These persons to whom this is profitable, are, first, the grog shop politician*, who, as I am informed, try to keep together each of them a clique or gang of 'lri?n voters, by unmeaniug national ^onsenso aud patriotio palaver?>aad so are tn a condition to bargain with candidates for office. Secondly,1 it is profitable to your Grace; you are thus I flSfhwked with a kind of Trwh organisation, i which, for the interests of the Church, you > j- :_i. A. cmi miu uv tui 11 niw mi lrran orgniiimuon, dMQil wioW the sumo as a politico-ecclessi* ^jStical power to influence American politics ?not of course to sorvo any object of personal ambition, (in a Catholic perlate that is 'impossible,') but for the advantage of the Church of God. Mysterious are the ways of Providence ? 8ce liow a Church of Cod m?j be benefitted by corner grog-shops ! Thrrdly, it is profitable to the ringleaders of Natito Americanism, who are enable, by pointing to this partnership between Chilrcn and grog-shop, rowdyism rotgnt and religion, Jo alarm and irtatate decent Americans, make them hate both Irishmen and CathoI ica, and so give up their political consciences and votes into the keeping of them, the Native ringleaders, who are, I presume, the very worst men-in America;some of whom are Englishmen or Orange Irishmen in the English interest; and who are at all events playing the English game here. "Therefore 1 wou/d willingly distract and divide the 'Irish mind' of American citizens ; | I would introduce 'disunion' among them, | making some of them Democrats, some i whigs, some Uards some Softs, some Silver Greys, and some, if possible, even Free Soilers,?any thing, in short, but Know Nothings dr Abolitionists. The 'Iri>h Strength'?the 'Irish Vote,' I would break up and al?olish utterly,?insomuch that never more should prudent Yankeo pipe-layer know where he my lay a pipe to draw the Irish vote to his platform ;?never, never more should priest1 or bishop undertake (in the interest of the Church ofOod)to lead his sheep with pastoral crozicr into the pleasant pastures of the Hards, or by the still waters of Old Fogyism. Not as Irishmen, not as Catholics, but as bona fills American citizens I would have them go about their, daily business and ex- j ercisc their common franchise. If they go ^ on sleepingj together four deep in the Calvary Cemetery, the simultaneous uprising of1 so many Irishmen will be enough to arouse. Native American spirit at the last day ; and the trump of 'he Resurrection will be the i signal for the cry of' Wide A wake /'" Hew York: Demooracy. A despatch to the New York Herald, da-' ted Albany, September, 26, says : "It is currently rumored about town to- t day that the meeting of the two democratic.! State committees meet in this city the same ! day?Thursday?is an omen reconciliation. 1 The hards called their meeting first, and then the softs immediately followed. It is whispered that Anson Clark, the soft candidate for Canal Commissioner, is prepared to decline, arrangements having cordially been made to nominate him fur C\>nrrm?? tlint Andrews will withdraw ou consideration of. being restored to the wnrdcnsliip of the Sing Sing prison ; thnt Seymour has been tendered the place at Madrid recently occupied by Sonle. The withdrawal of these respective candidates will be offered to the hard committee, and the soft portion of the democracy about face in|o the Nronson ranks. Nothing is said in relation to Ludlow, it being unnecessary, aa lie has been effectually used up by Abijali Maim. But the hards ofler f no gu'ul pro quo in consideration of the with- ; drawal of the Seymour ticket. The fact that} Judge Hronson occupies the same position ' with Seynionr on the temperance question , will facilitate the coalition. The Mercantile Spy System. .. Our readers mast liavo heard of a combi-, nation formed time since, constituted nf mercantile* spies, whose office it was to travel throughout the Uuited States, and, by a species of inquisition, to possess themselves, | not only of the secrets of every man's buai- ,1 ness and his resources, but his character and j habits. There was a regular organization of this spy system?this mercantile espionage?with the headquarters at New York, 1 and rainiticalions whatever it was coven ion t or profitable to establish a connection. Now, it. w ill be seen by the most cursory view that such agencies could be made formi-, liable engines to undermine credit aud dea- -; troy character. Admitting the abstract pro- i j priety of such proccedures, the sources ufer- j ( roncous information are so funny, and the j field is SO iliri/C. for llie. maliM A# liitrwmonJi. ! ' p . iliat no probable benefit of obtaining accu-i< rate intelligence of the real standing of mer-1 cautile houses could outweigh this mischiefs of such a system. We are glad, therefore, that the courts aiding public opinion in destroying an inquisition so pernicious. A verdict at New York, brought by Hale A Murdoch against S. Ik Church, in which $5,000 damages have been awarded, for injury done to their mercantile credit and reputation. Charleston News. Hard to Swallow.?The Greenock (Scotland) Advertiser, tells us the following "good oreA farm servant in this neighborhood wns saved from suffocation on Friday last, in * highly original and ingonions manner. A bone having stuck in her throat during dindbr, and none of the family being able to get it extricated, her master called in tlio {instance of a neighboring farmer who was passing by. The latter fastened a string to a piece of meat, and the girl with a gn at effort having managed to swallow it, rapidly jerked it out again, and th# hone along with it. I E. W. CARR, N".

