EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON CITY: MONDAY........2++++ .+-. October 13,1556, ———— {(7 Advertisement: should be handed in by 12 o’clock, m., otherwise they may not appear uatil the next day SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS The ('nton, commenting upon the Intelli- gencer’s exp.ession of a preference for Mr. Villmore over the other Presidential candi- dates on the ground that he has been tried and proved worthy of confidence, quotes from the latter journal of a date some six weeks ago, when its editors announced their un- willingness to support Mr. Fillmore in the fol- lowing significant language: ee “We cannot forget that Mr. Fillmore was a Whig when he before conducted the govern- ment with such siggal ability; that he was surrounded by Whig advisers, and was guided in his administration by Whig principles. Now, when he has become the candidate, as he himself announces, of ‘another party, and has disclaimed the name and associations he but so recently maintained, displacing them by a so called American order, we cannot so see that, with our unchanged opinions in favor of Whig principles and Whig men, we are warranted in expecting at his hands the same course under the maxims he now es- ses 2s under those which formerly regu- lated © ‘s administration, and crowned it with such _.illiant success.’’ As to the argument of Mr. Fillmore having been trel in the Presidential capacity, the Umson says: “But there was 1 convention held in 1352, and its genuineness as a Whig body was not questioned, and that convention was held after Mr, Fillmore had “ been tried,’’ and that convention either failed to appreciate ‘the valus of experience and of proved capacity.’ or it believed that Mr. Fillmore ‘had been tried and found wanting.’’ So it seems that the decision of doubtful Whigs has more Weight with the Intelligencer than their own judgment. or that of aconyention whose devo- tion to Whigism is unsuspected.”’ The Union notices another fact in connec- tion with the late Baltimore Convention, which seems t» have been strangely over- looke1 both by its members and by the Jv telligencer, that— “They nc minated a Vice Presidential can didate who never was a Whig, who is not now a Whig, and who nevercan be a Whig in any contingency, if his own declarations are worth anything More than that: they nominated aman who bas again and again, in the most ablic and formal manner, declared that Mr. i!tmore had been tried and bad been found wanting, and was not wortby of the confidence of the American people ”’ The Jatel(.gencer again remonstrates against “ The extreme error, not to say wickedness, of @ practice which has lately sprung up among overheated partisans in some parts of the corntry, namely, that of threatening or predicting the downfall of the Union of the States in the event of the election of a certain one of the three candidates for the Presiden- cy—an idea the more monstrous when it is recollected that this obnoxious candidate may be elected with the support in most of the large free States of but two-fifths of the votes in each. leaving the remaining three-fifths and their great and prosperous Coinmonwealths to the penalties of expulsion from the Union, and the Government itself scattered into frag ments, because of the sin of the two-fifths in exercising their constitutional and never be- fore-contested right.” In alluding to the charge of “ submission ” made against it by the ‘“* Uniou,’’ the In- telligencer quotes from the Memphis Engusrer @repiy made to a similar charge by the Mem- phis Appeal The Intelligencer publishes a translation of & protest of the Government of New Granada against the recognition by our Government of General Walker's Presidency in Nicaragua. sie Ss PERSONAL « Edwin Booth and John Owens are star- t in Baltimore ing «+++ Mr. RE. @ Horton's clever “Life and Public Services of James Buchanan,’ has been republished in England Alas, for fame, however, the authors name is given as Nor- ton. e+e. The Warrenton (Va.,) Whig, states that the venerable Chief Justice Taney still remains at the Fauquier Springs, but expects to leave to-morrow for Washington city. It will be a source of gratification to his many friends to know that his bealth still continues to improve and that by proper care he will soon be entirely restored +++» The generally hostile criticism of the English journals has not injured the sale of Mrs. Stewe's new book. In London, where a tale of ore thourand copies in three month: constitutes success, the demand surpaszed the tupp'y by many thousands, within the first ten days. One bookseller in Edinburg disposed of eight thousand copies in threedays. Lhe pub- lishing price, over the water, is much less than Aa this country. ° There is a renewal of the report that Dougles Jerold is on the eve of visiting the United States, on alecturing tour. Tiacke- ray is at Spa, in Germany, occupied, it is said, in “laying the keel’’ of a new serial.

