Happiness.
“ Mere curious pleasure or ingenious pain.”
What a strange word is happiness T— flow
indefinite and unsatisfactory in its mearing—
and how indefinite in its locality and time of
realization.
Ask where’s the North ? at York, ’tis on the
Tweed—
In Scotland, at the Orcades ; and there,
At Greenland, Zambia, or the gods’ know
where.”
Happiness is a myth beyond the grasp of
mortal life, a word unsuited to man, and be
yond his power to reacli or retain. The inhab
itant of the watery deep may gaze with pleasure
on the mountain landscape reflected in the light
of day, but his element fails to buoy him to
its locality, or if by chance, he lands amid its
flowers, and fruit finds them a bed of thorns
Yet,
Some strange comfort every State attends.”
“ Comfort ” is the word, if any, that answers
to the reconciliation of mortal existance. The
being that lives and hopes for happiness on
earth, hopes in vain.
\Yo may find comfort, not happiness, even
amid cares and burdens of the mountain's
weight
“ Vanity and vexation of spirit,”
are more intrusive at the door of the palace
than in the hut of dispair. Reconciliation-to
the ills,” and Hope, which
*< Springs eternal in the human breast,”
are the messengers which happiness lias sent
from Amoranthiue fields to the intelligences of
earth to guide them amid the crags and thorns
of life's stormy way. Death is tiie gate through
which to pass Irom scenes of toil to the haven
of rest Preparation for a graceful entrance
through the wide portal savors more of reai
happiness than all the wealth, glory and honor
of earth. f
Kir. Fillmore In Europe.
The European Home correspondent of the
New York Herald gives the following account
of Mr Fillmore's travels in Europe. No
American hns ever attracted so much real hon
or and attention iu tii ■ Old World, as this great
and good.man; t

around to political loafers,) is nominated, Mil
lard Fillmore is sure to be our next President.
Yesterday : party of Americans—(l do not
mean to use the word as a party distinction—it
will be a sad spectacle when any portion of
Americans will have ceased to think and feel
and act as Americans) —communicated to Mr.
Fillmor- the fact of his nomination; but he
remained as calm as a summer's morning, and
seemed to lie quite indilferent as to the honor
intended to be showered upon him. lie leaves

there is probably now no man living iu the
United States so well posti dup in our foreign
affairs and thoroughly acquainted with tiie po
sition of the different Stales of Europe as Mr.
Fillmore, and none who has more judgment to
make the proper use of his knowledge.
While Mr. Fillmore,on his way from Mar
seilles to Nice, was passing through Cannes,
memorable, as you well know, in ancient times
by the battle which Julius Ctesar won over
the Gauls, but celebrated in latter days as a
most delightful residence for Englishmen in
search of country life, retirement uni health
lie made a short visit to Lord Brougham, who
had shown him some attention in London, and
was not a little astonished when, on leaving the
place, he found his Lordship (who is now in a
very advanced age) waiting for him near the
carriage with a splendid copy of anew edition
of his Lives ot Eminent Men of the reign of
George 111. His Lordship had come down
nearly two miles from his beautiful palace, on
foot, to wait on our venerable ox-Presidcnt to
present him with this testimonial of his high
regard. Os the special favor shown Mr. Fill
more by the Pope, I have spoken in a previous
letter, where I stated that his Holiness bestow
ed on hint more than princely honor when lie
invited Mr. Fillmore to take a scat by his
side. The King of Naples had an extra train
in readiness to convey Mr. Fillmore to the roy
al residence; and wherever else Mr. Fillmore
lias set foot he was received, and only with tiie
honors due to tiie exalted station he otc e occu
pied, but with that respect for the innate digni
ty of the man which no official position, how
ever high, can ensure unless coupled with per
sonal dignity and evidence of a high individual
character.

An Appk.ntice Wanted.— The Salisbury ,
(N. 0.) Republican Banner advertises for an j
apprentice to the printing business, in the fol
lowing terms!