M'KINNEYj Slabtown, P:0., Anderaon Diet THE CITIZEN, . < r J Stcu ia the iiaujw of. a paper printed 5u New York, and odited by the Irish Patriot, John ^Titciikl. Ill to-day *a paper wftt Iw> found a well written article addressed to the, " Irish in America," which is filled with sound j sense, and calculated to have an effect upon those for whom it i* intended and tl?ev f.mn a no small number in tbe aggregate of our population. Mitchel is opposed to the Know Nothings?and justly too?-but at the same time judges correctly of the cause of their necesitous organization. When Irish, as well as other classes of foreigners, cement together?form companion and hold them-! selves aloof from all other societies?making ' themselves at one and the same timo valua-! l>lo material for the political deinagoguo oud trickster?holding themselves thereby subservient to the machinations of designing men, it is enough to arouse Nativism and make it look about for its protection now 1 and safety hereafter from the continual infusion of men and manners not unlike the preMot foreign population of this country.; And so long as they thus act in concert together, to the detriment, as we think, of re ' puhlicanism, we do not know hut that the in| tercets of tho country, and the interests of society mid individuals, demand a like unanimity of feeling with those opposed to such proceedings, even if be obtained, in part, by politico-religious organizations. Mitciikl is right?and in every article he has written | we find the sure evidences of a great mind, which has been wielded in favor of our in- J stittitions, and against Abolitionism, Free-' soil ism, Catholicism, and injustice and ag-1 gression in no matter what shape to be found. THE ELECTION. Nkxt Monday and Tuesday will afford to the "unterrificd " a fine opportunity to exercise their greatest privilege : voting for whom- i soever and whatsoever they please! Almost every Candidate has liis own principles ?fighting beneath his own banner and upon his own dunghill. There may be a choice of, men, but to select principles the voter would j not be unlike the man who hiui the four J kinds of meat, to-wit: ram. Iamb, sheep and : mutton?but n little preference. So far as we have ascertained, all the Can- i didates for the Legisl iturc nre in favor of aj change in the Electoral system; upon the j School question there is likewise a unaniini-; tv ; a number are in favor of establishing a Penitentiary, and whilst all of them deprecate the evils of intemperance (so far as they have publicly announced any opinion) are opposed to legislating upon tbe subject. For the benefit of those wishing to fill out their j tickets, or make a selection, we present the , namee of the Candidates : Maj. B. F. Per- 1 rv, Peiiry E. Duncan, Esq., >V. P. McBee, J Esq,, Dr. E. Gastt,* J. K. Sto^k, Esq., j and the Two Standino Candidates ! There is a baker's dozen of applicants for 1 the office of Tax Collector, and good men and true and among the number?but it is the universal opinion that some of them will be beaten ; at the same time wo know of six or seven wno say tuey are certaiu of be-1 ing elected ! Voters, make a selection?you have the right If you cannot, out of the large number of good and competent men offering for the different offices, you must bo fastidious. Since the above was in type, we learn from a card that Dr. Cantt has declined. MISS BRENAN'S CONCERT. Misb IIuknan favored our citizens with \ Concert on Wednesday evening last, which , is to l>e the last she will give, at least in the Cancer of the Mountains, before her departure for Europe. Tho Concert was held at the Mansion House, which was early filled with the beauty and fashion of our village, who have upon each succeeding occasion, thronged to hear her. She was assisted by Mr. IvKorpKu, who, as a musician, sustains the reputation of an accomplished pcrfromer. The selections from "Lucretin Borgia," (the favorite of the much lamented Soutao,) were sting so sweetly that the audience was j completely enraptured. "Home, Sweet Home," she sang most charmingly, and "Coming through the Rye," has sweeter charms whene'er again she sing* it. But the crowning piece, which always brings a smile from her friends, was " I'm Over Young to Marry Yet," und whilst singing it, ber countenance-ao beautifully expressed tbe sentiments of the song, we truly thought " 'twould be a shame, to take her from her music yet?'

