CO The Whig papers are making desperate
efforts to reconcile themselves to their terrible
disaster in North Carolina no less desperate
than the exertons they used, before the election.
by franking the SANDER of Foss, Fogg & Co., TO
produce different result. Some of them ex-
cuss the defeat by representing Kerr to have been
little known by the people, and o dead weight
upon the party; others allege that his defeat was
owing to local issues, in which Reid had the adj
vantage of being on the more radical side. But
the truth cannot be disguised, that the election
was a test of party strength under the nomina-
tions of Baltimore, and that Scott was the plum
met that slnk,:the whig cause. The Whining
ton Journal has the following language:
''The attempt to shuttle out from this matter
Ito make it appear different from what 1t really
is-must prove g No go,"-a dead failure. East
and West, North and South, it viii be felt that
John Kerr was distanced because he had TOO
much weight to carry. Wing gentlemen know
and admit this when they choose to be candid
about it. Every body knows the damper that
SCOTS nomination cast upon kerrs prospects,
and none can forget the anticipations Of defeat
which were formed and expressed by Whigs.

lions have all been realized

OCz- We extract the following from letter
written by Gen. Shields of Illinois, dated Wash
ington, August 5, 1852.
"A mans qualifications for civil liberty Fcan
never be determined by the amount of his prop
erty or the place of his birth. There seems to
be no good reason why man who flies from
want and oppression in Europe, who selects this
country in preference to all Others as the future
home of himself and family, and who looks for
ward to the day when his ashes shall mingle
peacefully with the soil of his adopted country,
and his soul return to the God who gave it
there seems, repeat, to be no earthly reason
why such man should not make good citi-
zen, and take as deep an interest in the welfare
of the government as if he descended in direct
line from one of the pilgrim fathers. In this
age all civilized nations are open to immigration.
The immigration to a country is generally in
proportion to its prosperity, and often one OF
the chief causes of that prosperity. The value
of strong, honest immigrant labor, In struggle
between man and savage nature, on new CONT
nent like this, where there are such tempting in
ducements to trade and adventure, is beyond the
calculations of political economy. The princi-
pie that would exclude this laborious class OF
men, during the useful and active portion OF
their lives, from any participation III the exer-
else of political rights and the enjoyment Of po-
litical privileges, has always encountered the
steady and united opposition of the democratic
party"

WINE DRINKING IN AMERIcA.-Capt Nc Kin
non, an:.English gentleman, has recently writ
ten and published series of sketches of travels
in America, in which he makes the following
structures upon the hotel wines Della.
''I cannot imagine why, with such admirably
conducted and enormous hotels;with such conve-
nient common. sense arragements in all usual
affairs of life in America there should be one great
fault namely, the enormous price feeced from
travellers for very indifferent wine. Stuff which
in England, with her enormous duties, would
be dear at half a crown bottle, is charged in
the United States at from dollar anda half, (the
lowest price,) up to twelve dollars. And then
forsooth, the Yankees often boast of the price
and appear to think the extravagant cost feath-
er in their caps, something to be proud Of
something to elevate themselves and country.

&C. A caution to persons drinking at brooks
and springs
n,,.sLED BY LEEcH.-The Charlottesville (Va)
Jeffersonian says that man by the name OF Gar
net, residing in Greene county, having attended
a special election recently held in that county,
started for home, which was some distance off,
about dark On coming to branch, being very
thirsty, he dismounted and drank. He had not
gone far before he commenced feeling tickling
sensation in his stomach, and on his arrival at
home was quite unwell. Getting worse, ply
sician was called in, to whom he stated that he
was confident he had swallowed something while
drinking from the branch which produced his
sickness After trying several remedies pow
erfuI emetic was administered, when a live leech
was thrown up, which the unfortunate man had
evidently swallowed at the branch above men,
toned, it having remained olive in his stomach
for several days. Although relieved from the
Ieech, he died in day or two afterwards from
the INJURIES which it had inflicted.

A BROKEN HEART

Inc interesting case of literally broken heart
we subjoin, was related by DIR z. K. Mitchell
oi the Jefferson college, Philadelphia to his
class last winter while lecturing upon the disea
ses OF the heart. II will be seen, on perusing it,
the expression broken hearted" is not mere
y fgurative.-Memphis Appeal
I" In the early part of his career, DR.. NJ ac-
companied as a surgeon, packet that sailed be-
tween Liverpool and one of our Southern ports.
On the return voyage, soon after leaving Liver
pool, while the doctor and captain of the vessel
weather beaten son of Neptune but possessed
OF uncommon fine feelings and strong impulses
Were conversing in the latters state room, the
captain opened large chest, and carefully took
out large number of articles of various descrip.
tlons which he arranged upon a table. Dr. M
surprised at the display of costly Jewels, orna-
ments, dresses and all the varied paraphernaIia
OF which ladies are naturally fond, inquired of
the captain his object in having so many valua-
BILE purchases. The sailor in reply, said for sew
en- or eight years he had been devotedy attached
to young lady, to whom he had several times
made proposals of marriage, but often rejected;
that her refusals to we'd him, however, had only
hnally, upon renewing his offer, declaring in the
ardency of his passion that without her society,
life was not worth having, she consented to be-
come his bride upon his returning from the next
voyage. He was so overjoyed at the prospect OF
marriage, from which, in the warmth of his
feelings he probably anticipated more happiness
than is generally allotted to mortals, that he
spent all his ready money while in London for
bridal gifts. After gazing at them fondly for
some time, and remarking on them in turn, e
think this will please Annie, and 81 am sure
she will like that" he replaced them with the
utmost care. This creniony he repeated every
day during the voyage and the doctor often OBJ
served tear glistening in his eye, as he spoke
of The pleasure he would have in presenting
them to his affianced bride.
Or reaching his destination, the captain ar
rayed himself with more than usual precision,
and disembarked as soon as possible, to hasten
to his love- As he was about to step into the
carriage awaiting him, he was called aside by
two gentlemen who desired to make commu-
nication, the purport Of which was that the lady
had proved unlaithful to the trust reposed in here
and had married another with whom she had
decamped shortly before. Instantly the captain
was observed to clap his hand to his breast, and
fall heavily to the ground. He was taken up
and conveyed to his room the vessel. Dr.
NJ. was Immediately summoned; bat before he
reached the poor captain he was dead. A post
mortem examination revealed the cause of his
unfortunate disease. His heart was found liter
ally torn ia twain The tremendous propnl
sion of the blood consequent upon such ner-
vous shock, forced the powerful muscular tissues
asunder. and life was at an end. The heart was
broken.
