K. Polk, Of Tennessee, for the office Of

oyhood, the career Of James X. Polk has
been unsullied. At the University he was
noticed for his sobriety and diligence, OBJ
tanning the highest honors in his class. He
is ignorant OF every game of hazard; he
knows nothing Of cards; his hand-I speak
on the authority of men OF honor, who live
nearshim, who know him well, and would
not deceive me--his hand has never raised
against the life Of his fellow man. With
out taking the pie lge, and without prcten-
sion, he abstains from the use Of ardent
spirits, and illustrates by his example the
virtues Of strict temperance. In a word,

How II Is going in the south.


The nomination Of Col. Polk has sealed
the fate Of Mr.. Clay in most Of the South
ern States. Almost every mail received
brings intelligence Of the detection Of some
new prominent wing leader; and the mas
SEES, is certain. are falling of from the
support Of Mr.. Clay in more than proper
tionate numbers. In addition to the follow
ing, which is taken from late Savannah
Georgian, we see it announced in the Ala
barna papers that Hon. GABRIEL Moons,
formerly Governor and y. s. Senator from
that State, and the head and front Of the
wing party, has announced his determine
ton to support the democratic nominees;
and so Of many other distinguished and
prominent leaders Of whggery. The awir-
ing in and wiring out" Of Mr.. Clay upon
the subject Of the tariff, and his opposition
to the annexation Of Texas, is not 10 the
taste Of the people Of the South.

What wonder is it that we hear. day
after day, OF alterations from the whig
ranks in Georgia, and additions to the DEM

Intelligent and patriotic Representative;
Howell Cobb, of Houston, the distinguish
ed jurist, and Harrison elector in lS4O;
Marshall ] Welborn, the profound iurist.

who, though young in years, has made
himself known and admired throughout the
whole extent Of the State; r. w. Flour
noy Of Washington county, the intelligent
lawyer and influential man; and last but
not least, Julius G. Afford, the former whir
Representative in Congress, the strong and
eloquent supporter Of -Harrison in 1870,
and one Of the leading citizens Of Western
Georgia. When we say that he is the last.
we mean that he is the last whom we shall
mention, for numbers. throughout the State
are detaching themselves from the Wing
ranks, and taking their position in the Re-
publican.
1t is due to Col. Afford to state that for
sometime past he has taken no part in pol
tues. lie watched the course pursued by
his former party, in Georgia, saw their in
conslstcncies, marked their corruption, I'M
tl the high enthusiasm which made him So
prominent in the Harrison campaign, was
changed into thorough disgust. Disguised
with politics, after finding that deceit and
delusion had been played oifuponthe South
ern people, by the Federal party, he retir-
ed from public lie. and has since remained
a silent citizen. But the present crisis ap-
pears to have aroused him. Col. A.frod

Changes in PennsyIvania.

The changes in Pennsylvania against
Mr.. Clay is compared with the contest Il
1910, literally overwhelm the prospects 81
whiggery. The Harrisburg Union says
that there is scarcely county in the State
in which defcctions from the Clay party
may not be counted by the gross. When
1t is remembered that Gen. Harrison's ma
jority in the State was barely 343, it is
easily discovered that Mr.. Clay has no
chance Of carrying it whatever. There Il
not county in the State, in which this
trifling majority will not be swept away
BY the Polk tornado. No where, however,
are the changes more numerous than in Il 9
county Of Allegheny. Here the Harrison
majority in 1910 was over 3,00O-it will
no,c barely 9 coed 600! In proof II his,
the Pittsburg Post Of Friday names the
following distinguished citizens, who were
all active and loaai q Harrison men in 40,
but are now every one OF the bitter and
Incorporating opponents Of Mr.. CLAY.
They compile the very elite of the old
Wing and An,i-masonic parties in that
county:
]. Neville B. Craig ESQ.,, long known
as an able Anti-masonic editor, eltc ca
year before last to the State Legislature.
and recently the Anti-masonic candidate
Tor Congress.

