A. ZOLL. h (I.LS-Swect, sperm, lard, and linseed oils, for ci _sale frt MILLER's Drag 2tere. aj The Snath of Augsburg. Three hundred-ye o there lived at Augs burg a lad nam Id, apprentice to a smith, whose dili d industry obtained him the approvali regard of his master, while his good nature and obliging disposition caused him to be a favorite*with all who knew him. His master, in truth, so highly estimated his skillfulness and ex:ellent workmanship, that, when the boy grew into a man, he offered to make him his partner, and moreover hinted that he was not displeased at the young man's friendship with his daughter. Now this alarmed Willibald, who, though certainly much favored by the young lady, was quite free from any feeling of love for her. He replied to all her advances with distant though , profound respect, and the reason of his coldness e was apparent. In the small house opposite lived dame Mar k tha, a respectable widow, with a granddaugh ter of uncommon loveliness,about sixteen years n of age. The sweet face of the young Ellen had it quite captivated the heart of Willibald, and. when he saw her through the window, or the open door, neatly dressed, sitting at the spin ning wheel, or heard her clear voice warbling hymns, he thought there could be no happiness so great as that of calling her his own. Ellen was her grandam's darling, and the delight of 9 her eyes, and the old woman seldom suffered her to stir from her sight. So that there was no opportunity for the youth to declare tlh pas sion with which the fair girl had inspired him. For a long while did Willibald wish in vain for some pretence for a visit to their dwelling, Y lyýt fortune at length favo d him. One day when the snow and ice made the ground so slippery as to be dangerous to an infirm person he saw dame Martha coming out of the church alone. He hastened to offea the assistance of s his arm, and conducted her home. She invited him to enter, for she thought to herself that only a very worthy young man would be so courteously attentive to an aged dame. She offered him.also a cup of beer, which the pretty Ellen prlesented with her own hands. Who was now happier than Willibald? From this day he was one of Dame Martha's most frequent visiters, and was always received with y a welcome. In process of time, he made bold to lay open his heart to the old woman, and ask Y permission to make love tohergranddaughter. -"My dear young friend," was her reply, "I have the highest esteem for you, and, indeed, y could never wish for Ellen a better husband than yourself. I believe sheloves, you too. as I much as becomes a damsel, but you have not yet sufficient for the support of a wife. I can give my -little girl nothing except a good stock of clothing as her portion, and it is not the part of prudence to commence life by falling into debt. Save from your wages a decent sum, thirty gold pieces, that will be enough, as I know, for a beginning, then come and receive your bride with my blessing." s Willibald was almost beside himselfwith joy. He had now an object for labor and frugality, and he redoubled his industry, laying by care fully all he.made. Ellen assited him, for she was much attached to him, and spun more briskly than ever, now that she was permitted to add ller small savings to her lover's store. The lovers met less frequently, but their time passed pleasantly, for they were both incessant ly occupied, with hope to animate their toil. Every Sunday evening Willibald went over to dame Martha's, and told her how much he had earned and saved the preceding week. Thus the weeks passed, and eighteen months rolled by, and the young smith with joy an nounced himself master of five-and-twenty gold pieces. About this time dame Martha became indis posed with a bad cough, which rendered her almost helpless, at least quite unable to work according to her custom. Her physician pre scribed change of air, and said a longer abode in the narrow and confined streets of the city would kill her. She must remove to the coun try. The dame followed this advice, and took a little cottage in the suburbs, about an hour's walk from the city. S Willibad was grieved enough when he found himself so far from his beloved, but he loved her the more, and proved the truth of the old proverb, "the further off the charmer, the dearer the way to her." Every Sunday he went to visit her, and thought the air of the country even improved her beauty. One day as Willibald approached the house, Ellen came to meet him weeping. She sobbed j bitterly as he drew near, and exclaimed, "Ah, .t Willibald, what a misfortune!" "You know it, then!" cried he, with faltering Svoice. S "What-no-what?" asked Ellen, quickly and eagerly. "That I have been robbed of my box of a money," answered the youth, in a tone of an guish. "I could find it nowhere this morning some one has stolen it. You see all our pru Sdence and foresight has gone for nothing." "Alas!" replied Ellen, "then misfortunes f never come single! Yesterday