acknowledges the kindness of our Consul

GoUGH.-This we'll known Temper
ance Lecturer rather electriies John
Bull. Witness the following paragraph
from a London letter in the Pittsburgh
Christian AaUocate:
:" A man who plays upon one string
must play we'll to attract many. Mr..
Cough has played upon one string, in
this country, for these last Is months,
aud the interest of the public in his per-
formances increases rather than abates.
We use tho word performances :" not
at all in that inYidious sense; for in
spite of the suspicion which attaches to
a speculation In which the orator re-
ceiYes the income of an opera-singer for
telling the faith that is in him, We be-
lieve him to be perfectly sincere, and a
true reformer. Your correspondent has
had the happiness of hearing Mr.. Cough
tw vice, and the effect produced uponh him,
and, to all appearance, the whole of the
listeners, was overwhe ming. What 9TH
er effect could be produced by an ora
ton which required Is feet of platform
for its delivery? The orator stamped
and stormed, aud almost raved, his euer-
getic sentences relliug forth a,maryelous
flood of the most musical words over
the heads of his astonished auditory
He jumped about, carrying to the limits
of the burlesque the axiom or Demos
themes that action is the chief requisite
of the orator. Whether he initiated the
kicking donkey or the rolling gait of the
drunkard-which he did-all was done
with the greatest art, and the most ex-
quisite tact displayed in the knowledge
of human nature; for not one of his
anecdotes and practical jokes missed
FIRE; and whether Mr.. Cough convulsed
his audience with laughter at some piece
of humor, or melted them to tears by a
sudden action upon their pathetic feel
ings the experiment was always success
full MI. Cough has true genius-good-
ness oil heart-a noble spirit; and heis
achieving a great-work of reformation
in this nation, so notorious as the most
drunken one under heaven.

Important Law suit among Snowman
--Barnum VS.. Spalding.

We understand that Barnum has com
meuced suit against DR.. Spalding sfor
several thousand dollars damages. III con-
sequence of the death of a giraffe on
board the Eoating Palace at New Or
leans. some time since. Spalding, it
seems had hired the animal, with the
privilege of buying; but in transferring
it to the Palace, Notwithstanding every
precaution wassused to guard against all
accidents or injury, he was accidentally
drowned Barnum claims the accident
occdrredia couse pence OF the negligence
of Spalding, and claims damages Tor the
value, about $4,000. On the other
hand, SpaldiBg claims hat every pessi-
bic p%recaution aud diligence were used,
and as the animal was uiider the charge
of a keeper appointed by Barnum, ii
there was any carelessness or negligence,
1t wss through. the carelessness of such
that the death of the animal occurred,
AID that Barnum is liable forthe dam
age aud loss. estimated at $4,000, suf-
fered by Spalling. Both parties have
the reputation ut being rather shrewd III
their way, and as both are well able to
pay the lawyers we hope t ey will both
obtain justice, and get the worth of the
money they pay them.-Abany Argus.

Eve have been favored with a
number of the Womaan's Adrocate-de-
voted to the I" elevation of female in
dustrial classes, and produced exclusive
y by the joint stock capital, energies
and industry of females"
The paper will be published weekly,
by Miss ANN MCDOWELL. Judging
from the present number we think there
is a good hope in the future, fwell sup
ported. If there are those who feel in
terested in the thousands of struggling
poor, who are around us and have claims
upon us, for their honesty and integrity,
whose only crime is singing poverty,
now is the time to give an impulse, to
give our mite to this new movement,
and help make it popular for those who
are obliged to toll for the necessaries of
life, who are of honest intent, to do SO
honorably and with a degree of ease,
compared to the present code of things (;
or in other words, sufficient pay, as a
compensation for services performed.
The editress says " she does not seek
to bring the wages of men down, but to
elevate those of females. She does not
clamor for legal or political rights,
whilst the right of firing by the labor
of her hands is denied her." By the
Press opinions are regulated, SO by the
Press. and its supporters, mast this OBJ
Ject be regulated the opening of more
avenues so that females may honOrably
make their own living.

ADMIRABLE.-He is greatest among
US said Henry ward Beecher lately, be-
fore a New York audience, who, SO far
from being an exclusive, is most a min
lister of social, moral and political eleva-
ton to others. III Americans form with
their natural or acquired political or
moral gifts, a class or classes, they for
swear not only American ideas, but
Gods ideas of religion. Surely we
must not repudiate the men who come
here for the reasons that brought US and
our forefathers-the love ofliberty our
principles as Americans are born from
that religion which teaches the perfect
equality of all men before God.

Sensible.

We find in the Louisiana Courier the
proceedings of a Democratic meeting in
Mar shall county Mlssiss ppi, one r%esolu-
ton of which presents an admirable snm-
mary of political truth. 1t is is follows:
"ReS0lUed, Yhat we believe the great
Democratic party of this county is fully
competent to correct what ever mischiefs
may require correction, within its own
organization. No new party is needed
for any such purpose. If the naturali-
believe the Democratic party, as now
organized, will correct them, doing full
justice to all parties interested, both
natives and foreigners; aud while we
are in favor of every mans doing what
he may believe to be right, and impute
improper motives to noue, we would re-
spectfully ask those Democrats who are
becoming distrustful of their party, to
ponder seriously before they leap, by
fastening to join an organization to
break down foreign influence, as it is
termed. Is there not danger hat they
will put In power a class of federal p5l-
iticiaus, entertaining principles with
which they had been at war all their
Their is not the shadow of
doubt but what h6gh tariff, bank, inter
nal improvement aud no extension of
territory politicians will rule the secret
order of Know Nothings, Americans, or
what ever name they give it; therefore
to join it, to put put one spark of FIRE,
there is danger of becoming enveloped
in the flames of Federalism. All other
parties are a~ntagonistdcal to the Dem
ocratic party, and a party that has u
ceeded in bringing forth a prosperity IN
paralleled in the history of nations,
not be abandoned for light and
transient reasons"
