Some days since, Corporal “Mum” of tie Con stitutionalist, retired upon his dignity, and gave notice that he should take no larthcr notice of us, except misrepresentation. In our paper we charged him with supporting a man for Presi dent, who had opposed the admission of Missouri, unless slavery was prohibited, and who voted in the Convention of New York, to permit negroes to vote at the polls, in all elections. He has not noticed it, and thereby admits that he is supporting for President Martin Van Buren -•’Who has been guilty of these charges. What think you, people of Georgia, of voting for a President who his friends admitted gave a vote that negroes should enjoy equal privileges with white men in the election of all officers ? Are you prepared to elevate such a man to the chief Executive office ? Louisiana Election. The New Orleans Bee of the 15th says;—A let ter has beon received by a commercial house in New which the returns aie given from the three parishes of Concordia, Carroll and Madi son, in the third District. Those from the two first we have already published. In Madison, Winn’s (L. F.) majority is but four votes. This leaves Moore (W.) sixty-four majority in the three parishes “Mid three hundred and ten votes in ad vance of his competitor. This result isfarmoie favorable than the whigs expected. It was gener ally conceded that the loco foco majorities in Car roll would balance the whig majority in Concor dia, instead of which Moore has sixty-four majori ty in the three parishes. Lowry, Whig, is elected to the house, and Sparrow, (Whig,) to the senate ; the first by thirty-four majority, the second by one hundred and seventy-eight. We have, so fan therefore, a clear majority of four in the house over both the loco focos and the conservatives. Speaking of losses and gains, the same paper says:—“ The Locofoco federalists are welcome to #ll they have gained in the second district. That district gave Dawson 800 majority, when a candi date for Governor, and 750 to Van Buren, at tha last Presidential election-. True, Chinn, (Whig,) was elected from the district in 1838, but the Loco focos themselves stated that the election was no test of principle, as Lawson, the opposition candi date was unpopular and destitute of talent. Daw son is now elected by 13 majority, and he is the most popular man in the district.” Resumption of Specie Payments.—The Charleston Courier of yesterday says: The sus- Banks of this city, viz: Planters’and Me >-chanics’, South Western Rail Road, South Car olina, State, and Union Banks, resumed specie payments on Saturday last. The Charleston Bank, and Bank of the State, not having suspen ded, we can now announce that all the Banking Institutions of Cha leston redeem their bills in specie on demand. The immediate consequences of this proceeding was a reduction of the rate of Northern Exchange. Bills on New-York are 2 per cent premium. Appointments by the President, e By and with the advice and consent of the Senate. RECEIVERS GENERAL. Stephen Allen, at the city of New'York, in the Slate of New York. Isaac Hill, at the city of Boston, in the State of Massachusetts. Joseph Johnson, at the city of Charleston, in the Stale of South Carolina. George Penn, at the city of St. Louis, in the State of Missouri. Henry Deas, Collector of the Customs at Charleston, South Carolina, vice James R. Prin gle, resigned. Benj. D. Heriot, to be Navy Agent for the P irt of Charleston, South Carolina, for four years from the 4th day of October, 1840, when his pre sent commission will expire. “There is but a slight difference in morality, be tween forging a letter or extract, and republish ing one knowing it to be a forgery .” —Globe. Such, it*‘would seem, was the opinion of Messrs. Boyd, Steenrod, Bynum & Co., when they forged the letter ot Mr. W. B. Calhoun ? For the Chronicle and Sentinel. Mb. Editor —For many years I have been an observer of the progress of political events, and am now, not an uninterested spectator of the parts which many men have played, and arc now playing in Georgia. Although, a retrospect in the political history of most men furnishes gene rally, but little upon which the actors themselves can dwell with pleasure ; nevertheless, it may not be unprofitable, occasionally' to take such a review of past events. It is true, sir, I might carry you and your readers back to the memorable days of 1825, when Troup was the chief itar on the Geor gia boards, and chronicle events of paramount im portance up to the present day, by which many, very many of those