ENGLISH AND,TRISII AFFAIRS.—There has been no

are about 210, or at most 210 ultra democratic mem

them a vastly greater influence in the present, than
they possessed in the old Assembly. There will be
rising of suo members electeed by the various other

THE Lszcsr.—Vienna papers of the 27th give
the following details respecting the surrender of
Wen:—
"Up to this hour official reports are wanting con
corning the fate of Ofen; meanwhile, we give to
the public what details we have been able to gather
from trustworthy sources. The first storming part: ,
advanced to.the assault at ten on the night of the

ramparts in several places. but were repelled with
great loss, 400 10 . 500 being killed. The second as

Corros AcTonit AT Rio JANEIRO .-.-YASKBE
Go - tbs.—We have a letter from a gentleman at Ri o
Janeiro,. giving an acccuut of itvisit to a cotton
factory in, that place. It is live miles from the
city, at the base of highest peak in Brazil. It is
built' of stone, clay: - mortar, wood and bamboo,
whitewashed insuiel and out, and driven by steam.
Around it grow in wild Inxuriance,oranges, lemons,
figs, olives plantains, bananas, cocoa nuts, palm
trees, and a thousan'd other tropical fruits, trees
and flowers. The proprietor of this is an English
man, who went out two years ago from Canton in
this state, taking with hint six Enelkh and Ameri
can girl, from that 'vicinity. Your of these girls
have married since they reached the country, and
the other two are about to take husbands. The let
ter says the interior of the mill resembles the sweat
pit of a tannery more than anytning else. There
was six girls in the weave room—three Yankees,
one IlogliA and two Brazilians. The writer adds,
that his entrance itt neck trowsers, a tarpaulin and
red flannel shirt,'was rega - rded with suspicion at
first by the assembled girls, but when they found
he was a Yankee they were write sociable. The
prettiest girl of the whole, smiled very coquettish
ly, as much as to sa3J l —oy,,,, didn't expect to see
such a pretty girl as I here—did you, now'!" She
told me to ndvi-ie all ILowell girls, who want to get
married, to come to Rio. but I advise all such to gn
to California.—Lerc4ll Journal.
AN OLD NEWSPAPAR.—The 'New York Evening
Post, which dates the - commencement 'of . its present
series al 1810, has' been favored with a copy of a
paper bearing
,the same name, dared Sept. 8, 1746.
The loner is Diederick Duchinck aged 125 years.
The sheet is twelve inches long and eight wide,
with two columns on a page. It contains foreign
news. There is intelligence from the Hague to
the Ist of June—it took two or three months to
hear from Hague then—news from Vienna of the
Bth of June, from Fran Kurd of the sth, and Liege
of tli 10th, awl from Brussels of the 20th. The
Frenich were Men preparing to send supplies to
Quebec to sustain itself against the English—the
Austrians and Spanish armies were ready for a bat
tle before Placentia—Europe in short, was convulsed
with a -general war, and in Scotland a civil war was
raging..
Among the advertisements is one offering rewards
for deserters belonging to an expedition against
Canada, and one of a farm for sale, at Bloomindal,
on °the Iludson, together with horses, cows, wagons,
and one negro, enumerated among the personal
property.—Rochester Daily . 1 1dver Ilse, .
POISON nu BY Roo? BIER —The Blairsville dipal
achian of the 30th ult. says, that a number of per
sons in that neighborhood have been suffering, for
some time past, with sickness, said to have been
can.ed by drinkilig beer, iti which some poisonous
herb or root is supposed to have been used by mis
take.
Five s persons, who had drunk of the beer, have
since died. It is stated that a Mr. Ginter had pre
pared a fineetity nflri,ot beer for the muster, on the
first Monday of May; and, by mistake, had used in
the preparation, the roots of the wild parsnip instead
of the roots of sweet myrrh and Sarsaparilla; and
that the liquor hattremained over night in a copper
kettle in which th 3" poisonous weed was boiled.
OUT informant states that Ginter himself fell the
first victim of his poisonous decoction, as also did
one of his sons: and the rest of his family were dan
gerously ill. Samuel Home and a Mr. Dougherty
are mentioned amongst the number of thoiM who
have died by the poison and some 'sixteen or _eigh
teen persons were still suffering severely from its .
effects.
IoLERA DIET.—The N. Y. Sun relates the fol
lowing case: A young man in the upper part of

