kindly come to the rescue of the 4th Dis

in Washington, who has kindly offered u.-
his assistance, says:
Dent I see declines the canvass. I regret
- the fact, and the cause that compels it.—
Give us a man of the right moral in his

whom 1 would like to see representing that
District in the National Councils; but (com
petent in every other way as they are) most
of those I would personally prefer possess
too much of the milk of human kindness to
cope with the political Charlatans who will
swarm the halls of the Capita! next winter.
We want an old line Democrat, one who ha«
seen some hard service, and is accustomed
to receive as well as to give knocks, one
springing from the people and who wan'd
be most likely to rally the people in such a
crisis. Do you ask where is such to be
found? I reply, have you not Ramsey of
Atlanta? True as steel, fearless as Ceesar.
and active and reliable as he is fearless and
true. His earlv life was devoted to the
maintenance of his cherished principles in
the 8th District, where they were well nigh
crushed by the combined powers of Stephens
and his co-workers. Ramsey, though in a
minority that never quailed, fought these
Goliahs until the very enemy was forced to
applaud their persevering and faithful de
votion. The Whigs hate him—aye, with a
cordial, deep, abiding hate—they belie him
-—they slpnder him—they grin at him—
but they fear him, for they know he bites.
He is shrewd, cool, cautious. In a word,
he is the man for the democracy in a Con
gress Chock full of abolition knaves.
Stir the people up—rouse them to a sense
of the danger that threatens. We want
Chastian from the 5th and Ramsey from
the 4th, and then huzza for young*

The Gas Enterprise.—We are much
pleased to learn from Mr. Helme, the con
tractor, that all the stock in the Atlanta
Gas Light Company has been subscribed.
As the question of having our city lighted
by Gas has thus been decided, the Company
will proceed immediately with the necessary
arrangements, and it is their intention, we
understand, to have the works completed
and in operation, at farthest, by Christmas
next.

Cincinnati, April 3d, P. M.—The city re
mains quiet. Gn an investigation it has
been ascertained that the ballot box of the
I2th ward contained 55 more tickets than
there were names recorded on the poll books.
One of the Judges insisted on throwing out
the entiro vote, hut the others would not
agree, and while the Judge was counting
the votes a body of men entered the room
and took the box, containing the tickets,
forcibly from them, and then burnt the
ballots and tall}’ sheets in the open stveet!
Thus, the votes of the 11th and 12th wards
have been destroyed!
The remaining wards give Taylor (Amer
ican) 477 majority. The American party
contend that there has been a largo amount
of illegal voting. It is reported that Mr.
Taylor will not accept the office under the
circumstances.
Cincinnati. April 3 0 o’clock, P. M.—The
greatest excitement prevails hero to-night,
and there is every indication of a renewal
of the fearful scenes of last night. The
piece of cannon taken f.om the Germans
yesterday by the Americans, was quietly
convoyed from the public landing this after
noon by the Germans, which causes much
excitement.
An immense number of pea)do have now
assembled tit Fith street and market Space,
awaiting the return of a deputation which
has been sent to Freeman’s Hal), across the
canal, the headquarters of the Germans, to
demand the return of the cannon. The
mob have resolved, if the gun is not delive
red forthwith, they will go and tako it hv
force. This they will do. if necessary, in
which case there will no doubt be another
serious riot.
[After waiting until near 11 o'clock last
night, it was found impossible to got any
thing later from Cincinnati.—Reporter.] '
Cincinnati, April 4, 1 o’clock.—There
has been no fighting to day. The Germans
delivered up to the connon, but retained the
wheels. The parties nro now quarrelling
about the latter. The military are under
arms. The indications are that the difficul
ties will terminate without further blood
shed.

