FARRELL’S ARABIAN LINIMENT ftrlwarf m eimiletr rtaab. Mr. H. O. Farrell—Dear Sir: Actuated by a wants of gratefahtesa, I submit the fallowing as at instance of the utility of your gnat medi- daa.

Immediately on tho attack, the family physician was called in, aad ftrthree weeks he labored to restore it to Seeling, but all in vain, although it was blister* ed a dozen times mad various rubefacient Lini ments applied. A consultation of physicians was then held, but to no purpose, the case was then brought before the Medical Society, but nothing could be suggested which had not a! ready been done, and the doctor then told me be could do nothing more.

Jan *6 1855, *7 THE LITTLE BOY THAT DIED. Messrs Editors.—Dr. Chalmers is said to be the anther of the following boaatUbl poem, writ ten on the occasion of the death of a ton whom he greatly loved. Perhaps you will give it a place in your columa, aad remind other bereav ed ones that a great and a good man (tit aad sa&ered as they do.—Abe. I am all alone in my chamber, now. And tho midnight hoar is near; And tho fegot’a crack, and tho olock*s dull tick, Are the only sounds I hoar, Andover ay soul in its solitude, Sweet feelings of sadness glide, For my heart and my eyes are toll wheal think Of the Uttle hoy that died. I went one night to my fisther’a house— Went home to the dear one* all— And softly I opened the garden gate, And softly the door of the heu. My mother came out to meet her son— She kissed him and then she sighed, And her head fell on my neck, and she wept For the little boy that died. I shall miss him when the flowers coma, In the garden where he played; I shall miss him more by the fireside, When the flowers have all decayed. I shall see his toys and his empty ehair, And the hone he used to ride; And they will speak with a silent speech, Of the little boy that died. We shall go home to four Father’s’ house— To four Father’s’ house in the skies, Where the hopee of our aonla shall have no blight, Onr love no broken ties. We shall roam on the banks of the river of And bathe in its blissful tide, Aad one of the fry# of our heaven sla# fte The little boy that died. Punch and Fanny Febn.—“What Is the height of a woman’s ambition ? Diamonds.”— Punch. Sagacious Punch 1 Do you know tho reason. It is because the more “Diamonds” a woman owns, the more preeione she becomes In the eyes of your discriminating sex. What pair of male ayes over saw a “crow’s foot," grey hair, or wrinkle, in company with a genuine diamond f Don’t you go down on your mar row-bones and swear that the owner is a Venus, a Juno, a sylph, afiury, an angel?—Would yon stop to look (connubially) at the most bewitch ing woman on earth, whose only diamonds were u in her eyeef" Well, it is no great mar vel, Mr. Punch. Tho race of men is about ex tinct. Now and then you will meet with a specimen: but Fm sorry to inform you that the most of them are nothing but eoat tails, walk ing behind a moustache, destitute of sufficient energy to earn their own cigars and “Macassar,” preferring to dangle at the heels of a diamond wife, and meekly receive their allowance, as her mama’s prudence and her own inclinations may suggest His out of my power to express to you the veneration I feel for snob a dignified donkey. Mr. Punch. If I owned him, I imagine I should slip my bridal (bridle.) Fanny Febn. Free Masonry tat Turkey. Although freemasonry has for more than thir ty yean been generally supposed to exist among tiie Mohammedans, and traces of it were found in Turkey by the Russian officers after the cam paign of 1829, yet they were too slight to prove tbo feet; and it is only within the last few years that it was sufficiently demonstrated by a Ger man Freemason chancing to pass tbronSh Bel grade, where he discovered a masonic lodge, to which bo was invited, and where be receired a hospitable reception. It appears now to be proved beyond all doubt that the Turkish broth ers who exercise their masonie duties, under the name of Dervishes, are to all intents and purposes the same as our own order of freema sons, with but very Uttle difference in their cus toms and ceremonies, and making use of exact ly the same signs, words, and grips, to recognize escb other. The Turkish freemasons appear to be in a more elevated state of civilisation than la usual amongst the Orientals generally; and their views of reUgion are for higher than those imposed by Islamism. They reject poly gamy. contenting themselves with one wife, and at the Masonie banquets the women appear un veiled—a striking proof of the mutual confi denee the masonie brethren place in each oth er. The Belgrade Lodge, called Alikotsch, is com posed of about 70 members. The Master of tbe lodge whose