A Small Eater.

When Jones kept the United States
Hotel. at Philadelphia, j. was a favorite
house with US. Jones always had the
frs. salmon. the first green peas, and the
earliest strawberries.
One day, when young pigs first came
round. Jones, as usual. secured the only
four then in market, for his dinner table.
A tall. Iank individual. with a sort of
yellowish phiz, sat at our elbow. He
looked as though a basin of Cruel or
barley broth at most, would be as solid
fare as his stomach could contain. A
wafer thinking him very sick, asked
him in a commissioning tone what he
would be served with.
"Noihin.' as | knows on" replied the
sick man. Pm not quite we'll TO day;
but I'll try a bit of pork"
One of the pigs was placed by the side
Of his plate, which disappeared in double
quick time. under his successive and de-
iermined attacks

asked the waiter.

table. with a sharp. piercing look a. the

A Live Yankee In the Allied Camp.

A Mr.. X. G.. Mccormick, Of New
York, who is now on a visit 10 the allied
camp before Sebas'opol, has written a
long and interesting letter which appears
in the New York Journal Of Commerce.
We make the following extracts:

The personal appearance OF Lord
Raglan is thus described:
"On our return from the batter.es, |

who had business with the commander,

The question Of Slavery in Nebrasks
south Of the Platte has already begun tc
be discussed in calm and enlightened
way. Many Of the settlers in that part Of
the Territory are from the Southern States,
and some have their servants with them.-
They are pleased with the country-they
would Ike to cultivate their portion Of ii in
their Own.way and they are vigorously de-
termined to test the question at the ballot
box, whether or not they shall be allowed
to retain their property in their new home.
They believe 'he region south Of the Platte
to be admirably adapted to slave labor, and
that the Platte river ought in reality 20
have been the boundary line between Kan
sas and Nebraska. The people of North
western Missouri, too, are aroused on this
question, and will, doubtless, settle in South,
ern Nebraska IN large numbers. Whether,
then. the territory adopts the institution OF
Slavery or not, it is likely 10 receive large
accessions of population from all parts Of

Massachusetts X. N. Council.

The State Convention OF Know Nothings
in session at fremont Temple, held rail-
fcation meeting on Thursday evening last,
with open doors,-Dr W. H. Yves, presi-
ding. The following preamble and resOlu,
Lions were unanimously tdoped:
WHEREAS: The National Council recent
y assembled in Philadelphia, adopted as a
part of lis platform certain resolutions On
the subject of Slavery, which are entirely
repugnsnt to the sentiments of the Ameri-
can party in Massachusetts,, and subversive
of the plainest principles Of justice; and
whereas, delegates in that body from this
State Council, after endeavering 10 vain to
procure from the National Council an ex-
preston of the sentiments OF Massachusetts
and the Free States, without being unfsvor-
able TO any portion of the Union, were de-
feated in their purpose by the preponder-
auce in that body of sectional feeling and
interests, and as testimony Of their hdelity
to the sentiments of .heir constitutions,
withdraw from the National Council and
refused to participate in its proceeding
therefore
Resolred, That the State Council highly
approves of the conduct Of its delegates,
and emphaticly protests against the aclicn
of the National Council, which made such a
course necessary.
About 300 delegates were present At
the day-meetipg of the convention, John
W. Foster presided. An address to the
country was adopted, setting forth a plat
form of principles similar to the minority
report at Philadelphia, and series Of reso-
lutons OF like tenor were passed.
The Convention adopted the name of the
American Party in Massachusetts,, and in
vites all persons Of the Free States Of
whatever political creed to join them
Speeches were made by Gov, Gardner, Hen
nv Wilson, and others.
The Convention and Ratification Meet
ing were generally harmonious and enthusi-
astic. A Committee of one from each coUn
ty. to further the objects Of the Convention
was adopted.

No Fog at All.
Fremont, June 8, 1855.

Don't worry Mr.. Democrat, the Repub
licau cause is going on finely. There is n,
danger for them to apprehend from th
multiplicity of platforms which have beel
so recently built. The principal planks il
the Republican platform are opposition t
Slavery, and the demand that all our terri
tories shall be free. These, TOO, are th
planks most conspicuous in the "KnoV
Nothing platform North, the Ohio platform
and the Know Something platform.
They are ALL Anti, Slarery to the back
bone, and are strongly opposed to the ME-
DILL Sag Nieht Democracy. which The ed
itOr OF the Democrat is supporting with al
bis might.
Tell us, Mr.. Democrat, what platform
you stand upon. "The good old Democrat
ic ?" No. sir! You are not on that. Tha
allowed liberty of conscience, which is a5
solutely denied to the faithful now. Yor
prescribe it as earnestly as the Church o
Rome does the Bible. The man who
makes the Democratic opinion for the vot
ers in this region, declares that even THEN
editor "has no business to hare any opinion
of his oWn, but he must do just as the par
ty require, whether it comedies with biz
views or not"
The democratic party in Ohio, and in
this county, are PrO-slavery. They open.
ly assert that their party is and HAS AL.
WAYS BEEN THE NATURAL ALLY
OF THE SOUTH, and they are deter.
mined to give it all the aid and cOmfor
they can.
They imposed heavy taxes upon US, Sc
that man has to pay about equal to The
old Jewish rate of enc tenth, and if relie
does not soon come. they will take tpc
tsnths; and reliefcan come in no other way
than through the Republican party.
They have broken down the banking
system of the State, and by their unwise
and wicked legislation driven millions oi
dollars of capital from the State.
In this county Locofocoism has about
run the length Of lis cord. The men who
have hung on like teaches to the county
treasury have got TO let 60, and vain will
be their struggles to seize hold of another
teat
Reform is TO be The word. Reform in
the county Reform in the State. Re-
form in the Union. Give US back The Mis-.
souri, Compromise. We will have no more
slave territory. no. not another inch. Re-
pubIicans, these are your issues. Be zeal.
Gus in your cause, it is right and must pre-.
vail.

verify, they havethcirR Reward.

The Cleveland Herald says, alt is well
enough to keep an eye upon those traitors
to free labor who sold the North by the
passage of the Kansas Nebraska bill Ii
teaches US lesson upon the weakness oi
poor human nature, and shows, not that
every man has bis price, but what the price
for some men is; how cheap they value
the good will of their constituents. and how
easily they can outrage the feelings and
views of those constituents when dirty
work is 10 be done at price.
1t is now reported that Wilson Shannon.
of this State, has been or will be appointed
as Commissioner of the Land Office. in
place of Mr.. Wilson, who has just been re-
moved. The Columbus Journal thus
states the account between the four Kan
sas Nebraska men from Ohio and the Ad-
ministration. The Journal says:
at is in the order Of events that Shan
non should receive the appointment from
the President. He was one OF the four
dog of Ohio in the House of Represent
atives, who turned traitor to their constitu-
ents and to freedom, BY voting for the infa-
nous Nebraska swiDdle. Repudiated and
forever banished from public life at home,
it is proper that be should be rewarded BY
this Administration. Green. of Tltfin, got
bis paw by being appointed clerk ofthe new
10. S. Court. Olds has a son appointed to
fat Office. Shannon goes into the Land
Office at Washington. Disney is yet un-
provided for. but we have confidence that
he will in due time receive bis reward"
