So MUCH- FOK WASHINGTONIASM. —
I The Bangor Gazette says, we were)
I stopped in the street the other day by a
Washingtonian friend, who remarked)
I that he was building a house. On our
| expressing some surprise, he added, that j
I since he had joined the Washingtonian
! Society, two years ago, he had put into
J his money box the sum of two hundred,
j dollars, which, had he not become a
I Washingtonian, would have gone —and;
I he pointed his finger significantly to-;
f wards his mouth. He then related an
incident which is worth recording. We!
will give it as near as possible in his own
words.
j “ A short time since an acquaintance
from the country, with whom I had been
formerly accustomed to drink, brought
me some lumber for my house. Before
settling, he asked me to go v* ith him to
set something to drink.
‘Very well,’ said I.
We then went into a place where li
quor is sold, and he called for that which
| suited him, and he asked me what I
would take.
‘A glass of water,’ said I.
‘ What, you are not a Washingtonian.’
‘You will think so, when you see the
money with which I shall pay you.
I then took from my pocket thirty se
ven dollars in four-ha’pennies, and paid
him. You never saw a man so aston
ished. He put his glass upon the coun
ter and left it untasted.
As may be supposed, we left our friend
gratified with such effects of Washing
tonianism. Wp had not gone far before
we fell in with another Washingtonian
friend, who wished to take the Gazette
and pay for it in his work. He was a
shoemaker. He remarked that, as he
was repairing a house he had recently
purchased, it was difficult to get money
for other purposes than that. On ma
king inquiry in regard to his prosperity
since he became a Washingtonian, he
said that wo might judge what it was.—
He had purchased a lot of land for S2OO
—a building for $50 —had paid $25 for
removing it, and was now fitting it up.
These two men we're among the first
members of the Bangor Washingtonian
.Society, and when they became so, were
verily ‘ subjects.’ We have no doubt
that many of their brethren in the city
can give as good account of themselves
as they. ‘so much for Wushingtonian
ism.
Highly Impobtaxt!— lrish Repeal
Movement. —The Acadia steamer, with
Liverpool dates of the 19th ult., brings
intelligence of the deepest interest to the
friends of Ireland in this country. It
seems the movements on the subject of
Repeal have almost lost their peaceful
character, and that force will in all pro
bability have to be resorted to in order to
quiet excitement and maintain the En
glish ascendency. The quarrel is purely
of a domestic character, and we are at a
loss to perceive the propriety of public
meetings in this country expressive of
sympathy for men and measures, which
we could not aid even in extremities
without a violation of national faith, and
without rendering ourselves liable to a
similar interference from abroad on the
subject of domestic slavery.
Ireland deserves assistance, and we
hope her gallant sons will, at no distant
day, be in a situation not only to receive
it, but to prove by their own firmness
and energy, that it will be better for
England to grant their petitions than to
attempt to enforce a union, which was
obtained by treachery and must be ce
mented by blood.
Milner’s News Letter contains the
following :
The subject o f the Repeal of the Union
is becoming, in Ireland, one of great and
rapidly increasing importance— and it
is exciting, not only the attention but the
alarm of the British government. Mr.
O Connell has been at home, organizing
his plans for moving his countrymen,
and has succeeded successfully. The
Catholic Clergy have joined the move
ment in great numbers. Tens of thous
ands are congregated at Mr. O’Connell’s I
beck, and the country is in the same i
fearful state of agitation as in 1829. To
arrest this disorganization, the Duke of ■
Wellington in the upper, and Sir Robert i
Peel in the lower House, have declared i
their intention of putting down the Re- l
peal agitation— by force, if necessary. I
' The movement is as odious in England
!asit is popular in Ireland. Meanwhile,
Mr O’Connell has hurled defiance at his
assailants, and in terms more energetic
i than polite, dares them to the conflict.
Troops are pouring daily into Ireland,
| and that unhappy land seems destined to
! continue what it has been—a prey to con
tending factions and angry passions.
| At the meeting of the Repeal Association
!on Monday, the amount of the weekly
j “rent,” ending the 15th, was declared to
| be J 6296, which Mr. O’Connell calls the
■“Peel and Wellington contribution.”
O’Connell’s language is daily becoming
bolder, and he evidently feels the eleva
tion to which he has been restored by the
injudicious declarations of the English
Cabinet. He says in effect that he will
obey the law as it stands, but if new and
unconstitutional enactments are to be en
forced against the repeal movements, he
will resist them by force, if necessary.
