On Thursday We published without word of

The Paot of yesterday hastens to the assistance of

Death of 8. q. Goodrich.

This gentleman. better known as PETER
FARLEY, died at New York, Thursday, the
10th inst, where he has lately resided. He
was one of the Oldest and most widely
known of American writers in Juvenile
educational literature.
Mr.. GooDRIcH was born at Ridyefield,
Connecticut. August 10. 1898. and was,
consequently. nearly sixty years Of
age at his decease. He commenced business
life as book publisher in Hartford. He
published, with much success. both pecu

juvenile literary productions, and. as such
an author, has never been equallel. Many

About six years since he received the ap.
pointment of U. s. Consul at Paris, where
he resided until 1853, when he returned to
this country, and remained until DEATH Il

The Township Conventions.

Conventions have been held in the vari-
Gus townships of Crawford County, at
which delegates have been appointed to the
County Convention, which meets on the
first Monday in June. for the purpose of
nominating County officers to be supported
by the Democracy, at the ensuing August
election.
Messrs. James NJ. Brown and John Max
ey have received the nomination for County
Representatives in every Township but one
Mcssrs. Hiram Brodie. for Sheriff, and l.
w. Talkington, for County and Probate
Clerk, have received the nomination in a
majority of the Townships, and will, of
course, receive the nomination at the county
convention.
P. Perkins, Esq, who was q candidate
for nomination of Sheriff, and who, we be-
lieve, lacked but one vote Of tieing his COM
petitor in the convention, has withdrawn
his name from the canvass, and will give
his support to the nominee. This is demo-
cratic, and Mr.. Perkins stands higher to-
day in the confidence of the Democratic
party, than if he had received the nomina
ton, and this act will not be forgotten by
them.

JAPANESE FEELING.-The Japanese a.

JAPANESE FEELING.-The Japanese ale
believed to entertain more favorable feeling
toward the United States than toward any
other foreign people. This may be inferred
from their honoring us with the present en-
bassy, which is their first official visit to
any Christian nation. A people of such
extreme cautiousness as the Japanese. do
not speak all that they think and feel, wheth-
er it be for i'll OF good. Under the mellow
ing and loquacious influence of the cup, they
like other people, may divulge sentiments,
which in more sober moments would be held
in prudent reserve. The jovial Matsuaski,
one of the Commissioners to whom Com
modore Perry gave banquet on board his
flagship. probably expressed what were
really his sober views. when throwing his
arms around the Commodore's neck and
crushing his epauletts in his tipsy embrace.
he exclaimed Nippon and America all
the same heart.''

The Presidency and the House OF
Couareaa

As there is some probability that the
choice of the next President of the United
States may devolve upon the present House
of Representatives, we subjoin statement
of it's political cast by States. 1t will be
borne in mind that in choosing President
each State casts one vote. The present
House is divided politically as follows
Recommendations Arkansas, Cal
ifornia, Delaware. Florida, Georgia, Hi
nois, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Or
egon, South Carolina. Texas, Virginia-l4.
REPUBLICAN, Connecticut. Indiana,
Iowa, Maine, Massachusetts,, Michigan.
Minnesota. New Hampshire, New Jersey.
New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania. Rhode
Island, Vermont, Wisconsin-l5.
EQUALLY DvrDED.-Kentucky. Mary
land and North Carolina.
CAN.-Tennessee-1.
1t requires seventeen votes to effect a
and as neither the Democrats nor the Re
publicans have a sufficient number, the four
last named States will. of course, hold "the
balance of power" Should the House fail
to elect President before the 4th Of March,
that duty will then in effect devolve upon the
Senate, which has the election of a Vice
President, who, under the provisions of the
Constitution, becomes President of the Uni
ted States. The Senate is composed of a
ajority of Democrats.
An exigency, therefore, may arise which
will take the'choice of the Presidency per-
emptorily away from the people and give ii
into the hands of agents the farthest remov-
ed from them.--Nenephis Appeal.

Mr.. Yancey on Non-Intervention.

At the Democratic National Convention
which assembled at Baltimore, in 1S49,
Hon. VIM. L. Yancey, of Alabama. was
on the committee of resolutions. He did
not agree with the majority report of the
committee, it seems, but submitted a mi
nority resolution, which reads as follows ::
Reso1red, That tie doctrine Of non -interfe-
ence wiM the rights Of property or the peti-
ton Of the people Of the republican States or
Territories by any other parties than those
interested, is tie true Republican doctrine.
This was received by the convention as
the minority report. signed by the delegates
from Alabama, South Carolina and Flori-
da. Mr.. Yancey strongly supported the
resolution.
Mr.. Commander, of South Carolina, sta
ted to the convention, that the adoption of
the resolution offered by Mr.. Yancey would
carry his State for Mr.. Cass, and which, if
not adopted, made it doubtful, if not i'm
possible

The Scarlet Letter.

