Oct 12, 1S50 607-it From the Hillsborough Democrat. The question as to who will be the presi ding officer of the Senate and Commons of our next Legislature, being somewhat a matter of public discussion at this time, I wish to suggest in that connection the name of Dr Thomas N. Cameron, for the Speakership of the former body. In my opinion, sir, he is just the man for the place. To preside over a deliberative as sembly with even tolerable success, re quires qualities of the head and heart of a very peculiar order. There are occasions, which often call for the highest degree of moral courage and firmness. VVhile a Speaker is far from ever showing his own temper, should possess the rare (acuity of controling and turning away the wrath ot others. To do this he should be what is one of nature's gentlemen. Such I think is Dr Cameron. Those who served with him in the Senate during the session ot 1 846-T, know how admirably well he is qualified for the station alluded to. His fidelity to the great principles of Democ racy cannot be questioned, and it will be reflecting honor upon the party, the Sen ate, and State, to see him elevated to the place in question. CAPE FEAR. Great discovery. -The cave recently discovered near Madison, Wisconsin, is supposed to extend under the greater part of Dove and Iowa counties. An exploring party lately passed five days in examining it. They passed over and among large masses, which proved to be lead ore of fine quality, spreading over an extent of three miles. They found also fine copper ore, anil eleven pounds of native silver. Crys tals, stalactites, incrustations, &c, were abundant, and there were waterfalls and a lake, which was explored in a canoe, ami found to be thirty-seven feet deep Economist. Mr Foote was to have addressed the people of Columbus, Mississippi, on the 12th instant. One hundred persons fifty democrats and fifty whigs have invited him to partake of a public dinner at Macon, in Noxubee county lie has accepted. Dkath from ff.au. We learn from the State Gaxette, published at Trenton, New Jersey, that Win. Gordon, a mulatto, who has lived several years in that place, died iMi Friday morning from excitement produced by the fugitive-slave law. He was probably a fugitive slave, and in con stant fear of being seized under the law. sideration give way to that of getting mar ried. Don,t think of doing any thing else. Keep poking about among the rubbish of the world till you have stirred up a gem worth possessing, in the shape ot a wife. Never think of delaying the matter; for you know that delays are Jangerous. A good wife is the most constant and faithful companion you can possibly have by. vour sale, while performing the journey of lifd: a dog isn't a touch to her. She is of more service, too, than you may at first imagine. She can smooth your linen and your cares for you mend )our trousers, and per chance your manners sweeten your sour moments as well as your tea and coflee for you ru Hie, pi-ihaps, your shirt bosoni', but not your temper: and, instead of sew ing the seeds of sorrow in your nath.she will sew buttons on your shirts, and plant happiness instead of harrow teeth in yollt bosom. Yes and if vou are too confound edly lazy or too proud to do such work yourself, she will chop wood, and dig po tatoes tor dinner; lor her love for her hus band is such that it will do any thing to please him except receive company in her every-uay clothes. W hen a woman loves, she loves with a double distilled devotedness; and when she hates, she hates on the high pressure principle, tier love is as deep as the ocean, as strong 9 a hempen halter, and as immutable as the rock of ages. She won't change it, exrept in a very strong fit of jealously ; and een then it lingers as if loth to part, like evening tw ilights at the windows of the west. Get married by all means: All the excuses you can fish up. against 'doing the deed,' ain't worth a spoonful of pidgeon's milk. Mark this if, blest with health and employment, you are not able to support a wife, depend up on it, you are not capable of supporting yourself Therefore, so much the more need of annexation; for, in union, as well as in onion, there is strength. Get married, I repeat, young men! Concentrate your affections upon one object, and not distrib ute them crumb by crumb, among a host of Susans, Sarahs, Marys, Loranas, Oli vias, Augustas, Hetsies, Peggies and Dor othies allowing each scarcelv enough to riiuuie at. uet marrieu, anil nave some body to cheer you as you journey through this 'low vale of tears' somebody to scour , up your whole life, and w hatever linen you possess, in some sort of Sunday go-to-meeting order. Young women! I need not tell you to look out for your husband for I know that you are fixing contrivances to- catch one, and are as naturally on the watch as a cat is lor a mouse. Hut one word in your ear, if you pleae. Don't bait your hook with an artificial fly; if you do, the chances are ten to one that you will catch a gudgeon, some sillv fool of a fish that isn't worth his weight in saw-dust. Array the inner lady with the beautiful garments of virtue, modesty, truth, morality, and unsophistica ted love,and you will dispose of yourself quicker, and to much better advantage than you would if you displayed all the ge w-gaws; flipperjiga, fol derols, and fiddle-de-decs in the universe Remember that it is an awful thing to live and die a self manufactured old maid. My hearers get married while you are young, and then when the frosts ot age shall fall and wither the flowers of a flec tion, the leaves of connubial love will still be green, and perchance, a joyous offspring will surround and grace the parent tree, like ivy twining and adoring the time scaihed oak. Mississippi, too! Mississippi, follow ing the fashion of South Carolina, is be ginning to proclaim non-intercourse with the North, so tar as Dusmess is concerned, and some other things, as will be seen by the following resolutions, unanimously adopted at a meeting in Hinds county lately : Resolved, That we will not transact any business (either by the shipment of cotton to, or the purchase of goods from) with any merchant in the city of New Orleans who is known to be frec-soiler in his sentiments, or unless his long residence in the South and known opinions have identified him with the South. Resolved, That we will employ no school-teachers or patronize any school under the management of any person or persons who are not known to be wholly southern in all their feelings and opinions.' The Union Festival in Kentucky. A great barbecue and Union festival, in compliment to Mr Clay, whs held at the Fair Grounds, near Lexington, Kentucky, on the 17th instant. Though the day was rendered unpropitious by a heavy rain, yet a large concourse of people, w ithout dis tinction of party, were present from all parts of the State. Ex-Governor Metcalfe, as president of the meeting:, onened , the ceremonies by a speech applauding in lofty strains Mr Clay ami nis cosiiiuiors in tne prate I lately adopted by Congress. measures OIL OF POPPY SEEDS. Dr- Smith, in his editorial correspon dence to the Boston Medical Journal, in a recent letter written from Switzerland, speaking of the agricultural products of that anil the adjoining country, says: "Im mense crops ate raised here of articles wholly unknown to American farmers, and perhaps the kind best fitted to par ticular localities, where grain and potatoes yield poorly under the best efforts. One of lhee ik poppies. Thousands of acres are at this moment ready for harvest, which the traveller takes for granted. as he hurries by, are to be manufactured into opium. Thry are not, however, intended for me dicinal use at all. but for a widely different purpose. From the pppy seed a beautiful transparent oil is made, which is exten sively employed in house painting. It is almost as colorless as water, and possesses o many advantages over flax-seed oil, that it may ultimately supersede that article. Where flax seed cannot be grown, poppies often can be, even in poor sandy soil. Linseed is annually becoming dearer, and the demand for paint oil is increasing. With white lead, poppy oil leaves a beautiful surface, which does not after wards change by the action oi light into a dirty yellow. In short, this oil is des tined to bring about a revolution in domes tic economy. Another season some one should make a beginning at home in this important branch of industry. The oil may be used for other purposes, and even put up in the cruet for salads. Be not affronted at a jest. If one throw salt at thee thou wilt receive no harm, un less thou hast sore places.