morning a rich gentleman came to our cottage. He asked for* a drink of water, and when I handed it to him, he looked at me earnestly, and asked ifI would '.o with him and be his wife. I answered 'no,' but he returned early this mouiing, and de Smanded me of grandam. His name is Wer - nei, hlie is a rich merchant from Ulm. Even r now he is sitting in the room yonder, with my g~andam, drinking wine, and telling her of his hosase and lands, while his servant, who stands by ohe chimney, confirms everything hlie says. But'be comforted, dear Willibald, my grandam may say what she will, I will die rather than be faithless to you!" o Here dame Martha came out of the house, and cbmmanded Ellen to go in directly. The poor girl was forced to obey, and the old wo s, man said to Willibald, "Young man, I came to say to you that I think it best you should come no more to my cottage. A rich man is,a sui tor tormy Ellen, and it is my duty to do what is for her good. I say nothing of myself and my infim age, I could cheerfully bear hard ship, bnit I wish to see hersurrounded by cem fort and elegance. I put it to yourself-what could you offer the girl? Would you have her bind herself to poverty and toil, now when she may place herself in ease and affluence?" "Very rgood-very good, dame Martha!" cried Willibald, half choking with emotion. "I say nothing of your conduct! If you choose to break an hone fellow's heart-and your own word also-'tiisll the same to you!" "But, Williball," persisted the dame, :lis ten to me"-but he impetuous youth was al ready several pabs off. She called after him, but the sound of her voice did not serve to check the mad speed at which he rushed on. j Despair drove hini, and he slacked not his pace till he found, himself in the open fields, night gathering a'ound him. It was darker night, however, i his own breast. He threw himself on the und and cursed himself and his destiny-for tears would come to his re lief. When bet t, too, of Ellen, and her wretchedness, his t was like to break. Some hours must he passed unmarked in the indulgence of his f, for it was late when he Lose, and tried to d his way homeward. After wandering abou me time, without being able to discover theoad, he found that he was in a church-yard. .ihe tall spire of the church was visible at sona. distance, in relief against the drifting eoa "There is the house where the people go to pray," mur s- mured the youth bitterly. "Have I not also a prayed, have I not toiled, have I not denied d myself? Have I not kept my soul from taint r, of sin? And what ismyreward? Ellen is lost 4 ?n to me. Prayers will not give her back, else w couldI pray-aye, to the bad fiend himself d and promise to ~e his, so she would be mine!" P· Scarce had thje distressed youth uttered these d wild words, when a sound of shrill laughter d near startled him, and looking round, he saw a 's figure which he had no difficulty in recognizing by the well-known horns and cloven foot. "I h amni e," cried he in hoarse tones, "at your as se , and ready to do your bidding, asking [e only a small service in return." "h "What is that?" Willibald mustered courage ss to say, though he trembled all over. "You are, as I happen to know," said the r- fiend, "an excellent smith. I have a piece of 1- work for you. Follow me, I will take you to a rs spot where lies buried one of my subjects. You Id must make me an iron railing round his grave and, in reward, I will give you your bride." ie "If you have, nothing mote to ask, I am I - content," replied the young man. g "This is all, but it is a harder task than you 4 ss imagine. You have but one hour to work. At n twelve you must begin, and the railing mi of be completed by the time the clock strikes o d If it is done, you aje free, if not, you being is me forever." s- Willibald paused an instant, but a flood of . wild thoughts came rushing brain, and the pas sionate desire to snath Ellen from his rival overcame all his prudence. He pledged him Y self to the unhallowed contract, and followed o the fiend, who hobbled on till he stood by a n new-made grave. "To your work, my lad," 1 h he cried and vanished. ° At the same instant, Willibald saw fire d spring out of the ground beside him, and it caught a glimpse of several bars of iron, and o the tools of his trade. The clock on the church 1e tower struck twelve, and starting, he betook' hy bimself, to york. So diligently did he apply himself, that work grew rapidly under .his m hand, the railing was almost finished. AL sin st gle screw onl was wanting to complete it,he,'i h the dull sound of the clock was heard striking Id one, and Willibald fell to the ground insensible. When his sense returned it was morning, r. the sun was shining brightly, and he-thought '` all that had passed a wild dream. But a sight ' of the railing nearly finished around the grave. id and a rusty bar of iron lying on the ground, is convinced him of its reality. There was, how °t ever, no race of the fire, and the tools