GENTLEMEN :—Your invitation to be present at a meeting in Columbus, Ohio, the olject of which is to protest against the passage of the Lecompton Constitution, has been received, and 1 much regret that duties here will prevent my attendance. I will however, take this opportunity to say, that it affords me great satisfaction to perceive that the Democratic masses are waking up to the importanee of the issnes involy ed in the Kansas question, and to the eavrinity of the fraud which the Administration is seeking to force upow the country in their name. It might seem surprising that the people have not exhibited this interest before, but when it is considered that they had nothing to attract their attention to the Kansas question but the common ery of fraud, and ouly looked upen it as the opening of an apparently phew chapter in the slavery topic, their KEYSTORE WARKEE.

This documeut shows an increase of Governmeut expenses during the Demoeratic administration of the Government since 1551, guilty of such appalling extravagance. The total amount of expenditures for the whole period included in the state3,302,371 83, nearly two age expenditure, including the extravagance of the last five or six years, of about $29,400,000 during the whole sixty-eight years. ‘This average, however, is not much more than one-half of the average expenditures since the inauguration of President Pierce. The increase since that time has been enormous, and demands the attentive consideration of the people. A cotemporary has made the comparison of the details of the appropriations of the flscal year of . 1861-52, and those of the fiseal year of i856-57, an interval of five years under Democratic administrations.

Vhat is, the expenses, in the short jterm of five years, have, in the navai establisliments, vearly doubled; in the civil list and miscellaneous, more than doubled ; aud in the Indian Department nearly trebled. The average increase, taking the whole together, is 177 per cent. In 1851-52, the receipts were about $50,000,000. In 1856-57 they were about $69,000,000. This shows an increase of 38 per cent., or a little juver a third more. ‘The increase of expenditures during the same time was 127 . ahead of the receipts 80 per cent.

Pei:haps there was never atime when his unselfish example and _ prophetic warnings were of more importance to the country than now. That Urion which he sacrificed so mucn to establish is threatened; that warning which he left asa paternal legaey to his country is slighted; and a growing discontent, nerth and south, cannot fail to create anxiety in the breast of every true patriot. At atime like this, I should rejoice to meet my countrymen from all parts of this wide-spread republic, at the Monument of Washington reared by his own native State, and there, upon that sacred altar, as children of our revolutionary sires, pledge for ourselves “our lives and our ae d honors,” to maintain this govThe Potatue.—Potatoes were first ernment, and “to frown indignantly upon . brought to Europe in 1583.

New York Prayer Meetings.--An exchange says: ‘The rule of New York is to allow clerks and others to have from 12 to 1 o’clock for refreshments, and this hour is allotted by these young men to daily prayer meetings They come with bank books in their hands—peneils behind the ear—memorandum books just peeping out of their pockets, and other marks of trade about them, and join heartily in the service. Carmen and wagon men drive up their teams to the curbstone, in their frocks, with the maris of their employ on them; come into the meeting—join heartily in the song of praise—kneel down and pray, and then pass out, jump on to their teams, and drive off to their work. ats seated in a room when a heary curtain (the undulations of which had greatly contributed te arouse my suspicion) was greatly moved on one side by unseen hands, anda young Cireassian girl entered. She worea veil, andas she paused timidly on the threshold, I detected a jright hand man, and in the collision of . which should, of itself, be sufficient to . glance of almost fear, as her large black 'debate has not yet failed to hold his . ¢™™sh out any party that can be proved . eyes fell upon me. My lady friend motioned her forward with an imperious gesture. She was magnificently dressed; her dark hair sowed with pearls, and her light blue trousers and turned . held at Columbus, Ohio. in answer to an . thousand millions of dollars, or an averup slippers heavy with gold and pearls. Obedient to her lady’s gesture she sat down on the edge of the divan, and certainly she was very beautiful. My next vision of beauty was in the house of a slave-dealer. where a young rose of the mountains was for sale. A Turkish friend accompanied me, with an English artillery officer; andthe Mahomedan gentleman proceeded to satisfy himself that the lady was tender and supple and fair. She submitted with sweet humility. The Artillery-man, who was a fine, handsome fellow, some six feet in height, and a perfect model of strength, depending