The Mobile Advertiser observes that it be-
lieved itself liberal enough to the democrats of
Georgia, the other day, in stating that they had
given the wings FOUR out of the eight congress
sional nominations in that State. The Macon
Citizen, however, informs US that the conven-
ton recently assembled at Americas, which
was considered certain to nominate a Union
democrat, overslaughed the democratic aspi-
rants and selected Martin J. Crawford, whig,
as its standard bearer for that district. So
there are now FIVE wings supported by the de-
mocrats for congressional honors in Georgia
OF course they were nominated on accoznt of
being anti-know nothings. Yet the Piercltes
swear that the American party is a wing trick.
.o@ -~@-~-~~~~C-~~~~~->-7-1-7~- ...... .5
The Piercites are singular set of mortals.
They make war on, abuse and cry down every
democrat who feels inclined to desert the for
eign party and join the American ranks; while
in the same breath they cheer Wise and make
him governor of Virginia, because be deserted
from the wings. Surely, lift was praiseworthy
for Wise to backslide from his old party and
join the foreign army, it must be equally as
commendable for democrats to enroll them
selves under the American banner, and refuse
to fight any longer in the Pierce harness

A"Greenwood SUBSCRIBE requests us te
publish the following article, taken from the
Thibodaux Minerva. We are not in posses
sion of the law creating parish recorders, and
therefore cannot give any Information on the
subject; but learn by the Coast Journal thai
the governor is reported to have conceded with
the position assumed by the Mercury.
''PARIsH RECORDERS "-Ate we to have an
election for this officer at the ensuing general
election? This question is frequently asked
and yet Judging from our country exchanges,
which have candidates announced for every
other parochial Office, no settled opinion seems
to have been formed Some persons suppose
that the election for recorder takes place, while
others think that this officer forms an exception
to the general rule. Neither the constitution
of As or SO make alusion to that officer in
direct terms. 1t is only by inference that we
draw our deductions Ef
Article 147 declares that"the time of ser
vice of ALL OFFICERS chosen by the people at
tie first election under this constitution 1.-THE
constitution of so, shall terminate as though
the election had been holden on the first Mon
day of November, 1851, and they had enter
ed on the discharge of their duties at the time
designated therein" The election of record
ers made in 1858, under the new constitution
is embraced by this article, and commencing
to hold their Offices from the first Monday Of
November, 1851, and not from the date of their
election in 1855-four years will have elapsed
by the first Monday of November next. There
is no controlling clause in this new constitution;
for neither article 148 or 149 has any relation
to the matter under inquiry
These suggestions are thrown out to direct
examination to this question and we do not see
how they can be gotten over

sectarian Charity.

Tho New York Courier says: recent
~ a poor woman of the Jewish sect, in
that city, made application to the Off
Gers of the Association for the poor, for
relief, being furnished with testimonials
of her being q deserving object of char
ity, by a respectable gentleman of this
city, and was refused, on the GROUND that
they did not assist the JeWSi The
charity which could only be moved by
a coincidence of faith, is certainly not
the charity which Christ recommended
as a virtue. But there is great deal
of Just such narrow and restricted char
ity about.
And what is equally true, such speci,
mems of the spurious article are to be
found in all places where a bigotted at
taehment to any particular mode of faith
is allowed to take the place of good
works and generous feelings. The old
Jews had no dealings with the Samari-
tans, and the good Samaritans of this
day have no dealiugs with the Jews
The tables are turned; but two wrongs
can never make one right. There IS a
tendency in the human mind to limit
the sphere of its s~ympathies. The
world would be better of, could we but
realize that God made of one blood all
nations of men, to dwell on all the face
of the earth" There is bible for you,
if we die for it.

Gen. Houston.

A Washington correspondent of the
Nev York Times, writes as follows:
"Gen. Sam Houston declares his in
tention of resigning his seat, ~irrevocably,
after the present session. He assigns
as a reason, the condition Of his private
affairs. The General married late in
life, about fourteen years ago, and has a
family of six children, between the ages
of six months and eleven years, whom
he desires to train up as Woodworking,
industrious members of the community.
His oldest boy, he says, can hoe his row
with any boy of his age, and his mastery
of the pillow is truly surprising. The
other children are all to be accomplish
ed in the same arts and in order to at
tend to them properly, the fathers
presence is required at home. The
health of the old hero is excellent
though he still suffers from the wound,
received at the battle of San Jacinto, in
the ANGLE of his left leg. This injury
now extends its effects to his knee and
hip, leaving room for the apprehension
that the entire limb may yet be disabled.
Another wound offorty-one years stand
ing still forms an issue on his right
shoulder.
