A FRAGRANT BREArH-The following
is good domestic receipt for a highly
scented tiEcture to perfume the breath:
Take either white wine, such as sherry,
or any alcoholic spirit quarter Of a pint;
broken cloves and grated nutmegs Of each
one drachm Zone eighth of an ounce , cin-
namon, a quarter of au ounce place all
these dry substances into the vine, or spir-
its, in halfpint bottle, and let them stand
together for several days, .agitating them
every night and morning to accelerate the
tincturation, for at least week. Then
strain off the tincture through linen to get
it right. Then add about ten drops of otto
of lavender andif you can afford il, five
to ten drops of otto. Of rose also. Although
the receipt is complete without it, yet this
latter substance greatly improves the for
mula.s A few drops of this tincture put on
to lump of sugar and masticated, viii
scent the breath. 1t may also be used with.
advantage on the teeth-brush, in lieu Of
tooth-powder, or, mixed with water, it can
be used as gurgle. Either way will pro-
cure 'breath of flowers"

Improved Roads--PubIic Meeting.

The subject of improving the Roads Of oul
county is exciting more interest than we were
aware of. We spoke of the subject the first OF
the month"; but failed TO elicit any public response
nevertheless, the question has been, and is being
discussed, in various parts Of the county, and a
public meeting will be held in Fayette, next Mon
day. This is question in which all are inter-
ested, but the citizens of Fayette, and its imme-
diate vicinity have more special interest in it,
than those of any other section. Hence it is ex-
pected ofthem hat they fake the initiatory steps,
present plan or plans, and give an earnest of
their feelings in the shape of Fmaterial aid" Ell

Confessions of Jail Bird Arrest of a
Horse Thief-Disclosures about the
Robbery of the Clerks Office at
Keytesville.

A man by The name of Price ha. been in the
Fayette jail some time. awaiting trial on charge
of DEMONSTRATING. He has been making some
confessions, duplicating several persons, which
has created considerable excitement in the COM
munity. Theophilus Edwards, of Charlton coun-
ty, was arrested on the information given by
Price, and tried at Fayette, last Friday, before
Justice Preston. The trial was not concluded
until 10 O'Clock at night, and resulted in holding
him to bail in the sum Of 5000, which was pro
cured.
Price confessed that he was one of four who
robbed the Clerks Office at Keytesvllle, some
time in March, of last year. He gave the name
Of his associates-who are all known; one Of them
was at the time holding an office of honor and
trust, in Charlton county; another was Edwards,
who had just been held TO bail on the charge of
horse-stealing. These confessions had been made
to the officers, some weeks since. Saturday eve
ming, after the trial, Price was brought out of Jail
taken 10 the Court House, and in the presence Of
two of the men he had charged with being associ-
ated with him in that robbery, rehearsed the
whole particulars. even TO minutia. One of them
cross-questioned him, but be firmly and consist
emily stood by the account he had given the Off
GERS. The subject is being investigated, and the
truth or fasity of Prices revelations will soon be
established.

SENATOR BROWN, OF MISSISSIPPI, ON THE
PROTECTION OF SLAVE PROPERTY IN THE TER
RIToRIEs.-The following extract from Senior
Browns speech, during the recent debate between
him and Douglas. presents IN nut she'll his idea
of protection of slavery in the Territories:
Snow, when a Territorial Legislature refuses
protection for my slave property mean TO come
10 Congress and this will be my speech: "Sena
tors, this Territorial Legislature is your creatures
YOU breatbed il into existence; it could not live an
hour but under the sunshine of your approval;
/ come come 10 tell you that your creature is not
obeying the Constituton-that your creature is
denying TO me the rights guaranteed 10 me by the
sacred charter of our liberties, as eXpounded by
the highest judicial tribunal in the land; your
creature denies to me protection for my slave
property. | come to ask you, the master, wheth-
er you will grant me the protection"
Senator Brown evidently believes Congress
has power over slavery in the Territories, and
ought TO exercise that power. Howard democra-
CIV used 20 all such belief abolitonism, and emo
power" was test of democracy. Where do they
stand now? Where stands the father Of this ia
nous test! He denounced the doctrine Of Brown,
and those who admitted the power, with all the
bitterness, not 10 say malignity, that he was mas
ter of. What is the testof democracy now?

THE HERALD on THE NEW ORGAN.-
The New York Herald greets the first num-
Der OF The Constitution, the new organ that
has sprung from the loins of the Washing
ton Union, with rather equivocal saluia-
ton. II says: The organ, under lis new
ensign, we are told, will advocate ''the prin-
ciples which the Democratic party all over
the country claim as common property
But what are they? In the name Of all the
prophets, what are they? we know Of no
other principles of this sort than the seven
great party principles as set down by John
Randolph 'hve loaves and the two
fishes" These will do, however for the
present. But in addition TO these Mr.. Bow
man promises generous support to the
administration, and that il will be his
aim "to heal any dissensions which may ex-
list among our brethren in different quarters
of the country" The labors of Hercules

The Canvass in Kentucky --Magofin in

FAVOR Of Squatter Sovereignty:
We take ths:following notice of the open
ing of the Gubsrnatorial campaign in Ken
lucky, at Lebanon, last Tuesday, from thu
Louisville Journal.
In the discussion at Lebanon on Tuesday
the Democratic candidate for the Governor
ship in Kentucky declared unequivecally ii
favor of Squatter Sovereignty, whilst the
gifted and glorious standard-bearer Of the
Opposition has declared as unequiyocally
against it.
This settles the issue; it defines the posi-
ton of the Democracy of Kentucky on the
point in question beyond the reach ofthe
protest of dissenters or the subllety of trim
mers. 1t fixes thefthng. 1t nails the par
ty fast and firm to the most odious and indie
feasible dogma that has ever disfgured the
politics of the country. Here and there,
undoubtedly, a member of the Democracy
will twist and squirm; but the body Of the
party, the party itself, is pinned immoyably
TO the hideous and noxious doctrine. The
Democracy of Kentucky is at length not on
ly virtually but formally committed to the
vile heresy of squatter-sovereingnty. The
chosen representative, the authoritive expo
nent Of the organization has publicly and
explicitly endorsed the wretched iuggIe.-
