Warren'S majority,
NORTHERN DISTRICT.

HoN. A. B. GREENwooD's majority over THOMPSON, the Know Nothing candidate; as well as we can determine from the official vote received, will be about 9, 300. Mr. Thomas. son has been cracked up here as an orator of great powers. He may be, but he makes very poor race for Congress.

The true Democrat., 1856-08-19
Dr. Graves and Col. Abbott, of OuaChita.

Df. Graves and Col. Abbott, of Ouachita.
 To these two gentlemen, Gov. Conway is much indebted for the very fatterng vote he received in the hotly contested battle in Qua chita county. We are heartily rejoiced that they have both been successful. They will make efficient and useful members in the next General Assembly. Dr. Graves has won for himself a very considerable reputation by the hold and able manner in which he has conduct ed the canvass in Ouachita upon the stump.
 The following notice we clip from the South Stamp:
 That Gov Conways official acts are under, stood and approved by the people of this coun- ty is perfectly evident from the result of our election. We heard Dr. Graves, the represen- tative elect, state on three different occasions distinctly, that Gov. Conway's past course met with his appreciation; that he expected to co. operate with the Governor in regard to the banking concern and his other policies, that he believed the Governor was right and he said in emphatic hunguage that upon Conway policy he was willing to stand or fall, sink or swim.- He proved at every precinct that Gov Conway is an honest, intelligent and patriotic man, en- titled to the gratitude of an enlightened peo- ple. Col. Abbott, the other democratic candi- date, advocated the same doctrine, and we re- ported their speeches in our paper that there could be no misunderstanding about the matter
 The fact, both of these gentlemen being eec- ted by a large majority and that Gov. Conway was elected by still larger majority conclu- sively prove that our worthy executive is held in the highest regard by the citizens of our county and that they are not the ignoramouses that the K. Ms. thought they were.

Practical Preaching.

Here is a delicious paragraph from
Henry Ward Beecher -
"We havo no doubt that rigorous
landlord, having sbarked it all the week,
would be better pleased on Sunday, to
doze through an able Gospel sermon on
Divine mysteries than to bo kept swake
by practical sermon that, among other
things, set forth the duties Of a Christian
landlord. A broker who has gamblcd
on a magnificent scale all tho week does
not 90 to cbu:ch to have his practical
swndling analyzed and measured by the
New Testament spirit A merchant
whose last bale of smuggled goods was
safely stored on Saturday night, and his
brother merchant who. on that same day,
swore a false invoice through the custom
house-they 60 to church to hear a ser
mon on faith, on angels, on the resurrec-
tion They have nothing invested in
these subjects they expect the minister
to be bold and orthodox. But if hs wants
respectable merchants to pay ample pew
rents, let him not vulgarize the pulpit
by introducing commercial questions -
A rich Christian brother owns largely
in a distillery, aud is clamorous against
letting down the pulpit 20 the vulgarity
of temperance sermons. Another man
buys tax titles and looks about all the
week to see who can be slipped out of

Men wish two departments in life tho

They wish to do what they please for six
long days. Then stepping the other side
of the wall, they wish the minister to as

and assurance for heaven. BY such
shrewed management, our modern fnan-
cicrs are determined 10 show thot a Chris

Satire on Doughfaces.

by j. G. WHITTIER.
Such are the men who, with instructive dread,
Whenever Freedom lifts her dropping head,
And scare the nurseries and the village
schools
With dire prcsage Of ruin grim and great,
A broken Union and foundercd STATED
Such are the patriots, self bound to the stake
Of Office, martyrs for their country's sake,
viii fill themselves the hungry jaws OF Fate,
And by their loss Of manhood, save the State
In the wide gulf themselves like Curtins
throw,
And test the virtues of cohesive dough;
As tropic monkeys, linking heads and tails,
Bridge DER some torrent of Echadors wales
Such are the men who in your chambers rave
To swearing point, at mention OF the slave,
When some poor parson, haply unawarcs,
Stammcrs of Freedom in his timid prayers;
Who, if some foot-sorc negro through the
town
Steals northward volunteers to hunt him
down
Or, if some ncighbor, flying from disease,
Courts the mild balsam Of tho Southern
breeze,
With hue and cry pursue him on his track,
And write Frec-Soi upon tie poor mans
back.
Such are the men who leave the pcdder's
cart
While passing South, to learn the drivers art,
Or in white ncckclotb, some with pious aim
The graceful sorrows Of some languid dame,
Who, from the wreck of her bereavement,
saves
The double charms of widowhood and slaves
Tliant and apt, they lose no chance to show
To what base debts apostacy can go;
Guido tho natives in their readiness
To roast \ negro, or to mob a press;
Pose a tarred sehoomatc on the lynchers
rail,
0rmakc a bonfire Of their birth place mail
So some poor wretch, whose lips no longer
Tie sacred burden Of his mothers prayer,
BY fear impcllcd, or lust Of gold cnticcd,
Turnes 20 the Crescent from the Cross Of
Christi
And, over-actns in super1uous zeal
Crawls riostrato where the faithful only
knccl;
Out howls the Dervish, hugs his rags TO
court
The squalid Santon's sanctity Of dirt
And when beneath the city gatcways span
Files slow and long the Meccan) caravan:
And thro' its midst pursued by Islam's pray
crS
The Prophets Word some favored camel
bears,
The marked apostatc has his place assigned,
The Koran bearers sacred rump behind,
With bush and pitcher following grave and
mute
In meek attendance on the holy brute.

what did Queen Victoris answer to thata

sent to the Gar one grain Of pepper. and
told him to put it into his -nouth. " My
