Fillmore in New York.—The Al bany Statesman tells us that almost uni versally it is the fact that wherever the Americans were overborne in the late elections in New York, it was effected by the ''united forces of Democrats and Republicans!” It adds the following cheering news: 44 To the close observer, the fact is ap parent as the unclouded sun at noon-day, that ihe American party will carry the Empire Slate next fall. There is no earthly power that can prevent its having a large plurality, if not a clear majority, in the State. To nobody is this so ap parent as the Republicans and Demo crats.

An array of Brob- dingn«gians commanded by a Liltpulian Chief would not be more incongruods. In some political Liliputta, Mr. Pierce might be n respectable, perhaps even a great man; but in a party winch boasts among a multitude of able leaders such chieftains as Buchanan and Walter, and Rusk and Butler, and Dallas and Douglas, the attempt to measure h’.m- self with them, only makes his dtminu- tiveness the more painfully conspicuous. editor relates the affection An unprincipled I following case of remarkable affection and absence of mind 44 A girl, who was one of our first loves, was one night lighting us out. after having passed a delightful evening. and in bashful trepi dation, she blew us out of the door, drew the candle behind the door and kissed it.” .

When he had retired, Claude paid his devoirs, and made his proposals with great earnestness. His professions of disinterestedness were no less emphatic than the captain’s. The painter came next. When -alone with the lady of his love he found a voice which failed him in the presence of others. To each of the suitors six* gave,tlie same reply—namely, that she would re turn a . definite answer exactly three weeks from the date of bis proposal, requiring him in the interval to refrain from calling or inquiring about her, and to absent himself from the city. The commands of a rich beauty are impera tive. Each man promised a knightly obedience and kept his pledge. The Captain ran down to Newport; Claude went to Saratoga, and Stanley carried his sketch book up to the White Moun tains. The widow shut herself up for three weeks. At the expiration of that time, punctual to the appoint' d day, hour and minute, the elegant Captain entered Mrs. Champion’s dr iwing-room, and surveyed himself from head to foot in the Versailles mirror, with a smile of satisfaction. He was engaged in self admiration when a light step recalled him to a sense of propriety.—He turned and beheld the widow, but a thick veil covered her face. He drew a chair to her side and addressed her. ‘‘Dearest Isabella,” said he, in his most persuasive tones, “allow me to re move the envious screen which shrouds charms which were ^rer meant to be concealed.” “Alas, Captain,” sa^d the widow, with a tremulous voice, and drawing her veil yet closer, “those charms exist no longer.” Is it possible 1'* cried the Captain in a tone of alarm. “Wbat do you mean ?” “Since I saw you I have been very sick. When I was a child my parents neglected to have ine vaccinated, and the ravages of the small pox”— “The smallpox!” cried jhe Captain.- pushing his chair back to the other side of the room. "Don’t be afraid, Captain,” said the widow. “It is all over—and I am a dreadful object to behold —tut of cou rse that makes no difference in your affec- ,,0 “Hem!” cried the Captaiu. “It would make no difference, if 1 wanted to retire with you into the -country, to live like Darby and Joan. But to go into society—to introduce you as my wife at balls and soirees—a person disfig ured by a dreadful disorder, O Lord, ma’am the idea never entered my head!” li I release you fron your engagement you are free,” said the widow.’ : .-*' “I have no doubt, ma’am,” said the Captain,greatly relieved, “that you will find individuals not exactly in my situa tion, who will be—will be very happy to—in short, ma’am,.I wish you a very good day.” ^ - -A. “Cold-hearted, vain egotist!” said the widow, when he had lelt^ ‘‘I rightly guaged your character. ^ o u on ly wish- ed for a handsome wife to. enhance your consequence, and parade in society, as you show off your handsome horse in the street. Let us see whether mv thoughts have wronged Mr. Careless. To Careless she told the same story.— was ever uttered in a cooler tone—and so thought the widow. The young artist heard the loss of his lady’s beauty calmly. “It is a misfortune," said he. “Beau ty is a glorious gift, bul perishable—the true heart and mind alone remain un changed till death.” “But 1 am poor, Stanley,” said the widow. “You give me new life, Isabella!”— cried the painter. “The world cannot say now that any mercenary motive tainted the pure feeling with which I re garded you. Trust me, you shall never want while I have brain and hand to •work for you.” . ‘/Then take me for such as I am and was,” cried the widow, throwing off her veil, “both in person and in purpose, and forgive the fabricated tale which proved two of my suitors worthless.” Freed from the veil, her dazzling beauty beamed on the painter in undim med radiance, and her hand thrilled to his touch. Need we say that they wp r e happy ? From the St, Louis Christian Advocate. BIBLE LORE AMONG LAWYERS. As we have noticed, several papers from 44 down South" have been making invest- themselves quite merry over some liuli- I am crous blunders,, reported to have been made by lawyers, at Jefferson City, in this State, we propose to pay them in their own c*>in—;or at least to send back their change. It is true the legal gen tlemen referred to were sadly at fault, and ought to have known better—but they were not a whit more at fault than those of whom we will now