rE The New York Tribune explains the
recent elections in Ohio, in the article we sub.
Join IF the administration of Dir. FILLMORE
which supported the Compromise, is not Free
soil enough to retain the support of New York
Ohio, Massachusetts and Pennsylvania, there will
have to be another Compromise--if there is en-
ough left of the South to make Compromise
out of her.
ONO AND ABOLITION The WING party in
Ohio has been ruined by being dboiitionized A
powerful Whig State in the main has been con-
verted, and turned over to locofocoism, because
the Wings there chose TO fall in the wake Of Gid
dings, Root and the like-and to mount the Abo-
liton hobby, where thousands upon thousands Of
true Wings would never go, &c. &c.-Erprcss
The Wings of Ohio carried their Governor in
1916 by close vote, and in l84S by one still
smaller, as they only could triumph, by Standing
very firmly and squarely on the Free-soii plat
form. They had previously carried the State
Gin 40 for Mr. Clay, by the aid OF Messrs. Gid
dncs and Root, on the rakel ground of hostility
to the extension Of slavery. They have now
failed to elect their Governor because they Were
mol .in the wake of u ldiny Root and the like
had they been so, they would have prevailed.

in the Congressional delegation. ind we are
assured by letter just received that it is the
opinion of Governor Ford and other clear-sghted
Ohio Wings, that, had the Syracuse Convention
been held three weeks earlier and passed the
identical Resolves it did pass, Ohio would have
gone Wing all over. But as it is, she has done
very well. ,E 1..

Thcn--nnd NOnc.

Impressions must be slight indeed,
When made by those deg "ncrate handles,
Who daily promenade our streets
And paIronse cigars and brandies.
A knight Of yore was clad in steel,
His Iady-!ove oft donned his armor;
But who would doom his padded vest
To close inspection of his charmer'
The vests are soft and warm they say,
And softer heads oft rise above them
But they must show more manly worth,
Ere cons slant hearts they find 10 love them.

A new Total Ab,tinencs Panty.

Total abstinence from argument seems at pre-
sent to be the chief pledge of the Southern sub.
mission advocates. Deprive them Of resort to
the elap-trap of sour glorious Union" treason"
"disunion," and qualification off from
them the borrowed plumage of WAsHINeTos's
+" Farewell Address" and they stand as naked
and shivering as daw deprived of its feathers.
To invectives the bolder spirits among them
sometimes resort: prejudices they appeal to, and
sometimes they even venture upon vndcations
but argument they do not attempt: they fear
and avoid it, as regiousy as certain char
acter was said to shun holy water.
The reason is obvious, the argument is all
against them. They know the more light is
shed over the subject, the loftier will the wrong
and outrage perpetrated on the South loom up
from the cloud of words in which they have OBJ
scured its proportions: and hence, theirresort to
peans on pacfeation-canticles in praise of
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES of rejoicing over submis.
sion signs at the South, and regulations of law
and equity ut the North.
The rejoicing submissionists are daily becom-
ing fewer, and the psamody most tragically
mirthful--yet to the dernler resort Of argument,
full, free, and bold discussion, but few,
(euough to constitute the rule) dare fly for re-
fuge,
As one of the latest specimens Of clear
back out, a regular dodge, We append the fo-
lowing from the Mobile Register. The mingled
alarm, perplexity, and sense of ridicule which
breathes through the response, make an anus
ing, out of what would otherwise be very dry
rej1inder:
CORRESPONDENCE.
We present to our readers n correspondence
between the two committees, one inviting Il fur
and open discussion of the late measures passed
by Congress, and the other declining. We

We are authorized by those who are opposed
to the late compromise bills to meet with you on
Tuesday next-if consistent with the views OF

convenience to inform us whether this PROPOSE

MOBILE, Oct. 4, 1850.

GENrLEMEH,-Mr. Langdon has placed in our
hands your note Of this date, in which you pro-
pose on the part Of those 'cko arr opposed IL The
late compromise bills," to meet "the friends Of
those measures" at the chowder and barbecue to
be given by the latter on Tuesday next, sand
10 discuss their merits or demeritS before The
people,"
In reply we have to say that there are COM
mittee appointed in reference to said proposed
festival, that the original call for the meeting
WIS expressly for those who were friendly 10
and who approved of the said measures of Con-
gress now become laws. Invitations have been
given to gentlemen to meet those who were
disposed to assemble for purposes Of mutual
congratulation on the cheering prospects Of the
restoration Of harmony and good feeling through
out the broad extent of this Urn. The pur-
pose Of discussing matters which have been so
fully debated, and on which their opinions are
fully formed, was not contemplated, but it was
to give expression to their appreciation Of the
action of Congress. 1t is therefore evident,
should this committee incline towards the nc
ceptnrce Of your proposal, it would have no
authority whatever to change so radically the
character of the meeting.
The want of authority would be conclusive
reason, besides which it must be apparent, after
the bitter denunciatiors of writers in the organ
Of the party YOU represent against those who
propose to hold said meeting as friends of those
peace measures, that the harmony and good
feeling which exists between the friends of those
measures, and which would make it social
aud convval festival, could no longer be ex-
pected.
We are therefore under the necessity of say
ing we cannot now alter the arrangements al
ready made, or accept the PROPOSE! made BY
you.
We are respectfully your ob't. serv'ts,

