A FALSE STATEMENT.

There is excellent trait in the nominees
OF the Democratic party, Messrs. CHERRY and
McCLOUD, that the breath of political scandal
has not yet been vented upon them. We have
heard oil only one attempt at misrepresentation,
and that fell still-born into the hands of our
opponents yesterday. 1t was started by Mr..
Happier, who sent down a certificate that Mr..
McCloud was opposed to the Free School The
gentleman to whom this certificate was entrusted.
questioned Mr.. McCloud in relation to it. and
FINDING 1T FALSE. and that Mr. Happier had
been imposed upon, refused, much TO his credit,
TO nave any thing to do with it. We are au-
thorized by Mr.. McCloud, himself, to state, that
he is In favor of a liberal enlightened, and eff
Client public school system, and will do all he can
to perfect the present system-but that he does
not approve of the manner in which it is con-
Quoted, as it is not what was expected or to be
desired by the public. So falls that Roorback.
10 the Polls, then, and vote for TATEM.
CHERRY and McCLOUD. Mr.. McCloud
says, the Democracy have nothing TO fear from
educating The masses-our party can only expect
to be triumphant while the people are educated
and enlightened, and he, therefore, goes for the
best and cheapest, for the best is always the
CHEAPEST mode, of educating the masses!

PLUMBE'S DAGUERREoTYpEs.

we have to return our thanks to Professor
PLUMBE, of Washington, for most excellent
perfect, most perfect type of our son, taken at his
Daguerrean Gallery in that city. We always
take great delight in visiting his Rooms, when in
Washington, which is one of the most agreeable
places of resort in that city, while the urbanity
and pollteness of the Professor makes eyerv one
at home who visits him. There the yisiter
Immediately becomes surrounded with all the
great and distinguished men in the nation-there
he can study the face and feature of every man
who 10 known TO fame, who has excited his opno-
sition, or warmed his patriotism The walls are
hung with innumerable portraits and Photographs.
and they are continually on the increase. To
Professor Pumbe the science of PHOTOGRAPHY is
deeply indebted, for he spares no expense 10 de-
yelope all its powers, no labor and researches to
bring out all its beauties. There wants but two
things 10 give reality to the Photographs of
Plumbe, that is substance and breath. The
shadoW is almost REALITY, and one can fancy
that the mouth SO finely displayed is about to
part the lips, and speak. We have seen but one
who equals Plumbe, and that is our own WHITE
HURST, who, by -the-by, is now in Norfolk, where
he will remain for few days, to wait upon those
who may desire perfect shadoto of themselves.
His time is divided between Norfolk and Rich
mond.

/" MARRYING A MECHANIC. :"

We call the attention of our fair young read
ers to the beautiful tale we publish to day on our
first page 1t conveys a most excellent moral
and enc that parents should all study and ncul
cate upon their daughters. 1t is owing 10 the
wIfe's ignorance of household affairs, that so
much crime. misery and unhappness is in the
world Educate your daughters them for all the
duties of life. and not trust them to the varying
chances of a cold world--but make them "hep
meet for man." and then they will be prepared to
meet with judgment whatever fate may may be
theirs.

PREACHING TO THE ARMY.

The New York Tribune has the following re-
marks on this subject. We wonder if our ion,
Legislators, those who have disgraced the senate
chamber, by their indecent and disgusting brawls
believe that the very pious patriots who fill the
ranks Of our army, would, if they were Catholics
fight well, after being preached to by Presby-
terian or Methodist, OF Uice versa.

statement that Ger. Taylor had compelled Cath
olic soldiers IN his camp at Corpus Christie to at,
tend Presbyterian worship is fabrication, based
on a very slender foundation of fact No CON.

anti Catholic sermon at Corpus Christi was not

And now will the public consider the remarks

INCENDIARISM.

Whether from a mere wanton spirit of mis-
chief, or to promote the chances of plunder, we
cannot say, but the fact is staring us in the face
that the hand of the incendary is busy in our two
towns On Sunday night two attempts were
made in Portsmouth to fire dwellings in different
parts of the town, and one to fire the premises of
Capt. Drummond, in Norfolk. each of which
were discovered in time to prevent serious disas-
tiers. Last evening the Old Carriage house of
MIR. Nelson, was destroyed by fire, on Union
street. We have not heard how this fire origi-
mated. 1t is time that our citizens were on the
alert, to discover the walking pestilence in our
midst, and if caught 10 make terrible ample

VICTORYI
CONNECTICUT SAFEl

The " Hartford Times " of Wednesday evening
gives US complete returns of the second elections
in Connecticut. 1t states that there were ri
towns, entitled to "A representatives, that failed
OF choice in Connecticut, on the first MONDAY of
April. The democrats were 20 ahead of the
wings, and most of the no choice towns had a
wing plurality on the first day. By law a pIu-
raIity elects at the second trial, which must take
place on the Monday following the first. The
result OF Inc second trials, of course settled the
complexion Of the State. We subioin the com
plete returns. They give tho democrats 6 ma
jority in the House, and they have in the SEN
ato-making7 on joint ballot, by which the State
ticket must be elected The democratic triumph
Is complete. Here are the figures:

THE OREGON QUESTION.

We have given in another column the CONVEX
sation which took place in the House of Lords
relative to the state of our relations with Ameri
ca, between the Earl of Clarendon and the Earl
of Aberdeen, on Tuesday evening last The
speech of the Foreign Secretary, it will be seen
was conciliatory but determined He expressed
the strongest desire for peace, coupling il with
the assurance that it could yet be preserved, and
intimating that nothing would be left undone to
preserve it, consistent with the honor of the conn
try
But he gave no information as to the state Of
the negotiations he refused to produce all the pa
pers asked for, and only consented to submit
portion of them to the house, alleging as reason.
that the public interest would suffer by the in
spee;tion OF the whole. Nothing can be inferred
from the tone of this conversation as TO the turn
which matters are likely to take on this moo,ed
subject.
1t would be folly, however, to regard the bland
and polite language of the British Minister as ex
pressing the feeling of the British nation. We
Iret TO state that anger and irritation have late
ly been called into existence by the news from
America; and every day is calling into existence
amongst us a war party as fierce and unreasonable
as the most furious loco foco in the Union can de-
sire. This feeling finds expression in many of
the journals, and exists in private society to a
greater extent than in the columns of the daily
press.
We are panied to notice this alienation, but it
gathers strength with every fresh arrival from
America. The bulk of tho morning papers of
yesterday take Lord Aberdeen severely TO task
for rincing matters respecting a question on
which the public feeling Of tho country is so
strong.
We have as We! no certain intelligence that the
Senate has adopted the resolutions Of Mr. Couuitt.

Messrs. Calhoun and Webster, it is assumed thew

fall exclusively upon the President.
The general belief in this country is, that when
the question has been left in Mr.. Folks hands. a
message from the Queen will afford Ministers an
opportunity of declaring their 1iIiinlatarn in Par
