On leaving this ungrateful world, I make but only one request— I ask its silence : in the grave Let me and mine together re»t. Till other times and other men Can justice to my memory do. Till ages shall have slumbered by. And reason can my acts teview.

THE ANATOMY OF THE LOU CABIN. . Our simple minded anceslors were not aware, lit?! in the sel«ction of the head of the Government, the particular species of house, in which the candidate lived, was the point of supereminent interest. They were so benighted in the mists of ignorance, as to suppose, that a man dwelling in a stone house, might be honest—that the inmate of a frame tenement might he w ise, and that even the occupier of a brick struc ture miirlit, l»y possibility, be competent to (ill the highest functions. In a!! this they were wrong. It is true that Washington did the State some service at Trenton, at Monmouth, and at York town; hut Wash ington lived at Mount Vernon, and llie house there is not a locr cabin. Mr. Jefferson, it lias been sup posed, contributed something towards the indepen dence of his country, the illustration of her history, and the establishment of ihe true foundation of repub lican liberty—but it must be admitted, that Mr. Jef ferson labored under the fatal disadvantage of dwell iiuz at Monticello, which house is not a log cabin. In the progress of civilization, it having been dis covered that loir cabinism is the true elixir, llie lotig- soutrht philosopher’s stone—the summum bonum ol the ancient stoics—it is important to analyze the com position of one of these primitive edifices—to di-cy pher ns far as possible, the hieroglyphics of a log cab in. Some persons, who have not sufficiently weigh ed the matter, have asserted that there is no similarity between the Whig party and a log cabin. They are in error; there is a striking analogy between them in six points: First. A log house is constructed of a VARIETY or LOG8, cut down and hauled together, with very little care as the building is in its nature of a temporary character. Oak, gum, ash, hickory, and pine—sound and hollow, green and dry, smooth and knotty, crook ed and straight, light and heavy—ihesc-, all, are ilia hurried, bungling style, joined together. This is all a type of the heterogeneous and incom patible materials of the modern, halched-iip, new fangled, patch-work, bed-qui!t Whig party, Mason embracing Anti-mason, Bank check by jowl with An ti-bank, Federalist hugging democrat, loafers, vaga bonds, Shvlocks, majority men, and the vast swarm of office seekers, “strange bed-fellow s” “pigging to gether in a truckle-bed.’ Second. Any man acquainted with log cabins, is aware, that as the logs begin to rot, they become infes ted with a multitude of BUGS, worms, sawyers, and insects. Sortie of these are known by a peculiar hum ming noise that they m »ke, while boring their way into the logs; these answer to the Whig humbugs, which they make use of when boring their way into office. The family of humbugs is extensive, and lately thev have made a ereat noise in ihe world; but they are fast falling into disrepute with sensible, think ing, honest people of all parties. Of this genus, may be mentioned as familiar examples—the Hone ease, Standing army, Expenditures, Florida war, Blood hounds, Brownson, and the Practical Monarchy. These all, like other dogs, “have had their day,” and now bv general consent, are consigned to oblivion, being kicked down like the bouse-builder’s scaffold ing, having answered the purpose for which they were raised. These humbugs are dead, but their ghosts shall yet survive to terrify those who first gave them being. Thirdly. The Whig parly rcienudes a log cabin in ihe article of SMOKE. A bona fide log cabin, a real Simon pure, is usually but little encumbered with those curious luxuries, windows; few have more than one, and that very small, and perhaps consisting ofa board suspended by leaiher binges, cut out ofan old shoe; and indeed many log houses have no win dow at all. The reason is plain: the house consist ing of logs, to make a w indow you must saw through the logs, you weaken the w all anti endanger its falling down. So it is with Whiggery—only once display its principles, or rather its w ant of principles—show its hand and the w hole fabric tumbles to pieces. 44 Tiie charm tlissolves apace; And ax the moruini; steals upon thenisht. Melting th- tlurkne**, so their rixins «en«et Bejiu t<> chase the ignorant fumes that mantle Their clearer re-.son.” The Whig party is a smoky party—the Harrisburg Convention was a smokv Convention.