had in disappeared. k Full of shamcand repentence, Willibald has rt tened to the church, to pray more earnestly to than he had ever prayed before, for the pardon °, of his dreadful sin. His heart was lighter after I the prayer, but he could not go home to work le that day, and sadly he walked toward dame Martha's cottage. Y" Ellen came to meet him, as before, and shed Y' tears as she threw her arms round his neck. "- "This time," she said, "they are tears of 1e joy. When you left us so suddenly yesterday re I also came from the house, and into this little d garden, where I might weep undisturbed. I e. sat there long, Willibald, long after dusk, when 1e as I leaned my head on the table yonder, think t- ing hopelessly of you, a female figure approach i. ed me. She resembled my dead mother, but to she smiled very sweetly, Willibald, and said, "e "Weep not, my child, but pray-pray for your k. lover, he is in very great danger." She van 's ished before I could thank her, but I remem °- bered her words and prayed for you, Willibald, Id all night long." The young man shuddered, but raised his s- eyes upward in thankfulness. rr "Early this morning," continued the damsel, k "came Herr Werner, I went out to meet him, e- and told him I would die rather than become le his wife. He was much vexed, but without ty another word, mounted his horse and rode away ° followed by his servant. My grandam was an a gry, but my conscience told me I did right, and ' now that you return to me in safety, Willibald, I am sure that I have the blessing of heaven." d And .the young smith felt the same assurance d when a few days after, his box of treasure was Id restored to him by his master's daughter, who 1e in a fit of jealousy or love of mischief, had at sto!en it from him. Dame Martha could no 7 longer withhold her consent, but, before Willi bald dared to claim Ellen as his bride, he con e, fessed his great sin to the priest, and submit d ted to the penance enjoined upon him, and this , of course saved him. The lovers were married and lived happily Sremembering their past troubles only as a war ning against discontent and a want of submis Ssion to Providence. "If I had been suffered to perish then," would Willibald say, "my want 1 Sof faith would have deserved such a doom!" '- To this day the poor people of Augsburg learn ig the same lesson, for to this day the iron railing •- with its one screw wanting, is an object of won der and curiosity. Many skillful wormen have s essayed to furnish a screw that will fit, but the I h current saying is, that "no thread will ever be < Smade for it. unless by the fiend himself," and < i we incline to the same opinion. The records of the country abound in evi dence, that the present love of foreigners, r- avowed by the democracy, is mere pretense. *n Their charge of proscription against the Amer y ican party for openly acting upon the princi is ciple that Americans shall rule America, is Is designed solely to dupe the ignorant, rather i s. than to express sincere adhorrence of the doe- i n trine. Otherwise they are convicted by the i e record with most shameless inconsistency. I We have before us a copy of Prince's digest t of the laws of Georgia, in which we find some e convincing argument going to show that the t democratic party of that State, in 1833-35, t 0 proscribed foreigners 'with a vengeance.' In t e an act of the legislature of Georgia, passed I Dec. 31st, 1833, to incorporate a railroad from c t Augusta to Eaton, Madison and Athens, we v d find on page 31, sectionxvii., that'No foreign- n er, either directly or indirectly, shall own stock a in said railroad or bank, and if any foreigner t shall own stockin any wise, the same shall be I r forfeited to the State.' The charter allowed ti banking privileges to the railroad company- I but rigidly excluded foreigners from it, as will e be seen. Now, let us turn to page 334, to the tI act incorporating the Central railroad and canal y company of Georgia, and we will find section o vxvii.; reads thus: s( * No foreigner,by himself or agent,shall own, b possess or control, in any way, either, directly p or indirectly, any stock in said company; and fc in the event of any stock being owned, pos- h; sessed or controlled as aforesaid, the same tI shall become forfeited to the State of Georgia." ti And again: An act to incorporate the Chat- ci tahoochee railroad company, passed 21st day ti of Dec., 1835, and approved Dec. 29, 1836, p. contains, in section xxvi., page 367, the words as comprised in the above section. as Remember, voters, it was an 'out and out' tr democratic legislature that so unceremoniously w excluded the dear foreigner. Oh! how they je loved the dear foreigner then-when there was M not a sufficient number in the State, to callfor th their adulatory addresses for votes,. iol T.e Elizebethtown (Ky.)

