NAMES.

The names Of Britain, like her arts
and Language are made up of contribu-
tions from remote times and nations.
Most Of those termed fine or aristocratic
the Julius. Aurelias and Augustus-
SO Indispensable to novel heroines Of the
last age-are Of Latin derivation !;
while they no less select appellations of
Lionel, Eustace, Henry and nearly all
the masculine names under the initial
Il, came in with the Normans. Exclu-
sive Of Scripture names, the oldest now
current among US are Flora and Helen,
both legacies from ancient Greece |; but
i Is curious that though the greater part
Of our familiar appellations are Of Sax
on, OF, at least, or Germanic origin,
very few Of those in use among the sup
erior classes in Anglo-Saxon times have
depended to ours. The Elfridas and
Arma1edas have no representatives in
our world cf fashions neithershavst the
G.helbalds ind Edelberts, 20 abundant

Emma, Matilda and one two others,
Iare the only survivors, perhaps because

GOVERNOR GORMAN.

This gentleman returned to St. Paul
u few days since, from short visit to
Washington. We happened to be n
that city during the Governors stay,
and we consider it as no more than due
to him that we should bear witness to
his jealous endeavors to further impor-
~tant interests for the benefit Of the Ter
sritory, which were under consideration
at that time. Our personal relations
with the Executive are such as to forbid
any mere complimentary notice, yet we
are disposed to,render him full justice J;
and his efforts in behalf Of the Terrific
sry, at the time referred to, were such as
to deserve mention, and that Of the most
favorable character. Pioneer Demo

this he retied his sash, and paced the

The hotel, as everybody knows. was
nothing more nor less than fort. II
was constructed BY the disciples OF
Beecher. Silliman, s. Co, for the p,ur-
pose Of resisting any atsempt..to enforce
the execution Of the law within the
range Of its guns and musketry. The
town itself was fortified on the outskirts,
and determination to set all the laws
governing the Territory atsdefiance was
openly proclaimed. But the leaders
ran away, having no man of any7note TO
defend the place, and the result is stated
u the dispatches. There this civil
broil, we hope, will have ali end The
attempt to force q settlement of Kansas
with a particular class ofsmen, sent
from New England, has proved a com
.plete failure. All the Sharp's Rifles

Tuesday Morning, April Is, 1856.
Thanks! ThankS!!

We cannot longer forego the expression
of our heartfelt thanks to our political and
personal friends, for the manner in which
they have come to our aid in extending the
circulation of the +" PATRIOT. The in
crease has been steady and rapid since the
day we took charge Of it. Nothing equal
to it is to be found in the history of the
political newspaper press Of Tennessee. 1t
encourages US in the belief that our labors
in the great American Cause are apprecia-
ted, and if continued, as we hope it will be,
by the time the canvass opens actively, we
shall be in such a position as will enable us
to do the American Party most effective
service. With this object in view, we ap-
peal to every subscriber and reader of the
PATRIOT, F." individually, to exert himself
to get up Clubs of Subscribers in every
neighborbood, and send them in. See
Prospectus for prices.
