“ THE GLOBE NEWSPAPER.”
The following remarks of the Boston Post and
Madisonian, are too true. The Gluhe Editor with n
f t .«r officials and trading politicians, have reached a
|,oiiit in the career of diet lion to the Democratic par
tv unequalled in this country. And if persisted in
cannot fail to defeat our party anJ principles for
years. It is true, that few papers in the country, es
pecially in the first few years of its existence, diJ
more or better service for the republican Admin
istration then in [lower, than did the Globe, yet it is
equally true, and must lie admitted by every candid
mind, that the Democratic party in turn, sustained
it with a generous and open-handed liberality—un
paralkled in the history of the newspaper press in
this country. That party has cast upon its publish
ers not merely an independancy, but a large fortune.
Exulting in the possession of this, and presuming
upon the kindness and forbearance of the Democratic
party ; this man, who, a few years since,set out from
Kentucky, as an Adventurer, a mere political pedlar,
and who, not long since, had the shamelessness to
avow ‘‘that supporting minority parties was unprofit
able, and those who knew him, knew that he would
not lie found doing so if he could avoid it,” (or words
to that effect.) Can the man who avows such max
ims as these, be regarded by honorable and high
minded men, in any other light than as an abandoned
“ swiss'’—yet this is the man whosucceeding beyond
all reasonable or just expectations founded upon his
own merits, like Dazile in the play, all at once fan
cies himself grown intj some extraordinary [iersonage,
and is ready with him to exclaim, “ who the devil do
people take me to he 1” Is the dictum of this man to
rule the party 1 Shall lie give out “ who thrives and
who declines'?” Will ho be suffered to set his own
private interests in the scale against the will of the
people, the millions of the country, the great Dem
ocratic party. We think not, there is a limit be
yond which audacity itself, becomes powerless—and
Blairs’ insolence and dictation have reached their
grand climacteric—neither the Democratic party nor
the Democratic press, (with the exception of a tew
admirers,) who arc satisfied to follow ingloriously in
his wake, will bear it any longer—he must cease his
swaggering dictation, or the sceptre will pass into
other hands.
HOW TO MAKE PUBLIC OPINION.
•‘The Boston Post came to us this morning filled
with applauses from a swarm of newspapers, great
and small, (beginning with Mr. Henshaw’sown spe
cial organ, the Worcester Palladium, whose attack
on Mr. Van Buren we quoted yesterday,) showered
vi[ton the now secretary of the navy. One would
suppose, from the volume of newspaper panegyric,
that Mr. Henshaw was a [latent remedy for the dis
eases of this administration, and would bring “the
same old coon” that was brought to death’s door by
the gorges of 1810, into quite a healthy and cleanly
con lition. Nay, more, that the specific had operated
so extravagantly as a love-powder, as to make the
democratic farmers, whose cornfields had been bro
ker, down and waited by the varmint, fall over head
and ears, anil snout and tail, in love with him.
One would suppose, from the multitude of these
panegyrics, (the Post has three columos of them,
which sec in to have fallen, like a theatrical shower ot
snow, all at the instant set down in the prompter’s
room,) that Mr. Henshaw was the most popular man
in the country, and that lie ought himself to he the
nominee of all parties in the country. We have the
whole string of administration presses out in one
burst of admiration and joy at Mr. Henshaw s ap
|(ointment. We have all such of the whig papers as
consider that Mr. Hcnshaw’s democracy would be
sufficient warrant to Mr. Tyler to break into toe
democratic camp, and afford him an opportunity ot
breaking down its organization, which has been so
long a stumbling block in the way of his new scheme
of treachery. All these cunning whig papers arc de
lighted with Mr. Henshaw’s appointment. Then
there arc a parcel of kind-hearted democratic editors,
who, having their private benevolence appealed to,
and licing assured (by Mr. Henshaw himself proha
lily—at all events, by his adjunct of the Post, Mr.
Greene) that he only took the place “ to su'serve the
cause of the true democracy ,’’ were willing to give him
a good word.
Such an old tactician in the press os Mr. Hcn
shaw, aided by such an arch, droll, quizzical person
age as Mr. Greene, (who lias always worn his (uili
t'.cs like a loose robe made to fit any hotly, but of a
color that might he called democratic,) could easily
procure putTs from good-natured editors to blow him
Up to a Size to fill a place in Mr. Tyler s cabinet.
