Picnic In The Country,

Mr.. EDITOR Allow me to mention the
pleasure enjoyed by attending a picnic" in So
merS last Friday. On arriving at the spot solec-
ted-a beautiful grove-we found the parents
and school Of the district assembled and the hap
py faces we SGw, and the pleasant songs we heard,
assured US that there were happy hearts. The
Influence of such a meeting of the parents and
school must be beneficial. The children learn
that they are of consequence, and that upon their
good behavior depends the happiness of the &C.
casion; the parents, by an interchange of tho'ts
and by being surrounded by the children, are re-
minded ftheir obligations and duties.
After the singing of several songs by the
school, remarks were made by several gentle
men, which were attontiycly listened to by those
present, aG9which cannot fail to do good. The
company then repaired to the table, which was
bountfulIy supplied, and which reflected crcdi,
on the ladies', who prepared it. We noticed
around it one, a shade darker than his fellows :;
but we heard no objection TO standing at the
same table," whatever there might have been
to sitting. After an afternoon pleasantly spent,
we took leave of Miss Williams and her school.
wishing that there might be picnic in every DIS
trlct in the State, and that the good feeling that
perya1ed this school might also peryade others.

The election returns from Missouri, indicate
that Col Benton has been elected TO Congress
over Bogy the regular bunker candidate, and al
so over Caruthers the wing candidate. The
election of Col. Benton is a most gratifying TIL
umph, lnasmuch as he has had opposed to him
during the past three years, powerful and deter
mined enemies, and strong ultra pro.sayery in
tiuences. No efforts have been spared to SUBJ
due and render powcress, the champion Of a
thirty years campaign in the Senate Of the Uni
ted States-whosc history is interviewer with
many of the most important political events of
our country, and who has more than once boldly
and successfully confronted the arrogant de-
mands of the slave power.
Some three years ago while Col. Benton was
in the Senate of the United States, series OF
resolutions were introduced and passed in the
Legislature of Missouri, instructing the Senators
of that Statc,'in Congress, to take extreme pro.
slavery ground, and unite in the ultra measures
of other Southern States. Col Benton de-
nounced tHesc resolutions and took an appeal to
the people. An animated canvass was had in
1880 in cIccting q new Legislature, in which the
friends of Col. Benton succeeded in carrying
large majority Of the democratic members; the
anti Benton democrats however, united with the
wings; thus wing United States Senator was
elected in place of Col Benton. The indomitabe
energies of Col Benton were not to be foiled by
such n coalition of lis enemies he denounced
the authors of the Slavocrat resolutions with
more vchcmcnce than ever ; he denied the AFRO
giant assumptions that the north were cncroach-
ing upon the rights of the south. He became
candidate for Congress in the first congressional
district OF Missouri, and carried his cause direct
Iy to the tribunals of the people with truthful
energy, and with power of intellect which but
few men of the country are capable of excrcis-
ing. lie has come out triumphant through
terccy contested political campaign, and his in
tiuence IS yet destined to be widely felt in the
councils of the nation.

TEMPERANCE CONVENTION

BY notice in another column will be seen n
call for State Temperance Convention, to be
held at Troy, Walworh Co., on the 25th of
August, inst. We notice in several papers in
the northern part of tho State, call for SINH
lar Convention at Watertown, Jefferson Co.. on
the 9th of August, inst. The holding of two
State Conventions avowedIy for the same object.
at nearly the same time, might seem to indicate
conflicting interests and a difference of opinion
We are assured by those instrumental in the
movement that the calling of two conventions
was wholly accidental; the signers of both calls
having the same aims and objects in view. and
that it was the original intention to hold but ono
convention III the month of August. Both calls
having been extensively published, it is now in
convenient to recall either in season to prevent
msapprehenslon both conventions will there
fore doubtless be held. In the mean time we yo'd
suggest to those who take an interest in the
cause OF temperance in this county, and who
ioel that something more ought to be done to av-
crt the evils OF intcmperance, to attend one or
both of these conventions. The convention nj
Troy, will be most convenient in point of dis
lance, and VIC are informed that a number of per-
sons in this vicinity purpose to attend that con-
vcntion.

u 1t will be seen from a call published in our
paper this week, that Mass Convention with
out party distinctions, is proposed TO be held at
GAINESVILLE, to nominate Judges of the Supreme
Court 1t is evident that the nominations re-
Gently made at Madison, are regarded with dis
favor by the people. Notwithstanding the gen.
eral dislike of the present nominees, there ap-
pears to be difference of opinion as to the best
method OF bringing suitable candidates into the
field. Some think that even Mass Conventions
tor this purpose are Objectionable, for however
much political considerations may be excluded,
they are nevertheless liable to be controlled by
designing men. Were it practicable for public
opinion to be concentrated upon suitable cand-
dates, without the aid of Conventions or Mass
Meetings, it would doubtless be good policy to
dispense with the proposed meeting to embody
public sentiment. In the case now under con-
sldera:lon, there seems to be difficulty AL.
though public opinion appears to be pretty dis
tncIy fixed upon candidate for Chief Justice.
there are at least dozen candidates named for
Associate Judges. How then is a selection to
be made, with any hope of success, unless some
expression OF the public will be had by Mass
Meeting, or such demonstration To prevent
multiplicity of candidates from being before
the people, and to secure concentration of ac.
ton, we hope the meeting at GAINESVILLE, will as
semble and nominate ticket worthy the sun.

u The pro-slaVery presses appear TO be great
ly delighted, because Charles Sumner was pre-
vented from making a speech upon the subject
OF the Fugitive Slave Law, in the Senate there
by, the Union being saved from immediate dis
solution. 1t would seem from their joyful man
ifestatons, that the country has passed terrible
crisis unframed. Jud ging from the debate in
the Senate, while the question of allowing Sum-
ner to speak was pending, it must have been a
season of melancholy solemnity-awfully por-
tentous for the time being, of the downfall of the
glorious Union. The Southern members declar-
ed that any disturbance whatever of the Fugi-
tive Slave Law, would be the signal for a gene
raj breaking up Of the confcderacy of statcs.-
The northern dough-aces, seemed deeply i'm
pressed with the impending catastrophe, and
bowed with obsequious submission. In fine, til c
Senate came to the sorow:ul conclusion that le-
galized negro catching, is now the chief saliva
ton OF the Republic--the strong ligament which
binds and holds the states together. Our Sena-
tor, Gen. Dodge, being an old warrior, and a
man of nerve, did not, however, appear to be
quite so awe-struck in view Of the impending
danger; he was one of the ten, who hazard
ed the fate Of the Union by voting for Free
Speech.

to be heard from, which gave, in 1913, MAORI
ty for Manthy, whig candidate for governor at
that time, of 1857. Reed is chosen, without
doubt, and the vote is very large. The Legisa-
ture is doubtful.

The nominations made at the recent judicial
Convention, meet with but cold reception by
the people. Even some of the presses which
were among the most Jealous in getting up this
partizan contrivance to nominate judges, now
treat the doings of the Convention with marked
indifference. Iii evident there is prevailing
dissatisfaction, and there only needs to be bro't
before the people, the names of men of proper
character and qualifications, to defeat oycrwhem-
ingIy this effort of party machinery to thrust par
uzan Judges on the bench of the Supreme

The comparative Indifference which the towns
on the lake shore have hitherto manifested in re-
laiIon to the Lake Shore Rail Road is not lit
tie surprising. The importance of the route
and the manifest pccuniary interest," which the
inhabitants along the western shore of the lake
have in the early undertaking and the ultimate
completion of the road, should lead at once TO
vigorous action. While there is such n seem

be expected that capital will be as readily inv-
