Ifhstelliuicoiis. Cass'defence of lilmselfnnd his doctrines. Wei find, in the -V. Y. He nth l. an elaborate defense of himself and Ids doctrine, against the attacks of the •Richmond Enquirer, by (ioncral Cuss, being the substance ol a speech re cently delivered by him at Detroit. In these perilous times, when the great body of our northern fellow citi zens have been drawn into the mael strom of abolition fanaticism, and the politicians of the school of General Cass are being overwhelmed because •of their supposed friendship for the South, we cannot -comprehend, much less approve, the policy of holding up Mich men as General Cass before the Southern people as lit objects of pep* .lar odium. There are, in the North ern States, millions of men who are much bitterer enemies of the South, and precious few warmer friends, than General Cass, as wc shall proceed to show. In his recent defence of himself he uses the following emphatic language: *• As American citizens, you (citizens of the free States) have nothing to do with the question of slavery out of your own States, except to carry into effect the provisions of the consti tution for the surrender of the fugitives from labor, and faithfully to observe its stipulations respecting the princi ples of taxation and representation connected with that institution." When it is recollected that his language was used at Detroit, the capital of Michigan, and in the midst of the tornado ,w Inch has just swept over the North prostrating every man whodid not bow before it, and while smarting under the virndent abuse of Southern editors, it certainly gives General Cass some claims to be H eated with candor, if not leniency, by Southern editors when discussing those issues upon which he differs with the South. General Cass regards slavery as a J social and political evil. So does every i politician residing North of Mason and | J)ixon’.s line. President Pierce has ; given utterance to similar opinion.s— ! Put General Cass does not regard i a very as a moral evil, as does the j •great body of Northen politicians. — j In his Detroit speech lie says: “1 | was reported to have .added that slave- I ry was also a moral evil. I did not I say so. Ido not think so, under the eir- i cumstanees in which it exits in the ! .Southern States. Such an assertion I wotlld have been inconsistent with the! main position I assume—that the pre- j sent inhabitants of those States were not j responsible for the introduction ofslve-a j ry, nor did 1 see how it was possible ! fur them to abolish it.”’ General Cass is ah advocate of Squat- ] ter Sovereignty. So, also, is General j Pierce, as are also must, if not all, ol I the jiceuliar friends of the South in the | Northern States; and if llic advocacy j of Squatter Sovereignty is an unpar- j •donable otVense, then it is high time j that the Democratic party were deSolv- j ted, as that doctrine is held by the whole j Notherli half of its members. Now we do not regard Squatter Sovereign ny as the most odious heresy of the -lay, though of course we condemn it. It, at least, denies the authority of Congress to interfere with slavery in the Territories, where the decision will be necessarily against the South, and gives the South an open field and a jair light for their occupancy. yj/l conclusion, we would suggest that our Dempcrntio eotemporaries canjind plenty and lit subjects, at the North, in the ranks of our avowed enemies, lo pour out the viols of their wrath upon, compared with whom General Cass is as Hyperion to a satyr. —Times and tienthid. An iron theatre, ninety feet by forty •to be transported to Australia, is being built in Mauchestfr, England'. VliOM Till-: CASSVUXK STAMUUD. > English Women and American Ladies. m There,are few things conducive*,to health, So much neglected by Ameri* -can ladies as exercise. Many of them sit and sew, or read hour after hour, until their cheeks grow pale, audtheir bipod circulates languidly, arid their spirits become depressed, and then if questioned in regard to their indisposi tion, they profess? to utter ignorance of its cause and origin. The English women have rosy cheeks, and spark ling eyes, and well rouudej dforms, and they carry these characteristics of beau tv with them into old age; but the American lady begins to fade at twen tv live, and at forty she is withered and old. The English woman is sel dom ton ml without a pair of stout.walk ing shoes, and a dress which she is not afraid of soiling—the American lady trips along daintily in soft cloth gai ters, holding her silken skirts up as if fearful of contact with the dusty street 'The Englishwomen walks two or three or four miles and back again ;—tlu* American lady shrinks from the fatigue of a shopping expedition. — The English woman if asked about it, will tell you the who!