name Is Djani Istnvel Zsholak Mo. baaed Saeds, is at tbe same time Grand Mas ter of all tho lodges in European Turkey, and is directly connected with all those of tbe whole of tbe Ottoman Empire, Arabia, and Persia, in wbieb latter the freemasons amount to more than 50J)0" members. In Constantinople there are no less than nine lodges, tbe most nume rous and important of which is that of the dan cing dervishes, called Sirkedshi Tecker* Tbe Turkish freemasons wear as a symbol of the brotherhood, besides, a small brow shall embroidered with mystical figures; a flat, pol ished, twelve-cornered piece of white marble, with reddish brown spots, about two inches in diameter, snspended by a white silken cord round the neck. These spots represented the drops of blood, and are symbolic of tbe death of Ali, tbe founder of the order in Turkey, who barbarously nut to death by tbe then Snltsn, for refilling to reveal the secrets. The above men tioned Djani Ishmael, Grand Master of the Lodge of Betgrade, a venerable Turk of the old school, is honorary member of tbe Lodge of “Baldwin under thb Lime-tree” at Leipzic, lev end members of which lodge have received dip lomas from the Alikekoisch at Belgrade. Mobile Election.—Tbe following, from tbe Mobile Tribune, sbowe bow “Sam” did bis work in that city. It will be remembered that bis favorite bad a majority of 1100 votes. “The polling was remarkable for order and decency. There was not a solitary quarrel or fight at any of tbo poite, growing out of tbe elec tion; and, as far as we can bear, there was less challenging than at any- prevfoii? election. There were also fewer drunken men and n£ un usual wrangling in any part of the city. At dark we passed by one of the polls, which usually, on election day, until midnight, is a scene of rereland riot, and not a solitary idler or rioter could he seen. Tbe place waa as quiet as it is on a Sunday evening. In this respect tbe manner of tbe election is worthy of the esteem of all good men; aad whether tbe merit of it be due to “8am,” or some other cause, we take pleasure in recording the fact, so that It may be cited as a precedent hereafter.” A BLASTER WANTED! rpHE services of a man who is experienced in JL blasting rocks beneath tbe surface of the tvatcr are desired. A competent person can se cure a remunerative employment by applying at this office, ftp 24 tfi Just lee to the President. For once we are in duty bound to say, that tbe President bas made an appointment which is not traceable to Colonel Forney. The Hon. George P. Scarbnrgb, formerly of Accomack, aad now Professor in the College of William and Mary, at Williamsburg, Virginia, takes tbe place of Judge of tbe Court of Claims, left vacant by the declension of Jndge Lumpkin. Tbis is a good appointment, and in onr opinion a Wise selection. We are afraid to say anything more In favor of Jndge Scarbnrgb, whom we have known for twenty-five years, lsst onr compliments should prevent his nomination going to the Senate. We hope tbe President will not accuse Jndge S. of being a “Know-Nothing” because we have said It was ft good appointment, for we would sooner take it all back than have onr compliments work him an injury.—American Organ. The game of fashionable life is to play hearts Nbwsfapbrs for Lunatics.—Tho Atiata In telligencer says: We have recently been shown an ex tract from a letter of that most faithful and efficient of offi cers, the Resident, Physician of the State Lnn- atio Asylum. Dr. Green says,“it is a mercy a* well as a charity to my unfortunate charge, to bestow a nowspaper upon them, and I am ex ceedingly sorry to eay, that Northern editors are much more mindftil of these kindnesses, than oars seem to be. Their papers are given *naay number to their benevolent institutions, while here we have only 13 given to us by tho Southern press, and one of these eome from Charleston, aad one from Tallahassee.” Now there are nearly, or quite fifty newspapers pub lished in Georgia, and we believe by as respec table and as pnblio spirited a corps as can bo found anywhere. We feel satisfied that if this notice of tho remissness of onr fraternity, in supplying a solaoe so cheap and grateful as a single number as eaeh of our papers would prove to these unfortunate people, should eome under the notice of onr editorial friends that they will hasten to contribute this mite toward a noble ebarity. We have been assnred by the gentleman, who has for years back presided over the interests of tho Asylum, with sueh distinguished talent, that he finds the qniet and soothing oeeupation of mind, effeoted by rea ding, as among the most valuable remedial agents employed in the institution for the res toration of A husband, residing in a small village in the interior thns announces the departure from his “bed and board” of his dearly beloved: “My wife, Annie Marie, has strayed or been stolen. Whoever returns her will get His head broke As for trusting her, any body can do as he sees fit for as I never pay my own debts, it is not likely that I will lay awake nights thinking a- bont other people’s.” Reward of all the malignant passions: they are great foes to grace. Envy is'devilish.