members of the Pennsylvania Legislature,
inviting him TO become candidate for the
Presidency. He defines his position very
frankly. lie opposes sectional agitation; con-
sidcrs the American movement second only
to the Declaration of Independence; censures
demagogues for having endeavored to band
together citizens of foreign birth, according
to their national or religious creeds, and ad,

ers a tariff which yields surplus to the
treasury impolitic, causing frequent convul-
sions, periodical bankruptcy, and ruin to the
currency and every branch Of business. His
tariff views, it is supposed, will not give him
any popularity in Pennsylvania with the
Know Nothings.

made of soft rags. If very painful, put more
water. AS the sore heals apply it weaker

OF The Paris correspondent of the New
York Journal of Commerce writes: ... .i
"The strain at the Bourse yesterday after
noon WIS this: "If Lord John goes to Wen.
ma, it has been SO arranged with the Empe-
ror Louis Napoleon; and it will be for the
purpose of breaking up the conference as he
did the Aberdeen cabnet--al in eoncert with
the Emperor and Lord PalmerstoI.' For the
Gar he is the most obnoxious envoy from
England that could be chosen. Lord Palm
erston, who deputies him, is equally bent on
war; peace cannot possibly ensne. A panic
occurred among the dealers in stocks; there
was material fall; the 8 per cents. declined
more than franc the Al half that amount;

ously; so did the scrip of the new loan"

RoT IN THE CoTToN.---A friend, yesterday,
left at our Office part of cotton stalk, upon
whioh were two open hollis of cotton, one sound
boil and nineteen hollis affected by the rot.--
and most Of them entirely rotten.
We learn further that this is not by any
means an unusual specimen 1.-THE rot having
appeared in many places to great extent.
The planter, in whose field the specimen in
question grew, informs us that it will not sur
prise him i he only makes % or 80 bales, in
stead Of 100, as he expected ten days ago. The
disease is not confined to his place; it has ap-
peared on all the surrounding plantations The
worst feature about the present rot is its early
appearance. Last year it begun in September,
and cut the crop off o great deal, Beginning
now in July, if not arrested, it will do much
greater injury. [Natchez Courier, 3D. inst.