Not the worst enemy of Mr. Hcnshaw would hesi
tate to admit that he had character enough to fill a
scat in a cabinet in which Mr. Tyler, Spencer and
Porter held the high places. We were, however, a
little amazed to see that any dexterity could draw a
pulTout of the Rhode Island democratic organ, on
the union of Air. Hcnshaw with the executive cabi
net, who had lent federalism the aid of the military
force of the United Slates to put down the freemen
of that slate contending for the right of suffrage, and
the right to establish a constitution for themselves, in
dciogat'on of a king’s charter to aland company,
Under which they had been governed against their
consent for so many years. — Washington Globe, Ju
ly 18.
Remarking upon this, the Boston Post of July 23d,
says:—
“This is a specimen of the argument, fairness, ami
decorum of a pajier that assumes to he the organ ot
tile democratic party of the nation ! Ihe \Y ashing
ton Globe. It was by a similar style of “smut and
tail’’ literature, and of coarse, dictatorial, and vindic
tive denunciation, that the Globe contributed in no
small degree to Air. Van Buren’s defeat in 1840, and
if the policy it now urges so fiercely should he adopt
ed by the democratic party, it will experience as dis
astrous a defeat in 1841 as it did at the close of the
Harrison campaign. But of this we entertain hut
slight apprehension. Neither the democratic press,
nor the democratic party of the country, will follow
the Globe in its errors of Judgment, or violation of
truth, justice, and decency. Ihe intimating that the
democratic editors who have spoken favorably of Mr.
I lens haw’s appointm mt, were cheated or coaxed into
their favorable expressions, and, after all, that their
opinions are of no more consequencethan counterfe t
snow-flakes, exhibits to them the degree of honest
dealing and courtesy they may anticipate at the hands
of the Globe whenever they refuse to bow before il,
and of the resjiect it entertains for the character ol
the pre«g generally. The Globe says we have always
worn our |iolitics like a loose robe made to fit any
body, hut of a color that might he called democratic.
If this were true it would distinguish Us favorably
from Mr. Francis P. Blair; his political rots; has not
always Uirne the democratic color; this needy ad
venturer was one of the first instruments in effecting
the bargain between Clay and Adams in 1825; an
act which was a greater cheat upon the democracy
than all the frauds of 1840, anti which aroused the
indignation of the honest people of the country from
one extreme of the nation to the other. When the
sagacious Mr. Blair saw the raging of the storm, and
those who fell with the fiist Adams unsuccessfully
attempting to rise with the second, he did what lie
says should damn Air. Tyler to everlasting infauiv,
viz: turned traitor to Henry Clay, and came among
the Victors to si-ck spoils. It is the immaculate dem
ocrat, Francis P. Blair—who excuses his agency in
the bargain between Adams and Clay by sayino he
was Mr. Clay’s personal friend and his relative—who
went to Washington for [lelf, with the odor of state
banks and nation and banks about him, that now talks
of our politics hanging loosely! But mark the hy
pocrisy of this gentleman. For years and years he
has filled column alter column of his paper from the
Boston Post and commended it as a true democratic
journal, and even complimented it within a lew weeks;
yet, he now says We have always worn our politics
like a l ose robe. He has either spoken falsely here
tofore or docs so now. Bui we are willing to abide
by tile decision of the democratic voters of the coun
try u|mn this point. If the Glolie or any other press
can find an instance where the Port has deviated
from a steady support of the usages and principles of
the democratic party—where it has failed to do its
duty as a diligent laborer in the eausc of that party
—we will confess the propriety of the Globe’s accu
sation; unless this be done, Mr. Blair must stand as
a reckless calumniator in the estimation of honorable
minds. AVe commenced fighting for General Jack
son’s election when Francis P. Blair was bargaining
for Clay. He waited until the democrats won the
battle, then went to Washington, dipped his long
fingers into the public treasury and withdrew his
hand full. To be sure he came near losing SISOO
which Amos Kendall thought did not belong to him,
hut an appeal to Air. Nile’s “ private benevolence,”
after Harrison was elected, restored it to the patriot
who now repays democrats for the wealth he has re
ceived through their exertions by calumniating them,
and attempting to control the democracy of the coun
try by his dictum. AVe are alike indifferent to the
praise or censure of Air. Blair—we look to more hon
orable and co: sistent men for a favorable judgment
upon our conduct and do not fear disappointment.
The democratic party does not belong to the AVash
ington Globe, and it will not longer tolerate its inso
lence in silence; the “ snow-flakes” of the democratic
press will convince. Mr. Francis P. Blair that the.
democratic editors of the country, also, are capable of
judging correctly, and possess the manliness to spurn
his impertinent dictation; they will not hesitate to
expose his mercenary selfishness, and to treat with
scorn a swaggering braggart.