WHO IS THE PRESHANTI
Every day goes to pile up proof that General Tay
lor is a mere "automaton" President in the hands of
his ;Cabinet. Heal- the New York Express ( Whig:)
The Foreign Missions are now about fillettby the
Cabinet, and it is a'matter of much surprise to very
many thatiCol. Webb of-the "Courier," has been
altogether d isappointed. With the kindliest dispo
sition on t he part of the President, as we understand,
certain_"indiscretions" of his past life have been so
arrayed against him • that the Cabinet would not
press upon the President (and the President did not
feel a t t liberty to take the respousibility,) , of the up-,
poin menti.
There are certain peculiarities in this matter of
the city press, wh_ich here it may be worth the while
to notice. The list Taylor man in this city, and
for some time, "solitary and aloPe," was Mr. Ful
ler, of the "Mirror." The office he asked for
,was
given to a !gentleman who had not a claim in the
world. The only organ that, for a long time, Gen
eral Taylor had among the powerful commercial
and busioess classes, was the "Courier,' whose ed
itor has been mortified and disappointed. The most
inexcusable "indiscretion," it seems to us, that a
political man can commit, is to forget his friends.
But there is'a still stronger end more retnarltablsl
case in the District of Columbia. The incident is
described by two correspondents of the Union. It
appears that the leading Whigs of Georgetown were
zealous for the appointment, of Mr. Linthicum, as
Navy agent at Washington. Thoy were suddetily
startled one morning by the announcente..t of Mr.
Lathrop's !appointment -to the same office: The
Mayor of Georgetown was deputed to the "second
Washingtim," who replied in words to this effect:
"You eau assure your friend Mr. Litithicton, that he
has received the appointment of Navy Agent." The
Georgetovin functionary returned, of course, in good
spirits to announce the result. At that. very mo
ment the commission of Mr. Lathrop had been signed
by Gen. Taylor, and was being recorded in the Na
vy Departtnent. The General thought he had ap
pointed Mr. Linthicum, but the Secretary of the
Navy had; appointed Mr. Lathrop. Again alarm
seized the!Georgetown clique, who were a second
time assured, (though now by Col. Bliss) that Mr.
Linthicom had been appointed. The truth soon
flashed upon them, however, that the mistake had
been muds, and their stupefaction and horror may
well be conceived.—Richmond E.iquirer.
GEORGIA MANUFACTURES AND RAIL
ROADS.
% ithin a few years past, says the Savannah Re
pub I can, the State , of Georgi a, has at one hound
pin ed herself indisputably in advance of any other
Sodthern State, in manufacturing enterprise and in
ternal improvements. NV° have between forty and
fifty manufactories - with from 100 to 500 spindles
in each, in operation in - this State. Our mines have
been partially explored, and we are producing simi
lar railroad iron, castings, marble, lime, at. a rice
so low that it is used in considerable quantities to
revive the worn omit lands of the State•
The eternal fields of cotton, and nothing bat cot
ton, no longer appear in the up country, except.to a
limited extent. The cultivation of that staple in
the Northern counties will comparatively cease in
a few years; and be transferred more and more to
the fertile bottoms of South Western Georffin.—
The hill hides in the Cherokee region and Middle
Georgia,
,are now smiling -with green crops of wheat
and other small grains. •There are flouring mills,
as the Eteiwah, Lebanon, Columbus, those in Clarke,
and else Where, where the wheat is purchased at a
liberal price and converted into flour, which has
some time since found its way to the Atlantic mar
kets, while some has been exported from this cnun•
try to Brazil and other countries. Tho article of
Northern flour is almost banished from this market.
One year the Central Railroad conveyed intu the in
terior 6,000 barrels of Niqthern flour; the year fol
lowing it brought down 6,000 hbls. pf Georgia flour,
the upward current being completely turned.
- These manufactories and railroads have created
home markets. They gave e uployment to the far
trier. carpenter, the mason, the tanner, the miner,
and in short to almost all al o follow the various
and devious ways of human ndustry. The moral
and physical influence of our Railroads in bringing
about this order of things is not stacientry appre4
elated. The Up-Country is now no longer a sealed
book. The travel on the State Road has pr A•Ottly
quadrupled since it was opened to Balton. It will
increase YnStly more when it is completed to the
Tennessee River.
It has been estimated that when the Nashville
and Chattanooga Railroad is completed, the Geor
gialßoad wiJl require four times its present locomo
tive, power. Our great work has already paid back
to the State the cos`t.of its construction in the shape
of a multitude of benefits, beyond the power of cat
culation, and it is not a daring prdphecy to make
that in less than twenty-five years, it will pay all
the debts of the State—principal and interest and
relieve her citizens from all taxation.
GRNERAL GAlNRS.—Generni Gni es was the old•