Philadelphia, April 3d.—In the Demo

Chattanooga in a State of Siege.—On
Thursday last about forty salt boatmen ar
rived in Chattanooga from the Virginia Salt
Works, in charge of sixteen salt boats, con
taining 4,000 barrels of salt. These boat
men became somewhat unruly under the in
fluence of “Pike’s ^ Magnolia,” and th eat-
ened the unconditional destruction he
town and its extensive suburbs. The Uty
Fathers, however, were equal to the emer
gency, and prepared to sell “their lives,
their fortunes, and their sacred honors,” on
the point of the bayonet. The “Lookout
Rifles” were called out, and armed to the
molars, they marched in solid phalanx, their
furbished bayonets glittering in the moon
light and their rear cheered with an enthu
siastic and steadfast populace, consisting of
negroes and children, to the river. The sn-
linedisciples were dismayed, and surrendered
without throwing a rock. The basis of the
“fdftr points” wnsagreed upon, and the milita
ry having discharged a*destructive fire upon
Walden’s Ridge, “marched back again,”
and were discharged. The officers and pri
vates will apply immediately f<>r the bene
fits of the late law for the relief of the sol
diers of the country.—Nashville Whig.

Several plans for the extension and beautifying
of the City Hall are now awaiting tbe choice of the
Common Council. One of these, proposed by a
Mr. Gilbert, is in good favor, and, if adopted, will
give us a building perhaps unsurpassed in the
world for municipal purposes. It contemplates a
four storied structure, with fronts on Broadway,
Chambers and Centre streets, forming a quadran
gle with the present City Hall, and enclosing a
central open court of two acres. The principal
front on Chnmbars street will be 520 feet, the wings
on Broadway and Centre streets 385 feet, the whole
to contain about 150 rooms. The structure is to
be o; white marblo, with an elaborate and costly
ornamentation. The cost, which is roughly esti
mated at two and a half millions, is perhaps the
strongest argument against it, and may cause its
rejection.
One of the men who nover read a newspaper
came to town on the 30thult. Of course ha wasn’t
posted up, aud fell a victim to the “ Patent Safe
swindle,” a trick which has been explained proba
bly in every news sheet in the country. Ho went
innocently over to Hoboken with two newly made
but ardent friends, and allowed one of these to
stako his entire pile that the piece of white paper
icat in the “ pretty curiosity just brought from
Canton " by tho other. The borrower loses and
gives our vordant New Hampshire friend a cheque
for $800, which, on presentation, finds, much to
his surprise, is worthless. A year’s subscription
to his country paper would have saved him $186.
But the charitably disposed among us have bled

The April term of the Court of Oyer and Ler- j

presented for years. There are nine persons in- 1
dieted for murder besides the eight accused as

tier of Poole, and ouo case of arson in the first de
gree. I understand that the Gambler’s Lottery

ed a largo sum of mouey on Sunday last to aid in

from 3 to six months. On tbe 30th ult., however, |
the cose of oue of them was reconsidered by Judge

Messrs. Fnrroas:
In your i*sue of to-day I find myself most malie-
nantlv attisiel by some one over the siffiatu-e of “Ob

