Petitions have been presented in The Sen.

office Of Chaplain in all its forms and uses,
because4he continuance of religious excr.

This operation is extremely simple and practicable

in sufficient quantity of water, in which form
twenty-five to thirty drops of chloride of lime
have been added, to every two pounds of butter.
After having mixed it till all parts are in contact

in clear water. The chloride of lime having moth

our Candidate tor Governor

In reference 10 the nomination Of MIR.
Barrere, the Hilsborough News, published

son behalf Of the Wings OF Highland

Wing candidate for Governor at the coming

The many distinguished Wings who were
mentioned for that office, 10 say that better
selection could not have been made. Mr..
Barrere has established an enviable repula-
lion in Congress, as we'll as q. home. where
his grea, ability and capacity are so we'll
known and where his popularity is shown
by the fact that he was elected 10 Congress
in 1850, by majority Of 296 over his Dem

Clermonl and Brown) which at The same
election gave Gov. Wood round majority
Of FIVE hundred! In The re-dislricting of the

lacked on another county 10 the district
(Adums) with an average Democratic ma
iorily Of from to 500, for the express pur.
pose no doubt Of preventing his reelection;
but Notwithstanding this shabby device he
came within 27l votes Of beating his oppo.
nent. This district gave Gen. Pierce ma.

FORTY.THREE The Wings in the
State can Judge from this what sor. of can.

is no Democrat who will deny that he !:

firm conviction that our scattered forces car
be rallied and reunited and the State re-
deemed from political misrule. We cal

Make the mighty ages

Lead the soul away
From the paths of virtue,
Oft in sin to stray.

Make our earth an Eden,
Like the heaven above.
