And fain wonld dwell on its beauty; And time moves on Its glory is gone. And I must hasten to duty. W 0 INTIMATE FRIENDS, —OR— MAM AMO SCAMDA • That mercy 1 to other* show, That mercy show to me.' 'Mamma, Mrs. Grant is down stairs,’ said Nora Vert* to her mother. ‘Dear me!’ exclaimed Mrs. Vere in a tone of vexation, 'what can bring her out this damp morning—j'ust as I am in the midst of cutting out this wurk too. Well, I suppose 1 must go down.’ ‘ I believe she always chooses disagreeable weather on puipose,’ rejoined Nora, ‘for the sake of catching us unprepared. 1 had just time to make my escape before she was shown in.’ And in another moment Mrs. Vere was in the parlor receiving her friend with all the cor diality in the world, as if she had been theveiy parson above all others that she liad most de sired to see; and Nora, too, her dislike of Mrs. Grant being conquered by her love of gossip and a desire to hear the particulars of last night’s ball, which she had been prevented from attending, joined them presently. •I am sorry, Nora,’ said Mrs. Grant, ‘that you were not at Mrs. Kendall’s last evening. It was the gayest party we have had this sea son.’ ‘I was sorry indeed,’ said Nora, ‘not to be there. We were engaged with some friends at home. Who was the belle V ‘01>, Mis9 Linden of course. She is al ways the prettiest, best dressed and most ad mired girl wherever she is. Your Hamilton was devoted to her.* Now as Miss Linden was Nora’s avowed ri val and ‘favoriio aversion,* and Mr. Hamil ton her own particular admirer, she well knew that Mrs. Grant gave her this agreeble piece of information ir. the hope of saying something disagreeable, so she answered with the frank est expr ssion and most cordial tone. ‘She always looks beautifully, and I know Mr. Hamilton admires her.* Had she lived in the Palucfe of Truth, which fortunately for her and the rest of us, none of us do, she would have replied, ‘She never looked pretty in her life, and Hamilton don’t admire her at nil, and I doubt whether he even danced with her last night.’ She however, contented herself with asking Mrs. Grant, who danced wretchedly, and sel- Iy are, I think she rather outdid herself last night.’ ‘What was it 7’ asked Airs. Vere, to whom the very word ‘cap’ always carried a very deep interest. *Oh, 1 can’t describe it,’ replied her friend. Such a concatenation of ends of grimp and gold lace and mussy flowers, I never saw, even on her head before. 1 don’t know where she could have had it made.’ ‘She made it herself, of course, said Norn with infinite contempt. 4 Does she not make everything 7 She prides herself on be ing what she call* * smart,’ and I never knew one of your ‘ smart’ women who did not dress vilely.’ *1 agree with you,’ answered Mrs. Bel mont. • Better be simple and unpretending if you can’ti afford to go to Lawson’s and buy the real thing at once. But Mrs. Grant thinks she can imitate almost any important head dress she sees.’ * Yes,* joined Nora, • and when she has made something outlandish, thinks it looks French.’ And from Mrs. Grant’s caps they passed to Miss Grant’s frock and flowers, which did not fare much better, and by the time they had fully discussed their mutual friends, the interest and uuimation of the conversation dy ing away, Mrs. Belmont bade them good morn, ing. •I wonder what pleasure a woman of Mrs. Belmont’s age can take in going to parties night after night, as she does,’ said Nora to her mother, after that lady’s departure. I own I am surprised at it,’ answered Mrs. Vere, ‘asshe has no daughter to matronize. If I did not consider it my duty to go with you, I am sure nothing would induce me to submit to such fatigue and wear and tear of body and mind. But Mrs. Belmo'.t has bxtraordinary spirits. She is constitutionally gay.’ * Well,’ continued Nora, • that may be a happy constitution, but it is not a dignified one. I like to .<ee a woman fall into the ‘sear and yellow leaf’ gracefully, not to be dancing and dressing like a young girl, and out every night as long as she is asked.’ ‘ I think, Nora, said her little brother, look ing up from his slate as his mother quitted the room, ‘ that ours must be the only perfect fum- ily in town.’ ‘ T.ie onlv perfect family! Why, what do you mean, Tommy V ‘ Why,’ returned the child with much sim plicity, * 1 have been listening to you and mamma, and it seems to me that every body has got so many f mlts, except us, that we must be the only per ect people you know.’ Nora laughed heartily asshe answered,—‘ 1 don’t know that we are perfect, Tommy. Pei- haps if we were to hear other people talk of us, we might find that we had some faults too.’ Had Nora and Tommy had the giflol clair voyance, and could in spirit have followed Mrs. Belmont down Broadway, asshe overtook Mrs. Grant, they would speedily have discovered that Nora’s conjecture was not as impossible us it at first struck Tommy’s young mind. * You are going to Mrs. Vere’s next Monday I suppose!’ said Mrs. Grant. * Ob, of course. They entertain a good deal this win'er, don’t they!’ ‘ A great deal. I don’t know lmw they man age it,’ continued Mrs. Gran*. With Mr. Vere’s limited menus and -their expensive habits, how they can contrive to dress and spend as they do, is more than I can compre. hend.’ * I know,’ continued Mrs. Belmont, drop, ping her voice to the true confiden'ial pitch, from what Mrs. Vere told me, that they are very much pressed for moneyand then she proceeded to mention some little circumstance that Mrs. Vere had inadvertantly let drop in relation to their family affairs, adding, * I should not of course mention these things, d>d I not k'-ow the stiong interest (curiosity would have been the better word,) you take in the family, and all that relates to them.’ 4 Oh,certainly, certainly, Mrs. Grant. * You may safely talk to me, I am so much at tached to them all, and only mention these things with regret.’ 4 Of course,’ rejoined Mrs. Belmont. * One spoke of her os ‘vain and frivolous.’ The gaged to give it, provided ho could find any one young Veres voted the Grants ‘dull prigs,’(for to loan lnm the money, for which he offered to the whole family were smitten with the desire pawn his wagon Lad of notions and Sleepy D-»- for literary distinc ion,) and what term the sol- j vy to boot. He asked oue, then another, to ac emn Grants found profound enough to indicate their contempt of the careless off-hand Veres has not yet oame to our knowledge. Nora Vere^was a very pretty creature, with her clear IiazCT eyes and bright chestnut hair and sylph-iike figure, the very personification of youth, health and happiness, and ifshe was too much given to the too sins of fashionable life, ridicule and extravagance, she was yet at heart a high-spirited, sweet-tempered, warm hearted girl, and did not ridicule her friends, only those who passed for such. At any rate, Frederick Hamilton, being young himself would not have changed her faults for the Grant’s virtues, and so, notwithstanding the moral that should ‘adorn this tale,’ (for we must own the truth) he did admire her the more for her very pretty dressing. Unfortunately, even in these hard times, young men will wor ship beauty and admire effect, and a brighter fairy was never seen in a ball-room than Nora Vere; and so, in spite of all Mrs. Grant’s pro phetic, not to say triumphant anticipations, Frederick Hamilton, deeming himself rich enough to please himself, did offer hand and heart to the acceptance ofthe proud and happy Nora. * And wlral did Mrs. Grant say mammal was the eager inquiry of the bride elect, on her mother’s return from a visit to that lady to an nounce the engagement; for Mrs. Vere’s hap piness was never perfect until she had the tri umph of communicating it to her friend, r.or her mortification and sorrows complete while she could conceal them from Mrs. Grant. And when Nora returned her bridal visits in her own carriage, nowhere did she leave her card as ‘ Mrs. Frederick Hamilton,’ with such entire satisfaction ns at Mrs Grant’s. ‘ And now Nora,’ said her husband, as they drove away from the door, ‘ let us have little or nothing to do with that woman.’ ‘ With all my heart,’ she replied, ‘ I don’t like any of them.’ The Tin Pcdler & Sleepy Davy. The following story, extracted from the forth coming work of U A Yankee among tke Nulli- jiers,” purports to be told to the author by a South Carolinian.— “The Yankees, as I said before, are apt to be too cute fir us in every thing except horse flesh, and even sometimes in that. It was this day a year ago, and at this very spot, that I enter ed my horse Southron, for a purse of two thou sand dollars. He had won a like sum the year before with all e.ise. In short he was the best horse at that time in all Carolina. There were to be sure two other horses, and very fine ones loo, entered against him—but they were no touch to Southron, and I was as sure of wi ning as I am of sitting here at this moment— when who should come along but a d Yankee with a tin-cart! He had the Shabbiest He cannot see n family like the Veres committing such extravagancies without pain. They have noble qualities, but it is a pity they are so im prudent.’ Mrs. Grant chorused in, as to their noble qualities,’ and the ladies praised their friends vaguely and in general fur a few minutes, When they returned to their failings with renewed vi- gor, Laving generals for details and particu lars. ‘ Indeed,’ said Mrs. Grant, ‘ I don’t know how Mrs. Vere can reconcile it to her con science to dress Nora as she does. If her ob ject is Hamilton, I think she is sadly mistaken dom got partners, whether she waltzed a great in the means. Young men don’t full in love deal, to which the lady replied. with a girl because she dresses well. Indeed, ‘No, she seldom waltzed—it laid one open in times like these, it is calculated to have a contrary effect. They can’t afford to marry expensive wives, who bring nothing;* to which Mrs. Belmont, who had neither sons nor daughters grown up, answered carelessly, * Thill’s true. ‘But Hamilton is rich,* and having reached Stewart’s, where she wished to make some purchases, b : d her friend good morning. Now what was the tie that bound these three familifs together!