"CuARIrY" FOR TEE KNow-NoTHING
FROM BENNETT Referring to proposed
asscmblagc of the National Council Of
Americans" in Louisville, on the ID of
June, Bennett says:
:" We give them the benefit Of this
advertisement in our columns out of pure
charity. Demolished, demoralized, and
reduced everywhere to little local squads
and knots of petty spoilsmcn, fusing up
on any issue, or for any little office, with
Democrats or Republicans, native Pro-
testnnt or irish Catholics, white mon.
niggers or indians, the remnants Of this
late great American party are surely
entitled to the public commiscration -
Let it be understood then, that Tho Ma
tional American Council meets in louis
vile on the ID Of June, and that tho
great comet and the end of tho world
may be expected about the same time.
Delegates without funds need not apply,
as there are no spoils to be divided, and
the treasury is empty. Who subscribcs?"

Gov. WALKERS Views. On the ar
rival of Gov. Walker in New York on
Tuesday evening, en- route for Kansas,
he was received ut dinner in the Astor
House, and took leave, for time, of a
numerous circle of political adheronts
and devoted friends. In response to
complimentary toast Gov. Walker made
clear and eloquent speech, which nat
urally is taken for an exposition of his
views and the mission he has accepted
He truly considered the Kansas question
as tho most threatening of the perils by
which the country had been meHaeed. -
Upon the fundamental laws of the coun-
try he was prepared to attempt settle
ment. 1t belonged to the people of
Kansas to decide for themselves what
their domestic institutions should be-
He recognised, to the fullest extent, the
justice OF this principle, which was laid
down by the most august tribunal Of the
country-the Supreme Court He be-
lieved that neither Massachusetts,, Con-
necticut, nor Missouri had any moro
right to say what the institutions Of Kan
sas should be, than the people of Kansas
had to say what those of Massachusetts.
Connecticut or Missouri should be. So
far as the utmost exercise of his powers
could effect such result, Gov. Walker
said he was determined that the people
of Kansas should have an opportunity
for full, free, and solemn expression Of
their will upon the adoption of any con-
stitution that might be framed after q
fair and satisfactory census of all the
bona tie inhabitants of the Territory at
the time. All past differences he re-
CARDS as deriving chief Importance from
their relation to the paramount question
of the peoples right to decide for them
selves upon constitution.

of a Goodwood Day, in the sketches of
our correspondent, Tombstone, and we
now furnish the exact conditions of the
Goodwood race, from the Spring edition
of "Rulf's Guide to the English Turf"
THE Goodwood Cup, value 81, 500,
the surplus, if any, to be paid to the
winner in money, subscription of 500
each, with $500 added by the Racing
Fund; tco miles and half; three year
olds to carry los lbs; four year olds, 127
lbs; five year olds, 1876 lbs; six and
aged, 138 lbs; mares allowed 4 lbs;
geldings, 7 lbs, horses, &C., got by Ara
bian, Turkish, or Persian stations, or
out of Arabian, Turkish, or Persian
mares, allowed Is lbs; if of both, SO
lbs; horses, &C., bred in America, or on
the continent of Europe, allowed IA lbs.
10 these conditions are appended allow
ances in the way of reduced weight for
beaten horses, increased weights for those
which have preyiously won the Derby.
Oaks, st. Legcr, and other English
races but as these do not affect our hor-
ses, We need not specify them The
second horse receives $500 out of the
stakes, and the third $3.50. The winner
to pay $50 to the Judge"
Under these conditions, Lecompte will
carry l24 lbs, Pryor 121 lbs, and Pri-
Dress 100 lbs; four pounds being allowed
to Prioress as a mare. 1t will be seen,
therefore, that Lecompte and Pryor will
run at an advantage of IA pounds less
than English horses of the same age, and
Prioress pounds less. On these items,
therefore, our readers can begin to form
their opinions and calculations, until they
hear from lis AGAIN.

YEAR OF YEARs.-As a curious coincidence it
is worthy of note that the vessels bearing the ee-
graphic cable for submersion left Europe on the Sd
of August, which was the three hundred and sixty
fifth anniversary of the departure of CHRISTOPHER
COLUMBUS on his voyage of discovery. Both expedi-
lions were started under national auspices, and
the shores of the Island of San Salvador gladened
the sight and crowned the visions of the great ex-
plorer in 1892 so let us hope that Trinity Bay in
New Foundland, will in 1857, safely receive the
telegraphie feet underestimate the triumph of the
enterprise.
P. SIT will be seen, by reference to our tele-
graphic column that the Atlantic Geographic cable
parted three hundred and twenty miles from the
Irish shore. 1t is to be hoped that the wire will
vet be laid this year.

CHARLES FENSO HOFFMAN, THE PoET-HIs IN
SANE FANCIEs.-Every visitor of intelligence who
enters the Asylum calls to see Hoffman, He reeeiv-
es them all with hearty greeting will ask them to
sup and drink with him. and when they leave invite
them to "call often" On the last occasion that we
saw him, after sitting in his cell and INDUCING in
pleasant chat-nO, not pleasant for the feeling of
his condition prevented this-he ordered at several
times some of his fellows to fetch wine and glasses
They would just stare at him, and he would seem to
forget it, until suddenly the order would be repeated
and again forgotten. He generally labors under
the idea that his place of confinement is garrison,
of which he is the commander and is only prevent
ed from enjoying the outside by advice of his ply
sioians. He will frequently endeavor to prevail on
the Superintendent to grant him liberty to roam
through the country for a while, and when this is
refused will submit quietly. Hoffman wears a cock
ed hat continually, and walks with cane. His ap-
pearance bears the mark of eccentricty and genius
but the former may not have been the case before
his insanity. His voice is clear, commanding, but
still cheerful.

