SENATOR TooMBs OF GEoEGIA-At recent meet
ing of the Democratic party at Washington, Wilkes
county Ga, Mr.. Toombs gave utterance to the fol-
lowing sentiments:
He was not disposed to censure Mr.. Buchanan
for the conduct of Walker at present. He knew
caution and circumspection were often necessary in
the complicated affairs of this government; and he
was inclined to await further developments. Walk
er had threatened TO join the Abolitionists of Kan
sas in opposition to the convention unless it should
submit the constitution for ratification to all the in
habtants of the Territory. Mr.. T. thought that
if Walker should remain in office till his appointment
came up to be ratified by the Senate he would then
be deprived of the power of effectual opposition.
Walker has acted in bad faith; but the Convention
of Kansas would have the right to decide the difficult
ties for themselves independent of Walker and of the
President also. And Mr.. T. pledged himself that if
that convention should frame constitution recog-
nizng slavery, and present it to Congress- whether
submitted to the people for ratification or not Kan
would come into the Union, or we would 90 out
of it.
"The Senator then spoke of himself He had no.
thing to conceal. His views open to all per-
son on all subjects. His record was upon the jour-
nails of Congress. 1t spoke for itself. He had no
wish to change it.
"In conclusion, he exhorted the people to stand
firmly by their democr attic principles. That was our
only reliance. There was hope for the South in no
other party. He did not know that it could save
us from disaster. He sometimes had fears. The
future threatened. He thought the decisive contest
would be fought in the Presidential election of 1860
1t beloved to act wisely in view of that contest
We could not submit to defeat. If our enemies
should triumph, our hts would be at an end We
could no longer expect anything in the Union, and
he for one was for making the election Of a Black
Republican to the Presidency the time for quitting it.
He took his seat amid din of applause"

generous rivalry seems to exist among the De-
mocracy of the various Counties in the District as
to which shall give Mr.. Scales the largest increase
upon his former vote. A gentleman well acquainted
in the Counties of Surry and Yadkin informed us
the other day that both of these Counties will give
our candidate largely increased vote--as much as
a hundred in each. Ashe and Alexander promise
to give gain of several hundred, and Davidson
and Da'ie will certainly show considerable gain,
if we may rely upon the news from those Counties
Rockingham will add at least hundred to her
former majority for Mr.. Scales There are strong
indications of good result in Iredell even Stokes
will certainly do her duty, and Forsyth, we knoa,
will come up 10 the work gloriously. Which shall
be the ct banner County?" Which will do most for
the cause of the Constitution and the Union?

POSITION IN SLEEPING.

1t is better to go to sleep on the right
side, for then the stomach is very much
in the position of q bottle turned up
side down, and the contents are aided
in passing out by gravitation. If one
goes to sleep on the left side, the oper-
alton of emptytng the stomach Of its
contents is more like drawing water
from we'll. After going to sleep,
let the body take its own position. II
you sleep on your back, especially soon
after hearty meal, the weight Of the
digestive organs, and that Of the food,
resting On the great vein Of the body,
near the back bone, congresses it,
and arrests the flow Of the blood more
or less. If the arrest is partial the
sleep is disturbed, and there arc I'M
pleasant dreams. 1.-THE meal has been
recent or hearty, the arrest is more
decided, and the various sensations,
such rs falling over q precipice, or the
pursuit of wild beast, or other i'm
pending danger, and the desperate eff
fort to get rid of it, arouses, us, and
sends on the stagnation blood and we
wake in fright, or trembling, or pers-
piraion, or feeling of exhaustion, &C
cording TO the degree of stagnation,
and the length and strength OF the cf-
fort made to escape the danger. But
when we are not able to escape the
danger, when we do fall over the pre-
cipice, when the tumbIing building
brushes US, what then? That is DEATH
That is the death of those of whom it
is said, when found lifelcss in their bed
in the morning: THAT they were as
well as they ever were the day bciorc;"
and often it is added, and ate heartier
than common! This last as a frequent
cause of death of those who have gone
to bed to wake no more, we give mere
y as a private opinion. The possibil-
ity of its truth is enough to deter any
rational man from a late and hearty
meal. This we do know, with GER
tainty. that waking up in the night
with painful diarrhea, or cholera, or
bilious collie, ending in death in very
short time, is properly traceable to a
late large meal. The truly wise will
take the safer side. For persons who
eat three times a day,i is amply suf-
ficient to make the last meal of cold
bread and butter and cup of warm
drink. No one can starve on it, while
perseverance in the habit soon be-
gets vigorous appetite for breakfast,

DR.. MULKEY'S LECTURE,
Mn. EDIToR:

Mr.. EDITOR:
We attended the lecture Of Dr.. Null
key, on 0rlhoepy, last evening at the
Mary Sharp College. Although this
subject has heretofore been much neg
Iecled in the schools Of the South, it is
now receiving the attention Of the best
schools in the country. The Dr.. showed
that the system taught by him originated
in the South with his father, and has
been generally adopted throughout the
North, The writer heard lecture upon
the subject by the Dr.s father, in Ala
bama, more than twenty five years ago,
The art Of pronunciation cannot be taught
upon any other plan correctly, There
must be a system for pronunciation, or
persons will never learn our language ;
and for want Of this has arisen the great
variety Of pronuncations all over our
country. A few simple, Ineligible rules
given by the author Of this system reduces
our language to uniformity never before
belonging to it, And it is to be hoped
that it will not much longer be the object
Of dcrison to the foreigner, and perplex,
ity to the student Of his native tongue,
The importance of the subject should
guarantee him much success.

Prospects Of the Tobacco Crop.

A planting friend in Sumner county
gives us, says the Nashville Patriot
the following gloomy intelligence res.
pecting the prospects Of the Tobacco
crop this year.
SUMNER CouNTY, March 10, 1857.
DEAR SIR:--l write to inform you
that our tobacco plants are generally
killed by the frost and freezes. We
have yet time to sow, bet seed were
very scarce when we first sowed, and
is now impossible to secure a su fficient
quantity to make up for what has been
lost. Our prospects for this year, are,
therefore, gloomy. We shall scarcely
make half crop should the weather
prove ever so favorable. What is here
said applies as well to other sections
as Sumner-to wit: Robertson, Todd,
Logan, Simpson, Allen and Warren.
