Miss Agnes Robertson will also appear for the last
time positively, she starts for Charleston the next

+ The nomination Of Willard Fillmore for the Pres
Il dency by the American National Convention, recently
Il in session i1i PHILADELPHIA was not unexpected byus,s
|. although We did not think that result would be
achieved By vote of more than three to Further
more, we had hoped that nominations would be post
poned until the last Of June the first of July We
are still OF the opinion that would bve been the most
j1dicios course, according to the party tactics of
modern times but as it has not been deemed advisable,
We have no objections to interpose.
We consider the nomination of Willard Fillmore the
very best that could have been made. No man, we
not of What party stands 50 high in the estlna
ton Of the intelligent and patriotic in both sections
of the Union. The extremists of the North and the
South dislike him, but there is q wide difereneein
their feelings. The Southern extremists dislike him
on account of his conservative Union principles. which
are dramatically opposed to secession in its phases
while most of them accord him honesty oputpose and
yield him corresponding degree of respect The
aboitionists of the North however, hate him with an
intensity which knows neither depth nor decency,
and abuse and villify him more foully than ever a
purehearted and great statesman abused before.
His noble and exalted conduct and their Inherent de-
pravity and meaness stings them awfully. The con-
tlast is too great even for their ndurated minds tore
feet upon with patience. +@
tMllafd t1lillOIe Will pc opposed ny all the asmS,
North and South. This will be particularly the case
in the North, which is isrlatc in politics as it is
getting to be rheumatic and diseased in morals at
least in many portions. And the opposition will be
formidable. Not because it possesses any tremendous
amount Of strength in ITSELF but because it will seek
nalliance with the party most likely to defeat the
election Of truly national President, such as ex-
President fillmore has proved himself to be. Any
body but him, the Abolifanists; and to defeat
him they would ready support Davis, or Toonbs, or
Stephens, or Quitnan Or any other man holding eS
IRENE Southern opinions. But we opine the consery
alive, UnionoYng, fanatic-ating, Constitution and
law-abiding sentiment of the country will be more
powerful than islns factions, Or the spoilsmen.
The nomination of Andrew jackson Donelson, Of
Tennessee, for the Vice Presidency, is good one and
will prove a strong one; unless character, standing
and patriotism have lost their influence with the peo
pie Of the United States Mr.. D. was the adopted sou
of Gen Jackson. For many years he was his private
secretary and up to the day Of his death was his
trusted conidantand bosom friend. Gen. jackson
was seldom nlistakenin men, and never long Where
he reposed unbounded confidence for long series of
years. there must have been integrity and ability of no
| common order.
But, forthe present, we must close our remarks.
On future occasions we shall have all to say that cir

Meeting OF the Clay Monument association.
The Clay Monument Association held meeting last
evening Quite large audience attended, majority
of whom are well known for position and ability
Mr.. Robert J. Ward took the chair, and stated the
object Of the meeting to he to present to the people
Of New Orleans the Iroprety of moving in the matter
oferectng monument to the memory of the immor-
tai patriot and statesman, Henry Clay The few re-
marks made by the chairman we're exceedingly appro
pirate and eloquent.
The following resolutions were then offered and
adopted:
which the chairman Of the Executive Committee shall chair
Henry Clay and petition the City Council for the Of sua
arrangements they deem proper for laying the
s s Of tic e' brday F Henry l tay l'= @
MI, Pa1mele, a member Of the Executive Commit
tee, stated that he perceived among the persons pre-
sent one who had always taken lively interest in the
objects Of this association-Judge Alexander Walker
and presumed that the audience would be pleased
to hear remarks from him upon the subject of the
meeting. s&ss .u - . .-7sg
The Judge stated that he came altogether UMPIRE
pared to speak. He proceeded, however, to briefly
recount the peculiar Obligations which Lousianaps
owe to the public services of Henry Clay-who was
one OF the great trunVlrate to Whom the people OF
this State may attribute their cheiest blessings. His
remarks elected the warmest applause from the au
dience.
Mr.. James Robb was loudly called for, and came
forward. He stated that he had not expected to
address the meeting. He should consider tia duty Of
thehighest order to consecrate any means within his
power to the object of perpetuating in bronze or
marble the form and features Of the great man to
whom this country owes SO much. He did not think
this association should meet for the purpose Of making
eloquent speeches and passing resolutions, but for
action Three years ago, when the great statesman
finished his labors, the whole country-en Of every
State of the Unon-felt that they had sustained
common loss, and meetings were held everywhere
and resolutions passed to erect monuments to his
memory. 1t all amounted to nothing. He thought
an association in the great emporium of the South
West should adopt more vigorous course Of action.
He had formerly subscribed to the enterprise under
reservation which he should now consider withdrawn,
unauthorized his name to be put down for a SUBJ
scription Of one thousand dollars.
Mr.. Parmee then moved that an agent be appointed
each of the principal streets Of the city to collect
subscriptions to the Clay Monument and recess was
agreed to for the purpose of arranging the matter
Immediately after which the meeting adjourned.

Fremont and the Presidency.

Fremont held for fractional term--two
year, we think-the office Of United States
Senator from California. He was candi-
date for reelection, but the legislature of
California refused to return him. That is
the only civil Office he has ever held. We
do not know that he has ever been thought
of for any other. Certainly, until now. he
has never been thought of for any other
high civil Office. What high civil Office
has public opinion, hitherto esteemed lin
fit for? Has his name been mentioned in
connection with the mission to England,
or France, or Spain, or any of the lesser
European continental courts? Has it been
mentioned in connection with cabinet APP
pointment? What would have been said,
at any time during the last eight years, at
his designation for the post of Minister to
England or Secretary of State? How
would such designation have struck the
country? Would it not have regarded as
very extraordinary? Undoubtedly it would.
And is the Office Of President Of the Uni
ted States less important office than that
of Minister to England, or Of Secretary of
State, that a man may be elevated to it
who would not be regarded as fit to fill Ell
Their of the latter?
Daniel Webster said of the nomination
of Gen. Taylor, in 1913, that it was nom
inalion not fit to be made. Were he not
dead, what would he say Of the nomina-
ton of Fremont?
Unlike the nomination of Taylor, it falls
still upon the country. It's unGtness,
Its absuidity, lis righteousness, is appa
rent to every intelligent and rehec.ing cit
zen. 1t is Illuminating that statesman
SO eminent rs Mr. Buchanan should not be
deemed, even by his enemies, worthy of a
competitor nearly his equal in intellect and
attainmens. Il is humila ing. and is moi
encouraging sign Of the times, that such
an intellectual rismy as Col. Fremont
should have one supporter in the VIII lie
Union for the exalted station of President
Of the UAi-ed Siates.-Det. Free Press.

who die when very young, 1,292 expire on
the day of their birth, and the remainder
during the first month. According to good
authority the healthiest children are those
born in the months of January, February,
and March. Among the lower animals the
same will have been observed to hold good
and almost every farmer will admit the fact
in his experience. The greatest number
of births are in May and June--according
to collective statistical data. The number
of twins is to that of the whole number of
single births as to 65. In rural localities
the children in a family average; in this
country, 8; in cities the average only reach
