with foreign nations ahat exists between the
States of the Union, particularly those who

fully expended. They urge that the only

prepared for the same free trade we enjNy

reciprocal free trade without their consent;
and that until they agree to admit our pro-
ductions free, It would not be expedient to
admit theirs free and allow them to tax our
labor, when we do not tax theirs in return
] have considered that free trade, if expe-
dien:, should be approached gradually, and
pari Pdssira with the advance to that end by
foreign nations, and that the modification
and reduction of the revenue, as proposed,

other nations should justify it, and have

Political Items.

Hon. VIM. A. Richardson, of the House Of
Representatives, has been nominated as the
Democratic candidate for Governor of Illinois,
and Richard j. Hamilton as their candidate
for Lieutenant Governor. The selection of
Mr. Richardson as their candidate by the De-
mooracy of Illinois, will of course insure fair
and square fight on the Nebraska-Kansas bill
question. His nomination proves the absurd
stories that the Democracy of his State are
not standing up to the straightest line of the
Democratic faith on the slavery question.
At the meeting to elect delegates to the
State Convention of Arkansas, held in Crsw-
ford county, the following among other rsso-
lutiOns was adopted
ReSoLUed, That we entertain undated con.
fdence in the administration of General Pierce
and, should he be the nominee of the Demo.
cratic National Convention, he will receive
our cordial support.
Similar resolutions were adopted by the
meetings held in Ouachita, Conway, Perry,
and Yell counties.
The Democratic meeting held in W innebags
county, Illinois, on the 26th ult adopted reso
lutions endorsing the administration of Presi
dent Pierce and the course of Hon. S. A
Douglas.

ukoh9kfOWN, May D, 1870.
A bereavement Of a very mournful charac-
ter occurred in our city on Saturday last. Less
than one year ago Miss Mary E. Mitchell,
daughter of Judson Mitchell, ESQ, in the
bloom Of youth and health, was married to
Mr.. John W. England, of New York city,
whittier she removed with her husband. A
few weeks since she came on to our CITY to
spend 81 short time with her parents and friends,
and while here she was taken sick and ex-
pired on Saturday as above stated. She leaves
behind an infant child only few weeks old,
and an unusually large circle of friends to
mourn her early death.
After a very able discourse at Christ Church
last night, BY the Rev. Bishop Wittingham,
twenty-five persons, mostly young, were con-
frmed. The spacious edi6ce was crowded to
overlooking, many were compelled to leave,
being unable to get in. This church is pre-
| sided over by DR.. Norwood, and never was in
| more fourishing and harmonious condition.
The most agreeable place We know Of to
spend an hour or two in the most delightful
manner imaginable is the at ladies' festi-
val at Pompean Hall. This evening is ex
pected to DO one of peculiar interest We ad-
wise all who can to 20 and see for themselves
Since the recent drenchipg rains, our streets
look rs if our very industrious street scaven-
ger had been over them with a new broom
With proper care hereafter, and a little labor
and lime upon some Of our alleys and less
frequented streets, our city will be in a first
rate condition to meet the approaching sum
mer.
There is considerable activity in the way of
business upon our canal The number of
boats laden with coal and -four, now arriving,
is considerable. There is some 5000 or 4 600
bbls. Of the last-nsmed article afoat this
morning.
We learn that the Know Nothings of the
District are about to tack on to their platform
another plank, to be called the necessity plank,
which is designed for the special benefit of
Protestant foreigners We hardly think it
likely, however, after what has already passed,
that any of this class of our citizens, who are
possessed of proper selfrespect and the genuine
spirit of independence, will be induced to ven
ture upon it.
Mayor Addison is again confined to his
house by severe indispostion
No change has occurred in the markets since

I That most industrious author, the Rev.
George Gillian gives the following as the
secret Of his powers of Endurance and his
statement is interesting testimony to the value
of "sleep and sy stem."

fected wonder, how can get through SO much