private affair* before the community, a‘-d«cent re
spect” for the opinions of all imprejudiced persons im
pel me to make an Explanation of all ihe facts as the}
exist between myself and son, and upon those facts
I confidently rely for » justification, should they how
ever fail to sustain me in the public opinion. I shall
still let-1 that I have only done my duty to mysd/ *nd im
other children, nor would I if I could retrace a single
step, or recall a single act that I have done m thisma-.
er, -‘observer” to the contrary notwithstanding.
I do not pretend to say whether --Ob-erver” has will
fully or ignorantly misrepresented me, but I do sa<
that his statement is totally untrue, except in the tin
gle fact that!had bailed my son. The history of the
matter is this about two years ago my son Jesse and
myself bought a house and lot together, sgreehg '<
pay S1V00 for it. my half of it was paid for at the iim-
of the purchase, 1 then loaned to him X‘500 to pay foi
his half. Bat at his request I consented that he might
give his notes for the balance and appropriate the mon
e> I had loaned him to building a brute, upon a lot 1,<
had bought subsequently, 'this h<- did. taking a bou-
for titles (to t’.e house, and lot we had purchased j, nit.
lv) to himself alone.
1 n<-t looking to be defrauded by my son, and dcsir
ing to assist him as for as my means would allow lor.
tu justice to my other children, did not object to this
informality.
About a year after thi* he s- Id his half in the house
and lot to my oldest son, who has paid him in full for
it, and like m\self is without a ti’leor even a bnutl fur
a title, thus has he perpetrated a double fraud
upon both father an 1 brother. The money w hich li«
received from me he uset as I hate before Mate t-
bu ll a house upon another lot. which only a few days
sinre he convene 1 into mouey (:it :i (.acrifice) to pre
vent myself and other ere liters trom getting any thimj.
When 1 lust week applied to him to pay up the note-
lie had given for his half of the house aud lot, otreiing
to sa- ritice $100 if lie would do so aud make titles ti
myself aud his brother, (fora piece of property which
we have nrarly Iwio^iaid tor.) he not only refused,
but tauntingly told me if ‘ I got my money or my ti
tles before he did to let him kn->w.”
ru.ler these circumstances I sued aud hailed him on
ly, (when an action for fraud could easily have bee,
sustained,) believing asl did that he intruded to lrare
the State. These are the real facts, and they can lx
proven in a court of Justice. Those who doubt it 1 re
fer to E W. Holland, Wm. M. Butt, J. E. Bartlett, or
his own brothers, one of whom helms defrauded as
well as myself. And I might add that all the parties
to whom 1 refer and who have Known all the cireum-
stances for some time past, advised me to pursue the
very course I did. With this statement I leave the
matter for the public to judge between us.
A* for “Observer,” who so giatuitously thrusts him
self intoa “family d fficulfy ” and eudtavois logive it
publicity through a public journal, to gratify a “low
ambition,” or a mean revenge—who so flippantly ap
plies to me such chaste epithets as “hog as-irine,” Ac.
—I can only say that such terms are doubtless to him
“household words;” for surely he uses them with the
grace and ease of one's own “mother tongue.”

[Extract from the Metropolitan. Washington, P. C-]
The Great Gas Invention.
Wo have repeatedly spokeu in the Metro
politan of the new and valuable G;is pro
duced by Dr. McConnell, of Washington,
from common wood. The invention is one
of the greatest and most praciical importance
now before the American people. It is t-
work a complete revolution in the process <>t
lighting the world, aud may he rendered
very subservient in all manufacturing, me
chanical, artistic aud culinary purposes..
A scientific examination of this American
Wood Gas shows the following results:
1st. One pound of the best kind of yellow
pine wood will produce eight cubic feet of
the best illuminating Gas. The Gas can he
made from all other kinds of wood, but pine
is the most appropriate and profitable.
2d. The charcoal produced from the wood,
in the manufacturing of the Gas, is worth
more than the wood was before the Gas was
extracted
poor children amounted to nearly one thousand,
and many very deserving subjects were not paid
for, partly from the fact of their not being reported
by the Receiver of Tax Returns, whose duty it
was to report widows and orphans as wall a* those
paying taxes, and partly from the Grand Jury's
not knowing the parents whose names were not
reported with the scholars.
I perceive those schools have increased this year
and may reasonably suppose more scholars will be
returned and necessarily more funds needed; but
as some funds are in hand I would suggest that
the same amount of tax this year will be sufficient,
viz: 25 per cent. The Tax Collector has not
paid in full the taxes assessed tor this purpose for
last year, but informs me ho is using the proper
means for the collection of the same. Some more
may be collected and some insolvenccs may be
looked for, whieh, together with the amount col
lected this year, at 25 per rent, may enable me to
pay in full all accounts rend* red in this year. The
idea of 25 per coat for poor school pnrposes being
oppressive is fallacious, as I have not heard any
say they were not willing to aid, as need be, foi
tbe improvement and moral condition of our rising
generation, which is enlisting the minds of tht
whole country.
I therefore hope your honors will look more to
tho benefit to be derived from a good and whole
some school system, which can only be effected by
paying teachers for their services, than to the
• mount drawn from yqpr citizens by way of taxa
tion for such purposes- JOS. H. MEAD,
Ordinary.
We fully concur in the recommendation of the
Ordinary, and recommend 25 per cant for pooi
schooj purposes.
Yfe hare not had tbe Tax Collector’s book before
us, conseqcently we can make no report on that
department. We would have beeu glad to devote
more of our time to the business of the county, but
owing to so many appeal cases, we have done all
that we could.
Wc have enquired into the arrangement exist
ing between tbe city authorities and the Xuferiot
Court in relation to tbe use of the West end of tbe
City Hull ns a Court Room, which guarantees t<
the county the free use of said West end of Cit\
tinll for said purpose for dn indefinite period »1
ime, subject to be annulled by the eity giving tl:i
uunty eighteen mouths notice. Considering thi.
arrangement, whieh was expected would he made,
•end was used as an argument in favor of a new
louuty iu getting up the petition, aud which. w<
.hiuk, was the chief instrument in its favor, the
city have iu good faith nobly responded to the ex
p.-ctutiuus of the people. Such a magnificent
.ouse as tbe City liall needs no encomiums from
u‘. Long may it stand—long live the interest ot
cue city.
We find that arrangements have been made for
the building of u substantial Brick Jail on a site
within convenient distance of the City Hall, tht
contract bus been let out at the sum of nine thou-
,and dollars, to be completed by thc 24th of Sep
tember next.
We would respectfully recommend that our State
Legislature return to annual sessions, as we believe
.t would be to the interest of the people.
Iu taking into consideration the situation of