Wanted, at this office, a ymmg man to learn
the printing trade. He must he ambitions en
ough to get out of bed before eight o'clock in
the morning—to do a thing without being told
how more than six times—do his chores with
out having all the boys in the neighborhood
help him, or an overseer to tell him mortiing.
noon and night, what is to he done; and last,
though not least, he must lie willing to carry
the papers, wait upon subscribers, saw wood,
rock the cradle, if necessary, roll, distrioute jobs,
black his own boots, etc. To such a one a
steady situation and good wages will be given.
The Banner may succeed in getting such an
apprentice over in North Carolina,but in Geor
gia the idea would lie preposterous. “Young
America” runs a different scheduld over this
way. and if the editor is not a pretty shrewd
chap, the ■•devil" will gut ahead of him. *
The following, written by a gentleman who
recently left this place for Kansas, was handed
ns, with a request to publish it:
FAREWELL TO GEORGIA !
Dear Georgia! farewell, a fond adieu,
To Iby sunny "lime and skies so blue ;
The prarie fields of the wild, wild west,
Bid me come, her rights contest.
Oil! Kansas is now the home for me,
So rich, so boundless, and so free ;
Its mighty streams and fertile plains,
Is now the prize we seek to gain.
Georgia ! thou art my native home;
Thy woods and field- I long have roamed.
Thou gav’st me birth and manhood's prime,
Was reached beneath thy genial clime.
But duty’s voice I must obey,
Which sternly calls me far away ;
My native State, farewell to thi-c,
Kansas is now the home for me 1

The Way a Catholic Victory is Cele

by burning in offigy the editor of the A1

groans—and if words could kill he would
be as lifeless as stone.
The Foreign Vote In Kansas.
The Hartford Times, the Democratic organ
of Connecticut—a Journal by which the faith
ful of that State swear, says :
“The sir gi st probability of Kamo*becom
ing a free Sfyte is iferiml from the fact tiiat,
tK- ’i in I- foreign-born citizens who are
pouring m . < lie c w territory are ail free St -te ,
men, wit- ■< i v«!> against tlie inirodueti.-ii of

C “aa eiie:: n ‘ id. r t.ndefeat the Democracy,
ere unit ina null tiie Kn.iw Nothings—an order
that op mo. s ami proscribes i his very class of
foreign-born free State men. The Know N'olli
mgs would deprive them of the right to vote.
Are these sham Republicans, who prof-sssneh
devotion to “freedom for Kansas.” consistent
in thus uniting with a party opposed to ail for
eign-horn citizens? Opposed to the very means
which will make Kansas a free State.”
It seems that the extract conies from a De
mocratic organ—the Hartford Times. It
proves tWo things conclusively: Ist. That the
said “organ” uuu those it represents desire Kan
sas to be made a Free State. 2d. Thai the
Northern Democracy calculate on the aid of the
Foreign Vote to oppose slavery in the Territo
ries.
Arc I last things so? We say emphatically,
that they ate so “beyond perndventure.” The
well authenticated sentiments of Pierce, Doug
las and Cass leave no room to doubt them, us to
the first; and second is demonstratablc by the
fact, that the trans-Atlantic reservoirs from
Which these foreign votes are drawn are utter
ly defiled by abolition fanaticism. It would be
strange if uidi-slavery nations sent out here
pro-slavery voters. It is inconsistent with rea
son or common sense. There probably never
put his foot on American soil, a German. Eng
lishman, Frenchman. Scotchman or Irishman
who at the time of his coming, was not opposed
to slavery, os far as he bail any sentiment or
desire, on that subject. That very many change
their views, after living in the Suothern States,
and observirg the workings of our system, we
do not question. But that it is a very different
matter and does not bear on the point at issue.
The foreigners whose votes wili settle the. Ter
ritorial contests against us, never see the South,
at. all; or at least, they never see slavery as it
really is. They may be in its neighborhood,
as is the case with the Germans in Western
Texas—but in its neighborhood, isolated and
clanish. they keep up foreign sentiments and
foreign predjudicse.
But the modern Democracic policy is to flood
the country with foreigners; tiie Southern wing
swearing they are tiie best allies Slavery ever
had: while the Northern wing knows they may
lie safely counted to help “shriek for freedom.”