Walter Brashear, at of St. Mary, stating his design of visiting that se parish for the purpose of doing all he could to - promote the success of the anti-know-nothing ticket at the approaching election. Mr. Taylor e assuming that Mr. Brashear was opposed to er the principles of the American organizaton,de a sired to obtain the good offices of the latter in ig making him acquainted with the people, etc. 'I As will be seen by the subjoined response of ir Mr. Brashear, which has been kindly forwarded ig us, all gentlemanly courtesies have been freely tendered, and have, ere this, no doubt been e faithfully performed. But further than this the venerable Brashear ie could not go. Although the frosts of nearly 4 of fourscore years have settled upon his head, his a intellect is as clear, and his heart as full of pa 'u triotism as they were in the full flush of vigo :e rous manhood, when hope danced attendance upon a useful present and pointed the way to a m brilliant future, all of which was fully realized in years of valuable public service, as the re nu cords gf the state amply prove. Mr. Brashear I Lt could not lend his influence against his own en, although requested by Mr. Miles He could not consent to forego the es he advocated nearly twelve years ago mt a legislature, when Thomas Green David of son, dr. M.cFarlane, and many other of our op s- ponents stood by his side and sustained Ameri al can doctrines far more stringent in their appli i- cation than those now promulgated in American d platforms. The gathered experience of years a has only strengthened earlier convictions, and the honored and venerable ex-senator feels re newed and reinvigorated as the realization of re what he ever deemed essential to the salvation id of his beloved country draws nigher to a trium Id phant consummation. h We will not detain our readers, further from )k ,the perusal of Mr. Brashear's letter. As an ly ardent admirer of the illustrious Henry Clay is odee said about his mouth-it speaks for itself: a- BERWICK'S BAY, 7th September, 1855. r. HowN MuES TAYLOR: Dear Sir-Your es ig teemed favor of the 4th inst., was received yes e. terday, and the contents duly considered. 7, Should the lethargy of agge iot prevent me, I ht shall be happy to meet and welcemeyouto St. it Mary on Wednesday next, in Frarrklin, as you e. contemplate being there on that day-when I 3, will, as far as practicable, make you acquainted v- with such of my friends as will know how to id appreciate your high intelligence-the honora ble bearing of your life, private and political. s- But when you hope for my aid in overthrow ly ing the native American organization-an or mn ganization under the name of know nothings, er which, whether either viewed in its numbers, rk its respectability of members, or its avowed ie principles, offers no exceptional points to my approval-you but ask me to retract my course td steadily pursued since 1836-7, and, to retract opinions then entertained in common with the of hon. Green Davidson, dr. McFarlane,and many tv other staunch democrats, who stood shoulder le to shoulder with me in the legislature on this I subject,while we were antipodes in sentiment on n nearly every other. k- You compliment me by saying that I have b- been the ardent advocate of southern interests, ut and hence would seem to expect my coopera d, tion in antagonism to the American organiza ur tion, thereby assuming that organization to be n- hostile to southern interests. n- Make that inference appear well founded, and d, you will have all the aid an octagenarian can give to put down such a suicidal organization, is but you must not offer me as proof the slander ous falsehoods of its enemies, since I know men ii, who do not deny their fellowship, who would n,. not remain an hour in the association if but se half the treasonable motives were true which ut have been attributed. ty I do not, however, admit as among legitimate n - means of southern influence the new and strange id proposition of senator Benjamin, in effect, that d, the south, armed and equipped for war, should " array itself on Mason and Dixon's line, and in :e vite the enemy to come on! We have had as enough and too much of b'luster-too much of io the cowardly gisconade directed to the fears of id the north, and pointing to the battle-field as o0 ultimate arbiter. Southerners have not learned li- seemingly, that there is more to be dreaded n- from the calm courage which marches to the t- encounter of enemies without threat or noise is than from noisy threat and flourished weapons. An extreme of touchiness, accompanied by y threats of violence, has characterized southern r- action on the subject of slavery (thereby fos s- tering the fire which would otherwise have died to out) every since the constitutional detail of the t right of petition on the subject, and a tone of " superiority and arrogance, more suited to the n style of a master addriessing his slaves than to g the intercourse of firiends orequals, has perva - ded most of our southern, written or spoken, e productions on the subject. - This I deplore e nearly as much as I do the extreme of