What fellow for discoveries He surpssses
the Rocky mountain adventurer that caught the
bumble-bee on one of the highest peaksI A man
with such prolific fancy can write poetry and ro-
nance Unfortunately for him, but fortunately for
the public, it is only necessary to say that this
discovery is made through the columns of the
Louisville Journal-the same paper that started the
Black Carpet Bag story-to spoil the fiction at
once. We are curious to see what wonderful

CIRCUMSTANCES ALTER CAsEs.--The Chronicle, a
know nothing paper of Augusta, Ga, speaking of
Illinois, says:
Buchanan has carried the State by small ma
iority, but Richardson, the democratic candidate
for Governor, Douglass right bower and chief aid,
his man of all work, and the pet candidate OF the
Pierce Douglas party for Speaker of the House of
Representatives in Congress last winter, has been
defeated by large majority"
The majority for BUCHANAN in Illinois is 9,l64
This the Chronicle calls smslT majority. The
majority for BIssELL over RICHARDSON is ,629.
This the Chronicle calls "large" msjority. In
that papers opinion 5000 is a small msjority for
democrat to be elected by, and 4 900 large one
for democrat to be defeated by. You see, cir
cumstances alter cases, with these know nothings.
Figures announcing the success of their friends
lock more than twice as large as those announcing
their defeat.

DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION.

We have received communications from several
sources suggesting the propriety of postponing
the meeting of the Democratic State Convention
to later period than the 9Th of January, the time
fixed upon by our last Convention, as announced
by the Central Committee in their recent card.
We concur with our correspondents. The 9th
of January Is unquestionkby too soon and the
most inconvenient season Of the year. The Com
mittee, however, acted believing that they had no
discretionary power in the matter, and that if the
time was postponed it must be done by the popular
sentiment of the party. We are satisfied from the
various letters we have received on the subject,
and from conversations with our friends, that such
is the general wish.
tits important that there should be time sufi-
Gent for the attention of the people to be directed
TO the subject, and its business sufficiently cam
vassed to have a full and fair reflection of the
sentiment Of the Democrats throughout the State.
In order to accomplish this end it is also import
ant that all, or large majority, of the counties
should be represented. This cannot be if the Con-
vention meets as early as the 9th Of January. The
people will not have the necessary time for discuss
ing tie subject of its action among themselves. In
the more distant counties they could not conven-
ientiY appoint delegates in time to attend. 1t
would be at the most inClement season, and COM
ing on at the beginning of new year, most Of
persons would be pre- occupied with their own
matters. These, with other reasons that will read
lily suggest themselves. clearly indicate the neces
sty of deferring the Convention to some subse-
quent period.
The only difficulty is in determining what time
that shall be, After having canvassed the matter
pro and con, we have thought il most advisable to
suggest WEDNESDAY, THE 18TH OF APRIL,
as the most suitable. There can be but one OBJ
lection to this Some may think the postpone
ment too long. We think not. The usual time
of opening the canvass for Governor is in May. 1t
gives the candidates ample time to canvass the
State. Three months is as long as any one would
desire to engage in such a contest We think,
therefore, that by adopting the time suggested eve
ry difficulty will be obviated and every important
end accomplished. We throw this out merely as q
suggestion. We shall expect our brethren of the
press and others throughout the State, to respond
to it. that either this or some more suitable time
may be generally agreed upon and understood.

concili story tempers served to molIify and sooth

LEWIS CASS.

When we expressed our deep regret at the loss the
country would sustain in the removal of this dis
tnguished statesman from the Senate of the Unit
ed States, to be succeeded by black republican,
we believed We were expressing the sentiment Of
national men, irrespective of party, throughout the
Southern States. The Banner of this city was
the first to disagree with us. We are gratihed,
however, to find that there are those of the op'
position who cordially respond to cur remarks
Copying portion of our comments, the New Or
leans Bulletin, one of the Oldest and most respect
able journals of the opposition, says:
However much we may differ from Gen. Cass
upon points of political doctrine, we nevertheless
regret with our Nashville Democratic contemporary
the occurrence of the event which will remove
him from his place in the United States Senate.
General Cass ia the oldest member of that body
which but few years 81 nee contained such gal
sxy of shining intellects and splendid patriotism,
and is one of the few remaining occupants OF tie
Senatorial chairs whom the country regards as
statesmen, and to whom it always listens with
respect The present is time when we can lily
afford to dispense with the services OF such man
as Gen. Cass, for none ever doubted his patriotism,
or his devotion to what he considered the best in
tsrests of his country. He has always been
true friend to tie Union, and never failed to give
the note of warning when danger approached the
beautiful citadel of strength and glory. Mourn
full, indeed, will it be to the seats OF Webster
and Cass occupied by the inscriptions small par
tisans that preternstural exctements never fall to