Murdoch opened at the Haymarket Theatre, London, on the 22d ult 2 in the character of Young Mirabel, in the comedy of the Inconstant, and achieved a decided success. If we are to judge of the quality of Englizh actore from tivze who have of late years visited our country, we should conclude that Mr. Murdoch was by far the beat light comedian xow in London, and we therefore cannot wender that his vivacious style, well modulated voice and pleasing man- ners, have made « favorable impression there +++» The species of operatic concerts whieh Mr. Beal hae brought into fashion in England this season, with Grisi, Mario, and a grand mass assemblage of artists, is now apparently sought to be imitated in New York by Maret azek, as it is abroad by Julian, Sims and others The plan apparently takes, and is provin specially lucrative ” It sffords some Lakende 8 vantages.

The Elections To-Morrow.—To-morrow, the 14th instant, very important elections will be held in the States of Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Indiana. In Pennsylvania, twenty-five members of Congress, a Canal Commissioner, Auditor and Surveyor are to be ¢hosen; ‘also a State Legis- lature, which will, have the selecting of a United States Senator, in place of Hon. Rich- ard Brodhead, whose term expires in March, 1857, Jwo tickets are in the field in this Staté, the Democratic and the Republican Know Nothing fusion ticket, The vote at the last gubernatorial election was for Pollock, (Opposition) 204,008; Bigler, (Dem.) 167,001. At the election for Canal Commissioner in 1855, the vote stood : Plumer, (Dem ) 161,281, Nicholson, (Opposition) 149,745. At the same election, other candidates, representing Re- publicans, Know Nothings, Natives and Whigs polled 14,250 votes. In Ohio, Judges of the Supreme Court, an Attorney General, School Commissioner, Com* missioner of Public Works and twenty-one Congressmen are to be chosen. There are three State tickets nominated, Democratic, Know Nothing and Republican. At the last gubernatorial election, Chase, the Re- publican candidate for Governor, received 146,641; Medill (Democrat,) 131,091; Trim- ble (Know Nothing,) 24,310 In Indiana, a Governor, a fall corps of State officers and Congressmen, are to be chosen. Tbe Know Nothiogs have made no nomina- tion for Congressmen or State officers. At the election for county officers in 1855, the De- mocracy was in the ascendant in this State. Extradition of Carpentier.—Some of the French newspapers, and among others, the Journal Des Debats, referring to the case of Carpentero, recentiy arrested in tho city of New York, charged with embezzlement of the funds of the French Northern Rail- road Company, express the opinion that the parties cannot lawfully be claimed or de- lived up to the French authorities, because the provisions of the extradition treaty em- brace only such persons as are charged with certain specified crimes, namely, murder, rape, forgery, arson, and embezzlement by public officers, when the same is punishable with in- famous punishment, neither of which, they say, is the crime charged in the present case. In coming to this conclusion, it would seem, they wholly overlook the fact that by a sup- plemental article of Conventica between the two Governments, it is expressty provided that all persons charged with the crimes in. cluded in the French law in the words “ Vol qualifio crime,” not being embraced in the second article of the Convention cf extradition above referred to, shall be delivered up ia conformity with the firet articles of the said Convention. The President’s Return.-—Some of the morning papers, we see, articipate the arrival of the President to day at Norfolk, Va., but we deem it more than probable, that taking advantage of the fineness of the weather the trip of the Wabash has been somewhat ex- tended seaward. Commodore Paulding, an cflicer distinguished for his urbanity and ge- nial hospitality has command of the Wabash, and the President and his party could not well be in better hands. It is not known whether the Wabash will take the President to Norfolk or Annapolis, or if it will not bring him directly up the river to Washington. Another Demcezatic Triumph.—Hardly have the brilliant Democratic victories in Delaware, Florida and Connecticut been chron- icled, when the triumphant Democracy of Michigan present their claims for notice. The returns from the election held on the 30th of September in the upper peninsula of Michigan for Senators and Kepresentatives give a ma- jority of one thousand for Robt. J. Graveraet, the Democratic candidate for Senator, and also large majurities fur the Democratic can didates for Representatives—Peter White and Abner Sherman. For the first time the Dem- ocrats have carried Untonagon county, and the Democracy of the State are confident of an overwhelming majority for Buchanan in November. Political Parsons.