Rev Mr.. B., faithful, fearless preacher
n one Of the " hill towns - of Hampshire
County, preached pointed sermon against

ar a member of his congregation who was in
ile habit of hiring his help at a low price, in
clnsderation of the frequent Il" treats - that
be furnished his workmen. ''0ld Nat felt
himself particularly 80 hit " by the discourse,
as the coat fitted him exactly and therefore
absent.d himself from church for some two
years. few weeks ago he was seized with
ls last illness, and expressed a desire to see
Rev. Mr.. B before he died. His son went
post-haste for the minister who, of course,
was quite ready to respond to the dying mans
summons. On entering the room he was
greeted with the cold salutation " Mr.
B, | am about to die, and have sent

apologize to me for that liquor sermon you

FOREIGN News - The Steamship Edin-

Garibaldi, in a proclamation announcing
his retirement from the army of Central

nomination of Buoncompagni, the French
Government has in its turn Welded, and he
is to be Regent of Modena, Parma and Bo-
logna, and also of Tuscany, if the authorl-

A regiment in the Bolognese Brigade had

NJ. Desambrois had been appointed the

A manifestation was attempted at Bolo-

A memorandum of the Tuscan government

The best joke about Harper's Ferry is laid

The Baltimore Patriot sn"Ts ont its scorn
at the Northern Dough-faces in the following
style
" We perceive that the LOcofoeO Dough
Faces in Boston, NewYork and Philadelphia,
propose holding meetings for the purpose
of appeasing the wrath of LOcofoco dis
unioniSts in the South, at the recent exhibi-
tions of foolish santimentalism for John
Brown, by handful, here and there, of
Abolition Disunionists in those cities.
If there be any character in the world
that we have any contempt tor, IT is the dirt
eating dough-face of the free States. He
has no real regard whatever for the South
and its institutions, and yet, under the pre-
tense of sympathy for them, he will proclaim
himself our friend, keeping his eyes steadily
all the while upon the pecunldry benefit to
be derived therefrom. He will do anything
that Southern fire eaters will require of him,
even to licking the very dust off their shoes
and though these partisans are perfectly
aware OF his hypocrisy, yet, strange TO say,
they affect to be gTatifed at the exhibition.
Why is this? Because they hope thus TO
get his vote. This is the sum and substance
of the whole operation, and what Is more,
its real object. The Locofocos of the South
demand the sacrifice, and the LOcOfOcos Of
the North are ready to make it.
Weall know, that not a single resolution
will be adopted at these forthcoming meetings,
not one word spoken by any Of their Dough
Face orators, that viii express their real SEN
timents. and SO far as the American party of
Maryland are concerned, they want none of
this make-believe sympathy. Indeed, they
Ill IL
They are "A power in the State, not a - Bal
ance Of Power party, and though they were
cheated at the LATE election out of the major
itv in the counties. they mean to get it back
next tail. without 50 much as saying 20 the
LOcOlOoOs, by your leave. " They are not
to be deceived about the real sentiments of
the people Of the Free States about slavery.
and they don I want any Northern OF West
ern man to eat dirt to please them They
don't ask any such degradation. What they
want is the vote Of the Northern and West
ern Opposition, by whatever name thev NAV
call themselves, for conservative PreSiden-
tIal ticket next fall. As to slavery in Mary
land, they can take care of that themselves.
and as they hold opinions about that institu-
ton, contrary to those entertained bv people
IN the Free States. they don [ REQUIRE of those
people, as prelude 20 political union in
the next Presidential election, the surrender
Of their manhood, or the profession of lie
on their lips about slavery. That's Loco
foco tactics.
Away, then, with the proposed Doughface
meetings in the three Eastern cities The |
Americans Of Maryland want no such exhibi-
lions Of degradation TO sustain them in main
-aining the institution of slavery in this
State. They ask no odds of any free State
IN this subject. They sustain slave labor,
because it IS their will so to do, and for no
)ther reason. They seek no excuse for this
exercise of their independent will.

THE UNION SAFE.

The Union-Saving meeting lat Fanueil Hall
Boston, on Thursday, was very large one.
Ex-Gov. Lincoln presided Rev. DR.. Blagden
made the prayer; George Lunt, of the Cour-
Ter, read the Union-Saving resolutions Hon.
Edward Everett made the pathetic speech :;
Caleb Gushing dealt out the blood-and-th
der denunciations and Frank Pierces letter
did up the SophOmorical part of the occasion.
The resolutions were adopted and
the assembly Dispersed and the Union is safe
again. That it would not have been much
longer, without the meeting, in the opinion
of Mr. Everett, is plain from the conclusion
of his speech:
81 meant to have spoken of the wreck of
that magnificent and mutually beneficial
commercial intercourse which now exists be-
tween the producing and manufacturing
States-Of the hostile tariffs in time of peace,
and the habitually recurring border wars by
which it will be annihilated. | meant to
have said word of the Navy of the United
States and the rich inheritance of its COM
mon glories. Shall we give up this?
The memory of our Fathers-of those hap
py days when the men of the North and
South stood together for the country. on
hard fought fields; when the South sent her
Washington to Massachusetts, and New Eng
land sent her Greene TO Carollna-ls all this
FORGOTTEN .sIs all the counsel that we two
have shared ;" all the joint labors to found
tb;s Great Republic is this "all forgot ~
and Will we permit this last great expert
u,ent of Confederate Republicanism, to be-
come a proverb and bye-word to the Ma
tions?
No, fellow-citizens, no, thousand times
no. This glorious Union shall not perish
Precious legacy of our fathers, it shall go
down, honored and cherished to our children.
Generations unborn shall enjoy its privileges
as we have done, and if we leave them poor
in all besides, we will transmit to them the
boundless wealth of its blessings.
1t strikes us that we have heard something
very like that from Mr.. E. before
The whole business of Union-Saving Meet
ings,-we care not where they are held nor
who attend them-seems to US undeserving
of respect from anybody. So far as they are
got up to help politicians, they are detest-
able so far as they spring from desire to
propitiate trade customers, they are despica-
Bile and so far as any real fear that the q.
S. government is in danger, and that such
meetings will save it from destruction lies at
the bottom of their convocation and manage
ment, they are contemplate.