— Hatred is murderous. Wrath is crueL Even peevishness destroys equanimity, and mokes connected thought impossible. God’s Spirit is a dove, hot ft bird of prey. He flies from noise and strife. He Who ruleth not his own spirit will be ruled by an evil spirit: % A Texas Candidate, “I am opposed to enny man drinking enny more bnst-skoll whiskey than he wants too; this is mi feelins on tho liker law. I am in favor of the n&vigashun of the Gandjdoop by steamboats as fur as they can cum; I am in favor of a rale road from sum pint to another so its in tbe limsts of the Stait. I am in favor of the Main liker law and dezire that it shood be adopted in aul the uther staits except Tex as; this will drive emigrashun to our shoar in snrch of licker.” His plan of a fiscal agent for the "grait stait of Texas” is certainly “ hard to beat” Let all financial men, everywhere, prepare to thank him: “ I am In favor A Bank plaste on The fathe of the Stait and as Menny branches ns Com- merse requires for the prostitnshnn of The peo ple.” The Trenton (N J) State Gazette says that a valuable dog, belonging to a gentleman in tbe neighborhood, had a pup which it wae found necessary to drown. The parent showed signs of violent grief, and finding the body of her off spring, she fished it ont of the creek and laid it on tbo porch of her owner’s residence. She then went to the creek, walked in, and drowned herself. _ Liberty- nr Mai we.—One of tbe amendments of the liquor law in Maine, reads thus: If an expressman, cartman, porter, or any other person, shall carry a bottle, or cask, or demijohn of wine or other liquors, to a gentle man's residence, he is subject to a fine of twen ty dollars and eosts, for tho first offence. For tbe second offence, a fine and eosts and thirty days’ Imprisonment is the penalty. If any man carries, in his own baggage or about bis person, a flask, or any other vessel containing liquor of any sort, to be used by him, the party doing «• is made liable to a fine of thirty dollars and thirty days’imprisonment A Lilliputian Baby.—In a neat little cot tage on the “Fourth of July bill;” at any hour from 10 o’eloek a. h., to 0 o’elock v. m., may be seen by those who are onr ions in snch mat ters, the fairest formed and best proportioned dwarf infant ever exhibited. It is now be tween four and five months old, and woighs a trifle over four pounds! It weighed precisely one pound and fourteen ounces at birth! It is as intelligent observing and playful as any child of the same age. Indeed it is a wonder worth seeing.—Siny Siuy (JF. Y.) Heralds his Harrow Escape of (be Pope, In the cloister of tho monastery of St. Agnes his Holiness entertained his distinguished guests at dinner, in a large hall on tho first floor, and subsequently admitted the pupils of the Propa ganda Collego to kiss bis foot At this moment about one hundred and fifty E jrsons were eolleeted together around tbe ope when an awfal tremor manifested itself in the flooring, which his Holiness instantly perceived and endeavored to prevent bis guests from being alarmed at, assuring them that it was the shake of an earthquake, a phenomenon with "which bis residence as nuncio in South America bad rendered him somewhat familiar. However, before any othor coqjeotures were broached tbe floor gave way. With hideous ruin and combustion dire, the Pope, prelates, cardinals, generals, soldiers, ana scholars were precipitated through it, with out order of precedence, among falling beams and fragments of masonry. Cardinal Antonel- li’s good luck saved him alone of all the card! nils present He was near the window, to which he clung for support; but his eminent brethren Marini and Patrizi, were severely injured in the fell, as was the French general and a great number of tbe Propaganda pupils. Pio Nono himself descended nnhnrt, and sit ting in his Papal chair, and was extricated from the wreck amidst exolamations of miraco- lol, miracolol from all aronnd. In gratitude for such an escape, his Holiness forthwith in* vited all who were able to follow him to enter the ehurob, and with a loud voice intoned a thanksgiving to the Almighty, and afterwards received the sacramental benediction from Monsignor Tizzani.