SOUND AND PATRIOTIC SENTIMENT.

Upon the occasion of political meeting at Ra-
leigh, the seat Of government of the State of North
Carolina, Mr.. Senator BADGER, who is resident of
that beautiful little city, called out by his fellow
citizens, and delivered speech of great interest and
power on the great National issues involved in the
pending Presidential election. In the course Of his
speech lie paid glowing and feeling tribute to the
integrity, ability, and worth of Gen. ZACHARY
TAYLOR. He deemed the true pivot upon which
the ensuing election ought to and must turn to be
the question Of the unlimited exercise of the Veto
power. II, he said, you would have the Legisla-
live departments Of the country mere chambers for
registering the edics ofo corrupt Executive, vote
for the advocate Of such a theory, Lewis Cass

by eloquent, earnest, and stirring appeal 70 his
Wing brethren to organize and work-to manifest
their attachment their noble standard-bearer the

which they the People Of North Carolina de-
clared their affection for HARRY Of the West.

sets, and a number Of his constituents. letter
signed by some six or seven hundred citizens OF
the Tenth District was addressed to Mr.. GRIsNELL,
soliciting an expression Of his willingness again

honorably fills. To this letter Mr.. GRrNNELL made
reply, in which, considering the letter as evi-
dence that he has to some extent satisfied the rea-
sonabe expectations Of his constituents while rep
resenting their important interests at Washington,

disposal of the Wings Of the district He takes the
opportunity TO assure his constituents Of his con-
6rmed conviction of the excellence and Justice
Of those principles which the Wings of the Union
have been struggling TO establish in the adminisra-
ton of the Government, and to promise his best ef-
forts in sustaining them hereafter.

tinued public labors Of Mr.. GRISNELL. The whole

The preference for Gen. TAYLOR by these De-
mocratc gentlemen, who are men Of known per-
soaal WORTH as candidate for the Presidency is
placed as the reader will perceive upon the ground
of their confidence in his honesty and independence
Of purpose. What could Gen TAYLOR do less
Than acknowledge the compliment! And, in doing
50, what more could be desired Of him than that he
should caution these respectable gentlemen against
the error Of supposing that, in accepting the offer
Of their confidence, he does SO under any pledges
or conditjonS?
The ground Of the excitement among the Wings
at Albany was, it seems, that they were aware
and we dare say many Of our readers were not
that the Charleston meeting, from which the above
letter proceeded had expressed their preference for
Democratic citizen as a candidate for the ice
Presidency and, in accepting their votes for him
self, the General supposed to have accepted
also their candidate, instead Of his own for the Vice
Presidency. Every one who is beyond the reach
Of the excitement at Albany will see how unres-
sonable this is since no such fact is alluded 10 in

WE'TrING BRICKS.

Few people, except builders, are a
ware of the advantage Of wetting bricks
before laying them. A wall IL inches
thick, built up of good mortar, with
bricks well soaked, is stronger in every
respect, than one 6 inches thick, built
dry. The reason Of this is, that if the
bricks are saturated with water, they will
not abstract from the mortar the moist
ure which is necessary TO its crystaliza-
ton, and on the contrary, they will unite
chemically with the mortar and become
as solid as a rock On the other hand
If the bricks are put up dry, they imme
diately toke all the moisture from the
mortar, leave it too dry TO harden, aud
the consequence is, that when build
ing of this description is taken down OF
tumbles down of its own accord, the
mortar falls from it like so much sand.

THE FIRST BLOW.

George III. was very punctual, and
expected punctuaity from every one.
Lord Kate was the most punctual per-
son who attended upon his Majesty; he
was never second behind time. One
day he had an appointment with the
king at twelve o'clock, but as he passed
through the hall the clock struck twelve,
on which his lordship, in passion,
raised his stick, and broke the glass OF
the clock. The king reminded him that
he was little behind his time, which he
excused the best way he could. AT the
next audience the king exclaimed, as he
entered,
"Why, Kate, Kate, how came you to
strike the clock -
"The clock struck first" coolly replied
his lordship.
The king laughed heartily at Tic gray
ity with which Kate excused himself,
which added zest to the bon moi.

HORN DISTEMPER.

A correspondent of one of our agri-
cultural exchanges, while he admits that
spirits of turpentine is valuable appli-
cation in the treatment Of this disease,
asserts that the use of hot birthstone is
still better. His method is to put one
teaspoonlul into the cavity just between
the horns. A friend at our elbow re-
marks that he has applied both, but pre-
fers the turpentine in one or Two in
stances he used birthstone, but found no
beneficial results attend its application.
AS to the efficacy of turpentine, we can
speak from experience, having applied
it in several cases with complete success,
and, indeed, after most other remedies
had failed. The "Horn Alp is a bad
disease, and if not attended to and coun-
teracted in its normal stages will gener-
all prove fatal in its results. W.
