The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1852-03-06

adelphla Ledger publishes the ''Constl.
fulton of the American Revolutionary
League" recently organized IN that
city, to promote and aid Democratic
movements throughout Europe. 1t is
designed to rive permanent form to the
agitation commenced by kinkei and
kossuth, and to create in this country
an institution for foreign intervention
somewhat after the model Of that pro-
jected for the State of Ohio. The va.
rious conflicting parties are for the time
to pass over sectional dlat rences. and to
unite "ior the destruction of the com.
mon for:" and when that event shall b.
accomplished, ;'the allied victors may
contend for the spoils" Military com
panies are to be formed in every city
and county of the Union; auxiliary as
sociations are to raise weekly contrlbu
tons to fund to sustain the threatened
struggle "for the humiliation of opprrs-
sion;" a congress of the representatives
of associations is to have control of az
fairs, and to elect political commit
tee of three persons with full power "to
act in concert with other nationalities."
Such an organization appears to be at
utter variance with the duties OF citl.
zens of the United States, and their re-
lationslip to the laws; and, if persisted
in, cannot fail to prove prolific source
of domestic difficulty, and possibly, of
trouble with other countries.
GOLD IN AUsTRIA.-A report will
soon b" presented to the Imperial Geo
logical Society of Vienna, relative to the
production of gold in Austria. Austria
produces the most gold of any European
State. 1t amounts yearly to 1900 marks,
which promises SUN OF COB, 900 ducats.
Much of this is obtained by the Gipseys,
by sand washing in Hungary and Sic
benburgen. There are two ways in
which the gold is found-one i. in the
deposits of sand and soil; the other IN
the strata of ore. The latter is the most
common method of finding it in Hun
gary and Siebenburgen. A famous
place for finding 1t in Hungary, is near
w eisskirchen, where by the Convent Of
Slatiska, piece of gold was found,
weighing Of mark, and worth 60
ducats, The Gipseys are very clumsy
in gold-getting.
A New LocoFoco MovE.-The tele-
graphic Washington letter to the New
York Herald of Friday last says: ut is
stated on good authority that Senator
Douglass has consented to throw his
strength into the Buchanan interest.
The morale Of the move being, that if
Gen. Cass were to get the nomination,
it would in any event prevent the north
west from receiving it IN 1856, whereas,
by going for Mr.. Buchanan, Mr.. Doug
lass stands we'll for the next election.
At all events you may rely that the
move has been agreed upon.'

he we'll remembers the time when salt

pounds was considered load for a

weeks to make the trip.
Clothe not thy language either with
obscurity or alfvctation: in the one thou
discovercst too much darkness, in the
other too much lightncss. He that
speaks from the understanding to the
understanding is the best interpreter.
Wealth, honor. and favor, may come
upon man by chance; nay! they may
be cast upon him without so much as
looking after them; but virtue is the
work Of industry and labor; and certain
ly it is worth the while to purchase
that good which brings all others along
with it.
In thy discourse, take heed what thou
speakest, to whom thou speakest. What
thou speakest, speak truly; and when
thou speakest, speak wisely. A fools
heart is in his tongue; but wise mans
tongue is in his heart.
Never attempt to do anything that is
not right. Just so sure as you do, you
will get into trouble. Sin always brings
sorrow sooner or later. If you even
suspect that anything is wicked, do it
not until you are sure your suspicious
are groundless.
Weigh thyself in thy own balances,
