moerat as quoted by the Enquirer Of this city.
AYERS that decided majority OF the delegates APP
pointed to the Baltimore Convention are in favor
OF Governor Marcy. Our readers will bear in
mind that Marcy is the intimate political associate
of Martin Van Buren, aud his son John, and has
always been thoroughly identified with the Barn
burner Free-soil wing Of the New y ork De-
mocracy. What will the Virginia Democracy
do in case this fdus debates of the little Magician
shall receive the nomination of the National Con-
vention Is their platform broad enough to bear
him and his abolition followers
The last number of the Democratic Review
gives the following graphic sketch of Gov. Marcy.
which we commend to the notice of those who
may be curious to know what the leaders of the
Democratic party say and think of each other:
Just fancy Governor Marcy presuming to thrust him
sen forward as National Democratic candidate Gov
enor Marcy whose antecedens are so pure and so un
questionable, and straightforward Governor Marcy
who having accepted the office Of Mexican Commissioner
under the Tyler administration admitted the ques-
tlonabe and ridiculous claims and consequently under
the last commission expended the year 1851 at Wash
1nSon acting chietadvser attorney and wepuler in
the prosecution OF these very claims against Govern
ment Governor Marcy, who forced himself by intrigue
into the Polk Cabinet for the predetermined purpose of
driving Sas Wright and his friends so far North as to
break them down nationally and thereby secure the Pres
| identia nomination in 1913 General Cass: and who

alter the deeat of General Cass goes to the Barn
burners and attempts to form coalition with them for

that the ngues OF Marcy for the last years have
prevented cordial reunion Of the party But for him.
the party light now unit and long as he is in
the way the party will not unite Having cheated both
wings Is madness to suppose that either will again
trust him. We heard but the otbe, dan e,aiued HIN

pullies hosting his governoshp but with devilsh look

The HUMAN T1pE.-The Louisville Courie
says, that the boats from that place, and those
from above, bound for St. Louis, are all crowded
with passengers. They are mostly farmers from
the East, who seek a new home in the West anf
Calitornians. The Statesman, which passed down
few days ago, had over 600 souls on board. and
her cargo consisted mostly of live stock and
farming implements belonging to the passen-
gers.
The St. Louis Intelligencer SAYS The tide
ct emigration from the Ohio continues to pour
IN upon US; every boat comes densely crowded
with passengers, no inconsderable portion of
whom are bound to California. It is generally
thought that larger number will cross the plains
this season than did the past.
Our city is filled with emgrants, and at every
town on the Upper Missouri hundreds and thou
sands have assembled to take an early start in the
spring. Upon the first appearance of grass the
tide will commence rolling over the plains and
continue throughout the spring and summer
months Several large and we'll organized COM
panles will leave in advance of the main BODY
with pack mules, and by feeding to Fort Laramie,
get start that will enable them to accomplish
the trip before the great heat sets in on the plains
and avoid many of the other Inconvenience and
hardships of the voyage.

The Augusta Consiautionalist of Friday COM
planning of the high prices of provisions in that
city, says that few days since beef was selling
In market at 18a cts. per pound. 1t is now selling
at l2a to Is cts, and not very good at that Lamb,
veal and pork at about the same price. Chickens
40 to 5Ocents apiece, and scarce. Turkeys, ducks
and geese, none for sale. Sweet Potatoes scarce
at 81 so per bushel. Corn Meal 81 per bushel.
Country Butter scarce at 20 cents per pound
Other things in proportion.
In our markets prices of fresh meats are unusual
lyhigh, but they still figure or two lower than
in Augusta. Beef is selling at l24 cents per h.,
but veal and lamb are held higher Indeed an
experienced market-man told us few DAYS ago
that he had never known fresh provisions as dear
as they are thisSpring. Good lamb meat has sold
as high IS cents, and fresh butter has found
purchasers at 374 cents per b. Shad are selling
at 25 a 80 cents and vegetables are proportion
ately high. Bacon is also selling at5high pr ices
IA cents per h. being asked and obtained for good
hams Bread, however, is cheap-and it is some
consolation to know that the price of Flour will
rule low for some months to come.

The Columbus Rifemen.

This gallant and well-drilled company cele-
brated their fifteenth anniversary on the 18th
instant They left town early last Monday
for their place of Rendezvous, Mount Zion,
some eight miles distant, and have been en-
camped out ever since. We visited their
encampment on Thursday, and were highly
delighted with the charming sylvan scenery
of the place, and the neat, tasty arrangement
of the camps The tents were pitched in the
cool grove, with an open space in front,
which had been smoothed and brushed over
for the purpose of drilling and exercising the
corps Soon after we arrived, the company
were drawn out to try their skill at target
shooting, and each member in turn stepped
forth and delivered his fire in a right soldier
ly manner. Newton Davis was the winner
of the first prize on the occasion, and we be-
lieve all shot we'll. After the target-shooting
was over, dinner was announced, which had
been served up in elegant style and with
profuse abundance. A bright bevy of ladies
was first led to the table by the ever-gallant
and noble-hearted Captain, Chas. H. Albert,
who is in his element, whether the fair are
to be served or his company drilled. All
seemed to enjoy the dinner and do ample
justice to the good things before them. In
the evening dance was got up, and the
lads and lassies for an hour or two stripped
it on the light fantastic toe" to the music Of
the violin But we were compelled to leave
the delightful scenery and the gay-hearted
company at an early hour, just as we are
compelled to cut this notice short by want
of time. The Columbus Rihemen were or

is simply to afford anti-Scott wings an ex

We doubt if they expect any wing of sense
to credit single one of the branded false

and whig editors think they accomplish much
when they give such wings an excuse fol

Pierce as bad as Scott. That is all they art
trying to do; for if every one of tn,
abolition falsehoods they circulate was al
true as it is false, still Scott is more uusount
than Pierce on the slavery question.
Will the trick succeed? We doubt it,
Such wings as want to support Scott would
