We notice that Hon. Thos Ewing is TO de-
liver an address on the occasion.
Gov. WIsE's LAST PRoDucroSs.-We receiv-
ed good sized, well printed pamphlet from
Richmond, containing the letters of Gov. Wise
TO the New York and Philadelphia meetings, as
also, the letters to Chas W. Russell, Esq, Of
this city
From these latter letters being compiled with
the former, we may lit down as certain, that
our letter writing Governor has really paid his
personal respects, in Propria persona, to our
distinguished townsman.

Tng SnEmFFALTY-Th rush for the hang
manship of this opulent baliwick has broke out
afresh, and is a shoot upwards, equal
to Wall street fancy stocks. "rwo at a clip is
now the order of the day.
We're really put out By this sudden enlarge
ment of the happy family. We thought we had
the seven wise men of Greece, all nicely primed
up and fixed off with such an elegant name:
but now we've got To take down the sign, rub
out the charmed number seven, and publish the
whole crowd to gaping world, under the name
and style of the Nine MUSES..
Shades of He!licon! sustain your adventur-
ons Nine in the snutflng out process which
awaits about eight of them.

PoLTIcAL ITEMs.-No less than six of the Uni
ted States Senator's from the South, favorable
to the admission of Kansas with the Lccompton
organization, are now SICK. viz: Reid, Hendcr-
son, Thompson, Fitzpatrick, Davis and Bates,
representing North Carolina, Texas, Mississippi,
Missouri. Alabama and New Jersey.
The speech of Senator Benjamin, of Louisia-
ma, on the Kansas question: is one Of the ablcst
that has been delivered on the subject. His
principal object was to controvcrt the PROPOSE
tions that slavery is the creation of the statute
law of the several States where it is established;
that it has no existence outside of the limits of
these States; that slaves are not property beyond
these limits; and that property in slaves is nei
ther recognized nor protected by the Constitu-
ton of the United States, nor by international
law.
Judge Slidell, of Louisiana, brother of the
distinguished Senator Slidel, has become hope
lcssly deranged in consequence of blow of a
cane inflicted by a rufian at an election in New
Orleans 1t is a remarkable fact that the Sena-
tor who feels this afiiction deeply, sat near SEN
ator Sumner at the time of the BRUTAL attack o.
Brooks, which he rather justified. Ruhlanisn
now strikes nearer himself
The news from Washington is strongly i'm
pressive that "Lecompton" is doomed villiany
The Republicans, hanked by the Douglas rebels
and South Americans, will defeat the DARN:
test measure of the Administration. The de
bate in the Senate will last until Monday nigh
next when it is agreed that vote shall be tax
en-. 1t will wax hotter day by day. If Dong
las is able to stand up, he will be heard from
Lecompton will probably prevail in the Sennt
by three or four majority, but in the House
will be slaughtered outright
A correspondent of a New York paper, speak
ing of Senator Hammond, of South Carolina, an
his views of the Northern States and their pee
pie, theic white slaves, &C., says:

from Massachusetts,. He then resided in Lex
ington district, South Carolina, and tn
owner and manager Of n saw-mll He had pre-
yiouslv carried on the business of butcher, d
Columbia His chief pride seemed 10 be center
ed in his son, James, whom he trained fror
childhood in oratorical exercises. The mothe
of James was, | think, the daughter of an En-
slishman, named Fox. So the ariStocratic Ser
Stor is half Yankee, half Bull. His Yankee f
ther grudged no sacrifice to make him an or;
tor, AID fit him tor public life, not expectin
that he would distinguish himself chiefly in e
forts against the land of his fathers"
The Washington Union speaks of Senate
Douglas and Robert j. Walker as "conspicuou
instances of mind without soul, intellect Will
out emotion, brains without heart"