doubtless upon his fascinations; next approached the lady ; but hardly had he laid his hands upon her, when full on his devoted head fell such a blow as nothing but ocular demonstration could have induced me to believe so fair a hand and arm could have bestowed; then followed such a torrent of abuse, sucha deluge of words, that we were pos:tively stunned. Our Turkish friend smiled gravely; but nothing could possibly appease the in . sulted fair, until we left the room; and as we descended the creaking stairs, the last sounds heard were the angry exclamations of the lady. She, indeed, to have been touched by an infidel! a vile Christian ! a dog of a Giaour ! I will now give an account of an Armenian wedding. The family being well off, the rooms were nicely arranged, . and in part were carpeted, and a number of musicians were playing on the violin. I was conducted to the divan; chibouks, . wine, nuts and sweetmeats being plentii fully handed around from time to time. . In the centre of the divan knelt a boy . richly dressed. The violin players. every now and then, burst into a wild extempore song, accompanying themselves on their instruments; while the . boy would start up and commence a violent kind of dance, beating castauets to . keep time with his motions. This went fon almost without intermission, for at least an hour and a half, during which, every one smoked and looked on, and at the end of that time, fairly tired out with ithe noise, I left. The following morning jtakentochurch. I did not see her go, . but I witnessed her return. She walked . between two women—her biidesmaids. I . presume—and her face was concealed . by a covering of silk, ornamented with gold, and terminated by rich gold tas. jsels. She was preceded by singers, and {followed by at least seventy women. . As she approached the threshold of her . father’s door, a sheep was thrown at her e the bride was j feet, and she suddenly stepped with her . bridesmaids, while its throat was cut . with a sharp knife, and the blood flowed jin rivulets all round the spot where she . was standing. Advancing a step or two, . she frequently stopped and kissed the hem of her father’s garment, bending very low. Presents were now offered to . he. of rich silks and cloths, and these she received, handing them to her attendant women, while a censer of incense was continually swung round her head by her father. I could not understand the custom of slaughtering a sheep on such an occasion, nor did I speak enough of the language to be able to discover its purport.— Col. Walmsley. The Effects of Moonlight—Professor Piazza Smith, the Astrouomer Royal for Scotland, in his interesting account of a recent scientifie expedition made by him to the Peak of Teneriffe, has set at rest the questio vecatia of the heat «f the moonlight. He says that his thermometrical instruments were scusibly affeeted by the moon’s rays, even at the lowest of two stations occupied by him at different elevations. In tropical climates, meat which is exposed to the moonlight rapidly becomes putrid; and in the West Indies the negroes, who will lie sweltering and uncovered beneath the full glare of a tropical sun, carcfully muffle their heads and faces when exposed to the moonbeams, which they believe will cause swelling and distortion of the features. and sometimes even blindness. Senator Hunter, in his address on Washington, at the Richmond eelebra. tion—an address, by the way, which some admiring Demoeratie editors have been rash enough to compare with the immortal oration of Everett—seemsa little in doubt a3 to whether Cesar or Washington was the move effectually great. Indeed, he seems so much in doubt that he doesn’t know his own mind on the subject. In one part of his ad. dress, speaking of the relative fewness of the great masters of human affairs, he . ‘Such undorbtedly was the fame of . Cesar, for he who founded the Roman }empire and its institutions made the . deepest and most sensible impression upon human society of all the men whose names have as yet been known.” In a subsequent passage he refers to Washington in the following terms : “A name which represents more of human fame because it has more deeply . affected human destiny than any other which figures in the annals of man.” Now, unless two spirits, unlike two bodies, can occupy the same space at the same time, the Virginia Senator will most certainly ha. ¢ to dethrone one of these august shades. Which shallit be? — Louisville Journal. hdalth of ex-Président Fillmore in his vigorous old age, thus alludes to one ot the secrets of his longevity. It farnishes an important hint for publie men, and for all who are pressed with eares: “J owe my uninterruped bodily vigor,”’ said President F., “to an originally strong constitution, to an education on a farm, and to life-long habits of regularity andtempéranée. Throughout all my public life 1 maintained the same regular and systematie habits of living to which I had previously been accustomed. I never allowed my usual hours for sleep to be