MUSICAL SoIREE.-The musical en-
tertainment given in the Court House OH
Thursday night, by Mr. L. j. Lancaster and
his pulls, was highly satisfactory to the
very large audience present on the 2ason,
and reflected much credit on all who took
part in it. The performances consisted of
singing by the classes, accompanied by the
pianolortc, flute, violin, violinccllo, and c.ar-
ionet; part or ali of the instruments at time,
as the music required. The house was dense
ly crowded, and afforded strong argument
in favor Of the proposed hall, as many could
not gain admttance and many who did had
to stand during the evening.

Americaism-What it Tea ches.

IF the American Republic ever attains any
age, with her present institutions. it will he
through the adoption of the policy of the
American party, in its government and its
laws. To be governed in accordance with the
principles Of the American party is the true
policy of the American people the only sure
means of penetrating our institutions, and
maintaining the union Of our States. This is
the main object of that party. and all orpo-
ncnts must necessarily be enemies to our coun-
try.
Americanism teaches us to love our country
next to our God: to cherish her institutions.
npon which is based our liberty and happl-
ness: to dlscountenauce scctonalism, which
would make us a nation divided against IT,
self: to guard against foreign influence. which
might over-rule u.s. to educate our people; to
encourage home enterprise and labor: and to
put none put Americans on guard. y In
short. to DO everything that would tend to
make us the most enlightened the most happy,
and the most prosperous people, and the grea-
test nation that ever The sun shone upon.
In the days of the Revolution the man who
would have onposed these measures, would
have ranked himself with the tories, and have
made himself a mark for the American soldicry,
Yet. III the eighty first year OF our lndepen-
dcnce. we find an organized party whose sole
object is opposition to everything American.
and whose strength is owing to the foreign
influence. against the nsdious wles of which,
the " Father of our Country" warned us to
beware
That party is to be shunnel by every mau
in whose veins course unalloycd American
blood. and in whose breast pulsates patriotic
American heart,
This foreign party may flourish for while:
but it is certainly and speedily working its
own ruin. The people will not always permit
the preudices of party to blind them to
their own interests. The rejecting nor.
ton must see that upon the success of the
American party depends the destiny of our
countrv.-A wise people will allow none but
! Americans TO rule America.

THE END OF WALKER's FoRAY.-
The steamer Empire City reached New
Orleans from Aspinwall on Wednesday,
having on board Gen. Walker and his
staff and two hundred and sixty men
the remnant of the fllibustcrs of Mica
ragua. Walker capitulated on the 1st
of May to Capt. Davis of the U. S.
Sloop-of-War st Mary's, and was by
that vessel brought to Panama. Ten
thousand people. were present when the
steamer touched her wharf at New Or
leans, and fhaAexcitement was intense.
The capitulation to Capt. Davis was
made, no doubt, to prevent the destruc-
ton of Walker and his people by the
Costa Ricans, who had reduced them to
almost the last extremity. This, we
suppose, is the end of the great Mica
ragua war, which has been productive OF
so great and useless sacraticc of human
life.

NATIONAL FIELD TRIAL OF REAP
Frs, Mowers, &c.-The L. S. Agricul-
tural Society at its meeting in Wash
ington in January last, decided that
awards to Agricultural Implements should
be based GA practical working trial in
the same field. The time of holding the
general Fair Of the Society, at Louis
vile, on the 1st of September, being too
late to test reapers and mowers, the
Committee has fixed upon Syracuse, n.
T., as the place, and from the 9th to the
18th of July as the time for a trial of
these important machines.
From their circular we make the fol-
lowing extracts ::
The Society have decided to offer for the
best Reaper, Mower and Reaper combined, a
splendid Gold Medal, three inches in dam
eter; not as pccuniary recompensr to ex-
hibitorS for their trouble and expenses, but
as u mark of especial honor for having earned
an award after a thorough and protractcd
trial; the Society being convinced that a mere
statement Of the facts elected by the Judges
is ample recompcnse for any trouble or outlay
incurred by the owners or inventors Of the
various machines.
Comparatively few years have elapsed since
these wonderful implements have been given
to American Agi culturc: and yet. so great
is the demand for some mechanical contliv
ance which can supc,cede human tabor in
gathering our boundlcss harvest Of grain and
grass, and so fertile in novel ideas is the in
vcntivc genius of our mechanics. that at the
United States Patent Office an examiner has
been appointed, whose sole duty is the scru-
tiny of the CLAIMS of inventors Of Rcaping
and Moving Machines"