who now cater for the public approbation would be associated with strange bed fellows, but such a retrospect would consume too much space. It is, therefore, proposed to go back only to the proceedings of the Legislature of Geor gia in 1836, and glance for a moment at the pro ceedings of the Senate, ahd to point out the votes of some few individuals, who are now acting conspi cuous parts in the great contest which is agitating the public mind. It is proper to remark that this retrospect is made in no unkind feelings to those whose votes may be exhibited, it is the sole Object of the writer to carry these individuals back to that period, and refresh their recollections upon their votes at that day, under the hope that they r may recur to the reasons which operated to in fluence those votes, and let them determine whe ther the same reasons should not now influence their actions. Your readers are well aware, sir, that in 1836 Georgia gave her vote to Hugh L. White for Presi dent, and John Tyler for Vice President, in oppo sition to Martin Van Buren and R. M. Johnson. It is not to be denied, sir, that this vote was given by' the almost unanimous vole of the State Rights party', in connection with a portion of the Union party, who were unwilling to support Mr. Van Buren and Col. Johnson. The majority was over whelming, astonishing in its results the suppoiters of both candidates. Soon after this result was known in Milledge ville, where the Legislatuie was then in Mr. McAllister, on the 19th day of November, introduced into the Senate a Preamble and Reso lutions, which may be found on page 73 of the Journal, which I desire to form a part of this com munication. It is not my purpose to speak of the character of these resolutions, or the indirect at tempt of that poition of the Senate, who profess to be the conservators of democracy', to thwart the expressed will of the people, as ascertained through the ballot box, in opposition to Martin Van Buren. Such a discussion is not my object. The Preamble and Resolutions, as introduced by r Mr. McAllister, are in the so ’owing language; Mr. McAllister laid the following resolution on the table : Whereas, The election of President of the Uni ted States may be transferred from its legitimate tribunal, the people, to the House of Representa tives, and whereas the elevation of Witt. Henry Harrison to the Presidency, is an event to be de recated by eveiy republican, and if consummated, to be deplored by every Southern man ; and where as, the question of his elevation has never been submitted to the people of Georgia, and it is be lieved if the same were submitted, it \voj)d be an swered by a decided negative; and whereas, al though a majority of Lie people of this State have given their suffrages in favor of the Hon. Hugh L. White, such suffrages were not given with a view to tlie elevation of William Henry Harrison. Resolved, by the Suuate and House of R„pres~n tatives of the Slate of Georgia, in General Assem bly met. That in case the election of President of the United States, shall devolve upon the House of Representatives, that our Representatives in that body be, and they are heieby requested in no event to vote for William Henry Harrison. Be it further Resolved, That our Representa tives in Congress be requested not to urge the claims of the Hon. Hugh L. White in that body, if by so doing the election of William Henry Har rison is to be effected. To copy the various amendments which were proposed, and the votes given thereon, would con sume too much of your space, and probably ex haust the patience of your readers,! will therefore pass at once to the final and direct vote on the re solutions themselves, taken sepelately. On the motion to agree to the first resolution, the yeas and nays were ordered and were, yeas 59, nays 21. Among those who voted in the negative, I find recorded the names of Benjamin Green, of Scriv en, and Alexander J. Lawson, of Burke. On the motion to agree to the second resolution, the yeas and nays were ordered, and were, yeas 48, nays 38. Among those who voted in the ne gative, I find the names of Benjamin Green, of Scriven, Irby Hudson, of Putnam, and Alexan der J. Lawson, of Burke. These votes, sir, exhibit the opinions and views of these gentlemen in 1836. Messrs. Green and Lawson, by their vote in the negative on the first resolution, voted against requesting our members of Congress not to vote for William Henry Harri son. Thereby showing that they were in favor of having the vote given to General Harrison rather