been received by members of the Legislature from
Gen Cass. They breathe great fear of the disso-

to be in a close corner. He wishes to be unfetter

RE-VAcS1NAToN.--We take the following infor-
nation, which may prove useful to all classes OF
our fellow citizens, from the Home Journal:
First, every individual is susceptible of vaccina-
ton; secos re-vaccion is not necessary before pu-
herty; .,;lrd tbosystam undergoes change at pu-
berty, Fs-saccination is then necessary; fourth,
vacci'iation preventative of small pox fifth,
re-vaccinaton is a sure preventative of varioloid
SIXTH the third vaccination is inert: seventh, the
system is susceptible of varoloid after puberty.
whenever the individual is exposed TO small pox.
without re-vaccination; eighth, revaccnatnn is not
necessary if the first opperation was performed
since puberty; ninth, those who disregard vacein-
alton are always liable to small pox whenever en-
posed to the influence of that dreadful disease
TENTH if every individual were vaccinaed before pu-
berty and re-vaccinated at that revolution OF the
system, there would be no such disease existing as
the small pox.

Anigatar,s Nest,

They resemble, SAYS Lyell in his second visit
to America hayrocks about four feet high, and five
in Diameter at their base, being constructed with
grass and heritage. First they deposit one layer
of eggs on foor OF mortar, and having covered
this with a second of mud and hcrbage, eight in
ches thick, lav another sett of eggs upon that, and
so on to the tor: there being commonly from one
to two hundred eggs in a nest With their tails

and reeds five feet high. to prevent the approach
of unseen enemies The female watches her eggs
until they are hatched by the heat of the sum- and
then takes her brood under her care, defending
them and providing for their subsistence. DIR. Luz
enherger of New Orleans, told me that he once
packed up cne of these nests with the eggs in
box for the museum of st. Petersburgh but was
recommended before he closed it to see tliatthere
was no danger of any of the eggs being hatchcd

Mr.. Claws Speech.

The Washington correspondent OF the o. S.
Journal, writing under the date of Feb 6, says:
Parties had come from Portland, in Maine, from
New York, Philadep pha, Richmond, and even
Charleston, with the single. object of hearing the
speech. At 81 O'clock yesterday morning, every
nook and corner of the galleries were filled, and at
2, the hour of opening the Senate, the rotunda
and all the passages leading to the chamber we're
crowded, principally with ladies, having not the
slightest prospect of gaining ad.nissiou but unwi-
made to the Vice President he consented for the
occasion, to throw open the doors and admit all
who could be accommodated In an instant the
privileged Seats and lobbes and aisles, were filed
to replption so that even Senator'S who Glanced to
be tardy, found great difficulty in reaching their
seats.
The scene was indeed grand and imposing, when
the venerable statesman rose to address the Senate.
Though treading upon the borders of his 74th
year, his manly form seemed rs erect, his move
ments as graceful and elastic, his voice distinct
and melodious as everi The magnatude Of his
theme, the perpetuity of the American Republic,
seemed to have impaired to him extraordinary en-
ergv and vigor both of body and mind; and ven-
ure the assertion that the Senate has not witness
ed display Of elouuence so luminous and annat-
ed since Mr. CLAY bade adeu 10 that body. in 842.
The Senate and auditory, tho rendered oppress-
iTrly uncomfortable by the immense crowd. main
taind with only one or two slight interruptions the
most breathless silence, save when their feelings
were deeply moved by the magic wand of the great
orator and on the countrnaces of all were depicted
the most intense interest in the mometous subject
under consideration. The speech occupied in its
delivery, Yesterday and today.

he assumed middle ground, and condemned the

"Mr. Houston said he did not sign the address,
and designed to cast reflection on those who did
his object was simply to express his own dissent
to their action He then proceeded with some gen

A letter in the Boston ChronotypeG Sas the
following tribute to the Southern ladie
The first thing that struck me in egsH'to the
women at the South was their beauty of form
their symmetrical and harmonious figures. In this
and in the ease and grace of their motions they ex-
eel Northern women. Many of them dress with
exquisite taste; often very richly, but seldom gaa-
Oily, or with any display of tnsel. The proverbial
affability and urbanity of the Southern character
finds the fullest development in the women. The
Southern lady is naturally and necessarily easy,
unembarrassed, and polite. You may go into the
country where you please; you may go as far as
vou please from town, village and post office you
may call at the poorest house you can find, and
whether YOU accost maid matron, you will be an
severed with the same politeness, and treated with
the same spontaneous courtesy.

EE The following telegraphic report we find
in the Toledo Blade. That the old Chieftain is
firmly devoted to the Union, and that he will use
all the means placed in his powerby Virtue of his
ufice, to quell any attempt at dsunion, we cannot
for moment doubt; but that he is guilty of reply
ing to Southern committee in the language at
tributed to him, is extremely doubtful. 1t is net
like the man:
"The President is very firm and the Southern
members are in full possession of his views. A
committee of them inquired in an interview with
him, fhe had expressed himself ready to maintain
the Union at any cost? He replied that he had,
and should blockade every Southern port in case
of resistance of collection of customs. That he
should not nterpose the regular army, but should
call volunteers from the Northern and Western
Statcs, putting himself at their head and should
nour ont his blood if needed, in defence of the
Union"

Give the devil his due is a maxim of wisdom
This We shall do in according to President Taylor
the full and faithful discharge of his duty SO .tar
1t appears Of record in relation to slavery in the
Territories. See his message on the subject
The President is certainly justified in 'non-nterfer
ence' whatever Congress may see fit To do. That
is all we ask of General Taylor Hands of, so far
as the executive is concerned in the formation and
udntssio1a Of these States That is work for the
people of the Territories and Congress to do; but
when admitted let the executive stand by them.
This the President pledges himself to do. Under
this rule California and New Mexico will come in
as free States and the South aOiU not be oEowed
To dissolve the Union on this account. IF they
SHOULD bolt. as they have threatened because
California is not willing to adopt the institution of
slavery, the President will stand by the Consttu-
tion and every friend of the Union will rally round
him, creating a phalanx as impenetrahle wall
of fire. [Cleveland Dem.) Plain Dealer.
