Periodical Literature.

We are in receipt Of those excel
lent British magazines, Blackwood,
Edinburgh, Westminster and North
British, republished by Leonard Scott
e. Co., No. sd, Gold street, New Y ork.
We have to say that it is quite strange
that these periodicals are not more
generally taken by the tasteful read
crs of this section Of the country
The friends of fictitious literature
need not excuse themselves for their
proftcss indulgence in novel reading
by saying that the beauty Of style at
tracts them, and that such works pre-
sent advantages in that respect nuai-
Minable clScwhcrc. 1t is not so. These
monthlics are written in the best style
that the English language can com
mand, and valuable information is
found in them which we will say is
"unattainable elscwhcre.' The best
literary talent in England and Scot
land is employed to contribute to these
works, and every subject Of interest
now before the world is ably and crit
icallyrcviewed. One copy of either
of them is worth more than all the
scum that floats on the sea of fiction.
There is nothing else which can cure
the dcpraved literary taste of our
country but works Of this kind, and
drive from our tables the intoxicating
novels Of the day, whether in the form
of books, pamphlets, or newspapers.
Every family at least should take one
or more of these excellent periodicals.

STEALING OUR TuUNDER--A BAIT FOR
OLD LINE WmGs.-Becausc the demo-
Gratis have discovered that Gen. Jack
sons good opinion Of Maj. Donelson
has some weight in Maj. DIS favor in
the coming election, they have placed
II confidential friend Of Mr.. Clay, his
executor, upon their ticket for Vice
Presidency. 1t wont do--what a
friend of Mr.. Clay in company with
James Buchanan! They must not dis
cuss the question of "bargain and in
triguc," it might prove to be an apple
of discord.

A Hard Case.

The Parkersburg Gazette, abiding
to the difficulty experienced by the 10.
cefocos in finding grounds for opposing
Mr.. Fillmore, remarks:
"Thc truth is, Mr.. Fillmore, we must
confess, is rather "hard case" Al
most any other man has some vulner-
able point, personally or politically,
which might be successfully assailed.
But his exalted private character, his
unyelding integrity, and his consist
ent, patriotic and national course,
while President of the United States,
are familiar to the country, and the
scurrilous and abusive mode of war
fare usually resortcd to by anti-Amer-
icanism will prove unavailing.
The locos also pretend to believe
that Mr.. Fillmore will not accept the
nomination. Let them not clay that
ilattcring JUNCTION to their SOUL for as
certain as the sun will rise tomorrow,
Willard Fillmore will be the standard
bearer ofthe American party in the
coming campaign.
MIR. Fillmore is q hard case in an
other respectable is not electionering
and will not electioneer for the office.
He thinks "the Office should seek the
man, and not man the Office lie is
unassailable, therefore, in this respect.
He is content to let the public do as
they think best If they desire his SER
vices he isready to serve them at their
call; but if they prefer fourth or fifth
rate man, some one who runs round
the country counting and cajoling them
and promising offices to those trading
politicians and unprincipled dema-
gogues who are ready to support the
greatest rowdy and most INSCRIPTIONS
aspirant, upon the promise of a good
share Of "the spoils,' they can do So
he will say naught to the contrary
He neither seeks nor shuns the Presi.
dency. In this, as in other things,
Washington is his great cyampIar.--

RANDoLpu's SARCAsM.--One time a
young man attempted to make his ac-
quaintance. He obtained an intro
duction, and amongst the frs remarks
said:

Randolph

reply.
Another one twitied him us to his

The Railroad.

In regard to the Railroad meeting
held in this place on Saturday last.
the Fayetteville Observer says: 1--WE
understand that the Railroad meeting
at Winchester, last Saturday, was
well attended, and that the best feel
ing animated all who were present.
The Company will proceed, with as
little delay as possible, to complete
the Road to thu State line, whence
the Alabamians will take it to the
Tennessee River. The route from
this place to the Rock Spring was re-
ceived as a part of the main trunk
An engineer will soon pass over the
line to this place to survey the route.
Gen. Farquharson was appointed agent
to open books to receive subscriptions
for stock in Lincoln county. A care
full estimate shows, we learn, that
seventy-fve thousand dollars, in addi-
ton to the State aid, will be sufficient
to build the Road from Fayetteville to
the Rock Spring. That that amount
can be readily raised in Lincoln, no
one doubts. The right spirit is among
the people--they see the Importance
of this enterprise, and will carry it
through to a successful termination"
The following is the conclusion of
Gen. Walkers written approval of the
decision of the court martial which tri-
ed Col. Schlessinger.
The sentence of the Court on the
specifications and charges preferred
against Col. Shlessinger, of end Rifles,
is approved; and he is, therefore, de-
graded from the rank of Colonel, will

and will be published as such through

The Lancaster Speech.
DczlDered July All, 1855, by
JAMES BUCHANAN.