—Engliie Paper. Hie Crops, The Cincinnati Gazette of the 27th, says : “We have seen within a few days, a number of gentlemen from different parts of this State, and of Indiana, who bear almost unbroken evi dence of the fine appearance of the yonng crop k of wheat that is coming.” From Tennessee we have tbe flattering in- diligence that in the centre of tbe State, wheat over presented a more promising appearance it does now. A gentleman writing from Westmoreland cotmty, Virginia, (on the Northern Neck of Virginia,) which has lately become a great wheat Igrowing country, says he never saw a better prospect for a good crop. In New York, accounts continue favorable. In all tbe central counties, the prospect is very good. The Livingston Connty Republican thinks the breadth sown is one-fourth larger than at any former period. The Ontario Republican says, speaking of wheat: “It is of such luxuriant and vigorous growth that many of our farmers think it beyond dan ger from the weevil. We are glad to learn, al so, that more acres were sowed to wheat lost fall than usual, and that our farmers are mak ing arrangements to appropriate more lands to spring.crops.” The Lancaster (Pennsylvania) Herald of May 2, says: “The appearance of tbe wheat fields have idergone a great change for the bettor, with the last few days, and the farmers speak ncouragingly of the prospect ahead. The rass is also growing finely, and if the present ivorable weather continues, there will bo an 'abundance of food for both man and beast. We not presume that prices will go flown to the old standard for several years to come, even if the crops of all kinds should be large.” We are of the same opinion. We must hare a succession of good crops to get back to an abundant supply and low rates. There is eve- ery prospect before tbe farmer to encourage him in bis labor. Even another drought should not dishearten him, since it has brought snch an increase of prices.—If. Y. Journal. The Starksville (Miss.) Standard cotains the following paragraph: Wheat Crops.—Wo enjoyed the opportuni ty of seeing many beautiful fields of wheat on last Saturday. All that we saw, was in a very flourishing condition, and if we coaid have a lightrain within a few days, there wonld no donbtbe a very large crop of wheat made this year. The corn and cotton crops look well. THE FLOWERS HAVE COME. BY SHEPARD P. SMITH. Answer to “The Flowers have gone,”—By Juti*~B.Champney.

Pontiac, Ills. Election Riots at Louisville.—On Satur day an election was held at Louisville (Ky) for magistrates and constables, resulting in the suc cess of the Know Nothings without serious oppo sition. The election, however, was character ized by some disgraceful scenes. A man nam ed Wm* Gray fired twice at another porson, but missed bis aim. A mob then pursued Gray, wbo received two balls in his body, and it is said several passed throngb his bat A German see ing some of bis friends attacked with brick-bats fired a revolver twice and wounded two persons. He was pursued to bis coffee-house, severely beaten, and everything in bis establishment demolished. Tbe Louisville Journal, which we gather these particulars, does not charge any particular party with being in the wrong, bat very correotly calls upon tbe authorities to punish them, no matter to what party they may be attached. _ The Wounds or the Heart.—You may go into a ball-room, writes the author of “ Human Nature,” where there are two hundred women. One hundred and ninoty-nine of them yon will pass with ns mueh indifference ra one hundred and ninety-nine pullets; but the two hun dredth irresistibly draws you to her.

Or do her eyes affect you, so that you have no time to reflect, and no opportunity for yonr head to judge bow yon can digest tbe notions they have put into it? Or is it animal mag netism, or wbat the plague is it? The Panama Route.—The Cnlcatta eorres- powdent of tbe London Times states that a great effort will now be made to establish a direct communication between Austrialiaand England, across the Isthmus of Panama, as soon ns tho completion of the Panama Railroad is known in those distant region's: J&FTo onr brethren of the steam engine— whether they dash abroad over the graded surfaoe of terra firma or stem tbe aquatic flood that meanders throngb the vales-we desire to oommend ourselves. We ask of them a reci procity of patronage, commensurate with tbe justness of equitable commercial relations. We shall engage every Saturday morning, a scat in eaoh passenger car that departs from Atlanta, hence we claim it as our right to exaot the patronage and influence of all steam engi neers belonging to the progressive profession of steam. We have a tender attachment for yon, and hence the reason this article is ad dressed to yon in particular.

