The Ohio Patriot at New. Lisbon, and the Holmes County Farmer at Millersburgh, have expressed their preference forjaten. Sam Hous ton, of Texas. . The Newark Advocate has the name of the Hon. James Buohanah, at its mast head, as a candidate for tho Presidency. The Mansfield Shield and Banner carries the name of Gen. Wit. 0. Butleb at the head of its columns as its favorite for the Presidency. The Guernsey Jeffereomanexid one or two other papers in Ohio are out for the nomination of > Senator Douglass. We have not heard of any paper m Ohio being favorable to the nomination of Gen. Cass. - From all the information we have received, we presume the vote of Ohio will be cast on the first ballot, in the National Convention, for Ex- Senator Allen, of that state. On the second ballot (if there Bhould be a second ballot) we believe- Mr. Buchanan's chanoes of receiving the vote of Ohio will be at least equal to those of any other candidate. From present indica tions, however, we are of the opinion that Mr. Buchanan will be nominated on the first ballot as the Democratic candidate for the Presidency. Mr. Th&as&bb, who has been so honora bly mentioned in .connection with the unfortunate Cuba expeditionists; who proved himself & man, while the officers of our government presented a good title to a lower character ; and who was* at the last accounts, in a dungeon at Havana, says, in a letter dated on the 21st of November, “I solemnly affirm that 1 have never had aoy connection with the parties who invaded this Island,, and that the only ground for hatred to xhe, on the part of the government and Spanish portion of the population here, ore: that I am an American; that 1 refused to abjure my na tionality one year since, when required by this government to do so, or to abandon the business I was then engaged m: that I succored, so far as 1 was able, those of my unfortunate country men who were captives here : and that, in the court, I had the independent spirit (they call it audacity) to rely upon my innocence and my rights as an American citizen.

CASH FRESKNTATIOW, We learn from the Lancaster Intelligencer that on Saturday afternoon Hickory Cane, -■forwarded by the Democrats 6f Lucas county, toi tH^Hoii>- v >ranies Buchanan, was pre sented to ,by the’-.bearer, Dr. Charles'-Leib; in the presence of &-number of his friends-.Dfc- . Leib ..read the proceedings of a meeting of the friends of Mr. Buoh&n&n held at Chariton. Lucas oounty, lowa, on the 20th of October last, whioh proceedings declared that Pennsylvania s favorite son” . was their first choice for the Presidency. After the reading of the proceedings Dr. Leib, in a neat and and elo quent address presented Mr. Buchanan with a Hickory cane, the growth of lowa. Upon re ceiving the cane, accompanied with the proceed ings, Mr. Buchanan responded as follows: 3m :—I accept, with profound gratitude, the “ hiokory cane* which my distant Democratic friends of Lucas county, in the State of lowa, have, through you, presented to me as a token of their regard. The character of the donors greatly enhances the value of the gift. A crown of olives was was the distinction conferred by the free people of Greece upon the viotors in the Olympic games: and this they prised far more .highly than a crown sparkling with pre cious stones if bestowed by a Despot. This plain but beautiful “ hickory cone* coming as it does from the hands of the pioneer farmers of lowa, who plough their own soil, shall ever be preoious mmy eyes. The penalty imposed on the first parents of our race, that by the sweat of their face they should eat bread, has been converted by a kind Providence into a signal blessing. The cultivation of the soil, imparts vigor to the body and independence to the mind. The man who handles the plough, pos sesses both strength and courage to handle the sworcLw defence of lus country. Such has ever been the character of the pioneers who havo subdued the wilderness and extended the domain of civilization towards the for West. With you, I heartily rejoice in the belief that the compromise measures of the late Congress have finally settled the dangerous questions among the States of our Confederacy arising out of the institution of domestic Slavery. We must expect, however, after the violent storm which has prevailed, that some time will yet elapse before the surges of pubho opinion shall entirely subside; but ere long all will bo peace, provided the people of the non-slave holding States shall faithfully execute the Fugitive Slave Law and cease to interfere with the domestic institutions exclusively pertaining to their Sister States. Meanwhile, the American peoplo, re lieved from the apprehension of danger to the Union, will continue to execute their grand mis sion of extending the empire of liberty, of law and of Christianity over our vast unoccupied ter ritory. The people of Loess County will not long be on thbfrontier. One wave of population will pass beyond them after another, until the whole region between them and the Rocky moun tains shall be covered by a moral, industrious and