hen wrong. In reference to future northern aggressions he took the highest ground. Under these circumstances, we could not under stand that it was any part of mir duty as S ’*liiern Rights men to aid the Scott whigs in -aking down Capt. Abercrombie for an uuquesw .. e act of fidelity to his section, nor could we see <- v prac tical issue involved in a contest between him and the gentleman w ho was proposed as his c< nipetiior. Opposition, therefore, we thought, would ..ore ap propriately come from the whig re-organizers,w hom our late representative had baffled and defied, than ; from any other quarter. The opinions which we then attributed to him 1 have been repeatedly endorsed by Capt. Abererorn- J bie. We have the very best reasons for knowing that the correspondence w r ith the Macon Republi can so far from retracting, expressly reaffirms them : and we ask no better evidence than wehavc, for the assertion, that nothing has been said or done incompatible with them. We understand well why the Macon Republican desites now to provoke u ‘ into opposition, but u'e assure him that if he is sat isfied with those “three” letters, so are we. We understand well the unpleasant process to which the Scott whig re-organizeri- : . district have been subjected. A little while back and they ) ruled the district with a rod of iton. They said . > this one “go,” and he went; and to another, “stay,’ and he staid ; but now one is going, who denoun ced their candidate for President, who despised i their conventions, who opposes their darl’iDg scheme ol re-oigamzation. They never concluded to tole rate him, until they found themselves too weak to destroy him. Right over their heads is he going, in defiance of their predictions, in utter disregard of their advice and rinioDstrances, and soon there will be none so poor to do them reverence. We repeat it, if they can stand it, we can. Like the old tanner, who, when his learned fiicnd exhibited the living creatures in the cheese that he was ea ting, through a m croscope, andjeried, “don’t eat it, uncle Ben, don’t you see ’em squirm and wriggle.” “Let ’em wriggle,” said the old phib sopher, I ’’taking another bile, “they have got the worst of it, and if they can stand it, I can,” and deliberately finished his meal. So say we. The whig re-organizers have got the worst of it, and we cannot find it in our hearts to deny them the poor privilege of wriggling. Let ’em wiiggle. If they can stand it, we can.