—for a week never passed that either the Veres did not spend an evening with the Grants, or the Grants Mmp In nt the Veres, and Mrs. Belmont was forever at both places. It was evident, that though the intimacy was great, the friendship did not amount to much. Habit and the love’of gossip can only explain tins enigma, for an enigma it does seem at first sight, that two families who certainly did not like each other, and to both of whom the third party was indifferent, should bn upon terms of such mutual intimacy as existed in this little clique. Mrs- Vere and Mr*. Grant bad known each other early, when their small children and small incomes had been rather subjects of mu tual sympathy and interest, and living much out of society, they bed bt en what realiy might be termed friends. But as time progressed, and their children grew up, different views and feelings were developed, and the friendship de generated into intimacy, and the interest into curiosity, and thus as is too often the case, the form lasted after the sentiment had departed, and what was once sympathy bore now very much the aspect of antipathy. Nora Vere looked upon Lucy Grunt as a girl, being ugly, wanted to pass for clever or ‘ intellectual,’ as sh<* would say, and laughed at her pretensions and quizzed her German, and pronounced her a ‘humbug.’ Lucy, on her part, indignant nt seeing the foveiy Nora’s beauty, waltzing i-nd to so many observations. Nora, who waltzed like a sylph, could not let that pas9, and she replied with spirit, that sbo did not think so. Once upon a time it might have been so, but all that was old fash ioned now, and considered in bad baste, and proceeded to eulogize the waltzing of a fash ionable foreigner, whom she pronounced be side, (as iftbat were quite secondary,) ‘very a- grceable,’ and asked if Mrs. Grant did not find him so. Grant, who spoke French very imper fectly, which Nora shrewdly suspected when she asked the question, although she set up for a linquisi and a blue, said she did not take much interest in these foreigners, as she thought they generally were very frivolous; when the con versation was interrupted by the entrance of Mrs. Belmont, who a mutual friend of both families, whereupon a very general and spiri ted critique was passed upon all their friends and acquaintances at large. * Nora,’ continued Mrs. Belmont, 'your dress at the assembly was perfect—your flow ers exquisite—I never saw you look better. Whereupon Mrs. Grant turned her cold g, r ev eyes on Nora, and scrutinizing every article sho had on, from the collar to her shoe-strings, if she were taking an inventory of every thread she wore, and wondered where the mon ey came from, said slowly and notover oppro- vingly, ‘ Yes, Nora is always exquisitely dressed, rose and took her leave. • That is nioro than can be said for her or Lucy,’ said Nora, era the door quite closed upon her parting viator* 1 You may nay that dear,’ rejoined Mrs. Bel mont laughing. ‘You ought to have seen them last night.’ ‘Why, what did they wear?’ asked Nora, with the utmost interest and admiration. ‘What did they not rather,’ returned Mrs. . , — Belmont. ‘ Droll us Mrs. Grant’s caps usual-! her more solid ^ot so heavy) acquirements, a bargain for less than the regular sum, he en- claim ofthe British Government to iina territory, founded worst looking horse you ever set eye> on. was a lean, slab-sided, crook-legged, rough haired, milk-and molasses colored sun of a gun as ever went on four legs. He stood all th time as if he was asleep—in fact, his owner cal led him Sleepy Davy. In short, sir, he was such a horse as would not have brought twentv dollars It was near the. hour of start'ng, when the pedler whose exterior corresponded marvelous ly with that of his horse, and who s rid bis name wasZadock Barker, to the astonishment of all intimated a wish to enter his horse along with the n s*. “Your" horse 1” exclaimed I—“what, that sleepy looking devil there 7 You’d better en ter him for the turkey-buzzards. “Not’s you know on, Mister,” returned the Yankee, with some show of spirit. “To he sure the critter looks rather s'eepy as he stands, & on that account I cal! hint Sleepy Davy; but lie’s a jo-fired smart horse for nil that.—He’s like a sinned cat, a darned sight better than ite looks, i should like tarnation well to try him against some of your South Carolina horses To be sure I didn’t come all the way from home on purpose; but as I was coming oat this way with a load of tin and other notions. I thought I miitl’t time it so as to kill two birds with one stone—for, thinks I to myself, if I can win the purse and peddle off my »<>ti >os at the s'lme time, I shall make a plaguy good sp-ck. But I had to hurry on like the nation, to get her in season—and that’s one reason my boss lo *ks so kind of shabby and out of kilter ibis mor ning. But for nil that he’ll perform like day work I t**ll you/' Supposing he had no idea of running his horse and that all he said was merely to gratify his propensity for la'king, I bade him bo gone, and not trouble me with his d d Yankee pal aver. Why, Mister,” said he, “this is a free coun try. and a man has a right to talk, or let it alone, jest as he can afford. Now I’ve taken a good deal of pains to get here this morning, in order to run Sleepy Davy against some of your Southern boss s. I aim a joking,'sir. I’am in airnest. I understand there is a purse of two thousand dollars, and 1 should like amazingly to pick it up. “You talk of picking up n purse nf two thou sand dollarsjvith that bit of carron of yours ! Away with you, and don’t trouble us any fur ther.”