NOTES OF AGONY AND DISTRESS.

In speech made al great Wing gathering
leans, week since, MIR. ksnuer, the candidate
for Lieut. Governor is reported to have said:
A friend Of his had been speaking, few days
ago, 10 General Taylor, at Washington, In the
course OF conversation the General asked him
'i the political prospects of Louisiana were auy
way cheering Z" "Cannul be more So" replied
bis friend. The old mans eyes frightened, his
lace became illuminated, as il were, as he ex
claimed, ooh glorious Oh, gallant Louisiana
You were the first 10 0y TO my succor on the Rio
GIaade. You, too, will be the last to desert me ,,
The election took place on Monday and We
shall soon know whether Louisiana, too, has no,
"de>erted" the General. 1, would be strange, in
deed. should she by her vote sustain Regency
whose froniispece is Ewing and Collamer, I'm
qualified free-soilers, who assalled The honor oil the
country in the Mexican war, and virtually de-
nounced as guilty Of national crime these gal,
liant Louisianians who "were the first 10 fly TO
my (Gen. T.'s) succor on the Rio Grande."-
Should Louisiana now "deserl" him, his position
will be desperate in the extreme, and his only
escape will be 10 mount "Old Whitley" and fly
to the abolition stronghold OF Vernon, or 10 the
Federal Businesses oil North Carolina, to consort
with MIR. Badger, who ccnccdes 10 Congress The
power TO prohibit slavery in the territories.
Mississippi, Too. voted on Monday. and there
the old General has a plantation, in Jefferson
county. A few days will show how far her
noble sons, under the lead of Davis and Quit
man, have given "aid and comfort" TO Ewing
and Collamer. We cannot doubt her, and have
tho strongest conviction that Louisiana, too, has
sdesertedn 10 the Democratic cause

things, the idea of God and his worship
is the most tranquilizing. The most
turbulent heart is soothed by the con-
temptation of perfect goodness, united to
unlimited power. The most fearful eye
finds its waters receding when it looks
up to Him: And the most harrassed
mind gathers peace and consolation when
meditating on Him, who is the "same
today and forever" At all times acces-
sible, and ready to receive into his peace
which passeth all understanding, every
soul who kneels penitently at his altar.
And, with the first faint ray of grace re-
ceive into the soul. enables its professor
to bring forth fruit unto eternal life.

JUVENILE SAGAcITy.-He who is wise
enough in youth to take the advice of
his seniors, unites the vivacity and enter
prise early, with the wisdom and gravity
of latter life; and what can you lose by at
least asking their opinion, who can have
no abstract pleasure in misleading you;
and who can, if they please furnish you
with chart of that ocean, to many un-
explored, but over which they have pass
ed, while thousands have perished there
for want of that wisdom they are willing
to communicate to you? The ancients
tabled part Of this lesson in the history of
Pheton, who vainly attempted to guide
the chariot of Apollo. The world is too
much for Juvenile sagacity. and he must
have become gray-headed who is wise
enough to walk in and ont amidst the
machinery of nature and the subtleties of
human life, WITHOUT being either crushed
by the one or duped by the other:

FREE Soil OEMOCR Chase,
who was elected last winter by the Ohio
Legislature, U. S. Senator over Mr..
Ewing, the present Secretary of the Home
Department, and who has been styled by
the Union, as stealing democrat, has
been employed in making free democratic
speeches in Massachusetts, for some time
past His object has been to secure the
election of Palfrey. the free soil democratic
candidate for Congress. In his efforts he
has most signally failed, for PaIfrey is
defeated and good Whig elected in his
place.
IN a speech made during the canvass,
Mr.. Chase thus delivers himself upon the
absorbing question of slavery. Let it be
born in mind that the Union UNDERWRITERS
for MIR. Chase as stealing democrat,
and that ne is leading member of the
party known as par excellence, "the
natural allies Of the South
In his speech at Boston, Mr.. Chase said:
:It had been predicted by distinguished
democratic politicians during the late
presidential contest, that which ever party
should be beaten in that contest would
fall naturally and inevitably, into the Free
Soil party; and it was his full conviction
that few years would verify this pre-
diction, by showing us the Democratic
party, in the free States at least, arrayed
under the banner of freedom. He believ-
ed this, because the Free Soil principles
were manifested in accordance with the
convictions of every man in the free
States-he was yet to meet the man who
denied this; and if it was for the interest
of the beaten to favor the Free Soil move
ment-as it certainly was-nothing could
prevent such course as he anticipated.
He had hope of the slaveholding States
too-of the West and Southwestern,
particularly. In Missouri and Kentucky
the work had commenced. If Mr. Benton
was successful in Missouri, there were
leading men in most of the other slave
holding States who would follow his ex-
ample. He could not answer for South
Carolina

RATHER ToUGH.-The Boston Herald
relates the following rather tough story:
James Fowler, Esq, an exploit, who
left here over land last January, soon
after his arrival at San Francisco, pur-
chased an old schooner for $4,000, and in
company with Augustus Dole, of this city,
is doing good business in running the
vessel up the river, and keeping tavern,
or "shanty saloon,'' at the head Of navi-
cation They have coined into their
pockets already some $4,000 each in
the business. So says letters received by
last mail. A letter from one of the crew
of the bark Carib, of Boston, says
"Ihere is one woman here who has been
three seasons at the mines, and who has
made five hundred thousand dollars.
There are some gambling houses here,
and you may see gold in them piled up
in heaps two and three feet high3'

REFUGE OF A RoBBER IN BURIAL
VAULT.-The Cork Constitution contains
the following: "The parish church of
Carrigrohan was broken into last week
through the vestry-room. and a window
sash, some brass and iron articles, and
the hangings of the pulpit were carried
off. On the following day the sextoness
was walking through the graveyard,
when her attention was suddenly arrested
by two hands, which she perceive0thrpst
a hole in large vault, and drawing TO-
wards them piece of a coffin-board to
stop the aperture, Being much alarmed,
she went for the police, who returned
with her to the spot, and looking into the
vault, they discovered living tenant
comfortably stretched on some grass and
straw, strewed over coffin-boards anC
human bones, with skull so placed as
to answer for a pillow. They instantly
summoned the strange tenant of the tomb
to come and appear, which he seemed
very 10th to do; and it was not until they
threatened to fire at him, that he came
out and surrendered. He was most for
bidding looking villain