than Mr, Van Buren. Their votes on the second resolution, as well as Mr. Hudsons, show that they were in favor of requesting the members of Con gress to adhere to the support of Judge White, even vhough such a course might cause the elevation of General Harrison. Those gentlemen had no doubt good and suffi cient reasons for the votes they then gave, and those reasons influenced them to elevate General Harrison raiher than Mr. Van Buren. Ihe same candidates are now before the people for the same office. May not the same reasons which then operated upon their minds, again influence their actions, and produce the same result ? Such an inference appears to the writer not only reasonable but just. General Harrison and Mr. Van Buren entertain the same opinions they then did. What could have operated upon the minds of Messrs. Hud son and Lawson, to place them naw in the support of Mr. Van Buren ? Let them explain satisfac torily their present position, and they may relieve themselves from an apparent inconsistency'. A Looker On. From the Louisville Journal. What a noise the locofoco press is making a bout “federalism.” The Advertiser of yesler dty has a deal of puerile nonsense about “black cockades.” Truly the party must feel itself hard run for charges agab st General Harrison, when its editors take so much pains to prove that Harrison, whiLt a young man, wore his military cockade in his hat, and, that it was a black one, too, just like his hat! We do not care a s.raw, whether Harri son ever wore a cockade in his hat or not,oi what the color may have been if he woie one. It has been proved, by the most unquestionable testimo ny that he was in tne confidence ot the Republi can party, from the time he was first elected to Congress, when not a single federalist voted for him—that he enjoyed the confidence ot Washing ton, Jefferson, Madison and Momoe; and this is enough for us. The locofoco editors may d grade themselves and their paity by publishing the certificaies and alljdavits of degraded men, as long as they please ; they never can persuade any man of sense, that Harrison was ever aught else ihan the warm friend of h s country —and we all know that the repub 1 can party was his friend. Such s wealing fellows as Bob Price, wlioeo affidavit is ciled in yesterday’s Adveniscr, will be believed just about as soon as that other infamous and perjured scoundrel, Israel Brown, who was so handy at the book at Cincinnati. Nobody believes those ready-making affidavit folks. Shame that such vagabonds should be hunted up and brought to mock Heaven in this way. Henry Daniel, we see, has published a certificate from poor old John Fowler, who is now upwards of eighty years oFd, and has not been sober, from the best accounts, for ten years He once ha i some respectability, but, since be pleaded the gambling act in the general court of this State, without a sol itary circumstance to excuse him, no respectable man has had the slightest regard for him. What a pity that Mr. Daniel cannot have some more hon orable duty assigned him in the new camp, than the procurement ot certificates from such misera ble old creatures ! Mr. Preston’s Question. Some short time since in the Senate, Mr. Clay of Alabama, replied to a speech made by Mr. Preston in opposition t» the Standing Army Bill. Mr. Clay having been excessively laudatory of Mr. \an Buren and denunciatory of Gen Harrison, and having proffered to answer any question that Mr. Preston might see fit to propose, was catechised by the Soutn Carolinian somewhat after the following fashion: You are a supporter of Martin Van Buren, do you approve his instructions to ilufus King to vote against the admission of Missouri into the Union with the right of holding slaves? NO, replied Mr. Alabama Clay. Does the Senator from Alabama approve of Mr. Van Buren’s support of De Witt Clinton, the peace candidate, against James Madison,'the war candi date? NO. Does he approve of Mr. Van Buren’s vote in re ference to the toll gates upon the Cumberland road, and his action generally, while in Congress in re ference to internal improvements? NO. Does he approve of Mr. Van Buren’s votes in favor of the tariffs of 1824 and 1828? NO. How then do you support Mr. Van Buren. when you denounce every act of his public life? Mr. Clay answered that Mr. Van Buren was now sound upon these subjects. ’’’How know you that, said Mr. Preston, and is it not as proper for me to try and judge Mr. Van Bu ren by his past acts, as it is in you to try General Harrison for acts of 20, 30 and 40 years ago? To this Mr. Alabama Clay made no answer, and was as dumb as an oyster! New Issues of the Government Bank. —The New York Courier says— “ There were yesterday ciiculaiing in Wall street, Treasury Notes of s he denomination of SSO, payable a twelve month hence, and bearing an in teiest of two per cent. Here is an irredeemable paper currency fer ordinary transactions of busi ness. These notes are issued as a circulating me dium. They are the new issues ol the great Gov ernment Bank, of which Martin Van Buren is President, Levi Woodbury, Cashier, with Amos KenJall and F. P. Blair, for Directors.