Allegheny county, and an active Wing
stump speaker in 1910.
3. Alfred Sutton, Esq, late Prothonota-
ry Of Allegheny county, and man Of ex-
tensive political influence.
4. Major Hay, Mayor Of the city.
D. William h. Austin, ESQ.,, an especial
favorite with his party, and good speaker.
3. William Larimer, jr. another active
Harrisonite in the great campaign Of 1910.

Spirit Of Liberty, and late Post master Of

8. Russell Errett. Esq, formerly the
standing Secretary Of Federal County Con-
ventions.
10. John Hammer, Esq, formerly lead-
ing Harrison man, who spent as much time
and labor in the cause as any other wing
in the county.
II. DR.. William A. Penniman, former
Wing member Of the State Legislature.
II. Hon. William w. Irwin, elected BY
the Wings TO Congress in 1910 by one Of
the largest majorities ever given in th-t
county. as

risonite.
IA. Andrew Watson, Esq, leading Har-
risonite.
ID. Samuel w. Black, Esq, one Of the
most ready and reliable Wing stump speak-
ers in 1910.
All these gentlemen were leading and
active Harrison men in l84O--all are now
zealously opposing the election of Henry

others have declared for Polk and Dallas.

When the torrent Of fire precipitated
itself into the ocean the scene assumed a
character Of terrific and Undesirable
grandeur. The magnifcence of destruc-
ton was never more perceptibly displayed
than when these antagonistic elements met
in deadly strife. The mightiest of earth s
magazines Of fire poured forth its burning
pillows to meet the mightiest of oceans.
For two score miles it came, rolling. tum.
bling, swelling forward, an awful agent
Of death. Rocks melted like wax in its
path; forests cracked and blazed before its
fervent heat; the very hills were lifted
from their primeval beds and sank beneath
its tide, or were borne onward by its waves;
the works Of man were to it but as scroll
in the flames; nature shriveled and trem-
bled before the irresistible flow. Imagine
NiagaFa's stream, above the brink of the
rapids, lnadly raging and hurrying on tc
their Plunge, instantaneously converted in
to freya gory-hued river OF fused minerals;
the wrecks Of creative matter blazing and
disap caring beneath its surface; volumes
OF Kissing steam arising; smokes curling
upwards from ten thousand vents, which
gave utterance to as many deep-toncd
mutterings, and sullen, confined, and omi-
nous clamorings, as il the spirits Of fallen
demons were struggling against their final
doom; gases decorating and shrieking as
they burst from their hot prison-house;
the heaven lurid with flame; the atmos-
phcre dark, turgid and oppressive; the
horizon murky with vapours, and cleaning
with the reflected contest; while cave and
hollow, as the hot air swept along their
heated walls, threw back the unearthly
sounds in . myriad Of prolonged echoes.
Such was the scene, as the fiery cata-
ract, leaping precipice Of IF ' feet, poured
its Hood upon the ocean. The old line oI
coast, amass Of compact, indurated lava,
whitened, cracked, and fell. The waters
recoiled, and sent forth tempest Of spray,
they foamed and dashed around and over
the melted rock: they boiled with the heat,
and the roar Of the conflicting agencies
grew flfrcer and louder. The report Of
the exploding gases were distinctly heard

COFFEE ELS, rRIciry.-Although il is

that man may be literally and truely cleo
trified with newly ground coffee. The
manner of doing so was exhibited 10 the
writer Of this, says the correspondent q
the Scotsman, a few dass ago at shop in
New Town. A large coffee mill driven
by steam engine, was grinding coffee In
to huge barrel. In the barrel stood a
copper scoop, lrectly under the fall of
the fresh ground coffee. An ir.n rod be-
ing.held within an inch or SO Of the cop
per scoop, an instantaneous flash Of light
ming, or stream Of electric fluid, was At
tracted by the iron. The same result fob
lowed when the finger was employed -

BILE, by rude continuance, shock was
also communicated from the ground coffee
