LOG C. A BI N S.

From the beginning of the world, men have
always eurr'e', on chair pnliiica religious and
martial conflicts under certain embiems. The
ancient Romans took the Eagle for the emblem:
the Mahometans took the Crescent; the Scotch
took the Thistle and the cross Of ST Andrew;
the old Jackson party In this country took the
Hickory pole, the hickory broom, and the hog;
and the Wing purity has the Log Cabin. The
nte worshipers of the hog and the hickory pole
denounce the Log Cabin as poor and unuean-
ing sign. 1t was not one to he of our par
tvs choosing; it was forced upon them, we adj
nit, lay the insulting jeors of their enemies, az
at the honest and honorable poverty OF an old
gray hared soldier; yet we regard It as the most
strongly and beautifully significant emblem ever
adopted Ivy any party or people,.
We like the annexed remark oe the Buffalo
Senine:
"WHIa ARGUMENT. The grumbIing Locolo
cos point TO the log cabin, and cry, There is
u Wing argument They right. 1t is the
best argument in the world. This country new
er saw another such. The hickory poles of An.
drew Jackson We're nothing to them. The fire
cross symbol Of Scotland compared not with it
in significance.
"When the Pilgrim fathers of New England
landed at Plymouth in the holy name of Liher'
ty they ercted Log Cabins. To the same cause
we erect them now, and nfuse the same spirit
by which they were animated. When the gal
liant settlers of Virginia landed ut jamestown,
they erected log cabins, and have been the cho'
sen home of liberty and republican principles,
aud the ha citations Of the pioneers Of the pro
gressive West. .a. ls- .a.
''This is log cabin nation. Here liberty was
Graded in log cabins. Cl'ivalry grew up in
them. Why should it not, when each log cabin
has been fortress, and each chink between the
logs loop hole for the settlers rifle? There
never wns an argument so powerful, rea'
sonable, just. This country has bean

PERSIAN MODE OF EXECUTING MURDERERs.
The following remarkable and horrible nc.
count Of the manner in which it is proposed TO
punish murderers in Persia is given in letter
from NJ. Charles Texter, corresponding member
of the institute, written from: Ispahnd. He there
IN says:-"The governor is without mercy to-
wards the Lontyes, a name given to a fantasti
cal sect of the lower orders and whenever q
murder is committed, he causes The, assassins to
be arrested aud keeps ihem in dungeon till he
has collected a sufficient number of victims to
make a striking example. You would not real
ly divine his proIect---wi,h these men he intends
to build tower! He has alrendy about hum
bred prisoners, and when he shall have got about
200 or 300, then grooming tower is to be com
menced. A layer of stones is to be arranged al.
ternately with layer OF living men. A tower
of this description is to be seen ut the gate OF
Shiraz. The one in question is likely 10 be
soon commenced, for we saw yesterday the cam
els arrive, ntien with the lime destined for it's
construction" 7rf.7
