Op1err OF THE TERM DoUGHFACE.-
At an anti-Nebraska meeting held IN
Delhi, New York, says the Gazette o.
that place, Judge Hathaway, was one OF
the speakers, mentioned an anecdote
showing the origin Of the term dough
face, so commonly applied to the northern
men with southern principle. When
young man, he was presented at an m
terview between General Root and one
DR.. Clark, at that time representing
Delaware and Green counties IN Con-
|gress. DR.. Clark was a supporter Of
the Missouri Compromise and advocate g
and voted for the admission OF Missouri
Into the Union under that compromise
In the conversation with General Root
he was relating some, incidents which
trans PRED during the debate upon the
| bill. DR.. Clark stateds that he address
sed the House in favor Of the passage Of
the Hand, said he, s'all the time ! was
speaking, John Randolph, Of Vorginia
sat and sneeringly pointed his long bony
finger at me, and made up faces at me
land Just as sat down, he screamed out
in his shrill squsaking voice: dough
face, doughtace,'" Judge Hathaway re-
marked, that this DR.. Clark actually
seemed proud Of the appellation.

Speech of Mr.. Hunt on the Nebraska
bM.-We are glad to observe that the
speech of our Representative in Con-
gress, Hon. T. G. Hunt, in opposition
to the Nebraska bill, is receiving enco-
miums in every quarter. The Louisual'e
(Ky.) Journal, which publishes the
speech entire, says of it
at is truly noble produc ton, and
richly deserves all the encomiums it has
received. 1t is equally admirable for its
scrupulous and lofty tone, and for its
chaste yet stirring and fervid eloquence.
It's influences. upon southern sentiment
cannot fail to be extensive and salutary.
There can be no doubt, I'VE think, that the
Nebraska bill is doomed. A few more
such manly and high-souled efforts from
the South as this Of the eloquent and
chivalrous Hunt will render its reports
in the tomb of the Capulets' as swee.
and eternal as the sleep of Juliet

The Sinking of the Ericsson. The
most serious accident was the sinking
of The Ericsson, which, with a number
of ladies and gentlemen on board, was
just returning from her trial trip. She
was off Jersey City, opposite pier No. 8
North river, when she was struck on
the larboard beam by the squall, which
heeled her over to her star board, so that
the water rushed in the lower port holes,
land when the ship righted, she had re-
|ceived so much that it came above them
on an even keel, and she gradually filled
and sunk. Fortunately she was on the
Jersey Flats at the time, where the wa
ter is not deep, SO that she will be rails
with much difficulty. The accident
might have been prevented by a little
presence of mind.
The Ericsson, which was h...,t .,,,
years ago, has for yea 49,. 49, ~
.,s1e,s -p,ete system of improve
ner machinery. which it was
/ sad, would show the advantages Of al,
propulsion over steam in manner most
triumphant. Yesterday was the day O.
private trial. She was most successful
in her voyage down the river, and all OF
board were congratulating themselves
on their return, when the storm struck
her sides, and proved too much for he
