Oue paper yesterday informed onr reader*
of the nomination made at Pbiladeipia of
'*the candidates for president and Vice Prcsident
of the United States by the Convention
of the "Aoterican Party,n namely Millard
Fillmore for Presided and Andrew
Jackson Donolson for Vice President. As
are are not members of that party, we
should conceive that we had no right to
uiid fault with iu? selection were it in r.i17
reepect objectionable, *o, perhaps, it is not
partieulaly incumbent on us to praise its
choice, free as it not only is from exception,
but fit proper and worthy, as everybody
knows the distinguished citizen to be whom
the party has chosen as their candidate for
the presidency. What course the whigs
may pursue under the present political circumstances
of the country, which candidate
they may select or what person they may
support for tho Chief Magistrate, it is not for
us to decido or foi one to snv. It will doubtlew
be deemed proper by tiiem to take council
together as to the path which their duty
to the eouulfv and their priuciplcs shall prescribe,
and that path, we as unwavering adherents
of that part)', shall be prepared to
tread without hesitation and without faltering.
Whether they shall resolve upon an
inuependant course or not, and whether it
lead to success or failure, belong to the future,
but wo should l>? unfaithful to our own
-sentiments and uniform avowals if we were
to suppress now the expression of our pinion
of the merits of Mr. Fillmore and the
confidence with which on trial ho inspired the
country in his qualification for a wise and
safe and conservative President.
:7;Of the respectable gentleman whom tho
party has placed on their ticket for the Vice 1
Preidency we are less qualified to speak.?
lie is a man of talents and of some experience
in public affairs, having reposented the
country abroad, both at Merlin and Frankford.
lie is a meuber of Gen Jackson's
family and once a leading member of the
Democratic party, but his career has been
marked by great political independence, j
evincing integrity and patriotism.? Xalioii- j

? ? - ?Mr.
William Cooke's two wonderful
informing elephants have been purchased
t?y Mr. Sands, tho celebrated American c- ;
auestrian manager; at an immense cost, for .
le circus of Sands & Nathans, and nre now
on their way to New York in tho packet ]
hip "Northumlxnlaiul." Tire astonishing
performances of these animals defies all des
cription, and has been the theme of univerval
wonder and admiration wherever they
have appeared. They stand on their heads
and on their hind legs, sit up and lie down
at the word of command, inarch and per
form a variety 01 icats too numerous 10 oe
described here; but the most astonishing
frat of all is the ascension of one up a narrow
inclined plane to a height of between
twenty and thirty feci, a? the top of which
is a small circular pedestal. The huge animal
having accomplished the perilous as"
cent, stands on his head and hind feet alternately,
which to be believed must be seen,
clearly proving that, although so clumsy in
appearance, they possess more than an ordinary
share of agility.

A Jl'doe Fining Himself.?Under this
heading the Baton Bongo Comet of Wednc3
day last, has tho following :
Judge W. B. Robertson, of the Sixth District
Court, on discharging the grand jury
Tuesday Ia>t, reprimanded himself f<>r bar- j
ing forgotten the day fixed by law for the j
present terra of court in this parish, and fur
this oversight informed the jury that he
should nne nimsen iweniy-nve oouars. no
immediately drew a cheek for the amount,
and handing it to tho Sheriff inatructed him
to collect the same and give it to tho Female j
Orphan Association of Hnton Rouge.
Such an act calls to mind the record of an- \
cient Rome, wheu judges and legislators
were so heroically allied to justice and tho 1
laws, as to deal penalties on their own sons
and brothers when tliey transcended the,
laws, with such firmness and decision, as j
justly entitled them to claim kindred with :
ihe gods.

Extraordinary.?The last num
ber of the Herald, published at Camden,'
Ark., contains the following :
"A few days since a negro woman be- j
longing to Col. John Dockerv, the worthy i
President of our railroad, was delivered of
four children at one birth?three girls and j
one boy; their average weight is seven
pounds each. When last lu-ard from, tho
mother and her little darkies were doing:
well. The Colonel has named the children j
after his favorite enterprise, Mississippi, Ouachita
and Red River Railroad, giving the
girls the names of the three rirors and call- j
ing the boy Railroad. The women and her
husband wore both at work on the railroad i
during the past year. This occurrence is
regarded as a favorable omen of our road,

