A REMARKABLE FAMILY.

There is much philosophy and good humor
in the following sketch, which we find in The
Manchester IN. H. Mirror. It is worth a
dozen Of the 'Does,ck papers, and deserves an
extensive noiorieiy. We understand il is from

FAMILY PICTURE. n
Mr.. Ediior--I propose TO draw picture Of
'our family for your readers. and promise IL
shall be as truthful as the majority Of biogrsph-
ical poriraitures, drawn by interested parties.
Our family is only remarkable for numbers,
there being ten sons and two daughters. We
were raised among the green bills Of Vermont.
BY the aid Of coarse fare and tho absence Of
doctors. all the children, with the exception Of
one infant, lived till the youngest had reached
the age Of thiry-six years. Only two have
since died, rs also our ssinted mother Tho
limited means Of our father only enabled him
to furnish a comraon school education but
we were trained to habits Of industry and the
most rigid integrity. With ihesc eudowmeuis
--ihe best that could be given--we were thrown
upon our own resources in life. After the age
o. hi,een or sixteen each was consulted as TO

ONr OF TIE Tricks or THE BUCHAE-
A,,rEs.-The Marksvills Organ, of the
9th ult, publishes a card from two
citizens of Avoyelles parish, in which
thew state that some time since they
were induced to withdraw from the
American party by misrepresentation
havirc been made them by three Dem
ocrats, in whose veracity they conhded,
to the effect that the leaders Of the
American party were holding meetings
in different portions Of the parish into
which only the rich and intelligent mem e.
her. are admitted, and that they called
tn. poor members pool hats, from whom
ali that was expected was their votes
The persons whose names are signed to
the card say that having made inquiry
since, they find they were deceived, and
consequently have come back AGAIN to
the ranks Of the Americans, and hence
forth they are Of and with the h'ends o.
Fillmore and Donelson.
Thus has another one Of the many
underhanded tricks of those unscrupu>
lous politicians been exposed. Every
honest man will form lis own concIu'
sions.

! country acquiesced in it, and it had acquired
/ a sacredness In public estimation which it
was unwise to disturb It had settled dan
| gerous controversy, which it was folly, nay
u was madness to reopen. Its repeal, as
MT. Fillmore Justly remarked in one of his
speec hes, was the Pandora's box, from which
has issued all our present evils. As Mr.
Fillmore was opposed, at the time. to its dis
turbance, he has not changed bis opinion that
ITS repeal was an act of folly. BUT WE
ARE QUITE SURE WE Do NOT MIS-
REPRESENT HIS SENTIM ENTS WHEN
WE SAY THAT HE DOES NOT THINK
" WOULD 9E WISETO ATTEMPT IT'S
RESTORATION, AND THAT HE DE-
SlRES NO AGITATION HAVING THIS
OBJECT, EITHER IN CONGRESS OR
OUT OF IT. He is too sagacious not to
perceive that the question has become obso-
lete, and too wise to pour water around the
roofs Of tree which was girdled two years
ago, in the hope of seeing 1t again covered
with foliage. -
Nothing now remains for the territories
but to see that by wise legislation, property
enforced, THE PEOPLE ARE PROTEC-
TED IN THE ENJOYMENT OF PEACE.
ULTIMATELY IN THE RIGHT OF De
TERMiNINC THE CHARACTER OF
THEIR OWN lNSTITU rIONS. WITH
OUT INTIMIDATION BY MOBS AND
WITHOUT INTERFERENCE FROM
THE STATES. The sooner this doctrine
is acquiesced in. the sooner will that quie.
be restored to the country, OF which it is so
greatly in need.
All doubts now, as to Mr.. FILLMoRE's
position on the great questions that are
dividing the sentiment of the North and
the South are resolved. He has spoken
boldly and candidIy to every question
upon which there has been any difference
Of opinion between the two sections of
the country, and has spoken the true
Southern doctrine. Can we refuse him
then our unanimous support! Were We
to do so, we become doub|y traitors
to our common country aud traitors to
the South.

The Sober Second Thought.

AS we predicted it would, in th'
opening Of the Campaign, the sobe

stands no possible chance Of an election
and in accordance with the dictates o
true patriotism, manifest desire to com
promise with the American party. in or
der to defeat Black Repub'icanism and
save the Union. Propositions from dis
,inguished sources, lave been made to
withdraw Mr.. BUcHASAN's name from
the contest and concentrate the whole
strength oflhe American and Democratic
,,erlies upon MlLLARD FILLMORE. No
less parsonage than the Democratic
candidate ,tr the Vice Presidency, is
said to have bro:ached this subject to Mr.
BucuASAS on bis !a.e visit to Wheat
land. with what success we have not
learned but ii is p be hoped that Mr.
BUCHANAN will yield to the advice o.
his most devoted friends. When the
sacrifice Of mere personal considerations,
will result in the public good, it is the
duty Of every lover q his country to
make the sacrifice, and we cannot be-
lieys that Mr.. BUCHANAN is the man to
disregard both the advice of his friends
and the dictates Of patriotism. In the
event of his running, every State he gets
only increases the chances Of the elect
ion of Fremont, by increasing the chan
ces of throwing the election into the
House, where Black Republicanism is
largely in the ascendant. The whole re
sponsibility rests with the South. If il
will give its unanimous support to Mr.
FILLMORE, bis election by the people is
certain, otherwise, the result we fear
will be the triumph Of the enemies o.
the South. ....

THE DlFFEREScE.-We have nothing
to do with the American party, says the
New Orleans Bulletin, or its tenets.-
Its own organs are abundant|y able to
take care Of their own case. But we
cannot help noticing the striking coinci-
dence between the doctrine of the Ameri-
can party, in regard to foreigners, and
the oath which every foreigner is
required by our laws 10 take before he
can become citizen of the United
States. The following is the part part
Of the American platform we allnde to !:
V.-No person should be select
ed for political station (whether Of
nitive OF foreign birth) who recog-
uizes any allegiance or obligation,
of ANY DESCRIPTION, to foreign
Prince, Potentate or Power.
and the following, apart of the oath
every naturalized citizen has taken:
And I do absolutely 7e'aou1ace
and ad;ure ALL ALLEGIANCE AND
F1DE1rrY to orey foreign Prince,
Potentate, State or Sovereignty
whatever.
Now, will some astute anh.Know
Nothing tell US in what the difference
consists?