* 1 economy of our bodies is calculated lor constant mus cular exertion—the American lady's thoughts have never taken such a com mon sense practical view of the sub ject; indeed she will tell you that she has never thought much about it any wav. "As hale as an English matron” has passed into a proverb; ‘‘as silly and weak as American ladg " will even tually become, we fear, an adage too. 0. W. Ik The Laws and Journals. Inquiries hayc been recently made through the Savannah press, as to the probable time of the publication and distribution of the Laws and Journals of last session, to which no satisfactory response has been given from any quarter. The condition of things in regard to this matter for several years past has been not very creditable to the pre sent system of publication as it pre vails in Georgia. .It is now more than twelve months since the assem bling of the last .Legislature, and near ten months since the final adjourmetit. Vet, its proceedings are still almost a sealed book to the public. During all this time, we have been living un der laws that few have seen or know any thing about. This is almost as bad "as the state of things under the Roman Emperor, who hung his laws up so high on the walls, and printed them in characters so small, that it was almost impossible to read them. These delays, which have occured not for the lirst time this year, have had. and must continue to have, great influence on the question of annual sessions. We may consider a recurrence'to an mud sessions, however desirable in other respects, indefinitely postponed. For the people will reason, why have anew Legislature meet before the people know what laws the old one has enacted. By the time they arc in print, they might be no longer in force. The process of repeal might be already complete, and new laws enacted, which in turn, would take twelve months to reach the public eye. In contrast with this system, we will state that a lew days ago wc were in the State Library at Millcdgeville and there saw the Journal of proceedings of the Council and lower house of Ptali Territory for 1853-4 published at (ircat Sail Labe dtp. It contains among other interesting documents, Gov. Brigham Voting’s Message. The Leg islature of that distant people adjourn ed January 20th. 18-51, arid yet we have the Journals of proceedings at tlic Capital of Georgia, while the pro ! eecdings of our own Legislature which adjourned a few days later only, are still awaiting publication. W e also saw at the same time and ! place a copy of tfic Law's passed by j the Legislature of Connecticut, which adjourned on the 23d of last June. \\ e leave comment to the public. [ Cbnsl it'Uion a list. CnuoisS Trap. —A farmer who had bought a calf from a bucher, desired him to drive it to his farm, and place it in his stable, which lie accordingly did. Now it happened that very day that a man with a grinding organ and a dancing bear, passing by that way began their antics in front of the farm, i Alter amusing the farmer's family for some time, the organ man entered his house, and asked the farmer ii he could give him a night’s lodging. The farmer replied that lie could give the man a lodging, but he was at a loss where to put the boar. Alter musing a little, he determined to bring the calf | inside the house, and place the bear in j the stable, which was done. Now the butcher expecting the calf would re main in tie stable all night, resolved to steal it ere morning, and the far mer and guest were in the night awak ened by a fearful yelling from, the out building. Both got up, and taking a lantern, entered the.stable, where the farmer f< >und, to his surprise, the butch er of whom lie had bought the calf, in the grasp of the bear, which was hug ging him most tremendously, for lie could not bite, being muz/ied. The farmer instantly uuderstoodd the na ture of the ease, and briefly mentioned llie circumstances to the owner of *fhc Bruin, who, to punish the butcher for his intended theft, called out to the bear, —“Hug him Tommy!” when the bear embraced him so lovingly and earnestly that the butcher roared most, hideously with the pain. After they thought lie had suffered enough, they set him free, and the butcher slunk away, glad to escape with his life, while the uuner and Ids guest returned to then beds, in great glee. Advertising is the oil which the wise tradesmen put in their lamps, and the foolish ones neglect, to use. Mr. Douglas’Slave Plantation—How he came by it. The Clevekmd (Ohio) Leader of Oc tober 3d is responisble for the follow ing statements with regard to Mr. Douglas’ individual connection with the slavery interest of this country, and which are mado in reply to an Ohio paper, which had denied that ho was,, the owner of any slaves, or was ever guilty of profane swearing. The Leader savs the facts were obtained “from a personal acquaintance of Douglas, who had them directly from his own mouth.'’,. The wife of Douglas, whom he mar ried about, twelve yours ago, was