interrupted. The Sabbath I always kept as a day of rest. Besides being a religious duty, it was essential to health. On commencing my _presidential career, I found that the Sabbath had frequently been employed by visi tors for private interviews with the President. I determined to put an end to this custom, and ordered my door-keepe: to meet all Sunday visitors with an indiscriminate refusal. While chairman of the Committee of Ways and Means in Congress, and during my entire Presidential term, my labors were always onerous and often excessive; but I nev er suffered an hour of sickness through them all.” Men in active business, all others, cannot be too careful of their Sabbath hours. Health and wealth, and prosperity for both worlds, are more dependent on the proper disposal of cne seventh part our time than many are apt to think. A Pulpit Alternative—The Atlants Monthly says: A young minister who had made himself conspicuous for a se vere and denunciatory style of preach ing, came to him one day to ingnire why he did not have more success. “Why man,’’ said the doctor, “can’t you takea lesson of the fisherman? How do you go to work if you want tocateh a trout? You get a little hook and a fine line, you bait it carefully, and throw it in as gent ly as possible, and then you sit and wait and humor your fish till you ean get him ashore. Now you get a great cod hook and rope line, and thrash it into the wa ter, and baw] out, ‘Bite or be damned!’”’ A Strong Minded Woman.—Mv. Clay ton, author of a book on the Crimean campaign, met in his journey with a strong-minded woman. Hesays: “We next touched at Malta, taking on board a few fresh passengers in lieu of some we landed there. Among the new com ers was a lady of a most violent temper, so ungovernable that she hated mortally all who did not agree entirely with her ideas upon everything. Her husband informed us that just before his marriage he was warned, by several, of the lady's fiery disposition, and, to test the accuracy of the information, one evening, as he sat next to her at dinrer, he managed cleverly to jog the servant’s elbow as a plate ef mock-turtle soup was <ffered her, which of course was upset over the young lady’s white dress of tulle’ lace No complaint, nor even a frown, being evinced, the delighted suitor concluded ‘that what he had heard was a mistake, and that his inamorata had the temper of a lamb who had been fed upon mashed potatoes, and as harmless as water gruel. So the marriage took place ; but soon the lady’s real character displayed itself, as is always the case after marriage, but never before, and his wife, like a human Stromboli, was subjected to fiery eruptions every ter minutes, upon a fair average. ‘How is it, my dear,’ said the happy husband, ‘that having such a bad temper, you stood the ordeal by soupso well? ‘Why,’ answered the lady, ‘I may have appeared indifferent at the time, bat, good heavens! you should only have gone into my room @ little while afterwards and seen the tharks of my teeth on the bed-post !”’ A Good Addition.—A pious old gentleman, one of the salt of the earth sort, went out into the field to catch his mare that was wont to bear him to town. He moved on the most approved mode. He shook a measure of corn at her to delude her into the belief that she was to get it; but she was not to be deeeived by any such specious act. She would come nigh and then dash off again, uutil the good man was fretted very badly. At last he got her ina corner among some briars, and made a dash at her, when she bounded over the wall and left him sprawling among the bushes. His christian fortitude gave way at this, and gathering himself up, he cried—*Oh, hell.” The ejaculation had passed his lips before he thought, but immediately conscious of its wickedness, he said—“lelujah!” and translated the profane word into a note of triumph. How to Preserve Powder Magazines from Explosion.—General Piobert, of the French Artillery, and a member of the Institute, has made a discovery by which the explosion of gunpowder in magazines may be prevented. It consists simply of mixing the gunpowder with coal dust. When the gunpowder is required for use, it is only necessary to sift it; the coal dust falts through the sieve, aud the gunpowder resumes its original qualities. ‘he experiment has been tried ona large scale with complete success. A magazine filled with gunpowder so mixed was set on fire. “No explosion took place,” says the Moniteur de l Armee ; “the gunpowder burned lixe other combustible matters, such as pitch or tar, and the fire was extinguished with common oer No More Mapetra.—A. Funchal, correspondent of the Philadelphia Led . ger, says that it is now an open question whether any more Madeira wine will oe be produced. None has been mado since 1851, and there are now only some seven or eight thousand pipes upon the entire island. All recent attempts to manufacture the wine have utterly fail ea, and pumpkin vines now adorn the ‘old grape arbors, once covered with abundant clusters of rich grapes.

