An HONEST CoNFEssloN.-Once in while wing
of 1910 acknowledges the immortality of that CAM
paign. The heat of the contest in New Hampshire
has drawn out an old placard, inscribed ''Whg din
ner at Hooks, A. Mcfarland" Mr.. McF., who is
State printer to the " allied army" deacon of the
church, and editor Of the Concord Statesman admits
that he signed the tickets to the symposium, one
of the wing committee but pleads that it eight
years agO-a year when himself and many other men
of far more importance than he, were engaged for
the last time in transactions upon which they look
back with the deepest regret" This confession, tar
dy though it be, is highly honorable to Mr. McFar-
land, and places him on eminence proudly above
the Adamses, the We5sterS, the Wilson's, Berriens
Corwns, Reverdy Johnsons Sergeants, Claytons, and
hosts of other whig orators aud actors in the
sails of that campaign, who have not made any public
acknowledgment of guilt.-Boston Post
This symposium is a mysterious word, but there is
dirty trick at the bottom 1t was well to acknow-
ledge the corn.

IRELAND is thus described by Bishop Hughes in

IRELAND is thus described by Bishop Hughes in a
lecture recently delivered at New York
Ireland, you know, larger in its geograph-
ica extent, than two-thirds of the State of New
York. An island on the western borders of Europe,
its bold coast is ndened with capacous bays and sa-
estharbors. For its size ii has many large and nav
gabe rivers and it is said that no part of the island
is than fifty miles from tide-water. Its climate
is salubrious, although humid with the healthy vapors
of the Atlantic; its hills, ike its history,)
pied for the most part, with clouds its sunshine is
rare, but for that very reason, if for other,
far more smiling and beautiful than beamed from
italian skies. Its mountains and lofty;
its green valleys fertile as the plains of Egypt, en-
riched by the overhowings of the Nile. There is no
country the globe that yields larger average of
the substantial things which God has provided for the
support and sustenance Of human life and yet, there
it is that man has found himself for generations in
sqnalid misery, in tattered garments, often, at
present, haggard and emaciated with hunger his So
cial state contrast and eye-sore in the midst OF
the beauty aud riches of nature that smile upon him,
if in cruel mockery of his unfortunate and excep
tionable condition.

DANGER OF ISHALING ErHER.-A boy named Cool
idge had his badly crushed in Boston steam
bakery few days since, and it was amputated by
DIR. Lewis while the patient was under the influence
of ether. In few hours after he died. The ether
was properly administered by DR.. Hayward, Surgeon
of the Massachusetts Hospital who, with Drs. Jack
son, Cabot and others, present at the operation.
1t seems from the report that in the opinion of DR..
Lewis, 'the inhalation of the ether was the imaedi-
ate Of the boys DEATH. Several cases of this
kim have been recently recorded, proving that this
wonderfully affecting agent is to be administered with
the greatest caution.

Santa Anna VS.. the wings.

