Breckenridge and Lane Nomi-
nation EMade tn KILL,

The New York Tribune concludes an
article, showing the object of the Breck-
enridge and Lane movement was to kill off
Douglas, with the following paragraph:
awe have said this nomination was
"made to kill" Breckenridge, however,
lacked one element to make the death Of
Douglas doubly sure. He has not grian
of rowdyism in his composition. Doug
las has ever relied largely upon this ele-
ment to aid his Presidential ASPIRATIONS
He expected in this canvass to make hea-
w drafts upon the subterranean Democra-
cy OF the cities and the rough and ready
adventures of the frontiers. In sympa-
pathy with these ingredients of society
Breckenridge was sadly deficient. He is
a well-mannered man-dresses in clean
linen-is a scholar and lawyer-springs
from an aristocratic family-is said to pos
sess good neral character, and is vicari-
ously pious, his father being one of the
most eminent divines of the Presbyterian
Church. To make up for these defects in
the head of the ticket, and divide the
cheers of "the b'hoys" with Douglas, the
Seceders put Joe Lane on at the tail, who
belongs by birth and instinct to the lower
tier of society; is course-grained enough
to suit the taste Of the grsundlings; can
swear like drab and drink unmeasured
quantities of corn whiskey; is backwoods
squatter and Western pioneer; has fought
with bears on the frontiers and smelt pow
der at Buena Vista. The ticket was made
to kill.

A Modern Politician.

Dennis, alias Michael Brown, was found
according to the Boston Herald, few
evenings since in the streets of that city,
addressing an imaginary audience concern,
ing the great principles now agitating the
country. Mr.. Brown, after coquetting with
bottle of whisky, is usually taken in that
way, and it was judged by the police that
Mr.. Brown would be benefited by COM
planning of him as a common drunkard
and sending him to the place where whis-
key is unknown, except upon special occa-
sions.
"May it please the Court" said Mr..
Brown, squaring his shoulders, as though
about to hold forth TO one of his imaginary
audiences, "would it make any difference
regarding my case if the Court was in
formed of my politics"
The Court look at Mr.. Brown in aston
ishment.
"Hurrh for the Little Giant" shouted
Mr.. Brown, with keen look at the Court
to notice the effect of the announcement.
1.-TWO months in the House of Industry !"
the Court said, mildly.
Mr.. Brown thought he was on the wrong
track. He changed instantly.
"Hurrah for Lincoln and Hamlin!" he
shouted as loud as ever.
"Two months" repeated the Court, not
moved the slightest by the cheer.
"Sold again! !" muttered Mr.. Brown
"Only one more chance" and then he
shouted: "Hurrah for Bell and Everett,
and ID if l try again if we never have
Presidentr
"Take him away" said the Court, "and
stop his noise!"
"This is a mean one-horse town!" NUT
tered Mr.. Brown. "One such yell as l
gave would have set me free in New York,
and the honor of drinking brandy with
half dozen of the Aldermen. This is
not the city for man of genius"
If either of the great political parties
want Mr.. Brown, he can be found without
much trouble. !

Sightseeing i'm Boston.

According to the following from inc Bos-
ton Traveller, Theodore Parker still at
tends church and is an attentive listener!
What next?
Last Sunday forenoone the writer of
this was in the Swedenborgain church, in
this city, seated between young lady and
her father. The latter requested him to
call the lady's attention to spirit, who
was standing near the pulpit. She replied
that she had seen the spirit when she
entered the church, and saw him then in the
place indicated by her father. At the close
of the service, the writer requested the
father to describe the espirit, and subsequen
ly repeated the request to the daughter
Without communicating with each other,
or either hearing the description given by
the other, for the daughter was walking
in advance with her mother, their ac-
counts nearly agreed, with this differ
ence, that the daughters description was,
more minute than that given by her
father. The spirit appeared like vener-
able man with long, white beard, and
was robed in vestments of pure white
Both perceived by his interior affections
that he was from society to whom he
was communicating the truths revealed in
the Word concerning the Lords body and
blood. DR.. Worcester preached upon this
subject. The young lady also saw in the
pulpit the spirit of the late Rev. Theodore
Parker standing on the right side of the
preacher, and he appeared to listen with
earnest attention. She perceived by his
condition, that when he entered the world
of spirits, though possessed of the love
of good and the good of use, yet he was
void of faith of charity, and blind concern
ing the internal sense of the Word. She
also perceived that it had been granted to.
him to leran their internal sense of the
of the Word, and with that object in view
he was present.
1t may be proper to state that the young
lady professed to have seen these spirits,
has had this seeing gift from chilhood.-
For many years she supposed that every
one saw spirits like herself but when she
discovered her mistake, she requested an
explanation from her father, who informed
her that she inherited the faculty from
himself Like his daughter, he has seen
spirits all his life. Both are intelligent,
quiet people, who would shrink from pub
lie notice, and who rarely speak of their
spiritual gifts to any but their intimate
friends. The young lady says that she
passes nearly two-thirds of her time in the
world of spirits, and that she can leave the
body at pleasure. She stands as it were,
upon the bridge that connects the natural
world with the world of spirits. Her
power of perceiving spirits is never OBJ
scured, nor is she at any time in clairyoy-
ant state, but at all times she sees the spir-
its of the departed mingling with the liy-
living; and influencing them for good or
evil. Neither the writer, the father nor
The daughter are members of the New
Church, though all frequently attend there.

