Irish Vote in Chicago.

The Chicago Tribune, a Republican paiAr, gives
the following description of the manner in which
the Irish Catholics of that city undertake to rule
America" What blessed thing foreign govern
described took place at the recent charter election
In that city. The Tribune says:
The Irish poured into the city from all the sur
rounding country, and voted. Hundreds of Catho-
lie foreigners in Cook county came to Chicago to
help their countrymen. Many Of these vagabouds
voted two and three times each, going from
one ward TO another. drunken Irish sailors were
known TO have voted as often four times, under
assumed names, changing clothes for the purpose
At the Seventh ward, Irish were seen, after having
voted fall into the ranks and work their way up to
the window and vote again, while around the polls
stood a wild, excited mob Of thousand Celts,
threatening death to all who opposed them, Hun

Mr.. Everett at Charlottesville.

The Charlottesville Advocate thus refers to Mr.
Everetts orstion at the Virginia University:
1T was proper that this great scholar should
speak in the public hall of the leading Southern
University 1t was more than well that every in
ducement should have been offered to the five hun
dred and ffty-odd young men of the University to
hear that grand oraton whose lessons of virtue and
deep devotion to the Union we're so well calculated
to make las we are glad to know they have done)
deep impressions for good upon the youthful minds
of the large number of students gathered together
at the University, and representing every South
ern State OF the C0nfederacy. Not those young
men alone, but older hearts we're made to feel
deeper and more intense love for our Union, and
for the Father Of his Country, than they had felt
for many long month, in these days of smbitter-
ed and unpropitious sectional strife We are con-
ident that could Mr.. Everetts Grafton be heard in
every section of this republic, that it would do more
to say the bitter sectional feeling now prevailing,
than all the speeches which viii be made in Con
gress or on the hustiDgs during the next two years
" That one may form some idea OF the manner
in which Mr.. Everett's speech has been received,
we mention the fact that We met with several gen
tlemen who, having already heard the same speech
in Richmond, came from their homes in adjoining
and distant counties to hear Mr.. Everett's speech
once more"
1t is stated that at the earnest solicitation of
many virginians who have enjoyed the rare pleas
ure OF hearing Mr. Everett's lectures, he has con-
sented, should his health sustain him, to revisit
Virginia in short time, lin which event he will
lecture at Lynchburg,) extending bis tour through
several of the Southern States. The proceeds Of
all his lectures go to the fund for the purchase Of
Mount Vernon.
The Charlottesville Advocate says that, on Tues
day night last the students Of the University, in
body, serenaded Mr.. Everett in front Of Mr..
Schelle's pavilion. Indeed, the students and fac
ulty Of the University have taken every opportu-
nifty to express TO Mr. Everett their highest admi.
ntion Of him as scholar, statesman, orator and
patriot.