—The Rev. Dr. Doggett of the Methodist Episcopal Church South, ina sermon yesterday morning on the character and mizsion of John the Baptist, administered a severe rebuke to those professed ministers of the gospel who desecrate the sacred desk by mixing politics with their religious teachings. twas, he urged, the mission of the preacher to warn the people to ** repent and be saved,”’ and it indicated an unhealthy state of public sentiment when political haranguez wereforced upon the people from the pulpit. Tho fearlessness and truthfulness of the speaker’s remarks ereated a profound sensa- tion, and his invocation to God tw have mercy upon preacher-politicians met with a Tespon- sive “amen” from the congregation. Thanksgiving Day.—We see it generally recommended that the third Thursday-in No vember (20th) be selected as the day for our general thankegiving, this year; and that the Executives of the different States issue proc- lamations accordingly. The Governors of Maryland, Missouri and Maine have appointed that day. This city hes special occasion for thankful nessin its remarkable health and in its general prosperity, and whateverday may be assigned for the municipal thanksgiving will be grate- fully and devoutly observed. Tho Merrimac.—The Navy Department has intelligence that thls superb specimen of American naval architecture in her late trip across the Atlantic, arrived out in fourteen days and one hour from land to land, and in fifteen days from port to port. During the trip she made 292 miles in twenty-four hours. War Department —The Secretary of War has left Washington for a short time on a visit to West Point. During bis absence, the Pres- ident has appointed the Chief Clerk of the Department, Archibald Campbell, acting See retary of War.

POLITICAL ITE: The Democrats of the second district of Mas Removal OF tHe Capito: or Wisconsin rrom MADISON —We leagn that in consequence sachusetts have nominated Charles Il. Wick- | of the course of Madison politicians and specu- ery for Congress. There was a large and enthusiastic meeting t at Carthage, Ohio, on Saturday, a Hon Thos. Corwin addressed the meeti rtily endorsing Mr. Fillmore for the Presidency. Alexander Kayser, of St. Louis, has pub- lished a card, announcing himself as the Fre- mont Presidential elector in the Ninth Con- gressional district of Missouri. The friends of Fillmore had a la mass meeting and torch-light procession at Charles- town on Saturday night. Geo. S. Hilliard, Jas, Data, and other distingnished speakers addressed the meeting. The Manchester Union states that while the crowd were shaking hands with the President in the State House,on Thursday, an intel!i- gent young Irishman came forward, remark- ing that he supposed the President would not refute the hand of a foreign-born citizen. “I never inquire where a friend was born,’’ was the prompt reply. The Philadelphia Evening Bulletin, which first started the rumor that J.C. Breckin- ridge proposed to Buchanan to decline in favor of Fillmore, makes in the very same issue the following very true remark : ‘‘ T is the first time in the history of American politics that a canvass has been conducted by one party wholly upon lies.”’ At the meeting of the Fredericksburg Dem- oeratic Association, on Friday night, beverly Tucker, editor of the late Was! ington Sentinel, read a letter from Hon. Jesse Bright, of Indi- ana, giving assurances of that State’s going for ‘*Buck and Breck’? by thousands, and another from Judge Douglas, spoaking similar words of cheer from Illinois. The Democrats of Virginia have got outa handsomely Jithogra hed and illuminated electoral ticket. It bears on the left a por- trait of Hon James Buchanan. and on the right one of Hon. John C Breckinridge ; be- tween there is the basis of the candidates po- sition, and below is a list of all the electors in the State, with directions to voters. and the day of election, Tuesday, Nov. 4, 1856, Hon. Edward Burke, of New Hampshire, who for the last three years has acted with the opposition there, and without whose aid they could not have carried the State against the Democracy during that time, has taken the stump for Buchanan and Breckinridge On Saturday evening he addressed a large audience at Hopkinton, who had rallied at a coupie of hour’s notice. The farming towns of New Hampshire are alive