THE POST,
Athens, Friday, May IA, 1852.

eB- The Augusta Chronicle, speaking OF
the late "llare up" in the Wing Catcds at
Washington, says:
"a new organization will now be formed
mn organization upon the principles of the
Georgia Platform, upon which the conserva-
tive men of the whole South, Wings and
Democrats, will take their position and march
in solid phalanx to the defence and mainten-
ance of their principles, rights and the Con-
stitutiof of the Republic.
The whole South is evidently on the verge
IF not in the midst, of great revolution in
public sentiment, in reference to the National
Wing and Democratic parties. This, there
fore, is but "the beginning of the end" the
germ of great movement, involving the
gravest consequences to the country and its
institutions. In sach a crisis, it behooves the
Constitutional Union party Of the South, that
portion who seek rather to promote the great
Interests of the whole country, than to pur-
sue the spoils. to stand fast; and sooner or
later they will have the high qualification OF
seeing the conservative men of the whole
South, and of all parties, taking position
upon their platform"

The N. o. Picayune seems rather to doubt
the truth of the statement made in the
Porvenir of Vera Cruz of the 18th ut., which
saws that bv private letter it had learned the
fact of the rejection Of the Tehuantepec treaty
by the Chamber of Deputies, the only vote in
favor of it being that of Senor Vinda, the
representative from Puebla; as it cannot find
any reference to the circumstanccin the pa
pers from the city. The Porvenir, the Plea
yune says, is a bitter opponent of the Tehu.
antepec project, and dencunces it on every
occasion with great bitterness. 1t sees moth
ing but disaster and humiliation for its coun.
try in the prosecution of the enterprise, and
has lately come to the conclusion that wal
between the United States and Mexico is
inevitable. ..

following paragraph, clipped from letter
from Washington, dated April 80, to the
Baltimore Sum-
The friends of Mr.. Fillmore and of the
compromise, as a fnality, are in excellent
spirits, never having been so confident as
they now are of the nomination Of Mr. Fill
more. They will go into the convention with
one hundred and fifty-six votes forty OF
them being from the non-slayeholding States,
and including the friends Of MIR. Webster;
This majority of $50 delegates will proceed
at once to establish the compromises and
their fnalty as their platform, and declare
that no candidate that comes not up, fairly
and squarely, to these principles, shall be
nominated They will have nothing fnrthe:
to do than to agree upon known and avowed
compromise MN as their candidates, and
nominate them. The Seward faction can
then secede, taking upon themselves the
responsibility of dividing the party and break

Mrs Partington once invited an aged cler-

On opening the sugar-bowl, she discovered a
deceased mouse in the premises. In the en-

seized a large lump of sugar and flung it
behind the backlog, while she carefully de-
posted the mouse in the gentleman's cup.
He discovered the mistake as soon as he
began to stir the sugar.

LoAFERs. Tire Nashville Gazette, one of

the following ii regard to class of which
our TOM can boast pretty good sprinkle:
The Loqfer. He is peculiar to the human
species. He is unknown among the inferior
animals, The brute crention arc too SELF
reliant and too observant of the rights of 9TH
ers, to admit the loafer among them. They
would thrust him out of theic tribe, as the
bees unhive their drones. Pity 'tis that there
is no such instinct in man. If there were,
the loaier could find no place for his foot
He is fungus to the social trunk, yielding
neither beauty nor utility. His object is not
a malicious one. He is the kindest creature
in the world He takes no offence and gives
none. He loves every body, especially those
who will treat and hear him talk. He will
put up with any accommodations, so that his
head is covered and he has society. He lives
mysteriously, having ncitheEmoney nor credit.
No one can explain this enigma of his life.
He is the man of the present He rarely re-
fleets on the past, and not even hopes for the
future. If the present be well, all is well.
Heis partial to familiar localities, and has no
great ambition to form new acquaintance. -
This is as much from habit, as from the belief
that sold friends are true friends" and never
tire of him. He is curiosity, were he not
so common. He is, at least, study. Such
is the professed Loafer. Incomplete is that
tiew of human nature, that does not compre.
herd him within its limits. We will not say
how much is lost by such ignorance. Very
much, perhaps, to those who hope to know

Where the alders girt a grassy
Leaf embowered nook,
There spied cottage lassie,
Washing by the brook.
Bright the wavelets glanced beside her:
Brighter was the look
Which she gave to him who spied her
Washing by the brook.
Sweet the song of birds around her,
Songs from natures book:
Sweeter hers to him who found her
Washing by the brook.
Heaven bless her Heaven watch her
Pride may overlook,
But for graces may not match her;
Washing by the brook.

In Gen. Jackson's day it was thought that
no Improvement could be made except for
national purposes. During the re-adminis-
tration OF Jackson, Bailie Peyton was in
charge feertain lands upon the Cumberlan
river, higher than Nashville. A bill was pas
sed in Congress whose benefit did not ex-
tend to his land. He went to Congress and
he got into the bill passage for the benefit
of the Cumberland river, from Nashville up.
1t was said that the old General was going to
veto it, and Peyton went to him in great a.
mazemeft to inquire the reason. ut is not

consttutional!" said Peyton, "and yetyou did
not veto the first bill" "Certainly not an

tional to improve as far as Nashville" "HoW
is that!" inquired Ballie. "Because Nashville
is port Of entryr,, replied the General. Pey-

BILL, introduced a clause making Mouth OF
