 gss~ Grant Ihorburn is grand old humbug. The daily experiences of his life are constantly ventilated, whenever he can get an Editor to print them. Here is his last gush: Il never was drunk in my life walk with out staff sleep without rocking, and eat my food without the help of brandy or bitters 1 never eat enough smoke six pipes of the best Virginia every. day drink one quart of coffee, with sugar-no milk-and another quart without either sugar or milk-a one half gallon, ! total. Doctor Dunderhead says tobacco and coffee are slow poisons. In my case it's very slow indeed. for thus have lived during the last sixty years. Insert this in the Iferdld for tho benefit of tho temperance society. Since June, lIS4, till 1854, dwelt in New York; In all that period have been only six days confined to tho house by sickness. Yours. sincerely,

 sl~'Thc daily Illinois !S.tc .Iou,,.nL nul li,i,- cd at Springfield. .tug, 9th, is heavy laden with nn account of tho great mectinr of Eerrhicans at thr home of Ahc Line >m, tn the Slh Q" Au- gust, It heads a deta;lcd account: "rnHtical earthquake tho rtainrS on tr> Tor iHcoln tkc biggest demonstration ever hrli in the west : 15,0OO Republicans in council immoHS,> rroccs. sion; speaking from five stands: magnificent torrhlght procession meetings m tho Wisw;,n} and the representatives hnll, Ac..

 | reA- It would seem that Mir. Blair is fairly en- titled to his seat in Congress for the next term although the local canvassers declared Barrett elected by l4l majority. Two hundred votes for r. Blair were rejected by the inspectors of clecti n. To deprive him of them on the ground of technical informality so obviously defeats the intention of the electors, that it is probable the House. which judges of the qualifications of its members, will give the seat to Mir. Blair. ] NORTH CARoIINA.-The majority for Gov. Ellis will hardly vary from 5000. The vote is very heavy. The Democratic majority in the | Legislature, though reduced, is sufficient: An ! attempt is now to be made to organize Doug las party Ill the State, the eXlSClng DefnOcratlc organization being entirely in the hands of the Brcckinridge men. If the Douglas men mean to take the State from Breckinridge, they must vote the Bell ticket direct, as of the thirty or | forty Democratic journals in the State all but l one. if not every one support Breckinridge- | Tribune Rl-The Buffalo Republic says It is fact not generally known. hut most creditable to Mrs. Douglas, that prior to her marriage she supported and educated her brother with means acquired by her pen" The word pen being indefinite it may not be improper to explain that Mrs. Douglass father being an auditor, she was for years, whilst girl, rated as sl O00 clerk off Treasury Department at Washington. HAMBLEToN AS CAssANDRA.-James Pinckney Hambleton. who recently suspended intercourse between the North and the South, has been ask ing himself, Y" What will the South do if Abra- Lincoln is elected President 2 And his paper, the Soultern ConJeoeracy, echoes the following mild and patriotic answer, which is refreshing reading for dog days: "We answer this in terrogatory by simply stating that the South will never permit Abraham Lincoln to be inaugurat- ed President of the United States. This is a settled and sealed fact. It is the determination of all parties at the South. And let the conse- auences be what they may-whether the Poto- mac is crimsoned in human gore and Pennsylva- nia avenue is paved ten fathoms in depth with maneled bodies, or whether the last vestige of I.l sxvop< from, he of fbo
