From the N. Y. Herald's correspond
cnce :
alt is now evident that on the Cuba
question the Democrats will present
an unbrokcn front, and the feeling is
spreading that it will break up and
annihilate the opposition in the North,
if it is permitted to become a party
! question. A suggestion has been
started among the Republicans that
they shall all vote for the Slidell propo-
s~ition, and thus throw it out of the
political and get it into the diplomatic
field, where it will certainly take two,
if not three, years to work it out to
any conclusion. This will throw it
over until after 1860, when it is not
much matter what happens. Se" ard
is known to have stated that he would
vote for the admission Of Cuba so
has Giddings of Ohio. MIR. Doolittle
of Wisconsin is in favor of the &C.
question:

and can say them by heart, and, what
is strangest of all. never learned them from a
book, but from mouth to mouth. The wind
whispers them, the birds whistle them, the
corn, barley, and bulrushcs hoarscly rustic
them nay, the musiC-boxcs at Geneva are
framed and toothed to play them the hand
organs of the Savoyards in all cities repeat
them, and the chimes of bells ring them in
the spires. They are the property and the
solace of mankind.
But of all the speeches at any of
these celebrations, which we have no
ticcd, none equal in brilliancy and
solidity that of Hon. Geo. 5. Hillard,
of Boston. His style has all the majes-
ty and clearness of Wcbster's. We
quote a paragraph:
Men of Scotland countrymen of Burns!
YOU do well to celebrate his memory with song
and speech, with eyes sutfused, and hand
claspcd in hand. You owe him a debt Of graft
tude which you can never repay. You are
wiser than your fathers. God sent them this
glorious genius, and they made him an excise
man, with seventy pounds a year. and allowed
some paltry jack in notice to tell him that his
business was to act, not to think. Alas the
pity Of it the pity Of it! lie has long been
where cruel Indignation can no longer %lacerate
his heart. You can only pour your vain iba-
tions upon his dust. This will not profit him
but it will profit you. You have a right to
thank God in your prayers for the gift Of Burns,
Every Scotchman has a right to hold up his
head higher from the fact that Burns was his
countryman. For him every blue-cycd la"sic
that runs about your tiowcry bracs or bath
her feet in the whipping burn is a faircr OBJ
ject. For him every heathcry hill glows in
rich pusplc every glen lies stepped in softer
light every mountain lake CLEANS with deep
err blue. For him the wild rose burns witt
finer flame, and the thorn cXhales a swcctcl
breath. His spirit hangs like n glory Owe
your land your streams are vocal with hn
namc the lyric lark sings of him whose music
was swcctcr than his own of him your tor
rents rave your winds murmur of him. The
Scotland that he left was not the Scotland
that he found. by him it was exalted, glori
fled, idealizcd by him it was bathcd in ligh
that never shone on earth or sea and unit
the rocks around your coast shall melt in thu
sun-until your hills shall pass away like thu
vapors that curl and play upon their sides, lie
not his praise be silent on your lips.

Col. VIM. II. Sessions, Stock Agent
of the Cedar Falls and Minnesota Rail
road Co., and l.. ID. Lampman, En-
rinecr of the same road, are in town,
on their way to the State Line. They
report great enthusiasm on the part of
the people in the Southern part of the
State, on the line of the st. Louis,
Iowa and St. Paul Railroad, where
they have lately been to attend a
Railroad Convention, called to organ
ize a new company for building said
Road. We understand that gentle
men interested in the Cedar Falls and
Minnesota Railroad have been engag.
ed in this project for some time past,
which business has temporarily drawn
their attention from this portion of the
line. But, from the reports we now
have, we think they have done us a
greater service by attending to mat
tiers South, than they could have done
in any other way. The results that
are to flow from the action of the con
vention at Oskaloosa will render the
upper valley of the Cedar River the
greatest Railroad ~thoroughfare in the
State of Iowa.

Most of our older readers undoubt-

pondence between Amos Kendall when
he was Postmaster-General and a
Postmaster down in Alabama, from
whom Mr.. Kendall wished to learn
the source of the Tombigbee river. 1t
will bear rcprint-so here goes
"SiR: o O Q This Department desires
to know how far the Tombigbee river runs up.
Respectfully yours, &c,
A. X, Postmaster-General."
The reply was brief, and ran thus /:
..SIR @ O o The Tombigbce river
doesn't run up at all-it uns down.
Very respectfully, &C., NJ
The Postmaster-G General continued
the correspondence in this style:
"SIn: @ o o Your appointment as
Postmaster at - is revoked. You will
turn over the funds, papers, &c. pertaining to
your Office to your successor.
Respectfully, &C.,
A.. K, Postmaster-General."
And the witty Postmaster closed
with this parting shot
"SR: 0 o o The revenues of this of

Pork CRoP OF IowA.-The number Of
hogs packed in Muscatine the past sea
son is about $4,000. At Keokuk they
claim to have packed $4,000, and at
Burlington they have packed 3 $1,000.
The Davenport Gazette says 10000
have been packed in that place, while
at Dubuque the number is about
1000. The pork crop of Iowa, for
1858, it may be safely estimated, will
bring into the State a million and a
half of dollars.

Death is but too often the termination of
what in its beginning was lightly treated and
fatally neglected as a common cold. The
snow ball does not increase faster by rolling,
thar does danger from an unchecked cough or
cold. When Inflammation once seizes upon
the delicate tissue Of the Lungs, the progress
of fire is scarcely swifter or more fatal than
that of Pulmonary disease through its various
stages, and its terminus, death. Yet it may
be arrested in all cases by a prompt resort OF
