Remarkable Recommendation
swarm of Strange insects.

A correspondent of the New York Evening
Post, writing from Poplar Ridge, N. Y, un-
der date of September 2, says:
Yesterday, at about O'Clock, P. NJ, the at
mosphere became suddenly filled with myri-
ads of insects of type entirely unknown in
this region, as far as / can learn. The phe-
nomenon is known to have extended several
miles, and appears to have occurred at the
same moment. The insect is about One-fourth
of an inch long, and closely resembles the
common ant
But the strangest part of the matter (that
is, to me, remains to be told, As soon as
they appeared, they began to alight upon
upOn whatever object they came in contact
with and TO giUe birth TO young insects ready tcnged
which in few seconds assembled into the air,
while the old ones threw themselves into VIC
lent cOntortions which continued until they
succeeded in Kidding themselves of their wings
after which they appeared to feel much re-
lied, and ran briskly about upon the ground,
as contented, apparently as though they had
never possessed the power of flight. In an
hour the earth was alive with these fallen in
sect angels, and strewn with their lifelesS
wings, while the tiny, new born progeny, had
assembled and were sporting in the beams of
the evening sun! This morning She parent
insects may be seen secEeted among the grass,
or whatever offer protection for the night
while the new generation appear dormant up
on the surface, awaiting the warming rays Of
the rising sun.
EntOmOlOgists may be familiar with sueh a
perpetuatiOn of an insect race. without the in
tervening link of the Larvae. If so, will some
one enlighten us on the subject?

PERRY's FLAG SHTP.-The Erie Bulletin says
that the remains of the flag ship Lawrence, of
Perry's feet. are being raised by Captain Van
Norman with his wrecking machinery, and a
portion of the hull will be taken to the ceie-
bration at Put-in-Bay. Those who desire to
procure a memento of the victory achieved
by the gallant Perry and his brave tars, can
be accommodated
The editor of the Bulletin visited the wreck
and witnessed the operations of the workmen
A large portion of the hull has been taken
up. The timber is in good condition. not
withstanding the fact that it has lain in the
water for long series of years. Some of the
planks aud heavy timbers bear the marks of
cannon balls and are considerably shattered
Capt. Dobbins was there, and brought away
the materials to make chair. The heavy
portion will be made of oak plank, and the
seat from a board which was taken from the
cabin. The chair will be taken TO Put in Bay
for the occupancy of the President at the
celebration, and after adjournment it will be
sold to the highest bidder, the proceeds to be
donated to the Perry Monument Fund.

the Governor has accepted his resignation.
Col. A. l.. Buren,, the other Commissioner
also rendered his resignation, but we hear it

From he Rnshinnton Union.

ITO have come into the Union under the
Lecompton constitution, would have been to
invest herself Immediately with the power to
abolish slavcry-a power 'Ohieh she does mot
no,o possess and ,chich Congress ecnOt eIercsse for
her.
at Is not n fact that the admission Of Kan
sas under the Lecompton constitution would
have resulted in favor of slavery there Not
only was it impossible that this was the opera
ton of the bill, but it was as impossible that
this could haze been The iltenton Of IFS authors"
"The Know-Nothing council admit that the
majority of the people of Kansas were OPP
posed to slavery. They know that, theoreti-
cally, under the bred Scott decision, slavery
existed in the Territory. and that admission IN
10 he Union under The LecomptoH constitution tras
the quickest process By lieh usey could prohibd that
relation ia Kansas That being admitted, the
people had sovereign power ut once to change
their constitution. and thus give effect to their
opinions rs the subject of slavery. In other
words, the Lecompton constitution was pre-
scented to Congress early last winter. Had
the State been admitted, long ere this 18th of
August, she could have framed new con-
stitution an,l been free State de facto e dc
jI,re. Tie KHosr-A othings and Republicans toere

Political Knavery.

What will those Southern Democrats who
sustained the application of Kansas for admis-
sion into the Union with the Lecompton Con-
stitution, say to the following extracts from
the Washington Uition Did they support
.he application as the shortest way to secure
the admission of Kansas as Free SateP Or
did they do it with a view to add one more to
the list of Stare States? If the latter, will
they not join us in denouncing the Union
for this base attempt to create the impress
sion that the bill for the admission of Kan
sas, supported by the South, was really trick
to add another to the already preponderat-