enterprising race of freemen. There ore individuals in this company who may live to Bee the day when we shall number one hundred mil lions of souls within our territory, and consti tute a more powerful nation than the Roman Empire ever wasm the meridian of its glory. Mr Buchanan then paid a well doserved com pliment to Dr. Leib for the highly satisfactory manner in which he had performed the duty con fided to him. The Cane is a straight biokory stick, well var nished, With eight knots, or one for each letter in Mr. B s name. It bos a beautifulivury head, on which >s engraved Ins uanie. Jte . and the mounting Is of silver. There is a ueat leather tussel appended to it. and the entire present is alike creditable to the donors aud donee, and we know tbnt it t* highly prtxcd by Mr Hi - The Baaklag Law of Illinois. There is still a hope that the people of Illinois will get clear of this evil. We team from the Cmcuma{i Enquirer, that the vote on the law hius not decided thin question The opponents of the measures have contended from the tirst that the bill was carried through the Legislature in con travention of the constitution. The vote on it was one third less than the strength of tbedtalo. The State Auditor, doubting the legality of the thing, in order to hove it properly decided. go ing to decline issuing bank notes on the pledge of stock: upon which tljc liankocracy will apply for a mandamus, to compel him to issue them pursuaut to the law. Du (he return of the wnt, the question will lie presented and decided by the court, whether the constitutional prevision has been compiled with, requiring this taw to b 4 submitted to the people at a general election : in other words whether the recent election was a general election Hbould the court decide that it was not. the hank law will be a nullity. rur iho Morning Pox Messes. Haei*ku k Puillii’s —l observe in your paper, the recommendations of David Campboll, Esq., to the Democratic Convention, for tbo Mayoralty. Although, no doubt highly deserv ing, yet the Democracy should recollect that -Mayor Guthries claims are an high and as deserving. Besides the important fact, that m the last election that he has carried with him the largo portion of the sensible Whig vote, when Barker ism, Nativeism, and Rowdyism threatened again to infest our city, it should bo remombered that his administration has been strictly honest, just, and impartial; that under it there h&« been much less disorder and crime than in the former year, and that in the opinion of both parties, lie has made a most excellent chief magistrate. It should also be rcoollooted, that Barker and his party will be again m the field : and that they are using all earthly means, to poll alarger vote than lost season. That he will poll as large a one there is no doubt Therefore, for the safety of our city, and its preservation from misrule, I think it highly important that the Democracy should select their strongest candi date, and who so strong as the man who has led them onoe to victory, and since that has proved himself a firm, popular, and efficient magistrate.

It appears that at the close of the fioal year —the 80th of June last—six thousand one hun dred and seventy moil routes were id operation In the United States, forming an aggregate length of 136,290 miles, and* involving an annu al coßt' for the transportation of mails ot $3,- 421,764. The total annual transportation amounts to 58,272,262 miles, of which 8,568,- 707 miles are performed upon railroads, at au average cost of about eleven cents five mills per mile; 5,464,982 miles m steamboats, at a cost of about eight cents three mills per mile; 19,- 726,588 miles in coaches, at about five cents three mills per milo : and 19,521,975 miles in modes not specified, at about four cents eight mills per mile. As compared with the previous year, this statement exhibits an increase of 13,- 854 miles in the length of inland • mail routes, and of $547,110 in the annual cost of trans portation : hat this comparison is irrespective of the routesm California and Oregon. In tho formor State the annual transportation amounts to 587,476 miles, and tho annual cost to >130,- '270: in the latter to 66,960 miles, at an annual oost of $40,441. There are six foreign mails routes—three of which ore under oontract with tho Post Office Department at n cost of about $2-09 9*lo per milo : and three under oontract with tho Navy Department at a cost ot about $2.42 6*lo per milo. During the year 0,889 postmasters were ap pointed, nearly half of them to fill vacancies occasioned by resignations : 187 to fill vacancies occasioned by deith: 206 in consequence of ohange of site : 599 on the removal of prior in cumbents: and 1,698 on tho establishment of new offices. Tec entire number of post offices in operation is 19.796: nearly 1,700 were es tablished and 256 were discontinued during the year. The gross receipts of the Department for the year described in this report were $6,780,498,- 22 : of which $5,369,242 70 were derived from letter (including foreign) postage and stamps sold, and $1,035,130 89 from postage on news papers, pamphlets, Ac. To form a true idea of tho revenue, however, allowance must be made for the sum payable to the British post office, and for the sum of additional appropriations.