—Here is an issue of ure-lecmable post notes, by the Govern ment of the United States. This is the end of the experiment, (or which we have gone through ten years of suffering and disasters. “No Changes.” —ln yesterday’s paper we gave “ the documents” showing that in a single township of Jefferson county, Ohio, there were seventy-six known and ascertained changes against the present Administration. Fifty-nine of these were indeed public renunciations; and the remaining seven teen w ere not so, only from an apprehension of in jury to .ie business of the parties, in case they should bear public testimony against Van Bureu ism. To-day, we observe in Ihe Cleveland Herald, as copied fiorn the last Han i on Banner, a card, signed by thirty-three “ former supporters of the Ad ministrations of Andrew Jackson and Martin Van Buren,” in which they say that the policy of Mr. Van Bu.cn in regard to fiscal matters, is ruinous lo the interests of Mechanics and farmers, and they' declare their firm resolve to support W. H. Harri son for the next Presidency. The renunciation of the thirty-three Buckeyes of Licking county, is dated, New Ark, July 1,1810. The same paper hac six other public renunciations of Van Burenism, by as many good men and true of the vicinity. Thus, we have seventy-six, yesterday, and thiity nine,to-day. And yet, the cry of the spoileis is, “there are no changes.” We like this sort of no change! It is just the thing, to produce just the result intended and determined on by the people, namely, a thorough “ change" in the adminisi ra tion of public affairs.— Baltimore Patriot of the loth. The Storm at Philadelphia. —The Philadel phia papers furnish the following account of the storm in that city, on Monday the 13th. A man named William Hamilton, agedso years, was killed by lightning, he had taken shelter in a chimney in a vacant lot, on Prime stieet, opposite Irish Tract Lane, which chimney was struck and the deceased killed ; when found his clothes were nearly all torn from his body. A house near Cam den was struck by lightning, the fluid killed a lady named Feiuour, and injuring some others. It is said that a lady by the name of Russel was instant ly killed at Kaign’s Point by the lightning, and that she had an infant in her arms which escaped unhurt. A house in Fetterville, below Camden, was struck about one o’clock, and a female, one of a party from the city, who had sought shelter there, was killed and several other persons injured. So far as concerns the city property the damage was very limited, and we have heard of no loss of life. Some of the new stores recently erected on the site of the great fire, had the metallic covering of their roofs lorn off or rolled up. The Ridgeway House, on the north side of Market street also sus tained some damage. The barque Ann Reynolds, from Boston, had just anchored above Chestnut street wharf, and furled her sails, when she was struck with great violence, and drove stein foremost against the wharf, carrying away her rudder and mjuring her stern ; she was then as suddenly forced back into the stream. The captain was thrown down and stunned for a moment. A market sloop lost her mast and bowsprit and had her sails tom to pieces. The steamboat Delaware had her smoke pipe whirled up into the air, her awnings torn to shreds, and some part of her upper works injured. During the whirlwind the water in the river was forced up for a minute or two to a great height, and present ed the appearance of volumes of spray. The greatest expedition ever accomplish ed between Charleston and Philadelphia.