LaNd PautW—tWs have been [informed
by ft gentlemen wlto ha3 the best opportunity
5f tnow'ipg, and in whose statements wo have
full continence, that there is now, and Ims been
for seine time post,, ah extensive system of laud
robberry carried On in this section of the State'
by parties professing to be land agcntsl—
Chains of titlfc3 are forgetbfroni tlie drawee
of lands which are vacant., and wltere the own
er is unknown, and thus the rijgliffuf owner, or
the parties purchasing Under the fraudulent
deeds, will loose the value of the land.
We give this information to \fcirn tin own
ers of land, in this section, to look to "their
rights. We would recommend the Grand .Ju
ries of the several counties to investigate this
matter, and make of the parties, if
they can be identified, who me thus seeking
to prey upon the community.— Albany Patriot.
Archbishop Hughes anl taDennxracy.j
The waiter, who was killed by Herbert at
Washington was ail Irishman. Bishop Hughes’ j
organ refers tq this circumstance, and culls aloud i
for justice on the Murderer. It lashes the
'House of Representatives, and’ particularly the
Democratic portion of it—for voting against an
inquiry into the matter. That sin (it snysj “is
o i the Democratic party, as a party, and ue.
cursed be lie who helps such a party into power,
until that blood isla#fu!ly purged away.”
It then proceeds a little more closely to
point out, that somebody in particular lias the
matter in hand. It says:
“Let them not suppose this matter is going
to drop here. One who seldom droops anything
lias it now ju hand, and lie distinctlywarns the
Democratic liepre.-rntmives at Washington,
tiiat if justice is hot done on the murderer, Her
bert, they will be held accountable, as the par
ty who interposed to screen and protect him
tfrom the penalty of his guilt.”
From what we can learn and see, most of
’the crops are in an unusually lietißhy-'ffnd grow
ing.condition. The late showers have refresh
ed everything in the shape of vegetation, and,
we imagine the plow and hoe is being nimpty
applied. Should the seasons continue good
from now out, our section will boast of tire
largest and best crops ever made.— Alban a Pa
d-riot.
Don't Read this in Public—[We. like a
good thing; but O onio good things propriety
requires to be enjoyed privately.' The follow
ing, if read publicly, might hurt somebody's
■feelings. It is from the Memphis Eagltq]
Governor Mcßae, of Mississippi, lias just
given the world a specimen of his clemency iu
‘the pardon of a person wlm had been convic
ted of, and imprisoned lor selling liquor ta
slaves. The reader could r.ot guess in a Week
the reason assigned for the pardon, and to save
him the trouble, we will tell him. He was par
■doned on the ground that he was a “foreigner,
■a short time in the country,
with the law.” Now let us see how wide you
•can open your eyes, reader. There, that will
'do. Now, that is rather a singular reason to
■ give, by a Governor who thinks that notwith
standing the man's alienism and ignorance of
he is qiiaiieffd to vote! It is some
thing new in the law. that a man’s ignorance
'Of it is an excuse for violating it. Such a prin
ciple would excuse all violations of it by ne
groes and illiterate persons generally. But the
'beauty of the thing is, tiiat the man came to
this country in 1850, and was naturalized on
’the 9th of January, 1856. convicted and sent |
Ho prison the very next day, and pardoned;
'three months after. We leave the the reader
to smoke this pipe-full of executive iogic, and
.pull’something out of it if he can. • j
Who are Hie American Candidates? J
This question, says the Baltimore Pat
riot, has been often asked by the Demo
cratic papers thorughout the country. We
know of no better answer than that given
by the Hon. Edwin J. Reside, who has re-j
cently written a lengthy and most capital i
letter to his constituents in North Carol!-;
na, on the subject of the American party.
Sir. Reado says :
As for oar ticket, it was made with the
view to enable the conservative men of
both the old parties to unite upon it, with
out any forfeiture of sob-respect, or of
tiroir long-cherished political at.uelnnents.
dt there is a man in the United States
who had the entire confidence of the whigs,!
'."uid the respect of the democrats, it is Mr.!
‘Fillmore.’ If there is one of whom the [
■name may be said as a democrat, it Is Mr.
