the position whichwe, as democrats, should
assume in the approaching canvass. We
now proceed, at some length, with the del
icate but important task:
"Do you intend to support The nomi-
nees of the Baltimore, Convention, re-
gardless oftheir opinions OH the Compro
mise +! Would you support Gen. Cass

Statement of Thomas n. Kelly. in
relation 10 The several matters and things
hereinafter stated, to-wit: That III the
month of March in the year A. ID. lS45,
| assisted Thomas w. Bradley of the
aforesaid State and county, a, his resi-
dence, at that time near Agency City, to
clean up oats; that while so engaged a
certain James NJ. Kennedy of the same
State and county, came 10 Mr.. Bradley's
where | was at work; Kennedy said to
Bradley that he wanted fifteen bushels
of oats, ten bushtls for himself. and five
bushels for VIM. A. Nc all: Kennedy
then went to his sacks (Which he had
brought with him) and separated them,
throwing aside two which he stated Me-
Call had sent along for his five bushels;
ten bushels; the sacks were placed apar.
and separated by Kennedy: that Bradley
and myself were busy cleaning up, and
Kennedy went to measuring and did
measure up all Of his own ten bushels.
that in doing SO a mistake OF one-half
bushel was made by Kennedy, that is to
say, Kennedy stated one sack TO contain
two bushels and one half bushel: that as
to the measurement of the five bushels
for Mccall, Bradley measured Up The
oats. and Kennedy held open the sacks
to receive them: That after the two lots
aforesaid of said oats were measured up,
/ assisted Kennedy to pu, them upon his
wagon, whereupon he drove off, taking
the oats with him-ten bushels for him
self and FIVE bushels FOR said Mccall -
The facts above stated are distinctly and
clearly remembered by me. And fur
lher state not. Witness NJ. II. Lewis.

SIGNS In GEORGIA.

Nor many months ago, there was coalition
between Mcssrs. TooMBs and STEVENS Of Geor-
gia, one intention of which seemed to be TO put
out of Office their. very worthy and honorable
fellow citizen, Judge BERRIEN. BY combina-
ton Of parties, and the most consummate politl-
cal tactics, they succeeded in their attempt. We
thought at the time that both were ambitious OF
the Scnatorslip, but that Mr.. STEVENS would
succeed in getting it. Mr.. TooMBs however, as
usual, came the dcmagogue over him, i'll conse-
quencc of which there is at present an interesting
division in the politics Of that State.
In the last number of the Constitutionalist we
find an exceedingly entertaining account Of a
meeting held in Augusta. The question was, " to
Baltimore or not 10 Baltimore" Mr.. ANDREW
J. MILLER called the meeting, and was clearly
in favor of sailing for the Democratic Convention.
But Mr.. JENKINS was not ready for the trip, and
successfully opposed the motion of Mr.. MILLER,
lnsomnch that it was determined mot 10 20"
1t thus appears that Messrs. MILLER and JEN-
KtNs are clearly opposed to each other, 1--WE mean
politcally,l the former concurring with Mr..
TooMns and the latter with Mr. STEVENS.
We have had the pleasure of seeing Mr.. MIL.
LER repeatedly Of late, during several profess
slonal visits TO our town, and have been most
farorably impressed with his character and
ability. What VIC had previously heard of him
we found 10 be true, viz, that he ranked among

Melancholy Suicide.
CoSSELL y ROADS, Bossier Ph., La.

March oath, 1852.
Committed suicide on the 10th inst, in Bos<icr
Parish, Louisiana, Mrs. MARTHA \. a. MoRRIs,
consort of Mr.. Edward H. Morris, formerly Of
Edgefied District, s.. c., in the thirty first year
of her age.
Mrs. MORRIS was a native Of Edgcfcld Dis
trict, where she resided until the removal of her
husband to this Parish, in lS49 She was united
to the Baptist Denomination at the Rellobo,h
Church in lSA4-and by her consistent walk,
she evinccd until the day of her death, the sin
eerity of her Christian profession.
Mrs. Norris was an aticctionatc wife, devoted
mother and warm friend, endcaring herself to
all thrown in contact with her.
The atllicting hand of Providence has been
heavily laid upon her, in the loss Of three in
tcrcsting children, within the two past years,
and although never murmuring at the hand SO
heavily affecting, her forlitudc sunk, and for
months past she has suffered under all the hur-
rors of Alonomaniu. She has made several at
tempts upon her life within the last few months,
which were only rendered abortivc by the inccs-
SAINT vigilance Of her devoted husband, but at
last Guiding even this, she succeeded in shooting
herself with gun, casually left loaded in her
room.
Let us draw the veil of Charity over this
tragical act-remcmbering that lie, who in his
infinite wisdom, saw fit so sorcly to try one Of
his children, has reserved to Himself alone, the
power to judge her. A FRIEND.

WOMEN AND NEwspApERs.-The facetious
editor of the Boston Republican is warm in
praise of his lady subscribers. He says:
Women are the best subscribers in the
world to newspapers, magazines, etc. We
have been editor now going on for eight
years, and we have never yet lost a dollar by
female subscribers. They seem TO make it
a point of conscientious duty 10 pay the
preacher and the printcr-two classes of the
community that suffer more by bad pay, and
no pay at all, than all the rest put together.
Whenever We have woman's name on our
book, we know it just as good for two dol
lars and a-half us a picayune is for a ginger
cake" Moreover, he asserts that ladies read
the newspapers to which they subscribe moro
thoroughly than men, and concludes by de-
claring that he "would rather have dozen
ladies' upon his books than one man!r'