Having finally convinced them, as he thought, of the soupduess of that portion of his political code, he urtforlunately stumbled upI ?1.A T> !i i! 11 a I TT. aL iJ t a . uii iuv i ciuu.'uu)krv Huujwi i xie mougiH ll necessary And expedient that an institution of the kind should l>e located in the State, and like a certain editor was in regard to tbc Asylum, he icould like to ace it located in Greenville District somewhere i perhaps at Paris Mountain?as to'this the deponent snyeth nothing. This was a "corker" for somo of thcin, and in little or no time he found loud opposition. . Finding it no go,he bethought himself of a new feature in the liquor subject, and fell oncoanore upon that, (a dernier resort) and tbe scales changed in his favor as suddenly as they had but a short time before gone upon the other hand. We think of making a few remarks, deducing from this incident an argument in favor of the reform movement. There is not, we verily bolieve, a Temperance man in the State?favoring a prohibitory law?who is anxious that the question should be made a test nt tbe nresent election. Neither Howe believe they have hud anything to do in the propounding of questions to candidates with regard to their views upon this Bubject. We know of no candidate, at least in the npcountry, who is stumping it or favoring a Prohibitory Law. Opponents of tho measure have gotten up the whol^wattcr themselves, whilst the other party is standing aloof from the contest The opponents of restriction upon the sale of ardent spirits fear I the contest?rthoy anticipate its coming, am] by their t>Ucuuoik>ne.ss may avert its coming for a time. The minds of the people are rapidly changing in this respect, audit will require but a few years more to enable tlie friends of Law, Order, and the much perverted, do\vu-trod<lcn and little-appreciated liberty, to bring to the polls a sufficient number of votes to secure at least a change in onr present license system. But to the Liquor and Penitentiary subject No man can with a feeling true to humanity, and a proper regard for the failings of mankind, advocate the manufacture of alcoholic drinks, their free consumption, the right to get drunk, and all that, at the same time advocate the importance of a Penitentiary system. Why not abate at once, and at the fountain, the very source of the evils calling forth the necessary erection -1 A-l ? -* A llf 1 1 * * - - vi bucu an csutonanment. e iioiu ll to lio a self-evident fact, that if we bad no distilleries nnd groggeries, there wonkl be little or no use for a Penitentiary. But ao long as we are to have them, and the State in a measure abets in the work of making drunkards and murderers, let there be a place for the keeping of them. And in the event it is established we would like especially to see a place fitted up for the accommodation of the dlstillerera. It is reasonable that the cause should go with the ell'ecta. THE LADIE'S FAIR. The Fair of the Ladies of the Baptist Church, which was held on Thursday evenrng of last week, reflected much taste upon the ladies of our village. Many beautiftil and useful things were presented, and we understand near $500 wcto realized from the profits of the Exhibition. on'bit. It ie aaid th?t the Town authorities of Anderson have taken some |w>or fellow's license away from him?finding that it was fast becoming a nuisance. This rosy be a story?dike many things told of Anderson. Tor Si* ftathm BnMrpriM. OFFICERS OF THE T. V. A T.

Tlie Petersburg Intelligencer, in an article beaded "Literature at tho South," refers to souie recent taunts of the Tribune, in rela' tion to the warm, reception of Putluan's Mngazit)* at lite Souths The Intelligencer makes some quotations of a very insulting character from -the Tribune, and applies to them the following remarks, which deserves universal attention. 'What is remarkably curious too,' it says, Hu these protests, is that the literary patronage, of the South is a matter qf great moment" I * * ' "Those Southern writers talk as if their subscriptions to a magazine were absolutely essential to to its existence." "When they succeed in giving an efficient support to a single magazine of their own, it will be time enough for them to brag of tbeir literary benevolence and pecuniary magnifienco."? "Jcrshuau is waxiug fat. After having for nearly ualf a century luxuratcd upon Southern softness in tlio shape of an enormous voluntary tribune which has built up their cities, and nearly the whole stricture of their present wealth aud.power, these Northern beneficiaries, if the Tribuno is to be believed, can now do very well without us. A short time since that journal asserted w ith great sang froid that Southern merchants dated not ' to show themselves in the streets of New i York least they tniglu be disagreeably re- ! minded of their debts to the merchants there. ! It is to bo wished that these tan nts and snr-j casms may have the effect of rousing the South to a proper sense of her diguity and true interests, and to the pursuit of a wise policy in future. Let us, say we, gue tin of: tieient support to our owu literature and our own commerce, which