— The steam boat Georgia, Capt. Coffey, belonging to the line running in connection wbh the Portsmouth and Roanoke railroad Company, delivered her pas sengers in Baltimore yesterday, at a quarter past three o’clock, P. M. Such as availed themselves of the afternoon train of cars for Philadelphia, will have artived there : n less than 54 hours from Charleston, a distance of li tie less than 700 miles — 17 hours in advance of the Great Southern Mail. — Balt. American \6th insl. Carrying the Mail through the air. —Mr. Davidson, the projector of the plan for carrying the mail through the air, has written a letter to a friend in St. Louis, in winch lie mourns over the neglect of Congress, Out says he is not, however, dashed by his disappointments. Indifference and opposition, he adds, “ do not move me from my steadfast deteiminalion to carry out my plan, and finally mount upon the wing of time and sail down the current of posterity with a glorious immortali ty.” That’s poetical, any how. More Neutrals coming. —The Pittsburg Vis iter, which has hitherto been neutral in its political views, has hoisted the flag of Harrison and De mocracy. We learn from the Princeton Whig that the New Jersey State Central Committee are making prepara!ions to receive the legally elected Repre sentatives to Congress from that Slate (but wh« were excluded from their rightful seats in the councils of the nation) with proper demonstra tions of feeling, on their return from Washington. It is proposed to receive them on the battle ground at Trenton, on the 22d inst., together with ' such of the Whig Members of Congress as may * accompany them on their way home. Congress. The National Intelligencer of the 17lh, says: Tuesday next, our readers will recollect, is the jday which has been agreed upon by both Houses of Congress for the termination of the present ses sion. We do not see, looking at the present state of the business before Congress, how it is possi ble that that determination can be adheted to ; though, to say the truth, if the session were to be prolonged until the constitutional day of opening the second session of this Congress, (Ist Decem ber next,) we doubt whether the two Houses would be much belter prepared to adjourn than they are at the present moment. Yesterday, in the House of Representatives, a complete stop was put to all current business, ap propriation bills and ail, by a report from the Committee of Elections, after six months’ delib eration, declaring all the individuals now sifting as Representatives from the State of New Jer sey to be entitled to their, stats. A counter-re port, from the minority of the committee, declares that, to the five contested seats, three of the Whigs and two of the Administration claimants are entitled. It is the solemn conviction, we un derstand, of at least a part of the minority of the comm ttee, that all Jive of the Whig candidates, as lawfully returned, are legally entitled by elec tion to the seats, could evidence be arrived at to place the facts in their true light. The reading of this report, and of a part of the report of the minority, at the Clerk’s table, brought the House to the hour of recess, the Administration party having forced this subject upon the House, by re versing established usage, to the exclusion, for the time, of all others. With this fresh impedi ment to the transaction of business, how can the House of Representatives get through, by Tuesday, with even the indispensable business before it 1 Os the business most indispensable to be done before the adjournment, not a syllable has yet been lisped in either House. An application from the Treasury, for additional Ways and Means to the amount of four or five millions of dollars, (not much more than half the necessary amount, by the way,) has been before the financial committees ot both Houses, in some form or other, for some days, if not weeks, and yet nothing is proposed. The Army and Indian appropriation bills are still in Committee of the Whole in the House of Rep resentatives. The money-bill to enable the Treas ury to meet these appropriations has not been btought up at all. How can Congress adjourn on Tuesday next ? That is what puzzles us, and will, wc think, puzzle the Members of both Houses. Hon. John Rowan. Our Kentucky friends seem disposed to take away from the Loco-Fucos every one of the ‘se ver. men in buckram suits’ they have been so ex ultingly parading in their newspapers as converts to Van Burenism. It seems that Judge Rowan is more of aeon .