Parly Union.
Almost every Whig sheet n--w in circulation
in this State, is loaded down with the theme of
Der.i- '-a'ic dissensions. They ascribe to them
selves fct u'most fciiajour, they Vast that their
Convention vras the mo.it peacef-d that ever was
known to ascemb'e, that their nominations are
received by the people with acclamations of sac-isfac-ii.
in short that the Whig party clusters
around their candidates, forming one grand unit,
lu imposing contrast with the scattered fragments
of the Democratic organization.
How do they seek to belie the State with such
illusions ? On what are all their sage conclusious
founded ? In the history of State conventions,
w3 presume, there has never been one of a more
weak, f'fne, skirnmilkish character than the
late assemblage which has led forth like sheep to
the slaughter, Pollock, Sniyser and Daisie.
W;a. F. Johnston, the defunct, we are told,
was conducted to the chair cad was interrupted
in bis remarks with "rounds of applause." No
less than ten candidates for Governor were sub
mitted to the consideration of the convention.
Evidently the merest sham work imaginable ; no
one wanted the nomination, no one cared much
who got it, and this from every quarter of the
State, delegates proposed their man, and had him
advertised at least.
There was no trouble about contested scats,
there being no objects to attain, to which all
would not indifferently agree, hence all applicants
were admitted to seats.
Only three of the ten aspirants to the nomina
tion fcr Governor held on until the third ballot,
so -. e of ther? letting go on one chance ; and when
Mr. r Hork was selected, how unwillingly, none
knew so wt:i as his own heart, the bitterest iron-
y was offered him in a telegraphic dispatch from
Lairimer "say to my friends m-RRA for Pol
lock !" That was indeed electrical enthusiasm
bat thr patriotism of it is too sudden and ridic
ulous to inspire either candidate or voters.
So great was the apathy concerning the nomi
nees for Canal Commissioner, and Judge of the
Supreme Court, that the nominations for these
offices, respectively, were made by acclamation
after the first ballot, although thfre had been se
ven and eight names brought forward to be voted
for.
The resolutions which followed, were pretty
much the same, as the stuff of which they are
usually composed when made to suit the Whig
party. The darling policy of tariff and bank
was set out as boldly as the nature cf the case
would admit, and s-on afterwards this peaceful
conference of vnamlitictts men, melted and dis
solved itself into something else.
From all this tameness it is argued that great
unanimity prevails in the Whig ranks through
out the State, and we arc not much inclined to
doubt the conclusion, but it i3 that unanimity,
where 11 ?grce to anything or nothing, or to dis
agree ; a unanimity of often 'subdued and con
demned factionists, who in the pride of old Whig
pcry are ready to submit to another and another
OtLat, until like the slorv expiring fires of a mine
they die out by smothering. Such will, such
must be their fate when the next swell flood cf
Democratic strength, into which every apparent
ly dissenting branch will pour, shall u nsign
them to an irrecoverable fto.
due diltcrenceis that aspirants to noniinatici
in our party are in earnest, because success is
certain to those selected, and the high dignity of
an office holder whom the people, the Democra
cy endorse, is enviable indeed. Hence when
nominations arc made, so serious, is thought the
defeat of the disappointed, that in the prevalence
of human error, and in the ebullition of passion
they often give utterance to eccentric sentiments
or rather words, their sentiments remaining the
same iowards the party, and these words are at
once construed by cur opponents into the unmis
takable signs of schism. On the other hand where
no interests arc at stake, and no desire is stimu
lated, by the hope of triumph, we find our "Whig
candidates for nomination, like jolly Lammer,
who H-ela that he Las nuule, not lost, by his de
feat, "Lurrah for Pollock," and union of party,
or any thing else that chance turns up.
Gentle Whig, flatter not your soul with sup-j
posed differences and weakness here with us, and
unity and power with you. Remember that
yours Lj unfortunately, the peculiar subjection to
