PAINFUL CAsUALTY.-A most affecting AMI
painful incident has just been related to us,
which occurred in our district few weeks ago.
A gentleman who was busy engaged in plant
ing out the common Jasmine vine, in his yard,
and after trimming away few of the roots,
threw them aside, where they were picked up by
two of his children, aged, Us we are informed,
about three and five years. The children were
playing with them for some time, and no doubt
chewcd and swallowed portions Of the root.
After short time the youngest returned to its
mother, and laying down near where she was
sitting, fell into slumber, as she supposed
After a while she called to wake her child, Tut
Intellectually. She stopped down to raise il ur,
but it was dead IT. Ter c.iiid was then
taken ILL and in the course OF few hours was
also in the lard of spirits. Thus in a brief
hours, deal. 3o.e off two lovely victims ron a
hr'. where all was gladness, ard left affection
ate Parcnts to mourn over a dspensation as sud
den as affecting.
We chronicle this fact for the information Of
others IL is not perhaps generally known, that
the common yellow Jasmine vine which is found
in such profusion through our district and
State, is an active and deadly poison.
We have frequently known serious results to
ensue from its being handled too carelessly by
children, and would caution parents against al.
lowing il to grow where their children will be
able to pluck its tempting flowers, which are
equally as poisonous as any other part of the
plant.-Sumpterrill Is. CO. Watchman

The Nicholson Letter.

The Southern (Mss) Standard has an article
on the subject of the Presidential canvass in
lS4S, from which we make the subjoined extract.
1t will be seen in what manner Gen. FooTE, by
authority of Gen. Glass; construed the NICHOLSON
letter. FooTE, it seems, repadiated the idea OF
"squatter sovereignty" he professedto do
so, on the authority Of letter from CAss then
in his possession, and on the ground of his per
sonal knowledge Of CAss' vie ys. II is true,
beyond all question, that the TAYLOR party in
Mississippi and in most of the Southern States
construed the NICHOLSON letter as Gen. CAss ha.
since done. And It is just as true that the CAss
party repudiated that construction in lS4S. IL
has for q long time been mystery how this
was done. The Standard throws light on the
subject. FooTE, the confidential friend Of CAss
il seems, had letter. and besides, he knew from
his personal associations with the old General
what was the true construction Of The NICHOLSON
letter and he denied the doctrine of "squatter
sovereignty" If Gen. CAss, by letter or other.
wise, authorized Gen. FooTE to give the con
struction which he did give to the Men
letter, then he practiced fraud upon the South.
If he wrote no such letter, nor gave such au.
thority, then Gen. FooTE has been guilty Of de.
cepton.
The two gentleman are bosom friends--be
tween them fraud-has been practiced on the
public, and they must explain, or stand convicted
Of conspiracy TO get votes under false pretences
Will one or both explain
From the Southern (Juiss.) Standard.
The Courier cannot escape the dilemma its
pertinacity has forced on itself Its editor dis
eussed with Gov. ii. s. Foote In this city, in
lS48, and il is we'll enough 10 say, that he in
sisted that Cass' Nicholson letter inculcated the
doctrine Of "squatter sovereignty" in the terrific
ries. Gov Foo,e, IL is known, denied that con.
s,ruction, and adopted that promulged by the
Cass party in Mississippi, and this he defended
here. lie went farther, and stated he had
letter with him then FROM Cass, and that he knew
Cass' construction Of the letter TO Nicholson.
that he had seen that letter in the manuscript.
and that he was familiar with Cass, and he knew
him 10 be sound on the slavery question. The
editor Of the Courier will not dare deny these
general statements, because he knows we can
substantiate them a by his own party friends
in this city. Now, Gov. Foote either did or did
not knov Gen. Cass' construction Of the Mich.
olson letter. IL he knep II, he in deliberate
manner attempted to deceive the people Of this
State. n he did not know IL, he deliberately
made false statements 10 gentlemen here and
elsewhere. The Courier may reconcile this
matter IL il can.
We understand that Col Davis did announce
the construction placed upon that letter by the
Taylor men Of this State as the true const;ue
ton, and we do know that he injured himself
with the Cass men by doing so. lie obtained
his information from Judge Mclean, as we sub
sequently learned, and not from Gen. Cass, a.
many suppose.

