WING SYMPATHY.

Certain politicians of this place are
now very industriously laboring to con
vince the people Of this county, tn a, they
have been badly treated in the disposition
of Offices by some Of the other counties
in this Congressional District. This is all
CANNON. After having had the Congress
man in this county, eight years out Of the
last ten. it would be a pretty tale to tell
that we had been badly used. The peo-
pie know better. If any of the counties
have a right to complain it is certainly not

GEN. SCOTT ON THE STUMP.

So alarmed have the wings become al
the prospect of Gen. Scott's certain de.
feat, that the General has been started Out
on an electioneering tour to the west. He
addressed the wings at Pittsburgh, Cleve-
land, Columbus and Cincinnati. His os-
tensible object is TO choose a site in Ken
lucky for a military asylum, but the rea!
object is to make capital for the election
in November. t.

CONGRESSIONAL CANDIDATES.

We have been informed that G. c.
CARROLL, Esq, has backed off the track
as the wing candidate for Congress in this
District, leaving the way clear for N.
HoLLIsTER, Esq, Of this place, as the OPP
position c%andidateto Gov. SHANNON. We
suppose DR.. Carroll concluded, as this
county had had the Congressman for eight
out Of the last ten years, that some man
here ought, Of right, pay the expenses Of
the next campaign; for we suppose that no
one seriously entertains the idea that Gov.
Shannon can be defeated.
The proceedings of the Free.Soil Con-
vention, which nominated Mr.. HOLSTER
will be found in to-day's paper.
AS the Free-soil candidate, Mr.. HOLSTER
will receive the vote of that party, and
perhaps a part Of the wing vote. in this
county. The vote of those wings who call
themselves "Union whigs," and those who
have heretofore opposed abolitionism in
all its shapes, will no doubt cast their vote
for Gov. Shannon, as it would exhibit the
height of inconsistency for them to vote
for a candidate taken from the ranks of the
old "Liberty Party" as it was called.
Those wings who, in 1849, expressed such
an awful horror at the repeal of the "black
laws" of this State, we expect to see on
the stump in opposition to Mr.. Hollister.
Who does not remember the anathemas
that were. heaped upon the head Of the
Democratic candidate for Representative
in the State Legislature by certain wings
in this county, in l849, Tor voting for the
repeal of the so.called sblack laws" and
the predictions made by them that our
county would be overrun by a black pop.
ulation? Awful and dire calamity was to
follow in its train! Their virtuous indig-
nation will again be called into exercise.
As a matter Of course the entire Demo.
cratic vote will be cast for Gov. Shannon.
1t would be a very moderate calculation
10 set down the average majority of Gov.
Shannon, in each county in the District al
7O0-some will be more, perhaps some
less.

FATAL CASUALTY - The reception of
Gen. Scott, yesterday, was attended with
one of the melancholy events too often oc-
curing on such occasions. Aman named
Henry Feller, attached to the cannon and
acting as gunner. was so badly injured by
a premature discharge, that he died a
short time after the accident. His left
arm was rent from the socket, and his side
and face extremely mangfed. Mr.. Fell
Ter was a blacksmith, of excellent charac.
ter, having a wife and family Of helpless
children dependent on him for raiment
and daily food.
Another man, whose name we have moi
learned, was also much hurt, but we are
glad to learn there are fair prospects for
his recovery.-Ohio Statesman, Sept. 90.

RAILROAD CONVENTION.

We would call the attention Of the public
generally, and especially Of all persons imme-
dately interested in Railroads, to the Circular to
the Presidents of Railroad Companies from the
committee Of the meeting held in this city on the

journed until the first Tuesday in March, that the
great convention to be held at New Orleans on

proposed modification of the laws regulating mail

ELOQUENT APPEAL.

