Several years since we noticed the inven-
ton of a new and ingenious fish hook, inven.
ted by Mr.. VIM. Cuyce, Clock and Watch
maker, of this place. THIS same invention
has since been used very extensively at the
North and East, and other men, we have rea-
son to believe, have made money of this in
genious invention of our townsman. Mr..
Cayce has since invented an entirely different
hook, and one decidedly more convenient, as
we'll as more efficient in grabbing and hold
ing fast the fish that may chance to come with
in its reach. The new hook does not fly back
with a spring, nor require re-setting after
catching a fish, but like cold souse" is al
ways ready. The simple nibble of the " gone
sucker" be he cat, trout, parCh, buffrfo or
what not, is sufficient to draw down directly
underneath his gills, two or more other hooks
which efectually clamp him, and hold him
beyond hope until he can be conveniently taken
off and laid safely away for the frying pan =.
The hook always sets itself, without any
trouble to the fisherman, and is decidedly a
veIy handsome specimen of Williamson couh-
ty, Tennessee, ingenuity.
We hope for the ingenious inventor, better
luck than the first one yielded him, and caution
all "hooksn human aud otherwise, to be care
full how they use this, lest they be caught be-
yond hope. The instrument may be seen at
Mr.. Cayce's at the Sulphur Springs, nine
miles from Franklin .-Ffanklin ReoieV.

Mitchell, the celebrated Irish leader and edi

arising out Of these government trials, is i'm

In France things wore a bad aspect. In
Paris political affairs are comparatively tran.

the mastery. They fail totally to harmonize,
Owing to internal dissentions, Lamartine and
Ledru ROllin, it is thought, will resign; Marast
and Arago will succeed; their party is very

The Democratic c NOmineo.s

The following significant commentary 81

berIof the Franco .American," Of New OFlI

o%cratic in politics, and the recognized eE@s'
of the French population of eur sister 6iste:
"The democrats had, no doubt, what thaY
considered good reasons for selecting Gsnos1i
Cuss as their candidate for the Presidency.-
We confess that, so far as zoe arc OonosTnsEs
we would have preferred any other mag vhoss

There are IN the course Of a man's life csf.

B~arn61rners' Meeting at SNeg York.-The
great meeting Of the baruburner section Of the
democratic party at New York came off on the
9th inst, in the Park. A Geographic despatch
to the Philadelphia Ledger says:
The meeting of the barnburners in the Park
this evening was large and enthusiastic Mark
Spencer presided, assisted by about five Vice
Presidents and fifteen or twenty Secretaries /.
q G. Cambreleng read a protest against the
action OF the Baltimore Convention, and said
the hunkers were seceders from the party, and
that the barnburners were the true democracy.
He was followed by John Van Buren,, who
said the barnburners would not, under any cir
cumstances, vote forany nominee Of the wings:
that he desired TO preserve the democratic par
ty intact.
b. +. Butlersaid that he did not recognize
the nomination of Gen. Cass; ii was not bind.
ing on the democracy; and he would be gov
erned by the Convention to assemble on the
22d OF June. That Convention would exam
inc the claims of Gen. Cass, and if he was
found to be sound on the subject Of the extern
sion of slavery to free territory, that body
might nominate him. He concluded by say.
ing that if such a Convention as the one as
eembled in Baltimore had nominated Van
Buren,, Dix or Slade, or even a Thomas Jeffer-
son, he would not support it.
Mr.. Butler was followed by Mr.. Nye, and
after the adoption Of the resolutions, the meet
ing adjourned in high spirits.
Before the adjournment, it was agreed to
hold a Convention in Utica on the 22d inst.
John Van Buren, denied that his father wished
the nomination for President. The number
in attendance was estimated at five thousand.

.4n Illustration, Hon, George Rathbun, a
leading Barnburner Of New York, having re-
Gently denounced Gen. Cass as utterly I'M
worthy of support, Gen. G.. published a part
of a letter written to him in December, 1916,
by Mr.. R. which expressed the highest esteem
and regard. Mr.. Rathbun explains that when
the said letter was written, Gen. Cass was
openly in favor of certain political doctrines
which he has since repudiated. Nh. R. illus
trates as follows;
"Benedict Arnold was at one time a brave
soldier; he was believed to be a true patriot.
He rose to the rank Of General in the army Of
the Colonies; fought bravely in the defence Of
the rights Of the American people-was es-
teemed worthy and honest, The American
people became attached to him, praised him,
hattered him, yet when he went on board the
Vulture, and deserted to the British Army and
accepted Office under the British Crown, he
was detested by every honest man Of all par
ties. So far, as | know, he never published
parts of letters written to him before his de.
]sertion to prove the Inconsistency of his friends
while he appeared an honest man, because
they condemned him when he had demonstra-
ted that he was no longer honest or worthy Of
confidence"

".Money Makes The Mere Go."-There' is q
singular law suit pending in Neshoba, Mise.
for the ownership Of a mare. 1t appears that
two persons lost a mare each about the same
time. Some time afterwards one mare was
found, which both parties claimed, both
being willing to sustain each Of their claims
BY their oaths. In addition to this, each party
can bring forward at least thirty witnesses to
prove their respective ownerships. Costs to
the amount of $l,5OO have already accrued, SO
that this case r%everses, the old saying, at the
head Of this article, for the mare makes the
money go.
The Mississippi Creole. [volume] (Canton, Miss.) 1841-1851, 1848-06-23

The Albany Atlas, the N. Y. Globe and the
Troy Budget, organs of the Barnburners do NOT
recognise the action Of the " muhlatedC onVen.
tom as binding or obligatory on the party, and
declare they will proceed to act as though no
nomination at all had been made! They say
the Convention 'has broken up the Democratic
party,n and that New York will proceed to
maxi her own nomination. -Soutbron.
