: AMERICAN ELECTORAL TICKET.
FRIDAY, OCT. II, 1856.
Death Of Hon. J.L. warning.

We are grieved to hear of the death of
the Hon. john L. MARIING, American
Minister to Guatemala He expired at
8 O'Clock yesterday morning at his resi-
dence at Oakland, near this city, in the
30th year of his age. Many friends, not
only here, but elsewhere, will mourn his
loss; we deeply sympathise with his family
in their affection. He was printer, and
served his time in this Office, but afterwards
studied law under Nicholson & Houston.
At one period of his life, he was Editor
Of the DAILY Gazette, then a neutral paper;
and subsequently he took charge of the
editorial department of the Nashville Union
in both positions, acquitting himself with
credit.
In 1854, August lst, he was appointed
Resident American Minister to the Repub-
lie of Guatemala, place he held with Gre
dit to his government till his death.
Mr.. MAILING leaves wife and two chill
dren, and numerous relatives, to mourn his
early departure. He died in great peace
and joy-relying firmly on that Saviour
who is liable and willing to save all who
come unto him."

Connecticut gone for the Republicans.

Whilst Democratic papers, South, are
claiming Connecticut, upon the strength Of
the late elections in that State, and dis
playing old Chanticleer in their columns,
with a prodigious crow, the Black Re
publicans, North, claim that it has gone for
them. The n. Y. Tribune, of the 18th
inst, has the following article on the sub
ject, from which it appears that Southern
Democrats are actually rejoicing over a
black republican victory!
The town elections just held in Connecticut
establish beyond doubt that AN overwhelm-
ing msjorty Of the people OF that State are in
favor of Fremont. The coalition between the
Buchanan men and the Fillmore men, in be-
half of which the Hon. ErastRs BROOKS has

How to Eat Wisely.

II practice makes perfect mankind should cer-
tanly know how to eat wisely; yet the following
excellent advice, IRON Dr. Halls lever suggestiVe)
Medical journal, contains wisdom that will be new
to most people:
l. Never sit down TO table with an anxious or a
disturbed mind; better a hundred fold, intermit
that meal, for there will be that much more food
for hungrier stomachs than yours; and besides eat,
ing under such circumstances can only and will al
ways, prolOng and aggravste the condition OF
things.
2 Never sit down to meal under any intense
mental effort, tor physical and mental injury is in
evitable, and no man has q right deliberately TO
nu-e body, mind or estate.
Never go to a full table during bodily exhaustion
designated by some as worn out, tired to DEATH
used up, done over, and the like. The wisest thing
you can do under such circumstances is to take a
cracker and cup Of warm tea, either black or
green, and no more. In ten minutes you will feel
a degree Of refresEment and liveness, which will
be pleasantly surprising TO you; not Of the tram
silent kind which glass Of liquor affords, but per-
manent; for the tea gives present stimulus and
little strength, and before it subsidies nutriment
begins to be drawn from the sugar, and cream, and
bread thus allowing the body, and by safe degrees
to regain its usual vigor. Then, in a couple of
hours you may take a full meal, provided it does
not bring it later than two hours before sundown;
If later then take nothing for that day in addition
to the cracker and tea, and the next day you will
feel freshness and Vigor not recently known.
No reader will be required to be advised second
time who will MAKE a trial above, while it is q
fact OF no unusual observation among intelligent
physicians, that eating heartily and under bodily
exhaustion is not an unfrequent cause OF alarming
and painful illness, end sometimes of sudden death
These things heng so, let every family make it
point to assemble around the family board with
kind feelings, with a cheerful humor and a courte"
Gus spirit; and let that member of it be sent from
the table in disgrace, who presumes to mar the
ought-to-be best reunion by sulen silence, or inn
patient look, or angry tone, or complaining tongue
eat in thankful q adness, or away with you into
the Kitchen, you graceless churl, you ungrateful,
pestilent lout that you are. There was grand and
good philosophy in the old time custom Of having
a bufioon at or music at the dinner table.

PennsyIVBnia.