Cameron, Milam County, Texas, April 16. Among tbe thousand letters that you are con stantly receiving. Congratulatory of tbe pros pects of the “Native American Party,” I trust that one from tbe “ Lono Star State,” will not be unacceptable. I can confidently assure you that here ibe work goes bravely on, that the followers of the gallant “Sam,” of San Jacinto, were not more devoted to the dear principles, for which ’hey were struggling, than are the followers of the “Sam” of the present day. The bone and sinew of tbe land are alive to their interest, for we of Texas well know the impending dangers with which we are surroun ded ; already have the foreigners (and of that class we find many in Texas,) been making their boasts, “that ere long, they, with the help of a few native demagogues and broken down aspirants, would form upon our Western border a new State, and abolish from onr midst slavery,” an institution, the abolition of which every true American, would deprecate second only to a dissolution of the Union. It has been but a very short time since “Sam” made his appearance among us; but, since we have become better acquainted with his prin ciples through the medium of your valuable paper, they are sweeping the intelligent of the country like a prairie on fire. Success to your paper, and tbe principles it advocates. Yours truly, Americus. We clip tbe following from the Montgomery Mail of Saturday evening, which we recom mend to the attention of the “unterrified” in tbis State: “A Democratic meeting was held in Jackson ville, Benton county, on the 30th ultimo, for tbe purpose of appointing delegates to a Congres sional Convention, to nominate a candidate for Congress. Instead of doing so, however, it adopted on motion of Dr. C. J. Clark, (an orig inal, old-line Democrat,) a series of admirable resolutions against canousses, village influence, etc., and appointed no delegatee. This is one of the signs of the times. We hail it with joy.” Hon. k. C- Dodge. Was it in serious, sober earnest that there was written and published in the list of passen gers sailing by tbe Pacific the following flourish? “The Honorable General Augustus Caesar Han nibal Dodge, Minister Plenipotentiary to tbe Court of Her Catholic Majesty Isabella II, Queen of Spain, his lady, three children, and servant” Or was it a pleasant bit of humor on the part of some jocose clerk or copyist ? We Incline to think it was sober earnest, and that in tbis imposing pomp of names a deep politi cal design may he concealed. It may be one of the most ingenious but 'powerful joints or levers in the intricate diplomatic machinery of the Pierce administration. It looks like an ir resistible and infallible new attempt on Cuba. Such a nice ’derangement of epitaphs’—sueh an array of names, will put down all fnrther Span ish opposition to the annexation of Cuba. How can the Court of Her Most Catholic Majesty re sist arguments urged by a superhuman being, who is not only an Honorable, but a General; not only an Honorable General, but an Augus tus Caesar; not only an Augustus Caesar, but a Hannibal; and not only a Hannibal, but a Dodge ? “Well, this great Plenipotentiary, for tbe re petition of whose titles we regret we cannot find space in one number of the Bulletin, has sailed for Europe in the steamer Pacific—auspi cious namo ! It did not require more than one steamer to carry him, which is fortunate, con sidering tho scarcity or first class vessels of that kind since the war in the East began. The great Plenipotentiary goes charged with impor tant instructions from the President, which are the resnit oflong’and’serious cogitation and con- saltation with the late minister to Madrid, Hon. Pierre Soule, who is supposed to have failed in the object of his mission—the acquisition of Cu ba--solely on necountjof the brevity of his’nnme. We trust we are not betraying the confidence reposed in. ns by the administrations. The President, having discovered the importance of a great name, looked aronnd among his faithful adherents, wbo for their Nebraska votes bad been invited not to go back to Congress. . He sought the greatest name, and after a slight search became satisfied that there was none equal to that of the ex-Senator from Iowa, whose sponsors in baptism had given him as a Christian name the heathenish titles of Augus tus Cmsar Hannibal, prefixed to the noble.name of Dodge. This settled the matter. Dodge wns sent for nnfl was ‘willin’.’ So , he goes to Madrid to get Cuba. His instructions are that if he finds he is not happy in his performance of the character of ’the Honorable General.’ be is to try the Augustas Ctesnr ; if that fails he is to try Hannibal; and if be can do nothing with that, ho is to try the Podge. This will un doubtedly bring Spain down. Her Catholio Majesty will at once give up her great crowd ed jewel, tbe Queen of tbe Antilles. Tin poli cy of the administration seems to be entirely summed up in one imposing word—Dodge!” ^ _ [Bulletin. Shooting Stars and the Telegrph.—Fa ther Gecohi, of tbe observatory, at Rome, sug gests calling in the aid of the electric tele graph in the observation of the shooting stars. For instance, a meteor being soon at one obser vatory, information of tho fact is to bo instan taneously flashed to tbe next beyond, and so on, and then, by subsequent comparison and cal culation, to dlsoover as thoy all saw it at tbe same instant, and the same part of the sky. Theso and some other points being ascertained, will be possible to clear up certain doubts that now confuso the question of shooting stars.