’Dqaetsou. One a whig, the other a dem
tfttraf. This is our ticket. .Mr. Fillmore,
after General Taylor’s death, discharged
the duties of President for nearly four
veal's, with great ability and general sat
'd Action. lie came to the Government
'iieii it was in a storm, as now, upon the
Afcitiag subject of slavery. And such
was the propriety of his n. asures and the
firmness of iiis administration, that lie left
the government in a calm, such as it had
not enjoyed for many years. In that calm,
"the present administration came in, and
such lias been its course' of impolicy
tind weakness, that the very storm which
Mr. Fillmore had quieted has been rtised
-again, and threatens us with destruction.
Give him back the government, and ev
‘ery factionist, North and South, would
■dwindle down into such a mere speck of a
statesman tiiat you might handle him with
Mweezers, and confidence will be restored,
and the storm will pass without hurt.
Did He Lie. —The Washingson Union, in
Speaking of Judge Douglas’ last speech, says
that he “pi.ooceeded to expose, inmost eloquent
le’rrns, the’ injustice that had been done to him
And the other supporters of the Kansas bill,
inf the charge “that they had violated a sacred
compact,’ when it was now admitted that the
principle of that bill was right. He continued
for half An hour in a strain of bold, animated
and powerfn! eloquence to arraign the leaders
Os the Black Republican party.”
This “bold animated and powerful eloquence"
Was probably nothing but the bar room black
guardism and denunciation for which our dis
tinguished Senator is noted. But this is not
to the point.. In his Springfield speech, a few
years ago, Judge Douglas pronounced lhe Mis
souri Compromise a “sacred compact.,” and
said “palsied be that hand that would disturb
it.” The question now is. did he lie ’ then, or
bus he violated a sacred compact by repealing
the Compromise ? The Union wiil please in
form us.— Chicago Democrat.

The Enlistment <pn:J in a in the Senate.-
After the reading of the President’s Mes
sage, concerning Mr. Crnrtijitoii’s dismissal and
the nqcompmiying’documents, a disdaSsion affise
which-is reported as follows -in the National
’lntelligencer; '
Jlr. Mason (we quote from the Intelligegcer’t:
report) expressed the pleasure lie i'elt-at learn
ing the conciliatory tone of Lord Clarendon'c
dispatch, af,<l Complimented Ml’. Morey’s letter
as being rj, once temperate, cakn, raid 'courte
ous, and no- doubt would bo.;recciv«l by the.
British Government in the same amicable man
ner that Lord Clarendon’s-dispatch had been,
received here.
Mr. Cass had listened with pleasure to the
reading of the dispatch ot the Secretary of
State. He regarded it as h Conclusive and
powerful analysis of tiic whole ease. It seem
ed to him that the honor of the country impe
riously required the dismissal of the British
j Minister, and his only regret was that it had
not. been done long ago. He hold that this
I suspension of intercourse was a very common
circumstance; indeed, he believed that it was
an ordinary occurrence to inquire of Govern
ment, if ministers would bo acceptable He
alluded to his case, when appointed minister to
France, and said that he remained in Lfl’don
until it was ascertained that it would be agree
able to France to receive a Minister. England
had sent a’Minister.out of her country under a
guard. Indeed he might cite numerous instan
ces of such suspensions of intercourse, if it was
necessary. It was no cause for war nor would
war grow out of it unless England was deter
mined to proceed to it. The document was nil!
important one, and would be sought” for with
much avidity as containing elements of history,
-and he would move to priyt 10,000 additional |
copies.
Me. Toombs admitted that the dismissal of
the British Minister did not oi necessity lead
to the disturbance of our pacific relation with
Great Britain ; but still lie coble] but regrot
that the matter leal taken the course it had.—
Our Government having been satisfied,as it ac
knowledged, with the representations made by
Great. Britain, the British Minister ought to
have been perm %edto t main. He thought it I
was in vain for us ta say that the subject in j
dispute had been satisfactorily explained, to do- !
dare that the apology or explanation of tfie
British Goverlunimt was accepted, ark! then to j
remove the Minister who was the occasion of I
the dispute. While lie agreed with oivrov- i
eminent that the explanation of laud L'tarcn- 1
don was sufficient, yet he thought they had
greatly erred, after obtaining that explanation. {
to interrupt the diplomatrq intercourse between |
the two countries. He expresadd the opinion
that the matter had been pressed to a point of I
pettifogging, rather than of statesmanship.— I
He did not concur with the construction given !
by our Government to the neutrality laws. He j
did not think the British Government had vio- 1
Itiftsd them in any thing which it hail done.—
Mow that negotiations had terminated, he took
the occasion to express his dissent from the
views of his own Government.
