many of the Wing leaders and newspaper writers,
who, prcsuning to usurp prcrogatve which is not
accorded to man, slow IN attributing
tves of an unworthy character to those who choose
to exercise the freedom of action and opinion to
which, as free men and responsible agents, they are

OUR NOMINEE.


We assure our friends throughout the State that
the nominee of our Convention is entirely epta
BILE the Democratic party of this section and that
his party will rally its full strength for him. Many
are highly pleased, and all satisfied and it is
universally admitted that the convention could not
have made better selection. He is an Eastern
man, but the democratic party is not sectional, and
all that it requires is good man and true demo-
crat, and such they recognize Thomas BRACE
and will use every honorable endeavor to secure his
election.
A man of talent and sterling abty-a man who
acts from consciousness of rectitude-a man who
scorns and condemns the petty trickery Of politic
ans by trade, he will bear our standard proudly
: and add new splendor to it in the triumph that
awaits us. Stern and infiexible in what he con-
ceives 20 be the right; eloquent in debate; bland
and courteous in his intercourse with his feow-cit
zens, and in the prime and vigor of manhood, he
will indeed prove tower ofFstrength to his party
and terror to his opponents
The victory is ours but let us work for brilliant
one. Let us have 900 majority

Four YEARS OF FRAUD rs. ONE OF INTEGRIrr-
Under the Whig administration (says the Washing
ington Union) which came into power in 1S49, and
gave way to it's successors in 1863 series of mon
ster frauds we're consumInatcd involving an expe,-
diture Of vast sums of the peoples money, and i'm
plicating some of the most distinguished wings in
the country. Under the administration of General
Pierce which has been in power little more than
year, we have had frauds punished extravaganza of
the worst description arrested, and economy enforc-
ed i'll the various departments Of the government!
How do the reckless calunnators of the democratic
party attempt to answer the orcible and admonitory
contrast? By haing Mir. Fillmore and his counsel
Tors, and those who survive of the Taylor dynasty
many examples of political purity and integri-
ty, and by assaiiing General Pierce and his cabinet
as corrupt and extravagant! The historian, when he
comes to write of the last five years, will be appall-
ed at the compiacent audacity with which the truth
has been sacrificed by an cnscrupulous party.
Rev. Mr.. RErsoLDsos. The Richmond Dispatch
says: " 1t is we'll known in this city that the Rev.
Mr.. Reynodson, of the Baptist Church, was one of
the passengers who embarked On board the steamer
City of Glasgow. The friends Of this gentleman
here have all along felt painful deg"ee Of anxiety
with regard to his fate, and have continually scann-
ed the columns of the daily journals in the hopo to
find some announcement of the vessels safety. The
hope is now an exceedingly forlorn one. The Reli-
gious Herald, of yesterday, says, We have too
much reason to fear that we shall see our beloved
brother Reynoldson again, until that day when the

new and elegant Omnbus-the finest vehicle ever
brought to this place. The painting on it is really
beautiful. We trust the enterprisng proprietor will
be compensated for the spirited manner in which he
conducts his business.

nine years old, who is now at a boarding

of those who knew too much to stay at
home: f
"My Dear Father--I was very glad to
hear from you. and hear you was well; but
I was not bit glad to hear that mother had
baby, because it was boy. l should be
very glad ifit were little girl, but l hate
boys worse than ever. Now am going to
tell you what you ought to name him. l
am going to choose a homely name. be-
cause don't think boys ought to have
pretty names. Boys are squealing all the
time. You don't have one minutes peace
while there is boy baby in the house; but
when you have baby sister in the house,
you never hear it cry. Name him Peter;
that is good enough for boy. You must
excuse me for writing so much about boys
the reason write SO much about boys is
because don't like them"

My laundress tries to persuade me into the
barbarous custom. Tony mind a woman
should always look as soft to the touch as
the flower and as pure. All her garments
should be made of the finest and softest
material possible, material that will easily
dispose itself into folds, falling gracefully
around her, and not, by being liable to be
rufled every moment compel herto wear
stiffattitude and starched demeanor, de-
nying her luxury of lounge and roll; why
my very words would grow prim and pre-
else, were to wear dress which depend

ENcE.-The silveringof mirrors is perform
ed in the following manner: A sheet OF
tin foil, the size of the proposed mirror, is
laid on Sat table, and rubbed over with q
little mercury, until the latter to a certain
degree amalgamates with the tin. A large
quantity of mercury is then poured over It,
the workmen having certainindications in
forming them whether the sheet is in a
properly prepared state or moi. When all
is right, the edge of sheet of paper or
cloths laid upon the edge of the mercury,
and the glass is then slid gently along,
pushing part of the quicksilver before It,
and resting upon the remainder. When
the plate is fairly laid CT, the surface is en-
tirely covered by heavy weights, for the
purpose ofexpellingall the mercury except
thatwhich has combined with the tin foil,
and in this state il is allowed to remain, the
table having slight inclination, until the
mercury has drained of. In the case OF
large plates. this sometimes along time;and
even after the glass has been lifted and SET
on edge, small quantities continue to ooze
out When the plate is lifted, the tin fol
adheres to the back, and the mirror is form.