with the exception of the road leading from At-

oial oration upon the evils of Intemperance.
It waa about the number of State eases that
had their origin in rum—the taxation—an
noyance—rowdyism, and so forth, that all
spring from this same bad liquor. Though
we, as just chroniclers, must admit, that
this is an unprosperous picture, and in some
hands yields a due amount of pathos and
strong talk, nevertheless it sounds so like an
old tale that we are all left free to discuss
the same points as the speaker advances
without losing our mental equilibrium. We
are much pleased to learn that Mr. Overby
is a temperate as well as & temperance lec
turer, and that he rebuked, by his praise
worthy example, the previous efforts of some
of his friends and supporters made a short
while since upon the same spot and in the
same line of discussion. But what we es
pecially desire and ask is, that we may be
informed distinctly of tbe fact, is Mr. Over
by in favor of positive and direct legislation
against tbe sale, and tbe use also, of spirit
uous liquors? We are not talking about
ihe use of liquor for running machinery,
(“ mechanicle perposes,”) but for the real
good it d-.es one. Are we to understand
that the Prohibition party are now claiming
our votes because, if in power, they will not
allow us to buy or sell liquor to drink—to
drink, that’s the point?
We will state why we suspect this matter
is most carelessly suffered to remain in great
mystery. We first heard qt Newnau, that
Mr. Overby avowed that the anti-rummers
were in favor of throwing off the “ license
law ” restrictions, and making itan open field
and a fair fight to all sellers of the “ar
dent.” We took this view of it ourselves in
our first notice of Mr. Overby’s platform
and so did others of our press. To-day.
however, a highly intelligent friend, and
one well accustomed to keep the run of an
argument himself, assured us that Mr. Over
by had been altogether misrepresented by
this view of his position or he had changed
his ground in a most material matter since
his Newnan speech. For our friend distinct
ly stated his recollection of the point made
yesterday to be, that while the Prohibition
ists were in favor of repealing all license
laws, they were at the same time in for re
taining every disqualifying clause attaching
to those same statutes. That is to say,
while Mr. Overby would repeal a law allow
ing one to sell liquor under a license, he
would at the same time punish him for vio
lating these very same laws, if he sold
to any one without a license. There may
be something really good in all this—there
should be by all means for it is certainly
-'oing a long ways after it—all round your
elbow to get to your thumb. Was all this
trouble taken to keep from blurting it right
out, that if a man is dry and wants a drink
; hat he shall not have it—that in Georgia
Mr. O. thinks we had better not sell or buy
■ iquor and that for his part we shant if he
can help i\ This would be understandable.
A startling truth like this would go slap
(trough ten thousand ears in Georgia with
r.he crash of big thunder.
But it appears that upon this particular
point we must await further revelations.—
We said we were in doubt, because another
friend who heard Mr. Overby at the City
Hall was just as certain ns the gentleman
first referred to in this article could be as to
his recollection, that Mr. Overby yesterday
stuck to his Newnan platform, and w’&s in
favor of hoisting all the gates and letting the
“peach and honey” flow. Now here are
two intelligent auditors who went to hear
ind learn upon this identical point, whose
recollections of the Prohibition platform as
la'd down yesterday are directly in conflict.
Are we indeed so unlucky as to have two
“wings”of the same Know-Nothing party to
fight. We would not for anything whatever
willingly misrepresent any man or set of men
and shall take pleasure, whenever we aro so
unfortunate as to do others injustice iu our
columns, of making all proper amends.—
But we do, in the most emphatic manner,
protest against any more masked purposes
in our party organizations or any other than
tangible and well defined issues upon which
the parties before the country can go to
trial. Any other mode of conducting a
party contest will settle nothing and will
fail of reaching either the confidence or the
judgment of the people.
“Toombs and . s tefhens.—We are glad to
learn that both of these distinguished gen-
riemcn are open and avowed in their oppo
sition to this secret political orginization—
Know Nothingism. With their well known
influence with the great body of what once
construed the Whig party, and the almost
united opposition of the Democrat party,
we have nothing to fear on this subject.”—
Macon Telegraph.
Fortunately for Messrs. Toombs and Ste
phens. the Macon Telegraph is not very re
liable authority, to those who are in seurch
of truth, in any matter connected with those
gentlemen. Messrs. Toombs and Stephens
are not members of the order, but their sym
pathies are with the order in all proper ef
forts to relieve the country from the influ
