OIL have found that the men who are
really the most fond of the ladies-who
cherish for them the highest respect-are
seldom the most popular with the sex. Men
of great tassurance-whose tongues are light
ly hung-who make words supply the place
of ideas. and place compliment in the room
Of sentiment--are their favorites. A due
respect for woman leads to respectful &C
tion towards them; and respect is m mistaken
by them for neglect or want of love. .-Addi-

Origin oil the Neshannock or Mercer
Potato.

The following interesting piece of infor-
nation is contributed to the Prairie Farmer,
by R. Buchanan, Esq, of Cincinnatti:
1t is seeding of Western Pennsylvania
from the banks of Neshannock creek, in
Mercer county; hence its name. 1 am a
native of western Pennsylvania, and have
been familiar with this potato from boyhood.
1t was first made knewn about fifty years
ago, and was SO highly valued that many
persons took it over the mountains in their
saddle-bags, on horseback, for seed. In that
way it was introduced into the vicinity of
Pittsburg by the late William Anderson,
who took it from the farm where il origina-
tel.
In the year 1871 settlement was made
on the waters of the Shenango, Neshan-
mock, and Mahoning. principally by Scotch
Irish. The soil and climate were favorable
to the growth Of potatoes, and those from
that region soon become celebrated-espec-
tally the new Seeding, the Neshannock.

n CHARLES D. s'RYDEs.

The brightest gem the world can boast
The poorest man may wear,
And keep il as an amulet
To exercise his care.
ltueser mocks al poverty,
Nor makes the wearer proud;
But sheds soft luster on his path,
Like sunlight through q cloud.
II is one the noble in his hall,
The monarch on his throne.
Mid lofty pomp and pageanuy,
Can never call their own.
Il rarely graces stately danes,
Although it adds to beauty;
Il sheds unknown delight upon
The least attractive duty.
Ii is not to be bought with gold,
Nor high estate can gain it;
And yet the humblest in the land
My easily obtainit-
Il is not found in Orient streams,
In deep mines Is not hlaoen,
But answers to fairy call,
And ever comes when hidden.
r will make a-palace of hut,
A paradise of earth;
And though it can be cheaply bought,
It is Of pirceless north.
And he is wise who ever wears
The jewel in bis breast:
His heart will own tranquility,
However much opprest.
It keeps the brow from fuIrows free,
The spirits ever young,
End teaches more and better truth
Than 's often said or sung.
1t checks impatient wanderings.
Takes pain from banishment;
And after all, this precious thing
Is nothing but content

The Future.

Tis hidden where may not see,
l cannot solve the mystery
Where through the earth my path may be
Is not for me to know.
Perhaps 'tis through a stormy way,
My weary footsteps have TO stray,
And may with the weary pray,
To be at rest.
My heart may faint beneath the load,
And anguish may nv spirit goad;
While travelling on this weary road,
From time to eternity.
But If my way be bright and clear,
My heart be light, and friends be near,
And love and hope my pathway cheer, KS
With beams of light
How happy would my spirit be
How joyous would my moments flee,
From care my heart would then be free,
My lot were blest.
But all is dark, We cannot see,
Tis shrouded all in mystery,
What is our future history,
We cannot tell.

United states and New Granada.

WAsHINGToN, May 30, 1857.
When Mr.. Bowlin and Mr.. Morse announced
the New Granadian Government that their missio
was closed, they at the same time stated that th
United States Government would take into its OWL
hands provision for the securities and indemnites
which Granada had refused. The Ultiaatum which
they had presented of the payment Of four hun
dred thousand dollars was not substitute for our
demands; but the lowest limit Of our money de-
mand as indemnity for American property destroy
ed. and provision for the families of American
citizens who were sacrificed in the riot of 10th
Apnl, 1856.
Our demand for future security is not with
drawn, nor will our Government lose sight Of it.
We require nothing from New Granada TO which
we are not entitled by the stpulations of an exist
ing treaty. But Granada has not fulfilled those
stipulations; and, whether her failure to do so
results from impotence or bad faith 1t bcomes
necessary for us to take security into our Own
hands.
Our Government made several suggestions to
New Granada, whereby an arrangement might be
made through which we could protect our rights
aud interests, without interference with her own.
We proposed that she should cede to US two small
islands on her coast which were valueless TO her,
but which, as Raval depots, would be useful to US,
and enable US TO give protection to American
property aud interests on the Panama transit.
modes Of security suggested by US. Granada on
her part proposed ~ enter into a negotiation
with France, England, and the United States for
the Joint guaranty, by these three powers, of the
security of the Isthmus for the people of all ma
tions that might cross il. This inadmissibe,
inasmuch as the United States has already had
sufficient experience Of the impolcy of such
tanglements with foreign powers.
Bot New Granada, if the latest report is true,
has manifested her hostile disposition to the United
States, by granting to England what she had re-
fused 70 US. She has ceded an island TO England,
n payment OF an English subject, Mcintosh. This
was a claim Of a private subject Tor debt due to
him. and was Of inferior dignity to our claim, which
was founded on the treacherous murder Of our un-
armed people, with tue connvance aud aid of the
Cranadian Government. The fact is, that We did
not enforce our claim, and England did, by threat
ening reprisals. New Granada has ceded the
Island so much desired by England, aud that Gov
ernment will pay the debt due TO its subject.
IL appears to be the plain duty OF the United
States 70 seize, at once, upon tn island which We
designated, ia addition 20 such other measures OF
security and indemnity may be deemed advisa-