. Well, ifl can’t run, th°n I sposa I can’t— but it’s darned hard any how for a man to take so much pains ns I have to come to the races, and then can’t be allowed to run arter all.” “It’s loo late now—by ihe rules ofthe course the horse should have been entered yesterday —however, if you’ll plank the entrance money perhaps you may get in yet.” I said this by way of netting rid ofthe fellow having no idea lie could command a fourth part of the sum required. How much might the entrance money ho V drawing out a purse c**nt lining a few shillings in silver and a few pence in copper. ‘If it nint more’n a quarter of a dollar or so, I’ll plank on • he nail.’ ‘It is two hundred dollars.’ ‘Two hundred dollars' exclaimed the Yan kee, ‘by guuly, whut a price ! Why they axed me only a quarier ol a dollnrto see the elephant and'he whole caravan in Now York. Two hundred dollars ! Wiiy you must bej*>king now! Bless ir.e! mv whole load of tin ware, boss, wa- commodate him with the loan—declaring that as soon as ever he took tho purse, the money should be returned, and he would give a dozen tin whistles into the bargain. He however, got more curses than coppers, until some wag, who had plenty of cash, and liked to see the sport go on, lent him the two hundred dollars out of sheer mabce; though, as it afterwarJs turned out, the Yankee had money enough about him, and was merely playing the possum all the while. His next object was to borrow a saddle.— Here, also he was accomipudated, and taking Sleepy Davy from his tin cart, he scr rallied upon hisback,and took his station on the coarse. You neversnw a fellow sit a horse so awkward ly in all your life. Every body said he would fill before he had gone a hundred yards; and some out of compassion urged him to withdraw. ‘Not by a darned siglit,’exclamed he—Why you do think I’m such a tarnal fool os to pay two hundred dollars, and then not run arter ail. Others, who wanted to see the sport, thought it should cost some broken bones, encouraged him to proceed—saying, as they laughed aloud? that they had no doubt but he would carry off the purse. •That’s what I mean to do,’said lie—I hnin’t come here for nothing, I can tell you. Wake up, Sleepy Davy and look about you; you must have your eyes open to-day, it’s no time to be snoozin when there’s money at stake.’ The horse, as if he understood what his mas ter was saying, opened his eyes, pricked up his ears, and actually showed some signs of life. Tiie signal was now given to start. Away sprang Southron, with the speed of lightning, & away sprang the other Southern horse, leaving Sleepy Davy far in the rear, and the pedler verging from side to side, as if he was just rea dy to fall off. The horse went pawing along with hts tad clinging close to his haunches and his nose stuck out straight before him; and you never beheld so queer a figure cut by any tin and horse us this singular pair made. But they improved as they proceeded—the pedler sat more jockey-like, and the horse evi dently gained upon the others. But it woul not do. He came in nt least half a mile behind Southron, and a little less behind the other. It Was now thought that the Yankee had got enough of trie race, and would withdraw befor the next. heat. Contrary to all expectation, how ever, he persevered, & even offered to bet thousand dollars on the issue of the race. ‘•Toe fellow’s a fool,” said one. “He dont know which side his bread is well buttered,” said another, “or else he would’nt risk any more money on so desperata a stake. “He’s safe enough there,” said a third, “for he has no more money to risk.” Here, however, every person was mistaken again, for the pedler hauled out an old greasy pocket book and planked the thousand dollars It was covered ofcourse. But 1 confess I now began to be statrgered; and to suspect the Yau kec was after all more knave tlmn fool. I had no fears, however for the purse. Southron was not a horse to be distanced in one day, ntd especially by such a miserable looking devil as Sleepy D >vy. The seco-d heat was now commenc 'd—and ifl had before felt confident in the entire super iority of mv noble horse Southron, that co4 donee was strengthened, as 1 again saw him coming in ahead of the rest. 1 considered tt>e purse now as my own property. In amagioa lion 1 had grasped it. and was about putring it safely in my pocket, when—lo, and behold the pedler’s horse, which was belvndal! the resl suddenly shot forward as if the devil kicked him on end; and stretching his ueck like a crane won the heat by ahead. Every body was astonished. “That horse must be (lie devil himself.” said <>ne. “Atleast lie has the devil to back him,” said a thirl—“I was sure lie would play you some Yankee trick before he got through.” Such was the obser vations that passed from mouth to mouth. The Yankee, in the mean time, offered to plank another SlOOi); but nobody would take he bet. And it was well they did’nl; foi at the third heat. Sleepy Davy not only distanced every horse, but even came in a foil quarter ol a nvle ahead of Southern himself. There, Jiy gauly!” srid the Yankee, as h dismounted, “I’ll take that are leetle purse if you please, and the tother cool thousand!