ence of the miserable tricksters and time
serving damagngues, who constitute the
present miserable, vescilating, weak admin
istration.
There then, we hope the public itch to
know where the Twins stand, is hereby re
lieved. “ Not members of the order,” in
deed, “ but their sympathies” are with the
order to relieve the country, Ac., Ac. Well,
good pious souls, what are they about ? hat
ing tricksters (?) as they have always done,
that they do not become “ members of the
order,” and thereby givo aid and comfort to
Know Nothing patriotism in its efforts to
redeem the country ? If believing men to
be right and then standing aloof with your
pitiful sympathies when you ought to be at
work co-operating—if pretending great in
dignation at corruption in high places and
then skulking from the place that belongs to
you, in tl ' v. f those who say they
fight agaii; . - ■- > ption, be not “mise
rable, vascihun ^ -‘::d weak,” then what can
be? If the friends of these celebrated men
who think their merits exceed tho bounds
of ail previous reward and who rack
their invention for new honors to confer
upon them, can think that it is handsome
or dutiful conduct in a public man to stand
aloof habitually at all critical conjunctures
until the signs of the times intimate the
safe side to take, then we think their no
tions of tbe “miserable vaseilating and
weak ’’ stand greatly in need of an enlarged
oharity. If Messrs. Toombs and Stephens
ever contributed a mite towards deciding
the public mind upon one doubtful political
question, ve would like to know wlien it
was. Should the Virginia elections go
Kuow-Notiiisg-wi»e we predict the syrupa*
ization. If the organisation rabeerves i
end then must that be based upon such prin
ciples of public duty and upon such a perfect
same titneW shall leave no doubt upon tbe
mind of any man that what has been done
by the party has been fairly done. Party
conventions, thus fairly representing the in
terests of the public and the men who are
deemed worthy by their friends to defend
those interests in public stations, should have
thrown around all they do the very weightiest
sanctions—so weighty indeed that to oppose
the voioe of the party so expressed should
place the man who does it outside the pale of
the party to which he professes to belong.—
It is common, we know, for objectors very
nice about matters that don’t suit them to
cant against the morality of this, but it is
all cant.
Let the will of the party be fairly expres
sed, then let every man stand by to do bis
duty. But we would ask our friends if in
view of the fact that conventions are shortly
to be called for the express purpose of nom
inating candidates to represent the party
will it not inevitably give rise to hard feel
ing, and a suspicion among those who desire
to see their particular friends advanced, that
to allow the Party Press, to take sides for
any particular individual to the exclusion
of others is giving unfair, advantages to Ed
itorial favorites. We have ever , thought
that a party paper should stand perfectly,
perpendicular between aspirants of the same
party—at last we speak of tbe Democratic
press, Whigs have their own ideas of policy
and fair dealing, and what is more, we are
glad, we have no toleration for them. We
wish to be understood. The distinguished
gentleman, spoken of by two of the Demo
cratic Journals of the 4th District as their
choice for Representative of that District,
we would not disparage in any way, nor
would we trouble our readers with any ex
pression of the appreciation in which we
hold that gentleman.
Should the party select Judge Warner
as its candidate we shall leave no duty un
performed in attempting to give effect to the
party will, and we know that in his hands
the interests of the District will be fitly rep
resented. What we say here will, with
equal justice, apply to our friends in the
3d. And if any thing was wanting to prove
our sincerity in the word we are now put
ting in for the harmony and union of the
Democracy, we are sure that it is' more than
supplied by the-fact that what we say in re
gard to Judge Warner is equally applicable
to our friend, Mr. L. Q. Lamar, of Macon.
For if we were called upon to name one j
whom we regarded as among the most mag
nanimous and truthful of uten—the best of
friends—ore of the most enlarged capacity
of mind, and that mind the most thor
oughly disciplined and capable of achieving
as much as any man of his age, we should
point to Mr. Lamar as coming nearer to this
high standard than any man we ever knew.
But, for all this, we would not advise that
any one should urge his claims out of tho
proper forum. Those who have done well
will deserve well, and none should be afraid
that their lights have been burning under
a bushel all this while. For our part we
are ready to surrender private preferences
in deference to the better judgment of the
Convention—but we ardently hope that the
party will, in every case, select its best and
truest men, for we may depend upon it, that
timid and indifferent intellects will be sadly
cut of place in the next Congress.

