From the Mississippian.
Democrats Prepare for Action

The day Of eleclion-in our country the
peoples days fast approaching 1t will be
the lirst general election since the proud tri-
umph Of %. which placed Franklin Pierce.
Davis. Marcy. and other faithful Democrats,
at the head Of the Government, and will be
the welcome opportunity when the people
of Mississippi may record their sanction Of the
acts Of the Administration, and defend it from
the ISLANDERS Of the Wings, and their allies
the corrupt faction which has joined them III
this State.
From all quarters Of the State, save where
the pcstilence has spread pail and gloom, We
hear the notes Of preparation. Are our
friends organized aud ready, and are they
meeting and countaracting the insidious efforts
Of the Wings the agents Of the fundmongers,
and the factonists who arc playing into their
hands If not, not day should be lost, but
the effort should be jealous and unremittirg
for the coming three weeks. al should he
actuated by the same noble impulses which
have borne US TO past victories, and stimua-
ted in this contest by a spirit Of emulation
which will do honor to the past
The Democracy Of the entire State, save
such as are determined to 90 over to the
Wings on the pretext Of past issue, repose
the fullest confidence in the nominees upon
our State tickct-McRae, Glenn, Barksdale,
Muse, McAfee and IIussey-and when the
confidence Of the Democracy is once secured,
what party or faction can resist il! Our
district candidates for Congress, too, enjoy
and are daily winning the undivided confidence
Of the Democracy. Wright, Barry, Single
ton and Harris where could four more able,
eloquent and effective standard-oearers be
found With ihese, and Barksdale for the
State at large, We may boast Of delegation
in Congress, not to be equalled by the same
number from any State in the Union.
Democrats Of Mississippi anti-bondcrs Of
II and 43-and all who would rescue the
State from untol millions Of fraudulent debt,
and grinding taxation for the benefit Of swind-
ling Jew fundmOngers and sharpers-let US
urge upon you the importance Of vigilance
and activity for the remainder Of the canvass,
and on the 7th and Sth Of November. The
anxious eyes Of the Democracy Of the Union
are upon you, and the Chief Magistrate Of
your choice expects an evidence Of your ap-
provaI, by the return Of his true and sincere
friends to the national councils If every
Democrat will DO his duty, we shall achieve
signal triumph over all the isms and fac
tions that surround and beset US; and will
we, then, by supineness or lack Of energy,
lose so great boon We think not; but
that on the contrary, we can promise, from
the indomitable material that the Democracy
Of Mississippi is composed Of, victory that
will honor the past, and cheer us for the tu-
ture. Again We say-Democrats prepare
for action!

The Koszta Affair.

Koszia, the Hungarian refugee, who, after
declaring his intention Of becoming q citizen
Of this country, returned to Turkey, where
the Austrian officials seized. and where the
agents Of this country intcrfered in his behalf,
has been the cause Of some powerful diplo-
matte letter writing, which We find in our cx-
changes.
Hulscman, the Austrian Minister at Wash
ington, takes the ground in his letter that
Koszia had been seized BY virtue Of treaties
existing between Austria and Turkey, and
that no satisfactory evidence had been produ-
ced Of Kosztas being an American subject.
lie claims Koszta as an Austrian subject, and
demands Of the United States that she punish
her agents for the manner in which they in
terfercd in the affair.
In reply, Mr.. Marcy maintains the right Of
the subject Of any nation to exTatriatc himself,
and declares that Koszta was seized without
justification on the part of Austria, and his
seizure was unlawful. lie denies the exist
encc of a treaty between Austria and Turkey
by which be could be lawfully seized, aud
proceeds to show that Koszta has a national
character as an American by virtue Of domi-
sill. and sworn allegiance to the United States,
and also by virtue Of a letter Of protection
granted by the American Consul at COnstan-
tinople. lie accordingly justified Captain
Ingraham's conduct; and concludes by de-
clining to comply with Hulscman's demands
expressing the expectation that the Emperor
Of Austria will take measures to restore
Koszta to the same condition that he was in
when seized.

and perfect portraits Of individuals, have been
drawn by sunlight upon smooth blocks Of
lockwood, such as arc ordinarily used by wood
engravcrs. This discovery will be Of inyalua-
bic service to the latter art as it will save the
expense Of employing draughtsmcu to mark
tic blocks previous to engraving. Drafts Of
complicated machinery in perspective, and
other difficult sketches which required much
time, expense and skill in the preparation o.
blocks for engraving, can now be produced IN

PRrDE AND HUMILITY never yet,
says Fetham, found pride in noble nature,
or humility ia an unworthy mind. OF all
trees | observe that God has chosen the vine
"a low plant that creeps upon the helpful
wall Of all beasts, the soft aud patient lamb !;
Of All birds, the mild and guileless dove
When God appeared to Moses, it was not in
the tall and lofty cedar, nor the Spreading
palm, but bush-a humble, slender, abject
bush: as if lie would by these selections
check the conceited arrogance ofman. Moth
ing produces love like humanity; nothing
hate, Ike pride"

The Farmers Daughter.


She may not IN the may dance
With iewelled maidens vie;
She may not smile on courtly swain
With soft. bewitching eye;
She cannot boast o. form and mien
That lavish wealth has bought her;
But ali She has much lairer charms

The rose and Ills on her check
Together love 10 dwell
Her laughing blue eyes wreathe around
The heart 4 witehing spell
Her smile is bright as morning glow
Upon the dewy plain;
And listening TO her voice we dream
That spring has come again.
The iimid fawn is not more Wild,
Nor yet more gay and free
The lily's cup is not more pure
In aR its purity:
OF an the wild flowers in the woods,
Or by the crystal water,
There's none more pure orlair than she,
The farmers peerless daughter.
The naughty belle whom all adore,
On 6owny pillow lies,
While forth upon the dewy lawn
The merry maiden hics;
And with the lark's uprising song,
Her own sweet voice is heard
Ye may not tell which sweetest sings,
The maiden or the bird
Then tell me not Of iewelled iair!-
The brightest Jewel yet
Is the true heart where virtue dwells
And innocence il set
The glow Of health upon her cheek,
The grace no rule hath taught her,
The iairest wreath that beauty twines
Is for the farmers daughter

IMMORTALITY OF Man. Why is it that the

leave us to muse on their faded loyeliness !?
Why is it that tho stars, which hold their fes-
tival around their midnight throne, are set

er mocking US with unapproachable glory !
And why is it that bright forms Of human beau

to flow back in Alpine torrents upon our
hearts We are born for higher destiny
than that Of earth There is a realm where
the rainbow never fades. where the stars will

To PRESERVE THE TEErn, Abstain fro II
very hot or very coll drinks. and from biting
hard substances, such rs nuts. which might

are injurious. The teeth ought to lc clcanscd

around them soon bacomcs putril, aud causes

LAWS OF HEALTu-In the regimen that
prizc-fehters subject themselves to, we may
ind the secret Of acquiring the greatest
strength and power Of endurance. It IS to be
strictly temperate in all things; 10 avoid the
use Of debllitatiug stimulants to rise carly
to battle often, and observe the most perfect
system of cleanliness; to take much exercise
in tile open air; and abstain from all yieioui
induleences. TO this we may add the simple
rule Of a celebrated physician keep shc
feet warm, lhchcad cool, and the bowels open