The first most prominent act in the life of Gen.
Gaines was the arrest 'of Aaron Burr, for the activi
ty dis Played in which President Jefferson appointed
him l marshal.of the United slates.
45articular exploit that gave General Gaines
reputation was his conduct at Fort
Eri , in 1813, which he defended with great ability
from the night attack of a powerful British forte
under the command of Gen. Drummond—the loss
of the British amountir , to 963, while that of the
Americans was only 84.

they are firmly seated in power for the next, four
years, are beginning to show their hands—to avow
their principles. The Toledo Blade, a bitter whig
paper, is out flat-footed for a United States bank!
i The following paragraph we cut from a long ar
ticle in that paper:
"We have always considered, and still consider.
the United States Bank, or something very. like it,

vor of a United States Bank. If q•testioned on the
subject, it would have declared it "obsolete," as did
Webster. No Whig in the Union would have daft.d
to incorporate a bank in the "platform" of the party.

ENCOURAGING FUTURE. raoseturnotv.—Among
the hundred pledges of General Taylor, before his
election to the presider.cy, was his proclaimed-de
sire to soften the asperities of party, and by stern
example to discourage "the hateful system of pros-
cription for opinion's sake." His practice upon
this promise has been a system of ruthless, revenge
ful, and indiscriminate removals of those who did
not vote fur him. The effect of this treachery to
plighted faith, it is easy to sae, will be the excuse
and justification for the most violent system of re

amid its forests, ind green fields, and besides its mur
mitring brooks, and laughing rills, in "days of old tang
syne," and we have often wondered since the headless
-11095 of boyhood has given place to thought and reflection,
why it is that so fi r r of our farmers in the country, and
our men of busin ss in town,( appreciate the beauties
and comfort of shade trees about their dwellings. To use
the language of a l coternporary, a cheap luxury is a gras
sy yard and green' shrubbery; right pleasant it is to sit by
one's window anti hear the rustling of loaves as the soft
wind plays among the branches of the trees 7 —to rest the
eve, weary of dusty streets and brick walls, bY gazing en
the grass and adniiring OM opening flowers. ' Why, in
this broad land where there is room enough and to spare,
do those who build dwelling houses so often place them
on Oro very edge of tho sidewalk, or Ica •o a scanty space
between, hardly wide enough for a spa rof grass or a
beautiful flower to grow and flourish? In our city w . e
are not yet so crowded but 'that every one can offerd the
space fur a little green, a few flowers, a few trees.!—And
they add too, so Much to the attractiveness of a home,

pleasant streets, a laded windows and cool rooms—who
would make our its healthful and agreeable, and create
a taste for Nature a works of beauty, plant shrubbery and
trees, and leave room around your dwellings for green
grass to spring 4 luxuriantly. -To the farmer we say,
whY cut down the noble maples and oaks in the neigh
borhood of the silo selected for your dwelling? They
breed no pestilence, they cost no money—why then ruth
lessly "cut those hld oaks down ." In all Erio county,
there is not a residence we admire half so much
as that of our friend, Judge BRAIVLEY, on tho - Buffalo
road; and all btause: it is near a beautiful grove of prim

the heat ever no intense, there is a cool shade and a soft
grassy couch inviting rest and repose. There, trio, the
robbin and tho blue-bird build their nests and rear their
young—there their musical notes aro heard with the first
blush of the dawn, or at mid-day heat, inviting the way

THE Nr,v, ORGAN

would much prefer being able to certify to (Ito re=
ability of this organ of the new Adininistratien if