wo have been so long and so suicidally neglecting to do. Let us deal with the North in a way to conviuce her that we are not altogellicrjinsonsiblo or unworthy of the va t r s u ces aud facilities with which nature has supplied us for an independent commerce and an independent literature. Let us spoil.I more of our money ai nonie ami joss aoronu. \\ e go u?r southera Periodicals?for Southern Books and for Southern Rights. Wo arc not for severing j our connection with the North, but only stripping it of its vassalage. Wc arc not for sundering ties, hut for breaking chaius. Wc are not for uou-iutercourse, but for less humiliating and more profitable relations. The Sandwich Islands Treaty. The Albany Evening Journal, which speaks apparently ex cathedra, asserts posi tively that a treaty for the annexation of the Sandwich Islands is now in Washington, the sulwtance of which is as follows : "The Inlands are to be at once admitted ; into the Union, not as a territory, but as a ! State?with full sovereign power. In eon- j siderntion of this surrender of their national ! sovereignty, the. Unitod States, besides agree- j ing to respeot all existing charters, land titles, { &C., are to pay some #300,000 or #-100,000 annuity as life annuities to such persons as j the sovereign authorities shall designate." There are other provisions of the treaty | which its negotiators must have consented , to, no less extraordinary than that stipula- j ting for the admissiou of these Islands as a State, and not as a territory. Annuities are provided for the royal families and nobles, amounting to about thirty individuals, which pensions are to cease witu Uieir natural lives. Ah tliA avprnrn of tlioit utma* ? JO g, -81* "* | this would niuko a snug turn. The pension 1 system haw never been extende<l beyond the l Indians of this continent, whose peculiarity , of relation to the United Stales, that of tutelage, rendered it necessary ; bnt whether it; would be proper to originate a system of this kind with outside barbaiiane, would be a j question of policy. "Besides the sovereignty j of the Islauds, all the government property, | including buildings, claims upon foreign gov- , eminent*, Ac., will, it is understood, be transferred to the United States Government by j this treaty. The value of these buildings < alone is said to exceed $1,500,000, and the j claims upon the British and Freuch Govern-1 mcnts amount to about *500,000 more; ma-. king an aggregate of *2,000,000. Tm. Journal of Commerce states that the j uunillTO w |?rc??TVlIlg iru 118, 1116018, <VC., Ill air-tights cans, has become of considerable importance since the existence of a large demand from California. One concern had an order from Huston, last month, for 12,000 cans of peaches, and another for 7,000 cans of huckleberries. The apparatus used is Green's l'atent. It consist of a strong iron receiver, furnished with glass lights, ana connected with up air-pump capable of producing a vacuum of 15 lbs to the inch. This J pressure is regulated at will by a barometer. The friiit, or other substance, is placed in cans ! made air-tight, with the exception of' a small ; perforation having solder metal placed | around it. Several of these cant are then put I in the receiver, and the apertures aforesaid are closed with great facility, by means of a heated iron worked from without tb rough the I top of the receiver, by a universal ball joint To render the exclusion of air more complete, heat i^introduced into the receiver by a small pipe, and can be maintained at as high $ toraBrature as 300 deg., but from 72 to 80 deg., rpial to 212 deg., or boiling heat without the vacmim) is the temperature ordinarily preferred. In this way the gases contain in'the meats, fruiu, <fcc., are released and expelled. A woiuhb* pfOphet'down South, said lately, hft one of nis sermons, that he "was sent to redeem the world and all tilings therein." Whereupon a native pulled out two Ave dollar bilie on a broken bank, and asked him to fork ovor the specie for them, 1 bi compelled to withdraw within its own limits, and that an armed force ahouid be employed to enforce tliia stipulation, without actual war between parties thus brought into this belligerent relation, it a most extraordinary chapter in this history. Austria engages with Turkey to ffto her territory' of tee invader, who has encroached on her rights, contrary to express treaty, and yet Austria declares that on the part of the invader there hi no cause of war. Austria enters into obligations with the Allies, to preserve the integrity of the Ottoman territory and the independence of Turkey figaint, what she admits* to be acts in defiance of treaty, acts which are unprovoked, leading to. the rupture of thfe* balance of power, and yet Russia, which has done all this, lias furnished, says Austria, nei casus Mii. "Whatever may be the conclusion of policy, there is here certainly no logical relation. The posture of aruivd neutral', ity would be admissible if Austria had not entered into treaty obligations, both with the Ottoman l'orte and the Allies, which lead by necessary inference to one of active hostility.

