sufficient duration to leave the most favor
lble impression Miss Susan Robinson Is
certainly gifted child-precocious to an al
most painful degree. Her portraitures
though of course tincturcd with the child,
are sugularly perfect. Eivacious, graceful,
pretty, she captures every heart. Her voice
we think, if confined to its natural tone,
would be perfectly audible The effort She
makes to pitch it sometimes, produces a dis

From the Hampstead Democra, The Cairo and Fulton Railroad

We are pleased to observe the almost unani nous sentiment of our people, concerning the ultimate completion of the Cairo and Fulton road. It is now perceived and acknowledged by all that this great enterprise, from its con- nection with the system of northern roads would be supremely useful as we'll as highly productive of the greatest wealth and impor- tance to our State. It has been found in other States that in proportion, railroads are built. land has increased in value. and how could it have happened otherwise? Could that which affords speedy transportation for the products of the soil-that which Is the most instrument tai in increasing the quantity of money in State, and which Is the fathfal handmaid of prosperity, fail to augment the value of our soil-the prolific parent of our wealth? It is astonishing that such an enterprise as the Cairo and Fulton road should ever have had an a1- versary; but 1t Is one among multitude of er- TOTS, that spirit of envy will lead men astrav from the plainest paths of reason and convic. tion. In this connection it affords us much pleasure to observe how fruitless are the at. tempts of some to heap odum upon Mir. Beebe, the indefatigable president of the company, on account of his political connections, and his jealous efforts for the road. He has done and is now accomplishing more for the good of Ar kansas than his prosecutors are even capable of doing, and to the shafts of his slanderers' he can safely say
 < There is an adamantine shield

Recent Elections.

SIGNIFICANT. -The municipal election at Annapolis, Maryland, has resulted in favor of the democrats. What a change, At the last election the Know Nothings carried everything before them in Annapolis.
 The Know Nothings are falling to pieces, in Maryland. Henry Winter Davis vote for Full Ter on the final ballot when Banks or Akin was to be ele ,ted, thus refusing to vote for a southerner,and permitting the election of Banks, the abolitonst, was Know Nottingham enough for Maryland The people of that State are not yet ready to go over to the aboltionists. C5- At the municipal election in Bayou Sa- ra on the Sth inst, E. Fleet, esq. the demo- cratic candidate for mayor, was elected with ont opposition.
 Or The democracy carried the municipal elections in Albany over the Know Nothings The mayor, recorder, justices, common couu- cll, snperntendcnts etc, were elected out of the democratic party. This onens we'll for the presidential election.
 0ET At the municipal election in Springfield. H., on the first inst, the democratic ticket was successful. Mir. Priest was elected mavor.- The election was warmly contested 0J The municipal election in Portsmouth, Va on the oth inst, resulted in the success of the entire democratic ticket by about one hun dred ma ajorlty. Dr. James G. Hodges was elected mayor.
 Or The annual election for State officers in Connecticut resulted as follows:-senate-dc mocratS, 10: all others, II. House of Repres- entatlves--democrats, 99; all others, 127- There no choice for Governor and other State officers; no one of the parties having re- ceived a majority. There were four tickets democratic, whig, republican, and American
 The election last year resulted as follows: For overnor--Ingram, democrat, 27 ,29O; Mi nor, American, 28,078; Dutton, republican, g. l62. "he gislature-Senate, democrats, 3: all others, 18 House of Representatives-de- mocrats 66; all others, 16O.
 The republicans elected their candidate for mayor in Calais, Maine, by two hundred ma jority, and carried four of the five wards for other officers. The result of last year not re- collected.
 ST. LOUIS, MIssoURI-The democratic can- dldate for mayor and other city officers, were elected by large majority. Last year the Americans elected their candidates. CLEVELAND, OHIo.-The democrats elected their ticket.
 ANNAPOLIS, MARYLAND.- Richard Swann, democrat, was elected Mayor by six majority, and a majority of the other democratic candi- dates were elected by smaller majorties. Last year the Americans had one hundred and thr. teen majorty.
 Or The charter elections in Davenport and Dubuque, Iowa, on the 7th inst, went against l the black republicans. The democrats carried l the daY hY declSiNe maiorites

Divide and Conquer.