Earthquake in the Caucasus.

| The Caucasus, Russian journal, gives
a strange account of an earthquake in the
district of Kouba, near a village called
Zargovo, situated at the foot of noun
tain range, about twenty miles from the
Caspian Sea. The result has been the
complete destruction of nearly two hum
dred and fifty acres Of land. This event
is said by the journal named above to have
been witnessed by only one individual, q
herdsman named Kadyr Rahim, employed
in tending oxen on the spot. The man
states that as he was sitting under tree
on the side of hill watching his cattle on
the plain below, he was suddenly alarmed
by extraordinary movements Of the ground
under his feet. In his terror he ran down
the hill, and when he looked back he saw
the trees hurled into the air and the sur
face of the ground heaving into hillecks,
filling the air with a cloud of dust. He
further declares that there was no wind
or any subterranean noise. The convul-
sions of the earth must have been confined
in very limited space, for the inhabitants
of the village, only four miles distant, knew
nothing of what had occurred till informed
by the herdsman, and could only believe
their eyes when they saw the devastation
effected in so short time.

From the Philadelphia Monitor.
Ami Impudent Letter.
HARTFORD, Conn, April 3,

HARTFORD, Conn, April 3, 1850. :
Mr.. Monitor: Your folks are beaten. We do
not fear "disunion" or Gloss of Southern trade.
II Is too late ,oio to talk Of secession. You are
weak and HAND cUrFBD, and your Senators are
JAw.LocKED. There was o time-but that is
past-when, if Calhoun had been bravely second.
ed by the Southern people, the South would
have carried the day; but now there is nothing
left hut submission, for the North must rule
Calhoun. ersy-haired and broken-hearted, van
ished like an imprecating shadow into the eter-
nal grave. The South was divided, distracted,
ungrateful. Your Wise is great man-as great
as Calhoun, or any other man born on this con-
tinent-bm epen the Harper's Ferry district IS
aodinst him! What can he do for the South
with the South against him? He can 60 down
to the grave--yanish like Calhoun-and after
death be held in honor as a great and shining
light, upon which, while living, the Southern
people caprieiously closed their eyes.
We have the majority, and we have right to
rule, but we shsll nse you kindly, and advanta-
geously for yourselves: In ten years, slavery
will vanish from Missouri, Kentucky, Tennessee,
Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, and North Caro-
lima. It will be permitted in the other south
ern States, becaussit is expedient-for 1t IS
purelya matter Of policy. The owners In the

personal property and when We. fhayerazs three
or four million Yankees among them, lands now
selling stten to thirty dollars per acre, will bring
from fifty to one hundred and fifty dollars per
acre. Thus our policy, which is to govern, will
be most advantageous for the Northern slave
States. Will you not take our prescription,
which will do you so much good? Must We force
Won TO take IL? rather think not. You are
mot sble to resist. We can &C any time set the
Southern people AGAINST each other by little
Presidential combination at Washington, so as
to mike them neglect or discard their best men
and we can buy up or Negative any OF their ordi-
nary aspirants, by holding out the Presidency to
them, as we hold an ear of corn before the nose
of an OK, to make him pull up hill. Any OF them
will abandon platform fora nubbin
We will elect Seward, who Is really mild,
benefcient and comprehensive statesman. He
will do more for the South, than any Of your
nu66iu men, and we shall not permit you to put
forward any other. You will not resist eighteen
millions with stand you cannot do without
our goods any more than We can do without your
money. Be quiet, and pe soil put up TIE price
of your land It is nonsense to talk about honor,
EQUALITY and Southern rights. Talk only about
the MAJORITY, and things practical, advantageous
and necessary. 1t would be bad policy for US to
abolish slavery in the cotton States. Let that
be sufficient guarantee. AS for the Constitu-
tion-we shall soon have votes enough to re,
model it to suit the times and predominant senti'
ment of UNION, which must be perpetual.

p6 THE GREAT DRAWBACK to persons emigra-
ting to the extreme south and western country,
is the fear they have of the Fever and Ague-
the most direful Of all diseases. Every day we
hear of persons attacked by this disease and
made helpless in short time, without any means
of atfording relief. In view Of the great demand
for remedy, DR.. Hostetter has presented his
celebrated "Btters," whose curative powers for
all diseases of the stomach have been universally
acknowledged The "Bitters," prepared after
long experience and deep study, have received
the enconiums of the most eminent physicians,
as well as all classes, from every part of our