The « real Race.
The most brilliant event in the sporting
annals of the American turf, giving, as it
has, the palm to the renowned Lexing
ton, came off yesterday over the Matai-
rie Course, and its result greatly sur
passed the most ardent hopes and enthusi
astic expectation of tbe friends of the win
ner, and the lovers of the turf sports.
The day was the loveliest of the whole
season. As the hour appointed for the great
contest approached, the town was all asiir
with the excitement incident to the occasion.
Yehicles of all sorts were in requisition, and
our beautiful level Shell Roads wete Ailed
with them from the'last paving stone to the
gales of the course. The display In equi
tation during that busy part of the day
which may be defined as “ Going to the
Race,” were almost as amusing and exciting
as the greater event, for witnessing which
so many thousands were intent.
Tbe judges selected for the occasion were
Gen. Stephen M. Westmore, upon the part
of the Virginia gentlemen ; Arnold Harris,
Esq., for Mr. TenBroeck, and John G.
Cocks, Esq., the President of the Metairie
Jockey Club, as umpire.
The timers were the non. Duncan F.
Keener, Capt. W. J. Minor, and Stephen D.
Elliott, Esq.
It being the first event of the season, there
was the usual bustle at the gates, the dis
tribution of the members’ badges and the
ed for action, and as he started up th*
to do that
utiful and
around juet
reached the
tapped, he
intended he
was run too.
_ implished
in L47i, (the first half mile in 53 seconds.)
Upon reaching the stand it was intimated
mu
the beginning of tho first i
spectful distance he kept in . T
certainly have done him an injury rather
nftic~4BrBgflgw
enough for Lexington,to.hear the .^ound of
his hoofs.
The pace in the second mile visibly de
creased ; Arrow, who was started before its
Commencement, waiting about 30 yards be
hind Lexington. In the third mile. Arrow
closed the gap, and Lexington hearing him,
was a little more anxious, and slightly in
creased his pace. Upon entering the fourth
mile Arrow was stopped and Joe Blackburn
went at ^biin again, hut as in the first'in
stance he was “like chins in porridge,” of
no benefit.. Lexington darted off in earn
est, running the last mile, iu T.48J. He
reached the head of the front stretch in 6:55,
running its entire length in-241 seconds.—
The whole time of the four miles in 7:19|,
carrying 103 pounds. Giipatrick being 3
pounds over weight.
That the course was in admirable condi
tion, we need not assert, but that we have
seen it in better order for safety and for
time, v;e think we may assert. The writer
of this was not present when Lexington and
Lecorate met last spring, and can therefore
make no comparison, but agrees with “A
Young Turfman,” that the extreme hard
ness of a track might prevent a horse from
fully extending himself; which must liavo
been the case with Lexington yesterday.—
He lost his left fore plate, and half the right
one; and Giipatrick, at the drawgates, the
last half mile had no little difficulty in keep
ing him on his course, Lexington making
violent effort to swerve to the right where
it was soft and heavy.
With regard to the time, not a doubt can
be entertained, the of.’cial being slower than
any other.
butside, by many experienced timers, it
was made iu 7:19£. *"
The excitement attending the progress of
this remarkable race cannot be described
It wns intense throughout, and to those who
had no opportunity of taking note of time,
Lexington’s deceptive, fox-like gait could
not have given them hopes of success. The
joyousness aud hilarity everywhere visible,
which followed the announcement that
Lexington was the victor, showed the feeling
of the majority of the vast assemblage.
It must be a source of the highest grati
fication to the rider of Lexington that he
guided him through his perilous journey
successfully, despite the prophscies and
hopes of defeat that attended him. In. this
connection we may fearlessly assert that
through a long erreer of ucefulness and suc
cess of more than twenty years upon the
turf, the name of Gilbert \\ . Patric, (better
known as Giipatrick, the rider,)has never
been tainted with even the b eiuh of suspi
cion, and that the bright escutcheon of his
name remains untarnished; and as this is
perhaps his last appearance in public, it is
the writer’s hearty wish that he may live to
enjoy uninterrupted flow of worldly ejimfort
and that when death calls hitu to answer
that to which all living must respond, he
may be full of j ears and honor. The name
of Giipatrick and Lexington atie Inseparably
connected with the greatest achievement
upon the American turf.
That this great race will go down to gen
erations jet unknown, ns the fastest ever
made, is the honest conviction of the writer.
The following is the.
record:

