mind, while disdaining oil narrow and sectional
views, and has been alone among the monthly pc
riodicals of America in defence Of the peculiar

fee it will still be devoted, and will be prompt to
repel assaults upon the South, whether they come
under the specious garb Of felton, or in the direct
form of anti-savery pamphlets. At this critical
juncture, while our enemies ore employing litera-
ture as their most potent weapons Of attack, the
Southern people will surely not withhold their
encouragement from work whose aim it shall be

Sketches, Novels, Tales, Travels, Essays, Poems,
Critiques, and Papers on the Army, Navy, and

very effectually excluded the peach worm,
by digging basin around the foot of the

four inches deep, and then pouring into this
basin very thick whitewash, made of fresh
lime, and suffered to stand one day before
applying.

HI III G GATHERING The Know -Nothinrs
had very respectable gathering last eve

Whitman, Esq, one of the XIII nominees
for Member of Congress. He is a good
looking young man and makes n tolerably
fair speech. having committed Gov Foote'S
harangue to memory; "mule team" and all.
1t is matter Of surprise to US how any man
possessing a moderate share of common
sense, as we presume Mr.. Whitman does,
can stand up before reading and intelli
gent audience, and assert that each steamer
arriving from the east, brings intelligence
which renders it certain that both Fremont
and Filmore's chances of election are supe-
rior to those Of Buchanan The unfornate
lunatic in our insane asylum, who repre-
sents himself as Jesus Christ. has some ex-
cuse for his assertion, for he is insane but
we know not what excuse could be urged in
favor OF man aspiring to Congressional
honors, who talks quite as wildly concerning
political matters. Mr. Whitman touched
very gingerly on the epublicans-wouldn't
offend the sensibilities of any gentleman by
calling them BLACK Republicans He evil

was the enemy the contemplate and frag-
mentary, oath bound institution. He was
right for once. The Democracy are opposed
to his dark lantern concern He was in
favor Of the compromises of 1850, and of the
people of the territories forming their own
institutions, but opposed the repeal of the
Missouri compromise. the existence of which
deprived the people of the right to form
their own in certain territory. A fine posi
ton for Congressman, truly! The whole
affair was the most dull md spiritless of the
season One ardent X. N. got sore lung
IN the endeavor to raise cheer during Mr..
Whitman's speech. There was faint dem
onstration when he ascended the stand and
tremendous applause when he retired, as he
reclted a quotation from Webster's Union
speech. The meeting was also addressed by
Messrs. Jaynes and Pitzer. The three
speakers together occupied about one hour
aud half, and closed at quarter to nine
. clock. There were just thirty-one per-
sons on the ground, as Mr.. Pizter closed his
speech.
