tern politician made speech recently, in the
course of which he observed:
Sir, after much reelection, consideration and
examination, have calmly, deliberately, and
carefully come to the determined conclusion
that in cities where the population is very large
there are a greater number of men, women and
children, than in cities where the population is
less. And firmly believe there is not man,
woman or child, in all this vast assembly, that
has reached the age of fifty upwards, but has
felt this mighty truth rolling through his breast
for centuries.

ISHAM G. HARRIS.

We see from our exchanges that
neatly all of the primary conventions
which have been held by the demo
cratic party have. expressed their pref,
erence FIR Hon. Isham G. Harris rs
their candidate for Governor. We
are glad to see such unanimity per.
yading the ranks of The Democracy
and we are now well satisfied that
this distinguished champion OF the
party in the last canvass, will be the
Democratic candidate for Governor
There is no man in the party, whom
we would rather vote for than lsham
G. Harris. Gen. Harris, like Gov
johnson, was ostrlcised by the nota'
bic Henrymander, and in like man
ner the people will elevate him to the
highest office within their gift. The
people are unanimous in their choice,
and we are we'll satisfied that Gen.
Harris will be the next Governor OF
the State.

EtheTidee'S Defence.

The feeble defence OF Etheridge
the Southern Black Republican mem
Der of Congress, is thus noticed BY
the Washington correspondent o
the Boston Post:
sTbe speech of Mr. Etheridge o
Tennessee, in defence Of the resolu-
ton offered by him 10 the early part
of the session against the slave
trade. though witty in spots, was
clownish enough in Others to more
than compensate for itssmar ness
It was a farrago of libels on the De-
mocracy, and overruu with mahgui-
ty, disguised in the form of humor.
His time expired before he flushed,
when Percy Walker, Gov. Letcher
and others attempted to reply, but
the black republicans interposed to
save Mr.. Etheridge scorching by
voting TO rise. So Etheridge rctir-
cd into the Post Office and there,
surrounded by congenial crowd OF
passengers, porters, &c, mounted on
. bench and went on for half an hour
in n continuation Of bis speech,
which was received by his mlscella-
.peous audience with great applause,
and | suppose will be printed With
the rest. 1t was fitting conclusion
for an exhibition from the start on
a similar scale given in a circus, by
Dan Rice and other distinguished
Merry Andrews

Two children, between the ages

Two children, between the ages
of five and seven years, were play.
ing recently in the middle of the
street in Fairhaven, Conn.,, when an
unloaded wagon, without a driver,
Drawn by runaway horses, was seen
approaching at a furious rate. A
large dog, cross Of the Newfound-
land and mastiff breeds, who was
lying near, saw the approaching peril
and going to the rescue Of the uncon-
scious innocents, ''took up their
clothes in his teeth, first one, of the
children, and deposited the little thing
out Of danger ON the sidewalk, and
then returned and took the other
and also placed it safely on the walk. y
As the wagon was passing, the dog
made a spring at the horse and
tried to seize him Ivy the nose Who
shall say that the BRUTE creation is
devoid Of rational intelligence after

Permanent liquid glue, good fluid

Permanent liquid glue,a good fluid
glue, ready at all times for instant
use without any preliminary prepara-
4iou, is one Of the most useful arti-
Giles of stock With which the workshop
can be furnished. To make such a
glue, all that is necessary is to melt
three pounds Of glue in a quart Of wa
ter. and then drop in gradually a small
quantity of nitric acid. When this
ingredient is added, the mixture is to
be removed from the FIRE and allowed
to cool. Glue so prepared has been
kept in an open bottle for two years,
and still ready for use on the instant,

the roads were in bad condition
he thought he would try the virtue
of corn in the ear to supply the
place of coal. 1t worked so we'll that
subsequently, he purchased a load OF
coal and tried it by measure in con-
trast with tie corn, and the expert
ment developed the fact that ''the
corn fuel was the cheapest and the
best" The COIN and the coal were
worth the same price per bushel,
thirty cents each, and the corn went
the furtherest and made the cleanest

A shrewd lady recently did some

the residence of an old gentleman by

purpose Of getting some money which

kept in the house. Mr.. Sessions,
who was a bachelor, and his sister, n
maiden lady, lived together in the
house. The two men went to the
house between eight and nine o'clock
in the evening, knocked at the door,
which was opened by Mr.. Sessions,
when one of the parties knocked the
the old gentleman down with club.
His sister, hearing the attack, went
up stairs, opened the chamber win
dow, and blew loud blast with a horn,
which called out several Of the neigh,
bors, who hurried to the house and

Rotation in Office.

"IoN," the generally -well-informed
correspondent Of the Baltimore Sun
writing from Washington, March 8
says:
eAs l Informed you in my last
very few nominations are to be sent
| to the Senate at the present session.
There is no pressing occasion fol-
many new appointments, and they
will be made at leisure and with de.
liberation, and, of course, just dis.
elimination. The opinion gathers
strength, however, that the Democrat
ic doctrine of rotation Ia Office is to
be faithfully observed and carried out.
This was the understanding at Gin
ciunati, and was the Identical ground
upon which the nomination was deci-
ded. Mr.. Buchanan himself succeeds
Mr. Pierce upon this principle, and
be has announced, also, in his inal-
gural, that he reserves the same
dagger for himself" at the end of his
four years term Besides, there are
special reasons of public policy for
changing from band to hand the pa
tronage Of the Federal Government
which do not apply to State and mu
nicipal officers. An official aristocra-
cy in the Federal Government is not
to be endured