Mr. Butler agreed with the Senator f'roifi
Georgia (Mr. Toombs) that.it was peculiarly I
unfortunate that the British Minister should
have been d’smissed after ail this protracted I
correspondence. During the time when the |
Allies were engaged in the war against Russia |
it was highly proper for our Government to I
have said, “bands oil'” so far as regards our j
own people, in this controversy ; but after the j
| war had erased, he throught the course scarcely |
(.proper. He would not say that the British !
j Government had a right to take exception to
! it, but he would have preferred to have had it I
| done in the first instance or not at all. He
;saw no reason why the two Governments
I should be involved in commercial difficult ies and
scenes of retaliation, much less in actual war.
j lie should regard that us a great calamity. It
I was one of those things lie desired to avert, so
(far as he could do-so by his counsel, consistent
ly with the honor of his country.
The Minister had been dismissed, and lie sup
posed tlie developments afforded what our Gov
ernment considered a justification for it; hut
jhe thought, from the temper which pervaded
I tho correspondence of Lord Clarendon, and the
| torn-of feeling that seemed to exist in both
! countries, this Would ,J)e regarded as a rocst,
inopportune time for thus dissolving diplomat
ic feint ions. He would not say that our Gov
ernment, war not justified, hut must be permit
ted to think it. had chosen an inopportune pe
riod for it’s action.
After brief rejoinders by Messrs, Cass am!
Mason tho conversation dropped.
Reception' or Mu, Fii.i.moi.k,—The Fillmore
and Donclspn Clubs, of New York, are male
ing arrangements for a public reception for
their Bred lential candidate on as grand a scale
as possible. A central committee has been
formed, and funds are contributing quite liber
ally. Both branches of tlie City Councils agree
to a SI,OOO appropriation for tlie same object.
The Philadoipha Guano Company dispatch
ed on Saturday to Laguarya and Puerto Uab
eilo the barque Isaac R. lUvis, whose cargo
consisted principally of stores, such as flour,
beef, pork, clothing and agricultural imple
ments for the working of the deposits of guano
on tlie islands on the Venezuelan coast. She
also took out 157 laborers, who are to remain
for two years at S2O per month and found.
The Coming Sickness. —The germs of pes
tilence are hatching in the elements.—Every
thing points to the approach of a sickly sum
mer and autumn. If should, therefore, be the
care of every person to preserve tha several
functions of the body in their full tom* Dis
eases fall first upon those whose organism is
already disordered through their own neglect.
Guard well against s onslipation, and its oppo
site. Eat nothing indigestible. Avoid all
green and half matured vegetables and fruits.
Pay strict attention to the cleanliness of the
surface of your, bodies ; and above all begin
the work of purification about your yards, and
iu your houses, early : and do it thoroughly.—
Cleanliness, simple diet, and regular habits
will form tlie strongest protection against the
coming ededeinic. As no man can tell where
the arrow of death may fall first, lie is the wis
est who first puts his house in order. — Medical

Fusion’. —At the election for Mayor of
Providence, Rhode Island, on the 14 iust.,
the Republicans and Democrats united against
the" Americans. “Sam” was victorious however.
I lad there been a fusion of the Americans and
republicans, how indignant would have been
the denunciations of the democratic press
South. Ail fusions, in their estimation are im
proper unless then party is to be benefitted there

Dreadful Affaik.— We witnessed on last
Friday one of the most melancholy scenes we
have ever heard of in Mulioysville in this conn
ty, of a son killed by his father. It appeared
that Jesscl, and Jasper Golitsin, were both drink
ing, after which a quarrel commenced, the son
(Jasper) being the most intoxicated, after some
words they commenced scuffling with knives by
which the son was stabbed in thirteen different
places, four qf them mortal wounds and of which
he expired in about 20 hours, while (Jesse)
the father received only one cut on the left arm.
A coroners’ inqulst was held over the body of
(Jasper) and a verdict of involuntary man
slaughter rendered. Jesse Cohran was com
mitted to jail to await his trial in our Superior
Court, at Reppjaber next.— Withe's Deo- " i
