There is very little Of the Herod in our nature,

If Cowper in the month of August, in the city Of
Boston, with the thermometer at 90 had, while
tossing upon his seepless couch. heard the dull
but bloodthristy drone Of mosquito, and felt the
lancet like bill entering his soul he would have
slapped at that mosquito, at the very least. Not
that he would have killed it. Nobody ever killed
fril grown mosquito yet. To borrow the Ian

INCIDrNTs OF THE PEsTrLENCB.-A letter from
Norfolk Published in the Charleston Courier says:
"A man jumped into the river The other day and
was drowned; his entire family had been swept
AWAY by the breath of the destroying angle, and
he alone was left.-Wo witness scenes every day
that make the tears flow, and tho heart bleed.
A lady died at the hospital last week leaving an
only child and she girl about five years old.
She had fnther and brothers aud sisters carried.
one by one. to their narrow home, and the spir-
it of her dear mother had now departed. She
sat by the cold corpse weeping bitterly, and as
she sat there sobbng. with her face buried in her
lap, | felt the warm tear trops course down my
own cheeks. | commanded my feelings, and
spoke to her tenderly. told her that her moth
er was no longer sick and suffering pain, but
she was in heaven, in the presence of her Saviour,
and in the company of angels and good people,
and that il she would be agood girl she would
sec her mother again. | conforted her by tell
ing her that God was her father and that he
would take care OF her. She left the room.
About an hour afterwards, whileI was walking
along the street, saw this little girl; she recog.
nsed me Immediately, and, smiling through her
tears. she ran towards me-, and clasping my hand
in hers, she said, with touching simplicity. "Do
sir have my denr mother buried ina coffin; it
would pain my mother very much If she was put
into one of those horrid boxes"

0TLast Saturday was proud day for the
national Democracy of Montgomery county.
AT an early hour in the morning. steady and
unceasing stream of people commenced pour
ing in, and at 10 o'clock the principal streets
were densely thronged. At eleven a large
delegation from Wayne township, headed by
the Invincible Guards, came in matching with
the ensign of the Republic fluttering in the
breeze and their band discussing soul-stir-
ring music.
But few Know Nothings were to be seen,
their masters probably not allowing them to be
present, fearing that the light of truth might
dispel the darkness of their minds. Bughum
Fry, we believe, was the only one worthy ONO
tice that attracted om attention. He busted
himself with taking notes, and no doubt will
give UeYy correct account of the proceedings.
After the organization of the meeting, Daniel
W.Voorhees addressed the immense multitude
in one of themost eloquent speeches that we
ever listened to- He exhibited in bold and
unmistakabe language the dark and treason
able designs of the Know Nothing Abolition
order, that seeks the ACKNOWLEDGMENT of the
Union and the formation of a Northern con-
federacy. The widest enthusiasm was man
ifested by the national men, who made the
welkir. ring with their huzzas during the de-
livery of his splendid speech. His peoration
will long be remembered as a mastery effort,
approaching in grandeur and sublimity the
eioauence of Patrick Henry. Mr.. Voorhees,
is one among the rising men of the age, whose
future if we mistake not will be brilliantly
crowned with success. He has made an i'm
preston here that will not soon be forgotten
by the Democracy of Montgomery county,
who will not fail at the proper time to show
their esteem and high regard for his intellec-
tual worth and sterling integrity.
In the afternoon, John l.. Robinson deliv-
cred speech of some two hours length,
which for powerful argument and statistical
facts we never heard equalled. Mr.. Robinson
has been more abused and vilified than any
man in the State, particularly by setof lazy,
lounging vagabonds, that instead of earning
'their bread by the sweat of their brow" set
themselves up as preachers, under the cloak
of which they pour out their filthy ISLANDERS
upon the democratic party. These fellows
are truly "Itinerant Nasabonds," and should
be frowned down by every honest man. The
meeting broke up with three cheers for Rob
inson. Everything passed of in the best OF
order, and all went home rejoicing over the
glorious proceedings of the day.-CrGlgfords-

MEssRs. EDIToRs:-A man would probably
be laughed at now-a-days, were he to saw
that the cause of the great Fusion party were
declining. The 'signs of the times,' how
ever, plainly denote that such is the lamentq-
bic fact.
The Fusionists have evidently been trick
ed by somebody. Only day or two ago the
editors of tie organ whiningly appealed to
the (deceaSed) Carson League, asking for
naoney-strange, is MT it, that party profess
sing such moral proclivities should worship
the Golden Calf
But the defunct League could MT hear their
doleful cries, so they got up sbOlo, thinking
no doubt, that as their party were fond of
amusements, it would pay. S. p Crawford
was the Star. 1t appears that he insured the
receipts to equal the outlay of the concern,
besides paying off some old scores that hung
over the heads of the far-famed Company.
The temperature of the winds of the citi-
zens proving inauspicious to the speculation,
but few were "takea IN and the agent quietly
informed the creditors of the fact. The
creditors, of course, wanted to know whether
the concern was sound, SO they sent up the
Sheriff to invoice it. but 'horror Of horrors, -
a transfer had been made, and so they found
| themselves in the lurch We wonder what
the defalcations in the State Treasury would
be were the books examined now. As the
idea of borrowing out of the State Treasury
is something new, the prudent head'' of that
institution ought to advertise the fact We
should like to patronize them ourSelf. The
exhibition may be continued. The debts
may be assumed by some one, but we think
this doubtful.
An attempt will be made to throw all the
blame on the aforesaid agent" but that is
all CANNON. 1t is the bankruptcy of all that
enobles party that have mired on Republi-
can frauds, and not the tricks of an indi-
vidual. KNOW SOMETHING.

AMERICAN Protestant ASSOCIATION. -
About forty Know Nothings from Cincinnati,
organized Know Nothing Lodge under the
name of an American Protestant Association,
at Lawrenceburgh on Saturday last This
american Protestant association is nothing
else than new dodge of the Know Moth
ings to array the foreign Protestants, whom
they cannot initiate into their Lodges, against
the foreign Catholics; thus hoping to neutral
ize the foreign vote, which they know would
otherwise be unanimously cast against them.
There is no Religion, no good whatever in
any religious Association which binds its
members by oaths, as does this American
Protestant Association. The designs of its
getters up are as transparent as gauze and
we would warn all foreigners who desire to
preserve to themselves the exercise OF the
elective franchise to shun this American Pro-
testant Association they would Know
Nothing Lodge. The principles of the two
are exactly the same,