-ert to Harrison than Van Buren. A correspondent of the Baltimore Patriot writes from Kentucky as follows ; “In riding in a stage through Kentucky, it was my good fortune to meet Judge John Rowan, a Senator in the United States Senate during Gen. Jackson s first term ; and for conversational pow eis, he exceeds any man with whom I have ever met—not only able, but willing to entertain his companions. In the course of conversation po litics were introduced, and he said, in extenua tion of some remark he was about to make in defence of some charge urged against the Admin istration, that although he had not voted for seven years, if he did vote this fall, he should certainly vote for Gen. Harrison. I mention this because it is an expression of his opinion since his ap pointment, in conjunction with Gov. Marcy of New York, as a conferee to settle the difficulties with Mexico—Judge Rowan and his son have both been looked upon as opposed to the Whigs.” —Log Cabin. Extract from Mr. Bond’s speech in Con gress.—“ Let us, then, take the amount of loss in cident to the use of State Banks, as depositories for the public money, so far as the same is found on the books of the Treasury, and fully reported by Mr. Woodbury, in December, 1834. And what is it ? It was then reported to be, from the origin of the Government, in 1789, to the 10th Novem ber. 1834, $1,157,890 85. And, in his report of the 9th December, 1839, he states that nearly $300,000 of that sum has been paid, so that the actual loss of principal is less than nine hundred thousand dollars. Now compare that loss with the amount of loss sustained by Government in the use of individual agencies during the same period, as reported oy Mr. Woodbury. By his report of the 9lh of December, 1839, he states the following losses to the Government through individual agen cies, in collecting and disbursing the public reve nue, from the 4th of March, 1789, to the 4th of March, 1837, viz: Losses by Collectors of the customs, $1,197,979 91 Ditto ditto internal revenue, &c. 442,265 76 Ditto by receivers of land sales, 397,304 14 Total losses by collecting officers, $2,033,549 84 Losses by disbursing officers, viz : In civil departments, $398,023 59 In military and naval do. 4,058,549 97 Total losses by disbursing officers, $4,956,549 97 To these I will add the loss by S. Swartwout < ollector at New York, 1,225,000 00 And the supposed loss by Price, District Attorney, 50,000 CO And the total loss by individual agents is $8,270,123 39 Amount of los; by Banks, accord ing to Mr. Woodbury’s report, 12th December, 1834,giving the credit of $300,000 recently reported by him, $857,890 85 Difference, $7,412,232 52 It thus appears that the Government has actual ly lost $7,412,232 52, more by individual than by bank agency! And if you add the losses by the Government on individual bonds for the public rev enue, stated by Mr. Woodbury in his late annual report on the finances at $7,500,000, it will appear that the total loss sustained by the Government, in individual agency and credit, exceeds the by banks, $14,900,000. The Globe publishes a letter with sundry names subscribed, certifying that the “Buckeye Black smith” is a very bad character indeed. We have seen, certainly, a certificate numer | ously signed, slating that a catfish was caught in the Missouii river, which, being too strong for the engine, carried the steamboat down stream. We have also seen five honorable members of Congress write out a letter, forge W. B. Cal houn’s name to it, and certify it to be a faithful copy of the original. When we see a Federal certificate, wc forthwith look out for a “whop per.” The Globe boasts that the subscribers for the extra vulgarity and falsehoods of the ex-Postmas ter General come in by “thousands.” We are not informed however, how many of the thou sands are paid for by the subordinates of the cab inet, and the hirelings of the post-office and cus tom-house, as these officers were respectfully des ignated by Jackson and Kendall. That the na tional treasury, directly or indirectly is nearly the sole support of the weekly Globe, is not yet deni ed by the worthy edito.s, although the charge has been distinctly made and the counts specified. It should prove to the wings the necessity of ear nest and constant exertions in support of their cause in every part of the country. They are working against mighty influences all brought to hear upon the re-election of Van Buren. Every tederal officer whom he dares tax, is assessed, and pays a stipend out of his salary. Every post office is an agency for the special distribution of tbe-Globe, which is carried free of charge from Maine to Louisiana. These, we repeat, are not mere assertions;—they are susceptible of proof and have been substantiated, in spite ot the cau tiousness of the party managers, sufficiently to command ready credence. Popular therefore as Harrison may be, sound as are the principles of the people who sustain his nomination, any re laxation of their efforts would be to the last de gree impolitic. There should be no repose in any quarter, where honorable appeals to the common intelligence and interest can secure the aid ot a single vote. —Nat. Gaz. New' Exhibition. Croat Allegorical Pic ture Scene. Pennsylvania Avenue, 10 o’clock, A. M. [Showman Speaks.]