It seems, according to the declaration of
one of the Catholic bishops, that the
whole of that body in Ireland, without
an exception, are in favor of the Repeal
movement.
On the 9th ult., in answer to an in
quiry from Lord Jocelyn, as to what
were the intentions of the Government j
with respect to the maintenance of the
Irish L T nion, Sir Robert Peel, in a most
solemn and emphatic manner, declared
himself authorized by her Majesty to re
peat the language employed by the
crown on this subject, in a speech which
was delivered trom the throne during the
administration of Earl Grey, and which
expressed the most resolute determina
tion to uphold the union. The present
government, he said, would exercise for
this purpose all the powers vested in them
under the existing law; and though not
desirous of disparaging the constitution
by applying for new and extraordinary
powers until those of existing law should
be found practically insufficient, they
would not hesitate, should that insuffi
ciency become apparent, to appeal to
Parliament for such enactments as would
effectually obviate the evil ; for they
were persuaded that the object attempted
was not merely, as some called it, the re
peal of a statute, but the dismemberment
of the empire. The application to Par
liament, should it come to be necessary,
would be made, he was sure, with the
greatest success, in consequence of the
forbearance of ministers to make it until
the necessity should have been manifes
ted by experience of the inadequacy of
the existing law.
A great number of Repeal meetings
continue to be held in various parts of
Ireland. Two of the most striking were
those on the 4th at Sligo, and on the 7th
on the Curragh of Kildare, both attended
bv Mr. O’Connell. The number at the
Sligo meeting is not stated, but it ap.
pears to have been a very large one in
spite of bad weather—and at the latter it
is supposed there were from 60,000 to
70,000 present. The Mayor presided,
and Mr. R. D. Brown, M. P., and Mr.
J. P. Somers, M. P., were in Mr. O’-
Connell’s train. Afterward one hundred
and seventy Repealers of Sligo enter
tained Mr. O’Connell at a banquet at
the Hibernia Hotel. The meeting at
Kildare, far exceeded in numbers that at
the time of George the Fourth’s visit,
“long considered to bear away the palm
from all Irish assemblies.” A large;
force of soldiers and police were concen
trated in the neighborhood—but the
meeting was most orderly. After the
meeting, Mr. O’Connell and Mr. Steele
were entertained at a public dinner in the
Strand House. The number of troops
in Ireland is in progress of increase.
A battalion of the 00th Rifles had arrived
at Dublin; two other regiments were
expected from England ; and three in i
Ireland, under orders of removal to Eng
land, have been directed to remain.
Schools of Dissipation.— Those per- ;
sons who have young men entrusted to j
their care, cither as clerks, or to learn
trades, have great responsibilities resting
upon them, though many do not seem to j
think so. All they seem to care for is i
to have them do their day’s work. There j
is no exertion made to instill into their j
minds correct principles, or to direct them !
in a course of conduct calculated to make j
them good men. On the contrary, they
are permitted to spend their evenings as
they think proper; and in the large cities,
here is one of the most fruitful sources of
dissipation and crime.
In every city there are low grog-shops
which derive their principal support from
young men under twenty-one years of
age. Gambling, and almost every species
of vice and immorality is practised in
these dens—and thousands of our pau
pers and prisoners owe their degraded
condition to the baneful influence which
they exert upon society.
If a young man, possessing the most
scrupulous morals, comes to the city from
the country, ten chances to one but he
is soon enticed from the paths of recti-;
tude by his shop-mates, or fellow-appren- j
tices, and becomes an adept in drinking,
[ profanation, and rowdyism of every des
, cription.
i It is the duty of those having appren
: tices to keep a watchful eye over them,
and enforce good habits, just the same as
, though they were their own children,
i It is at this period that young men often
| receive impressions which give a direc
tion to their future lives. Parents should
1 1 be careful with whom they entrust their
children, and even when satisfied that
i their employers are the best of men, they
• should not fail to keep a watchiul eye
upon them also.
; To young men we would say, avoid
low company. Shun the grog-shop and j
gambling table ! Spend your idle time
in improving the mind, and laying up
stores of knowledge which will be useful
in after years. Strive to perfect your
• I selves in the particular branches of busi
■ i ness which it may be your lot to follow,
. and you will become useful and respect
s able citizens. —[Organ Sf Wash.

