1t is positively stated, both from Mexico and
Washington, that the administration recently
offered Mexico six millions OF dollars for that
portion of her territory from the present north
ern boundary down to the thirv-frst degree Of

FINE CoRs.-The Vidalia Inteiligencer gives
an account Of a gigantic specimen ofcon raised
by Mr. DeaIe, in Concorda parish 1t says
that four ears of the corn, average IL inches
IN length, IA rows to each cob, and 60 kernels
to the row-making $40 kernels to the ear
each kernel perfect, full and fnty. That is
truly splendid corn, and we hope it will be in
troiuced into this and the adjoining parishes,
as well as eastern Texas. In 1884, Mr. Deale
obtained this prolific variety Of corn from colonel
A. L. Bngaman, Of Natcbez, and planted it
year after year from the promscuous yield but
noticing that It's quality declined and its size
lessened every year, he adopted new method
of sending trusty negroes, with bags, into the
ripening corn-felds, and made them pick select
ed ears for seedcorn. They were ordered to
pick but one ear from stalk, that ear from the
largest and best grown stalk, and growing near
est to the body of the stalk. AT planting time
each ear was broken in two midway, and only
The but-end used for seed Under this scien-
tiic method the quality of the corn, for a Sc
ries Of years, has increased to an astonishing
degree, in size, in yield, and the perfection Of
the kernel. Cannot some of our planters try a
similar experiment?

As the anti-American journals at the south
are pretending to take great interest in 1.-The
rights of the south" and are exerting them
selves to make the people believe that the de-
mocratIc party are the only true friends the
south has, and Mr.. Buchanan the only s.safe"
man now living, perhaps they will also deiyn
to inform their readers by what party and BY
whom all the abolition, freesoil, and other anti
southern and anti slavery movements have been
made and astated. By prominent northern
democrats--the very leaders of the democratic
party! Look at that model democratic 'saee
of kinderhook,' Martin Van Buren, Look at
the democratic ''prince" John Van Buren,
Look at governor Reeder at governor Chase,
of Ohio, at that ignoble senator Sumner al
speaker Banks, at John \. Dix, at BENJAMIN T.
Hallett, at ex-u. S. attorney general Butler.
at Francis 2. Blair and hundreds of others
not forgetting colonel Fremont, the black re-
publican nominee for the presidency, and tell
US who and what they are. Old democrats
every one, and every one of them notorious
ahoitionists and freesoiers! Yet, these Datri-
o'c otfice-hoiders' organs, call upon the south
to vote for Buchanan and sustain party that
has called into life, nursed, nurtured, caressed
and then thrown upon tie country the above
named vipers. This is singular way Of show
ing friendship for the south. Ought she, even
for one hour, contide in sucAa party?

THE POPULAR ForE.-As the presidential
election is close at hand, we have compiled the
popular vote for the benefit of those who take
an interest in national politics.: BY examining
the annexed figures it will be perceived that,
although he received the electoral vote of 81
out of the 81 States, yet general Perce's actu-
al majority was trifle less than the vote ofthe
State of Vermont. This popular majority
small as it was, came from the southern States,
for in the northern States Pierce was actually
in minority of Sc, 1888 on the popular vote

The grand jury of the criminal court, Phil
adelphia, made the following queer present.
ment in their report for July: 1.-The grand iu-
ry desire to present to the court great annoy
ance which our citizens are subjected to from
men and boys called "Barkers." They are en-
gagged in clothing stores in Market, Second,
and South streets, and, by their intrusive re-
quests upon persons to purchase their goods,
give rise to disturbances and frequent assaults
and batteries. either between the assailed, or
else between rival proprietors. Cases Of this
character this jury have acted on The re-
port would lead one to suppose that business
was very dull in Philadelphia, or that compe-
tition wazed high among her shopmen.
One vote in the United States senate annex
ed Texas to the United States. Mr. Hannegan.
of Indiana, cast that vote. One vote in the

occasions.

SOUTHERN MEN BEWlREl.
Abolitionists out FOR buchanan.

Abolitionists out for Buchanan.
1t wilb be seen by reference to our tele-
graphic column that the German abolition
lists have espoused the cause of Buchanan,
regarding him as "more reliable person
to further their object than Col. Fremont"
The Union and American of yesterday de-
nounces the dispatch (Which was sent to it,
in common with all the political papers in
this city, as fraud. We grant that a
ready credence should not be given to such
dispatches, just on the eve of an election;
but we ask is there not good reason to be-
lieve that the information contained in the
dispatch is entirely reliable. Have we not
already shown that the Union a demo
cratic paper published at Hamilton, New
York, supports Buchanan, and advocates
his claims on the ground that ''he IS better
anti-sLarery man than Fremont )" and be-
sides, did not Johu Van Buren,, in his
speech at Watertown, on the Gath inst
(availing himself of a late day to escape
exposure at the South, advocate the cleo
ton OF Buchanan on the ground that he is
a better free-Soiler than Fremont" Why,
my friends" said he Ut seems TO me IF the
question lCas to be determined simply a0ith
"reference TO The question Of sIarery, the POSI-
'TIoN OF BUCHANAN is MORE LEGIBLE AND
CLEAR THAN THAT OF FREMONT" Is it at
all surprising that the German abolitionists
whose instincts naturally lead them toward
the democracy, should yield to the argu-
ments of the Union and John Van Buren,,
and declare for Buchanan? The argument
was addressed to them at late day in the
canvass-and they responded faVorably to
it at a late day.

