Yesterday, in the House,

ton of the Galphin reports was now in order,

| The DEMOCRATIC NOMINATIONS IN VERMONT.
The regular democratic nominations are in the
field in in this State and against them is arrayed
a ticket composed Of democrats ii is true but run
ming without any hope of combining more than a
| feeble minority in its support, Just enough d.
verified from the regular ticket to ensure the sue
cess of the wings. This adverse and conflicting
| nomination made before the Compromise
administration came into power. We trust that
under the change of circumstances it will be
abandoned. 1t can do no good But for it the
free and intelligent electors of Vermont could be
rallied against the Compromise administration, by
a strong majority. The sentiment of the State
already condemnst it, and if the unembarrassed de-
csion If the electors be had, it will be in OPP
position to it. Of the candidates the Vermont
Sentinel says:
"The ticket is composed Of men well known to
! the people of the State. MIR. Peck is the present
member of Congress from this district HI is a
| gentleman, scholar, and statesman. On the
| question of freedom he is known to be safe and
southland though unalterably with the North,
vet he is firmly attached to the Union, and not a
man to desire foster any purely sectional issues
or to indulge in any berality intolerance of
opinion towards those who are seeking the accom-
plishinent Of the same great and--the limitation
and extension of human slavery; he is, besides, a
well known democrat.
Mr. Smith, the candidate for Lieut. Governor,
has for many years represented the town of Wes-
ton. He is man of worth and ability, and
every way calculated to do honor to himself and
| the party.
Mr. Poland was the candidate for Treasurer last
year. and is well known to the democracy Of the
State as for several years past, an able and SIM
cere advocate Of the doctrines Of Freedom and a
bold and nmnly opponent Of the corruptions Of
modern wliiggcry.
4 The best piece of sport that has lately occur
| red here is the great Dams. Nobody, indeed,
unless sometimes GriltendeD, is brighter, more
| festive, than grand Dan, when you get him INTO
\ hilarious mood. He was in excellent humor,
not long since, at party at Secretary Ewing's
and so, in sooth, were many others. We'll, you
! remember the derisiye name of Solitude (which
Ewing got, III former days, by one ofhis speeches;
when the company was all in high gee, in the
large saloon, Black Dan came slowly and sol
emily up TO Ewing, where he stood conspicuous
to every body, and addressed him most earnestly
in these lines, which Cowper puts into the mouth
of Alexander Selkirk-- res

In our last we published the Address of the
Nashville Convention to the people OF the South
translates, we now lay the resolutions adopted by
that body before our readers, thus giving them
the whole action of the meeting. As stated in
our last, these resolutions were unanimously
adopted, and form the platform upon which the
whole South can, and it is hoped, will stand.
Who is it, that does not in his heart prefer the
Missouri line to the miserable bill reported by the
Committee of Thirteen. In times past, this line
has given peace and quiet to the country, and if
now adopted, will do so again. Then let us
have it, as partition line between the slave and
free States. We are aware that many in the
South have been induced to favor the bills re-
ported by the Committee, but they admit that
there is a great deal Of bitter to swallow with
those bills and they also admit that the Missouri
line would be equally satisfactory to them. Then
as some Of US cannot possibly swallow the Com
mittee's plan, let us all unite upon 36o 30', and
our word for it the country will soon have peace.

A REMARKABLE PHENOMENON ON LAKE SU-
PERIoR.--On the 18th ut. singular phenomc-
non took place at Two Heart River, on the
Southern shore of Lake Superior. 1t was OBJ
served that land suddenly rose out of the water,
and the beach raised to the height of twelve
feet. -..at.ser r.... EMI
The new island is round, and about one hun
dred and fifty feet in circumference, and is raised
by the water six feet, and the rise on the beach,
which is wide at this place, is about the same
size, and looks like hillock of sand The new
island was at first covered with sand and peb-
bles, like the bottom of the lake, but the waves
have dashed over it since, and washed it down
to black clay. The water was about five feet
deep where the island was formed, and boat
had passed over the very spot not five minutes
before its formation.
A few rods from the beach, back on the rise
of ground, n great depression of the earth took
place, as remarkable as the upheavng in the wa
ter, "A circular spot Of ground, some fifty rods
in circumference, covered with trees, was sud-
denly sunk down to the depth of twenty feet
below the surface
A number of Indians, who were encamped
near this place, were very much heightened at
this strange manifestation Of the power Of the
g Great Spirit" and fled from the place in great
terror and could not be persuaded for some time
to visit the spot. No agitation of the earth, or
shock ornoise, took place, and the cause must
have been much less powerful than the internal
commissions of the earth that usually accompany
such phenomena.--Phila. Ledger.

DOMESTIC Arrow RooT.-We received few
days since from Mr.. A. A. Solomons quantity
Of Arrow Root, manufactured by David l..
Thompson, of Beaufort, S. c., which, after a
practical test we are prepared to pronounce equal
to the best Bermuda article, and greatly superior
to much that is sold in this country for pure Ber-
muda Arrow Root. 1t affords us pleasure to COM
mend to the public an article Of home production
which enters so largely into the domestic uses of
the family, especially when we can do so with a
conscious that we are fully sustained by the
merits of the article itself.
Mr.. Thompson has been engaged in the cultiva-
ton and manufacture of Arrow Root for the past
seven years, with the most encouraging success,
and we are glad to learn that the demand for the
article is rapidly increasing. We have heard of
several others, some in our own State, who have
given their attention to the cultivation of this
valuable nutritive vegetable, and we doubt not
that long our section will be able to supplythe
country which has heretofore derived its supplies
from the West Indies. ~
We are indebted to Mr.. Solomons also for a
box of Cayenne Pepper, of very superior quality,
grown and prepared by Mr.. Thompson

mount over, or even equal to, the mainten-
nance of some political organization which is
to secure President, who is an object Of
interest not because he will certainly rule, OF
perhaps ruin the South, but chiefly for the
reason that he will possess and bestow office
and spoils. The South has peculiar posi-
ton, and her important rights and interests
are objects of continual assault from the ma
jority; and the party press, dependent as it
Is upon that majority for its means OF living,
will always be found laboring to excuse the
assailants, and to paralyze all efforts at resist
ance. How is it now' The abolition party
can always be heard through its press at
the Seat of Government, but through what
organ or press at Washington can Southern
men communicate with the world, or with
each other, upon their own peculiar inter-
ests' So far from writing, or permitting
anything to be written, which is calculated
to defend the rights Of the South, or state its
case, the papers here are engaged in lulling
the South into a false security, and in man
ufacturing there an artificial public sentiment,
suitable for some Presidential platform,
though at the expense Of any and every in
terest you may possess, no matter how dear
or how vital and momentous.
This state of things results from party OBJ
legations and regard to party success, And
they but subserve the ends Of their estab-
lisbment in consulting their own interests,
and the advancement Of the party to which
they are pledged. You cannot look to them
as sentinels over interests that are repugnant
to the feelings Of the majority of the SELL
