GREAT ENTHUSIASM FOR BUCHANAN
There was to be pole raising by the
Buchaniers at Alliance, Ohio, on Satur
day, and extra pains were taken to gel
out crowd. Invitations were sent te
Canton and Massillon : extra cars were
put on the railroad, and the fare was re-
duced to accommodate the expected
crowd; but, after all, only three passen-
gers occupied the extra cars. and the pro.
cession to the pole raising numbered 90
all told. Great enthusiasm for Buchanan
in Ohio !-PiHsburgA Gazette.

The DiSuniOuiSfs.

"Who charges the Republican party
with seeking to bring about dissolution
of the Union ?" inquired Col. Henry S.

to the question" tell you who are
the men. They are the unhung nulli6.
ers of South Carolina, with Gen. Jackson s
halters still around their necks
True, to the letter. 1t is remarkable
fact that the larger share of this tende
solicitude for the Union comes from the
only State that ever tried to get cut of it,
South Carolina. Even Bully Brooks
is alarmed for the safety of the Union,
and in bis letter ratifying Buchanan's s
nomination, talks very feelingly about
the temple of liberty crumbling to de
cay" unless the old Federalist is elected.
But some of the bully's friends, do not
share in his intense devotion to the Union.
On the 4th of July. sort of Brooks
glorifcation gathering took place at
Blackville "a very appropriate name in
South Carolina. and the following senti-
ment, among numerous others of like
character, was offered:
By Capt. J. Lancaster: THE UNION !;
May it speedily be dissolved, and the
Hon. p. s. Brooks the first President Of
the Southern Republic"
This shows how these Hotspurs value

CHARGES AGAINST FREMoNr.--Between
the Democratic and Fillmore organs, Col.
Fremont is made out the most extraordi-
nary man in the world. Taking them as
they come. it appears that he is Catho-
lie and believes in transubstantiation, and
in the bones of St. Quietus-that he is a
STAKEHOLDER, and an akolitionist-that he
is rich enough to buy up conventions and
newspaper presses. and still SO poor that
he can't raise FIVE dollars in Wall street
that he never did anything for the con-
quest of California, whatever may be re-
corded in the official praises of Mr.. Marcy
when Secretary Of War-that this same
Fremont who is Catholic, is also Know
Nothing. and has pledged himself to their
cause. In word he is represented as
this thing, that thing. as everything, and
as nothing at all. 1t is evident, howev-
er, that it will require hard riding to run
him down, for he gathers wind. speed and
strength as he goes. The splendid run
of "old Tippecanoe and Tyler too" did
not open more auspiciously. No use to-
chatter about it. Fremont is ahead, and
is only just beginning to let out. When
the popular tide sets in a particular direc-
ton, who shall turn i: away? "It never
rains but it pours. ."--Neso York Herald.

MUSICAL PRAorICEs AM0NG BIRDs.

Many people imagine that birds sing by instinct
and their songs come TO them without any labor or
practice. But oInithoiogists, who have made the
AahJts OF ihe teuthered tribes q ltestut ~, hold %
different theory, and tell of long and laborious prac
lice lu species and individuals tO acquire facility
and compass of song. The following information
from a practical observer win be new to many Of
ear leaders
Birds all have their peculiar ways Of singing.
Some have % mouotuuous song, as the bay-wiuged
sparrow. The yellow-bird has q continuous chat
ter, without any particular form of song. The cat
bird is a mocler. The golden-robin has a song of
its own but each one may have q song Of his own
though those Of the same locality are apt to sing
the same tune. The hcrnit-thrush has "a round col
variations, perhaps the sweetost singer Of the
lauthgred ch0iI. But the soug-sparruw has the
most remarkable characteristic Of song Of any
bird that sings.
Every male s1ngsparrow has seven independent
songs uf its own, no two having the same notes
throughout, Trough sometimes, us II by accident,
they may hit upon one or more q the same.
SIX years ego ibis spring l first made the dis.oy-

Perhaps next he would sing No. . then, perhaps