— With these deductions, the ordinary revenues of the year stand at $6,551,977 89: being nn in crease of $999,006 41 over the proper revenues of tho preceding year. The expenditures during the same period were $6,478,401 68 : but this iucludcs u pay ment to Britain and a payment under an award. The ordinary expenditure was $6,024,- 666 70, showing abalanco of receipts of >703.- 299 99. The Report glances at the position of (ho post office in this country half a ceoturv since, and intimates the probable presentation to ( engross of the materials of on interesting history of our postal system. In 1791) the uumber of post offices was 76. the extent of post route* 1,87;/ miles, and the revenue >27.935 Within tho last two years the cost of trans portation has beeu much increased : 4 iind the ever-moroauing moil facilities, by railway and ou our nvers. will continue to add Largely to the expenses of the Department. Under the terms of the act of March last, the expenditure for the transportation of mails must be increased from ten to fifteen per cent per year, if tho want* of tho country require it: and, unless some change be made by Congress in tho rule laid dowu for the government of the Department, other ox ponses will necessarily increase at nearly iln» same rate In reg&nl to coimni.'siuns pnid t«» postmasters, the Postmaster General expresses u belief that tho allowance provided for under the order made on the 29ih of October will be found incommen surate with the increase of labor required under tho new law. The total estimated expenditures for tho cur rent rear amounts to >7.12./.4 48 u,;. which ore to be met by the balance* now Rtandiiifr to the credit of the Department, the receipts irom post ages, and the appropriations made bv the acts of March. 1847. and March. 1861. The succeeding year will necessitate further aid from the Treas ury At present, no reliable estimate of ibr re venues of the current year ran t*> made iu con sequence of the non-tfcillemcnt of the postmas ters accounts for the first two quarters An idea of the amount of free mutter sent from and received tilth* Washington ullu-o. may he formed from the fact that, for the iwn years ending m July last, this branch of business Uou;d have yielded <*M.i4o.f'26 at (be rules then in force, or $1,795.1)20 at tho present reduced rated. This does not include the free circulation of newspapers, and so forth It is thought that the reduced rates of pontage on printed matter, and the extension of privilege* to publisher*. will diminish that branch of revenue at least >500.- 000 per annum. The results of the experiment now in operation satisfy the Postmaster General that there should be rooro than two. or al most three, different rates of inland postage on Qew* papers sent to actual subscribers : and that thor>e on periodicals and other printed matter, inciud lug transient newspapers, should bo reduced m number, and more ocariy assimilated to the or dinary newspaper rates. Thischange. he thinks, can be adopted without materially diminishing tho revenue. The Postmaster General disapproves of the disposition manifested tu some quarters to urge a farther reduction in our inland rates of letter postage, before tho results of tho last reduction arc properly ascertained. Ho points out the dissimilarity in the circumstances o! tins coun try and Great Britain, and maintains that the results of the system now in operation in Britain admonish us not to attempt a further reduction until justified by our revenues. Looking at our entire circumstances, the sparse population of immense sections, and the extent and expense of the area traversed by our mm! routes, he con cludes that we havo. beyond all question, the cheapest postage in the world. Tho new contracts lor tho supply of innu merable articles required for uno in tho Depart ment are described as more favorable than for mer ones : and on intimation is made that an im provement in the adhesive qualities of postage stomps will hereafter bo observable An opinion is expressed—founded upon infor mation obtained by agents of tho Department— that, if tho contractors bo favorably disposed, tho mail between this city and New Orleans con be expedited twenty-four boors: that tho time required between this city and New York can bo reduoed to eleven hours; and that the mails from tho South, leaving hero in the aftornoou, may be debvered in Now York in time to bo for warded to Boston, Albany and West, along the Eno railroad, by tho mormng trains from Now York. An effort will also bo made to preservo at Now York a close connexion of the trams car rying the matlß, which leave hore in the morning with the evening trams which take suoh moils beyond Now* York. If tho negotiations now in progress to effect those arrangements fail, tho attention of Congress will bo called to other fea sible modes of expediting the groat mails