Y that it is either good politically, or good looking

Now let us ask what-inconvenience would be likely to
he felt by the President, and the "seven wi l vg gen tleinon"
of the cabinet, by retaining the thousailds of city and
cotfiltry Post Masters that they have retnoved?,-of the
collectors of customs scattered all over this vast country ?
—of District Attorneys throughout the Union?—and the
hundreds ofothor officers and employees displaced by
this A¢ ministration? They n ere i einoved because they'l
could not be relied on as "confidential" in all the purposes
of the "seven wise men in buckram" who, under the ,
name of a cabinet, play the President v ithout any' of .
the responsibilities of that office. But this confession i s
important in another point of view. It repudietes the
infamous libel by implication that the want of capacity
and honesty has had anything to do with removals. No-
body believe s that this test has had any more influence
in making removals than that honesty unu cap.i_i 1...
boon constilted in making appointments. But here it - is
—the excuse for removals is the desire to procure "con
fidential" agents. No want of capacity—no dishonesty
is claimed! But why did not Gen. Taylor think of this
sooner—this necessity for "confidential" agents? Why
did hoi r not r 4tibmit this consideration to the people? Ifhe
,
had done so, what would have become of the democratic
accession? It would never have taken place, and Gen.
Taylor - would have been by this,timo an •mbsolete idea,"
and those who are now Editing and smiporting this "or
gan" would be ready to cry out with Daniel Webster,
"his. nomination was not fit to ho made." •Bnt rigain—
this "organ".of the party of the Union makes this apolo
gy fur the abandonment of pledges, and the "organ" of
the party in Erie county makes a very ditTeient one.
1
The latter alledges, in substance, that Gen. Taylor did
I
propose that no preference should be given to whigs over
Democrats In his regard, or in making appointments,
but that tho Democrats did not belieVe hint, and did not
act upon the proposition, but apposed hint, and therefore
he was relieved from his pledges. Both apologists admit
tho breach of faith—confess the fraud, btl labor to excuse
it. Their labors; arc vain—theie,is no xcuse for false
hood and bad faith—no apology can wipe out this dam
ning stain wont the character of one who, otherwise,
would be entitled to the respect of the people. No, Gen.
Taylor will have to find a more powerful defender than
this "organ" before those who were cajoled into his sup
port by his "no-party" pliklges vill forgive him. They
see now that the game was won. by a fake trick—that
when lio said ho woull accept a Democratic nomination
ns soon as any other, he was only fishing for Democratic
votes to enable him to reward those who wished the
Mexicans would "welcome" himi "with bloody hands to
a hospitable grave." -
BENEATU CONTESIPT.—An honorable cotemporary we
admire—a dishonorable ono is beneath contempt. In
the latter category we will certainly hnvo to class the
Gazelle if it does not mind its manners, and adhere n
little closer to the truth: Tho following is a specimen of
themarinor it choses to libel its cotoniporaries:
"Et.rcriort or JtMors - .—Mr. Buchanan's special or
gan' at l i .nncaster, the hitelligencer, of a. late (fate', con
tains arkartiele earnestly arguing against the law autho
rizing the election of judges hyttho people. A, charac
teriskcommentary this upon Democratic professions of
resped for the confidence iu "the people."
Some two or three yers ago, when Mr. llerrErt, the
present Editor of the intelligencer, bought that establish
ment, he took decided grounds inferrer of electing judges
by the people, and has continued to advocate tho memos()
ever since with an ability the Editor of the Gazette might
well envy. The Gazette's whole story is manufactured
from the fact that a communication appeared in the
Intelligences arguing against the measure, but which
communcation, let it be remembered. the Editor distinct
ly stated was admitted only because he deemed it no
more than just that, as he had adrocatcd a different policy,
those who differed with him should •be heard. , We
do not know whether the Intelligences is received at the
office• of the Gazette, but if it is, as wo suspect, then does
our neighbor stand in no enviable light.
..
The quotation from the . , /Ifentgomeiw Itratchntan,"
we presume is off the same piece—at any rate wo shall
believe so until the first falsehood is explained. If the ,
Editor of the Gazette will misrepresent in ono instance,
he will in another.
Er The Editor of the "Commercial, is very envious of
us, because our friends, when they get married, very
generally send to the office some of the "fixins."' Poor
fellow—we certainly did not think ho was so near star
ving as to envy our "boys" what wedding cake is sent
them, else out of charity we might have been induced
to have spoken to "old Zack" to overlook his want of
'•honesty and capacity." and give him the office of Col
lector, You should have spoken sooner, neighbor. Thero

