Ox Dvr.—ll is said that the Maine IMega*

just at the close of the fission, that they would
be much gratified at ihe appointment of Dai-
iel Webster as Sptci-l Ambassador to England
under the Act of March 3rd relative to the
North Eastern frontier. The President, it is
said, replied, that their wishes in the case were
^entitled tu great consideration, and that lie
iihould leel every disposition to gratify tliemt
but that un intimation had been already made
lo Mr. Calhoun in reference to ihe appoint
ment. 'We think it m.»at probable that one nl
these gentlemen will be appointed. Either ol
them would he admirably qualified to fulfil the
imporL.tU trust, and between the two, all
things considered, we don't know that there is
much to choose. If there is any objection to
Mr. Webster, it is, that he belonga to a State
which lias a large pecuniary interest in the
question at issue. John Quincy Adams has
been mentioned in some of the • papeis as a
Very fit man, but we dec dcdly hope that lie
will not be appointed. Besides being liable u>
the same objections as Mr. Webster on the

to be a good uegaci *tor on a question of so
much delicacy, amt co .cerning which so much

Would it not have been better that Congress had ab*

not see what good it lias done and we prefer to say
Unit the Legislature of the nation lias done nothing, than
to say it has done evil. True, there hnn been ait Invea-

intoxicated; heard him any Oh Got, and knew that from
the manner he pronounced the word God that he was
a German, which induced him to go up ami aee who lie
was, Ritter was well acquainted with the deceased, nnd
knocked at tires window of Slender, who was in brd.
informing him that Glys tier wan drunk lying in front of
his house. Stemler then got up. ind after getting a

LOAFERS I LOAFERS II LOAFERS III
Start nut, Mr. gentleman loafer, who will do mulling

glssiofold Madeira, the property of a friend, and con
descend to light a Principe, furnished hy amnu goinf
nnliircd devil, who believes you are a very fine fellow,
because your hands nrc white, ami Monsieur D*s-
NoYKlt, removes die stubbles from yout chin, and
sprinkles Eau de Cologne, with a bountiful linnil, any nut
cambric, or /tulle de Rote, on your amhrosinl curls.
Start not! We do not war with you. For tl.hough
such delicate articles, may now and again be in the
way, they can never do much harm.
But really, the influx of sliirtless, and hoiiselem—
meneyless nnd workleti, denizens amongst us. nf lute,
demands a passing notice. In untgrand* rill* de Paris,
and that other Mammoth city called L-mdnn, Chtvdiert
d'Industrie, are without number. Our own cities in
the North, su'-has Boston, New York, und Philndel 1
phia con also furnish their quota nf these very rueful
members or die cinnmnnwenltli—but the plant Inalcr
aeeiu-i tn Le anything bul exotic. It is native with the
noil s nnd your cockney loafer would be untlii'ig in nur
Southern c.ime. He would drop by die wayside. Now,
a loafer proper, is a saucy chap. Ur earn mailing far
public, npininn. If lie cannot inxke a dtctnl appearance
iu bis external toggery, (to use u slang term)—lie can,
and will make an indecent cue. He may not have icW*
shoe, butlie will make ih?m appear half boots. All,
few know die real philosophy nf loafing! The loafer
can uinialize, und muse on the follies of mankind, with
a* much wisdom and usefulness ns De.vioi tin us, and
Heraclitus, aye, and old Socrates, to bom; for
mark you, lie has no Xantipp. to wring his cars! Yes.and
lie can turn die foiblesol’iiis fellow* toa better uccouut
than either of them.
He is ever nil the qui the. He is always wide
iiwnko. Ho enn mark the mail of rhino from the par
venu at a single glance. Your true loafer is ■ quiet
fellow—never obstreperous or intrusive—yet always
accommodating and ready. Very often, he posrsses
luleut, ami had ha money, would be a prince in bis ex
penditure—as be lias nut, be will lAowynu how to get
rid ofil His inouo is “come day, go day, God send
Sunday.” To-morrow will bo to him aa to day. He
tins no hills to pay—no notes to meot—no protests to

own notary, and packet.* his own fee*. He ■* board* at

Tnrce or four days ago, we avw a tall citizen—some
six feel or thereabouts, standing in the street, and look,
ing very vacantly around him. lie turned S mill, West,
North and East, in his gaze. His compluxi >n was
saturnine, and Ids countenance bespoke mental agony.
We i,ured a short way nil', and soon found that the aiu-
gularity of hia manner attracted other*, lu a few se*
cunda he began to wave Ida ntnu—to shriek, and grind
his teeth. The persons near crowded round the ap
parent sufferer. One asked him the cause of his con'
lortions 7 Ue replied taut lie was alHmied with spasms,
and nothing hut a glam? of brandy would rcliuve him.
He was instantly taken into a house, and given a largo
drum. Iu a moment, ho was as lively as u colt, and be.
come extremely familiar with all about Idm. The
novelty of his introduction, and hi* immediate renova
tion by the taliiraanic influence of Cogniac, induced the
Samaritans, who succoured Idm to treat Idm to a slice
of cold shoulder. Ho took the bint, and with it, French
leave; and eyed Ilia benefactor a-kam e at Ida departure.
One of the company had the curiosity to follow the
stranger, and he bud not proceeded more than two or
three streets, when he pupped into a bur room, nnd
swallowed another bumpei of brandy. This was
enough lo show that he was an impostor, lie got a hint
that Savamiuh, waa not large enough for the exercise
of Ida calling with advantage! and lie profmed by it*
I. alias since been amongst the missing. There nre,
however, mliort in the line of the •* absent one," about
town. They can be easily aeen alo.ig the Bay, when
the Sun iu enlivening ua with its ray*. Perhaps these
people aro harmless, but we especia ly recommend
them to the surveillance of our indefatigable Marshall
—for he kuows, with us. that idleness is the parent of
crime.
We have said nought of the indigenous loaf r—not
we. We would not be personal. We only alludo to
those who have been trasplauwd, to show that our soil
does not generate them.
