01 1 10 W IIIG CON VENTION.
The Whig Central Committeo of Ohio
liavo isucd a call for the election of dele
gates to the Congressional Convention on the
first Monday of April. The 14th of that
month id recommended na the time of meet
ing; and each convention is to elect a dele
gate and substitute to the National Conven
tion. A mxss State Convention for the no
mination of a Stato ticket and the Presiden
tial electors is to be held after the National
Convention. The committee, in their ad
dress, remark:
"This d ay, four years ago, the ball was set
in motion at Philadelphia that ended in tho
triumph of tho Whig cause in the last Pros-
identhd election. Our prosects areas bright!
now as they were then, if the elements of ;
success bo only properly put iu motion. A
Whig President was elected in '43 w ithout :
the help of Ohio; and in this State we should
learn wisdom in the ensuing contest from the
eondnct of our opponents after the election I
of 1840, who, though beaten as badly then ;
as we were hist October, immediately rallied .
lute men resoivea 10 conquer, anu cameu mo "io, iu it i Muiiusnmiv; w uwm uhjt i-m-Stato
the next year. The full Whig vote of dilation as to the time it will tako a sail
Ohio has never been polled since 1841, and at
no time since have our opponents ever come
up to that voto, but elected their State Ofli
cers by a less vote than they polled in 1844,
when they were beaten nearly 6,000 votes.
Let tho Whigs of Ohio arouse and bring to
the mills thc'20,000 voters that have absent
ed themselves of late years, and Ohio will a
gaiii resume her position iu tho victorious
Whig column in 1852."
Clergymen and Fanatics. A sharp cor
respondent, writing to tho Journal of Com
merce on the Temperance question and its
clerical leaders, utters the following truths :
"In almost all cases where clergymen take
an active part in matters of this kind, they
become fanatical, and call it religion. Religion
means anything or nothing, but piety is Godli
nes. For example, Charles the Fifth was
called religious; ho fought fifty battles for
religion. Cardinal Ximenes, Inquisitor Gen
eral of Spain, was called very religious; he,
during his administration, murdered 100,000
human beings, because they did not believe
iu the idolatry of Rome. That great rascal
tho Duke of Alva, when Viceroy of Flanders,
was also religious; and Leo tho Tenth was
mighty religions when ho directed Cajiton,
his legate of Germany, to sell indulgences.
I have conversed with many of the true
friends of temperance, and they sincerely
regret this Jesuitical, fanatical, pilitical nieas
.ure. They are fearful that it will injure the
cause of temperanco in tho same way that
Abolition fanatics did the cause of slave
emancipation."
The following we copy from tho Nashville
.American:
"'Who Killed Cock Ronms?' Notwith
standing the passage of the free banking bill,
a villanous brood of stock banks came very
jioar being inflicted upon tho Senate yester
day. The bill had passed the House char
iteriirgthreo banks. It passed the Senate
villi amendments chartering three more.
After a spicy debato in the House upon tho
Senate message transmitting the bill and
.amendments, thev wero made tho special
.order for tho 3d day of July next
"To Col. Woodard, of Robertson county,
lielongs the honor of having killed tho mon
ster. Ho fought it inch by inch, with ad
mirable tact and skill and dexerves the thanks
of the pecple oT (lie Stato for the effort
Whig as ho is, his merit is greatly increased
J'ur this act, and wo do Jiim all honor for it."
Another Railway. Tho people in
Northern Ohio have resolved to have a rail
way from Cleveland by Chagrin Falls, War
ren and Canlield, to Enon, on the Pennsyl
vania and Ohio road. Upwards of $300,000
of stuck has been subscribed. TJie ladies of
Chagrin Falls have taken sinne 2500 in
atingfe shares a "leap year" movement that
cvincus an energy not to be intimidated by
ordinary obstacles.
The New York Correspondent of the
Plriladclph'm North American says:
"Simeon Draper, Esq., wade the naiidsoim;
sum of $20,000 by his recent purchase and
sale of tho lots in Astor Place. Mr. Draper,
3ias it is stated, given away more than this
amount within tho last five years."
The same correspondent remarks;
"Messrs. Jacob, Little & Co., tho well
known and highly respected Wall street op
erators have realized, it is said, some $250,
000 by tho riso in stocks,, and other lucky
changes, within tho last three months. Del
aware and Hudson, of which Messrs. Little
& Co., held an enormous amount, has recent
ly advanced twenty five per cent"
AW. how unreasonable as well as unjiisla