find, when there is aught to give. Witness the
scenes of last fall by which, you lost a Seaator,
witness your hundred of other defeats all from
the cause of dissevered ranks ; point if you can
to a single Democratic press in the State which
repudiate our nominations or to a single leading
member of our party, disloyal and then, but not
before, ask yourself what i3 to change the tide
against your tars, or what to break it as against
you.
The Duel.
Washington city has been the scene cf much
excitement for some days passed in consequence
of the difficulty between two memL-z-rs of Con
gress, Mr. Cutting of New York and Mr. Breck
enridge of Kentucky, which it was supposed
would terminate in a dtte-I. In all probability
the matter will be arranged, as it is said that
Mr. Boyd 2nd Mr. Benton, both old and experi
enced men in the National Legislature, and men
cf mflatnce, have been assiduously engaged at
bringing aboitt a reconciliation.
It seems that th? moral sense of our people is
stiU to be shocked, in these days of common rea
son by occasional murders committed under the
cover cf this code of honor. The dolorous fate
of Hamilton and Cilly can never be forgotten
t hi!e the annals of our history are read and re
membered, nor will the nation cease to mourn
the one and pity the other. The feeling3 shrink
with horror from the cold blooded practice of
duelling ; public opinion, calm, and unexcited,
is strongly against it, statutes are enacted for its
suppression, and yet year after year, scenes recur
which appall humanity and scandalize the na
ture of man.
How little do they in high places fulfil the mea
sure cf duty, who are so much the bondmen of
passion, as not to be able to govern themselves in
peaceful propriety before the nation they repre
sent ; of what avail are laws and the dignity of
place and cf honor, when those who frame those
laws are the first to trample them underfoot ;
when these whose example in public should blaze
as a beacon, drawing all eyes to behold, and all
feet to Listen towards their lofty elevation, de
scend to the vulgar one of pugilists, and reenact
the sanguinary feats of a long-past and darksome
and heathenish day of the wcrld. Really we are
becoming a game nation. While Soule and his
chivalric son are avenging wounded honor in the
foreign climes of Spain, domestic fights abound
between men. who, if they have net the religion
to act like brothers, should at least have the po
liteness to act like gentlemen, and not be found
making single handed war, under the nod of the
supreme law power of the nation, against each
other. What infinitesimal sum the world, the
north, the south, or the individuals engaged,
would win by exchanging shots, in which one cr
both or neither should be killed or wounded,
would be hard to estimate, either in valor or re
nown. Tte Comet.
Out western evening sky is now marked with
the presence of a comet, whose long stream of ha
zy light, is the curious appendage by which these
mysterious wanderers of the sky are distinguish
ed. We cannot behold this singular phenomenon
of the solar system, without recurring in thought
to the darkness, the ignorance and superstition
of the day when it was regarded as a supernatu
ral object, portendmg direful events, and threat
ening the destruction of earth and her inhabi
tants ; and admiration of the highest form is ex
cited witldn us, at the contemplation of that
light and knowledge, that science, which has
transmitted terror into wondering pleasure, as we t
lock up and calendar those bearded stars of the
night.
Fatal Accident.
On Wednesday evening, Mr. Philip Rily, Dep
uty Post Master at Hemlock, in this county,
came to his death in a most distressing manner
he was standing on the Platform at Lilly's Sta
tion, and in reaching for the mail which the Agent
was endeavoring to hand to him out of the Mail
Car, the train going at a rapid rate, ho lost his
balance, and fell under the train; six cars passed
over his body, mutilating it in a shocking man
ner of course he was killed instantly.
The deceased was a young man, a native cf
Ireland, and very respectably connected in this
county he bore a very good character as an
honest and industrious citizen.
C'We call attention to the proceedings of the
Military meeting at Jefferson, on the 25th ult.,