Mr. EDITOR:-l notice, SIT, that our southern Know Nothings still persist upon one paltrv excuse another in their endeavors to ",livile', the great southern "house against itself" As between the two great sections of the Union, the people of the south ore in He ntinoritY, and it would hurt Know Nothing feelings too ba{. 1t would seem, to suffer the south to be united upon a question which Know Nothngs them selves confess transccnds in importance all others-the issue upon the Kansas ebraska measure.
 Southern Know Nothings charge President Pierce with only p1gesang to be for the south whilst, at the same time, hiS acts clearly demon- strate that his feelings are the other way This is their charge; but man must be hard run for charge to prefer it. Strange that the abo- litioniss do not look upon Mir. Pierce in a more favorable light But how do these Know Noth- ings themselves stand when the same rule is applied to hseir conduct2 For whilst they pro- jess to be for the south-for the Nebraska mea- sure against black republicans, Meir actions, by endeavorng to foment divisions in the south, prove exclusively where heir feelings are.- "Divide and conquer is an old maxium, and southern Know Nothings cannot plead igno- rance of its force
 If the southern Nebreska Know Nothngs are honest in their professions of antagonisIn against northern black republicanism, why do they not fall into the democratic organiza- ton? Will they bring any dishonor upon organization worthy of the name. The Know Nothing party north is effete-they are merely broken squads scattered here and there, with scarcely we'll defined object in view Some are Nebraska men-others don't know so we'll about it'--some are for Fillmore and Donelson -others for some body else-some are against prescribing native Catholics-others are zeal ously for it-some are making the proscriptive policy include foreign born persons already na- turalized-others are for acting only in reference to foreigners yet to come. Know Nothings are sometimes lea'ned upon the word "Catholicity" their principles are indeed most literally anti. Cattohc. They may we'll ridicule the old maxium of "measures and not men," for their short political history exhibits to the county such ludicrous burlesque upon it, as the world never saw before. They are sick of platforms. Of course-sick of standard rules, not knowing whether next week, they will have to swear that "the horse is sixteen feet high" or sixteen inches, and they desire to give their president, Mat is to De, the same latitude
 With what flourish of trumpets and roar ing of cannon last June, did the "mmortal Sam" debouch upon his "eternal platform" from Philadel phia-eight months is long eternity ain't it? How many of these eternal platforms are there now in the Union! Like the devils of old that came out of the kaow nothing among the tombs-ther name is legion; and ain't it "a pity there isn't another herd of s,oine to get rid of them in?

From the Pine Bluff RepubIica Withdrawals.

"We have frequently observed the frmne.s and tenacy with which the members of the American party in this county have always ad- hered to their principles. The reason is very obvious; 1t Is to be found in the fact that our worthy and energetic president always explains to the members initiated those abtruse aud doubtful points, which our opponents have most successfully attacked ."-Plne Bluff Anle- rlcoR.
 Below will be found some of that firmness and tenaci,y with which the members of the American party in this county have always ad- hercd to their principles" "1he reason is very obvious" This paper from which we quote the above, goes on to state that the ener- setlc president of the council always explains to the members initiated "tho>e oJtluse and dO1Jttul points which our opponents have most successfully attacked" The president (bv-the way, who is hep did not "explain" the lab truse points" the late members whose with drawal cards are published below; or, at least, if his potential voice went forth, they seemed not to heed 1t.
 The president may continue to "explain," but from the feeling now getting up against know Nottingham, his explanation will have no welght Wonder if he, the president atore- said, explained to the "members' the cause of Capt. PIke's withdrawal from the Philadel- phia convention, and his address to the people of Arkansas, declining to act with the Know Nothing party, because it is allied with aboli- tionism? If the president did not explain these matters we commend this subject to his consi- iteration in his next lecture to his members Is It not decidedly compliment to the intelli- gence of the order, to say that the president "erplalns' "obstruse to and doubtful points," when they have equal access to the ordinary channels of information that he has?

Paducah, April 9th, 1856.
The Gazette's Labors.

The Gazette, in its last issue, labors at great length to show that RICHARDSON of Illinois is unsound upon the slavery question. It ex- bends whole column and half of type and printers ink on the subject, and then, with all oi Its logic, fails to show that Richardson is as unsouhd as the American national platform
 We can dispose of the case of Mr. Fpller the candidate of the south Americans for sneokor in much fewer words-and we call the attan ton of the editor of the Gazette to the matter On the 18th August, 1849, Fuller wrote the fol- lowing to B. F. Saxton:
 ,' You state in your letter, that the FREESOILERS will hold convention at Hyde Park, on the 3Oth inst There is pretty strOng probability that l will De Tn the held for candE commissioner. and it would certainly AID MY PROSPECTS VERY MATERIALLY to receive NOMINATION FROM YOUR PARTY
 '' dna sa facor gf FREESOIL, free speech. free labor, and free men: BEING A WILMOT PROVI- so MAN UP TO THE HUB, AND UTTERLY OP- POSED TO THE EXTENSION OF SLAVERY 5
 Now we ask the editor of the Gazette to ex- plain how the southern Know Nothings came to vote for a man entertaining such views?- Are the southern Know Nothings tinctured with abolitionism too? Will the editor of the Gazette answer and tell us what confidence the south can repose in party that brings forward 8 candidate who is "a Wizmot proviso man sp to t.e hub, and utterly opposed to te extension cf sloU@yP"

Jones' senator from St. Francis and PoinSe" counties, had withdrawn from the Know No thing party and pledged himself hereafter to act with the democracy, the following resolu' ton was offered and adopted, viz:
 Resolued. That while we disapprove thsI course of the Hon. Wm. A. Jones in becOm-' ing a member of the order of Know Nothings we are yet willing to receive him back into our ranks, with the understanding that he shall ln all time to come, repudiate Know Nothingsm and cooperate zealously and faithfully with the democratic party.
 On motion, the editors of the True Demo- crat and the States Right Democrat were re- quested to publish the proceedings; and, OH further motion, the meeting adjourned.
