AN INTERESTING PIG.

The sale of ardent spirits in less quantity
than fifteen gallons, is prohibited by law in
Massachusetts. A few days since q
shrewd Yankee at Dedham, resolving to
treat his friends and make q penny. in
defiance of the law, hit upon the following
expedient. He made application to the
Seectmen for license to exhibit striped
pig during the parade day, which was
granted. He accordingly procured pig,
and with brush painted some stripes on
his back, and had a tent erected on the
field, with due notice on the exterior. that
striped pig was to be seen within: price
of admission, sir and quarter cents The
rate being SO low, numerous visitors were
induced to call on his swinish majesty, and
every one on coming out appeared highly
gratifed with the kind and courteous recep.
ton lie met with from the keeper of the
remarkable pig. for each conner was treated
to glass of brandy and water, or gin, or
whatever liquor he might prefer, ,cithout
any extra charge. Some were SO pleased
that they were induced to take a second
look at the animal, and were as kindly and
literally treated as at their first visit. At
the last accounts the exhibitor was driving
brisk business, and was likely to make a
profitable days job in exhibiting his "strip.
ed pig while not few had looked at the
interesting little grunter so often and so
intently. that they could hardly perceive
the stripes

NEW YORK.

The convention which assembled at Uti-
ca on Wednesday week for the purpose of
nominating candidates for Governor and
Lieutenant Governor OF the State Of New
York. have agreed upon WILLIAM H. Sc
WARD of Cayuga as the candidate for Gov
ernor, and LUTHER BRADIsH as the candi.
date for Lieutenant Governor. These
nominations seem to be every where receiv.
ed with the most hearty appreciation and
applause. Mr.. Seward is deservedly q
great favorite all over the State, and espe-
cialIy in the western portion of it, where
lie the strong~holds of the Wings. In
1889, when a candidate for Governor, he
received the largest vote ever polled against
the regency. Mr. Bradish is also popular
man. He was one of the three candidates
in the convention for Governor, and will
add much strength to the ticket.
The Regency party have again re'nomi
mated Marcy and Tracy, the present in.
cumbents, as Governor and Lieutenant
Governor.
Col. THOMAS A. ToMLINsoN Of Essex
county has been nominated for Congress
by our friends in the Congressional District
composed of Clinton, Essex and Warren
counties. This is most excellent selec.
ton, and with proper exertions will be
crowned by signal triumph. The Dis,
trict gave 3,7ls Wing to 3,47a Regency
votes last fall, and can do better now. Let
our friends resolve that they will have q
Wing Congressman this time. They have
allowed themselves to be beaten by so or
60 votes too often. Proper organization
and strenuous efforts are all that is needed.
CLINTON CouNrY.--The Wings of Gin
ton County have nominated Andrew Moore,
for Assembly, and Horace Boardman, for
County Clerk.
The Loco Focos Of the same county have
nominated Abijah North, for Assembly, and
Smith Meade for County Clerk.

ly taken to task by some of his party, for
emitting to vote the entire locofoco ticket

under their abuse, he has been compelled
to give his reasons for so doing. We doubt
if the party will not consider the erplana.

the detection that called it forth. Hear
how Mr.. Russell explains.
"On the day of election we were in

not all but one, had given an unlimited

Of those for whom they voted.
We have not word to say against the

at this time, to agitate the question Of
treating at elections. 1t is enough that We
are conscientiously opposed to the practice.
We went TO the polls, took democratic

box with single name, that of Thomas

Such is the morality Of locofocoism.

thinking that the half smothered rebellion
will shortly break out in the Province with
renewed vigor. 1t is stated, and we have
no doubt Of it's truth, that secret organi.
cation exists throughout the whole Prov.

rise simultaneously. Some of the papers

A DIVISION OF THE UNION.

Some ten years ago, a division of the
Union began to be cautiously agtated IN
the South, by few papers, who threw out
their feelers, with view OF sounding pub.
lie opinion. The whole North rejected the
proposition with vehemence and adherence.
In the course of the time which has since
elapsed. familiarity with project which
was at first only endured, has caused it to
some extent, to be embraced at the South,
while the North, from the manner in which
the discussion has been obtruded upon them.
looks at it with far less of patriotic dread
than at first. We are sorry to learn from
the N. Y. Gazette, that there is party in
organization at the South, who openly de
sire and advocate dissolution. The editor
of that print is well qualified, by culture
and naturally acute observation, as well
es from the experience OF protracted
Southern residence, TO be credible wit
ness on the subject He says, "There
seems to be degree of skeptlcism among
our fellow citizens of the North on this
subiect-they are unwilling 10 believe that

ing as every rational and informed North

that there is any real and serious wish al
the South to bring such a calamity upon
the country. We can tell the skepllcs
tina, they don't know the reality of that
feeling so well as those who have watched
its progress by personal observation. The
desire of disunion, the spirit of dlsattectlon
to the federal compact is deeply rooted-ll
is part Of The nullfier's creed, and with
nearly all the leaders of that party the dis

SIX DAYS LATER FROM ENGLAND.

The proceedings of the Earl of Durham
in Canada have occupied much of the time
of the British parliament. His ordinance,
by which thirteen of the persons implicated
in the rebellion or in the attempts to invade
the provinces, were directed to be sent to
Bermuda, has been strongly assalled. The
objections urged against it are. that the
individuals in question had not previously
been tried and convicted by a jury. Lord
BRoucHAM has brought Bill into the
House of Lords declaring such measures
are not authorized by the powers confided
to the Earl of Durham, and for indemnify
ing those who have issued or acted under
it. 1t had passed to second reading, and
apparently with the consent of ministers.

PUBLISHED sEMI-MoNTHLY
BY the Jefferson College and Washington
Lyceum.

The extensive and growing interest d
the Southwest, its moral and social i'm
proycment, and its increasing literary and
scientific demands, have awakened atten
ton to the fact that in this highly impor
tant portion ofour country there is no Jour
nal or paper SO exclusively devoted to lit
eratvre and science, advocating the doc
trine of no party.
Feeling the necessity of such a paper
the Jefferson College and Washington LyI
ceum have commenced the publication o
periodical entitled"THE SOUTH-WES
| TERN JOURNAL" to be devoted to lit
erature and science, and all sub ects inter
csting to the general reader.
1t is published semi-monthly, in the city
of Natchcz, and contains sixteen small
quarto pages, similar in form TO the "Pen
ny Magazine" and is protected by good
envelope, so that it may be conveyed 10
any distance without injury.
1t will be remembered that we have NJ
work in the South West similar to this,
and every one who feels pride in any en-
terprse calculated to enhance the social
and moral character ofour country, should
come forward and assist in this worthy
enterprise.
Pecuniary emoluments constitutes no
part Of the object Of this publication. Il
is not intended to benefit any individual
or the Lyceum in pecuniary point Of
view. The sole object is to advance
knowledge and diffusc a taste for the
refined enjoyments of Literature and
Science.
Nothing is now wanting to the accom-
plishment of the wishes of the Lyceum but
the patronage of the community; and it il
expected that this patronage will be prompt
ly and cheerfully extended.

periodical should be addressed, post paid
