CAurIoS.-A rery slight declivity sufices
to give the running motion to water. Three
inches per mile, in smooth. straight channel,
gives velocity of about three miles an hour.
Now, what is true of water is equally true Of
morals. The best of men only need slight
push from adversely to obtain a down.hill
momentum that will land them in the pcni.
Tertiary. Be careful, therefore, how you
lose your equilibrium.

CROSSING OF THE CAEs.-From yesterday
afternoon, says the Augusta Constitutional
list Of Saturday, dates new era for our CITY.
The Savannah river no longer divides the
city OF Augusta from the seaboard. With
iron link, she has now free and easy access
with the world "and the rest of mankind,"
The cars from Charleston drawn by the iron
horse, appropriately named "The Mayor Of
Augusta" safely reached the depot on this
side of the river, freightcd with a portion of
the beauty and worth of our sister CITY. At
the crossing, they were welcomed by n large
concoursc Of our citizens, and it was with
pleasure VIC state that no accident occurred
to mar the joyous occasion.

misunderstanding to the leading
Democratic prints there is nothing but the
most perfect harmony and satisfaction with
every net Of the new President yet the truth
will occasionally leak out, notwithstanding the
studied efforts of the stipendiary press to keep
the facts from the public. The following
from letter writer, democrat, to the Char.
lesion Courier, among the most reliable Of
newspapers, we suspect tells the truth about
the sort of satisfaction displayed at the most
prominent of President Pierce's appointments.
He writes from Baltimore, under date Of the
9th instant, and says:
The political caudron has been boiling
over in this city during the past week in re-
,ation to the Executive appointmcnts-the
appointed and the disappointed being at dag.
gers point. General Pierce in his Inaugural
address declared that the will of"the Masses
in regard to appointments to Office shouIa
override private preferences, or Inc cohtroi,
ling power of political cliques; but in regard
to Baltimore, MS well rs the appointments for
New York, Philadelphia and Boston, the Will
of "the masses" have been so flagrantIy dis
regarded, that he is denounced without
measure or stint. Almost ninety.nine out OF
n hundred of the voters of Baltimore desired
that the Collectorship should be given to-
Colonel Jacob &. Davies, formerly Mayor OF
the city The President was waited upon by
n committee, consisting of the Governor OF
the State, the Mayor of the city, and the
Presidents of both branches Of the City
Council, with delegation from the Board Of
Trade, and assured that Col. Davies was the
almost universal choice of the people; but
private Friendship has overslauglled the will
of "the masses" Ex-Governor Thomas, who
is relative of Mrs. Pierce, has been appoint
ed to the office, Notwithstanding all the in
fluencc that could be brought to bear against
the selection.
John Kcttlewell, who could not have OBJ
tanned five hundred out Of the twenty thou
sand votes of the city for Naval Agent, has
received that appointment, with salary ct
$4,000 per annum. The appointment of the
Surveyor of the Port has been given to Col.
James Polk, notwithstanding his universal
unpopularty, and in short, every office has
been awarded to the members OF small
clique, ut the head of which is Ex-Governor
Thomas, in total disregard of the expressed
will of the masses of the Democracy. The
Collectorship Of Philadelphia has been award
cd to Charles Brown, personal friend OF the
President, whilst he has also brought per.
sonal friend from New Hampshire to take
the post of Collector of the port of Boston.
If the pledges of the inaugural address arc as
thoroughly disregarded in all other matters
as they have thus far been in the matter OF
appointments, it will prove n strong card to
the Wings in the next Presidential campaign,
as proof of the uniaithfulness of the Demo-
cracy to their published promises and pledges.

CaYp1parEs.-I.ast Monday was famous
Time for candidates at Athens-lots Of them
i, attendance, fine, noble-hearted fellows
willing and anxious to do "thc State some
service" and sacrifice themselves upon the
sltars of patriotism. Several speeches were
made at the Courthouse, and listened to
with great attention by the crowd. AS his
connection was not present, COL Smith, the
democratic candidate for Congrcss,did not en-
fer into discussion ofprinciples, but merely
announced himself, and said he was "golng
to be elected" about which We will see after
awhile. The Col. was no doubt in earnest,
md meant what he said, but then the pco-
plo may determine it otherwise. Col. Smith
was followed by Maj. Ballew, candidate for
State Senate. Then came Maj. Stewart, OF
Mriys, candidate for the same place. After
these two gentlemen had favored the audi.
onco with a taste of their talent, Maj. NJ.
Cunningham, candidate for Representatives
arose, laid off his blanket, and opened his
mouth and spoke. The Major is great on
the stump-it is true he was little rambling
and discursive in his remarks on Monday
but then his style of delivery is entirely orig
inal, and his gestures forcible and picturesque
He certainly made the speech on Monday
After the Major concluded his remarks,

Is 1T CUBA! OR is IT. THE SANDWICH
ISLANDSf

ISLANDS!
The National Inteligencer intimates, and
the sagacious Washington correspondent OF
the N. Y. Times more than hints, that the
passages in President Pierce's Inaugural
which were at first supposed to apply to
Cuba, do really apply to the Sandwich Is.
lands. Why not rs well to Hayti, as to
either! For our part, we doubt if they had
any special application. 1t was necessary that
the new President should appear to be ex'
pansive and progressive in his Address, to
keep in favor with the Fillibusters: it was
equally necessary that he should deprecate
any course of action which would not stand
the test of examination by civilized nations
generally, in order not to give alarm to the
conservative or bunker section Of his party.
He found it easy to do both, by dealing in
gcneralities, and he did do both-and that's
just about the whole Of the matter. But here
is part of what the Times correspondent
says upon the subject
"What if, at the next meeting Of Congress
that is, in December-it should come to
light in the form of Treaty Of Annexation
like that of Texas, that the earliest measure
which Mr.. Pierce has taken, was, to send out
secret agents to the Sandwich Islands, in or
der to reopen that which we have once re-
jected-a negotiation for their transferring
the sovereignty of the group to uae You
will perceive, If you re.examine the Inaugural,
that there is nothing in it which is not re-
conclable with this theory. To such CON-
pact, European policies will have strong oh.
jections; but they can oppose to it no sub.
stantive claim, that will warrant hostility;
none, ut least, but the French, who alone set
up some title, bad enough it ia true, but quite
us sound as Mr.. Folks TO all Oregon; quite
good enough, at any rate, for n nation like
the Gallic-as Democratic and outrageous
rs ourselves-to 60 to war about. It would,
however, be decidedly funny if Europe, in
this case, siding with Louis Napoleon, should
meet us with Monroe Doctrine Of its own,
and insist that if they have no right to come
upon this continent, then zoe, on the converse,
have no right to 60 out oft"
Tom CoRwN.-The Louisville Courier, in
noticing the many calumnies heaped upon
this gentleman by inscriptions letter writer's
and newspaper editors, remarks:

sions to which we refer. Behind the Union,
we are aware, in this case stands Senatorial
Investigating Committee; but behind that
committee rests an inevitable Justice, which
will consign it TO depth Of political infamy
lower even than that to which the Washing
ton Union has consigned itself.

what We now say, and the damning falsehocd

their general scope, but wrong in their spe-
