A DEAD FA1LURE.-We were returning

stretch their jaws almost to dislocation,

them sing, you would think they were of
that class mentioned in sacred writ, who
"open their mouths wide for the latter
rain" They seem to delight in gutturals
and grimace, fourishes and falsettos.-
One of these men, whose vocal oritice ex-
tended horizontally almost across his face.
applied not long ago to waggish physi-
clan in Philadelphia, to ask his advice as
touching the probable success of an op-
Grafton to which he desired to submit
himself.

the changes of fashion require longer

you can aid me in effecting an alteration
which will give my lips a fuller and freer
play, and my voice more freedom"
Perhaps SO" responded the physician;
"but what do you require What do

my purpose" #..-

He arose, and placing his hand on the
head of the patient, turned it to and fro,

features. -.,..

short pause, land easily but there is a

effect my object. Pray tell me what is

will convey to it an intimation of the ap.
proach of its pursuer. it gazes in another
direction. If there are any wild birds
such as curlews or ravens, in its vicinity
it keeps its eye intently fixed on them
convinced that they will give it a timely
alarm. 1t selects its cover with the great

meeting of the clergy and aymen at the BIZ
BILE house. New York, recently, one por-
ton wished day of fast and prayer to be
appointed, in view Of the present aspect
Of public affairs.
Another portion thought It ought to be 8

affairs, nothing at all was done and the
country was left to save itself by its own
energy, without the benefit Of the clergy.

ing resolutions were offered, which, after some
comments by the proposer, were unanimously
adopted
RESOLVED, That this meeting unqualfedly con-
deInns the conduct of the editor of the Richmond
Whig," who, while protesting 70 advocate the
views of the National American Party, has thought
proper TO pursue course calculated, If not intend
ed TO divide it and thereby prevent its efficient
organization and successful action in the approach
ing Presidential contest.
Resoioed, That however individuals may differ
as to the best means of attaining our common OBJ
ject and advancing the true interest and the honor
OF our country, we see nothing in the views OF
John Minor Bolts, and those advocated by the
/" National American incompatible with the truest
devotion TO the South, and the highest and purest
patriotism.
Resolved, Thatwhile we hope that the weI-tried
patriot aud able statesman, Millard Fillmore, OF
New York may be chosen as the standard-bearer
of the party, we nevertheless owe it to the cause
Of truth and justice to Mr.. Bolts, to declare that
his uniformly conservative and consistent as
politician, and the eminent ability with which he
has sustained himself in the primary assemblies OF
the people, as well asin our own State and Nation
al Legislatures, entite him to the confidence, re-
spect and gratitude of his countrymen.
Resolved That we entirely approve of the dig
ni6ed and conciliatory course pursued by the Ma
tionsl American" in its controversy with the
/" Richmond Whig," by which we think it has en-
titled itself to the confidence and support Of the
party.
Resolped, That we fully endorse and adopt the
principles Of the platform for the party, found in
the American Patrioi." published in Boston, to
wit: "None but Americans to rule America; the
Union must be Preterved; No foreign interference
in American affairs; Inviolability of National
Treaties; No Union of Church and State; Person
al Morality indispensable to Office; An open Bi-
BILE in all Public Schools; Thorough reform OF the
Naturalization Laws A capitation tax to exclude
foreign paupers No appointment of foreigners on
Diplomatic Posts a just Tariff on Imported Lu1u-
ries in all Necessities, Free Trade; Strict Econo-
my in Government"
Resolued, That Messrs A. E. Huff and J. r. @.
Brown be appointed delegates from this district to
the National Convention In Philadelphia, and that
the Hon. John S. Carlile be appointed alternate,
and that our delegate be instructed to favor post
ponement of the nomination for the Presidency
until the 4th of July.
RESOLVED, That the foregoing resolutions be for
warded to the National American for publication,
and the Bedford Sentinel and Chrisiansburg Her
aid be requested to copy.

MrssRs EDIroRs: Will you please answer the
following questions in your excellent papers
No. L.. Has the squatter sovereignty feature OF

No. .. Did the Hon. Howell Cobb, in the House

You will see from your books that am reader
of your paper and intend to be as long as 1t deals
such heavy blows upon the foreign party. You
may differ a little from some of our friends as to
the best policy to be pursued but sincerely be-
leve that your present position is perfectly con-
sistent with your past; and hence no one has any
right to complain. We should all cease little fam
ily g,4arrels, endeavor to promote harmony in our
ranks, and war to the bitter end for our common
principles.
With Fillmore and VIM. r. Smith, or the latter
for President and Henry M. Fuller for Vice, we
will s,lccsed SO mote it be-"
In answer to the first inquiry, we have to
say that the squatter sovereignty principle was
first enunciated by Gen. Cass in his celebrated
Nicholson letter, and has never been incorpo-
rated in any Territorial bill except that for the
organization of Kansas and Nebraska; and to
the second inquiry we answer, that the Hon.
Howell Cobb said that he considered the
preservation Of the organization Of the Demo
cratic party above the organization Of the
House of Representatives"