the heiress expectant at the time, with a sister, of a worn-out; North Carolina plantation, with its 150 negroes and some Bf>o,ooo of bank stock. Subse quently toher marriage, the father-in law purchased two tracts of land in Mississippi and stocked one with 80 and the, other with 40 negroes, the residue of his “peculiar property ’ remaining at the dilapidated homestead. A lew years afterwards the farther-in-law ot tered to make a gift of the larger Mis sissppi plantation to Douglas. But fear of public sentiment in Illinois and the North deterred him from receiving the “livestock*’ in his own name. Ite suggested to the old man that, under the ci renmstances, it was better that the negroes should be settled upon his wife, which accordingly was done. By the deaths of his lather-in-law, his wife’s sister and his wife, another planta tion, with4oorsofield handsand a num ber of family slaves, fell into Douglas charge—though a portion of the prop erty is incumbered by the life estate ot the widow Douglas derives the rents and prof lits of both the Mississippi plantations, ! and annually pockets the surplus earn ings of 100 <>r more slaves. He visits his plantations frequently, and gives his negroes a grand barbacue once a vear: inspects Iris crop of piceaninies bf African or American paternity: gives instructions to his overseers, as well as receipts for the cash extracted from the toil of his human chattel dur ing the preceding year, lie will be legally entitled to repeat his barbacues and ■collections for fifteen years to come, when his eldest son will come of age and relieve his father of one-third of the profits derived from the slaves. — Douglas does not technically own the Mississippi slaves but be owns their usufruct, as a lawyer would term it, which means, “the right of enjoying a thing which belongs to another, and <>l deriving from it all the profit or benelit it may produce.” Vidsrn'DESoF Fortune.- —A wri ter in the London Economist sums up a very able article on Napoleon 111, as follows: “The same man who landed at Boul ogne in 1840, with a single steamer and a Jew friends, on a desperate and abortive expedition revisits it in 1854, to review a vast army and re ceive the homage of countless specta tors. The same man who, six years ago live<l in obscurity in London, scarce ly able to pay his tailor's and quite un ahfo to pay flip? horse dealer’s bill— whom many looked upon as stupid, and whom none looked upon as wise, of whom few augured well, and whom few would trust much, we have just seen receiving the visits and compli ments of the consort of our Queen, entertaining three royal guests at his ta ble! one of them the son-in-law of the very monarch whom he had succeeded, and admitted beyond all denial into ,the social circle of royal personages. Nor is this change in his singular for tunes the only one. nor perhaps the greatest. Wc can imagine him smil ing with even a more grim satisiaction as he contrasts the language of the English press regarding him in 1852 and now—sitting with the Times or the Examiner, of December,' 1851. or of August, 1854, before him, and mar velling ar the metamorphosis—the un j measured abuse which was showered : upon him then and the decorous respect and cordial praise with which he is spo I ken of now. The ‘swell’ and t he sanguin ary and audacious ruffian is now the i polite and sagacious Emperor, and tetc a-tetc with Prince Albert and King j Leopold.” A Tame Whale. —An eastern trav eller, in a newly published work, en titled “NotesofTravel,” relates the fol lowing singular fact which came under his observation at Muscat: ‘‘No visitor to the harbor is better j welcomed by the natives than “Mus cat Tom.” Thisname has been given by | sailors to a male finback whale which j has made an habitual practice for over forty years to enter, feed, and frolic about the cove several hours in each dav, always leaving before night.— Sometimes a smaller member of his tribe, supposed to be a female, aeeom- j pained him. His length may not be less than seventy feet, and that of his | companion fifty feet. Sine,e his arrival signalizes the departure of the sharks which infest the harbor to the preven tion of sea bat hing by the natives, the most strenuous caution is observed not to interfere with his pursuits and di version. He shows no fear ol such vessels as trespass upon his watery Held. One day as lie came rolling leisurely and jollilv along side of a vessel at anchor in the harbor, and on board of which I was, one of the crew threw with considerable impetus a stick of wood into his open month, as lie raised his head out, of the water. This breach of the good treatment which he had bye ii wont to receive did not draw any sign-of displeasure from his whale* slujr, although more loan one maledic tion was bestowed upon the impru dent tar by the exasperated natives who had observed, his censurable eon duet..