"NOT WORTH A DOLLAR."
It will bovecollected that Daniel Webster proclaimed
on the floor of the Senate that California was not "worth
a dollar."—that he denounced the late lamented Presi
dent in terms that only a New England federalist knows
how to use, for its acquisition andthat he was cheered
on and applauded by the party from ono extremity of the
Union to the other. This is a matter of history, and it is
another matter of history that this same California. in
stead of not being "worth a dollar," is worth untold mil
lions. Its crystal streams run over beds of shining gold
—its mountain :4 are beeined with veins (of the precious
metals. and its vast plains glisten in an unclouded sun
with sands that would make a miser's eye light up with
joy. Ilad an European sovereign acquired such a pos
session historians and poets would have vied in their
eulogies. BLit thelwise and fur-seeing man to whose in- 1
domitablo energy and love of country the Union is indebt
ed for this acquisition', now sleeps in death in tho state
of his nativity, but this monument to his fame is left us
to be enjoyed by the t i nillions of his grateful countrymen,
and it will require neither poet nor historian_to render
his fame as lash ig as the hills and valleyS that:are now
sending their golden streams among us, to render the
falsehood and ingratitude of the whig party the more
&tithing. To .11311 i K. POLK and the Democratic party
does the country—aye. and the world—owe the posses
s:fon of this *mine of power by a people who will use it
only forthe %yellow of mankind. Had Louis Phillips
yiniiessed the golden s'ands of California, think you
France would now be free? Think you the shout of
Micky would bow be ringing from Paris to Vienna, and
along the 14nks of the Rhine! Think you the republi
cans of Hunlgary, Germ any and Rome would be defying
the Austrialo and the Cossack—that Born and Kossuth
would be leading their hosts to victory? No. the golden
hills of California' in the hands of Louis would have
quenched the lust spark of Republicanism in Continen
tal Europe! !lad England, as she had endeavored to
do, obtained possessionSiof this El Dorado of wealth.;can
anyi body supppoi.e that it would have been used for any
°llia purpose than to strengthen the power of monar
cliv and rivit the chains Abe people tighter! England.
with this acquisition, that uo were told was "nut worth a
dollnr," wont& be invincible. Her arm would be felt in
every contest—her power would be' acknowledged in
every court, and Europe would fie at her feet. But
thanks to the policy that party which has made this re
public what she is—the assy lum for the oppressed of every
nation—it•was ordained otherwise,- and the gold of thi
Sacramento, instead of becoming a curse, will be a bles
sing to inankind. And this was "not worth a dollar" in
the estiiitation of the God-like 'and his followers. 'Verily
is not Daniel Wobster-an "obsolete idea?" •

A Sum i
—Connecticut holds hack n the matter of con
stitutional reform under tho auspices of the present par
ty in power. Tho .(ast legislature adopted with great
unanimity. a propos'ed amendment to tho constitution,
providing for the sulsnission to the people in 1850, of the
question of a convention to revise tho constitution—and
for periodical suhtnit,siens of the same question, after
that, if not sooner proposed by the legislature. The
amendment came tiq for the -final two-third vote in tho
present legislature, and was rejected. So the question of
a convention is deferred, if it is over to bo re-agitated,
for two years longer.
EIJ We have received notice from the Post Master at
Columbus, that a number of our subscribers there wish the
“Obserrer" discontinued, as they wish to patronize their
own county paper. 'While we regret to part company
with our many friends in that flourishing village, we and
free to say they are correct. Let them first subscribe to
their own paper, tho "Ledger,"—it is a good one—and
then, if they can afford it, we would like to send them
the "Obsercer."
A Box.io ROGUE.—Sirno rogue entered the back-door
of tlio Drug Store of ;Lill. Burton; in the Reed House,
on Tuesday last, in broad-daylight, and abstracted from