Military Meeting.
Pursuant to notice, the Officers of Companies
composing the Cambria Volunteer Brigade, met
on Saturday, March 25th, at the House of James
D. Hamilton, in Jefferson.
On motion, Capt. Henry Schnetberg was se
lected as Chairman, and Lieut. W. C. Barbour,
its Secretary.
The meeting then went into a discussion of the
Military Law of 18-19, together with the supple
ment of 1853 ; it being the sense of the meeting,
that many portions of the law were defective,
and embarrassing, many amendments were sug
gested by different officers.
On motion, it was Resolved that the Chair ap
point a committee of three, officers of the Ccnt
bria Brigade, to draft a memorial to the Legis
lature, pointing out those sections of the law,
which in the opinion of this meeting, called for
am endment.
It was moved, and agreed to, that the memo

Cambria Brigade
The Chair then appointed Gen. Jos. McUa&J
aid, Lt. Col Heyer, and Capt. R. White, com
mittee of memorial.
The meeting then recommended that the an

talion Officers, be held on the third Monday ef
May, at the Mansion House, at Summitville; and
that three Delegates be selected by each compa

The President's ETessage.
To the House of Representatives :
In compliance with the resolution of the House
cf Representatives of the 10th inst.
I herewith transmit a report of the Secretary
of State, containing all the information received
at the department ia relation to the seizure of the
Black Warrior at Havana, on the 28th ultimo.
There have been in the course of a few years past
many other instances of . aggression upon our
commerce, violations of the rights of American
citizens, and insults to the national flag, by the
Spanish authorities in Cuba: and all attempts to
obtain redress have led to protracted, and as yet
fruitless negotiations.
The docuirsnts in these cases are voluminous,
and when prepared will be sent to Congress.
Those now transmitted relate excusively to the
the seisure of the Black Warrior, and presents a
clear case, that it would be reasonable to expect
full indemnity therefor, as soon as this unjustifi
able and offensive conduct shall be made known
to her Catholic Majesty's government ; but sim
ilar expectations in other cases have not been re
alized. The offending party is at our doors, with
large powers for aggression, bat none, it is !
leged, fur reparation. The source of redress is
another hemisphere, and the answers to our Just
complaints made to the home government, are
but the repetition of excuse rendered by inferior
officials to their superiors in reply to represen
tations of their misconduct. The peculiar siUia
tjon o tnc parties has, undoubtedly, much ag
gravated the annoyances and injuries which our
citizens have suffered from the Cuban author!
ties, and Spain does not seem to appreciate to
its full extent, her responcibility for the conduct
of these authorities. In giving very extraordi
nary power to them, she owes it to justice and to
her friendly relations with this government, to
guard with great vigilance against the exorbi
tant exercise of the powers, and in case of injuries
to provide for prompt redress.
I have already ttken measures to present to
the governmont of Spain the wanton injury of
the Cubian authorities in the detention and sei
zure of the Black Warrior, and demand immedi
ate indemnity for the injury which has thereby
resulted to our citizens.
In view of the position of the Island of Cuba,
its proximity to our coast, the relations which it
must ever bear to our commercial and other in
terests, it is vain to expect that a scries of un
friendly acts, infiingingour commercial rights,
and the adoption of a policy threatening thekon
or and security of these States, can long exist
with peaceful relations.
In case the measure taken for amicable adjust
ment of our difficulties with Spain should unfor
tunatly fail, I shall not hesitate to use the author
ity and means which congress may grant to in
sure the observance of our just rights, to obtain
redress for injuries received, and to vindicatethe
honor of our Sag.
In anticipation to that contingency, which I
earnestly hope may not arise, I suggest to Con
gress the propriety of adopting such provisional
measures as the exigency may teem to de
mand. FRANKLIN PIERCE.

A Singular Incident in a Murder Trial
In JNew York, on the 20th ult., James Pat-
ton was put upon his tnal for the murder of
Col. Walter Turnbull, on the 3d of December
last. Several witnesses clearly lastened the deed
upon the prisoner, and the prosecution occupied
but a short time. The counsel for the defence
then put forth the plea of insanity for his client,
but was interrupted by Tatton who solemnly
....... . .. J
ticciarea mat ne was m the full possession of
his reason, and that if he was mad at the time of
tne occurrence there was " method in his mad
ness." lie protested against any such plea being
used in his behalf. He stated that he had recei
ved ample provocation for the deed he had com
mitted, and if a jury of his countrymen could
pronounce him guilty of murder, he was willing
to atone for the act with Lis life. He declared
that his counsel were in the possession of the
circumstances which brought about the affair, and
that he had instructed them to ground his de
fence thereon, and he accused them of having
betrayed him for the purpose of ruinin" his
cause, lie concluded by informing the court
that he did not wish his compel to act further
in the matter, and the case was submitted to the
jury, who returned a verdict of "Guilty, without
capital punishment."