— Ladies and Gentlemen, and you my sweet little children, who look so pretty and interesting. Here is a new pictur painted by my purticular friend, Mr. Corwin, of Ohio. The box, ladies and gentlemen, in which this pictur is contained, is of Buckeye, from the North Bend , and was manufactured by my pur ticular friend, Gineral Harrison, with his own hands. [Plese gentlemen dont tread on the little children —there now my little dears, wait and you shall see presently.] There now sir, look direct ly through the glass. Exhibition only a penny a piece, ladies and gentlemen. Proceeds for the blind—explanations gratis. “ Why I cant see any thing,” exclaims a most respectable looking old gentleman, in Kentucky jeans, with a whip under his arm. ‘‘No wonder sir, you have your spectacles on! Pray take them off sir.” You know, sir, you can’t hear the Be /ifyou put your fingers in your ears, sir, eh ' —There now, sir, look straight be fore you—observe sir, there is an elewated plain in the middle of the pictur, surmounting a preci pice—at the foot of the precipice is a map of the United States, taken from the life:—the land offi ces, and custom houses scattered about are all from natur, so is the '‘stagnant pools” in front of them. Now, gentlemen and ladies, look on thceleivn ted plain and you will seethe “Capitolof the U. Stales.” a splendid buildin, admired by all furri nere. pilrticlarly Gen. Jackson, who was an Irishman. Now, sir, look to the right of the Capitol. There you see is a fine buildin, also—but it’s a falling down. That too, is from the life. It’s the post office department. You see, ladies and gentle men, its altogether broke down by the weight of the Extra Globes, which is fullin in great num bers from the doors and windows. The gentleman what is going up the steps, his name is Niles —he is from Connecticut. The likeness is perfict. He has a bunch of ingons in his coal pocket, which is altogether allegorical, and no disrespect. He loves molasses; but that couldn’t be put in the pictur. I3ut a judicious observer will plainly perceive that he don’t drii.k cider. Now, ladies and gentlemen, look to the left of this wenderful pictur, just on the brow of the precipice what overlooks the map of the United States. The man what is stooping over the pre cipice with his hands on his knees, is womiting free'.v over the map. This is the most striking Jigur in the wholeyffcfwr. That, ladies and gen tlemen, is lhe“ Heaven-Born.” He is doing his best to flood Pennsylvania and Virginia with Ex tra Globes, which you observe, is cast up freely in a beautiful wornit of political enthusiasm. Remember, ladies and gentlemen, this is altogeth er allegorical, as you will plainly perceive by the subscription list of finy thousand subscribers, in Mr. Kendell’s coat pocket. It’s a piece of sick ness altogether woluntary and disinterested. Now you would say this figur must certainly fall over the precipice. Put here the skill of the ar tist is apparent. The wait of the subscription list preserves his equilibrium. The Jigur what stands up by the womiting in diwidual, with a beautiful little bald head, and whiskers, and looks so much like a cross of a fox and a furriner —who do you think that is, la dies and gentlemen] Why that is the Presi dent. He is usin of the following language, as you plainly perceive by the expression of his countenance, which is so smihn and benevolent. “Go it Amos my boy. 1 think you have done enough for Pennsylvania: suppose now you turn a spell to South Carolina.” The next Jigur, gentlemen—that solemn look i ing man who seems to be “in a crisis that has his hair like the fretful ghost of Hamlet’s porcu pine, is but I need’l te 1 you his name. The likeness speaks for itself. His hands is raised up, and you can plainly perceive that he is ex i claiming, “Spare Fort Hill!” That long pole which this figur leans upon, and which is manifestly a breaking, unbeknow ing to the Jigur —once had a flag on it, which * you plainly perceive, he is Using for pocket hen kerchief, and is a lending part of it to Mr. Ken dall to wipe his mouth with. As this circum stance is a matter of history, ladies nnd gentle men, I hope you will