between the eastern and the southern States. An appropriation is recommended to moot the deficiency of salary allowable to the special agents of the Department, and alßo to pay tho salaries of supernumeraries who have been employed in the Dead Letter Office. More than 4,000 pounds of dead letters were received from California during tho last summer. Congress is asked to legalize contraots that have been entered into for mail servioo in Cali fornia and Oregon: and mention is made of other contracts which have been formed with the Pa oilic Steamship Company, and with the mail •steamers from Now York to Havana. The Presi dent of the Panama Railroad Company had giv en notice that, on the first instant, the company would be ready to transport tho mail across the Isthmus, and the Postmaster General has agreed to avail himself of the arr&ngoment—leaving Congress to authorize the payment tfiorofor. The oontract with the Collins hue of mail steamers, between New York and Liverpool, re quires the performance of but twenty trips out and back during the year. As the English gov ernment-had made new arrangements by whioh the weekly trips of the Cunard steamers were to be continued throughout the year, it was deem ed highly Important to continue the weekly trips of the American steamers also. Under these circumstances, Mr. Collins was Requested by the Post Office Department to continue his trips, with an assurance of a recommendation of ade quate compensation. If, therefore, tho extra trips'are confirmed, it is earnestly reoommended that a prorata compensation, with such addition, of any, os may be necessary to give the contrac tors a fair and liberal compensation for the ex tra servioe, be authorized by Congress. The Postmaster General remorks that “ the unrival led qualities ipad speed of the ships of this lino, and the veiy satisfactory manner in which- the service has been performed, establishing the su periority of American skill and enterprise in the construction of ocean steamers, and in ocean •steam navigation, entitle the*proprietors of this line to the most favorable consideration, and l cannot doubt that Congress will make the .ap-, propriations rewnmeiided*” 1 1 n 1 ■? f**st*> •#, * *4 It is hinted that satistactory propositions can probably be obtained for aline of mail steamers from NowjOrleans* by Vray of Tampico, to Vera Cruz; and the importance of suoh an arrange ment is described,* m its commercial and politi cal aspects/ ? ;; Offers have been made to contract lor moil .service from New&ork to Antwerp, from New •York to Genoa,, from New York to San Francisco by the Nicaragua route, from No>y York to \enezuelo, from Philadelphia to Havana, from Philadelphia to Antwerp, and from New Tork to New Orleans by steamers, in connexion with a contemplated railroad across Florida. These applications ore to be laid before Congress.— Particular stress is laid upon the proposition for aline of steamers from New \ork to Galway: and a hope is entertained that the subjeot of the establishment of a line to Antwerp will be found to deserve consideration, more especially os the Belgian government is ready to co-operate in the project. The renewed determination of Britain to m- Bist upon an excessive transit rate on letters passing through England is alluded to as a sub ject of regret. The liberal spirit manifested by the United States in 1848 has not been recipro cated ; and as our convention with Great Britain can be annulled by either of the two governments after one year’s notice to the other, it is sug gested that if satisfactory transit rates be not soon agreed to, this Government should serious ly consider whether the notice provided for in the treaty shall not be given. Attention is called to the extent to which the revenues of the Department are prejudiced by the operations of express companies : and the revision of tho laws apolicable to the subject is proposed, with the vtow of making it highly ponal for persons or companies to carry tetters on certain specified routes outside of the mails. Other penal enactments are sought to protect the property and operations of the Department. Tho increasing abuses of the franking privi lege arc noticed as another matter requiring leg islative action. Severe penalties are suggested to prevent the franking as public documents things which arc not such, the distribution of franked envelopes to persons not entitled to the franking privilege, and various similar practices. Authority is requested to increase the compen sation of special agents of tho Department in California and Oregon, and to facilitate tho busi ness of the Department in those States. The concluding paragraphs of the Report re late to. the necessity of looreascd post office ac commodations for this city, to a revision of tho laws for tho government of the Department, the need of placing the Assistant Postmasters Gene ral upon the same footing in respect to salary as the heads of Bureaus in other Departments, and to the zeal and assiduity with which tho officers and clerks of tho Department have discharged their daties.

