A dispatch from New York of the 9th
says: Alarge mass meeting wss held al
Tammany Hall last evening, as an annivsr.
sary of,he Inauguration Of James Buchanan
and as demonstration in favor of his Kan.
sss policy. -.
Ex-senator John R. Dix presided, and
opened the meeting with clear and slo-
quent exposition of his reasons for sus-
tanning the President. ~
John Van Buren,, Hon. R. NJ. McLane,
of Maryland, and John Coohrans, were the
orators, and were well received. The at
tendance during much Of the evening, was
all that Tammany Hall could accommodate.
Letters were read from Secretary Cobb,
Postmaster General Brown, Secretary
Toucsy, Secretary Thompson, and Senator
Slidell and Brown.
At one point three groans were proposed
for Douglas, but they were postponed for
the present.
FIf John Van Buren, had made speech
at an anti-Lecompton meeting, how the ma

Kentucky vs.: Missouri Democracy.

I5-The following paragraphs are taken
from single issue of the daily Democrat:
The advocates of the Lecompton Con-
stilution profess to be the only friends of the
Kansas Bill. They are welcome 10 the bill,
with their Interpretation. II is not the bill
we supported. Ifunder this bill we are
to force in a Free State, with Slave State
Constitution, we may, under the same pro-
visions, force slave State into the Union
with free State Constitution. The opera
t;on Of the bill is likely TO produces agitation
and revolution, more violent than the
passage of the bill did. We may prove to
be mistaken, if the Lecompton move sue
cseds. We can't say: We hope it.
Many Southern men actually fatier
them selves that if they admit Kansas with
the Lecompton Constitution, they will make
it slave State. They will find themselvs

comes TO f,rcing State into The Union, with
a constitution the people protest against, in
order to safe the Union, we are of opinisn
that il is past saving.

The South and its Resources

The successful initiatory movement origi.
mated by the Hon. VIM. Ballard Preston,
during his late mission, have given the SUBJ
ject OF direct trade betweenthe South and
Europe a high degree Of practical import
ance. That the South might establish a
line Of steamers at some one of its leading
ports, and with success, isbeyond all ques-
ton, especially il aid should be extended
from The other side of The Atlantic. The
resources of the South are immense, and
they are constantly increasing. An article
in late number Of the United States E.
economist furnishes some interesting statis-
ties in this relation. It sfirms that if the
planters could be guaranteed six cents per
pound for cotton, they wssld be satisfied,
Inasmuch as that price would afford them a
handsome profit. Taking that fact as a ba-
sis, the editor makes ar estimate Of what
has been the prosperity Of the South in the
last eight years, in which the price has
fuctuated from S.05c. to l2.50c. per pound.
The whole crop has been as follows;

The Designs Of Brigham Young.

| "A Washington correspondent of the
Pennsylvania laqatrer says:
A recent interview with Mr.. Bernhi-
sci, the Delegate from Utah, has en-.
lightened me to some extent as to the
designs of Brigham Yourg. Although
this venerable patriarch, is rather non
committal. yet an idea or hint occasion.
ally slips from him, on which reasona.
bic presumption may be predicted
1t appears certain that the Mormons
have in reserve, as final place of re-
treat, a settlement on the borders of III
per California, which by their arrange
menls with some ofthelndian tribes, they
will be able to hold against Mexico,
which is beyond the jurisdiction of the
United States. Young has used his
powers as Indian agent to curry favor
with these tribes, and has them under
his control. IL is not probable that he
contempla'os regular battle with the
Government troops. He will annoy
and impede them in every possible
manner, destroy their provisions, ,ammu-
milton and forage whenever they can
lay hands upon it. and wink at assassin.
ations, ambushes, and ndiscriminate
slaughter, whenever accomplished by
his own people or their Indian allies
lie dared not oppose our army in regu-
lar warfare, and he knows that he has
placed himself beyond tho pale OF par
don. He is aware that Utah is no lon.
ger a safe residence, but he is determi
ned not to retreat without doing all the
mischief he can. As to human life he
is as remorseless as Nero, and teaches
his people that it is no sin, but rather
meiiIorious. to kill the eGeuliles. His case
is desperate aud he is determined to
meet it with desperation. Our crusade
against the Mormons will undoubtedly
result in our recovering possession of
tho Territory of Utah, but at a great
loss of life and property, while the

A Curious Way to get Rested.

when their backs become much tired
by bowing low down, while singing
turnips with short shanked hoes, to lie
down upon their faces TO the ground,
allowing others to step across the low.

the pain Of fatigue is removed. Bur.

females who lead the camels, on feeling

found to be very beneficial. But The
immediate benefit of ashes is most per.
ceP'ible upon leguminous plants such
as peas, beans and clover, etc. On
grass land it destroys moss, sorre and
all sour plants. On poor thin soils, it
should be mixed with peat barnyard,

RAPID REVIVAL IN BUSINESS PRE-.
DICTED.

We have learned TO rely upon the
judgement Of Senator Sewatd, on 20.
litical subjects, with almost implicit con
fidence.
He applies to all subjects the test ol
true philosophy, aud his conclusions
are usually found correct. This is shown
by the accuracy of his predictions, two
years ego, of the monetary revulsion
that has recently overwhelmed The
country with panic and bankruptcy
fle saw tho cause operative at that
time, and furesaw the effect, and as he
predicted, so has il turned out. On 9th.
er subjects of finance and politics, we
have found his judgement equally sound
and his views equally correct.
This great statesman. in his late
speech on the Treasury Note bill in the
Senate, expressed an opinion on the
present business depression throughou,
the county, that is entitled to our
consideration. He said
"ln my judgement, the accelera,ion
OF business is going to be rapid just in
proportion to the Iapidity with which
business has declined and expect to
see every day, and every hour of ev-
cry day, marked by a rise in tie prosper
ny VtAe country, graduated just exact
y dy tie s~ddeaness Of depression. The
causes Of the disaster are gone. | think
there is nothing before us but a great
revival of business and plethora Of mou'
ey to revive it in all departments
may be mistaken in this, but am will.
ling to stand by il.'
We see nothing to hinder the rapid
recovery of our general business inter.
ests from depression, as predicted by
MIR. Seward. During The winter there
will, Of course, continue to be more or
less Of "hard lines" it being impossi
slb!e Tor the prostra,ed Condition OF
things to recover entirely from the eff.
iects of the late crisis, before the open
ing OF tho spring trade, with its revi-
viug and invigorated influence Mcn
we opine there will be general and
rapid revival.
The country is rich in every element
of business prosperity. The only troub.
lie with US NJ this moment, is fear aud
distrust, occasioned by the financial re
vulsions, aud from which it will require
some time for us to enIirely recover.
But the general feeling in business cir.
cles is much more hopeful and stron
ger to-day. than it was a month ago,
aud we see no reason why this feeling
should not continue To increase among
the people, and bring us out of the troub
led waters, high aud dry, before mex,