From the Mobile Tribune
IF YOUR FOOT is PRETTY, SHOW 1T.

Ifyour foot is pretty, show it,
No matter where nor when;
Let all fair maidens know it,
The foot take all the men.
The face, so fair and lovely,
May charm the gazer's eye;
But if the foot is homely,
He'll quickly pass her by.
If your foot is pretty, shOwit,
When you trip along the street;
For At will catch the eager eyes
Of every man you meet.
Don't toss your glossy ringlets,
Nor pout your lips so sweet;
But gently lift your petticoats,
And show your handsome feet
If your foot is pretty, show it,
At concert, ball and fair
For the small pedal index,
Tells where your graees are.
The figure may deceive me,
All hoped and padded Ger;
But let my eye survey the foot,
Task to see no more,
If your foot is pretty, show it,
If you wish to catch the beaux,
No longer hide the tell-tale charm
Beneath so many clothes.
A graceful foot betrays form,
Ofrare and faultless grace
Full, rounded limbs Il doth reveal,
For JaRcys eye to trace.
If your foot is pretty, show it,
Yes, show it when you can;
Twill help your other lovely charms,
To win some nice young man.
The praeticsd eye may well distrust
A nicely padded breast;
But when it rests upon your foot,
1t kI10lrS of all the rest.

FREE suFFRAGE mn NORTH CARoLINA.

SOEEhhUE IN NOhIh CAhOLlNAs
The following explanation of the measure Of
free suffrage, which was adopted by the people of
North Carolina, at he late election, we copy from
the Raleigh Standard:
"Our State Constitution provides that no one
shall vote for a Senator in the State Legislature
who does not own fifty acres Of land. The Consti-
tuition also provides that no amendment shall be
made to that instrument unless bill for that pur-
pose shall have passed one General Assembly by a
three ffths vote of all the members, and the next
General Assembly by a two-thirds yate of all the
members; nor shall the said amendment even then
be made unless approved by majority Of the peO-
pie, landholders and non landholders at the ballot
box. An amendment, striking out this freehold
qualification for voter in the Senate and extend
ing the right of suffrage to native and nauralized
citizens who may have paid taxes, was passed by
the three fths vote in 1854, and by the twothirds
vote in 1856, and submitted to the people to
be approved or rejected at the late election.
This measure originated with the Democratic
party in 1848 At that time, the author of of it,
Governor Reid was in the field for the first time,
8 candidate of the Democracy for Governor. The
measure then encountered determined opposition
from the old Wing party, but the Democracy bat
tied manfully for this cardinal principle of their
faith, and it is now endorsed by an overwhelming
majority. The Democracy have at all times an
abiding confidence in the wisdom, purity, and
patriotism of the people, and therefore foremost
in all calculated to expand the area of the
elective franchise.

CORRESPONDENCE.

GAINESVILLE, Aug. %, 1857.
Editors Of Union and american:
l have noticed a communication in your columns
from Robertson county suggesting the name of Dr..
Thomas Menees, in connection with the Speakership
of the Senate. The sentiments Of that commune
cation find ready response in the breast of every
Democrat in Montgomery, and from conversations
with prominent gentlemen in the counties of Stew
art and Dixon, convinced that his election would
be very generally acceptable to the Democracy
throughout the State.
No gentleman has stronger claims upon his party
than DR.. Menees. He accepted the nomination for
the Senate under the most discouraging and inaus-
picious circumstances. There was amsjority against
him of about five hundred votes His competitor
"a popular man-is one of the most adroit debaters
in the State and enjoyed the advantage of an extern
sive acquaintance all over the District. In addition
to this, Col. Stark had been more than four weeks
on the track and had visited many portions Of the
District, at the time DR.. Menees was nominated.
In the face of all these difficulties, and at great
pecuniary sacrifice, DIR. Menees CALAMITY and gen.
erously accepted the nomination, and by his elo-
quence and energy, succeeded in redeeming Dis
trict which had been hitherto considered hopeless.
He has stormed the last fortress where the OppOsi-
ton forces lurked, and our colOrs stream from
the very citadel of the enemy.
believe the party win concede to him the rewards
of the victory to which he has largely contrbut-
ed He will make an excellent presiding officer
his dignity and decision of character his talents,
his amiabe disposition and courteous manners, all
eminenty qualify him to fill the position with honor
and distinction. MONTGOMERY.

Bgs~ New York PicayuRe hints at difficulty in
the intelligent transmission of messages by the sub
marine telegraph in consequence of the difference
in time some five hOurs,) between London and New

message to the following effect:
''LOadon, Tuesday oct. 90, o'clock. A. A-The
Emperor was shot few moments ago, while going
home from the Italian Opera House, whittier he had
gone to hear Verdis new opera"
An extra would, of course, be issued in New York,

the following effect
"Lous Napoleon aOas shot at tomorrow morning at