Paul Denton, Methodist preacher in Texas,
advertised barbecue, with better liquor than
is usually furnished. When the people were
assembled, desperate in the crowd cried out,
"Mr. Paul Denton, your reverence has lied
You promised not only good barbecue, but
better liquor. Where's the liquor2"
"There!" answered the missionary, in tones
of thunder, and pointing his motionless finger
at the double spring, gushing up in two strong
columns with sound like q shout of Joy from
the bosom of the earth.
"There!" he repeated, with. q look terrible
as lightning, while his enemy actually trembled
at his feet; there is the liquor which God the
Eternal brews for all his children.
"Not in the smmering still, over smoky fires
choked with poisonous gases, and surrounded
with the stencil of sckening odors and rank
corruptions, does our Father in Heaven prepare
the precious essence of life, pure cold water
but in the green and grassy dell, where the red
deer wanders and the child loves to play, there
God brews it; and down, down in the deepest
valleys, where the fountains murmur and the
rills sing, and high up the tall mountain tops
where naked granite glitters like gold in the
sun, where the storm cloud broods. and the
thunder storms crash, and away far out on the
wide, wild sea, where the hurricane howls mu-
sic, and the big waves roar the chorus, sweep
ing the march of God--there he brews it. that
beverage of life, health-giving water. And
everywhere it is a thing Of beauty-gleaming
in the dew-drops, shining in the gem, till the
trees all seem to turn to living jewels-spread-
ing golden veil over the setting sun, or a
white gauze around the midnight moon, sport
ing in the cataracts, dancing in the hail show
ers, folding its bright snow curtain softly about
the wintry world and weaving the many-col-
ored iris, seraphs zone Of the sky, whose roof is
the sunbeam of Heaven, all checked over with
the celestial flowers by the mystic hand of re-
fraction still always it is beautiful-that blessed
life-water. No poison bubbles on its brink, its
form brings not madness and murder, no blood
stains its liquid glass; pale widows and orphans
weep not burning tears in its depth and no
drunkard's shrieking ghost, from the grave,
curses it in words of eternal despair! Speak
out, my friends Would you ever change it for
the demons drink--alcohol

swered, "NOW .. ny.

Owing to the extremely inclement weather on
Saturday evening, the Hall at Carusi's Saloon
was less crowded than it would have been
under more favorable circumstances; yet every
literary entertainment promised by the pro-
gramme passed off to the entire satisfaction of
those present. ~ a@
After a prayer, eloquent, fervent, and appro-
address was delivered by Thos. W. Upton, ESQ.,,
of Ohio, in his peculiarly thrilling and animated
style of eloquence. The Farewell Address was
admirably read by Mr.. Cunningham and the
oration by Mr.. Wilson was oil that his troops of
friends could desire. nE NJ #0Gt -4#
The introductory, intended only, of course, ms
predatory exercise to the reading of the Fare
well Address, constituted in itself very neat
birthday oraton--in which tie exalted charac-
ter, eminent public services and infexible pa
triotism Of WASHINGTON, we're commented upon
in language Of glowing rapture--and was greeted
particularly the eufogy pronounced on his toregn
policy, with decided applause. The grand motive,
however, which impelled Washington to ADDRESS
the American people--namey, to exhort them TO
cultivate harmony, and discard all sectional pre-
iudices-Mr T. endeavored most earnestly to inn
press upon the minds of his auditory and to this
branch of the subject he devoted the greater por-
tion of his remarks. For himself, he was hope.
full of the destiny of our country. He quoted
literally from Jackson, Clay, Corwin, Gen, Scott,
and Daniel Webster, TO show the deep regard in
which Washington's sage advice is stiil held by
eminent meu of all parties, and how eincere and
devoted is their attachment to our republican
form Of government, and the Union Of these
States. -fs..
1t would he an agreeable task to note, more at
length, the various points, touched as they we're
by mastery hand, in this introductory, II it
were not trenching upon your space. Mr. Upton,
as a forid and impetuous orator, is not SO we'll
nor SO widely known as his real merit deserves;
and IL is to be hoped that his modesty VIII not
prevent his attainment of a full measure OF fair
fame.

The Peace or Europe.


Great peace in Europe Order reigns
From Tiber's hills to Danube plains ~
So say her kings and priests so say
The lying prophets Of our day.
Go lay to earth listening ear;
The tramp of measured marches hear,
The rolling of the cannons wheel,
The shottod muskct's murderous peal,
The night alarm, the sentry's call,
The quick cared spy in hut and hail.
From Polar sea to tropic fon
The dying groans of exiled men,
The bolted CELL the galley's chains,
The scah'old smoking with its stains.

Peaco-in the dungeon-vaults and graves.

And snarcs in every water set,
Whose tabled keys of heaven and hell
Bolt hard the patriots prison cell,
And open wide the banquet hall
Where kings and priests hold carnival!

Boy Kaiser with thy lip of lies;
Base gambler for Napoleon's crown,
Barnacle on his dead renown!

With bleeding feet the wilderness.