In allusion to the same subject, the Aladisonian of
July 15th, hasthc following
THE ARROGANCE OF THE GLOBE.
The editor of the Globe seems to suppose that the
democratic party is bis properly, and every member
of it his vassal, to be moved at his sovereign will anu
pleasure. He has the audacity to assail Alessrs.
Henshaw and Nelson for accepting the seats in the
Cahinet offered them by the President. He dare not
question their democracy, but undertakes to cx-com
mumcate them for being willing to serve their coun
try in arduous and responsible posts.
AVhat would he have? If appointments are offered
to persons not known fir their uniform adherence to
the democratic party at all times and all seasons, then
the President is denounced for pursuing a course
hostile to the democracy. lie is represented as pro
fessing one thing an I practising another. If known
Democrats are appointed—men who have h rotofore
been the pride of their party —then the President is
charged with sinister designs; and the gentlemen
who accept the trust offered them arc denounced. —
Can any thing be more preposterous ? The truth is,
the Globe is unwilling to abide by the free and inde
pendent expression of the sentiments of the democra
cy. Having personal objects to accomplish, the editor
is determined to make the will of the party bend to
his will; and he would prefer its defeat rather than
its success, under men and auspices different fiom
those of Lis selection. How long his arrogance and
dictation will be endured, remains to be seen. AVe
much mistake the indomitable spiiit of democracy, if
it long brooks the insolence of such a man, who in
sults it daily by proscribing every man who docs not
minister to his cupidity.
MARTIN VAN’ BUREN.
In i recent letter Air. Van Eurcn makes the fol
lowing declaration:
“NO ONE CAN EXPECT OR SHOULD
DESIRE, TO BE ALWAYS IN OFFICE UN
DER A GOVERNMENT AND INSTITU
TION’S LIKE OURS; AND I HAVE EN
JOYED THAT PRIVILEGE LONG ENOUGH
TO SATISFY AIY UTMOST AMBITION.”
This is emphatically true. Air. Van Buron has
been constantly in public office since tho year 1812;
and lias held the offices of Senator of this State, Se
nator of the United States, attorney general of this
State, Governor of this State, a member of the con
vention that formed the new constitution, Secretary
of State for the United States, minister to Great Bri
tain, Vice President of the United States, and Pre
sident of the United States. If this does not satisfy
the ambition of-any man, it is difficult to say what
will. We do think that Air. Van Buren ought not
to permit his name to bo used as a candidate for any
office again. We have many eminent men whom
the people would delight to honor, and whose emi
nent servi cs fully entitle them to the highest office
in tl.c republic. It is unjust and ungenerous for one
man to aspire to a monopoly of the highest honors in
the nation. —Au/i Hank Democrat.
MR. CALHOUN IN THE WEST.
Every day adds to die swelling lide of popularity
which is destined to elevate John C. Calhoun to the
Presidency, and Levi Woodbuty to the Vice Presi
dency, in November, 1344, as well by the decision
of a National Convention as by the unbought suffra
ges of die millionsof the Wi st the South, the North
and the East. It need not —it cannot be disguised.
It is as clear as the sun in Mid Heaven. The active
men —the people—those who “fought the fight of
Democratic faith” in 1310, desire the nomination of
some other than the theu defeated candidate under
the lead of anew name. Calhoun, Johnson, or Cass
the party will sweep like some rushing tide over all
opposition, with either of these as a leader, there
are thousands and thousands in every state that
would swell swell the Democratic ranks that wine
ver unite on Mr. Van Buren.
Correspondence of the N. II Gazette.
Detroit, Mich. July Bth, 1813.
Dear Sir, —Ere this reaches you, you
will have seen that the friends of Gen.
are bestirring themselves in this
and the adjoining State, with reference to
the Presidential campaign. Gen. C. is
popular in our State, ana this, together
with State pride, may insure him the
vote of the State yet Mr. Calhoun has
a strong hold on the affections of the peo
ple, mid confidence of the party, and as
between him and Mr. Van Buren there
is but one opinion— Mr. Calhoun Would
distance him imrneasurcnbly.