fanati e cism and folly which marks the language and d conduct of the abolitionists, whose members, as I hope and believe, are few, and who will, I do not doubt, speedily, under the influence of i- their neighbors and our own improved manners s, be silenced forever, or at least, convinced that e. God Almighty having admitted slavery into r- the world, if in error or mistake has not made i- it incumbent on them to assist him to correct it. is In what respect the American party, as such !r can endanger the interest of the south, I am :- unable to comprehend. Certain it is that the e neophytes of the order are bidden to lay aside the principles and distinctions of the old par it ties, and to promise devotion to the great prin e ciple that "Amcericans shall rule America" In e this sentiment I heartily concur, and find in , the lessons of the past enough to assure me a that whenever it shall have domination over i public sentiment, none of the disgraceful scenes a of Plaquemine fi-auds, and of naturalization e without residence qualifications, as was made - notorious in judge Bosworth's impeachment,can again stain the archives of our country. I r I was born an American, a subject of George e III. My father, who aided in the emancipa- r I tion of our country from the government of the - British crown, left us poo' as most of the for I eigners who come among us-having labored C :through many vicissitudes of fortune for sixty 1 years industriously, soberly, and in the practice i of economy to rear a large family and provide 1 something for my declining age-I have never t been able toperceive the right in having that t property voted away through demagogues and ti foreigners; much more grievous to me, however o has it been to witness my country's policy, ri through her legislation, moulded to purchase f the support of the ignorant, bigoted and even ci criminal crowds of foreigners who have been w thrown upon our shores. If the American si party can stem and turn back this disorganizing al and corrupting wave, far from me shall be the fc act of interposing to prevent them--on the con- r< trary, if that death which must shortly come ti were now veiling from my sight all earthly ob- re jects, my last cry should bid them, onward! A My last sigh should be expended in a prayer for in their success! be Trusting that the above expression of opin- hi ions will excupe me frosnany contribution to your main objects, beyond the mere courtesies due you, as a gentleman, which I again tender, at I remain, with high consideration, yosurobe- hi dient servant.

It is to be found in the it July number of 1850, and furnishes a fine com o mentary on the proverb, "circumstances alter g cases." Read it: ir "These European reformers who are flocking o hither by thousands, bring with them the pesti lent products of the worn out soil of the old n world-which, it would seem, whenever it falls into labor, produces nothing but monsters. >f They bring with them a host of extravagant d notions of freedom, or a plenty of crude, un y digested theories, which are utterly irreconcila n ble with obedience to laws of our own making, and from a constitution of our own adopting. r They come with their heads full of a division y of property to a country where it is already di s vided in a manner most salutary to the general welfare, by existing laws and institutions, allow ing every man an equal chance, and placing no e artificial obstructions in the way of any. it is a not here that idleness, profligacy and extrava I gance are shielded from their otherwise inevi - table consequences-poverty and contempt r by laws and institutions expressly devised far a that purpose. It is not here that property is s perpetuated for ages in one family, and that e the laboring classes are forever excluded from o their share. But it is here that industry, econo my, prudence and enterprise receive their due rewards, and by being left to themselves, pro duce that general diffusion of comfort, as well as that salutary distribution of property which' n can never be brought about, or at least perpetu s ded by any o her means. d "The socialists, however, who are come and coming among us, either from not comprehend of ing that they have got into a new world alto n gether different from the old, or from a wild and reckless spirit of innovation, are silently mahing an impression on the people of our great cities, n where all the sweepings of the country are n gathered into one great mass of ignorance and y corruption.. They are instilling into them prin F: ciples at war with society, and have attracted the attention of the federal leaders, who begin to nibble at them, and discover evident symp toms of a design to enlist them in their great army of rag-tag and bob-tail, clothed in the 1 many-colored patches of anti-masonry, anti t. mailism, abolitionism, socialism, flourierism, u St. Simonianism, and heaven only knows what I besides. d "In conjunction with these, the abolitionists o will be able to poll votes at a great rate. They will be worth purchasing, at the sacrifice of the church, the state, the laws and constitution. There is no country unde' heaven where fanati cism can find such fuel forits fires as in the Uni ted States, or become so dangerous. We say it with the deepest regret, but it is our firm d belief that if a sect of avowed worshippers of y the evil spirit were to spring out-as is not un e likely-from the red-hot lava of abolitionism, t in sufficient numbers to decide the election of a e president, there are politicians and political y leaders who would, court their support by wor ;r shipping at their shrine." n PERSONAL INDEPESNDNCE.