"the gem Of household
~S-.A.@.S.-Es

TON, THE MUSICAL PRoDIGY. With
unfeigned wonder, we listened to one of
the performances of this untaught, blind
negro boy on the Piano, at Junior Hall.
Ills brilliant and tasteful execution far
exceeded anything we had been led to
expect, and we sat in mute astonishment
at the development of his innate genius.
under circumstances ordinarily deemed
an effectual barrier to the attainment of
musical skill-Tom's history is briefly
this: he was born blind, on plantation
near Columbus, Georgia; and on account
of his dreadful affection became a pet in
the family. Thus he gained access to
the piano. and was one day overheard
by the ladies of the household, when he
was scarcely tall enough to reach the
key board, playing on the piano with cx-
ouisite taste and touch. From this time
forth Toms marvellous powers rapidly
matured, He has never had instruction,
and we suppose, is not susceptible of tu-
ition; but he has music in his soul, the
harmony of sweet sounds is part of his
very being, and upon his retentive mem
DRY the strains of melody are indelibly
photographed He plays instinctively,
is faultess in imitation and Unconscious OF
difficulty in execution. He reproduces
with exact fidelity every musical compo-
siton that he hears, on the instant and
remembers it ever after; plays the base
to music that he never heard before and
at the end of the piece will change places
and play the primo. There is no affec-
tation or humbug apout Tom; he is what
he processes to be and nothing more or
less, musical wonder, without recorded
precedent. Crowded houses have every
where greeted his performances, and SO
extraordinary phenomenon will cont n
ue to attract them. He is now exhibit
ing at Hagerstown; but will return here
and repeat his entertainment at Junior
Hall on Monday and Tuesday next, as
specified in the advertisement IN another
part Of ills paper. Fred. Eram.

In our last issue, we called attention to the
fact that the Bulletin bad placed US in false
position before the people, and 10 doing SO
we used some rather severe remarks, not as
severe however as the nature of the case re-
quired, or as our sense of propriety dictated,
but such as wo thought were proper, having
had it intimated to us mot by the editorl
that the falsehood would be corrected While
we had confidence in the gentleman who in
tlmated to us tho probability of the correc-
ton, we had our doubts about the prompt
ness of the editor in making the amcnde, and
having had our attention called to the false
position in which the INSCRIPTIONS editor of
the Bulletin had placed us, we stated that it
was probable the thing would be made right,
to which intimation the prompt response was,
no sir it is not the nature of the editor of that
sheet to do an honorable act, he will either
Justify tho deed or offer some flimsy excuse
for a refusal to make the correction, and so it
has turned ont to be. The severity of our
remarks, Of the justice of which we have
had more than a dozen gentlemen to bear
testimony, has induced the Bulletin man to
refuse correction, on the ground that our
severity puts us out of tho pale Of editorial
courtesy. Surely in this he displays the wis
dom Of Solomon. and has greatly enlight-
ened us, for we have been led to suppose that
II was self-rcspect that led honorable men to
correct their plumbers, and not courtesy
Had we supposed that its editorial columns
after the Bulletin had run up the flag of
Breckinridge-were to continue under the
management and control of the same indi-
vidusl who had declared he eschewed poll
tics as base and debasing," we should never
have INDUCED, oven remotely, the idea that
We could get along pleasantly together, espe-
cially after having sold himself for the loan
Of five hundred dollars to engage in base
and debasing work. Alas. how fallen is hui

A Poser

There was discussion at Marion, Ken
lucky, a few days ago, between James b.
Clay and James B. Beck, in behalf of
Breckenridge, and j r. Bullet and Hon.
John Young Brown, in favor of Douglas
- all Democrats. Brown is the eloquent
and gifted young Congressman from Ken
lucky, and is considered the most prom
Using young man in the Union. Mr.
Browns speech is thus reported by the
Louisville Democrat.
He said he had hesitated when he heard
of the nomination of a powerful son of
Kentucky; but finding that the Senator
from Illinois was the choice of what he
deemed the regular convention, he was
compelled to 60 with the party he had
always supported.
Gle propounded a qucstion to Messrs.
Clay and Beck, which is signif cart, and
which, hope, will be insisted on. That
is: When you fail to obtain that con-
stitutional right you insist upon, what
will you do aboutit? VIII you submit,
or will you seccde from the Union, as you
did from the Democratic convention?
This is the question. Mr.. Brown
got no response. Let every voter in the
State demand an answer to this plain
question. Let us know now where these
leaders are going before we start with
them"
The question propounded by Mr.. Brown
to the Seccders, in the above paragraph,
is perfect poser. 1t is question which
should be put to every Breckenridge
speaker in the Union in the present can
vass.
The socedcrs insist upon the acknowl
cdgment by Congress of the doctrine of
profession to slavery in the Territories,
and demand that said doctrine shall be
applied in the Territories, when neces-
sary. We repeat Mr.. Browns ques-
ton to them:
"When you JaHo obtain tia. Cons'i
tutionaI right you insist upon, 'chM ~tE
you do about 1t? Wa you submit or pW
ysu seccde from tie Unio", as yon did
fran, a Democratic Conucntion!"
What Is the position of the Maryland
Seccders on this point? Will the Bull

The Importance Of concerted and organized

apparent to need comment. Never perhaps
since the foundations of the Republic were
laid did there exist period more rortentous

ner, the Importance of tho Union lightly es-
timated and tho fears of those who feel for
its preservation secuted as unworthy of fear
less and noble natures. Indeed it is asserted
on evidence that bears the aspect of relabili'
ty, that there exists in the Southern section