We have now heard both sides, and the con duct of the Missourians, in striking a balance between tho accounts of both parties, appears to be about six for one to half a dozen for the other. Read our letter from Missouri. It gives us some very interesting and curicns facts concerning the trials of squatter sovereignty and Squatter life in Kansas. It has been said that an attempt is being made at Washington to secure the appoint ment of the dismissed Judge Loring, of Massa chusetts, ns Governor of Kansas, in the place of the present incumbent; but according to our latest information, Gov. Reeder has resolved to go ont there again, at all hazards, to look after his land speculations. What will Mr. Pierce do ? It is stated that his Cabinet are five for Reeder, viz:—Marcy, Guthrie, Cushing, Mc Clelland and Campbell; and two for the ex pulsion of Reeder—Jeff! Davis and -Dobbin— both stringent Southern men. The issue with the President is between Marey and Davis; and npon this qnestion, in this shape, onr amiable and accommodating Executive cannot very well carry water npon both shoulders He must either supersede Reeder or retain Lim; and if be is retained he must be supported. Thns, at last, we shall be able to under*tone t where our shuffling chief magistrate stands on the Kansas-Nebraska qnestion. When the re peal of the Missouri compromise was first moot ed he was opposed to it; and his organ, the Washington Union, that it mast never be touch ed. But the Southern Senators readily pur- suaded him that the repeal would make him, while, if he refused^t, he wonld be lost, bag and baggage, in the South. So Mr. Pierce went for tho repeal; hut the appointment of Mr. Ree der to Kansas proves that the bill was a.trick upon the South. The Reeder plot for abolition- izing Kansas meets, however, with a sudden and most ominous rebuff: and onr Missouri cor respondent assures ns that the Southern people of that State and Arkansas and Kentucky, are organizing, on a formidable scale, men and means to crash out the anti-slavery societies in Kansas. • The qnestion then recurs, wbat ‘’isOl Mr. Pierce do? He will, most probably, as usual shuffle off and evade all responsibility, until the hostile parties moving npon Kansas are invol ved in a border and sectional war. With this most treacherous and imbecile administration at the helm, the existing state of things and the issue in Kansas are foil of danger.

The message Was laid on the table without any action being taken upon it, and 5;* |D0ff cdpies were ordered to be printed: Fortune is the rod of the weak and the at*# of the brave.

Too much care, therefore, cannot bft employed in forming otir principles. A consoling hope is thus beautifully express ed by Alice Carey: . “ -Even for the dead I will not bind My soul to grief; .death cannot long divide; . For is it not as if tbe rose that climbed My garden wall, bas blossomed on the othet side?” Cok-Fusionist Nominations.—Tho Fusion* ists or anti-Americans of this City, alter long travail, havp at last bronght forth' their ticket for city officers. They have nominated for Re gister, Win. J. McCormick, a Whig; for Collec tor, Roh’t J. Roche, a Whig; and for Survey or, S. T. Abort, unknown, but also supposed to he a Whig. This is the ticket of the Pierce and Forney party in the city of Washington, the headquarters of the National Administra tion. What a humiliating confession of weak* ness is this to proceed from that party which, only two years ago, swept the country from Maine to California! What abjectness of de» apondency in a party which so recently trams pled Whigs ruthlessly under their feet; and al- but exterminated them from the departments of government! flow, they are compelled to sue, eftp in hand and on bended knee, for Whig votes, and to give the Whigs all the lucrative offices in the gift of tho people. Is this the epirit of the present dynasty? Is this the energy we were told to expeot from Young Hickory, the Ancirew Jackson of New Hampshire ? What a failing off is here, even from Polk. Young Hickory, forsooth! A bass-wood pumpkin seed would more accurately represent the “hero”- who has managed to thrust himseif into tbe shoes of the old lion of tho Iferniitage. A large portion of the fusionist candidates for the Councils are also Whigs—for the Whigs are insatiate—thoy must have all. They will fuse on no other terms than a controlling in fluence in the city government. The Dethoara- cy must surrender unconditionally, and at dii- cretion, and bo loft altogether to the mercy of their new allios. Talk of Democratic boldness and fearless ness after this! The mouse is a lion, the sheep a hyena, in comparison with such lamentable fnint-hcartodness and cowardice.— Wathington £r. _ TO THE RAPPING SPIRITS : If invotir now estate yon canrtot rest, But firast return.