Inthislettor Mr Clay expresses his well known interest iu the Colonization movement, although ho prefers Af rica to the West Indies. Speaking of the condi tion of the blacks in tho Umtod States. Mr- Clay says: *•1 havo no doubt that it would conduoo to the happiness of bqth races, if the blaokß were re • moved from the United States by colonization • but that otyeot Is unattainable with regard to the slave portion of that population, whilo tboir bondago continues to exist m tho Umton States How long that toll be, can only be matter of ooqjooturo. My own opinion, long and deliber ately ontortainoU, is that, as they are hold iu slavery for tho purpose of a necessary supply of labor, slavery will cease whenever, by the in crease of the white population, free white labor can bo prooured Cheaper than that of the blacks ” Pompeii. —A recant letter from an Americau gentleman ui Naples, says : Vesuvius is calmly smoking, and seems dis posed to reßt from the fatigues of his devastating labots of last year. Pompeii is slowly appearing above ground About 20 la borers are kept at work, who managed to get off a cartload of eart(i a day from the superincum bent oity. Not one half of the ontire city is yot excavated. Tho mound whioh covers it is an oxocodiDglyjheautiful and rich vineyard, with houses of peasants scattered over its sur face. A portion tof tho sea wall has reoently been unearthed, {which goes to confirm the opinion that the i sea, now -nearly one mile distant, once laved-tho walls of Pompeii.” Shopping— MonpST Clbbil —A beautiful girl was out a shopping a few days since, and entered a store where she found a fresh-looking, rosy oheeked young clerk, and stepping up to where he was located, asked if he had any nice silk hose. “ Certainly, miss,” replied he, and forthwith tho oounter was strewed with the delicate arti cles. . “ How high do they come V* asked thesyoung miss m a very low tone of voice. The modest cierk looked at his customer, blushed, turned all sorts of colors, but did Dpt answer the question; She gave him a surprised look and repeated itj-~ “ How high do thpy come ?” 4 Again the clerk blushed at such an immodest question; but managed to stammer out— “ Really miss—thqfcia to say—X dont know— I think, bat lam not;positivo—my impression is tbat they come just ribove the knee l” ** v 4 r « * * ♦ *t V r j " lv> Hymn of TkalilugtYittg.l T-,f ihqiuk thee, Father.

Even throogbme. Tlie Right* of Women* There is much clamor, in these days of pro gress, respecting a grant of new rights, or an extension of privileges to our sex. A powerful moralist has said, that “in contentions for pow er, both tbo philosophy and poetry of life are dropped and trodden down.” Would not a still greater loss accrue to domestic happiness, and to the interests of well-balanced society, should the innate delicacy and prerogative of woman, as woman , be forfeited or sacrificed! • I have given her as a helpmate,” said the Voice that cannot err, when it spake onto Adam, in the cool of the day, amid the trees of Par adise. Not as a toy, a clog, a wrestler, a prize fighter. No! a helpmeet, euoh aa was fit ting for man to desire, and for a woman to be come. Since the Creator has assigned different spheres of action for different sexes, it is to be presumed, from this unerring wisdom, that there is work enough in each department to employ them, and that the faithful performance of that work will be for the benefit of both. If he has made one the priestess of the inner temple, com mitting to her charge its sacred shrine, its on revealed sanctities, why should she seek to min* glo in the warfare that may thunder at its gates or rook its turrets? Need she be tempted by pride or curiosity, or glowing words, to 'barter her own Eden ? The true nobility of woman is to keep her own sphere,' and to adorn it, not like the comet, daunting and perplexing other systems, but as the pure Btar, which is first to light the day, :and last to leave it. If she share not the fame of the ruler and the blood-shedder, her good works, such as “becomes those who profess god illness,” though they leave no deep “ footprints on the sands of time," may find record in the Lamb's Book of Life.” Mothers f are not our rights sufficiently exten •sive—the sanctuary of home, the throne of the heart, the “moulding of the whole mass of mind in its formation ?” Have we not power enough in all the relm of sorrow and suffering—oyer all forms of ignorance and want —amid all minis trations of love, from the cradle to the sepul chre ? So let os be content and dilligent; aye, grate ful and joyful, making this brief life a hymn of praise, until called to that choir which knows no discord, and whoso melody ia eternal.— Mrs, Sujvt>mry. * Australian gold diggers are required, Under colonial regulations, to pay £1 10s a month, in advance, liconso to dig, search for, or remove gold from the crown lands.
