Extract from, the Speech of Hon. Mr.. McLANA-
HAN. NJ. c., from PENNSYLVANIA

s1With US the preservation off the Union is a
paramount consideration. We cling to it as the
ssheet-anchor of all our hopes. We venerate it
as the ark OF the covenant of our national exist
ence,and wilhered be the hand that sacrilesiously
touches it. This great confederation Of sister
States cannot perish it must not be. Having
many members, the Republic has but one body.
This nation has but one heart, and every pusa-
ton of that heart beats high and strong for the
Union. Sir, cool, cunning, deliberate calculaa
tons have been made in this Capitol, as well as
elsewhere, OF the value of this Union. | will
not stop to point out the miserable fallacy of
such calculations. My feelings revolt at the
mournful task
Judas Iscariot sold his Lord and Master for
thirty pieces of silver. Conscience stung, he
flung back at the feet of those who had bribed
him the glittering treasure, aud hanged himself
His bloated and disembowelled body fell a dis
gushing spectacle to the earth, and his guilty
spirit went kissing to hell. That American cit.
izen who could betray his country and barter
away the Union for mere pecuniary considera-
tons deserve no better fate.
But, sir, I say again, this Union is safe. If
the President of The United States and Congress
assembled cannot preserve it, twenty millions of
freemen can and will and wo be unto him who,
either North Or South, raises the traitor cry of
disunon. An invisible but an electric chain of
national sympathy binds The people of this coun-
try indissolubly together in one common bond Of
brotherhood. 1t is their pride and their glory to
be one. What, sir, dissolve this Union Ia
Union cemented by the highest and hottest asso-
Citations of the past; the proud trumphs of the
present, and the glorious prospects of the future
Never! Dissolve this Union God of my coun-
try, forbid it

An elderly lady went into the market few
days ago, having made up her mind TO buy a
goose. There were but two in the market, both
in custody ola little cherry-cheeked lass from
Long Island, who, TO the surprise of her custo-
mer, positively refused to sell one without the
other. Recollecting that a neighbor expressed
wish for one, the lady was, without much diff
6culty prevailed upon to take both. When the
bargain was concluded, however, she thought
proper to enquire of the vender why she had so
peremptorily declined selling them separately
''If you please my lady," was the naive answer,
smother said as how the geese had lived togeth-
er fifteen years, and it would be cruel to part
hem."-Neuo York Paper

GOLD DUST.-The amount Of California
gold received by the steamships Georgia and
Empire City, just arrived at New York from
Chagres, is confidently estimated as being in the
neighborhood of $1,5oo,ooO. The steamship
Philadelphia, whose arrival at New York is
looked for some time this week, will bring about
$780, more. The reason assigned for the
small receipts Of gold dust is, that there had not
been any intercourse between San Francisco and
the mines for several weeks, in consequence of
the great height of the rivers.-Sun, l2th.

STATE CONVENTION.

As soon as we can get the space, we propose
to say something upon this subject. Without
intending to commit ourselves to all the details
of the bill just passed, we say we go for a Con-
vention. We go for extending the right Of SAT
frage we wish that not only the right of the
people in this particular shall be increased, but
that their po,rer shall also be felt hereafter at
the polls, and not subjected to the sitting innu-
ence of Gubernatorial action.--Rleh. Wig.

SOMETHING WORTH KNOWING 1T is fact.
perhaps not generally known to farmers thai
there are two parts in the potato, which if sepa-
rated and planted at the same time one will
produce potatoes fit for the table eight or ten
DAYS sooner than the other. The small end of
the potato which is generally full of eyes, is that
part which produces the earliest, the middle or

larger ones. ,..~ =,

He says:
Every body believes there is 10 be compro-

condemned on the spot. The plan of old lack
won't do; it is the do-nothing plan, and some
thing must be DONE Gen. Taylor has done the
best he could, and that is nothing; because, if
he does anything, he is a fused up MANI

see-saw, he goes down; therefore, that is to say,
he prefers to sit still in the middle, and let the
concern work itself.

A PErRIr1ED BoDy.--A subject which had
been buried five or six years, was taken up a
few days since, says the Houston Miss Repub-
lican, Of the Goth utino, for the purpose of re-
moving 10 different location, and 1onnd in a
high state of petrlfcation 1t required the
strength Of six men to raise the coffin from the
vault, this caused them TO open it TO discover
the cause of the weight when to their surprise,
they found it to contain form of stone. With
the exception OF the fingers, part Of one of the
feet, and small spot under the position of the
hands, which had decayed before the petriica-
ton had taken place, the body was apparently a
solid stone This circumstance occurred in this
country, seven or eight miles north Of this place,
and presents problem for scientific solution.