Native Talent.
/" Full many a gem, Sc. "

"'sJ V SS"'b SS' r. 81 a.
II has been remarked by many knowing indi-
ylduals since Mr.. GRAY and Lord BYRON, that
there is always II great deal of poetic talent
lying hidden under busheI tubs of various de-
scriptions everywhere.
The fact has been impressed upon our minds
in various ways, in the course OF rowing explo-
ration of different quarters Of this Union from
the Southwest to tie Northwest, especially in
regions unsophisticated yet by the labors of
schoolmasters and educated editors.
The subjoined "gem," which We find in an
Indiana paper, brings to mind commentary on
similar effer"esenee which met our eye on n
page of the register for travellers at Meredocia,
Illinois--a large and furnishing city, comprising
then two dwelling houses and grocery.
In that book, some mute Mutton Of Mere
docia had inscribed some verses---Nppended to
which some passing traveller had traced the fol-
lowing:
Genius leaves everywhere its trace
Ye gods the muses. go il!
Who'd think in this id dirty place
To find native Poet?"
But behold the new light the Ldjayeits
Courier thus extracts from under the tub
NATIVE GENIus.--Indiana has just cause to be
proud of the native talent which seems to be in
digenous to her fertile soil If the subjoned speci-
men OF extracts from an original eftuslon IN the
Warsaw Democrat, entitled, I" Lakewood = Geog-
raphy," by Geo. ID. Harris, do not Indicate the
presence of the true poetic fire, then must come
TO the inevitable conclusion that the above men
toned fire has long since been dampened out in
the "!akes and swamps" SO touchingly alluded to
by the writer
Mr.. Harris first alludes to Kosciusko county,
and observes:
"Wnrsaw is its county town,
BY lake and swamps surrounded
The men and boys 60 there to swim
It's wonder they re not drownded
.'Palestine' 5 noted place
Ii lies Just west Of Warsaw,
IL the cholera don t take them off,
They may die with the lock jaw
Then Mr.. Harris comes to the streams the
bright pellucid streams, which meander through
the green meadows with all the silvery sweetness
of his own enhancing verse
"The rivers and the creeks name,
And likewise the drains and bitches,
First, Eel river we shall name
And from the east it issues.
"Tippecanoe we now pursue,
And hear its water rattle
AS it flows towards Lafayette

THE TWENTY-SECOND.

We regret that our citizens have permitted the
birth day OF Washington to pass off with so little
demonstration. The town possesses military ma
teral enough when united, to make magnif-
Gent show, and had the military companies
received encouragement from the citizens we.
no doubt, would have had celebration worthy of
the occasion. We regret to see the little impor-
lance attached by our citizens to the maintenance
of military companies. We, however, had some
demonstration, and though it may have been
slight, II evidenced that the memory of Wash
ington is still cherished by the American people.
A detac hment of the ARTILLERY fired a sa-
lutte at the break of day. pause then ensued
until the afternoon, when Capt. Bookcrs Compa-
ny of Infantry werd brought on paradeThe show
made by the company was handsome and illus
trative OF the military and public spirit Of its SOL
dier-likc officers. At night the company of In
fantry, with several invited guests, partook of a
sumptuous supper, prepared by the gentemany
proprietor of the DIBRELL House. After par
taking OF the supper, Mr.. Ro. l.. KENT was in
trodnced to the company, and delivered a sensi-
BILE and eloquent address. After the conclusion
OF Mr.. KS address, there were drunk MANY ex
cellent sentiments, to some of which there were
spirited replies. The time passed off pleasantly,
without any occurrence to destroy the enioy-
ment.
About clock, a procession composed of the
two Divisions ofthe Sons OF TEMPERANCE, and
the Section of CADETS OF TEMPERANCE, was
formed and repaired to the Baptist Church.
Here the Anniversary Address of the Lynch
burg Section of Cadets, was delivered by Bro
JOHN w. TowNLEy, of No. %, Sons of Tenn
perance. Their ceremonies at the Church being
over the procession was again formed and pro-
ceeded to the Section Room, when after, listen
ing to a few short addresses, the ceremonies of
the evening were closed The Cadets deserve
credit Tor the manner in which they sustained
the celebrations and we hope that the increase
OF their numbers may show that they have lost
nothing by the exercises Of the evening
