RAINY-DAY THOUGHTS.

We should be able to derive instruction
from every object and event There is no
bbject'so great, or SO minute, and no event
so important; or so trivial, butit may con-
yey some wholesome lesson-speak to us
Of something beyond itself. God has SO
arranged mans Internal faculties, in rela-
ton to external objects. that the latter be-
comes, if rightly improved. instructors Of
the former. Man is superior to every 9TH
er earthly creature, and nature has for its
ultimate object his development.
tits not my object now to speak upon
this general theme, but to notice one par
ticulaf instance OF ITS truthfulness. If the
whole external universe is related to us,
surely every particle Of which it is com
posed, must be related also. There is no
one SO lifeess, and dull, as to derive no in
struction from the mightywaters of the

Fillmore Stock Rising.

The New York Mirror is known to many of our readers as an old, conservative silver grey whig paper. It was fed and fattened from the public crib so long as Gen. TAYLOR and MT. FILLMORE carried the keys, and by way of showing its gratitude it has now gone over to the black republicans. The following are the reasons it assigns for the course it has taken
 "After fighting the battle of the South for twelve long years, defending its political rights, domestic institutions, social character, manners and habits on all occasions, recent occurrences have convinced us that the time has come for the North, with its superior numbers, intelli- gence, wealth and power, to take stand, firm and fixed as its granite hills, against the threat ening, bullying, beating, skull breaking spirit of the South, "a spirit that trampleS on compromises; violates the sacred freedom oi parliamentary debate; and murders the settlers upon our common soil for simply opposing by voice and vote, the fastening of slavery IApon a free and virgin Territory.
 As the representative of northern feeling aroused by series of unwonted outrages on the part of Southern politicians and counte. nanced by the Pierce administration, John Charles Fremont has been selected as candi date for the Presidency. In the great emer-

Spain and the United States.

The Washington correspondent of the New York Journal of Commerce, in his letter o1 July 18th, writes as follows:
 The government of Spain has given an an. swer to our minister, Mir. Dodge, upon the seve- ra points which he was instructed to present to that government, for the settlement of past and the prevention of future difficulties This government urged first, the establishment in Cuba of some tribunal or authority whereby questions of an irritating nature arising between citizens or authorities of the United States and the authorities of Cuba, might be speedily set tied, without the delay and embarrassment of reference of the subject to the home govern ment at Madrid.
 Second, our government ask for the removal ot certain restrictions and endorsements from the commerce of our citizens with Cuba; and,
 Third, for the adjustment of the claims of American citizens upon the Spanish govern- ment for spoliations and wrongs committed upon them by Cuban authorities, at various times.
 In regard to the first demand the Spanish government replies, through Mir. Dodge, that it cannot depute imperial authority to any of its officers in Cuba, for Mat would be tantamount, it says, to rendering the island independenE- of; the Spanish crown.
 Concerning the second point the government of Spain promises to enter into reasonable ar engagements.
 But as to our reclamations, Spain demurs.- The present government could not allow them without hazarding its popularity, and giving offence to the country. Under the late admi- nistration, the Black Warrior claim was ad- mitted and paid, to the extent of forty thou sand dollars; and it was a subject of earnest reproduction in the Cortes, and no more such concessions will be readily made.
 The Espartero government takes high and naughty stand in its foreign relations, as we have lately seen in regard to its difficulty with Mexico. To guard Cuba with jealous eye, is one of the most decided points in its policy; and in this object, it is no doubt we'll assured of sympathy and support from the governments of France and England. No reform of the in- ternal administration of Cuba is contemplated or will be allowed, which would have ten dency to promote the views of the disaffected CreoleS

The Canvass in Ohio.

Our country exchanges, from different parts of the State, bring fattering accounts of the prospects of the democracy in their localities. The people will no longer be delnded by the miserable sectional and sectarian issues with which they were surfeited in 1854 and 1855, and are rapidly returning to the true faith.
 The democratic paper in Ashland county speaks thus of the prospects there. It says:
 "Never, we can say in all condor, have the masses exhibited such determination to con- quer as they do in this country at the present time. From every direction we hear of pole raisings and neighborhood gatherings, the spontaneous outbursts of enthusiasm among the people themselves for Buck and Breck.- l The central committee from present appear ances, will not be able to supply half the de- mands made upon them for speakers. Within the last three weeks we have visited good portion of the county, and in every township numerous changes in our favor are mentioned and large increase over the vote of last year is confidently predicted"
 It predicts majority in Ashland for Bu- chanan of at least five hundred, although Chase carried 1t last fall. The Holmes county Far mer says that 1t never saw as much enthusias- ism as now animates the democracy in that county. It adds:
 "Our friends throughout the State may count on larger democratic majority in little Holmes this fall than she has ever given before We will more than double our opponents in the number of votes boiled. There is no sight whatever for Fillmore in this county. All the old.line whigs who repudiate Fremont are going for Buchanan and Breclipridge, and there are large number of this class among the most prominent of whom is Thomas Armor, esq, a lawyer of considerable talent and expe- rlence, and who for many years was one of the principal leaders of the whig party. There IS now none more ardent in the support of the democratic ticket"
 The Hillsborough Gazette has the following good news from Highland. After giving the names ot many eminent old-li whiys who are now for Buchanan, it says:
 "We could name scores of other gentlemen If we chose, who have been prominent local leaders in the old whig party, but who are now supporting Buchanan and Breckinridse with all their might In every township in the county, almost, some one who has been particularly prominent as an old whig is now equally so as q democrat standing upright among his prostrate brethern, and resolutey refusing to bow the knee to Baal'"
 It is predicted that Buchanan will carry Highland county by majority of from five to eight hundred.
 These are but samples of the general intelli- gence which reaches us from all parts of Ohio, and which indicates that she will be triumph antly redeemed. .-Cln. Enq

Merchant.S GarcIiug Oil.

This valuable medicine combines the neces- sary qualities to entlte 1t to public favor. Long experience furnishes ample testimony that as Linlment adapted to meet the wants and emer- gences of all classes, Merchants Gayq7inq OH in its appropriateness to both man and beast, merits the appreciation with which it is re- ceivcd.
 Possessing in high degree the properties of an anodyne and restorative, it has wonderful influence over many painful diseases. Its great efficacy to heal is attributable 70 the chemical combination of the choice ingredients of which it is compounded. See advertisement in an- other column.
 OPINIONS OF THE PUBLIC PRESS.
 From the Watertown (Wis) Dem, July 26. '56.
 MERCHANTS GARGL1NG Om.-There is no medicine that has better stood the test of long and severe experience than Merchants Gargling Oil. It is manufactured in Lockport, N. Y., and has gradually worked its way into public favor and general use where its merits are known, because it does really possess the good qualities that are claimed for it. For all cases in which a liniment is required, it is unsurpas- sed and unequaled It has been long and ex- tensively tried, and few indeed have been tn , instances in which it has not produced the de- sired result. As remedy for animals it is in- diSpensable, and far superior to anything before the public. Wedo not speak of this medicine in these terms because we have any interested motive for so doing, but because we have had opportunities to know that it is really valuable preparation, without any humbug about it, and should be in the possession of every farmer who has anything to do with horses or cattle It Is for their benefit that we call attention to it. and state that it may now be found for sale at Sprague & Pett's in this city, who are the re- gular agents for 1t. All who have used it con- cur in the opinion that it is really the best thing for the purposes for which it was intended, that has ever been presented for universal use.