I will however, take this opportunity to say, that it affords me great satisfaction to perceive that the Democratic masses are waking up to the importanee of the issnes involy ed in the Kansas question, and to the eavrinity of the fraud which the Administration is seeking to force upow the country in their name. It might seem surprising that the people have not exhibited this interest before, but when it is considered that they had nothing to attract their attention to the Kansas question but the common ery of fraud, and ouly looked upen it as the opening of an apparently phew chapter in the slavery topic, their KEYSTORE WARKEE.

This documeut shows an increase of Governmeut expenses during the Demoeratic administration of the Government since 1551, guilty of such appalling extravagance. The total amount of expenditures for the whole period included in the state3,302,371 83, nearly two age expenditure, including the extravagance of the last five or six years, of about $29,400,000 during the whole sixty-eight years. ‘This average, however, is not much more than one-half of the average expenditures since the inauguration of President Pierce. The increase since that time has been enormous, and demands the attentive consideration of the people. A cotemporary has made the comparison of the details of the appropriations of the flscal year of . 1861-52, and those of the fiseal year of i856-57, an interval of five years under Democratic administrations.

Vhat is, the expenses, in the short jterm of five years, have, in the navai establisliments, vearly doubled; in the civil list and miscellaneous, more than doubled ; aud in the Indian Department nearly trebled. The average increase, taking the whole together, is 177 per cent. In 1851-52, the receipts were about $50,000,000. In 1856-57 they were about $69,000,000. This shows an increase of 38 per cent., or a little juver a third more. ‘The increase of expenditures during the same time was 127 . ahead of the receipts 80 per cent.

New York Prayer Meetings.--An exchange says: ‘The rule of New York is to allow clerks and others to have from 12 to 1 o’clock for refreshments, and this hour is allotted by these young men to daily prayer meetings They come with bank books in their hands—peneils behind the ear—memorandum books just peeping out of their pockets, and other marks of trade about them, and join heartily in the service. Carmen and wagon men drive up their teams to the curbstone, in their frocks, with the maris of their employ on them; come into the meeting—join heartily in the song of praise—kneel down and pray, and then pass out, jump on to their teams, and drive off to their work. ats seated in a room when a heary curtain (the undulations of which had greatly contributed te arouse my suspicion) was greatly moved on one side by unseen hands, anda young Cireassian girl entered. She worea veil, andas she paused timidly on the threshold, I detected a jright hand man, and in the collision of . which should, of itself, be sufficient to . glance of almost fear, as her large black 'debate has not yet failed to hold his . ¢™™sh out any party that can be proved . eyes fell upon me. My lady friend motioned her forward with an imperious gesture. She was magnificently dressed; her dark hair sowed with pearls, and her light blue trousers and turned . held at Columbus, Ohio. in answer to an . thousand millions of dollars, or an averup slippers heavy with gold and pearls. Obedient to her lady’s gesture she sat down on the edge of the divan, and certainly she was very beautiful. My next vision of beauty was in the house of a slave-dealer. where a young rose of the mountains was for sale. A Turkish friend accompanied me, with an English artillery officer; andthe Mahomedan gentleman proceeded to satisfy himself that the lady was tender and supple and fair. She submitted with sweet humility. The Artillery-man, who was a fine, handsome fellow, some six feet in height, and a perfect model of strength, depending doubtless upon his fascinations; next approached the lady ; but hardly had he laid his hands upon her, when full on his devoted head fell such a blow as nothing but ocular demonstration could have induced me to believe so fair a hand and arm could have bestowed; then followed such a torrent of abuse, sucha deluge of words, that we were pos:tively stunned. Our Turkish friend smiled gravely; but nothing could possibly appease the in . sulted fair, until we left the room; and as we descended the creaking stairs, the last sounds heard were the angry exclamations of the lady. She, indeed, to have been touched by an infidel! a vile Christian ! a dog of a Giaour ! I will now give an account of an