—Whiggery delights in smoke: and according to the W liigs, the philosophy of governments nothing but the philoso phy of smoke. By this rare invention, men of all creeds and actions, “all sorts and conditions of men,” fish, flr:b and indifferent red herring, may co-operate under cover of a dense fog of smoke, and with a clamor of spoils! spoils! burst into the citadel and divide the prize money of llie victory. In fine, the Whig doc trine as deducihle from the Whig practice, is; that the only way to govern men is to smoke them, and the only way to argue with men, is to throw ilust in their eyes. Accordingly one of the presiding genii and tu telary gods of ihe log cabin of Whiggery is thetur/— a bird fund of darkness, afraid of light—apt to look very big aud wise, and a habitual poacher and noto rious devourer of young chickens. Fourthly. Log houses are commonly erected by what is called a log rrwuiig party, wlu> accommodate one another with an understanding of this sort: “If you will help me to lift my logs. I will help you to lift your logs;" and the custom is to lift the logs, whether rotten or Sound, hewed or unhewed. So the Aboli tionist of the North, under the broad protective mot ley banner of Whig-federalism, ar« associated with the Southern Slave-holding Whig, Bank with Anti bank, Internal Improvement w-itli Anti-Internal Im provement, Tariff, with Anti-tariff, &a\, Ate., positive and negative, white acre and black acre. Zenith and and nadir, ebony and topaz, arctic aud ami-arctic, odds and ends, all together, conglomerated by w'con currence of atoms’ not ‘fortuitous’ but attracted by the hope of office or gain. At these log raisings, where cider is freely drunk, the men sometimes light, and the frolic breaks up in a row. So the Whig party may come to /og-gerbeads, get by the ears, aud the curtain may fall on a grand battle-royal among the devout idolaters of the hero ol Tippecanoe. Then >hall the spirit of Whiggery exclaim ‘•I’ll break my staff, Bury it certain fathoms in the eaitli, And deeper than did ever plummet sound I’ll drow n my book.” [id. est- Tippecanoe Text Cook J Fifth, Log houses arc daubed with ClaY- Tlji» clay will last for a w hile; hut w hen it comes to be scorched by the rays ofa summer sun* or pinched by the rigors, ofa winter’s frost, the clay-daubing cracks* falls to pieces, amid great dust, being tuit< uipered and without any principle of w bat chemists call the attrac tion of cohesion.—The spoils will not make them co here, because over the spoils they will quarrel, and the disappointed office-hunter will retire, like 4 Ibui- islied wolf with fierce vindictive eye and ferocious growl from these w ho have denied h in his expected njorsel of the federal carrase. The log cabin wiil fall; “inene mene tekel upliarsin” is already written over its door- wayj'it-,vi!l fall, anil ‘threat will be the fall thereof.’ Sixth and lastly. Whatever may be ti e other pecu liar features of a log cabin, it is certain that of all places on eartii, a sealed log cabin is the worst harbour for rats—it is a complete rattletrap. It is »«riou»Iy to be apprehended, that the Whig party will turu out to resemble a log-house in this particular. We advise General Harrison to procure the pti'ent arcanuq) for catching rats by the basket-full. Already we star the vivacious squeal of the ravenous Norwegian ol- fice-htinter, as w ith keen sagacious nose, and tho eyo ol a lynx, he peers through the cl inks of the'log cabin and snuffs around the purlieus of the treaaurv-vrib, and scrutinizes each nibbled bole aud dark cranny, and solaces himself with goitlt n dreams ofa paradise of rats that is to be ushered in, under the auspices of Harrison and Reform, w lieu cats shall be extermina ted, and the great federal rats shall enjoy at) exclusive monopoly of all the bank bread and cheese. So en- deth the history of King Log, the epilogue of Whig- gery. There are to be four eclipses Of the son Ibis year; aud two of the moon. None of the former will be visible in this country, and even where largest, they w ill be only partial. Both the lunar eclipses will be total, and visible throughout the Foiled States. One occurs on the 5th «»f February; site other on the 2d of August. Mysterious and Interesting.—By the com munication of B. Chew, President of the Male Or phan A-xltim, a recent mysterious occurrence in this city has appeared in print. It seems a boy by the name of (Hirer Grice, who has been some three of four years iu llie Asylum, was on la-t Tuesday per mitted to leave the establishment with a stranger, and neither man or boy has since been si en. The strang er represented to one of the directors that the hoy Oliver was interested in an estate in Hamburg, South Carolina, of w hich estate, the father of the stranger was the executor or administrator. The boy, it was supposed by the superintendent, had a sister living across the river, opposite the town of Lafayette, and permission was given to the stranger to take the boy to vi-it his sister, and on Ins r< turn lie was to give such information as would lie of interest to he known re specting the property of the two children. The man was tali and younrepresented himself as on itis way West where it is conjecturetf, he may have taken ti e boy. Oliver is described as being between 10 and 12 years of age, interesting and de licate, light complexion, light brown hair, and was dressed in dark satinet cl"tb«*?. The president and directors of the institution display much benevolent anxiety concerning the fate or condition of their or phan charge. H«»w forcibly all this falls to mind Dicken’s touch ing story of Oliver Twi-t. In name as well as cir cumstance here we find coincidence and resemblance sufficient to excite a very novel and lively interest. Some mvsterv evidently is connected with this poor orphan’s storv, anti perhaps conjecture could frame notiiing more romantic than is the real history.