Van Buren's prospects in (he 1 Great
ll ’est" are any thing but flattering. Ohio
Indiana and Michigan can m no event
go for Va Buren as a first choice, and
from information we receive here, which
is entitled to credit, Illinois which was
for him in IS4O, is backing out.—Thus
will you perceive his prospects of suc
cess in the West are small; in the South
they are little less flattering. Pennsyl
vania did not in ’4O go for him, nor can
she be made to in ’44. The “Empire
State,” his own State, if divided into
congressional districts for the choice of
Delegates, will be divided.—Where then
hut to New England has he he to look
for support ? Can New England, will
she, prove recreant to her self by giving
her votes for Mr. Van Buren to the ex
clusion ofSouth Carolina’s favorite son,
a man who for talents, integrity, and
sterling democracy stands unrivaled in
the union ? I have yet to learn that N.
England will give her vote for Mr. Van
Buren, which is virtually voting against
a man, whom all the West •■ml South
are united in for Vice President, the
Hon. Levi Woodbury of your own State.
An act so sucidul as this lias never yet
been consumated by the ever vigilant
Democratic “yankees.” But if they
should attempt it, the South and West
will save them from political suicide.
Blair ofthe Globe is fast losing friends
in the West, on account of the " anda
tory course he pursues, and is destined
to follow in the same wake with Duff
Green, who you know was at one time
omnipotent, but like Lucifer fell. With
John Caldwell Calhon and Levi Wood
bury on onr tick* t what have we to fear.
“The gates of hell shall not prevail a
gainst us.” But Johnson, Buchanan,
Cass or Tyler will receive a better vote
in the West than will Van Buren. The
people say that if Van Buren is the can
didate we have no guaranty that we shall
no get “wliipt out” as in ’4O. That elec
tion sir, settles one of two things, either
the people did not like the man\ or his
principles , the latter I am unwilling to
admit; and if the former, is there any
evidence their feelings have undergone a
change favorable to him.
It is to be hoped that our democratic
friends in the Hast, will unite with their
brethren of the South and West in do
ing justice lo Mr. Calh mm and the jia
triotic State Avho ciaims him with pride
as her son. I have just returned from a
tour through tile Western and South
Western States, and I was astonished
to see and learn the fee ing that is get
ting up for Mr. Calhoun and Mr. Wood
bury. and the men who were in ’3(5 and
’4O, the advocates of Mr. Van Buren
now say, “its no use, “ we Cant go for
Van Buren,” his want of popularity with
the masses lost us the election in 1840;
and will again if nominated.” Some few
of the old office holders who fell with
him and if lie rises, expect to rise with
him, are actually engaged in trying to
secure his nomination, but the people
see through their democracy, they see it
lies in the breeches pocket and therefore
heeds not ther wishes or kindly tendered
admonitions. In conclusion allow me to
say sir, that from all that I can learn,
the public mind is settling down in
Messrs. Calhoun and Woodaury.

THE CENTRAL RAILROAD.
Yesterday, for the first time, the Passenger Cars
came up to McCall’s Mills, two and a half miles from
this city. The cars will now run regularly between
that place and Savannah, departing every morning
at six o’clock, (Sunday’s excepted.)
We ate now within a few hours travel of the sea
board. We can visit Savannah—enjoy the proverb
ial hospitality of our neighbors—pursue our avoca
tions of business or pleasure and return with light
ning celerity to our homes. Macon and Savannah
are uow in connection a3 in interest, “one and in
s parable, now and forever.”
LOUISIANA ELECTION.
As we mentioned in our last the Dem
ocrats have carried every Congression l
District. The following are the majori
ties, so fur as heard from:
Ist Dist.—majority for Slidel, 317
2d do do for Saßranche, 8(>
3d do do for Dawson, 583
4th do do for Bossier, 158
1,174
This result is as creditable to the Dem
ocracy of the State as it is gratifying to
their political breihren throughout the
Union. The Whig majority in the last
Legislature endeavored so to arrange the
districts as to secure the entire delegation,
and in this praiseworthy effort thevwere
aided by the ('entral ('lay Club of Wash
ington City. Air. Moore, a member of
the last Congress, in a Circular which
was intended to he circulated among the
Whig members of the Legislature, carv
ed out the Districts, (making the Fourth,
ns he thought, secure for himself,) and
added, that the arrangement had the sanc
tion of the Clay Club of Washington
City. A copy of this precious epistle
fell into the hands of a Democrat, who
published it for the benefit of his consti
tuents. An effort was made to transfer
one of the wards in the city of New Or
leans from the first to the second district,
but it was refused by the Whigs, on the
ground that it would possibly give the
Democrats a chance to carry the first.