-By personal in dependence, we mean a self-reliant spirit which e leads one to regulate his conduct by the dictates of his own judgment-that sterling quality which distinguishes the man from the mere automaton. Founded on conscious integrity, )e and a strong, determined will, it may be regar ded one of the surest evidences of true manli id ness. Let a man be clothed in the garb of his m own individuality-let him act always in accor dance with an educated sense of duty-let him hold and feel himself directly responsible n for his acts, and lie must deserve, as well as d win, the admiration and respect of his fellows. it Man, it is true, is a social being, and can find h happiness only by communion with his kind, but mentally, each should be for himself-each should think for himself-so that the modified results of action and reaction may be realized. There is, indeed, in personal independence, a d dignity and loftiness which make it an adorning characteristic of manhood and youth. We can d not conceive of a grander spectacle than that afforded by hiin who, amid danger and tempta tion and scorn, calmly and alone pursues the s path of duty, rough though it be, and hedged d in by numerous perils. d But if tZhese remarks are applicable to man, considered as a responsible being, they certain e ly apply, with no less force, to him as a mem ber of the body politic. As the citizen of a republic-as a freeman, it becomes his duty to divest himself of the control of designing dema gogunesand political hucksters. Having the ho d ly privilege of the elective franchise confided to him, he should guard with vestal care against its corruption, and conscious of the grave res e ponsibility to be incured by its abuse, hlie should o go to the ballot-box, not like the grlley-slave of a party or its petty office-holders, but like a frceman, glorying in his individuality. A CAsE IN Porsr.-The Organ says that the - anti-American party in this city, (Washington,) as our readers recollect, made a great uproar for several weeks after the late election, be cause, as they asserted, naturalised citizens were prohibited from voting. We exposed the falsity of this assertion pretty thoroughly at the time, and the result of the investigation order ed by the councils subsequently gave the charge an effectual quietus. And now we have something to record in connexion with this mat ter which is especially worthy of remark. It appears by the iavestigatio' of the joint com - mittee of the councils, on the eligibility and qualification of the officers-elect, that W. Clam pitt, who was elected an assessor Ly the anti Americans of the second ward, is a non-natu ralised foreigner, and, therefore,unqualified for office. Mr. Clampitt aebordingly returns to the ranks of private life. It seems, therefore, that the administration party are so enamored of foreigners, and so determined to place them in office, to the exclusion of native-born Amer icans, that they are unwilling to wait even until they are naturalised before investing them with the power and emolument which office confers. Is such a party entitled to the confidence and respect of native born Americans? (or of natu ralised citizens?) Can such a party reasonable complain if its opponents denominate it the for eign party? According to the N.York Sun adecided step has been taken in the direction of a railroad to the Pacific on the Texas route. It is known the State of Texas gave, with the charter of the Western Texas railroad, the munificent grant of 10,400 acres of land for every mile of the road constructed. This amount of land of great fertility and good general advantages, is suffi ciont of itself to build the road and put in it working order. Under these favorable circum. stances the Western Texas company contracted and signed an agreement in Ohio and Texas, for the construction of-the first section of the road. It runs in the partly settled country be tween the Trinity and Red Rivers, and is to be ready for the rails on or before the first of August next. We have had so many reports in regard to the building of this road, that we hope one of these days to hear of the work having been commenced. There has been a rise in the Alabama river, and it is now in good boating order. They have bad heavy rains and frost through tat Al abama an d Georgia.
