The Senate lias again amended the Bill and returned it to the House, but the House insisted upon its amendments, tfftd the Bill is now in the hands of a commit tee of conference. We hope a bill of some kind may speedily pass both Houses. “Counrsmt* .and M vuriaue.”— T.

The Know-Nothing nominations for President and Vico President of (ho United States, appear to meet with a cold response from all quarters. The old lino Whig papers, with scarcely nn ex ception, ridicule the nominations most unmor. citully; and more than one-half the Know-Noth ing papers appear reluctant in their support.— Our neighbor of the Carlisle Herald treats (ho tided with a kind of indifferent contempt, and refuses to hoist the names of (he nominees.— The .'hmriran —the Know-Nothing organ of (his county —hoists the ticket with a shrug of the shoulder*, and promises to repudiate it altoge ther if Mr. Fillmore refuses to place himself ■' right upon the Kiinsas-Nabrnska issue.*’ Of course Mr. Fillmore will never do this, and ne mav therefore number the American ns among the opponents of the nominees. The Harris, lung Telegraph, Gov. Pollock *n mouth-piece, refuses to support the ticket; and in the city of New York, (Mr. Fillmore’s home,) there are but two papers that are not opposed to him.— The New York Herald , a strong advocate of the Know-Nothing faction, denounces the ticket in severe but merited language, and says it cannot carry a county in the Union. The Know -Noth, ing papers of New Jersey, with but one excep tion, repudiate and denounce the nominations; and the same may lie said of (he papers of the same faction in Ohio and Hie New England States. Such is the position the “invincible Sam" occupies at this time, the commencement of a Presidential campaign. A fen- months ngo Know-Nothingism flourished, like a noxious weed, spreading desolation and corruption in nil portions of our country. AW there are but few who have the hardihood to defend the dog. mas of the detestable faction. The result Inis oecnhs wo predicted at the first dawning of (his God-delving party. Wu felt confident that Hie “ victories ot Sam" would he of short duration, and that Know-Nothingism would soon smother in its own corruption. It is utterly impossible for men holding different views in regard to State and National politics, to wm k hannoni oush together lur any length of lime; nor can the American people be hoodwinked foievei. “ The sober second thought *’ will remedy error*, no dillerence bow dvep-sealcd (hose errors mav appear.

A “wild hunt after office" kept them togelliei fo a short time, but a division of the honors and the spoils of office in tlio different States, vt them to quarreling, and they are now a disor ganized band of political adventurers. All then etlurts to bind (he members of thuir organize, torn to a blind adherence, have proved unavail ing—(heir oaths have been \ iolated, and tlnir pass woidsmocked at. In flue, Know-Nothing- I3ID is about us dead as is old Wlnggcry, but the death of the first is haded with joy by cver\ good man, and that of the latter regretted l.v many true patriots and statesmen. Thai the Democrats will elect the next I’resi dent, is a foregone conclusion. That we will carry nearly every Statu in the Union, is equal ly certain. With either J ames Buchanan.

Presidential Prospects, The North American of Philadelphia.a strong Whig print. which refuses to support the nomi nations of Fillmore and Donclson, thus speaks of the prospects of these candidates : ’flu- jour nals of Pennsylvania hitherto opposed to the Democratic party are greatly divided in soldi incut res| cctmg the Presidential ticket nomi nated by the recent National Know-.

There are tnauv other Whig and American papers which do the same, but we mention these because they represent dis tinct sections of the opposition, and indicate that the dissatisfaction is not, as Some assert, confined lo ami-slavery shifts. The opposition of such journals as (he Ris ton I buly Advertiser, Lancaster Examiner, and I \ ork Advocate, the jicculi.u organs of the anti- I ' Knon ..Nothing Wing party, shows that polm- I .Ml interest will be adverse to Mr. Fdlmoie.

Maine and New Hampshire were not rtpreseukd in the Convention winch nominated Mr. Fdlmorr.nnd the party there is strongly Republican The same i.s the case in all llie New England States, jus well as Michigan, Wisconsin and lowa In the general confusion before the meeting of the recent Convention, much attention had been liinctnl towards the opposition members of Congress, m the hope that some mnveimut might he set afoot by them likely to result in a genet al union against the nominees of the I>nn erratic National Convention.

The sixth and last lecture of the course for the benefit of the “Union Fire Company.” was delivered by Professor Johnston of Dickinson College, in the Court House, last Thursday eve ning. The lecturer’s reputation os a scholar drew together a large and intelligent audience. The house was crowded to its utmost capacity. Ilis lecture though too short, in consequence of recent indisposition, to enable him to do full justice either to his subject or to himsilf, has been highly spuken of. He charactmzed the Poem of Hiawatha as sublime in its subject and deserving of a high rank in Poetic Literature,—as surpassing the great body Qf modern Poetry ami rivalling that of Greece and Romo; though lie thought it violated some of the essential rules of poetrv, and feared that its rhymeless verse, and lepeti tion of epithets, phrases and lines, would enable the facetious to travesty it successfully and with ease. That the song of ••Hiawatha” will ever rank '■ with the Thad of Homer, or the .Tlneid of Vir gil, we very much doubt ; but, that it will he prevented from taking that place amongst modern poetry to which its intrinsic merits en title it, by the parodying of a few of Peter Pin -1 liar’s heroes who “have mistaken the madness of poetry for the inspiration of poetry,” we arc 1 still less inclined to believe. Their pet t id'u i sions arc already popularly known by tiie nig- • nilicant appellation of “bo>di.” As to us vio lating the ruhs of poetry: Though making no j pretensions to that art ourself, we are disposed to think that Longfellow in “Hiawatha” lias spoiled t he art of poetry only as Bonaparte spoiled the art of war, and as Macaulay spoiled the art of wilting English Prose—by improve ments upon both. Longfellow's “ Evangeline,” i was belter received than any American poem , had ever been before. But “Hiawatha” has al- 1 'ready distanced all nali\e competitors for pop. I ular fa\or. In it is to be found the noble mu- I sic of “sentiments which run through the soul | of universal humanity.” Having passed tin-; scathed through the searching ordeal of Eng- \ lish criticism—an oidial that has made sad! havoc of the product ions of many a man win*! , fondly thought himself a genius—it has severely , gained for its author the proud title of poet Lau- 1 ; fcale of Ins inline land. It is emphatically the \ American Poem Aineiican in character, m ■ sci-iury and m measure. In character.it has had wrought into its texture the peculiar le -1 gciuls of a peculiarly Amencan race: a race , ol whom we know not “whence they came,” ami hardly wjnthcr they are going. Us measure, w hetherorigmal or of Piulandic extraction,is pe , cnlinrly suited, by its sad and lender monalone, to the language of that race “that is rapidly I passing away.” It “chimes with our feelings,” I and ha.s truly “a tone and ring of its own.”— Potts we believe, group together us peculiar ities of style under the name of “parallelism.” For the purposes of the poem rhyme would have been 100 artful, and blank verse too stale ly.
