Hoi0 Il Works. Last year Cincinnati gave
an anti Nebraska minority of 5000. This
year the Democrats have carried the election
BY about 1000 obs and murder into the
bad bargain. Why? Last year the anti
Nebraska men had their full share Of the
foreign vote; this year. X. Nism has forced
the whole of it into the Democratic ranks
The western states have very large share
Of foreigners, and if X. Nism continues its

From the gigantic preparations gong on in
every branch Of the military administration
II would appear that no immediate hopes of
peace are really entertained in the bl0best
quarters. Great activity is percep,ible, es-
peeially IN the clothing department, where.
IN spite OF the introduction Of the sewing
machine, the work is much greater than can
be done by the ordinary number of hands.
and therefore large orders have been given
TO civilians. Among other things may mem
ton that contract has been made with one
house for the delivery of no less than 100.
900 military winter cloaks, with capote. or
head piece, ike those in use in the French
army, from which it is inferred that a winter
campaign IS by no means impossible.
In the folner Field, near this city. a most
extensive park of artillery is being formed.
ihe number OF horses required to draw the
guns exceeds 1000. The introduction Of
gun,coiton into the army, and especially the
artillery, appears To be decided on. Trials
on very extensive scale, and under various
technical difficulties and scientific circun-
stances, have been going on for long time.
and the advantages the article has over gun
powder are now pretty well ascertained.-

To the young and fast people Of these rail-

a dense and wealthy population, may seem

Seventy years this day, Ezra Butler came

the gentle reader imagine was the condition

JrSiiee 10 The foreigners We inferred
from the telegraphic despatch that the for
eign voters Of Cincinnati were guilty Of
arming themselves with a cannon, with which
TO fight at the late election. Such was not
the fact. They had this cannon away from
the polls and from the streets, on a all in
the neighoornood, ana we're nring saiutc
in honor of Thomas Jefferson, with harmless
powder only. The .1mericdns seized that
cannon took it into the streets, charged it
with paving stones, and fired upon the crowd.
Such are the facts as given by two of the
Cincinnati powers. If this is true, the Ma
tives of Cincinnati have lost every thing

Rather Shre,rd. Governor Winston, of
Alabama, has appointed the 9Th day of April
instant, as a day Of Fasting, Humiliation
and Prayer, on account Of the opposition to
slavery and its extension, which prevails so
extensively in the Northern States THIS
is new cause for fasting, certainly, and
the movement indicates great sagacuy and
penetration on the part of this Alabama
functionary. In this proclamation Governor
Winston deprecates g the gloomy aspects of
the political relations Of the southern states,"
aud seems TO be greatly alarmed in view Of
tho end to which political fanalacism at
the North rs so tending" This fastiog on
account Of the sins Of our neighbors instead
of our own, land such sins is peculiar to
our amiable, sagaclous and exemplary breth-
rem ofthe South. We presume next fall all
the authorities of Alabama will be setting
apart day Of Thanksgiving for the innu-
merable blessings which result to the South
from the existence of slavery among them,
while the less favored people of the North
are borne down by the crushing weight OF
Free Institutions. "This is great coun-
try."-Hmdsor Journal.
Nevertheless it is encouraging to find tina,
the Slayocrats think that :" vain is the help
Of man" in their case. We hope they had a
solemn time in Alabama on the 9TH instant,
and at least read the 56th chapter Of Isaiah.