There is only one greater political folly than
this blind belief in frcsldy-iniported foreigners,
on the part of the South. That folly is the be
lief (?) that a foreigner can love this country
as well as his own and is as competent to assist
in governing it as the native-born. Modern,
patent, Pierce Democracy having had its throat
well stretched by gulping down the first propo
sition. takes fallacy the second down that throat
as if it were an oyster! —Montgomery Mad.
The N. Y. National Democrat says: It is a
thing to be remembered that at the time when
the entire Hard Democratic press ol this State
was advocating the repeal of the Missouri line,
and when that measure was especially advocated
by ns from the circumstance of its entire accord
ance with the doctrine of non-intervention.first
a tvocatcd by Daniel S. Dickinson, the Washing
!<>i: Union edited by Forney A Nicholson, cori
lainci! the following remarks:
. , ::.\< k. Patriotism, Devotion to the
Union . rim Interest of the Democratic Par
tv—ail suggest that, the public sentiment which
in-w :o quiesces cheerfully in the principles of
the ('ompr.;mise of 1850 should not be incon
s derate! ., disturbed. The Iriumphat election to
President Pierce shows that on this basis the
hearts and the judgment of the people are with
tiie Democracy. We may venture to suggest
that it is weh worthy of consideration whether
i faithful adherence to the creed which has been
s i iriumphatly indorsed by tiie people docs not
r-quire all good Democrats to hesitate and rc
-1 fir,-: maturely upon any proposition which any j
member of mfc party can dSjeit to as an interpn-
Int on upon that creed. In a word, it would be
wise, in ail Demociats to consider whether it
would not be safest to let well enough alone."
To repeal the Missouri Compromise might, and
according to our view would cl ar the principle

The Date of the Treaty of Peace.—
Singular Coincidence. —A letter from Par
is says :
“The so much discussed treaty of peace
is signed at last, and signed oil the anni
versary of a reat event. On this day,
forty two years ago, was sou ht the hat
lie of Paris, the last act of the Great dra,
ina of which Europe was the theatre ;
and on the following day the Russians en
tered the capital, and dictated terms of
peace where now their Ambassadors have
come to ask for it. On thefol owing day,
which many still remember as cold, som- -
lire and cheerless, the allies enter and Paris, j
That France is now able, in concert with
lie* allies, to dictate peace to Russia, may
lie considered as full satisfaction for the
past, and I am not quite sure that it was
without design that the 30th of March j
was selected for the occasion.”
A II uman Horn. —Dr. Poreher, of j
Charleston, has in his possession a horn, j
about seven inches in length, and in diame
ter two inches and three quarters bearing
a c.los resemblance to a ram’s horn, which
he extracted from the head of a negress,
aged about 52, horn on a plantation it St. j

incneed forming some eight years since,
with a swelling and discharge, and, after
a while, a gradual increase in size. Dur
ing the four months preceding its remov- 5
al, it. grew some two inches, and having,
in curving around, reached the face in the
temporal region, just to the left of one eye,
and having commenced to produce snppur
ut on of the skin with which it had come
in contact, its immediate removal was nec
essitated. Its removal, which was done
in December. 1854, in the presence of Dr'
D. J. Cain, and several students of the
Charleston Prepatory Medical School,
was accompanied with comparatively lit
tle pain. It was found, upon examination
afterwards, tiiat some remains of the orig
inal growth remained, and there is some
prohab lity that it may increase in size and
and again require removal.— Aug. Chron

The Holy Lance. —The lance which
opened the side of our Divine Saviour is
now kept at Rome, but has no point. An
drew of Crete, who lived in the seventh
’ century, says it was buried together with
the cross, and St. Gregory of Tours and
Venerable Bede test fy that in there time
it was kept at Jerusalem. For fear of the
Saracens, it was hurried privately at An
tioch, in which city it was afterward found,
and wrought many miracles, as Robert
the Monk and many eye witnesses testify.
