An Admission.
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.

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.

“ 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

of once more mingling in their company and |