Thus writes O. A. lJrownson, the great

of Lafayette, "If ever the liber ties

Mountain Lodge, No. 15, I. O.O. P.
At a mooting of Mountain Lodge, held
on Friday, 14tli inst., the following preamble
and resolutions were read and unanimously
adopted :
But a short timo since Mountain Lodge,
was clothed in tho habiliments of mourning
for tho loss of one of its purest and best members,
and now again wo have to deplore tho
death of another shining light. Alas, how
rapidly aro we all passing away! In tho
prime of life, in tho.midst of his usefulness,
in an unexpected moment, our late brolhor
\V. P. Tun tin has been snatched from among
us. His remains have been dc-positcd in the
cold and silent grave, and the last sad rites
been performed by his brethren and friends.
Tho mournful duty now devolves upon us
to express our regret for his premature loas.
our regard for him as as brother and our
sympathy for his bereaved and afflicted widow.
A few days ago, we beheld him in
tho full possession, of his mental and phyiscal
powers in the actiro discharge of
his important duties as a physician, a citizen,
an Odd Fellow.
After a slight indisposition as we all
thought and honed, wo wore startled with i
the intelligence, "Dr. Tukpik U dead." The
shock that followed tlie announcement of
hiit death fully attests the estimation in which
he was held by this community, and how
faithfully and satisfactorily ho performed the
various duties of lif;. Hut Odd Fellows
alone cat) fully appreciate his devotion to the
pure principles of "Friendship, Love, and
Truth." In lite practice of these noble virtues
lie displayed an ardent Zealand un*,
compromising attachment. His intercourse
with the world at large was characterised bv
an open and manly expression of his opinions,
ami an honesty of purpose th ?t sho nc
out brilliantly in all his dealing with his fellow
man. As a friend he was sincere and true,
as a phv-ieian he was kind and attentive
manifesting at all times a warm sympathy
for the distress of others, and a confident
hope in the relief of their snfToi ings.
Br it thrraforc, Besolt'td, That while wo
bow with humble submission to the will of
God, we still mourn the loss of our late i
brother, and will ever cheiish the highest re- j
gard for his vii lues and memory.
licsolvrd, That we tender to his afilicted !
widow our sincere and heartfelt sympathy,
for her irreparable loss.
Jicnolvcd, That as a mark of respect, our
Lodge bo clothed in mourning, and that the
members will wear the usual badge for thirty
day*.
Resolved, That a pngo in our Record
Hook be inscribed with hU name, and be
dedicated to his momoiy,
Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions
bo sent to the widow of the deceased, and be
furnished the papers of the village for publication.

pieamble and resolutions, which wore passed:
Whereas, In the wise dispensation of divine
Providence, Death has claimed as a victim
a member of this body, and whilst we
humbly submit and bow with resignation toi
tho will of Him who doethall things wisely,
we cannot refrain from feeling that pain and
regret which all must feel in the death of one
with whore we have been intimately associated,
and upon whom wo have looked with
love and respect.
Be it therefore
Resolved, That iu tho death of Dr. \V. P.
Turpin this community has lost n worthy
citizen, and an active, euergetic and zealous

Georgia is a great Stute; great in
native intellect, great in the oxtent of lier
domain and population, and greater in her
resources and public spirit. When her democracy
sound their whistle, the car of the
general government oomes to a pause, and
as the engine of State Sovereignty moves
up, the Federal wheels take the retrograde
motion. Georgia is a host of herself, and i
in the event of a collision from any quarter '
she will proven valuableanxilliary and such j
an exigency see ins to be closo at hand, as i
the South is left but one alternative, viz : to <
unite to a man and defend their rights and <
institutions or surrender them. Tho teat '

conspire to fore bode disastrous consequen- J
cos. I have no hope short of a sejxiration, i

between foreign states against, the govern-'
ment of the United States indispensable.? |
Their own pretensions depends upon a un'

of Tenn., in his speech on Tuesday, upon the
Kansas question, took occasion to nil tide to
the Freesoil Senators, Hale, Wilson, Summer,
etc., concluding thus': "The deiil takes
care of his own, and this accounts for their
prosperity."
Mr. Hale?if it had not been for the Kansas
Bill, f should not now bo here. I owe
my election to the President, who must be
the only devil that brought me to Congress.
Mr. Jones?if that is true, tho Senator is
the most ungrateful wretch that over lived,
as he continually attacks the Prosident.
The Independence Belye, which ranks among
the best informed of tho European
Continental journals, comments upon ths
election of Mr. Banks ns Speaker of the
House of Representatives as follows:
"Tho nc?v Spcakor of tho House is a Hack
of Massachusetts, who belongs, as his color
sufficiently indicate*, to the extreme party
of Abolitionists. This, then, is a victory '
gained by the North over the South. Upon
tho whole, tho journals declare themselves
satisfied with the choicd. Mr. Banks
is a man of firm and upright mind, endow- '
ed with great political sagacity, and as his
antecedents all attest, with a calm wisdom." 1

whose dree* is old, that he looks "seedy,"?

a diverting incident, to say that it is "rich."
All slang words are detestable from the lips
of Indies.' We ere always sorry to h*a# a
young lady say such a word as "polking,"
when sho tells of having engaged in a corain
dance, too fashionable not long since,
but happily, tfow is going out and almost (
banished from the best society. To her
honor be it remembered, Queen Victoria has
prohibited the polka being danced in her
presence. How can a gonteel girl say, "last
night I was polking with Mr. Bell I" or Mr.
Cope askeJ mo to polk with him f" Its
coarse and ill sounding name is worthy of ,
the dance.
We have little tolerance for young ladies,
who, having in reality neither wit nor humor,
set up for both, and having nothing of
the light stock to go upon, substitute eoarse
ness and impertinence (notso say impudence) :
and try to excite laughter and attract the attention
of gentlemen, by talking slang-' <
Where do they pick it up? From low news. (

from low companions. Wo havo heard of
one of those ladies, vrlen her collar chanced j
to be pinned away, aay that it was pinned on

meaning crooking on her head. When submitting
to a thing unwillingly, she was
brought to tho scratch. Sometimes, "she
did things on the sly." She talked of a certain
great vocalist "singing like a beast." ,
She believed it very smart and piquant to
use tliese vile expressions. It is true,-when ,
at parties, sho always had half a dozen gentlemen
about her, their curiosity being ex- ,

The undersigned takes this method of cor'
reining the nib taken impressions of some in
regai d to the sale of the Greenville Mountaineer
to the Southern Patriot. It has
been referred to as a transaction in whieh
the undersigned was a party. This is erroneous.
He had nothing to do with it. The
Mountaineer was never his proporty in
whole or in any part, nor had ho auy agency
in its various sales and transfers. H'.s only
connexion with it was editorial and temporary.
The truth is the Mountaineer was sold