It was first carried to Jerusalem, and then
to Constantinople, and at the time the ci
jtv was taken by the Latins, Baldwin II
sent the point of it, to Venice as a pledge
for a loan of money. St. Louis, King of
; France, redeemed it by paying the sum
for which it was pledged, and had it con
veyed to Paris, where it is still kept in
t lie Holy Chapel. The rest of the lance re
mained at Constantinople, after the Turks
had taken that city to the year 1492,
when the Sultan Bajazet sent it by an eue
lmssador, in a rich and beautiful case, to
Pope Innocent VIII, adding that the
point was in the possession of the Kiug of
France.
speech of Tlr. Fillmore.
In the Spring of 1854, only two years ago,
Mr. Fillmore visited, aliiohg other places in
his Western tour, Louisville, Ky., where he
was. as every where else, treated with the most
marked courtesy. In reply to a welcoming ad
dress, he made a speech, a sketch of which was
published at the time ill the Journal, which
now that he is before the people for the first
office in the world, will be read with pleasure-
Here it is t
Mr. Fillmore said, on rising, that he felt ex
ceedingly, embarrassed in being called on, for
the first time in his file, to address an audieuee
like the one before him, and that he sincerely
hoped that there was no " chiel ” present
“ takin ” notes, but that what lie should utter
should be forgotten with tne occasion. He was
at a loss to understand what motive could have
prompted such a great and unexpected expres
sion of regard on I lie part of the citizens of
Kentucky If lie were in the actual possession
of the power which it was dice his torture to
wield, or even again seeking that position, he
might see an object for such a manifestation,
but here I am, said lie, neither holding nor seek
ing office, wth nothing as a private or public
man, which, in my own estimation, should call
forth such a testimonial as this. To nothing,
said lie, can I attribute it but a real Kentucky
hospitality, which seeks un object, whether
worthy or not, and lavishes upon that object its
own generosity.
Mr. Fillmore said that it. was his misfortune
to be, without his solicitation, and certainly
against his wishes called to the administration
of the government. lie lmd not even sought
the nomination for the Vice-Piesidency, and
none cou and be more surprised than he when he
learned that he had been nominated. It was
only ten hours before General Taylor's death
that he had any thought that his illustrious
friend was in danger. The knowledge came
upon him like a peal of thunder from a clear
sky. lie felt wholly unprepared for the great
responsibilities about to devolve upon him.—
Though he bad been for many years a politi
cian, he could say that the only sleepless night'
he ever passed, on account of political anxiety,
was that on which Gen. Taylor died, bis
sleeplessness arose from his deep feeling of the
weight of the duties unexpectedly devolved up
on him. He reviewed during the hours of that
night his own opinions and his own life, lie
was sensible that ho hud drunk in with his
mother's milk and cherished from his own youth
up, a feeling, even a prejudice against slavery,
lie endeavored to look upon this whole coun
try, from the faithest corner of Maine to the
utmost of limit Os Texas, as but one country
the country that had given him birth. He
saw in the gathering clouds in the North and
in the South a storm which was likely to over
whelm him, and, in- feared, his country also, but
lie took the constitution and the laws as his
only guide.
He well knew, that bysodoing.be must lose
the friendship of many prominent men of the
country, especially in his own State, and en
counter their reproaches, but to him this was
nothing. The man who can look upon such a
crisis without being willing to offer himself up
on the altar of his country is not fit for a pub
lie trust. On the night of Gen. Taylor’s death,
the members of his cabinet presented to me
their resignations. 1 .reclined to look at them,
first, because 1 deemed it respectful to the hon
ored dead that 1 should not consider by what
means I should carry on the government until
he was decently interred; and secondly, be
cause this avalanche of responsibility had fal
len upon me unprepared. I desired at least a
few hours to reflect on what it was my duty to
do. Here was a cabinet, selected by Gen. Tay
lor, several of them my personal friends, whom
I would do anything in my power to serve,
short of endangering the peace of my country.
