Mr. EDIToR-

 "The hour arrives, the moment wish'd and feard; The child is born, by many pang endear'd.'

 The above lines are applicable to the great anxiety that has existed in our city for some days past in relation to the birth of the THIRTY FIFTH PARALLEL. I am happy to say to those friends who wished for it's birth as well those who feared such an event, that the child is born and is a viporous chip of the old block, sound in body and mind, with a healthy constitution and sturdy form, without any predisposi- ton to constitutional debility or necessity for the use of quack nostrums or patent medicines. The "rhirty-Fifth Parallel" is ushered into '' this breathing world'' with fair prospect of long and useful life, Doctors, Stote- RigIts and Uaion, who gra- duated under Jefferson and were the attend ing physicians of Jackson, Polk, Pierce, and are now in high favor with Mr. Buch- anan, were the physicians who were in at tendance at the accouchment, and will at tend on him in the future. The "Thirty- Fifth Parallel'' having taken a life mem bership in the democratic party, may al- ways be found by those desiring to see this vigorous offspring of humanity in the de- mocratic fold, side by side with lis breth. < reh. But enough of this, as the paper will speak for itself, and reach you as soon as this, l will say no more on that subject

 The eighth wonder has been here and de- livered himSeD of lis speech. Great efforts were made to get him 6 crowded house, but all proved unavailing; after stirring up the matter for more than week, and adver- tising for hearers and getting the largest church in town, and extra seats, and getting into the most intense excitement, his friends were doomed to disappointment. In a township containing very little short of four thousand population and five hundred voters, the Hon. Mir. Hindman's audience consisted of mag 6e one hundred and fifty persons, not more, school children and some five or sick ladies included, and 1 think there were between sixty and eighty voters, not more: among his hearers there might have been as many as fourteen or fifteen democrats, no more, who went merely to hear what he could say in justification of shis disorganizing course. But alas, noth- ing of that kind was attempted. The first part of his speech was an old song that has l rMlroad for the last four or five years, and was therefore rather stale. The second part was abuse of the last Legislative cautu and Gov. Conway's course in particular The third part was an attempt to justify per dlemists in taking pay for services not rendered in the last legislature, and justify Chg Col. Duval, as speaker, in signing the false accounts of members, knowing them to be false, as true and correct; this was rather hard point for Mir. Hindman to round, but having been brought here for the purpose of justifying this outrageous rob- berx of the State treasury, he made the hest ne could ot bad bargain, and said u acos both legally aud mOrdity right-this I under stand is little further than he goes on this subject, when on the other side of the river

 l see you say in your issue that this conn., ty, Pulaski and Phillips are the only coun ties in the State, where Hindman would hate any chance for a majority-please strike out this county. Mir. Hindman or any other man who advocates the per diem policy of the last legislature, could not get one third of the votes in this county, and If MT. Hlndman could only be persuaded to make his speech in every township in the county he would strengthen the anti per diemists to nine-tenths of the whole vote. The fact is, that our people look upon Mir. Hindman as Sambo did on the old buck, " that 1t is not worth while to waste powder and lead in shooting him, as he is jumping so high he will fall and brake his neck very soon any how"

 Mir Hindman in the fourth place abnsed our Senators in such terms and epithets as Susually are put in requisition by him in his speeches-ss it is not necessary for me to repeat what you and many of your readers have already heard.

 His effort at being witty was peculiarly happy, showing that he was we'll read and had at his tongues end all the funny say ings of Dan Rice's clown book. In con- clusion, he told us some things he had done
