t9g- In farm house near Liberty, Mis-
souri, the mistress of the house became i'll
one morning, having according to symptoms,
received an attack of cholera. Her husband
had left the house al daybreak, and her only
daughter, who was then with her, sent for
physician. After few hours the latter ar
rived, but was already met ut the door, reccIv-
ed by the sobbing girl, with the cry ''she is
dead!" He was conducted into the room
where the corpse lay. examined it, and d.
rected the daughter not to allow the inter-
ment until twenty-four hours had elapsed
He had scarcely done so when the corpse
nodded significantly. The daughter saw THIS
motion, and was so Mortified that she fell
down dead on the spot. It's well known
fact that persons who die OF cholera retain
the warmth of the blood for long time, ire-
quently alarming bystanders byeontract'on o'
the muscles.

.4H- The Louisville Journal thus hits off
the Pierce and Forney administration:
The imbecility and faithlessness of the
Pierce administration are no longer open to
doubt or dispute. The most infatuated Lo-
coloco in the country would now hardly have
the front TO lift his voice or pen in its defence,
or in mitigation of the all but universal con.
tempt in which it is held. Every where its
chosen supporters appear to enjoy a malig-
nant pleasure in spurning and despsing it,
1t has more than realized the most contempt
uous predictions of the most contemp,uVus
Whig, in the low depths of dshonor and
nfamy it has reached in the esteem of its own
party. Hate could not wish it worse than
guilt and shame have made it. Its enemies,
sickened by its crimes and loIIies have long
since relinquished to its friends the facile
task of exposing and dcnouneing it. 1t is
beneath everything but the indignan: scorn
of its duprd and deIrauded votaries.

AMERlcANisM IN ALABAMA.-Georgc d.
Shortridge, the American candidate for Gov
ernor, has'been all his life Democrat of the
straightest sect, and was long leader Of the
party. Percy Walker, the American candI-
date for Congress in the Mobile District, has
hitherto actively supported the Democratic
organization. He was one of their most el-
oquent orators. James +. Belser, formerly a
Democratic representative in Congress from
the Montgomery District, and always thor
oughgoing State Rights man, has taken the
field in favor Of the platform of the Ameri-
can party. G. X. Bradford, formerly editor
of the Mobile Register, and an office holder
under the Pierce Administration, and many
other distinguished Democrats in Alabama
have espoused the American cause. The
fact is, that the Philadelphia platform is
eating up the old parties.

OuTRAGEs UPON FEmALEs.-The Troy
Times says that it is estimated that the num-
Der of criminal Outrages committed upon fe-
males in the United States during the past
wear have been 1900. In forty eight cases,
the victim was either murdered upon the
spot or death subsequently resulted from the
injuries inflicted upon her. Thenumber of sui
cdes by females was iS9-in eighty seven cases
these poor self murderers had been the victims
Of seduction or outrage. This is horrld cata-
logue, and one may wei be surprised at the
apnthy with which crime so learfuly preva-
lent is regarded. Aud yet we venture to say
that not one half the truth is known. II the
wrongs which are borne and suffered in secret
were brought to light, and the calendars of
our criminal courts thoroughly searched, we
should find them footing up nm aggregate
with which the above figures would Oear
scarcely Il comparison.

NEW York, July 8.

The prohibitory law may, in one sense, be
compared to the Bible, ms every religious
creed lays its foundation on the peculiar in
depreciation of the sacred word, so the Judges
and lawyers, belonging to the different poit'
ical parties, construct its meaning in accor'
dance with their vews-many using their
personal interests as the standard of correct
ness. Scarcely two of our magistrates con-
cur in the same opinion, the consequence is
that the law is likely to become dead letter.
and if some measures are no. adopted to pre-
vent the general and ndiscriminate selling OF
liquor, (the license law being revoked) the
city will be disgrace to our country.

BUTTFuL SEHTIMENT.-The beautiful ex-
tract below is from the pen Of Hon. George
S. Ililliard:
81 confess that increasing years bring with
them an increasing respect for those who do
not sucreed in life, MS those words are COM
monty used. Heaven is said to be a place
for those who have not succeeded upon earth,
and it is surely true that celestial graces do
not best thrive and bloom in the hot blaze
of worldly prosperity. Ill success sometimes
arise from superabnndance of qualities in
themselves good-frOm conscience too sem
sitve, taste too fastidious, a sel-forgetlul-
ness too romantic, modesty too retiring
Twill not go so far as to say, with living
poet, that the world knows nothing Of its
creates men, but there are forms OF great
ness, or at least excellence, which 'die and
make no sign, there are martyrs that miss
the palm but not the stake; there are heroes
without the laurel, and eonquerors without
the triumph"

WHIPPING IN THE RENEGADEs" AND
"TRAIToRs."- Louisville Times publish
es the names of ELEVEN "leading men" of
Kentucky who have joined the American
party from the ranks of the old democracy,
and dcnounces them as "renegades" and
"traitors" 1t is one of the tenents ofthe for
cign party, that any man once acting with 1t,
and finding it opposed to the best interests of
the country, deserting, and discharging his
duty at the balot-box in free and inde-
pendent manner is denounced rs "renagade"
and "traitor." In this respect it is like the
Catholic Church, which anathamatizcs all
who are converted fronsits doctrines to Pro-
testnntism, and denounces all opposed to it
as hereticS. But the time is passed, for tho
credit of Americans be it said, when party
allegiance is regarded as above patriotismj
and the deluded iuglemen Of this obnoxious
Administration, and its despairng adherents,
can calculate little upon the potency of such
wholesale denuncaton and abuse in whipping
in American frecmen to its support.

FOREIGN IEFLUEYCE-READ, TEHHEsEE-
Ars.-The following is specimen Of the
kind of influences which the American party
opposes, and the effect of which upon our
institutions, under the patronage of party
demagogues, gave rise to the American party.
Read it, Americans, and say if you too, are
not opposed to it. John Mitchell, the Irish
Refugee, in addressing his countrymen in
Massachusetts, in view of the disbanding of
the foreign military companies ln;hat States
said:
"For every musket given in the State Ar.
mo-y let three be purchased forthwhiih; let
independent companies be formed thrice MS
numerous as the disGanded corps-there are
no Arms Acts here yet-and lei erery "t5r.
eigner" be drilled and trained, and HAVE
HIS ARMS ALWAYS READY. For you
may be very sure, (having some experience
in that matter,) that those who begin by dis
arlDing you, mean to do you mischief.
"Be careful not to truckle in the smallest
particular, to American prejudices. Yield not
a single jot of your own; for you have as
good right to your prejudices as they. Do
not, by any means, suffer the Gardner's BIZ
bic the Protestant Bble,) to be thrust down
your throat. Do not abandon your post, or
renounce your functions, but STAND TO
YOUR ARMS"
Here is specimen of foreign influence for
you. What say you to il?

and an Insult TO the pious Washington
on whose birthday j, was held"

suit TO Washington. The gentleman who
gave utterance to the above pronnncia-
mcnto OF mistaken piety will not deny that
Washington frequently attended balls
even as late as during the term OF his
presidency : then how could it be an in.
suit to his memory for young people 10
assemble on his birthday and enjoy an
innocent and harmless pas,ime II would
be more christian like 10 participate in
such parties as Washington did. than to
rave SO terociously agains, them.