Armenian wedding. The family being well off, the rooms were nicely arranged, . and in part were carpeted, and a number of musicians were playing on the violin. I was conducted to the divan; chibouks, . wine, nuts and sweetmeats being plentii fully handed around from time to time. . In the centre of the divan knelt a boy . richly dressed. The violin players. every now and then, burst into a wild extempore song, accompanying themselves on their instruments; while the . boy would start up and commence a violent kind of dance, beating castauets to . keep time with his motions. This went fon almost without intermission, for at least an hour and a half, during which, every one smoked and looked on, and at the end of that time, fairly tired out with ithe noise, I left. The following morning jtakentochurch. I did not see her go, . but I witnessed her return. She walked . between two women—her biidesmaids. I . presume—and her face was concealed . by a covering of silk, ornamented with gold, and terminated by rich gold tas. jsels. She was preceded by singers, and {followed by at least seventy women. . As she approached the threshold of her . father’s door, a sheep was thrown at her e the bride was j feet, and she suddenly stepped with her . bridesmaids, while its throat was cut . with a sharp knife, and the blood flowed jin rivulets all round the spot where she . was standing. Advancing a step or two, . she frequently stopped and kissed the hem of her father’s garment, bending very low. Presents were now offered to . he. of rich silks and cloths, and these she received, handing them to her attendant women, while a censer of incense was continually swung round her head by her father. I could not understand the custom of slaughtering a sheep on such an occasion, nor did I speak enough of the language to be able to discover its purport.— Col. Walmsley. The Effects of Moonlight—Professor Piazza Smith, the Astrouomer Royal for Scotland, in his interesting account of a recent scientifie expedition made by him to the Peak of Teneriffe, has set at rest the questio vecatia of the heat «f the moonlight. He says that his thermometrical instruments were scusibly affeeted by the moon’s rays, even at the lowest of two stations occupied by him at different elevations. In tropical climates, meat which is exposed to the moonlight rapidly becomes putrid; and in the West Indies the negroes, who will lie sweltering and uncovered beneath the full glare of a tropical sun, carcfully muffle their heads and faces when exposed to the moonbeams, which they believe will cause swelling and distortion of the features. and sometimes even blindness. Senator Hunter, in his address on Washington, at the Richmond eelebra. tion—an address, by the way, which some admiring Demoeratie editors have been rash enough to compare with the immortal oration of Everett—seemsa little in doubt a3 to whether Cesar or Washington was the move effectually great. Indeed, he seems so much in doubt that he doesn’t know his own mind on the subject. In one part of his ad. dress, speaking of the relative fewness of the great masters of human affairs, he . ‘Such undorbtedly was the fame of . Cesar, for he who founded the Roman }empire and its institutions made the . deepest and most sensible impression upon human society of all the men whose names have as yet been known.” In a subsequent passage he refers to Washington in the following terms : “A name which represents more of human fame because it has more deeply . affected human destiny than any other which figures in the annals of man.” Now, unless two spirits, unlike two bodies, can occupy the same space at the same time, the Virginia Senator will most certainly ha. ¢ to dethrone one of these august shades. Which shallit be? — Louisville Journal. hdalth of ex-Président Fillmore in his vigorous old age, thus alludes to one ot the secrets of his longevity. It farnishes an important hint for publie men, and for all who are pressed with eares: “J owe my uninterruped bodily vigor,”’ said President F., “to an originally strong constitution, to an education on a farm, and to life-long habits of regularity andtempéranée. Throughout all my public life 1 maintained the same regular and systematie habits of living to which I had previously been accustomed. I never allowed my usual hours for sleep to be interrupted. The Sabbath I always kept as a day of rest. Besides being a religious duty, it was essential to health. On commencing my _presidential career, I found that the Sabbath had frequently been employed by visi tors for private interviews with the President. I determined to put an end to this custom, and ordered my door-keepe: to meet all