I knew, however, that their policy was not such
as I could approve. 1 saw that the executive
power of the government, and the legislative
were in opposition to each other and that,
while this state of things continued, peace
could never be restored.
| The question therefore ' presented itself to
; me, shall I retain this cabinet or select anew
one. The latter course was adopted ; but you
can scarcely conceive the difficulties of the po
sition in which this decision placed me. When
the Presidents are elected, they have two or
j three month- before taking their office, to se
lect men suited to act as heads of departments,
\ but this duty came upon me in half a day. I
i requested the members of the Taylor cabinet
! to stay thirty days and to give mean opportun
! ity to look round and select their successors,
; but they respectfully declined. Thus, while the
: storm was coming up in the North and in the
j South. 1 was suddenly called to administer the
government, without a cabinet, and without
| time to select one ; but thank God 1 was not
j long iii this situation. I was so fortunate us to
j obtain a cabinet, the members of which and
j myself always agreed in opinion ; and in all its
acts, we acted together. In that cabinet your
own honored Kentucky was honorably repre
sented. Sti I. said Mr. Fillmore, the great dif
ficulty remained. The question arose, what
was to be done ?
In Texas and New Mexico, a civil war
threatened. Texas made preparations to take
possession of a portion of New Mexico. He
felt it his duty to maintain the- laws of his
country. One of the laws required that the
people of the Territory of New Mexico should
lie protected. Asa means of protecting, lie
immediately ordered a portion of the army and
munitions of war to the frontier ol'Tcxas to do
duty there. The army was put in motion, and
then, and not till then, did Congress act upon
the subject. Texas and New Mexico acquiesc
ed in the action of Congress. Mr. Fillmore
spoke of the adoption of the compromise mea
sures of 1850, especially of the fugitive slave
law. This law, he said had some provisions in
jit to which ho had objections, lie regretted
the necessity of its being passed at all; but the
constitution required the giving up the fugitive 1
slaves, and it was net for him to decide wheth
er this was a compact; he had sworn to main
tain it, and would do so to his la3t hour.
When the bill came to me from the two
houses, in the midst of hurry and confusion
and difficulties, he examined it, and a doubt
came up in bis miud whether it was not uncon
stitutional, as denying the right of habeas cor
pus to the fugitive slave. He referred the ques
tion to our accomplished Kentucky lawyer, ins
Attorney General, who gave his oj inion that
the law was not a violation of the constitution;
and thereupon, said Mr. Fillmore, I gave my
signature to the bill, but in doing so, I drew
down upon my devoted head, as I knew I should
the vials of wrath from abolitionism and free-
NUMBER 40*
soiiism. Mr. Fillmore regretted that, he had
felt called on to say so much of himself, and
went on to speak ot those who stood by him
in the great struggle of 1850. He said that
ho would gladly name in that connection many
living persons, nor Whigs merely but denficrats
as true patriots as ever lived. This work of
pacification, said lie. was by no means the work
of one man, or five men, or ten men—-tiie crisis
was one in which the true patriots of the na
tion. no matter what they lmd been called, Whigs
or democrats, or any other name, rose above all
personal and partizan considerations, and look
ed only to tiie good of the country. He refer
red beautifully to the noble piarts taken by the
illustrious dead, Mr. Clay, Mr. Webster, and
the late Vice President King.
The speaker said that though he had, by his
efforts in behalf of the compromise, lost for a
time tiie confidence of a portion of his fellow
citizens, and especially in his own State, he
loved that State fls dear mother, and was um
w illing to believe that he had proved a recent
son. lie trusted that the excitement of the
moment would pass away, and that she would
at last see that he had ut least acted w itli hon
est intentions, if he lmd not acted the better
port. But. fellow citizens, Juki he, let me refer
to your own Stnte. When the gatheriug tem
pest of fanaticism, abolition fanaticism, was
rolling up from the North and an equally vio
lent tempest of fanaticism, was rolling up from
the South, where then did the State of Ken
tucky stand? She stood like a rock amid the
serges of the ocean—she Stood firm and unshak
en, the pillar of the constitution. Ilia eulogy
of Kentucky was exceedingly handsome, and
'his portion of speech like all the other por
tions, was received with the most enthusiastic
applause. Few public speakers ever made so
line an impresriou upon u Louisville audience
us he.