VOL. III

Cleopatra no richer silks and laces and jewelry,
than multtudes of the wealthy in this country.
And as for the luxuries of travelling, they We're
never enjoyed to anything like the degree to
which they are given annually to millions of our
people.
Ye all the concomitants of commerce, wealth,
and luxury abound with us as of yore. Popu.
lation is concentrating in cities; vice and crime,
poverty and want are multiplying with even
greater rapidity. Political and social centralsm
are advancing rapidly upon US in defiance of,
ay, rather in consequences of, our Fedcralve
Union and widely extended territory. Our lit
erary genius is not yet equal to that OF Athens
when she fell under the power OF the thirty
tyrants, nor of that Augustan age, when liberty
fell and letters rose in Rome.
Nor are we perhaps so remote from violent
changes as we uppose-certainly the causes
are not remote. The election Of President fol
the last twelve years has been decided by the
vote of single State-New York-and that by
small majority: majority so small as to be
easily reversed by riot, or fraud in the single
city of New York. And we have no provision
made for a contested Presidential election. Now,
in the present and advancing condition of poiti-
cal morals, who can say how long we are safe
when Presidential election controls four
years expenditure of two hundred millions, and
the final disposition of the public DOMAINE
With respect to our foreign relations, we are
evidently entering upon new era which it be
hoves us to understand. We are not opposed
to investigation, and we intend to keep an eye
on the movements in Europe, which will deeply
affect the destiny of the United States. If we
believed with Senator BELL, we would not adopt
his policy. 1t is impossible to admit his pre-
misses and his conclusion both. We must reject
one or the other, for we hold that if there be q
despotic combination against this country, then
we must do something more than stand on the
defensive. We should prepare ourselves to at
tack, if we do not go farther and intervene al
once. That his theory of league against us is
correct, we are not satisfied; but time will soon
furnish the facts. The debate in the Senate has
had the good effect of srousing and refrehsing
the public attention on a subject of paramount
importance.

A person writing from San Francisco 10 The
Newport Ne'os, gives the following incident;
"Two looking persons entered the
hotel this morning, just from the nines--a man
and his WIFE The male individual looked for
the world, like aylaborer, and the female
bore a close resemblance to an Irish scullion.
She wore coarse vulgar brogans, aud TO her
girdle was attached gold watch and chain
valued at least two hundred dollars The hus-
band left the hotel for half an hour, and re.
turned with receipt for one hundred and f fifteen
thousand dollars, the value Of the dust which he
bad just consigned for transportation to New
York. This sum has been gained BY digging

by her little son, aged sboutten years"

The Journal of Commerce, reviewing the con-
dition of political parties, and showing then. to
be divided into various factions, Freesoil, Adolf
ton, &C., says:
ut would be proud spectacle to see the
Southern States, after the severe contests from
which they have lately come, form together on
high basis, and show their disregard and con.
tempt Of old and worn out associations. The
exhibition of fierce party spirit among them
strikes the mind npleasanty,-much in the
way in which it is affected when widow, fresh
from her husbands grave, enters into u new
alliance. Much depends ON their firInness and
patriotism The men here who look to them
for strength and support in their political &C.
| ton, can scarcely stand alone. II the National
Wings and Democrats are to be handed over, as
were the friends of the Missouri compromise,
! to the political eXeeutioHers il thcsjeward and
1 Van Buren, factions, it determines the course OF
others in crisis like that through which the
country has passed"
The Express treating Of the Presidency and
Wing candidate, says
"We repeat that it i. our deliberate, sober
conviction, that if Gen. Scott be run blind,
the schemers in Washington now intend to have
him run,-Vermont will be the only electoral
vote he will have for the Presidency. We'do
not say this in spirit of tbreat-for we have
ourselves great confidence in the principles OF
General Scott, and have reason 10 know, that he,
himself, is friend of the compromise bills
but we cannot persuade our people, that running
him North, to repeal the fugitive slave law, ana
running him South against that repeal, will not
again bring into Congress just such conse'
quences as those of 1850, which for weeks
could not choose Speaker even,-and whose
sittngs at last became so alarming, as to leopard
the peace and the very existence OF the Union.
We may try to persuade them to the contrary,
but the effort will be all in vain, and we shall
all perish as politicians in the attempt.
To show our sincerity, we need only add,
that if the Northern States, as represented in the
| National convention, are permitted by any con-
siderable portion of our Southern countrymen
to go into convention and put up Gen. Scott,
without any declaration of principles on the fu.
| gitve slave provision of the Constitution, we
shall certainly go, as ut present advised, for
General Scott, with our section of the Union.
We repeat we shall never fight Southern bat.
ties upon Northern ground if the South is not
united on the field of action. General Scott
personally we have no objection to, and we can
support him without any sacrifice of principle
nay, even with confidence in him as man. But
the tail that will come on with him as the can
didate of unknown constitutional principle, is of
Just such men as surrounded, enveloped and
| Galphinized the administration of Gen. Taylor,
and they are such men as can never administer
the government of this country.