speak. Some years ago, during the sitting of the Supreme Court for one of the'db- tricts in the middle part of South Caro lina, the following scene occurred. A trial for seduction was progressing. Able counsel had been employed on both sides, and considerable emulation was manifest ttnong the lawyers. One, in his speech for the defendant, remark ed, that fiom the evidence given, he be lieved it was a Potiphir’s wife’s case, immediately the principal lawyer on the persevering AN ANGEL IN EVERY HOUSE There is an angel in every house. No matter how fallen Ihe mma'es. how depressing their circumstances, there is an angel there to pity or to cheer. It may be in the presence of a little phild ; or it may be clothed in a stooping or wrinkled body, treading the downward path to the grave. Or, perhaps, in a checrfu^spirit, looking upon the ills of life as so many steps toward heaven, if only bravely overcome, and mounted with sinless feet. We knew such an angel omef and it was a drunkard’s child. On every side wherever she moved she saw only mise ry and degradation; and yet she did not fall. Her father was brutal, her mother discouraged, and her home thoroughly comfortless. But she struggled along with angel endurance, bearing with an almost saintly patience, tie infirmities of him who gave her existence, and then hourly embittered iu Night after night, at the appointed hour of ten, twelve, and even one, barefoot, ragged, shawlless, bonnetless, has she been to the den of the d: unken and gone staggering home with her arm around her father. Many a time hasher flesh been blue with the mark of his hand, when she has stepped in between her helpless mother and vio lence. Many a time has she sat upon the cold curb stone with his head in her lap; many a time known how bit ter it was to cry for hunger, when the money that should have bought bread was spent for rum. And the patience that the angel wrought with, made her young face shine, so that though never acknowl edged in the courts of this world, in the Kingdom of heaven, she was waited for by assembled hosts of spirits, and the crown of martyrdom ready, lay waiting for her brow. And she was a martyr. Her gentle spirit went up from a couch of anguish —anguish brought on by ill usage and neglect. And never till then, did her father recognize the angel in the child; never till then, did his manhood arise from the dust of his dishonor. From her humble grave, he went away to steep his revives for the better in bitter tears: and he will tell you to-day how the memory of her much endeared life, keeps him from the bowl—how he goes sometimes,and stands where her patient hands have held him, while her cheek crimsoned at the sneers of those who scoff at the drunkard’s child. Search for the angels in your house holds, and cherish them while they are among you. It may be that all uncon sciously you frown upon them, when a smile would lead you to a knowledge of her exceeding worth. They may b: among the least cared for, most despis ed ; but when they are gone with their silent influences then will you mourn lor them, as for a jewel of great worth Missouri Politics,—There are now three condidates in the field for Gover nor of Missouri, as follows: Thomas H. Benton nominated by the Benton Dem ocrats, Trusten Polk by the Atchison Democrats, and Robert C. Ewing by the Amerioaus. An effort was made to bring the two wings of the Democrat ic party together while their Conven tions were sitting in Jefferson city which failed, two separate t ing nominated throughout, ican ticket will doubtless be part of the prosecution turned to an other member of the bar with, “Col. B., where is that Potipher’s wife’s case re ported ; I want to : answer that part of the argument ?” Col. B. looked wise and thoughtful for a few seconds, and confessed he had forgotten. The questioner then immediately turned to a young member oi the bar who had but lately left College, and asked the same question. The young disciple of Biackstone of course did not wish it to be thought he was deficient in anything. So after indulging awhile in that peculiar look, indicative of deep thought, he answered, 44 It seems to me. that when I was in College, 1 read some thing about that case in the Greek Testament.” In North Carolina, the Solicitor for the State on one of the Judicial circuits, while prosecuting a young man f»r al leged fraud in hrrse-swapping, after ad dressing the “court and jury” for some time, felt it incumbent on him to give the accused some wholesome 'advice— which he did in this wise. Turning directly towards him, looking him fall in the face, and significantly pointing with his finger, he said, “ Young man, that good old book' your father and mother taught you to read and reverence —that book by which you ought to have been guided—says, ‘When thou swap- pest horses with thy neighbor, tljpu shalt tell the truth, the whole truth, and noth ing but the truth.” This same Solicitor, when prosecut ing a man under charge of theft, grew warm in the argument, and staitledthe Court with the following: 4 Gentlemen 6f the Jury, the evidence, in this case U point blank, it says to the prisoner as Moses said to Solombn—thou art the man.” onicnl impediment. 