Mr. Fillmore. —The New York Iloir.e
Journal thus alludes to the nomination of Mr.
Fillmore :
“ Thi recent nomination by the Know Noth
ing Convention, of Mr. Fillmore, as their can
didate for the Presidency, is at present tiie
theme of considerable amplification on the part
of tiie newspapers. The Southern wing of
that party receive the nomination with cordiali
ty, while in the North they are divided in opin
ion. Os course ail the disappointed candidates,
with their attachees. grumble and call it a mis
erable choice. Whatever may be raid of the
principles of the party, there is i.o denying that
they have selected a noble standard bearer.—
He is a man without reproach in his private
relations and of disinterested patriotism. Al
though a self-made man. he is possessed of va
ried learning and profound skill in the science
of statesmanship, More than all, he has a
sterling Roman firmness, and is an honest man
—such as our country greatly needs in these
times. 11 is indifference to political preferment
is admirably shown in his absence from the pet
ty manamverings, on a tour of foreign travel,
in which he is gathering knowledge for future
usefulness to himself and country.”
A fragment,
Swiftlg glide our years—they follow
each other like tiie waves of the ocean.—
Memory calls up the person we once knew
the secnes in which we were the actors ;
they appear before tiie mind like phan
toms of a i-' —-r' v' ion. JSehokl lire hey
rejoicing in the gavety ot his soul —tlret-
wheels of time cannot roil too rapidly for
him—the light ol hope dances in his eye
—the smile of expectation plays upon liis
lip—he looks forward for long years to
come—his spirit burns within him when
he hears of great men and mighty deeds
—belongs to mount the hill of ambition,
to tread the path of honor, to hear the
shout of applauss. Look at him again—
he, is in the meridian of life—care has
stamped wrinklcss upon his brow— disap
pointment has thrown its gloom upon his
countenance —he looks hack upon the
walking dreams of youth, and sighs for
their futility—each revolving year seems
to diminish something from his stock of
happineis, and he discovers that the sea
son of youth, when the pulse of anticipa
tion beats high, is the only season of en
joyment. 'Who is he of the aged locks?
His form is bent ■ nd totters—his footsteps
move more rapidly towards the tomb—he
looks back upon the past—his days ap
pears to have been but few, and he con
fesses they were evil—the magnificence of
the world fades from his view, and he sinks
down into the silence of the grave.
Thf. Girls. —Al lien a young man en
ters the arena of the world in search of a\
wife, he should ask three questions before
entering into courtship; first, is she in
telligent? second, is she kind and benevo
lent? and thirdly, did she ever get lip be
fore breakfast in the morning? If all these
iiitcrogatories be answered in the affirmi
tive, no other qualification is dispensable
necessary: for with sneh a wife fortune
and fame can easily be acquired. Such is
the wife for the laboring man, such should
be the companion of one fortunately pos
sessed of wealth, and such should be tire
wife of hint who aspires to tiie highest sta
tions that society can bestow. All this in
formation can be easily obtained from tiie
girl you have in view; for many boast of
their indolence, and think no higher com
pliment could be paid tlrnn by calling them
delicate in health and feeble in mind. If
she is weighed in the balances and found
wanting, pass her with contempt,and look
toother resources for future happiness.—
But marry, lit the risk be what it may—it
gives dignity to your profession, it inspires
confidence, and commands respect. AA’ith
a wife the lawyers are more trusty, the
doctors more, esteemed, the men haul gets
a bigger credit, and the mechanic throws
the hammer with increased power, and
shoves the plane with a more dexterous
hand, in short—a man who has no wife,
is no man at all. She nurses him while
sick, she watches for him when absent,
and loves and cherishes him when in health.
Gent'eman, get a wife, a pretty one il you
hkc them best—a good one if she is to be
found—and a rich one if you can get her.
Then youth will pass in visionary pleas
ures, as if on a bed of flowers, middle age.
will be enjoyed in the bosom of a happy
family, when your head is silvered o'er with
the frosts of many winters, you can re
flect back with the happy consolation that
you have spent your life in usi fulness to
yourself, and to the benefit of your fellow
men.