Tlie Election In Kansas.
The telegrapmc news ot yesterday con
firm, and more than confirm, the indications
of the day before. It seems probable that
not only has the pro-slavery ticket prevail
ed, but that not even a single Free-Soilcr
has been elected to the Legtsla ure. This
is a most extraordinary and interesting re
sult. When the Nehraska-Kansas bill was
passed, we took it for granted, that on the
ordinary principles of colonization, those
Territories would he filled up from the re
gion that had the most redundant popula
tion, and that all the South could possibly
gain was in the abjuration by Congress of
the assumed right to determine whether the
Territorial Governments should, or should
not allow the existence of slavery.
But it was not longafterthe passage of this
bill, that the scheming North, always knock
ing out its own brains by Collision with its
own projects, determined as a master stroke
of policy, to force the coloniza ion by a hir
ed inundation of Abolition adventurers.—
So sure were they of success that they boast
ed of the means, and all the world became
acquainted with their purpose of colonizing
a pledged Abolition population on the Wes
tern border of Missouri. This is the true
secret of the rapid settlement of Kansas by
the slaveholders. They were challenged to
a trial of strengt l with the free-soilers, and
the stake was their own domestic peace and
prosperity. They have fought the first bat
tle and the result is ominous of the final is
sue. They have gained a victory, in which
the free-soilers are nowhere.
The South would not probably have con
tested this field at all, if the contest had not
strangers’ badges, the admissions to the dif- —
ferent stands, and, from the character of the j been forced upon them ; but when the srrug-
event, an unusual rush of carriages, cabs,! gle became inevitable, it is glorious to see
buggies, waggons, saddle horses and foot how the spirit of Kentucky and Missouri
passengers; and, by 3 o’clock, the course
presented a most brilliant appearance.—
There were representatives of e\ ery section
of the country, and almost every State in
the Uuion, and among them we were happy
to see a goodly show of the fairer portion of
creation.
The field inside the course presented a
most animated appearance, and the feeling
planters rose up, and witn resistless force
they planted the Southern standard on the
plains of Kansas. Ali honor to them 1—
They have not only done an act wise in ref
erence to this emergency, but they have af
forded a lesson that we hope will lie tong
cherished and repented by the people of the
South. That lesson is the right and power