for ‘“ Buck ard Breck ;’’ and hundreds of flags ure waving in oe towns of Concord, Hopkinton and Hen- niker. The evidence that Col. Fremont has been a member of the Catholic Church and now de- nies his faith through motives of expediency, has of late become so incontroverttble that a new dodge was necessary to supply the place of proof. How this has begn furnished the Tribune of Saturday tells: ‘It appears by the pamphlet, entitled ‘‘Col. Fremont Not a Roman Catholic,’’ which is published to-day at the Tribune office, that there are two Fre- monts, both of whom have belonged to the army ; both resided in Washington ; that they resemble each other, and that Fremont who is the candidate for President is not that Fremont who wasintheh _ t of attending the Catho- lic Church.” The -‘ Republicans’’ called a meeting in Mt. Morris, N. Y., and some of the marshals rode out of town a short distance to direct the delegations where to fall into line, as they should come intotown One of them having waited a long time at the forks of a road, with- out having his eyes gladdened with the sight of the moving masses that he anticipated, until finally be was elated with the appear- ance of a lengthened train of carriages coming over the hill in the direction of the village. When the head carriage reached the spot where the marshal was waiting, the driver turned his horses heads in another direction than towards the village, when the marshal rushed up and exclaimed, ‘‘ Why the h-ll don’t you go the other way? The meeting is waiting for youin the village!” “Meeting,” said the driver, ‘‘ we are going to the grave- yard with Mrs. !? The coffin being in one of the carriages, had not been observed b; the ambitious marshal, and hence his ‘‘ grave” mistake of a funeral train for a Republican demonstration. Facrs Worta Remesserine.—That Fon- taine’s Cream of Wild Fiowers unites all the virtues of the Balm of Thousand Flowers with the advantages and economy of having it in solid furm—that it cleanses the teeth, per- fumes the breath, prevents chapping, imparts to the hands and face a delightful softness and fragrance, and for shaving is superb Mothers will find it superior to all kinds of soaps and lotions for washing their infants and children. The ladies of New York and Philadelphia speak of the Cream in terms of praise, and it is rapidly taking the place of all saponaceous compounds. For sale by Taylor & Maury, and druggists generally. A Comp.ication or Disorpers.—Yellow fever, cholera and smal! pox were prevailing at Guayamas, Porto Rico, on the 9th ult. We shall defer our contemplated visit to Guaya- mas until another year. Tur Wisconsin Rattroap Land GRANtT.—A dispatch from Madison, dated the 10th inst > says that both branches of the Legislature passed the bill granting the Congressiunal do- nation of public lands, for railroad purposes, to the La Crosse and Milwaukee Railroad Company, by a constitutional vote over the Governor's veto, The vote in the Senate wag 17 to 7, and in the House 68 to 7. The bill is now a law. Another dispatch, dated the 12th, from Mil- waukio, says that the Governor has signed the La Crosse and Milwaukee Land Grant Bill This has caused great rejvicing here and the event was celebrated list night in grand style. Artirician lce.—An ice muchine has just been completed at the Cuyahoga Iron Works, Cleveland, Ohio, which is capable of produ- cing one tonof solid crystalice intwenty hours. A trial bas recently been made with the above result while the mercury stood at eighty de- greesin the apartment The estimated ex- pense of manufacturing ice by such a machine is $5 per ton, orone fourth of acent per pound. An Appropriate Toast.—One of the toasts said to have come from a lady, at the Nan- tucket (Mass ) submarine cable bail, is sup posed to reveal the remarkable interest which the island ladies take in the new line. It was this:—The Klectric Fluid—May it be tho means of introducing many “ sparks’’ to the ladies of our island home i We are informed that three thousand three hundred and seventy-nine white perch were caught at one haul, in the Housatonic river, at Stratford, a short time since.

We quote it forts wide applicability. The Examiner, we doubt not, fully accords with us as to the dubfous soundness of this strangely and con- tinually abused quotation : Tacked to the maxim, De mortuis nil nist bonumt, (nothing about the dead, but what is good,) should be the condition, Ee ntl nisi verum, (and nothing but what is true ;) which would spare many a helpless tombstone the load of falsehood it has to bear, and the pub- lic many a fulsome oration.