ONE THAT KNOWS.
The Opening of the Canvass.

DEAR PArRIor.-Our Hatton, discover, is fill
ing the expectations of the nominating convention.
His fame hitherto has been local but with one
ception, no candidate for governor, hitherto, has
united so many elements of personal and political
popularity. He has made politics his study; and
he is thorough posted; he is man OF energy-of
work he is a steam engine in breeches he is keen
and quick and better logican has never discuss
ed politics in Tennessee. No irrelevant issues can
divert him in debate from the great questions before
the people. We all know him to be an Overmatch
for Harris. sincerely wish, however, that his OPP
ponent had the most dscursive talents, that the
public might have the ampest opportunity from
their discussions Of learning what is truth and true
policy. de is man backbone; gentleman that sctH
neither give nor take Insult. While in discussion
with Col. Keeble, in Cannon county last year, an
old man told him he wanted him 10 quit speaking,
he could hardly keep 'my son John off him."
Hatton picked up his sadilebags and laid them quiz
city on the table beside him, and remarked: "Teh
my son John to come on"
Depend upon it, if his friends will stand up to him
Tennessee will return to her old love again. But
we must work. work, work.
The democratic candidates 10 our section have but
one horse to ride into the legislature on, and that
Is Andy johnson for U. S. Senator. But l dis
cover that Hatton has made Harris give orders to
the democratic cavalry to dsmount from that horse!
But Sancho Panza never loved Dapple better than
do our Red Republican 'squres that same horse,
with black name and tail, with legs in silk stock
ngs as a white basis.
APRoPos-Andy johnson is not and never was
popular with his party. They elected him to gall
the pride of the Whgs-and confessedly amore hu-
initiating fact never distressed proud Tennessean
than his contemplating for Governor Of his native
State such a man as-A-n drew johnson.
They cay that Harris is gentleman. Well that's
cheerng-for if they really think he is, they can
vote for him with honOr-and if they do, We will be
honorably defeated if defeated at all-whieh may
the gods forbid

The Affidavit of The world.

1t was a saying of the first Napoleon that there
was no such word as impossible in the vocabulary
of a great man. Difficulties which appal a med
iOcre intellect only stimulate the energies of
powerful mind. Newton conceived the idea OF
mapping the skies, and measuring the distance
from planet to planet, from system to system, and
he executed it. The godlike Washington, deter
mined in the of Liberty and Justice, to resist
the mightest and the wealthiest government in the
woodland we are free. Others have made sue
cessful war on the common enemy, DISEASE; and
in the foremost rank OF these champions OF hu-
manity we place Professor HOLLOWAY. Happily
we live in an age which does not delegate to pos
terity the duty of approaching and rewarding its
master minds. They carry with them the applause
and gratitude of millions. So it has been with
this extraordinary man. He has heard with his
own ears the voice of approval which is to vibrate
through the future. H. has been the architect OF
his own fame, as well as future, and has seen with
his own eyes the fabric which is to be his monu-
ment.
No remedies for the various disorders which
afflict mankind have been SO extensively used, SO
universally popular as Holloways Pills aud ONT
ment. IL may, perhaps be said that the newspaper
press of the day affords vast facilities for giving
publicity to new inventions and discoveries. We
admit it, but it must be also remembered that the
same medium which affords the opportunities to the
challenge the correctness OF his theory or impugn
the value of its practical results. HoLLowAYs REM
EDIEs for external and internal diseases stand before
the w0rId undSSaiied. TIE conclusion is THEY ARE
UNAssAILABLE. But this is not all. Their efficacy
is not merely undenied, it is conceded by men of
science, by incorporated institutions jealous Of all
innovations upon old rules and precedents, by gov
ernments watchul Of the public interests and con-
SENATORS of the public health. Even this is not the
strongest evidence ia their favor. The press may
err, men of science may be mistaken, institutions
may be deceived governments may act hastily, but
universal experiment is infllhble.
Preparations that have been tested by millions OF
people, semi-ciVized and savage, in every quarter
of the globe and that have NEVER FAILED to produce
the promised results, have received the highest
sanction which any invention is capable OF receiv-
