The Georgian has an article on Mr. Filmore's
mental calibre, and says he was but third
class statesman in the days of Clay, Webster, and
Calhoun, and but "second class " statesman
now. Without stopping to dispute the right of an
organ of the Democracy-a party that has literally
grabbed its Presidential candidates out of the
ground for twenty years past--to question the
classification of anybody, we simply answer, that
whatever class Mr.. Fillmore belonged to as a
" statesman" he made first class President, and
the people intend to try him again. Savannah

from letter to G gentleman in this city from a
prominent member Of the late American Conven-
ton in Georgia:
FORSYTH, July 10. 1856.
l returned yesterday from the most harmonious
and enthusiastic convention that has been held in
Georgia in many years. Concert Hall, in Macon,
was full Of delegates and spectators. As soon as
the syllable "Fill {" would be pronounced by any
one, the thunders of applause would prevent the
second from being heard.
1t was apparent to the most casual observer that
the crowd was ready for a hurrah. You could see
that it would require but a single spark to put
them in blaze. In short we had nothing but
harmony, good feeling, and enthusiasm.
We had many able men in the Convention
Grey-headed men who were as full of fire as the
youngest among us,
When the Committee on Resolutions retired to
the committee room to prepare report, the Con-
yention called out speakers-Morgan, of Troup
Co., Grigsby, Thomas, and Elan, of Atlanta
When Elan was speaking, he created such enthu-
siasm that the committee we're obliged to suspend
its work until he had concluded,
tell you the 6reis up and ragiig, and IL we can
keep Il burning until the first Tuesday in Novem,

never been Catholic, or professed 70 be one, Why
does he not say SO himself or at least authorize
some one to say 30 for himf He dare not open

but speak, he would bear witness to his being
both Catholic and stakeholder. These are
facts that will not be denied In any authentic form.

oxrsous. -Four times, says the Louisville Jour
nal, the Democratic party have selected candi-
date for the Vice Presidency from Kentucky, and
each time particularly with the view Of carrying
the State for their ticket. In 1886, they nomina-
ted Richard n. johnson to carry Kentucky, and
they failed. In 1910, they renominated the To-
cumseh Killer, and failed, not only in Kentucky,
but almost everywhere else. In iS4s, they nomi-
mated General VIM. o. Butler, and failed again to
carry Kentucky, or to elect their candidates. In
1855, they have nominated John G. Breckenridge
and they will again fail most ngloriously every
where. Thus, upon the three former occasions,
when the Democratic party have nominated can
didate for Vice President specially with view Of
carrying the State, they have failed to do So
Twice out of three times they have been defeated
throughout the Union, and this time it will be as
it was in 40 and 48, for where Colonel Dick
johnson and General Butler failed, Breckenridge
will surely be overwhelmed.

WASHINGTON AND CoNGREss.-The
following anecdote of the late Gov. Jay,
one Of the purest and most illustrious
statesmen, is furnished to US by his son,
Judge Jay:
Shortly before the death of John Adams,
| was sitting alone with my father, con.
versing about the American Revolution.
Suddenly hs remarked: 'Ah, William !!
the history Of that revolution will never
be known. Nobody now alive knows it
but John Adams and myself" Surprised
at such declaration l asked him to what
he referred. He briefly replied, 1.-THE
proceedings Of the old Congress. Again
| inquired, "What proceedings?" He
answered, "Those against Washington,
from first to last there was a most bitter
party against him."
As the old Congress always sat with
closed doors, the public knew no more of
what passed within than it was deemed
to disclose.-lru;ng.

The Molasses and Sugar Market Of Boston

This city is one of the largest molasses
and sugar markets in the Union. New
York may excel Boston in the latter ar.
ticle, and particularly in the sale Of hid.
sugar, but in box and bag sugars and mo-
lasses, Boston has the superiority. Be-
sides our direct imports of molasses, a
large portion of that imported into Port
land and Gloucester finds its way hither
for distilling and retailing purposes. 1t is
even sent here from Bristol and Newport,
r. l. Our usual import. until last year, of
molasses, is about 10000 hhds. !; of sugar,
10000 hhds., $4,000 boxes and 100000
bags, comprising about $50 cargoes each
year. This vast quantity is taken by our
market for retailing and manufacturing.
Boston has the most extensive distillation
of rum in the United States, and its sugar
re6neries require grea. supplies of crude
sugar. Our coastwise and foreig n ship
ments of refined sugars are very large,
nearly approaching New York in impor-
lance. The Gillian and California mar
kets take thousands of barrels from Boston
annually. Our own domestic trade re-
quires ten times as much refined sugars as
it did some few years ago. With these
great calls, which are constantly increas.
ing, for sugar and molasses, our receipts
have fallen off since 1854 enormously.
Small as the quantity Of molasses received
at this port last year was, thus far this
season we have only received one-half as
much. There seems to be great scar
city at all the Cuba and other West India
ports, of fair quality. Molasses is now
worth 40 cents gallon in this market,
and no stock Of consequence on hand.
Sugar is also very high, common grades
being worth 9 cents and refined 10 to IL
cents. The prospects are now favorable
for still advanced price for both sugar
and molasses, as the quantity coming TO
Boston is known to be very small.

SHAKEsPEARE's HOUSE, if report speaks
true, it would seem, after all, is to have a
crystal palace to itself. Our readers may
perhaps remember that, during the year Of
the Great Exhibition, 1851, an idea was
first started, by some considered an i'm
portation from America, but one, wo be.
lieve, that really emana.ed from Leaning
ton, namely, Of enclosing the house in
which Shakespeare is reputed to have
been born, at Stratford-upon. Avon, in a
large structure Of glass, isolating il at the
same time from the surrounding buildings,
by removing them, in order to insure its
preservation from FIRE, even as the former
arrangement was calculated to protect It
from the effects Of the weather. This
proposal was submitted successfully 10 the
American Minister, Sir Edward Lytton
Bulwer, Mr.. Charles Dickens, Mr.. Fos-
ter, Mr.. Macready, and others; but the
Guild Of Literature monopolized the lite
rary mind At that epoch, and it fell to the
ground, although the suggestion was
warmly approved by some Of those gentle
men. Within these few weeks, however,
a certain Mr.. John Shakespeare, who
claims relationship (of cosrse very re.
mote,) with the family Of the immortal
bard, has been in Stafford making inqui-
ries and arrangements preparatory or
carrying out q plan similar in all respects
to the one we have above described. The
sum, we understand, he intends spending
in thus gratifying his feelings, is about
three thousand pounds; and we learn,
moreover, that whenever the preliminaries
are arranged, Sir ]. Paxton and Messrs.
Fox and Henderson arc to be consulted as
to the details. Literary Gazette.
