EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON CITY: MONDAY ....2....00000eereeeee Jane 2, 1856. U7 Advertisements should be handed in by erwise they may not appear 12 o’clock, m., oth until the next day. Eee The expected letter from the editor, who is now at Cincinnati, had not been re ceived at the hour of going to press. oro SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS. The Intelligencer is devoted mainly to news. It says of the business before Congress : “This is the commencement of the twenty- seventh week of the session, and there are ny important subjects for consideration. ¥n the Senate the bill providing the prelimi- nary measures for the admission of Kansas as a State, the Naval Reform bill, and the Pres- idential Vetoes are prominent. Upon the disposition of the latter depends the fate of various river and harbor bills now on the cal- endar. In the House, amongst the unfinished business may be named the bill for the ad- mission of Kansas, three contested election cases, several of the annual a: bills, and a heavy private ce: ing the cases reported frem There is no reasonable expectation of the ses- sion being closed before the middle of Au- gust.” The Union in an article upon the Demo- eratic National Convention gives a brief re- view of the convention of 1852: “The delegates assembled in the hall of the Maryland Institute, in the city of Baltimore, ursuant to a call of the Democratic National Committee, Hon. B. F. Hallett, chairman, W. F. Ritchie and R. H. Stanton, secretaries. Mr. Hallett called the convention to o 5 and, on motion of Mr. Bright, of Indiana, General Romulus M. Saunders, of North Car- olina, was choren president pro tem Theses- sion was then opened with prayer by Rev. J. Campbell White, of Baltimore, and the fore- Boon was occupied with preliminary efforts at organization In the afternoon the committee reported the name of Hon. John W. Davis, of Indiana, for permanent president, with a list of vice presidents ; which report was adopted, and Mr Davis took the chair, with a few per tinent remarks. On the second day the com- mittee en resolutions was appointed and the claims of contesting delegates di: of. On the third day balloting for a candidate for the presidency commenced without a choice being effected, which was ineffectually re- sumed on the following, the fourth day. On the fifth day, Gen. Franklin Pierce received the nomination.’’ . The Onton says: “The interest manifested in the approach- ing National Convention of the Democracy is confined to no section of the country. In every quarter entire confidence is felt in the integrity, wisdom, and patriotism of the dele- ; and, whatever solicitade may be felt y the friends of the distinguished gentlemen whose names are now mentioned in connexion with the Democratic Presidential nomination, there can be no doubt but that the action of the convention will receive the full, complete, and enthusiastic endorsement and support of the Demooratic party of the whole Union.” ———6][T4“ —_____ Book Notices. Wourspen ; An Authentic Account of Things There and Thereunto Appertaining; As They Are and Have Been. By J B. Bos- ton: Phillips, Sampson & Co For sale by Taylor & Maury. There is enough of descriptive power dis- played in portions of this book to cause the reader to regret that the author has not con- fined himself to the delineation of country life, where he seems peculiarly at home, in- stead of making his story the vehicle for con- vVeying to the world his turgid and no ways original views upon temperance. avery, &c. The scene of the story is laid for the most part in the nook of Wolfsden, among the mountains of Maine, and the picture of life and manners in the rural portions of the Pine Tree State is both accurate and interesting. Tax Eamrzst Man. A Sketch of the Char- acter and Labors of Adoniram Judson, First Missionary to Burmah. By Mrs. H C. Co- nant. Boston: Phillips. Sampson & Co. For sale in Washington by Taylor & Maury. This work was planned by the late Mrs. Judson (“Panny Forrester’’) while Dr. Way- land’s memoir of Dr. Judson was in prepara- tion, and, being a briefer history of his life and labors, is designed to meet the wants of a larger class of readers. Mrs. Judson’s de- elining health did not permit her to carry out her project, and the present volume is pre- pared at the request of the executors of Mrr. Judson, and the publishers generously relin- quizh the larger share of the profits to Dr. Judson’sorphan children. Mrs. Conant seems to have made very good use of the ample ma- terials at her command ; and while any his- tory of the career of this remarkable man could hardly be devoid of interest, this work, from its smaller size and Pleasing style, is