The Cubah Prisoners. Another Letter
The last llayneville (Ala.) WaUiaian con
tains tho following letter from young Pruitt,
of Lowndes county, in this State :
Vi-.o, Spain, Jan. 10, 1S52.
Dear Brother: The English steamer being
dne here today from Cadiz, on her way to
Southampton, I tike advantage of the op
portunity thus afforded to write home. I
have no news that will interest you, save
that I am in good Iiealth and will embark for
New York sometime between this and the 1st
of February, and hope to be able to see you
by the 1st of April.
AH tho American prisoners concerned in
the invasion of Cuba, amounting to about
ninety in number, are quartered in tins city,
and have been comfortably provided for by
the American Consul.
It is almost an impossibility for one to
write when fifty or sixty persons are around
him engaged in making all kinds of noise. I
have much to tell you, but you must wait
patiently for my arrival. In the meantime,
do not be uneiey if yon should not receive
any further news from me, or I should fail to
make my appearance at tho time you expect,
for it is hardly probablo that I will write you
vessel to cross the Atlantic.
I return to mv native land a dearer lover of
its soil and institutions than ever, for I have
seen what I shall never wish to see again,
the heavily-taxed, down-trodden, half starved
poor of Europe, a people more to bo pitied
than our slaves.
Hoping that this will find you all well,
and that ere tho lapse of many months we
will meet around tho old family hearth,
endeared to us all by a thousand associations,
I remain your brother,
JOHN T. ritUITT.
Mr. S. L. Pruitt.
Perfectionism and Bloomerism. There
is a society of people, we learn from the Cin
cinnati Enquirer, numbering some ono hun
dred and fifty persons, in tho counties of
Oneida and Madison, New York, who have
adopted a code ot social morals to suit their
own notions, and as their code differs very
w idely from w hat society about them regards
as even decent, of course their doings are not
devoid of interest. They are represented by
the Rochester Democrat as holding every
thing in common, lands and tenements, cattle
ami horses, women and children ! They are
even ahead of Mormonism, for tho whole
family of one hundred and fifty persons pile
up m the same shiglo big room. Tho women
wear their hair short, and their dresses short,
too, after the bloomer skirt and breeches
fashion. Tho prominent featuro of the
"Perfection." Society is yet to be stated,
they all hold to the "scriptural propriety and
moral purity of promiscuous iiitcrcourscamong
the sexes .'"
This is the most notablo of all tho modern
isms I
Man's Weak Part. In the course of a
book lately published at New York, entitled
the "Reveries of an Old Maid," wo are told
that tho weapons to subdue man aro not to
be found in the library, but in the kitchen !
"Tho weakest part of tho alligator is his
stomach. Man is an alligator. 1-et the
young wife fascinate her husband with the
teapot! Let her, so to speak, only bring
him into habite of intoxication with that
sweet charmer, nnd make honeysuckles clam
ber up in his chair back and grow about tho
legs of his table let the hearth rug be a bed
of heart's case for the feet in slippers, and the
wickedness of tho natural pnemy must die
within him." What excellent wives somo of
these old maids who write books would
make!
The papers are full of the details of the
attempt to nssassinate the Queen of Spain.
While leaving church with her infant in her
arms, a Jesuit priest while kneeling, affecting
to present a petition to the Queen, struck at
her with a poinard; but owing to tho whale
bones in her stays, the force of the blow was
divided, and its force broken. The weapon
consequently entered below the last rib in
flicting a trivial wound. The villain was ar
rested and proved to bo a rascal of the deep,
est dye. A dispatch from Madrid announces
his execution.
Jackson in the other World. Tho rap
ping or tipping spirits (we believe tipping is
now the phrase) have revealed to eomo "o.ir
cle" of believers out West, that General
Jackson is in tho fourth sphero of spiritual
existence, there being an indefinite number
beyond. The St Louis Organ says that an
old Jackson man on hearing this, at once
pronounced the whole thing a humbug. Ho
said Old Hickory wouldn't have staid till this
time in tho fourth fephere he'd have whipped
Ins way to the top ot the ladder.
Mrs. Partington, in looking over tlio Price
Current lately, came to the article of Molas
ses, and exclaimed: "Seventy-fivo cents per
cral Why Mess nie. What is the wor d
coming to, when the gals aro valued nt only
seventy-five cents! I ho old lady pulled oil
her spectacles, threw down her paper and
went into a Drown study on tho want ot a
proper appreciation of tho truo value of "tho

New Method or Amputating Limbs.
Sonic operations have been performed lately
at Vienna, by means of platina wire heated
red hot, which has been found to sever the
flesh with as much ease and celerity as a knife.
One great advantage offered by this method
is tho very slight effusion of blood caused by
tho wire as n dividing instrument.
Stumnno too Far. One of tho best jokes
of the season is the statement that one of the
candidates for Governor in New Hampshire,
who is "stumping tho State," got some thirty
miles into Canada, making speeches to the
k'nucks, before ho knew ho was out of his
own "bailiwick."
Kentucky and the Presidency Louis
ville Feb. 15, 1853. Tho Whig, citizens of
Paducah, and several of tho adjoining coun
ties, in general convention on Wednesday
lust, adopted resolutions declaring the senti-

John J. Crittenden as tho Whig Candidate
for the Presidency. Tho Convention was at
tended by nearly 400 dolcgatos.

K known. Wood burns because it has the
proper stuff for that purpose in it; and a man
becomes renowned because he has the neces
sary stuff in hint. Renown is not to be sought,
ana all pursuit of it is vain. A person may,
indeed, by skilful conduct and various urtiii

but if the inner jewel is wanting, all is vanity,

The Bowels of an Attorney General. Mr.
Erskine, when a counsel in the Court of King's
bench, told Mr. Jckyll, "that ho had a pain in
the bowels, for which lie could get no relief."
'Til give you nn infallible specific," replied
the humorous barrister; "get made attorney
general, my friend, and then you'll have no
bowels at all."
Corn which is intended for tho market,
should not be shelled until near tho time of
sending it away; it should then be thoroughly
dry, and carefully fanned from chiitf nnd par
ticles of coli, because these substances are fre
quently the origin of heat in shelled corn,
from the fact of their being more Bubject to
decay than the corn itself.
Mrs. Oumy says she don't know what they

A genius Down East has invented a new

In all divorce trials the jury should bo com