Virginia Washington Eionument.
It is with sincere pleasure that we announce
that the beautiful and solid granite strncture of
the Virginia Washington Monument, in the Cap
itol Square, is now completed. It rises to the
height of forty ftet, and on its top is to be erect
ed a splendid bronze equestrian statute of Wash
ington twenty feet high, which will make the
whole height of the monument sixty feet from
the ground. Yesterday we enjoyed a splendid
view from the top of the monument, after ascend
ing an elegant and substantial spiral cast iron
stair-case leading up through the interior from
the massive and solid granite door on the South.
The monument is now ready for the reception of
the statues, of which two, Patrick Henry and
Thomas JcfTerson, each thirteen feet high, have
been cast in bronze at Munich, under the direc
tion of Mr. Crawford ; and a third, a magnificent
equestrian group of Washington 20 fed high is
now in the act of being modelled at Rome by the
same sculptor artist. We have strong hopes that
this last named statue will be completed during
the present year, so that the monument may
be
solemnly inaugurated on the 22d February, 1855,
just five years frcm the laying of the corner
stone. Familiar as we are with the progress of the
Monument, we take great pleasure in testifying
to the skill, energy and untiring industry which
Mr. E. W. Herbert, the superintendent, has
shown in completing the granite masonry. He
has located himself in Richmond to prosecute his
important labors, and this monument is a most
honorable and valuable evidence of his merits
and success. We should add that a broad flag
ging around the base of the monument is still to
be laid in concrete but that will be done in a
few months. Rickmor.d Eiiqnirer, 28?A.

A ViliSax. The Huntsville Item of the 11th
inst., gives the following account of the recent
debut and exit of one of the kind of scoundrels
that "we read about:"
A man named John M. Dowling, ccme here a
few weeks ago to work as a tailcr with B. M.
Clopton, of our town. II ie a native of Brook
lyn. Nihh Vm-k, and went to MurfreesDOTuogii,
Tennessee, some years ago, where he married a
young lady of wealthy connections, named M;ss
Mary Smith. The lady acquired some property
from her relations, in the way of negroes, and, as
they coucluded to come to Texas, their slaves
were sold, and Dowling retained the money.
They have had one child, since dead, and the wife
is now encientc.
A few weeks ago Dowling gathered all the
money and other valuables of his wife, and "slo
ped," leaving her perfectly destitute. He went
to New Orleans, and it is thought will go back
to New York. He is about five feet nine inchee
high, sallow complexion, and the point of his
proboscis looks towards the heavens, as if it
scorned connection with his mouth. How the
lady came to marry him is a mystery to us, for
she is very handsome but there is no account
ing for tastes. What effects he had left here
were sold a few days ago, and a fund was raised
by Messrs. Bin ford and Clopton, enough to send
her back to her friends. She left in the stage on
Wednesday, a broken-hearted, deserted, plunder
ed woman.
We trust some of our New York cotemporaries
will notice this matter. We know they will not
tolerate such a crime.
The Cent and the Eagle.
Simon Holdfast was not a liberal minded man.
There was no danger of him ruining himself by
extensive charities. Still, whenever there was a
collection taken up at church, or at a pub
lic meeting, he always took care to give some
thing. "It looked well to give something," he said,
"and there was no need of letting the public
know how much you gave. He hated ostenta
tion, for his part."
He always put a cent in his pocket on such oc
casions. People might think from the rattling
that it was gold, or at least silver. Mr. Holdfast
was about to attend an evening meeting for a
charitable purpose. He accordingly deposited in
his vest pocket, as he supposed, the usual liberal
sum.
This he deposited in the box with an air of con
scious liberality lighting up his face.
When he reached home, he had occasion to o
pen his pocket book, when to his consternation
he discovered a cent carefully laid away in a re
cess. The eagle was no where to be found.
"Good Heavens !" exclaimed Simon, "I've
gone and given away ten dollars to that cursed
chanty an amount which, properly laid out,
would have served for a thousand occasions of the
same kind."
Simon sat down quite overcome, but it couldn't
be helped. As an offset to this extravagance he
has decided to reduce the wages of his servant
girl till the amount is made up.