AMES DUCllANAN.
We have not time now to give what
Mr.. Buchanan said in denunciation Of
the Democratic party, but will make
few extracts in relation to his opin-
ion olforcign influence. "We are a.
iraid to give both at once for fear our
opponents couldn't bore it," We quote
now only few fragments Of that Gel
ebratcd speech, and would ask if any
thing has happened in the country to
change our policy toward foreigners,
or what las Mr.. b. learned to cause a
change Of opinion in regard to that
class Of pcopIe2 Mr.. Buchanan said:
ABOVE ALL WE OUGHT TO
DRIVE FROM OUR SHORES FOR
EIGN INFLUENCE AND CHERISH
EXCLUSIVE AMERICAN FEEL
lNGS. FOREIGN INFLUENCE
HAS BEEN IN EVERY AGE THE
CURSE OF REPUBLICS. HER
JAUNDiCED SEES ALL THINGS
IN FALSE COLORS The thick at
mosphere ofprejudice, by which she is
forever surrounded, EXCLUDES FROM Her
SIGHT THE LIGHT OF REASON.
Whilst she worships the nation
which she favors for IFS very crimes,
she curses the enemy of that nation
even for their virtues. In every age
she has marched before the enemies of
her country proclaiming peace when
there was no peace, and Iulling its de-
tenders into fatal security, while the
iron hand Of despotism has been aim
ing a dcath-blow at their libertcs.-I
Already has our infant republic felt
her whitening influence. Already has
she involved us in war which has
nearl y cost our existence.
Let us then learn wisdom from ex-
pcriencc, and forever Danish the Gcnd
from our society.
The greater part OF those foreigners
who would be affected by it had long
been their earnest friends, they had
been one Of the great means Of elcva-
ting the present (democratic) ruling
party, and it would have been migrate
full for that party to abandon them
lie says foreign influence controls
the administration:
"Supcrlicial Observers may suppose
this to have been the real source Of the |
war, but whosOevcr will carefully and |
examine the history of our
country, will find its true origin to
have been far different. 1t took its
rise from the overweening parliality
which the Democratic party have uni |
!ormIy shown for France, and the con-
5cqucnt hatred which they felt against
her great adversary, England. To Sc
cure this foreign feeling has been the
labor of their leaders for more than
twenty years, and we'll have they been
'cpaid for their trouble, for it has been
'ne Of their principal causes Of intro
lucing and continuing them in power.
Immediately before the war, this for-
.ign mG,cncc comple'e|y emJodied ITSELF
OM evcry political feeling ofa mgjori-
y Of the pcoplc. Particularly IN tile
West, IT'S coicc Uus heard so loM al the
;eut Of Government, that the President
vas obliged to yield to its dictate or
'ctirc from Office. The choice in this
Instance was easily made by a man
,MadisoH who preferred his private
interest to the public good. We were,
therefore,, hurried into the war entire
g unprcDarcd."

A RENARKABLE SMUGGLING CASE "A sin.
gular trial lately occurred in Liverpool, in the
course of which it was proved that a respect
able merchant, or rather, merchant Of res.
pectable standing in Manchester, named Bren-
nan, having a house in New York city, had
for many years, been in the habit of smuggling
silk goods into the latter port in hampers.
1t seems that he had made en- arrangement
with clerk in the employ of the agent Of one
of the lines of passenger ships, through whose
connivance he had been enabled to carry on
avery successful smuggling business. Three
of the hampers having failed to reach their
destination, the Manchester merchant brought
suit against the clerk to recover the value
of their contents, but was nonsuited, the Judge
declaring that he could not assist any body in
defrauding the Government of the United
States. The decision was a very natural one
and the marvel of the case is, that the snug
Cling silk dealer should have had the stupidity
to expose his nefarious practices.
