The VVilmOt PrOvisO a Md the Wlni:.
Party Of the North.

Mr. Giddngs charges Gen. Taylor will
using his influence in favor of the Cali
tornia bill. SO amended as to allow SLAYER,
TO be es ablished in that territory, and the
Wing papers generally deny the charge
If the charge be true, while it reflects nc
credit upon the President, affords the bes
evidence of the integrity and anti slavery
spirit of the Northern Wing party He
is charged with using his oGicial influence
against the prohibition of slavery in Cali
fornia And yet the vote in the House
showed that nearly every Northern Wing
remained true, and by Northern Wing
votes mainly the pro-slavery amendment
Of Northern Locofoc was defeated.
Let us contrast the Wings of the North
with their opponents anti-slavery meas
ures. When James X. Polk and the Bal.
tmore Convention of 1914 declared in
favor of Texas annexaton-a scheme
calculated to extend the curse of human
slavery-every Locofoco in the land
shouted for Polk and Texas, although
sea- cely voice had ever previously been
heard in the North in its favor. and the
general public sentiment had been avowed
In opposition to t. The Locofoco party
OF the North once pretended to favor the
Wllmot Proviso, but when Gen. Cass de-
clared 1t unconstitutional, nearly every
man of his party from New England to
the Rocky Mountains, sounded the pass
word Of the par,y's candidate along the
lines, and in thunder tones made the welkin
ring with shout, "1he IVilmot Proriso is
unconstitutional" Such is the proven.
undeniable subserviency Of that party to
the behests Of its leaders. On the other
hand, it is alleged by every Locofoco in
the North, that Gen TAYLOR used his official
influence again the Wilmot Proviso, and
personally approached Northern Wing
members Of Congress on the subject, and
yet, so firmly and indelbly were the prin-
C Piles of freedom implanted in their hearts.
that even the President, with all his power
and patronage, was not able 70 induce
them to desert the standard of Liberty.
What contrast have we here between
the hrmness, the devotion to free princi-
pies. of the Wing Representatives of the
North and those Of their opponents-the
one standing against all the power, per-
sonal and official of the highest function
airy IN the land, scorning the idea Of yield
ing even to man who held in his hands
the bestowal ofpower and of place. where
by wealth and distinction might be ac-
quired-the other always the panderers to
Executive dictation, and Welding a ready
submission to the behests of party. If
the charge against Gen. Taylor be true,
every tue Northern Wing has renewed
reason to be proud Of the body Of North
ern men with whom he is associated.

An Iron Light House.

An Iron Light House is now in pro.
gress of construction at Philadelphia, to
be placed on Craysfort Reef. on the Flor.
ida coast. 1t is designed to supersede
the present floating light, and will be a
permanent structure in the open sea
built upon a rock which is always eight
or ten feet under water. The plan Of the
house and the contemplated manner OF
its erection. are thus described in a let
ter from the editor of the New Orleans
Bulletin:
There are eight large round cast iron
uprlghts or shafts. which are to be let into
the rock to the depth Of six or eight feet;
the rock to be perforated under water for
the purpose. These shafts, when thus
inserted, at equal distances, will embrace
circle or area of from sixty TO seventy
feet in diameter. with an inclination in
ward. SO that at their upper end, at a dis
lance probably Of thirty feet above the
water; the circle is contracted to forty
feet. Another shaft. of very large dimen-
sions,is erected perpendicularly in the
centre, and TO render the whole solid and
hrm. they are all connected with each
other and each Of the outer ones with the
centre shaft, by horizontal round cast iron
shafts. about six inches in diameter. Sc
cured to the uprights in the most SUBJ
stantlal manner. by sockets and screw
bolts. One set Of these horizontal shafts
is put on a level with the water, another
at the top Of the upright shafts, connect.
ing from each Of the outside ones to the
others, and from each Of the latter to the
main centre shafts.
From the top Of these uprights COM
mences the first or lower story Of the lish,
house, which is to be what they call the
keepers cellar, in which all his stores,
provisions, water tanks, oil, and supplies
OF every kind, are to be kept. Mex,

the lantern and light. Of course, above
all. The accommodations will be on a
scale sufficient for small family, and will
be complete and comfortable, though OIL
course there will no, be much ward room
connected with the premises.
The whole exterior surface Of these diff
terent tiers Of apartments, is to be formed
OF boiler iron, but it must Of course be
covered with at least two inch plank, or the

WAKE SNAKEs!-West Feliciana, Lou.

in, if we can Judge from the following
paragraph, which we take from the S..
Francisville Chronicle:
"For about a week past. some few of
our citizens have enjoyed themselves in
shooting snakes, in the back water near
our town. They seem to seek refuge in
the trees, where, it is supposed, they re-
sort to bask in the sun. They have sue
ceeded in destroying upward Of one thou.
sand, and they still exist in abundance.
They have been known to take lodging in
some of the houses in BAYOU Sara. when
the occupants of the dwellings are oc-
casionally greatly frightened by discover
ing them snugly ensconced in the beds
prepared for their own comfort and con
venience. We have not yet participated
in the sport, but have been informed tina,
it is rare fun.

LOOKING UP.-It is said that Mr.. Ram
say who has recently been appointed
Governor of the Territory of Minnesota,
was, but a few years since, journeyman
carpenter. By perscvering and untirng
industry he struggled through the study Of
the law. He rapidly rose by his own cf-
forts IN public estimation. First he was
elected to the Legislature and then to Con-
gress, and now he is the Governor of a
Territory. This is an melting example
tor the young men Of the country.
1t is generally indispensable, however.
to turn lawyer first, because a man of
any other vocation. no matter how learned
or talented he may be, has but little chance
for promotion Of any kind.-State Sen.

"A cure for Cholera"

| The play bills Of Saturday appeared
with the above caption, and the details
announced that DAN MARBLE would posi-
lively appear that night in one of his ia
vorite characters. 1t was little suspected
when this announcement was ordered,
that at the very time appointed for the play
ing. the star of attraction would have the
lnsldlous monster working on him to such
an extent that he could not perform. And
IT was little thought that in less than twenty
| hours afterward, Dan Marble would be in
the collapsed stage Of cholera Yet such
was the fact-at half past II yesterday.
Mr. Marble was so far collapsed that there
was no hope entertained of his recovery.
Mr.. Marble arrived here on Friday from
st. Louis. He called on us about noon
Saturday. and in half hours familiar
chat, he informed us that he had been in
the enjoyment of excellent health until
about 2 O'Clock on Friday afternoon.
when he was suddenly attacked with
diarrhea He promptly used some simple
remedies. but did not experience much
relief until after the arrival of the boat at
Louisville at O'Clock tina, evening, when
he took rooms at the Louisville hotel. and
called in physician. He was soon bet
ter. and although still weak when we saw
him on Saturday. he thought he was out
of danger. We urged upon him the i'm
Propriety Of exposing himself by being
out on such damp and disagreeable day,
and when he informed US of his intention
to play at the theatre that night. we Ell
deavored to persuade him from it, and
urged upon him the necessity Of remain
ing quiet But the ardor Of his nature
would not allow him to be still; and dur
ing the day and evening he needlessly ex-
posed himself, again brought on the
diarrhRa, which soon placed him beyond
the reach of remedies.-[ Louisville Cour.

and so stubborn its resistance to medical
treatment, that 1t was thought best TO send
the patient to the Hospital. Accordingly,