How TO DISPOSE OF OLD .SrocK.--A pedler OF
thu ware, who had been travelling from plantation
to plantation with his cargo of motions" found
but limited sale for his lanterns, an article OF
which he had large stock. Indespair of getting
rid of them, he offered them at what he called n
very reduced price" yet he found purchasers as
scarce as clover in sand hills At length a tavern
keeper directed him to farmer who he said was
very much in want of the article. To the house of
this ready customer went Jonathan, determined to
get his troubles worth out of him. The first per-
son he met was the overseer, who was lounging by
the side of the road. ~'
"You don't want to buy lantern, do you ?"
asked Jonathan.
"Yes, though, reckon do" returned the
overseer. How much mout you ask for one ?"
"Only thirty y-seyen-and-a-half cents"
"Wall, s'pose you gin me one"
The pedler accordingly gave him lantern, and
receiving his money, proceeded onward.
You don't want to buy first rate lantern, do
your" said he to the overseer's wife, who was wash
ing at the spring. Il
Yes. was the reply sgl i"Mr 9, has been want,
Jonathan accordingly served her out one at the
same price he had bargained with her husband for.
At the barn, before he reached the farm house, he
met the son of the planter.
"Ycu don't want to buy no lanterns, do your"
"I don't want one myself" replied the young
man, but III take one for father, who has been
after one this long WHILE"
Jonathan accordingly pocketed another thirty
seven-and-a-half cents, and became one lantern
lighter.
He now advanced boldly up to the he...sse, and
meeting the old lady at the door, Immediately put
the question to her
You don't want to buy no first rate lanterns,
do your"
"Indeed, but | do" said the old lady, my hus-
band has been wanting one these six months past,
and am glad you've come" .'
Jonathan accordingly deposited a lantern with
her, in return for another thirty half
cents. S,
He now departed, almost satisfied with the spec
he had made, At some distance from the house,
In field by the side Of the road, he espied the old
gentleman himself, and hailed him with the old
question ...#r ...
You don't want to buy no frat rate lanterns,
do yous" .,.a
How much do you ask apiece :" inquired the
planter.
Fifty cents" replied the tin pedler, /" and i
guess that's cheap enough, considerin' they've
come all the way from Connecticut"
"Well, III take one," said the old gentleman,
putting his hand into his pocket.
Hadn't you better take 'bout half dozen pr
asked the tin pedler. There's no knowing when a
tin merchant may pass this way again. If you'll take
half dozen, I'll let you have them for thirty seven
and-a-half cents apiece"
The planter took him at his word, and the ped.
Ter took to his route after having disposed Of ten
lanterns where only one was really required

ing ground throughout the length and breadth
OF the land, that before the present year ex-
pires, there win hardly DO found two intelligent
individuals who will entertain opposite opin-
ions on the question. Do Northern men doubt
the competency Of our Anglo-Saxon race to
build up institutions in the new States, best
adapted to promote their happiness? Do
Southern men question it Not at all. Do
Northern men apprehend that our Anglo-Saxon
brethren and descendants will establish insti-
tutions in the Northwest, incompatible with

Southern men desire it Not at all. Do not
Northern men know that African slavery grad
could not compete with free white labors
Do they not equally well know that white
laborers cannot endure the heat of the South
ern sun, and that African labor only can be
made available in tropical climes Do North
ern men propose to work in the cotton fields and
sugar-cane lands of the South Do Southern
men desire to cultivate with African slaves the
bleak, snow-covered regions of the North
Now, in our judgment, any attempt to eyade

self presents 10 white labor in the far South, or
to African labor in the far North, win prove a
total failure,-nor do we think that any laws
can better adjust the questions to which we
have referred, than. those laws of adaptation
to sol, climate, and productions, by which
the Anglo-Saxon race would be governed if
left to themselves, in the formation Of their
own domestic institutions. 1t is not only right

There is a current Of simplicity running through
these original Lily and Rose" verses, which
sparkles in the sunlight Of their pretty fancies;
Lady May at the Hall, is fair,
But Kate at the Mill is fairer;
Lady May wears pearls In her hair,
And the pearls are not 80 white as the wearer.
But Katie's cheeks are so lovely red
That the ribbons look pale on her pretty head;
And some ono know, finds il hard TO choose
The regal Lily, or the rustic rose.
Lady May has little white hands H
Katie's are brown with the sun Of summer
And with high-bred ease the lady stands
To courteously greet the knightly conner.
But the color on Katies eloquent cheeks,
More than her timid greeting, speaks,
And in my heart cannot choose N9
To love the Lily more than the Rose.
Lady May is the child Of an Earl
And her rank and birth were early taught her
The other, lovely, and loving girl
0therwise-ony miller's daughter.
But do not marry the ancestors tall
That stare from Sir Roberts gallery wall
And their heiress, fear that fair work Of art,
Hath just as much of human heart.
Lady May lifts up or casts down
The large blue eyes Of the house of Neville;
But Kate's eyes 4re frank and brown,
And the lashes droop on her cheeks soft level.
'Ts strange to turn from that sbadowy look,
Where you read her thoughts like an open book
To stand in the light Of the Lily's gaze,
And praise those eyes-that are used to praise.
Lady May was but boy, s.., .,s....vt,
ndyou buta child, when this troth was plighted
And time has done much the bond to destroy
OF hearts that were only half united
Many Lord win WOO bride ..., ..t..e
Who would crown his life with her stately pride

And, though thou be not worshipped bride,
Thou still wilt be the first and fairest
And to thee, who hast all, this little gold ring
Would be but very triHing thing .,.'..