If she should participate in lite beneiita of this maritime freedom, how can she, in justice and in the spirit of her treaty obligations, throw on France and England all the burdens of the war in the Crimea, while her armies remainI inactive I We cannot comprehehd the logic of this diplomacy.? Char. AVte.v. 1 ??? The Rice Crop*. The Pee !>ec limes of yesterday savs:?1 "Since the memorable gale of the 7lh, 8th, and Oth, we have had very unsettled weather. For several day* past the weather ha* been cool and pleasant, with varying winds, i and the harvesting of the rice crop j>er?isted iu with great activity, and much active work' has been done.

We may say, however, that the damage to the nee field hanks l<as been much heavier than was stated. In some exposed sitUirtions tho remaining crops will have to be harvested without the aid of bank* to keep out the water. "When wc penned the above paragraph | last evening the wind had changed to the | South, and a hope is left tliat we may not 1>c afflicted with another gale, although the heavy showers of rain yesterday and the gust of wind at two o'clock gave us many apprehensions." Caution id tub IVulic.?Tho Louisville Journal ?ays : Twenty-five thousand dollars of the $10 billsoftlie Mechanics' Bank, Memphis,Tennessee, were stolen from tho room of the 1 Yesid cut, on the 15tli inst. They are numbered from 1 to 1,250, inclusive, and dated July I 4, 1854, with n large blue X engraved on the lower side of the hill, between the vignettes. | The President states that none of the bills : of the above date, mark, aud denomination have been put in circulation by the bank,1 and will not l?e paid. I Of course, however, if they are fully signed aud fairly received the bank will have to pay them, notwithstanding its protest. It is not the fault of the public that they were stol- j en, but tliat of the bank, whose officers did not take sufficient care to prevent the theft. Tiir Kansas Seal.?We have just seen the *eal of the Territory of Kansas, engraved by Robert Lovett, of Philadelphia, according to the design of Governor Keeder. It consists of a shield with two supporters and surmounted by a scroll motto, and is emblematic "f the life of the pioneer and Uie agriculturalist. The lower coiupurtment of the shield contains the buftalo and the hunter? the upper contains the implements of agricul- j ture. The left liaud supporter is a pioneer with his smock frock, leggins, rifle and torn a hawk ; whilst on tlie right is the Goddess Ceres with Iter sheaf, and at their feet, and between them, lies a fallen tree and axe. The motto is a beautiful aud striking allusion to the principlo on which the territory was organized, aud consists of the "Popuuvocx | nata," translated?Born e/ tk* popular will. The whole design is, we think, well devised,] highly suggestive, and in excellent taste. [A'aston, (Pa.) Arytu. Bishop Ondkrdonx.?The New York Churchman comes out in favor ot restoring; Bishop Onderdonk on the ground of Justice to the Bishop, the harmony of the <4inv*t. the spirituaTinterests of the diocese, ftud da-j ty to God. We extract a passage from tlii* article: "Lastly, and more emphatically than all, God himself demands it. It was no trivini injustice to the king of Heaven to deprive his Church of a zealous chief pastor in'his flock, to discredit religion, by setting a mark of shame upon a bishop who had neen regarded as one of its chiefest ornaments during a long course of years.

It is a land of marvels ah<1 marvellous phenomena, natural and uuuatarnl. The ]>apeiv by the Inst steamer told us of the discovery of a lake, the waters of which were so largely possessed of the principle of buoyancy that tlie huntau body would not sink in it. Still more extraordinary is the ! discovery of a subterranean pass through the mountains of the Sierra Nevada. .; ! No doubt all this is true; we can believe almost anything after the "buoyant water ' storybut then there havo been so many like drafts on our credulity from the timto quarter, in times past, that we must bo etI cused if w e insist on time to consider whether it is best to take tlio above all down aa ' -lactH," or to spiue it with a "few grains of i allowance." By the Way, it may not be impertinent to inquire of our California contemporary what ! has boeo*ie of the "remains of the wonderful city" some Major Longbow discovered near the head waters of the Colorado last summer? We should like to have an in- j 2nest on those "remains," if they can be uiid. The "strange people" inhabiting | that same "city" we should also like to hear 1 from, at earliest convenience. ' ' ' The Truth must Prevail. When Boston closed tlie gates of Faneuil Hall upou her great Webster the heart of the country opened unto hiin. When Philadelphia hung the palaces of her merchant princes in sable because Jackson had defied the Bank of the United States, Labor uplifted his broad brow and blessed the hero who had resisted the monster.
