ELECTIONS CoMlNG.-The political camps
all over the country are beginning to en-
hibit the hustle of preparation for the ap-
preaching contests. Elections are to be
held in twenty-five States within period OF
about three months. A majority of the
members of the next House of Representa-
tives arc to be chosen, and Massachusetts,,
Vermont, New York, Pennsylvania, North
Carolina, Florida, Louisiana, Arkansas, In
diana, Illinois, Missouri, Iowa and Califor-
MIA, Legislatures are to be elected which will
choose one Senator each, except that OF
North Carolina, which will elect two. The
Administration of President Pierce is about
to be subjected to its most trying ordeal
an ordeal which will determine whether
the latter half of its history shall be an en-
pertinent of power and distinction, or
weakness and dishonor. Ii is the scverest
political ordeal that any earthly power is
ever made to undergo and Franklin Pierce
NAV well take concern to himself that he
gets good dilverauce. No person ever
went into the Presidential chair with pre-
stige of such popular favor If II proves
that public confidence has been withdrawn
from him, the reproach will be so much
the more deep and humiliating.-Cour II

DELLA WEBSTER AGAIN.-Dclia Webster,
the female Aboliionist, who has been scye-
raj times arraigncd in Kentucky on Il
charge of aiding the escape Of slaves, (,he
was once sent to the penitentiary, and after
remaining there some time was pardoned
ont by Gov. Crttenden) was again arrest
ed last week on an old indictment. The
warrant found her $50 re,Y sick that she
could not b. removed" from her lodgings,
and guard Of three men was selected 10
remain, tend and watch her. One of the
papers says the guard "slopt at their posts,
or were careless, or were seduced, at
any rate Miss Webster escaped, on some
secret branch of the underground railroad
leaving the guard to watch an empty
house. 1t is said a party of men from the
other side of the State line, in Indiana,
were her rescuers-they having suddenly
crossed over into Kentucky for the purpose,
and escaped the vigilance Of the guard
She appears to have very suddenly recov-
cred her health.

GAS NOT UNHEALTHy,-An opinion is
widely prevalent that gas is untitled for the

the heat and noxous gases it involves
nothing can be moro erroneous. The heat,
it is true, is in proportion to the light given
of, and if, as has been found 10 be the
case, four-inch pipe will supply as many
burners sufficient to outve the blaze of 1000

of caloric and carbonic acid given off will
be found to be in each case pretty near
identical. The Areand, or shadowless gas
burner, II ancrcled with a pale blue glass,
yields perfectly homogeneous white light,
as pure almost as that of day, enabling ar
lists to pursue their labor as satisfactorily
during the night as during the blaze
ofa southern summers day. The expense
Of artificial light is in the following order,

The EXCURSION TO 'NEwroRT ON THE
4rH---We presume our readers do not
need TO be told that an excursion is to come
off to Newport from New London on the
4th, nor do we suppose it will be necessary
for us TO urge them to be among the num-
ber who will avail themselves of the oppor-
tunity to enjoy II very pleasant sail ofabout
three hours length, and the somewhat un-
usual stay in Newport of about three hours,
also. We understand the boat is not to
leave Newport until o'clock in the after
noon, which will afford the excursionists
ample time to see all the sights which are
to be seen at that world-renowned watering
place. In connection with the excursion,
we notice also that dioramic exhibition is
to come off on board the steamer during
the passage, which, from all accounts, can
not fail to be attractive. These illustra-
lions of Mrs. Stoves Uncle Toms Cabin
have given general satisfaction whenever
they have been exhibited in New York, and
the appearance of the same thing here as an
accompaniment to a ith of July excursion,
is certainly somewhat novel. We learn
that the excursion will come Off rain or
shine, and with the Worcester il makes but
little difference what the weather is when
once on board the boat. She is one Of the
best steamers for an excursion there is
aloat, and the present excursion should be
well patronizcd, especially as it is probably
the only one our citizens will be favored
with this season to Newport.-NeS London

U'We were very much surprised, on
our late trip to Wisconsin, to find the anti
Nebraska feeling so very strong and gener-
al /; of course, we expected that large pro-
portion of the people were opposed to this
measure, but we supposed that many of the
Democrats would sustain it as an Admins
tration measure. Such however, is not the
case in all parts of the State there is al
most unanimity of feeling against the
measure, In fact, it is very difficult to find
a man who favors it, outside ofthe ring of
Government officers; but none of these
are as violent in their support of the Bill IA
is our friend the orator Of nattr, Milton
Hall, Esq, the Naval Officer at this port
The truth is, our friend Milton is far ahead
of Douglas and the administration in his ell
thusi astc admiration ofthe justice of the
measure he talks in such wild and almost
incoherent strains, that his best friends, like
ourselves, really have justifiablc fears in re-
gard to his sanity.
With the exceptions which we have made,
the whole population of the North and
North West are firm and decided on this
question; and they will manifest their OPP
position to this ne arious political scheme,
at the next Presidential election, in man
ner which will confound Douglas, Pierce
g. Co. The passage of the Nebraska Bill
has doomed the Democratic party, as now
organized, for some years to come,