The wings of this country are and have been most
industrious in charging that the movement of the
army to the Rio Grande was an iuuasion of Mexican
territory, and such brought on the war; and that
Mexico is fighting to preserve this piece of disputed
territory. On the other hand, SANTA ANNA, in his
boviang account Of the battle of Buena VISTA holds
the following language:
From the impression we made on the enemy, he
did not appear before US for three days The bearer
of fla of truce however, arrived with proposition
from General Taylor for an exchange of prisoners,
and for sending for the wounded who had re-
NAMED on the field. He also expressed to me the
desire which the Americans felt for the re-estabsh-
mcnt of peace. replied, in order that he might say
the same to his General that we sustained the most
sacred Of eauses-the defence of territory, and
tie preservation Of our nationality and rights-that
were not the aggressors and that our government
bad never offended that of the United States. /
observed that could say nothing of peace trhe the
Americans reIe this side Of the BrdrO or occupied
any part of the Mexican territory or blockaded our
ports and that were resolved to perish or yindi-
cate rights; that fortune might not be always
favorable to the enemy, and their experience Of the
22nd and 23d should convince them that ii could
change"
The term Braro," as here used, the reader is
probably aware, signifies the river Bravo del Norte,
or Rio Grande. So that SANTA. ANNA in requiring
the American troops to be withdrawn from Mertcan
territory, before propositions of peace will be
tanned, demands that they shall retire from . th5S
(the Mexican) side " of that river He does not
claim the disputed erritory-nor impose the requisi-
ton that they shall the Nueces in order
get out of Mexican territory" There is remark
able discrepancy here between the position of the
Mexican President, and that of his faithful allies in
this country and suggest that the first act Of the
proposed Convention should be TO despatch Senator
CoRwIN as Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Pleni-
potentlary, from the Wing party of the United
States, to His Exceency, to advise him that he is
compromising not only his own and the interests OF
Mexico but those of the wing party in this country
That he is ignorant of Mexican rights and boundaries
and profoundly stupid as tn the causes of the war
and that if he would preserve the friendship and
sisency of his political allies in the United States
he must take care, the next time he fogs General
TAYLOR, to warn him clear out of the country, and
especially specify the Nueces the boundary, and
the invasion Of the disputed territory the Of
the contact We have no doubt the mission would
be d-Cincinnati Enquirer.

PRoPnEcY.-The Marquis de Ia Maison Forte, a
prisoner to the English in Boston, after the capture Of
Cape Breton, writing to France in 1850, remarks
that in the space of single century, the people of
New England will be as numerous as those of Old
England and in condition to give the law to all ma
nations OF America.

A SUBSTITUTE FOR Glass IN Hor-HoUsEs.-The
Bay State Farmer says IAN invention has just been
patented that is destined, think, to supercede
tirely the of glass in the construction only of
hot-beds but hot-houses The substitute consists of
chemical transparent waterproof composition. for
rendering muslin, calico linen for the frames of
greenhouses, &c. impervious to rain moisture,
admitting light equal to glass, much warmer, and the
plants burn under 1t. 1t is proof against hail
storms, SO frequently destructive to glass.

A MANUFACTURERS EvIDENcE.-Philip T. Ripley,
Esq, of Hartford Conn., has a capital invested in
manufacturing at Windsor Locks, of 100000. He
is Dhig, but a fair-minded, intelligent gentleman
We learn from the HIrtford Times. that at the recent
Canal meeting in Winds r, he gave his views plainly
in reference to the tariff The object of the meeting
to increase the facilities of manufacturing, and
he told the people that they could 60 and secure
the great object without fear Of injury from the tariff
that the present tariff roud not iure the business,
and the cry about injury from the tariff, not

The New York Courier and Enquirer has hoisted
the name Of Gen. Taylor for the Presidency. But a
few weeks since that paper said:
1--WE did not inform our readers that Mr.. Corwin
is TO be the candidate of the radical Wings, the Abo-
litoniss, the Anti-Renters and Fourertes, for the
next Presidency, nor did inform them that this
movement to put up Mr.. Corwin for the Presidency,
has its origin in deadly hostility to the conservatism
Of Daniel Webster, Judge Mclean, and Gen. Winfield
Scott, one of whom il is admitted on all hands,
will. most unquestionaby be the Wing candidate for
the next Presidency. All these facts we abstained
from abiding to, and spoke kindly of Mr.. Corwin,

A CHALLENGE 1--WE challenge the production Of
a single particle of evidence going to show, that any
diplomatist any nation any man, even Texas herself
assumed the position that she extended to the
Rio Grande, prerious TO the capture Of Santa Anna,
in 1885, and the treaty made by him with the govern
ment of Texas, inwhich it stipulated that the
Rio Grande should be the boundary between the two
countres.-Nashuille Wig.
The CHALLENGE AccEPTED.--We accept the chal-
lenge, and quote the following from Mr. CIays letter.
The United States acquired title to TEXAS,
extending. as believe, to the Rio del Norte, Rio
Grande, by the treaty of Louisiana They ceded
and rcnquished that title Spain by the treaty Of
