paper has heretofore been an advocate of Ameri-
canism and its editor, John Cunningham, ESQ.,,
was delegate to and one Of the vice presidents of
the first Philadelphia and Know Nothing Conven-
ton. The New Bedford (dass) Express, the Know
Nothing organ, has recanted, seen the error of its
way, and hoisted the Democratic flag of " Buck and
Breck." The paper is well got up, and ably edited
The Democrats Of New Bedford deserve to be EN-.
balmed for the energy and devotion and liberality
with which they keep up their organization in that
hot bed Of feesoilism and federalism.
FIVE HUNDRED Mass MEEr1NGs.-Five hundred
democratic meetings have been held in the State of
Kentucky since the nomination of Buchanan and
Breckenridge.
TREMENDOUS SrAMPEDE-Hon. Archie Dixon
spoke in Union county, KY, few days since, when
forty know nothngs withdrew from the order, and
gave in their adhesion to the democracy.

apass at one of the men, just grazing his clothes
with his claws. Mr.. Payne took an Ak handed
down from the Geneva, and, getting behind him,
gave him blow on the head, that completely
smashed in his skull. We then pulled to the
Adriatic with our prize, proud enough, you
may be sure. of the feat we had performed In
taking him.
All this did not occupy over twenty minutes,
and no one on board the brig mistrusted what
We were about until we came alongside with the
bear. The blow on his skull did not kill him.
although it knocked him down, and rendered
him har mless. So tenacious WAS he of life, that
he did not die till his jugular artery had been
cut some ten minutes, and he had lost some
gallons of blood. We had no means of weigh
ing him, but he was variously estimated by those
who saw him, and who pretended to be Judges,
at from three hundred and fifty to FIVE hundred
pounds.
As he hung up dressed, his carcass measured,
nom the gambrels to the tip of the nose little
over seven feet. One Of his arms with the
shoulder weighed thirty. seven pounds. His
hide measured, stretched out to dry, six feet
seven inches across the shoulders between the
paws, and four feet eight inches across the
belly. French pioneer says he is the largest
bear of the kind he ever saw, and the first killed
by the whites in that region. heard, however,
from another source, that some years since one
was attacked in the water in that vicinity, drove
the attacking party out of the boat, to which he
betook himself, and was shot while quietly en-
joying the possession Of his prize, by some
hunters, who happened to be near by, and came
in another boat to the rescue of the drowning
fugitives. JB. HALL.

advantages and disadvantages, the doctrines,
discipline, and operations, of the various church
es, the character Of American preaching, revi-
walls, and a variety of matter on kindred topics.
DR.. Baird is well known as shrewd and careful
observer. and having travelled under peculiar
facilities of becoming acquainted with the views
of the various Governments in Europe on
the subject of religion, no man could better
be prepared to touch the proper springs that
can be there reached by any development of
religious influences in the United States.
Though decided in his own opinions, and of
course contemplating the aspects and bearing
of the subject from such point of view, yet
all who know the amiable author, know too of
his liberal and candid spirit. If he has erred
in his judgments of any class or denomination
in the work before us, no one we believe will
withhold from him the praise of a sincere de-
termination to be truthful and just. The kind
ly feelings he manifests in his public addresses
are stamped on the pages of this book. Of
course, some will differ with him on various
subjects of which he has treated, but all, we
trust, will feel that it is work which, as a
book of reference, fills an important place. DR..
Baird has also availed himself of the aid of a
number of eminent clergymen of different de-
nominations, to render his work still more COM
plete, and secure himself from the charge of
Partially. The sources of authority to which
he has had recourse, enhance its value; and
after diligent research, and labor of 80 many
years in revision, he has made rather new
work than a new edition of an old one. His
style is always clear and forcible as is needed
the statistics condensed, and the remarks most
judicious; and we doubt not that it will have,
like the earlier work, wide circulation at
home and Abroad greater one indeed, we
hope, as the facilities for the purpose have in
creased, and the disposition to read is growing
more and more eager.

INTERESTING REFORM.

The following striking temperance story we
find ahoat in our exchanges. There is many
a man with as strong an appetite for rum as
this man, but who is not so fortunate as to have
the Maine law so summarily and firmly admin
istered at the right time. Could this outside
help only have been at hand, many thousands
of drunkards, once apparently reformed, would
not be filling dishonored graves:
"Au intelligent, wealthy man, who did not
drink in society, nor habitually at home, had
room in his mansion in which, as often as three
or four times year, he would gorge himself
with liquor. When he found his craving for
rum coming on, he would lock himself up in
that room until 'the scale was finished. The
appearance of this room, at the close of one of
these sprees, was disgustingly filthy.
IA friend, who knew his habits remonstra-
ted with him, but was told that reform was i'm
possible, so irresistible was his craving for rum
at certain times. His friend begged him to
try. His two sons (ffteen and seventeen years
of sge) earnestly pressed the appeal. At last
the man consented to try, and drawing from
his pocket key, said to bis elder son: Here
is the key to the liquor closet will you take it.
and promise me, on no condition, and for no
violence with which / may threaten you, to give
it up when / demand it? The boy, knowing
how fnrious his father was on these occasions,
declined the trust. The father then asked the
younger son Ia boy of uncommon nerve) the
same question, and he promptly replied, / will
"For few weeks, things went on smoothly /;
but one day the father came home at an unu-
sual hour. His manner betokened that his
appetite was gnawing and craving. He called
his younger SON, and demanded the key to the
liquor closet, but was refused firmly. The re.
fusal maddened him, and, seizing some weapon,
he sprang at his son. For a moment he stood
over him with glaring eyes, and insane with
rage, but the young hero never quailed. Fix.
ing his firm but fearful eyes on his father, he
said: Father, promised you that would not
give you that key, no matter what violence you
might threaten; and now you may kill me,
but l will never give you that keyl' Instantly
the weapon dropped from the mans hand, and,
as he himself expressed it, The appetite for
liquor seemed TO abandon me, before the noble
irmness of my son. he was reclaimed, and
never fell. His cure was radical and thorough"

Tom MooRE's PoLITIcs.-The subjoined live

time that the representation of Limerick was

TO state what party he supported.
When thus his promptly ran,
