OLD RUEwI

Prentice, Of the Louisville Journal,
(himsclf noble fellow hates penu-
rious, mean kind Of q man 'the worst
way, hence he drubs 'Old Buck hard.
Hear him on ten cent Jimmy
"Mr. Buchanan's doctrine that our
workingmen ought not to receive more
than ten cents day for their work is
entirely characteristic Of him. He
would be glad to have all his hired mon
work for that price He is notoriously
one Of the meanest and most penurious
men in tho world. Those who know
him well, the people of Lancaster and
others, say that in travelling he is al,
ways inquiring whose turn it is to treat,
never thinking of such a thing as his
own turn. Ex-senator Allen of Ohio,
long known as a Democratic leader in
that State, was questioned by Demo.
cratic company a little before the
Cincinnati convention as to Mr.. Bu.
chanan's chance for the nomination.
Mr.. Allen replied: m~. ..r.. -
lie stands no chance in the world.
Hc is moderate man. lie is a man
of some attainments, and some sense
but he is q contracted man, q LITTLE
man, and proverbially selfish. He is
one of those men who, if there was a
circus i'll his town, would be too stingy
to 60 to the door and pay his quarter to
go in, but would make his way behind
the pavilion, cut hole in the canvass
with his pocket-knife, and steal sight
of the show
The poor creature was too stingy
ever to get married. Is it not very
natural that such a miser should wish
poor folks to work for dime day?

0MINOUa.

-Four times (says the Louisville Jour-
nall the Democratic party have selec
ed candidate for the Vice Presiden cy
from Kentucky, and each time partic-
ularly with the view Of carrying the
State for their ticket. In 1886, they
nominated Richard M. johnson to car
'ry Kentucky and they failed. In 40
they nominated the Tocumseh- Killer,
and failed, not only in Kentucky, but
almost everywhere else. In 1848,
they nominated Gen. VIM. 0. Butler,
and failed again to carry Kentucky or
to elect their candidates. In 1856,
they have nominated John G. Breckin-
ridge, and they will again fail most ia
gloriously everywhere. Thus, upon
the three former occasions, when the
Democratic party have nominated o
candidate for Vice President specially
with view of carrying the State, they
have failed to do sos Twice out of
three times they have been defeated
throughout tho Union, and this time
it will be as it was in 40 and '48, for,
where Col. Dick johnson and General
Butler failed, Breckenridge will surely
be overwhelmed. ~ '

In what sad contrast. is the above let
ter, compared with the follow ing views
of an old fashioned Democrat named
Thomas Jefferson, commonly called the
Great Apostle of American Democracy.
n"The President Of the United States
has seen with dissatisfaction, officers of
the General Government taking. on va
rious occasions, active parts in elections
OF public functionaries, whether Of the
General or of the State Government
Freedom of election being essential to
the mutual independence of Govern
ments, and of the different branches of
the same Government, 40 vitally cher
ished by most Of our Constitutions, it is
deemed improper for officers depending
on the Executive of the Union to at.
tempt to control or influence the free
exercise of the elective right. lam in.
structed, therefore to notify all officers
within my department holding their ap.
pointments under the authority of the
President directly and to desire the IN
to notify TO all subordinate to .them.-
The right of any officer to give his vote
at election as a qualified citizen, is not
meant to be restrained. nor however Civ
en-. shall it have any effect to his preju-
dicej but.itis expected that he will not
attempt to influence the votes of others,
nor take any part in the business of
electioneering. that being deemed in
consistent with the spirit of the Consli-
tuition and his duties to it,
What better proof than the above
contrast could he presented to show that
modern Democracy is spurious, and a
base counterfeit of the name it bears.

THE WHIGS OF MARYLAND.

The Whig State Convention of Ma
ryland met in Baltimore on Thursday
tho 10th instant, a large majority of
the counties of the State being repre-
sented. A series of resolutions, repor-
teddy a committee, were adopted uhan-
mously and enthusiastically. The res
solutions declare that both the princi-
pies and candidate of the Republican
party are unworthy the support Of the
National Wings Of Maryland; "that
the platform of the Democratic party.
ofwhich James Buchanan has declared
himself the embodiment, proclaims doc
trincs and purposes with regard to our
foreign policy calculated to tarnish the
national character" &C., that as one
of tho participators of the Ostend Con-
ference, Mr.. Buchanan is an unsafe
man to be entrusted with the Execu-
tive power of the country; and that in
the present position of the Democratic
party and it's candidates, there is no.
thing that promises a termination of
sectional agitation. We give the fol-
ChIiICs
7. That as Wings who delighted to
honor Henry Clay whilst living, and
revere his memory as one Of the great
and good men of the nation-knowing
him to have been honest, pure, patriot
ic, and devoted to the glory of our
common country-we regard James
Buchanna as the man who, above all
others, knew the utter. falsity of the
calumnious charge of "bargain and
corruption" and who, through parti-
zan animosity, not only withheld his
testimony but indirectly countenanced
and promulgated the charge. ...
8. That We recognize Millard Fill
more as one from whose antecedents
the country can expect, in full security
a truly national Administrations firm,
moderate and tranquil-an Admins
tration equal and impartial to the North
and the South, regardless of all section
al issues--faithful to the Constitution
and the laws---a National man With
national principles--whoso conserva-
tive character and views are calculated
to allay the sectional strife that now
threatens the stability of the Union, by
compromise, concession, and a purpose
single to hewelfare, the harmony and
the prosperity of the whole country.
10. That in the Hon. Millard Fill
more we recognize consistent & con-
servatiye statesman--in whose whole
political career & history, there is no.
thing to fear from excessive partizan-
ship, national mischief making, or self
aggrandizemcnt--but every thing to
expect that will tend to the national
tranquility, and the honor and glory of
our common country--and in the Ian
guagc of Henry Clay, We commend his
claims for election on the ground "that
he has administered the Executive gov
ernment with signal success and abili-
ty-he has been tried and found true,
faithful, honest and conscientious" /