1 >hnll personally visit the Apostolic See once cvry It u years, anil render an account to our blessed Fs.th r X. and Ins succe soi l as aforesaid, of my whole pastoral of fice, and of every thing in any way sp- pertaining to the si..te of my Church.to the discipline of the c’.C'gy and p ’nple and to the salvation of the souls entrust ed to my care, and I shall htiinbll re ceive in return the Apostolic mandates, and most diligently execute them. Bul if I be prevented by a lawful impedi ment, 1 shall perform all the thing-* aforesaid by a certain messenger spe cially authorized for this purpose, a priest i f the diocese, or by some other secular, tegular priest of tried virtue and piety, well instructed on all the above subjects. I shall not sell or give away, nor mort gage, enfeoff anew, nor in any way alienate the .possessions belonging to my table, without the leave of the Ro man Pontiff —-And should I proceed to any alienation of them I am willing to contract by the very fact the penal ties specified in the Constitution pub lished on this subject.” More recently, the following occurred in Tennessee. Several lawyers were in conversation in a room in a public-house in M- , during a session of the Circuit Court,w hen one of them alluded to the fable of the dog in the manger, 1 and insisted it was in the scripture: Another denied it. They contended for some time, and finally referred to young II., who had the reputation ol being one of the best read men of his age in that part of the State. lie gave it as his opinion that itwas Scripture, and might te found in th-1 part of the Old Testa : ment which spoke of Christ having been laid in a manger! Finally—an editor in Georgia, and one too of those who have had so much fun about the blunders of the Jefferson City lawyers, lately let off the following. He was speaking of the birth of the “ in fant King of Algiers “ If it is true that there is always joy in heaven when a boy child 19 born, it is equally true that there was great joy in France when the young Prince made his appearance.” Whenever our editorial brethren feel a disposition again to laugh at the mis takes of Missouri lawyers, they can just let us know. CATHOLIC BISHOP’S OATH. Last Summer the Sag Night press of Tennessee, denied most vehemently that any Roman Catholic had to take an oath to support the Pope of Rome, in any case in opposition to the Constitu tional Laws of the United States, but it now appears that these editors were mistaken. Bishop Miles, of Nashville has furnished the papers of that city with the following, which we presume may be taken as the true oath of a Cath olic Bishop: “1. N. Elect of the Church of N. shall be from this hour henceforward obe dient to blessed Peter the Apostle, and to the holy Roman Church, and to the most blessed Father pope N. and to his successors canonically chosen. I shall assist them to retain and defend against any man whatever, the Roman Pope dom. without prejudice to any rank. I shall take care to preserve,' defend, and promote the rights, honors, privdeges and authorities of the Holy Roman Church, of the Pope, and of his succes sors, as aforesaid. With my whole strength I shall observe, and cause to be observed by others, the rules of the holy Fathers, the decrees,ordinancestor dispositions, and mandates of the Apns tolic See. When called to a synod, 1 shall come unless prevented by scan DIFFERENT DESTINIES OF TWO WRX THERS. JOHN C; AND FRANK FREMONT. It seems to be settled, now, .that Col. J. C. Fiiemont is to be the Presidential candidate of the Black Republicans—• the most detestable set of po iticians^ not excepting the party, of Robespierre and Ditnton, in the French liuvolution. that the world ever knew. For the atrocities of the era referred to, there was some Very slight pnlliatfon in the oppressions of previous systems nml wrongs inflicted by the classes which were so horribly revenged by the Pa risian cut-throats. To .the case of the American eans-culottes, the attempted revolution is softened by no presence .of injury to it* actors, and is against all the instincts ofn race—while it is demon strated, by recent events at the North* that their ferocity is as intense and as- brutal as the annals of revolutionary Paris can exhibit. Vlt~ i* liiis4>aity that Col. Fremopl now leads; and Col. Fremunt is a South ern-born man. Nay, he is a Southern- boru man, whose pres nt wealth and dis tinguished position are fairly attributa ble to the social influences of the section, upon which he is hereafter to make war. Had lie been a native of New England,In nil probability he would ibis day have been steeped in poverty and unknown to fame. If Col. Fremont was not born in Charleston, lie was car ried there at a very’ early age by his mother, and he certainly received there the education which fitted him ' tor sub sequent success and distinction. Ho was the protege of the Ladies' Beneco~ lent Society ol Charleston, some members of which found the family in gr^ut need and aided them. Young J. C'. Fre mont was discovered to have talent, and by the interest of these same ladies, be came the beneficiary of a charily, schol arship in Cliarleston College. He was graduated there, with distraction, having shown (as we always heard.) decided mathcmnupl talent. Subsequently, through the influence already mentioned Mr. Poinsett, was induced to get liiru an appointment as a teacher of mathematic*, on board a national vessel; thence he was transferred to the corps of Topogra phical Engineers-—not very long after wards married a daughter of lion. Thomas II. Benton, and begtiu bit- brilliant and rapid rise. Every one knows his subsequent history. Col. Fremont had a brother,. Fiuid:,. a year or two younger, who went on tin: stage very early. He was a bluff look ing, hearty fellow, sectaing very ranch more like a man destined -to military lea lership, than his brother. For some little time, Frank hiade a sens ition and got to be called the ‘‘Charleston Roscius”—but gradually Ciine to be considered merely it s‘6:k actor. Af er ha- had been on the .-foge some years, Iks married—in New. York, as well as We recollect. Somewhere about 18.13-B while playing an engagement in Bulf.ilo, (N.
