come to our notice, and changes too from Cooncry to

wings here in town. They are flying round. buzzing.

"A Efasp H4ics',

fuss over a paragraph copied by the Ohio Statesman.
from some other paper, stating, that "a late number
of the Indiana State Sentinel contained a list Of about
1870 namrs, including seine Of the most talented and
influential men of that State. rcnouncing all further
allegiance to the rotten cause Of Whiggcry." The
Journal pronoun,cs this t. be an 'unmitigatcd lie

DAGUERREOTYpE PORTRAITS.

II will be seen by reference to advertising
columns that Messrs. BRYANT & SAGE are now in
this place engaged in taking miniature portraits by
the Daguerreotype process. Those who have only
the ikenesses taken by this process after
its discovery, can have no just conception Of the
singular accuracy and beauty of picture produced
in few moments in he present improved state OF
the art. The portraits perfectly true to nature,
and recommend themselves by the facts that they
require but few moments of the time of the sitter,
and are furnished in handsome cases at a Price
greatly below the cheapest and most inferior daubs
in oil and water eolors. Specimens of their art
can be seen at their room adjoining the United
States Hotel and do not hesitate to say that no
ono fail to recognise instant sight, the face
of any picture whose original is familiar TO bim.-
We cheerfuy recommend these gentlemen TO any
of our friends who may desire, at a t.iling cost,
faithful likeness of themselves their friends.

THE WING NOMINATION AND

The Colon 1ltian Scheme has always been ia
vorte measure with the South, and the great an
tagonist of that wild and damnable fanaticism,
Abolition, which has so much disturbed the peace
and quiet of the country for number Of yea past
Genl James Hamilton, of S. c.. in his celebra-
ted letter written the Georgia Clay Clob, during
Mr. Clay's recent tour through the South, express
ed the opinion that Mr. Clay was the only man
who could place upon proper grounds, and .e,rle
permanently this egteting and dangerous question
Mr.. Clay has ever stood between the fanaticsm of
the North and the over excitement of the South,
ana all wise and ool.headed persons, both in the
North and South have regretted that his advice
was not long since taken and adopted by Congress
The South will at pecceive how much Of its
happiness, peace, and quiet is involved in the cleo
ton of Messrs Clay and Frelinghuysen to the of.
fees of President and Vice President of the United
States. Verify, wisdom, prudence, and devoted
patriotism presided over and swsyed the councils
of the Wing National Convention.

which the Globe once possessed during the reign
of Jackson is gone--some of g the party" dare
now TO throw defiance in Mr.. Blaif's face, and
hold the rod over him.
Mr.. Kennedy, NJ. c. from Indiana thus con-
cludes letter addressed Mr.. Blair Of the Globe
"Now sir, 10 conc lusion, If you feel disposed to
denounce all who are engaged in his movement,
you are welcome to launch your thcnders at my
head as soon as you choose"
Mr.. Cross. of Arkansas, in a letter also address
ed to Blair, says:
al shall under no circumstances cast my vote
in favor of Candidate for the Presidency pho is
opposed TO The immediate annexation of Texas to
The United StateS.'
The Southern Democrats in Congress generally
take grounds with Mr.. Cross. What think you,
gentle reader, General Richie, of the Entssirer,
is one of the leaders of the malcontents, and for
which his old friend Dromgooe ashes him and the
Democratic Central Committee, at Richmond, in a
manner that must al least make their fash creep.