of Judge Mclean in Philadelphia, that
he has declared that Mr.. Fillmore is by
far the most safe and respectable can
didate for President, an,stbat he feels
compelled to support him. Judge Nc
Lean has large number of devoted
friends and admirers who have unboun-
ded confidence in his sagacity and pat
riotism, and will go with him in sup
porting Fillmore. The sound, conser-
yatiye men every where will give their
support to the American candidate -

Presidency, has placed himself upon
purely national ground, and has decls-

4 CHURCH DIFFIcULTY.-We rerreS
to learn from several of our exchange
papers that very serious difficulty has
arisen among the ministers of the Me-.
thodist Episcopal church in New York
arising from the removal of the Rev.
Mr.. Hosmer, the former editor of the
Northern Christian Advocate, and the
appointment Of the Rev. f. G.. Hib-
bard, d. D. to that Office. The North
ern Christian Advocate is published at
Auburn, and is under the patronage,
chiefly Of five Of the annual conferen.
cet, viz: the Oneida, Black River,
Genhcssee, East Gennessee, and Wyo.
ming. The General Conference at
their late session made the change, and
a majority, it seems, of the conferen-
ces above named are displcascd at the
removal Of Mr.. Hosmer. A Conven-
ton has recently been held at Syra-
cuse to consider the matter, and after
q protracted session, in which it was
stated that the change was made at tho
instance of ministers from Baltimore
and other "border conferences" they
came to the conclusion to establish an
other paper, to be called the GENITAL
New York Independent" The Rev.
MIR. Mattcson, formerly of this city,
writes that a"Central New York Pub
fishing Association" has been formed,
with capital stock Of $50, 900, for the
purpose of establishing the proposed
newspaper. 1t is said that $4, 900
were subscribed on the spot.-N. z.

A TRUE CIvILIzER.-It is told of

A TRUE CIvILIzER.-It is told of q
late missionary to Turkey, that, find
ing his converts prescribed in their re-
lations as business men, By the author
tiles of the church which they had left,
he borrowed ten thousand dollars, bot
a flour mill, and engaged in the max
ing of bread, in order to give employ
ment to his neophytcs. The bread he
manufactured proved SO much superior
to that GENERALLY sold at Constantine
ple-for it was there that he sought his
market-that, before long, he had so
large demand for it as to give live
lihood to nearly all his conycrts.-
When the Eastern war broke out, and
the British troops landed at Scutari,
good bread could not be had at first for
the soldiers. In this emergency, the
missionary stepped forward and offered
to contract to furnish bread to the En-
glsh. His tender was accepted and
the contract signed. The Sultan, find
ing what good bread was made for the
British Army, sent for the bakers who
supplied his own, and compelled them
to initiate the missionary. In the two
years of the war, the mill, thus begun
to feed few converts, earned thous-
ands of dollars, which have been worth
lily dedicated, we believe, in building
school houses in Turkey. .
The same Missionary, visiting the
barracks at Scutari, found the soldiers
dying there by hundreds, and so little
care taken of thcm-this was before
Miss Nightingalc's arriyal-that their
linen often remained unchanged for
weeks. He found also that the refuse
clothes were castinto separate apart
mcnt, where they lay fostering, rotting
and tainting the atmosphere. He ask
ed why this was. The British author
tiles answered that they could get no
body to wash the clothes, for fear of
infection. He offered Immediately to
undertake the job, But the prejudices
of the Turks proved greater than even
he, who had lived among them for cigh-
teen years, had been led to expect
They cried out, when they saw clothes,
"The plague, tho plague" and refused
to work. In this crisis, he invented
rude washing machine, which he fixed
on the side Of a ruthing stream, so that
the articles might be partially washed
without the Intervention of hand labor.
After this there was no difficulty. The
labor saving washing machine Of the
Yankee Missionary is still in use at
Seutari, and will probably remain so,
while there is washing to be done. t.
ven though the original necessity for it
hos passed away.--Pub. ledger.
