We have just received copy Of "The Mich

very able address delivered before the Michi-
gan Agricultural Society, at Detroit, in octo-
Der last, by the Hon Jacob Broom, of Penn
sylvania. We have not room to copy the adj
dress at present, but we propose to do SO at
the, earliest practicable moment. We cannot
however, forbear extracting and publishing
now, the eloquent and patriotic language IN
which the address is closed, the sentiments Of
which win find sympathetic response in every
truly American bosom, viz:
But in bringing this address to It's close, can
not refrain from urging upon my countrymen as
applicable to the subject the necessity at all times
of close and vigilant devotion to the UNION Of
our States which constitutes US nation. Pros
perity, II possible, without that union, would fail
to accomplish the happiness and welfare OF the
people. With national pride destroyed, and the
dismembered fragments Of once glorious Union
thrown in conflict upon the sane current Of free
blood on which the perfect ark was launched in
sublime majesty to float through countless genera
tions, this people would present condition too
deplorable for contemplation. Let US, then, be
friends to that glorious Union; let us guard well
the sanctity OF its spirit against all encroachments
or influences, whether foreign or domestic; and,
that we may realize the full and happy results Of
industry, with the arm of true patriotism sustain
and uphold it beyond the conflict of passions and
the malevOlenCe or designs of its foes"

GEORGETOWN, Dec. 10, 1855.
Our town at present presents a very business
like appearance. Our merchants have laid In large
stocks of winter goods and many Of them appear
to be doing thriving business. There is consider
able complaint among our merchants here that
many of the people go to Washington to make
their purchases, when they can get their goodsju
as cheap at home. This Is easily accounted for
The Washington merchants advertise freely, while
ours neglect doing so, and people win patronze
those who advertise Let our businessmen adver-
tise more freely, and they win soon feel Its benz
fetal effects, and have no further reason TO COM
plain. N.s

been suffering for some time past with the chills
and fever, Ia still confined to his house. and viii

Our City Council was in session last Friday
night at which time several messages were re-
ceiyed from the Mayor-one recommending the
alteration Of the grade Of High street between the
canal and Water street, one recommending the
arching of the sewer near Trinity church, and one
opposing any application being made to Congress
by our Council for an appropriation to aid In the
construction of the Metropolitan railroad, or any
further appropriations being made by our Corpo-
ration for that purpose.
Yesterday the Vigilsnt Fire Companp turned
out with music, 10 attend the funeral Of their de-
ceased fellow fireman, Mr.. John McCsuley. His
remains were conveyed TO the battle-ground on q
hose carriage, drawn by four white horses There
were ALSO in the procession, the proprietor clerks
and drivers Of the line of omnbusses running
from here to your city, Mr.. McCauey, previous to
bis decease, being engaged as driver on that line
Soon after the line had started from the late resi-
dence Of the deceased, the Western Hose Com
pany, of your city, arrived and joined the process
sion before IL reached the burial ground.
Nuisance.-Every morning, between three and
four o'clock, the residents on Bridge street, be.
tween Congress and Jefferson, are disturbed from
their quiet slumbers by hideous yelling and thun
dering noise, made by the mail carrier endeavorine
TO awaken the postmaster TO get his mail It u
very annoying and IL is hoped that friend TilleJ
will try and devise some means by which the car
rer can get his mail without disturbing the wbolt
neighborhood
Il am requested, by several subscribers to the

riers itle as it is frequently dark before the pa
per is left at their doors AxIeo.

Nothing ridden city, as our good neighbor in the
opposition calls it, has thus again exhibited mark
ed contrast in favor of law and order, as compared
with our elections previous to the advent of Ameri

legitimate fruit of the principles of the American
party when properly carried out, and when it shall
succeed in governing the country, as 1t will at no
distant day, we shall find election disturbances
/" few and far between"
Of the result yesterday, tho American party has
reason to be proud. All things considered, it was