But (how wickedness'works its own pun
ishment !) the Whig vote of that Ward
was insufficient to counteract Air. Slidel’s
majority in the balance of the First Dis
trict, though it would have secured tho
election ot Gov. White in the Second,
where the majority of Air. Laßranee, the
Democratic candidate, is but 80. In ad
dition to elecling the entire Congression
al delegation, the Democracy have carri
ed, by a large majority, the call for a con
vention to amend the Constitution of the
State, by extending the right of suffrage,
and other wholesome provisions.
Wash ngton Spectator.
I was'told by a gentleman who went
to Boston In his company that, in a most
interesting conversation between Mr. Le
gare and another very distinguishe 1 gen
tleman, the value of - public honor was
discussed. Mr. L. expressed the strong
est conviction of their complete empti
ness, and declared that his future life
should be devoted to the attainment of
such acquirements as ennoble the indi
vidual without reference to the stamp of
public recognition by honors and office.
This philosophy, though it seems very
obvious, is ofteoer remembered in the
dawning and closing than in the high
meridian of a political life, and Mr. Le
gare was the rare man lo have acted up
on it when his renown was at the high
est. Most men know, though few act as
if they believed, with Shakspeare, that
“ Glory is like a circle in the water,
Which never ceaseih to enlarge itself
Till by broad spreading it extend to nought.”
My friend added that Mr. Legare was
very desponding in the tone of his con
versation, and seemed to have a strong
presentiment of evil.— N. Y. Cor. Nat.

A City under Protest.— The Al
bany Atlas says : —“ We understand that
a draft upon this city for §25.000 were
recently protested. It was for a portion
of a debt due to the State for money ad
vanced, tue balance for which, some
§OO,OOO, also remains unpaid. There
was no offer made to renew the bond or
to postpone its payment, nor any expla
nation offered of the circumstances un
der which it was offered to be protested.
The fact of this amount falling due and
of its being called for, was in truth con
cealed from the members of the Board.
The Chamberlain omitted to report it,
and the Mayor did not choose to notice
the fact.
VVIIiuGI KI.
In the American Democrat of the 12th
inst., a republican paper published in Ma
con, Ga., we find an article laboring to
prove that Mr. CLAY is in favor of the
PRROTECTIVE TARIFF ! ! a fact,
it seems, which its whig opponent denies.
Our Federal friends got handsomely bit
at this game, in 1840, with Mr. Tyler
and a National Bank, and it is a little sin
gular that they should be so ready to try
their hands at it again. We can assure
the American, that here at the north, if a
democratic editor -should undertake, to
assort that Mr. Clay is opposed to a “pro
tective tariff,” his neighbors would be
tempted to shut him up in a mad house.
Mr. Clay’s friends here are almost to a
man high protectionists ; and if it could
lie satisfactorily proved that their great
leader is opposed to them on this subject,
they would instantly forsake him, and
place him in the same category Avltli Capt.
Tyler. “ Protection,” with the northern
whigs is simply an affair of the pockeis,
and although, in most matters they would
follow Mr. Clay with a blind fatuity, yet,
as this is regarded as a malter of interest ,
a stroke of whiggery which is to tax the
people of the north, south and west, for
the benefit of a few manufacturing whigs
at the east, the dollars would preponder
ate, and they would even forsake Mr.
Clay, much as they are devoted io him,
rather than abandon the hope of filling
their pockets from the avails of other
people’s labors.— Baugh. Free Press.

FROM THE COUNTRY.
In the fourth district the democrats
seem to be admirably organised, and are
working with a spirit which forshadows
a great victory. Mr. Payne was still in
capacitated from the canvass by illness,
lie has, however, issued a most admira
ble address, that will more than supply
his presenceainongthe voters, lliselec
tion may be set down as certain.
From the third district the news is still
more cheering. The whigs show a
pseudo confidence, but it is only intended
to keep up the spirits of the party else
where. They have no hope of success.
We are told that great crowds assemble
to hear Air. Lewis ; and that scores who
go from curiosity, leave with a full con
viction of the injustice, of a tariff and the
danger of a bank. Col. Lee may be con
sidered no opposition.
In the second district, Air. Belser has
published, under his own signature, a
pointed and able circular, breathing a
calm confidence in the people, and the
end of the election.
In this district flic news from day to
day grows more favorable. If we hud
three months more for the canvass, Judge
Goldthwaite would be elected by a very
handsome majority. If, however, the
change continue as at present, there can
be no doubt of his success.
The three other districts we shall car
ry by large majorities. There is then, a
very strong probability that the entire
State will riot send a whig to Congress.