likely to be the most popular of any memoir of Dr. Judson yet published Parsio.ocy axp Cauistagnics, for Schools and Families. By Catherine E. Beecher. New York: Harper & Brothers This little work supplies a much-felt want, and with the exception of a crotchet or two of the author upon the “cold water cure,”’ is deserving of entire and hearty approval. It is quite time that the American people should be thoroughly aroused to the steady pbysical deterioration and decay so alarmingly notice- able amongst us as a peeple. The facts and illustrations given inthis work are sufficiently startling, we should judge, to bring home to every man, women and child the necessity of conforming to those physical laws, the viols- tion of which brings such inevitable physical punishment. We hope to zee this book, or some similar work, placed es a text-book in our public schoois. Lrxpa, or the Young Pilot of the Belle Creole. A Tale of Southern Life. By Mra Caines Lee Hents. Philadeiphia - t B. Peterson. For sale in this city by J. hillington. This is one of the last Productions of the lamented Mrs. Lee Hentz, and, like many of its predecessors, is a very pleasing and faithful delineation of Southern life, society, and scenery, and the incidents are striking enough and the plot sufficiently intricate to make the work one of absorbing interest. In populari- ty, as evinced by the sald, it stands next to the “Mob Cap,”’ by the same authoress. From J Shillington we have a brochure, styled “ Political Lyrics,’ and which is a would-be satirical, poetical and pictorial squib, directed against the Administration. keer The Courier des Etats Uni its private correspondence from Miccegen conveys the information that Gen. Walker st the last dates, ina desperate situs. that he had been forced to evacuate Granada, his capital, and take refuge in the mountains, short of men, munitions, and pro- visions ; and that the denouement of the en- terprise in the shape of the destruction of the ephemeral power of the filtibusters wae, there- fore, more probable and nearer than ever. s ceemersert rag td geiantews Mission anies 1x sap opon.—The New Bed- ford (Mase.)

Me dat ans WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP The Political Prospect.—On this day as- sembles at Cincinnati the Convention whieh is to nominate s Democratic candidate for the Presidency. Notwithstanding the indiscretions which may have been up to this time committed in pressing individual preferences, and not- withstanding a certain degree of warmth may still characterize the endeavor in that body, by the friends of each of the prominent candidates, to secure the selection of their fa- vorite, we apprehend that outside partiesare sorely deceiving themselves who fancy that there will be the slightest®lukewarmness on the part of any of the disputants in support of the man, whoever he may be, who shall finally receive the nomination. Various circumstances contribute to make the ensuing presidential election one of extra- ordinary importance ; and, wh~tever differ- ence of opinion there may be as to the proper man for the occasion, the policy of the country for the next four years is becoming inevitably shaped under an existing state of affairs and the power of public sentiment in regard to those affairs, of which sentiment the Dem- ocratic party is the acknowledged standard- bearer, though under the standard are found thousands of gallant high-minded men who, in times past, have acted in opposition to that party. The wild and extravagant fanaticism of Abolition is beginning to call into action the healthy reason of the nation, North and South, East and West; and while this fanaticiam is yet sufficiently large to absorb or cast into the shade Know Nothingism and other smaller tyms, it cannot, even with all these adjuncts, make headway against the eolid arguments and patriotic impulses of the Demooratic par- ty. The Democracy has become by the very assaults of Abolition and Know Nothingism an invincible army, against which it is vain to lift a lance, and futile to strike a blow. It is well that it is so, for in this we have a security for the performance of our free insti- tutions, which would be greatly endangered, if either of those popular delusions could be- come so wide-spread as to insure their pre- dominance in the councils of the country. There is this difference, however, between the two: that Know Nothingiem has been of quick growth, is shallow of conception, and short-lived ; while Abolition has been of com- paratively slow growth, its plans are artfully laid, and nothing but the strong and settled good sense of the entire country can overcome it. One is of no account whatever, except for the temporary mischief it occasions ; the other, though not of sufficient strength to cope suc- cessfully with the Democracy, yet ia certain contingencies might be able to do it material damage, and itis therefore desirable that it should be put down forever by the firmness and decision of an overwhelming majority of the people. That such a result will follow the Cincin. nati Convention and be manifested by the election of the nominee of that Convention in November next, we cannot from present appearances entertain a particle of doubt. While, therefore, it is the duty of every pa- triot to rally to the eupport of the Union and of the constitutional rights of its citizens, and to perform his share of the labor which this duty imposes, let him take comfort in the re- flection that there isa party in the country willing and able, under the Divine sanction, to preserve these blessings to us at the present time. as doubtless there will be to continue them to usin perpetuity. Mr. Crampton in New York City, en route for Home.—We learn that this gentleman is at the residence of Anthony Barclay, Esq., in New York city, where he will remain until he leaves for Boston. It is understood that Mr. Crampton will sail in the Cunard steamer from Boston, on Wednesday next, accompanied by Mr. Anthony Barclay, late British consul at New York, and Mr. Mathew, late consul at Philadelphia. It is supposed that Mr. Row- croft, late consul at Cincinnati, will also sail on that day should he be able to finish up his business in time. Mr. Lumley remains at Washington to settle the private affairs of Mr. Crampton, but we understand will not exer- cise any official functions. The affairs of the New York consulate are left temporarily under the supervision of Joseph Fowler, Esq., of that city, but it is understood that he has no official authority. The Toronto Globe says, contrawise, that Mr. Crampton will await the orders of his Government in- Canada, and that for some time, it is expected, he will be a resident of Toronto. Mr. Sumner’s Condition —We are satisfied that the friends of Mr. Sumner, whether in- tentionally or not we will not pause to say, are circulating over the countiy statements in re- lation to his condition since the chastisement inflicted on him which are not warranted by facts. It is understood that the ph; first called in to dress his wounds has Mr Sumner could have gone out of his room the next day if he had chosen. The news- papers since then, in various distant cilies in the North, have contained d bulletins from Washington, drawn up £0 as te create the false belief that he was in a critical state by reason of his wounds and bruizes. The following from the New York Hera/d of Saturday is part of the same systematic effort : * A consultation of physicians was held at 10 o'clock this morning, in regard to the state of Mr. Sumner’s health person what- ever is yet admitted to see him. He was ra- ther more comfortable last night.”’ We have informed ourselves concerning this ramored ‘consultation of physicians,”’ and happen to know that itis, and was, all “bosh.”’ The March of the Massachusetts Know Nothings upon Washington.—The following telegtaphic morceau is going the rounds of the papers: “The American Council, No. 432, of Worces- ter, have resolved that in case of personal outrage and violence being threatened to Mr. Sumner’s colleague and others representing the old Bay State in Congress, we agree to hold ourselves prepared to depart at an hour's notice for the capital of our country, if the demand is necessary, to defend the dslogstion from this State in Cong against personal attack from Southern assassins.” Dew tell! and now the questiun arises what reception Council No. 432, of Worcester, will meet fromthe Know Nothing councils of W ash- ington? Will not the vows and oaths of the order—the “ solemn league and covenant’’— require them to fraternize and affiliate with their Worcester brethren? Would not their oaths and obligations require them to give “aid and comfort” in such case? for a reply, but shall not lay awak, while it is coming. ** Barbarous Civilisation.” —Mr. Senator Wilson, in his letter declining to “meet” Mr. e o’nights Representative Brooks, says the practice of duelling belongs to a ‘‘barbarous civilication.”” Pray what is that? An amendment toa der- barous age? Is it not s contradiction of terms? Mr. Wilson should have submitted his classical epistle to his learned colleague, Mr. Sumner, for inspection and correction. Appointment and Promotionn.—K. F. Page, a first-class clerk, has been promoted to the second class in the Pension Office, ($1,400,) vice Wm F. Sherrod, resigned. Lewis Jourdan, jr., of Indiana, has been appointed to a first-class ($1,200) clerkship, vice Page, promoted.