excuse me for mentioning it. This Jigur at the early age of four years and six months exactly, swallowed, by accident, a copy t of Hume’s Essay on the miracles —hence, la dies and gentlemen, he turns somersitsby nature, and is fond of metaphysics and speculation of an obtuse and distracted charizter. Now, ladies and gentleman, just look in the rear of this extraordinary Jigur and you will observe a Colored Gentleman. His name is Mumbo Jumbo. He is of Moorish distraction, and is supposed to be descended in a straight line from Timour the Tartar, who conquered South America and abolished imprisonment for debt among the Arabs. He got his liberty in a gale of wind in Bermuda, and is hired as a body servant by ih e Jigur before him. I need’nt tell you that he is a usin of the following words: “I tell you what it is Mas John, if Mr. Kindle dont break down his constitution at dat work, da's no virtue in a womit. His eyes seems to be sot now /” He is the most intelligent nigger in the United States, as you plainly perceive by the length of his heels, and the beautiful curvit ure ol the femurae, fibulary and tibilary bones, as the doctors say. The gentlemen on the right of the womiting indiwidual, with a couple of botties of hard cider under his arms, is supposed to owe the extraordi nary ugliness of his fealurs to the eating of 100 many green apples when ;i school boy, which caused the Colera.as the doctors say to superwene, which gradually ascended from the abdomenel to the maxillary and occipetal regions. Hence - the painful expression of his featurs, and his extraordinary dislike of hard cider, which in the picture he holds, by command of our President, on account of its extraordinary effect on Mr. Kindle. You can plainly perceive that this fig ure is saying, “ Democrats of America, this STUFF WILL KILL YOUU AmOS !” Ju-it behind the President is a perfect gentle man, but the judicious student of character will plainly perceive, that he don’t like some of the * company. He’s from Georgy. He’d give a whole crop of his yallow cotton to have this pic ■ tier cut into small pieces. He is sayin to the President as follows—“ Martin, Martin, if you don’t stop this dirty work, I’m done WITH THE PARTY. The HeaVEN Born’s A Humbug, and his bottle holder is no bet ter.” Now, ladies and gentlemen, I’ll wenture my icaluable reputation as a critic, that you hain’t observed the most interesting figur in the pictur. Just look in front of “the Crisis.” There you see is a figur settin bolt upright before him, and looking a perfect thunder storm of patriotic sus picion his legs you see is triangularly stuck straight out before him, so that Mumbo Jumbo and his master is fixed like a shad in a fish trap, i his you must admit is a conception worthy of an a i list worthy of Nicholas Poison, so called . * n Trench, from the elegance of his fishes. The Ball and tho Sponge which th's figur embraces is from the life. Without being , should say from his looks hewasaffi 'Hi “Crisis you're a willian, and so ~ l? ir i I Jumbo—move and PH expunge you." I Now ladies and gentlemen, look tothe • the Capitol.

In one of my actus h tomed rambles through the city, in search of im» cent amusement, I have recently noticed a saw n ite chaiacter, whose virtues have not as vet bee; c fully portrayed in the columns of your inter® h ing journal. It is the Bar-Room Politim s This class, most frequently, make their appear, ti ancesix weeks after the return of the Marti# m and stimultaneously with mint-juleps andsei ii unts; but the present season, in coaseqaens o of the excitement in regard to the president I c’ection and the early decline in trade, you mat c soon expect to sec the whole tribe in motion m. as noisy ana loquacious as the merry sons ofßac- * chus.

They may generally he founds i steamboats, stage coaches, and taverns, event f ere .ing their stentorian lungs—atone momenu t boisterous as the tempest, and then as calmi 1 the whispering zephyr. ; Many pleasant hours have I spent with ti i much abused class—terror of timid women ai ] quiet business men, yet so noble, so jovial and < philanthropic! And how joyous the thougS j of once more mingling in their company and | ticipating in their rich and instructive couva* 1 tion, embracing every variety, 1 “ From grave to gay, from lively to severe.” * How disinterested and patriotic for one to t vote all his time and attention to the discuss 1 of the complicated affairs of the nation, anil! his zeal for its happiness and prosperity negi*« ! the wants of his own little family!