So glorious a victory, added to that re
cently achieved in 1 .ouisiuna, would have
an influence on other States whose effects
would defy calculation.
ROYAL CORRESPONDENCE-KING DENNY
OF SANDY POINT, RIVER GABOON.
The following is no hoax. “ King
Denny’s” style we like very much. It
is marked by that sententious brevity
which, scouting all circumlocution or
ambiguity, goes directly to the point.—
“King Denny ’ wants a coat and trows
ers, and other small articles of apparel,
his usual habit being to go without, and
content, like Milton’s Adam, to be “ with
native honor clad”—so he says to his
Sister of England. “ King Denny, wish
my Sister send me a great coat, with se
campotes or epanlettrs, waistcoat and
browsers, plenty gold in them ; cocked
hat with gold and feather; sword and
telt, plenty gold, and two easy chairs.”
With the true spirit of knighthood, King
Dennis of Sandy Point, lliver Gaboon,
winds up his epistle to the female Loyal
ty of England, by the complaisant assu
rance—“ King De .ny very glad to hear
Queen got husband
We are of opinion “ King Denny”
ought to-, be iuvitedby his brother Prince 1
Albert, to a seat in the next World’s Con
vention, by which time he could lie got
I ready in the article of coat and trowsers.
He would make a conspicuous figure, in
one of his “ two easy chairs,” alongside
the Royal President, listening frith in
tense interest to An harangue from Abtg
Kelly. If the Prince does not invite him,
we should not be surprised to learn the
reason was—a slight touch of reasonable
jealousy, prompted by that gallant senti
ment of the Royal Cu flee, which makes
one instinctively search the map for how
many degrees of latitude “ Sandy Point,
River Gaboon” can be distant from the
Metropolis of the Gaul—hear him !
“Sister—King-Denny, of Sandy Point,
River Gaboon, must embrace you for the
things you send me by Capt. Tucker ! !”
But we are tiring the reader’s patience.
A ItOA'AL REQUES V.
The papers relative to the expedition
to the River Niger, were recently pre
sented to Parliament. Amongst other
documents will he found a despatch from"
Tucker, dated Fernando, Po., May, 31,
IS4O, to the Admiralty, giving an ac
count of his mission to King Denny, of
the Gaboon River. “His Majesty” seems
to have been infinitely delighted with the
respect paid to him by the repeated sa
lutes Avith which Captain Tucker hon
ored him, but sadly disappointed with
the presents —a gold medal and chain
sent to him by the Queen of England.
“His Majesty” gave expression to this
disappointment by dictating the follow
ing letter to the Queen :
TO QUEEN OF ENGLAND.
‘ Sister—King Denny, of Sandy Point,
River Gaboon, must embrace you for the
things you send me by Captain Tucker,
your war ship Wolverine, who dashed
me them this day with grand ceremony,
which much pleased me. King Denny
was too much glad to save Queen’s men
belong Lynx, which cost §l2O, which I
too much glad to give Queen. King
Denny Avish very much to be brother to
Queen, and will be very glad suppose
Queen no let Spanish ship come for
slaves ; and suppose Queen send plenty
English ships to me for trade for ivory,
gum, bees Avax, dye wood, and ebony.
And King Denny Avish mv sister send

Anecdote of Charles Lamb.—
Charles Lamb was, at one part of his life,
ordered to the sea-side for the benefit of
bathing; bur, not possessing strength of
nerve sufficient to throw himself into the
water, he necessarily yielded his small
person Up to the direction of two men to
“plunge him.” On (he first morning, ha-*
ving prepared for immersion, he placed
himself, (not without trepidation - )between
these two officials; meaning to give the
previously requisite instructiohs which
his particular case required 1 but, from
from the very agitated state he was in
from terror of what he might possibly suf
fer from a “sea-change.” his unfortunate
impediment ofspeeeh became greater than
usual; and this infirmity prevented his
directions being as prompt as fras neces
sary. Standing, therefore, with a man
at either elbow, he begun, ‘I-I-I-m to bo
di-i-ipped !’ The men answered the rea
dy instructions with a ready “Yes sir.”
and in they soused him ! As soon as he
rose, and could regain a portion of his
lost breath, he stammered out as before,
“I-I-I-m to be di-i-pped 1” Another hear
ty “Yes, sir,” and down he went a second
time, Again he arose, and then with a
struggle (to which the men were much
used on such occasions to heed) he made
an effort for freedom; but not succeeding,
lie articulated as at first, “I-I-I-m to be