The anti-Fillmorites of the Fourth district of Mass., have elected John Newell delegate tothe National Convention, to asscmble in New York on the 12th of June.- John S. Phelps has been nominated for Con- — in the Sixth Missouri district by the emocrats ; J. M. Wines, by the Americans, and P. B. Lawrence, by the Bentonites. In the Massachusetts House of Representa- tives on the 26th inst., a resolution was intro- duced instructing the Adjutant General of the State to furnish each of their Senators and Representatives in Congress with two of Colt’s six barrel revolvers. The Macon, Ga., Citizen has the best author- ity for seeing that neither Hon. Howell Cobb, Hon. A Stephens, nor the Hon. R Toombs will except the Democratic nomina- tion for the Vice Presidenoy, if tendered to them. A Fremont Club was organized at Boonville, New York, on the 25th inst. Resolutions were pram, favorable to the nomination of Colonel ohn Charles Fremont for the Presidency. Governor Jones, of Tennessee, who is an old line Whig, says he is waiting for the result of the Cincinnati Convention before he determ- ines what course he will take. The Albany Register, the soft shell Know Nothing ergan, says Fillmore will be the worse beaten man that ever had the misfortune to be placed behind the distance pole ina political race, and his prospects are growing worse and worse every day. Hon. James B. Clay addressed an eld line Whig meeting in Frankfort, Ky., on the 24th instant The Chicago Democrat, Wentworth’s paper, says if the hard delegates are refused admis. sion to the Cincinnati Convention, Fillmore stands the best chance of carrying New York, On the other hand, if the softs are admitted, and a slavery entension platform adopted—as it will be—then look out for the suocess of the anti-Nebraska candidate, particularly if Fre- mont is nominated. Judge John S. Brien has declined the honor of being a Know Nothing Presidential elector in Tennessee. He is in favor of Fillmore and Donelson, neverthelcas. The Savannah Republican says that al- though in the calculations cencerning the Cin- cinpati nomination Georgia is set down for Buchanan, yet there ore many indications that her vote will be cast for Douglas. (> M. Montigny, French consul in China, says that the Chinese mix arsenic freely with the tobacco which they smoke, and those who do so are described as ‘‘stout fellows, with lungs like a blacksmith’s bellows, and rosy as cherubs.” This statement has called out letter from Dr Louda, who announces tha’ some years ago, in the course of a discussion at the Academy of Medicine, on tho agents to be employed to cure tubercular consumption, the told the assembled docters that he had found but one means of combattiog this dre The smoking of arsenic e affirmed, from his experi- ence of the efficacy in a large number of cases, his commendations of that remedy. ee ANDREW’S SOCIETY.— The quarteily meeting of this Society which te be held this evening at Temperance Hall, is postponed until MONDAY EVE, ING, June Sth, same place, at o’clock 1t* jILBERT CAMERON, Pres. ee THE LADIES OF THE CONGR =» gation of the Capitol Hill Meth. ate ee pare holding a STRAWBERRY FESTIVAL this week at the Columbia Engine House, Capitol Hill, to aid inpeying the debten their Church; to begin TUESDAY EVENING, June 3d, at7 o’clock The public generally are Tespectfully invited to attend. je 2-dt® ———— o_o ee A TINSTON BUILDING asso- CIATION.—The Ninth Annual meet- ing of the above Association will be held at the Fourth District School House Gaane on WED- NESDAY EVENING June 4th, 1856, at which time the election of officers wi! take place Stockholders will please attend, and those in ar- rears will please pay on or before that time either to the Treasurer or to Mr. James Frason, who is authorized to receive the same.