Swiss hclin furnishes the following: Six years ago we hoard Rev. Dr. Wilson, then of Alleghany City, and Professor of Theology in the-Reform ed Presbyterian Church, sav that in less than ten years a war would break out in Europe between Russia and the Western Powers— a war which would be one of the most terrible ever record ed in the annals of history, and which by its wholesale slaughters would car ry the name of Christendom With a thrill of wonder to the most remote fold barbarous nations, awaken a curi osity about civilization tliat would pre pare the way for the of the Bible and Christianity, into those benighted lauds, whose people Avould be taught by the rumors of this war, to respect and tear the arts of civiliza tion. This declaration was made again and again in public from the pulpit, and was the result of a life-time study of the prophecies of the biblc. The war, then unthought of, is now begun, and the aged preacher always said the Western Powers would be victorious; that the teeth of the great Bear would be forever broken, and with them the powers of the Pope. We heard this same man predict the Mexican war years before it begun, and tell the great tire of ’45 in Pittsburg; and we incline to think his gift of second sight was more reliable than that of the maker of this old statue, and that the Russians will be masters of Constanti nople. From the first word about proposed hostilities between Russia and Turkey, W'C have been in the habit of telling our friends to buy their flour, for it would be fifteen or twenty dol lars per barrel before it would be live again, and so wc still think it will be; for we are of opinion our preacher saw far into the prophecies already written, he said this war would take place- —would be very terrible and gen eral, and that it was the last war be fore the universal peace of the Millen nium. Farmers. —Adam was a farmer, while yet in Paradise, and after his fall was commanded to earn his bread by the sweat of his brow. Job, the honest, and upright, and patient, was a fanner, and his endurance pass ed into a proverb. Socrates was a farmer, and yet wedded to his calling the glory of his immortal philosophy. St. Luke was a farmer, and divides with Prometheus the honor of subject ing the ox for the use of man.— Cincinnatus was a farmer, and the no blest Roman of them all. Burns was a farmer, and the muse found him at the plow and tilled his soul with poe try. Washington was a fanner, and retired from the highest earthly sta tion to enjoy the quiet of rural life, and present to the world a spectacle of tinman greatness. To these may be added a host of others who sought peace and repose in the cultivation of their mother earth; the enthusiastic La fayette, and the steadfast Pickering, the scholastic Jefferson, and the fiery Ran dolph. all found the Eldorado of con solation from life's cares, and troubles, in the green and verdant lawns that surrounded their homesteads. .V private letter gives some amusing particulars of the gathering of the so called Know Nothings at Cincuinatti. The first fact that appears is the pre set, re of a number of’ I Yhig leaders. I liman, of New York; Conrad, of Philadelphia; Sugar, of Richmond; Raynor, of North Carolina ; Davis, of Kentucky, are among the list. Ao prominent Henmcrat is on the (/round. how full of significance is this! The Whigs, finding that a number of Dem ocrats have been entrapped into these Know Nothing lodges, now come forth to take charge of an army already re cruited to their hands,, to divide the offices among themselves, and to carry out the measures they cannot consum mate alone. Tliat such an organiza tion can last is impossible. The mo ment these Whig leaders are shown to be at its head, thousands will aban don it, and return to their former friends and to their old belief. Thus will another evidence be furnised to the world that there is but one endur ing and indestructible organization in this country, and tliat is the Democrat ic party. — Washington Union. A Woman’s Magnanimity — .A miller’s dog broke his chain ; the mil ler ordered the maid servant to tie him up again. She was attacked and bit ten by the dog. On hearing her cries, the miller and his people ran to her as sistance. “ Keep off," said she, shut ting the yard door, “ the dog is mad. [ am already bitten, and must chain him alone.” Notwithstanding his bi ting, she did not let him go, but chain ed him up. and retired to her chamber, and with blest resignation prepar ed to die. Symptoms ot hydrophobia soon broke out; she died in a few days. The dog was killed without do ing further mischief. — Home 'Jour nal. To Preserve a Bouquet.