AT the present writing it is probable that
the Union ticket has defeated the Buchan-
an ticket despite the frauds and corrupt in
fuences made use of by the latter. We
expressed the hope yesterday that such
would be the case, although the prospect
at that time was gloomy. We are not in
consistent with our course as Southern
men in desiring such a result
The defeat of Mr.. Buchanan in his own
State cannot but have a beneficial effect
upon Fillmore'S prospects in the South,
while it will determine those who have
united in Pennsylvania to produce this de-
feat, to again unite in November on the
Fillmore ticket, headed by Andrew Stewart
and Joseph r. Ingersoll, and composed
throughout of staunch and reliable Fill
more Americans. When we express graft
fcations at Buchansn'S defeat in Pennsyl-
vania we do not exult in triumph for
Fremont. Its direct and only effect is, to
enhance the interests of Mr. Fillmore
If the present impressions that Pennsyl-
vania has gone adversely to Buchanan,
. should be confirmed, ought it not to deter
mine Southern men to unite on Fillmore?
1t would then be reduced to certainty that
he will get New York and Pennsylvania
sirty-tcO Northern lectoral votes, which
from appearances is exactly sirty-t,cO more
than Buchanan can get

correspondence of the Patriot.]

SPRINGFIELD, October l3, 1856.
We had most glorious time for the American
party at this place oday-t being the first day
of Circuit Court, there considerable crowd
assembled, and they were addressed by the Eon. G.
G. Burr of New York-a Dickinson Democrat, for
two hours, in strain of bold and lofty argument,
which had powerful effect all who were present,
his expose OF the Pierce Democracy was whitening
his speech listened with breathess attention,
and had very palpable effect He was followed
by W. Lowe OF this place, in a speech made up OF
the stereotyped charges of the canvass nterIarded
with denunciations of the American PARTY, at the
close of his speech E. S. Cheatham occupied the
stand for about one hour and half, and literally
fayed Lowe alive, taking the bark off at every
lick. Our friends are delighted with the day work
At night J. n. Quarles, Esq, made them speech.

"What ought to be Done with the
Bank OF Tennessee!'

This iuterrogatory has never, we believe,
been satisfactorily answered. Some think it
ought to be put into state of liquidation !;
others, that it should be converted into a
mammoth bank, overwhelming all others I;
whilst, faction, 1--WE hope small faction,) Of
the Buchanan Democracy would like to see it,
Just now, become the head quarters OF their

IMMENSE MASS MEETING AT SHELL
BNVILLE.
Great EnIhu.IasmI

We learn that the American mass meet
ing at ShelbyviIle on the 18th inst, drew
out an immense multitude of people be-
tween 5000 and 10000, and that the
warmest and most enthusiastic spirit pre-
vailed. Able and eloquent speeches were
made by Hon. JERE. CLEMENS, of Ala, G
c. BURR, HORACE MAYNARD, Esq, and
others. The barbecue on the occasion,
was one Of the best ever gotten up 10 the
State, and conferred the highest credit
upon those who had charge of it.

We would direct the readers attention

"Our Baby Sleeps.o
BIT L. vrReIsIA rnrxcH.

BIT L. Virginia FREScH.
In EImwood Cemetery there is low monument Of {
lres marblethe only inscription those sweet words,
Our Baby Sleeps"
Where the tail trees nod and wave,
Lies a little, grassy graves
Scented violets, szure-eyed,
Cluster thickly Ger the side,
And shaft Of marble, bright,
Rises Ger it snowy white;
On its summit, sleeping calm,
Lies a spotless little lamb
"who is here9r the gazer prsys,
But the marble only says
"Our baby sleepsl"
Who passed by, with silent tread
Bearing out the dreamless dead,
Laid it underneath this stone,
Left it here to sleep alones
Whose the anguished, aching breast
Whence the sleeper went to rest
From whose love-watched cradle bed
Has the bright heart-treasure fed?
All! and what the sweet pet name?-
The marble answers all the same,
sour baby sleepsl"
Did they think to hide it well
Lest the angel Azrael,
Coming down in search Of flowers,
"See, it fall in love with ours?"
Did they shudder oft with dread,
Lest the shrouded, awful Dead
With their brows and hands of snow
Shou pluck at it from below?
Strive to save it-ah! in yain?-
But the marble says again,
"our baby sleeps"
Earthly beauty did 1t wear,
Forehead like the snow-drift fair,
Cheeks Of richest verwef hue,
Eyes of Heavens own living blue?
Lips of dewy fragrance too,
Where the lisping words came through,
Like the bees from sweet repose
In the bosom Of rose?
Was it light without shade?
Still the marble answer made,
"Our baby sleeps"
Did they wreathe its golden hair
With the spring buds, frail and fair;
Masking death with living veil,
Bloom Of rose, and myrtle pile?
Did they lay it here to sleep
When the dews of summer weep,
Or with looks of patient woe
Hide it underneath the snow,
Turning back with blinded eyes?-
Vain!-the marble white replies,
"Our baby sleeps"
Was it one, the loved, the only
Did it leave the hresde lonely?
Does no brother bring it flowers,
In the Silly, evening hours?
Loved with all Of mothers love,
Constant as its source above,
Lies it here with darkened eye,
Listing no sweet lullaby
Is her only angel dead?
But the marble coldly said,
'our baby sleeps"
Nay we cannot tel:-the shade
Which this tiny grave has made,
May in deepest grief and gloom
Stroud one pathway to the tomb;
one hearts hopes may all lie hid
Meath that narrow coffin lid;
Little fingers, still and cod,
In their slender clasp may hold
living heart that nightly prays,
Looks to Heaven and hoping says,
''0ur baby only sleepsp'