new name. The evil is no worse than it has
always been, unless we regard that sort of
daring that now expresses sentiments once
hid, but which have been always in the
heart an evidence of increasing obliquity.
We have long since felt that this American
ism was old Whiggery breaking out under
a new and in ire malignant type. And thu’
it would have argued a great distrust of mo
tive and a very hard censure upon tho puri-
ty of tho Repuhli::an charac'or of any jartj
here to have intimated a belief that matten
would have proceeded to the dangernui
lengths to which Know-Xothing'sm hai
carried them, wo yet from the first never
doubted that war, and war to tho knife, waj
intended to be made by the Subterraneans
upon the principles and administration that
Democrats sustained. The marked change
that every one sees has taken place in the
conduct of almost every Whig paper in the
State in the last fortnight towards the K.
N’s. rnu-t convince eiery Democrat who en
tertained theidea that he could maintain hie
old and cherished principles while healloirehi
himself to be swallowed up by the “secret
order,” that this was a vain hope. Every such
Democrat will 60on see, if he has not al
ready been fully satisfied, that Kuow-Noth-
ingism, when it promised to hold in check
the hosts of abolition and to bring the gov
ernment to a safe and sane policy where
Southern interests were concerned, promised
what it could not, or would not, perform.—
While, in lieu of this bright hope, we have
had substituted a system of domestic perse
cution and proscription that really allows
our foes to strike down a large class of men
in the free States who have nevor taken
sides against us by word or deed. A pretty
way, this, of strengthening the South. Had
the Irish taken a stand for the abolition
ists or the Catholic priesthood furnished
them subsidies, os nearly all the other
churches had done, we never -would have
heard % syllable about the danger that the
State of Georgia was in from 6,000 foreign
ers, or that the Pope was about to be after
us with fire and faggot.
This most pittifnl twaddle we must endure
to hear and are teased to believe all because
the larger part of the foreign vote—espe
cially the Catholic portion of it—has always
gone with tho Democracy and the Whigs
have never been able to take it away from
us. Gen. Scott tried to seduce them with
his soft blarney about “ the rich brouge,”
but it would not all do, and seduction fail
ing they now try force. We are agreed
with our Cass friends in the propriety of
speaking home to these men and of leaving
no words of denunciation and warning un
spoken. For if the South is prepared to
uphold a political party whose principles
must inevitably lead to civil bloodshed and
commotion we wish to know it. The soon
er tho better. Here we were weak enough
—distracted and divided enough before,
heaven knows, without introducing into our
midst devices of outrage aud oppression as
if on purpose to finish the work that North
ern fanatics began. It has been, we allow,
a deep laid, a profound scheme to accomplish
its real purpose—the division and weaken
ing of the South. That Know Nothingism
can effect any thing else exceeds tbe wildest
dream of the wildest visionary.