— -A flor ist of many years’ experience gives the iollowing receipt for preserving bou quets for an unusual period, which may be useful to our lady readers : first get the bouquet, which is not very easy to do just now, but when you get it, sprinkle it, lightly with fresh water. Then put it into a vessel containg soap suds, which will nutrify the roots and keep the flowers as bright as no nr. — Take the bouquet out of llie suds ev ery morning, and lay it sideways, the stalks entering first,” in water. Keep it there a minute or two, then take it out, and spiinkle it lightly by the hand with water. Kepi ace it in the soap-suds, and it will bloom as freshly as when first gathered. The soap-suds need changing every three or four days. By observing these rules, a jbou« quet can be kept bright arid beautiful for at least a month, and will last lon ger, it is very possible ; but the atten tion to the fair, but frail creatures, as directed above, must be strictly obsev ed, or the last rose of summer will not be faded alone, but all wilt perish, The Kbow Nothings* If {lie reader will fast Lift evS over the list of know-ilothings in the differ ent States, lie will find that those who are notorious ns its leaders are also no torious as abolitioists, with inconsider able exceptions. Every member of Congress elected by the know-nothings, exclusive of some anti-Nebraska demo crats, is also pledged to the abolition plan of admitting no more slave States —of a repeal of the fugitive-slave law —and the restoration of the Missouri Compromise line. It is so in Maine.— It is so in Massachusetts. It is so in Now Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio. In* diann. Illinois, Michigan, and Wis consin. Even in New York, where Scwardism took ground against the know nothings, the know nothings have | not elected a single national man to Congress,but the reverse. To strength en this array of facts, it is only neecssa ry to state that the leaders of this or der are all notorious for their hostili ty to the South. 1 low many of those now in session at Cincinnati, apart from a few southern wings, who are al ways ready to unite with faction to put down tile democratic party, are the allies of the abolitionists? Take the new mayor of Philadelphia, who is probaly the ablest and most powerful enemy of southern men in the State ol Pennsylvania ; take the new governor of Massachusetts, Mr. Gardner, who j unfurled the flag of know nothingism ; and abolitionism at the same time : but the roll might be indefiinitelv extended. Such is the New York Herald’s national party. The organ ization whien is to protect the rights of the States based upon the idea of assail ing the rights of the citizen ! The or ganization which proclaims and exults in the most violent intolerance, to be put forth as the champion of those con stitutional guarantees which arc based upon the broadest principles of evil liberty and national union !-- Wushincj- I ton l /non. 1)K ATII PI!

During the Irish reign of terror, in 1703, a circumstance occurred, which in the days of Sparta would have immortalized the heroine; it is almost unknown—no pen lias ever traced the story. AYe pause not to inquire into the principles that- inlluenc ed her; suffice it that she, in common with most of her stamp, beheld the struggle as one in which liberty warred with tyrany. Her only son had been taken in rebellion, and was condemn ed by martial law to death ; she followed the officer on whose word his life de pended, to the place of execution, and besought him to spare the widow’s stay : she knelt in the agony of her soul and clasped his knees, while her eyes with the glare ot a maniac fell on the child beside him. The judge was inexorable, the transgressor must die. But taking advantage of the occasion he ottered life to the culprit on condi tion of his discovering the m Tubers ol the association with which lie was con nected. The sou wavered : the mother arose from her humiliating position, and exclaimed : My child, if von do. the heaviest curse of your mother shall fall upon you, and the milk ol her bosom shall be poisoned in your veins.” He was executed: the pride of her soul enabled her to behold his death without a tear : she returned to her homo—the support of her declin ing years had fallen; the ties that bound her to life had given way, and the opening of that day that saw her lonely and childless, left her at rest forever. Her heart had broken in the strue'uic.— Mackenzie's Gazetle. BEALTIFI'L.-Here is a beautiful sen tence from the pen of Colerige. Noth ing can be more eloquent, nothing more true: “ Call not that man wretched, who, whatever else he sutlers as to pain, in flicted or pleasure denied, has a child for whom he hopes, and on whom he doats. Poverty may grind him to the dust, obscurity may east its dark man tle over him, Ids voice may he unheed ed by those among whom he dwells, and his fanev may be unknown by bis neighbors ; even pain may rack his joints, and sleep Jleo from his pillow, but he has a gem with which lie would not part for the wealth defying com putation, for fame Idling a world's ear, for the highest power, lor the sweetest sleep that ever fell on mortal's eye.’’ Mi) PC AT I ON. —Above all, children must not be taught too much, nor too soon. Knowledge A sometimes a hurl ful burden; too much of it in propor tion to the natural powers destroys originality and substitutes an unreal and insipid taste, an unconscious hypo crisy, If the. dialectic faculties are la ter in their development than the emo tions, the memory, the Imagination, and the apprehension of the senses, it can not be disputed that the young may best be influenced by personal author ity and personal example; nor that the study of languages naturally comes first in order, next the events of his tory aud human life, last of all the ab stractions of Philosophy: first iconls then things lastly ideas. —Forth Dr disk Review.