HOrRce MAYNARD.

This distinguished American speaker ar
rived in Nashville Saturday morning, hav-
ing, since the close of his regular appoint
ments, been attending a series Of American
meetings, and making some of the most
able and effective speeches ever made in
Tennessee. He has made profound i'm
preston wherever he has spoken, and will
carry home with him a reputation equal to
that enjoyed by any speaker in the State,
and the confidence and affection of the
gallant hosts which compose the American
party He made his closing speech here
Saturday, to a most enthusiastic audience.
1t was received with constant demonstra-
tions of satisfaction 1t was a model of
strength Of argument, purity of eloquence,

GALLATIN, Oct. %, 1856.

GentLemen-We have taken the liberty Of
appointing You Vigilance Committee for
your District, AT the coming election, the pri-
mary object being to ensure a full vote. When
you remember that the staying at home" Of
but one voter in each district IN the State, will
occasion loss of over 1900, the importance Of
adopting every means to bring out our full
strength is too striking to need urging. After
free consultation with our friends from every
portion of the country, the following plan has
been agreed upon:
1st. On Saturday and Monday, before Tues
day, the 4ih, let each committee mount
his horse, and (apportioning to each an equal
part of the precincD personally visit every
democratic and old-lne whig voter, reminding
him of The duties Of election day, and obtain
ing assurance of his attending, besides such of
the opposition as his judgment may suggest.
I'd. Be present at the polls early, and besides
every honorable exertion the ground, at IL O..
clock, send active Young Men TO the houses OF
every voter who appears absent.
Sd. Have vehicles at the polls to send for those
who may need being hauled.
4th. Send in returns on Tuesday night, and we
feel confident that by O'clock, p. m, the light.
ming will fash the news that the old democratic
party has again saved the country. By order OF
the committee.
Yours, in the bonds of Democracy,
T. B0YERS, Chairman.

stirring Time, An California.

Our late California papers assure US that
the Americans in the Golden State" are
fully awake, working zealously, and conf
dent of success. They held a two days
meeting recently at San Jose, which was
attended by five thousand persons. Chal-
lenges were thrown down to the other par
ties, which, having been accepted, all par
ties were represented in the debate that
took place. Hon. Bale Peyton, Henry A
Crabb, Esq, and B. c. Whitman, Esq,
represented the American Party. Judge
Tracy, General Williams and Joseph Nunes,
the Republican Party; and Mr.. Della Tor
re, the Democratic Party.
The triumph of the American speakers
was decided. OF the speech of Mr.. Crabb,
the correspondent of the Sacramento
american says:
Next followed Hon. Henry A. Crabb 10 one Of

Bag The Union and american need have
no apprehension that the Judges Of cleo
ton in this county, will not deal fairly with
democrats. Judge Whitworth was not
imposed upon by others, and its insinua-
tionS against that gentleman or any others
whom it may suppose had connection with
the appointment of Election Judges are
unjust Whenever charge is made against
our party of frauds on the ballot-box, it
will be time enough to arouse suspicion in
regard to their honesty. The party, which
perpetrated the "Plaquemine" fraud in Lou
isana and other places, which secured
Folks election in IA, and who threatened
to introduce $4,000 illegal voters into
Pennsylvania, if necessary, on Tuesday
next, should feel q pain on the cheeks when
ever balIot-box frauds are mentioned.

dency of which is to take the election of
President out of the hands of the people,
and place it in those of parcel of corrupt
politicians, and finally to subvert the Con-
stitution, and break up the government.
We warn the people against supporting a
party whose leaders can for moment think
faVorably of a scheme so unhalIowed for
the perpetuation Of their power Let them
tnrn with loathing and disgust from such a
party, and place in power men who have
been tried, and found to be true.

When Mr.. Fillmore retired from the
Presidential Chair he left the country 'free,
prosperous, and happy" The democratic
administration which followed has stirred
up the bitter waters of agitation, and pro-
duced series Of troubles which threaten
to end in the destruction of the govern
ment. Is it not the dictate of prudence
and good sense to restore the administra-
ton to the hands of Mr.. Fillmore, and to
throw aside the men and the party out of
whose mismanagement the present difficult
ties have sprung? Surely it is.