Sunday visitors with an indiscriminate refusal. While chairman of the Committee of Ways and Means in Congress, and during my entire Presidential term, my labors were always onerous and often excessive; but I nev er suffered an hour of sickness through them all.” Men in active business, all others, cannot be too careful of their Sabbath hours. Health and wealth, and prosperity for both worlds, are more dependent on the proper disposal of cne seventh part our time than many are apt to think. A Pulpit Alternative—The Atlants Monthly says: A young minister who had made himself conspicuous for a se vere and denunciatory style of preach ing, came to him one day to ingnire why he did not have more success. “Why man,’’ said the doctor, “can’t you takea lesson of the fisherman? How do you go to work if you want tocateh a trout? You get a little hook and a fine line, you bait it carefully, and throw it in as gent ly as possible, and then you sit and wait and humor your fish till you ean get him ashore. Now you get a great cod hook and rope line, and thrash it into the wa ter, and baw] out, ‘Bite or be damned!’”’ A Strong Minded Woman.—Mv. Clay ton, author of a book on the Crimean campaign, met in his journey with a strong-minded woman. Hesays: “We next touched at Malta, taking on board a few fresh passengers in lieu of some we landed there. Among the new com ers was a lady of a most violent temper, so ungovernable that she hated mortally all who did not agree entirely with her ideas upon everything. Her husband informed us that just before his marriage he was warned, by several, of the lady's fiery disposition, and, to test the accuracy of the information, one evening, as he sat next to her at dinrer, he managed cleverly to jog the servant’s elbow as a plate ef mock-turtle soup was <ffered her, which of course was upset over the young lady’s white dress of tulle’ lace No complaint, nor even a frown, being evinced, the delighted suitor concluded ‘that what he had heard was a mistake, and that his inamorata had the temper of a lamb who had been fed upon mashed potatoes, and as harmless as water gruel. So the marriage took place ; but soon the lady’s real character displayed itself, as is always the case after marriage, but never before, and his wife, like a human Stromboli, was subjected to fiery eruptions every ter minutes, upon a fair average. ‘How is it, my dear,’ said the happy husband, ‘that having such a bad temper, you stood the ordeal by soupso well? ‘Why,’ answered the lady, ‘I may have appeared indifferent at the time, bat, good heavens! you should only have gone into my room @ little while afterwards and seen the tharks of my teeth on the bed-post !”’ A Good Addition.—A pious old gentleman, one of the salt of the earth sort, went out into the field to catch his mare that was wont to bear him to town. He moved on the most approved mode. He shook a measure of corn at her to delude her into the belief that she was to get it; but she was not to be deeeived by any such specious act. She would come nigh and then dash off again, uutil the good man was fretted very badly. At last he got her ina corner among some briars, and made a dash at her, when she bounded over the wall and left him sprawling among the bushes. His christian fortitude gave way at this, and gathering himself up, he cried—*Oh, hell.” The ejaculation had passed his lips before he thought, but immediately conscious of its wickedness, he said—“lelujah!” and translated the profane word into a note of triumph. How to Preserve Powder Magazines from Explosion.—General Piobert, of the French Artillery, and a member of the Institute, has made a discovery by which the explosion of gunpowder in magazines may be prevented. It consists simply of mixing the gunpowder with coal dust. When the gunpowder is required for use, it is only necessary to sift it; the coal dust falts through the sieve, aud the gunpowder resumes its original qualities. ‘he experiment has been tried ona large scale with complete success. A magazine filled with gunpowder so mixed was set on fire. “No explosion took place,” says the Moniteur de l Armee ; “the gunpowder burned lixe other combustible matters, such as pitch or tar, and the fire was extinguished with common oer No More Mapetra.—A. Funchal, correspondent of the Philadelphia Led . ger, says that it is now an open question whether any more Madeira wine will oe be produced. None has been mado since 1851, and there are now only some seven or eight thousand pipes upon the entire island. All recent attempts to manufacture the wine have utterly fail ea, and pumpkin vines now adorn the ‘old grape arbors, once covered with abundant clusters of rich grapes.
