TIE DuTY OF THE South. The
Feliciana Democrat, has very lucid,
transparen'ly logical article. with the
above head. It is really astonishing
whata number of patriots we have
to point out /" the Duty ofthe South. .
The argument of the Democrat, is
conclusive; it may be summed up
thus; the people should one and all
support the party which supports the
Feliciana Democrat, then the duty
the whole duty, and nothing but the
duty Of the South will be done.

ure, with pair Of scales in one hant
and Roman sword iu the other. She
is an ancient goddess, and has alorn
ed the picture books, and been refer
red to, BY politicians, as far back AZ
our memory goes. What is asonish
ing about the scales of justice, is. that
they are like the elelnents-always
endeavoring to find an equilibrium
aud vet never have been able to do go
Justice in this respect, is like The
balance of power, for which a mil.
lion Of the worlds populations in the
East are now engaged in killing one
other, and making a new stock of he
roes for the hero worshippers. The
balance Of power" does not have
time to settle into an equipose, be.
fore somebody kicks the beam. But
to come back TO Justice. Ii the scales
were to come to u balance, then jus
tice would be at an end, because there
would be no such thing as injustice
Thus: if The water that rolls by us in
the Mississippi were to find its level,
which it IS always running after, the
world would loose It's balance, and be
thrown against the moon, or some err
ratio comet
1t is an unfor'Yw"a'S position, this

matters and we get no Credit for any
thing we say. If we say good ser-
ous thing, Or tell story founded in
fact. The Know Nothing papers give
our neigbbor in Lafayette credit for
il (; and the Democrat, set it down as
the property Of our Church street
contemporary. This is both right and
wrong. It is right that none but a
party organ should be credited, and 1t
is wrong to commit petty larcency, by
Aking the goods Of one man and be
slowing them upon another. when

PROCLAMATION.

William MedW Governor Of the State of Ohio
IN PURSUANCE OF AN USAGE, established
| and sustained by the annual recommenda-
tions of the General Assembly, through long
series of years, and which usage has always
found sanction and cheerful acquiescence in
the hearts of a grateful people, |, WILLIAM
MEDILL, GOVERNOR OF THE STATE OF OHIO,
do, by these presents, appoint and set apart
THURSDAY, THE TVENTY-SECOND DAY OF
NOVEMBER NEXT, to be observed as day of
TO ALMIGHTY GOD for the
manifold blessings of the year which is about
to close.
While war, with all its attendant evils, has
been convulsing the nations of the old world,
and pestilence has been performing its work of
death among portion of our own brethren in
the South, the people of Ohio have been gra-
ciously exempted from the desolating conse-
quences of either.
The laws of the State have been duly re-
spected; the national Union in all its integrity
and force, has been preserved; the fields of the
husbandman have yielded an unusual abun-
dance; and industry, in all its channels, has
been appropriately rewarded.
In view of these evidences of Divine good
ness, | most earnestly recommend that the
good people of Ohio suspend and lay aside all
business, upon and during the aforesaid day
aSSelhoic it tlei uSual places ol worship, ana
return their heartfelt THANKS to ALMIGHTY Cop
the AUTHOR of these and all the other blessings
we enjoy, and offer up their prayers for con-
tinuance of the same.
Given under my hand and the Great
Seal of the State of Ohio, at the CITY
rJ of Columbus, this, twenty-second day
~ of October, A. D. 1855, and in the
eightieth year of the Independence of
the United States.

NEY YORK, Oct. 80.
= The U. S. Steamer George Law arrived
this evening at O'Clock from Aspinwall,
bringing $50 passengers and $l,607, 900
in treasure.
The George Law brings the California
mails up to the 5th of October. She con-
nected at the Isthmus with the steamer
John L. Stephens, which brought down
xl, 10000 in treasure.
The news from California is unimport-
ant; all the returns of the election had
been received, but had not been officially
counted. The whole Know Nothing State
5 ticket is elected Johnson's majority for
Governor is over 5 700. The whole num-
ber of votes polled, $4,000. The Legis-
lature is composed of u Know Nothings,
80 Democrats and Wings.
The Prohibitory Liquor Law was de-
feated by 5000 majority.
Ex-Governor Foote, Ex- congressman
Marshall and Patton are the prominent
Know Nothing candidates for United
States Senator, to succeed Mr.. Gwin.
Gen. Denver, Secretary of State, had

A party of 100 recruits left San Fran

smallest territorial change that obliged
them to respect the integrity of the Rus
sian empire and deprive them of the
Swedish alliance. 1t is the fear of the
revolution which would meet them on
every side, whenever the scent of battle
should reach the hostile masses, which
forbids them from a general war, and
limits them to an isolated point of the
Muscovite territory between the sea and
the steppes. Negotiations, protocols, bat
ties, everything in this struggle betrays the
deep conviction of the European Govern
ments that on this European soil, under
mined in every direction by suffering, no
single spark can be kindled without re-
sulting in an universal contlagration.
The manifesto closes by asking sub
scriptions to the military chest.