No southern paper, says the Memphis
appeal, has yet offered anything in defense
of the revolutionary sentiments contained
in Mr.. Yancey's letter to j. S. Slaughter,
in 1853. We would like to know who of
all Mr.. Yancey's enthusiastic admirers, is
ready to indorse the following extract from
that notorious document
We shall fire the southern heart, instruct
the southern mind, give courage to each
other, and at tho PROPER MOMENT, by one or
yanized, concerted action, acs can precip,tate
tho cotton States into REVOLUTION -
Mr.. Yancey is northern man, was born
and raised in Troy, New York. where, in
all probability. he first conceived the idea
of revolutionizing the South.

We take the following extract from a
private letter, received from Camden, dated
dated the 9th instant:
"About one hundred persons left here
yesterday morning to go to Boykin's mills,
eight miles below, on the Camden railroad.
All went we'll, until about half an hour be-
fore starting back, when some one propos-
ed that they should all get into fiat boat,
and have a sail before leaving the pond.
About sixty five persons, mostly young
ladies got into it and completely filed it
all standing. They pushed out from the
shore when the boat strucka snag. They
got it off, however, but in about five min
utes, the flat began to sink. All the ladies
and most of the men jumped out and twen-
ty-fvc sank to rise no more. AS soon as
the news reached Camden, a special train,

JOHN BEL. AND HIS PARrY.-Thc nomina-
tion Of John Bell, at the late Opposition
convention at Baltimore, seems to have
created but little enthusiasm among the
leaders of his party. The Enquirer, lead
ing Opposition paper, in this city, has not
yet raised the ticket to it's Masthead. and
seems reluctant to do so. The Paducah
(ky,) Commercial, another Opposition
organ, thus laments his nomination:
" 1t will be seen, by reference to our tel
esraphic column, that John Bell, of Ten
nessee, was nominated by the Baltimore
Union Convention, on the second ballot
There is no man living whom we would
rather see President of the United States
than MIR. Bell, yet candor compels us to say
that we rather regret his nomination at this
juncture. As ap old line Wing, who has
held oa to the faith.' we honor him-as
one of the first intellects of the country,
sound, conservative and Independent in
short, we regard him among the first of liv-
ing statesmen but yet we cannot help
wishing that less prominent man had
been selected Democracy hates John Bell
worse, perhaps. than any other man in the
country, and his domination will come near
er healing their discords than any other oc-
currence that could have happened
From all appearances Mr.. Bell will find
the Presidential road rather too hilly for his
feeble limbs and reluctant supporters.

HE SECEDEIS ARE NOT THE SoUrH.-We
observe that a number of our northern dem
ocratic exchanges are disposed to regard the
conduct of the seeeders at Charleston as a
movement of the South. We beg to in
form them differently. The secession NOV
ment at Charleston, when it comes to be
well understood, will meet with but little
sympathy from the great mass of the South
ern people. 1t was movement, disorgan-
izing in its nature, and anarchial in its ten
dency, and finds favor. principally, with q
few sore-heded politicians, who have moth
ing to loose, but everything to gain by d
disruption of the Democratic party.
We beg to assure our northern democrat.
ic friends that the South, as it ever has beeu
is still with them. Ingratitude is one o.
those sins that can never be laid at the door
of the southern people, and as long as they
have the memory that the northern Democ
racy assisted them to annex Texas, pass tho
fugitive slave law and repeal the Missouri
restriction, they will prove their loyalt,
whatever may be the course of the Yancey
ties or essionists.-4Nemphis Appeal.

SEVENTY ACRES PLowED BY STEAM
Emery's Prairie Farmer has an account of
the workings of the steam plow of Mr.. Wa
ters, which the editor has seen in operation.
1t turns over SIX furrows. nine feet in width
at the same time, and in 72 minutes includ-
ing stops, it plowed rather more than two
acres and half. The whole cost Of run
ming the machine is estimated at 80. About
seventy-fve acres had been turned over
when the account was written, and the in
ventor had just commenced on a still larg-
er job. 1t is not pretended that the invea-
tion is perfect, but the editor thinks deci-
ded advance has been made towards . prac-
tical solution of the problem of ploughing

He is defaultef to the amount Of S179,60O,
which is supposed to have been made dur

was revealed last Saturday as a sequence of
the Charleston convention. United States
Marshal Rynders received orders to arrest
Mr.. Fowlel on last Saturday. Mr.. Fowler
left his residence on Sunday morning, and
his present whereabouts is not known. 1t
is thought that this matter was known in
the Sixth Auditors Office, at Washington,
a long time ago. 1t is believed that great
part Of the money was spent to carry Penn
sylvania for Buchanan in 1856. 1t was ru-
mored last night that Mr.. Fowler had COM

credited. TIE Hon. Junius Hilyer, solicit