That we regard the Quintuple Treaty as a deeply devised plot of the British Government against A- merican commerce, and as an attempt to alter the laws of nations for the sole benefit of a power arrogating the urn- pire of the seas, and which, if carried into successful ope ration, would have inflicted a fatal blow upon the shipping imereatof New York and every other American port; and that the PEOPLE ofthe United States, and especially the whole body of American merchants, owe to the sagacity, firmness, and address of General Lewis Cass, the VETO that Was interDused against that gigantic scheme ol RAPA CITY and PERFIDY.

That while the theory and structure of our po litical institutions proclaim that THE PEOPLE govern themselves by agents of their own uhuice, we, tim demo cratic voters of me city of New York, cannot imagine the right of any man or combination of men to usurp such g»v- ernmeut, nr to direct the people in ihe choice ofauclt agents. Resolved. That, as no exercise ofthe popular will is inure important titan the election of a Chief Magistrate ofthe Uni- on, such election ought tn proceed from the PEOPLE, tno- . g spontaneously and f eely.

That, as American citizens, we feel deeply in- terested in the pnsperity of our whole country, east. west, north, and snutlt and ns democrats.deeply interested in the union and integrity of the democratic party, as easeutial to that prosperity. Resolved, That, regarding the present political aspect of the civilized world as highly important to our country, as involving, immediately or remotely, its vital interests, we feel the necessity of electiug a President whose political and personal character will insure an administration of the national government that shall command respect abroad, and insure prosperity at home. Resolved, That we recognize in the eminrnttalent, devo- J patriotism, various and important publi- services in the field and in the council, and the private virtues ol General Lewis Cats, the qualities necessary for the executive ad ministration of the national government, in the present event- I period or the political world. Resolved, That the restriction of the Presidency to a ten- ureol'ONE TERM, is eminently democratic in principle and tendency, and ought to be recognized as a fundamental principle of the democrat c creed ; and that as democrats, we gratefully acknowledge as the first President of the Uni ted Biaies, who officially proclaimed this principle, GEN ERAL ANDREW JACKSON. Resolved, That, in GENERAL LEWIS CASS, we recognize the democratic principles which characterized the administration of Thomas Jefferson, by whom he was ap pointed loan important public trust; and of James Madison, under whose commission he rendered eminent military ser vices in the last war with Britain, and gained the first vic tory for our country in that memorable contest; and of James Monroe, under whose authority be successfully con ducted important negotiations with the Indian tribes on our Northern Ironticr ; and of Andrew Jackson, under whom he presided honorably and efficiently over the War Depart ment. and by whom be was sent as the national representa tive to France, where he saved the commerce of the coun try from the gigantic and artfully devised schemes of our great maritime rival.

These are remarkable extracts.

If so, most especially must we revere our own history. Like Washington, be is firm. Like him. he has always been ready for et ery risk when duty called for it. His acts in council and in the field give incontesttble proofs of these attributes; whether in braving danger, whilst the fierce and ciafty Indian was dogging his footsteps in our native forests or whilst as volunteer aid of Harrison, he impetuously char ged the veteran ranks of the British, nt the same moment when the gallant Johnson overthrew their Indians; or whe ther we behold him on the erect theatre of Europe,batfling by the powers of bis mind, and doing it singly, the combi nations of crowned heads and their' ministers against the rights and interests of his country.