My Lady May, you did not love- ...

The Democratic Review on Mr.. Fillmore.
The Democratic Review for December 1855,
having the Compromise measures of 1850, and CO.
temporaneous events under consideration, thus
speaks of Mr.. Fillmore:
"Momentous events were trsnspiring The agi-
taton of the question of slavery was paramount
in the public mind. In this crisis, it was well that
so reliable man as Mr.. Fillmore was found in the
Presidential chair. The safety and perpetuity OF
the Union were threatened. Already had "a
naticism raised it's hydra-head. Schemes and isms
leaped from thousand ambuscades. The enemies
of the Union started forth on every side--Aboli-
tionism here; secessonism there; acquisition and
fllibusterism elsewhere. These were the formida-
BILE elements Of misrule with which the Executive
had TO cope How well he met, and how entirely
he, for the time, overcame these enemies OF the
peace of the republic, leave the historian to re-
late; but our retrospect would be incomplete and
disingenuous, didwe not accord the need of praise
justly due to high moral erceiience and infellectu-
al and administratiee honesty and talent, as de-
veioped IN the administration of Mr.. Fillmore.

Mr.. Nicholson, Of the Union.

The Nashville Banner invites the attention OF
honest men Of all parties to the suboined extract
of speech made by A. o. P. Nicholson, ESQ.,, at
Gallatn, Tennessee, on the 2Sth of July, 1852, as
reported in the Nashville Union of Aug. 2, 1852;
4. o. p. Nicholson on Millard Fillmore IL, 1862.
"He next inquired into the influences which led
to Gen. Scott's nomination, and showed them to be
freesoil and anti-compromise in their character
He showed that Fillmore and Webster ,oere sacri-
feed for their compromise sentiments, and that
Gen. Scott was nominated because bis doubtful po-
sition made him more acceptable to the enemies of
the compromise. He commented at length upon
Gen. SCOTS letter of acceptance, showing that it
contained no express endorsement of the compro-
mise, but on the contrary papable bid to its ene-
mics. He read that portion of the letter in which
Gen. Scott stated that he will not, in the appoint
ment of officers, require, as test exact conform-
ty to his own opinions. Mr.. N. regarded this as
papable bid held out to the enemies of the fugitive
slave law in the Whig ranks--the men whom Fill
more had prescribed and turned out of Office be-
cause their opinions were not in conformity with his
own upon that law. He thought this was plainly
saying to the enemies Of the compromise that they
would not be prescribed and turned out of Office
because of their opinions. II ioGs this prescription
that had ruined Fillmore at the Norfh.~
Mr.. Nicholson, says the Banner at the time he
made the speech from which the foregoing extract
is taken, one of the Democratic candidate, for
elector for the State at large, and he made the
same speech IN substance all over the State. Yes,
ne Waversed the State, in 1852, everywhere alleg.
ing that Mr.. Fillmore was sacrificed at the Bal
timore Convention on account of his compromise
sentments"-that Mr.. Fillmore had "proscribed
and turned out of Office" at the North the " ene-
mics of the Fugitive Slave law"-and that :" it was
this prescription which had ruined Mr.. Fillmore at
the North"
Having deliberately made these declarations on
every stump in the State in 1852 as Pierce cam
didate for elector, this same A. o. P. Nicholson,
as the editor Of the official organ of President
Pierce, has the baseness to say in 1856:
Mr.. Fillmores abolitionism will suit the North.
Why, sir, you told the people Of Tennessee, in
1884, that Mr. Fillmores compromise senti-
ments," and his turning out of Office certain men
because they were. " the enemies of the the Fugi-
tive Slave law" had ruined him in the North =
