of The duties of his office. The Washington

The Women of the South.

movement is on foot among the women
of the South, to purchase, by subscription,
among themselves, the Mt. Vernon estate, and
present it to the nation: The object is wor-
thy one and every patriotic heart must wish
the matrons aud daughters of the sunny South
abundant success in their prd1sewSrthy effort.
A society of ladies has been formed in Geor-
gIa, entitled the Savannah Mt Vernon Asso-
citation, for the object specified. They have
made an appeal to the women Of Georgia.
We copy portion of the appeal, which is a
beautiful and feeling production, for the con-
sderation Of our mothers and daughters of the
North -
:" Do not think, in the most retired nook of
our green and sunny land, where only two or
three can meet, that you are too few TO aid
Let all unite every two, every three, every
five dollars will assist. Thus let each and all
aid in swelling that stream that shall roll on
ward to freshen and make green the turf where
his ashes repose, and beautify and embellish
the walks and grounds around his death home,
his earth-bed Let us canopy it with ever
green's and drape it with flowers of brightest
hues and sweetest. fragrance, to show that
glory is not all dream. Yes, let us pur-
chase, hallow and cherish forever, for our
country and our children, Mount Vernon,

our country"

Poor Ireland.

A foreign correspondent of the Boston Post,
draws the following sad picture Of Ireland. To
the light, we may well say darkness Of such
facts, British philanthrophy better develop il
self at home, and let the niggers of the South
alone:

wretches who daily land on your shores preach

COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE. The Nebras-
ka bill has been referred to the Committee of
the Whole. What is the Committee Of the
Whole! 1t is, says Washington correspon-
dent, the whole assembly, and requires the
same number as for a quorum. Its chairman.
is any member for the time being whom the
speaker names when he vacates the chair. It
sanctions great freedom of debate and the
previous question, which is designed to stop
debate, cannot be moved in committee Of the
whole. To avoid improper discussion, it is
necessary to move that the committee rise.
Each member can speak on question as often
as he can get the floor, while in the assembly
proper the general rule forbids his speaking
more than once. These are some of the feat
ures of the committee of the whole, and it
would seem that the only explanation which
could be given for debate therein, on matters
foreign to the subject under consideration, is
that it admits of an underlined liberty of speech

In 1916, for the first and only time since
the memory 'of the Oldest inhabitant,' the
democratic party was in minority in New
Hampshire on the popular vote. The wing
and freesoil vote exceeded that Of the demo-
Gratis Wing paper.
The above is a fair specimen OF the decep-
ton practsed TO show democratic defeat in
the recent election. What are the facts.
In 1851, the democratic candidate for gov
ernor in New Hampshire, fell 1895 votes
short Of an election.
In 1852, he was elected by majority of
only llOl votes, and the Legislature stood, on
joint ballot, 1853 democrats to 1876 wings, free
soilers, &c.
Now, 1854, the democratic candidate for
governor is elected by majority of near 1000
votes, and handsome democratic majority is
sure in both branches of the legislature. And
that after most furious attack by the wings,
freesoilers, and all the isms of the day, to
break down the Democracy of New Hamp-
shire The result is nell enough!

Spain and the United States.

The prompt and decided action, says the
Boston Post, of the President in relation to the
Spanish outrage upon the rights Of our com
merce, as evinced in his acknowledgement mes
sage to congress, in his effective measures to
bring the controversy at once before the gov
eminent Of Spain, and in his determination TO
insist not only upon speedy decision in the
present case, but security against future ag-
erosion, will excite the cordial appreciation of
every patriotic citizen.
England and France may intrigue, buster,
threaten, as much as they please-all their
ombinations-their entente cordide &c., &c.,
will not deter this government from pursu-
ing the course which Justice, Honor and the
Security Of our National Rights, point out.
In relation to the instructions given the
special messenger sent from this government 10
Spain for the purpose Of demanding reparalion,
the Washington Union says
The Arctic, which departs from New York
to-day for Liverpool, will convey a special
messenger from this government with iGstruc-
emphatic terms, immediate and ample repara-
tion from Spain for the outrage committed by
the authorities at Cuba in the instance Of the
Black Warrior. We shall impaiiently await,
in cOmmon with every American citizen, the
answer which will be given by the Spanish
ministry to this demand. If it be favorable
and prompt, and if Spain shall consent, within
a reasonable time, TO orr opening diplomatic
relations with the captain-general Of Cuba, for
the adjustment Of any questions which may
hereafter arise in our intercourse with thai
island, then there will be no disposition on The
part of the United States to disturb The peace
which exists between the two nations. But il
any hesitation is manifested by the cabinet d
Madrid to disavow the outrageous procedure
against our flag and the property Of our clt
Zens, and if the contingencies be not removed
by which similar occurrences may be Occa
stoned, we shall advocate the employment o
all the power which the government can com
mand in support Of our rights and interests il

Farming in California.

The California Farmer, speaking of large
farms, says that Messrs J. Horner and Beard
have around their farm more than eighty miles
of wire fence, some parts of it with iron posts !;
the value Of the fence alone is over one hum
dred thousand dollars Mr.. Horner has In
cultivation 1900 acres of wheat, $50 acres of
oats, 200 acres of barley, 600 acres of pota-
toes, besides acres upon acres Of cabbage and
root crops. Mr.. B. will plant this season,
10000 fruit trees, and many thousand vines.
G. /. Hutchinson has 400 acres of as good
land as we should care about owning, en-
closed /; and has put in this year already six
hundred acres of wheat, and six hundred acres
in barley. With the same teams, he has also
put in for neighbor three hundred acres of
wheat and barley, about equally divided.

The Difficulty Settled.

We are glad to learn that the difficulty be-
tween Messrs. Cutting and Breckenridge in
the House Of Representatives at Washington,
has been settled, and that duel has been pre-
vented. Both gentlemen are too high in char
acter and talent to be caught in such business ;;
PLANTATION and apology to the House. On Fri
day, in the House, Mr.. Preston said g
tits vet, he said, in the memory of the house
that the debate which recently occurred be-
tween Mr. Cutting, of New York, and Brock
enridge, Of KY, was marked by personalities
The character of the debate led to some dis
cussion Of its features outside of the walls of
this house. So far as Mr.. Cutting is con-
cerned, he referred the matter in controversy
to his friends Col. Monroe, of New York, and
Gen. Shields, U. S. senator from Illinois,
So far as Mr.. Breckenridge is concerned, he
referred the matter to Col. Hawkins, of Ky.,
and myself. | am authorized by these gentle
men TO state that the matter in controversy
has been settled in manner mutually satisfac-
tory, and we conceive mutually honorable to
both gentlemen who were engaged in that de-
bate. have another duty to perform in be-
half Of these gentlemen, and that is, as they
have violated in debate, the rules of order es-
tablished for the government of the house,
they express mutual regret, that any such oc-
currence has taken place, and ask its indul-
gence, as a body, for its occurrence 1t is
source of qualification for these gentlemen,
who make strong promise Of future usefulness
to the country, and who are already admired
by large circle of friends, that this matter
has been adjusted in a manner, l am entirely
convinced, satisfactory to all their friends /
thank the house for their attention.

the condition Of things cannot exist that as
the incapacity Of the government to administer

tons are imposed, and that nothing but the
degradation and imbecility of the Creole pop

yoke. The bishop said he had thought that
they were harmless, satisfied race, repudia-
