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 1 Times. i ------ - - lh!~j ■'■■■■■ n 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. ■ AUGUSTA P UIGIIS S sT CUU KENT, | pi Carefully Corrected Weekly. §• , Bagging, Hemp Tow.
