ABOLITION FANATICISM.

LII w allfldUl, MASSACHUSETTS,, the feSIucuCe OI
Speaker Banks, his abolition friends made great
ado over his election. The Boston Journal tells
us that the news of his election was taken to Wal
than by express, and was made known to the in
habltants by messenger, who proclaimed aloud
the fact as he passed through the streets, as was
done in Boston when John Quincy>Adams was
elected President The Rev r.. Foster, having
been waited on and called out by the Waltham
fanatics, addressed them as follows:
81 thank you, friends and fellow-citizens, for
calling me up, even in the small hours of Satur-
day night, to join my congratulations with yours
over this days glorious work. Tonight may we
say, with emphatic exultation, "Now is the win.
ter of our discomfort made glorious summer by
this son of Massachusetts. To-day witnesses
the first backward turnof the ponderous wheel of
Oppression which has so long threatened to roll
over and crush the spirit of Freedom through the
entire North. Now has the old fire-ship of Sla-
very stranded on the firm Banks of Massaehu-
setts
s.To-day, for the first time in many years do we
witness the out-stretehed arm of Almighty Pow

the voice from above proclaims THUS far shalt

| Another Rev., the Rev. Daniel Foster spoke
as follows:
sNow let Congress and the people regulat,
Kansas affairs, and secure to Freedom her inner
itance there, and then, when we have advanced
N. X. Banks to still higher post, or put SOM
other statesman into the Presidential chair, Will

POINT CLEAE.-A correspondent of the Mobile ADJ
vertiser writes as follows to that journal:
For the first time in my life, I am attempting q
letter for publicaton-and for what purpose am /
prompted to this task 1t is to set Alright report
which is being circulated abroad to the effect that
there bat few people at this place, and thereby
having tendency to keep pleasure-seekers away. I
do you there is no want for society of the best
class of people nor for amusements Of any kind.
The hotel numbers to-day one hundred and seventy
FIVE guests, and am told there quite nunherof
families expected in few days from Mobile and New
Orleans notice by the hotel register that there are
more names of country people recorded this season
already, than for the two past seasons altogether.
This speaks well for the place and it argues that the
Southern people appreciate good watering place and
take pleasure in maintaining it. Much has been said
of Point Clear and many very atterng articles have
appeared in print relative to the proprieoTs of the
hotel, Messrs Chamberlain 4 Darling. But the half
has not been told or else people are slow to believe
what they read. In short everything is so well ar
ranged and systematic, that those who have been in
the habit Of visiting other places where " srowling
was in order are perfectly tongue-tied OF the 10
eaty orthis place, wider field is opened for liquid
flow than my feeble quill can embrace.
This point seems to have been designated by nature
for the purpose appropriated being entirely free and
open the Gulf breeze and is the healthiest as well
the coolest spot in the Southern country The salt
water bathing is very delicious being but step from
the hotel and there is possible danger, the de-
scent into the water is very gradual and tine sandy
bottom good stable is established here, and am
told there are line drives through the woods in all dl
rectons abundance of fish and oysters, and they
true to their name served we have them here fresh
from their watery habitatons, To add to the pisca-
tory amnsements we have billiard tables, bowling al
leys, pistol gallery, with Mons, Descent charge and
an excellent cotillion band under the direction Of
Joseph Bioch that dscourses nightly, having the
gic influence to persuade the aged as well as the
young aud gay to trip the light fantastic toe. The

an array of beauty, and Major Darings stuffed crabs
for supper, with 8 a little more grape,d harmonize
with the music. Adieu. Yours, 3vl-

RATHER GoOD-The Baton Rouge Comet of the
10th, let's off the following:
A good practical political" joke was played off
yesterday on the President of the organization of the
American party in this parish. A welLknown wag
from below, now Temporarily sojourning here, obtain
ed blank telegraphic dispatch and filled it, under
date Of Washington City, the 18th inst and sent
to the aforesaid President, regularly enYeloped ac-
cording to the fashion, The substance of the mes
sage was to the effect that proposition had been
made by the American members of Congress to with
draw Mr. Fillmore from the contest if Mr.. Buchanan
would repudate the Squatter Sovereignty feature of
the Kansas bill The President called in some Of his
friends and was exulting over it, when the joke was
discovered. In the mean time, a gentleman who
heard the contents went post haste to the Capitol
and "spread" the news It is said that venerable
Gothic institution shaken to its very corner stone
by the intelligence.
This joke, to be properly appreciated, must be
thoroughly understood We are informed that the
Governor and Secretary of State became excessively
indignant at Judge Buffers pledging the State of
South Carolina to Fillmore in case Buchanan did not
come out and unqualfedly repudate the doctrine of
Squatter Sovereignty.
Well, a good thing is a good thing, no matter who
is sold. Governor, South Carolina did not offend,
receive her back into the Democratic fold!

ANOTHER TRIUMPH OF ART OVER NATURE Co1ss
lsiked BY lNachnery.-alr. Il. A. Reeves, an inge-
nlous New Yorker, has invented a machine to assist
dairy maids and others who milk COWS. 1t is thus
described by the Scientific American Of the 10th in
stant = sss#
The milking is done by means of q crank attached
to shaft on which there are fonr elastic arms Of
steel the ends Of which are furnished with rollers
On one side Of the ring within which the rollers
move there is an elastic pocket, into which the ami
mals teat is placed. The back Of this pocket is stiff
so that when the rollers revolve, they will come in
contact with the front part of the pocket and press
it. with the teat against the back part The tea thus
pressed is relieved of its milk, which flows down
through the pocket and through the hollow case Of
the instrument into tube, and thence into the milk
pail Nothing can exceed the simplicity of this de-
vice. Its size is convenient and its cost not great
We would suggest, gravely remarks the Scientific
American, an improvement to this invention: The
attachment Of music box to be operated by the main
shaft, in such way as to discourse sweet melody
during the delivery of the milk. Few animals are
insensble to the charms of music, and even insects
are said to lend willing ear. Under its fascinating
influence the old COW may be expected to stand per-
fectly STILL while the es forgetting to bite, will buzz
around with joy