Last Saturday afternoon, the lth inst, Mr.. Thorn.
as ReaTgh came to my house with Theodore Mey.
er, and | was introduced to him as a Democrat.
lie stated at different times that the arrangements
by the Kentucky Democrats to import Buchanan
voters was in substance the same represented by
Mr.. Strattsn, and further that 5000 to 8 900 such
voters had already been sent from Cincinnati, and
sent daily in large numbers TO different parts
of Kentucky. After Messrs Strattan and Reaugh
left my house, Meyer said that they seemed to
doubt his statements; but that might rely on them
as being true, and, il doubted, they could 90 to
Cincinnati and see for themselves.
lie stated that his board-bill was paid for him at
Cincinnati by Kentucky man; that they we're
there every day at the German Row, and procur>
ing every man they could to come to this State to
vote; he said that the men who came with him dv
ded Off-some went TO stay with their friends, and
he went to a house on--sireet in this city with a
portion OF them.
Ny house was generally crowded with persons
passing and repassing, and consequently / had but
few opportunities 10 converse with Meyer; but
heard enough TO satisfy me that his statement was
true. / refer 10 the statements made by Messrs
Strattan and ReAugh for more minutes details.

THOS REAUGH.

On Sunday morning, the l2h inst, l met Mr.
Thomas Reaugh, who told me that he had inter.
cepted a man who was route for Marion county
for the purpose Of voting the Dem ocratic ticket.
Mr. Reaugh accompanied me TO Mr.. Fekcr's Ho-
tel, on Market street, and introduced me, as a DE-
M0CRAT to Theodore Meyer / conversed with
him for fully an hour ON THE SUBJECT OF HIS
MISSION, aud then walked with him; and he
thinking me Buchanan man, pointed out the
which the Ohio Democrats, sent like himself to
Kentucky, remained over night, and said that he
lodged in the house on Friday night
He spoke to me freely Of the arrangements now
being made ia Cincinnati to procure Buchanan vo,
ters for Kentucky. He said that the Kentucky men
we're attending to the business in Cincinnati; they
paid bis board bill at the hotel in Cincinnati and
gave him money and told him to come by boat to
Louisville TO remain at --'s over night
and 60 to the Lebanon junction on the Nashville
Railroad on Saturday; that he would be known on
his arrival by the black carpet sack but he said he
was too late for the ears.
On inquiry by Mr. Reaugh as 10 the reason why
Irishmen were not sent, he explained it by saying
that Germans mostly were employed for the reason
that they would be least suspected and we're more
reiable that any number OF those spurious voters
could be procured by visiting the bOardngshous in
German Row, Cincinnati From his manner and
conversation, ] was forced to the conclusion that
hr represented himself truly. Meyer said that
large numbers of these men had already been sent
20 Kentucky by Kentucky Democrats who followed
the business; end that immense numbers yet
to come; that none were obtained from Indiana be
cause all the voters of that State were needed there
He stated that the 0hioans objected TO their going
from "0hio State" and hence the Ranag cement
was done and money paid by Kentuckians.