I A Cautious Judge.—The late Chief
I Baron O’Grady, father of the gallant offi
| cer. (Lord Guillimore,) Aid-de-camp to
her Majesty, tried two most notorious fcl
j lows, at the Carlow assizes, for highway
j robbery. To the astonishment of the
, I Court, as well as of the prisoners them
' selves, they were found not guilty. As
I they were being removed from the bar,
. j the judge, in that manner so peculiarly
. his own, addressing the jailer said, “Air.
, | Murphy, you would greatly case my
. | mind, if you keep these two respectable
,! gentlemen until seven or half past seven
. | o’clock ; for I mean to set out for Dublin
! at five, and I should like to have at least
. j two hours start of them.”
1 Gold Reports.—-Messrs. Varnum &
■ Moss, last week dug out one hundred
1 and forty pennyweights of gold with
seven hands. The same gentlemen
week before last with twelve hands made
over three hundred pennyweights. Ma
king about five hundred pennyweights
| in the two weeks.
We have the promise of a report from
the mine of Mr. J. Mills in future. He
informs us that his mine averages near a
pennyweight per day, sometimes it ex
-1 cecds this.
Some very rich surface rock were
’ found last week on Mr. Flemming’s lot
by Messrs. Griffin, Flemming, and Wil
‘ lis J. Milner.
Messrs. Bedfords dug out in the past
, week, with ten hands, one hundred and
j thirty-five pennyweights. —Dahlonega

DOMESTIC DEPARTMENT.
Knowing the importance of recipes
, for domestic matters, to country house
wiles especially who have not access to
i books, we have determined to appropri
ate a portion of our columns weekly to
this purpose. We will glean from every
quarter, and have no doubt that in the
course of the year we shall be able to
gather much that will not only be new,
but interesting and valuable, to a portion
of our readers.
Pui u Paste.—To a pound and a quar
ter of sifted flour, rub gently in with the
| hand half a pound of fresh butter; mix
jup with half a pint of spring water;
knead it well, and set it by for about an
hour in a cold place ; roll it of moderate
thickness, put on patty-pans to bake with
such fruit as you have; lay pieces of any
shape across the top, or not, as suits
your fancy. In small pans fill up with
preserves after they are done: bake of a
' light brown. —Southern Gardener.
Rolls.—Three pints of flour sifted,
j two tea-spoonfuls of salt, four table
j spoonfuls of the best brewer’s yeast, or
i six of home-mafle yeast, a pint of luke
warm water, half a pint more of warm
i water, and a little more flour to mix in
i before the kneading. Mix the salt with
! the flour, and make a deep hole in the
j middle. Stir the warm water into the
; yeast, and pour it into the hole in the
flour. Stir it with a spoon just enough
to make a thin batter, and sprinkle some
flour over the top. Cover the pan, and
set it in a warm place for several hours.
When it is light add half a pint more of
lukewarm water, and make it, with a lit
tle more flour, into a dough. Knead it
very well for ten minutes. Then divide
it into small pieces, and knead it sepa
rately. Make into round cakes or rolls.
Cover them, and set them to rise about ’
an hour and a half. Bake them, and
when done let them remain in the oven, i
without the lid, for about ten minutes. ' j
[lbid.
I :
To make an Apple Pie.—Make a
good puff-paste crust; lay seine around
■ j the sides of the dish; pare and cut your
apples, and stew them; put on a thick
layer of apples; throw in half the sugar
! you design for your pie ; make a little
orange peel fine; squeeze and throw
over them a little of the orange juice,
then a few cloves, then the rest of your
! apples and sugar. You must sweeten
ito your taste. Boil the pealing of the
! apples and the cores in fair water, with a
blade of mace till it is very good. Strain
it and boil the syrup with a little sugar
| till there is but very little and good.
Pour it into your pie, put on your upper
crust, and bake it.— lbid.
To make Tomato pies.—The toma
toes are skinned and sliced, and after be
ing mixed with sugar are spiced and pre
pared in the same manner as other pies.
[lbid.
' To make Yeast.—To two middling
I . B
' sized boiled potatoes, add a pint of boil
ing water, add two table spoonfuls of
j brown sugar. One pint of hot water
!; should be applied to every half pint of
the compound, llot water is better in
1 warm weather. This yeast being made
' without flour, will keep longer, and is'
said to be much better than any previ-[
ously in use.
I Suet keeps good all the year round, if
j chopped and packed down in a stone jar,
covered with molasses.
