a foolish bet, 1‘ nriuHi lain ouc and 1 will
pay lot it.’
’ * Wliat will you have?’ asked the land
lord nl Air. Jones.
•A roast turkey, sir.
The landlord started, but issued li is orders
tu the occupants ot tiie kitchen, 'j hey re
quired some litile time to comply w-ith the
orders. in landlord atnl Jones s.ton made
themselves old acquaintances.’
‘Rather a red la< e that ol yours, landlord,’
said Jones, i bavn’t seeu any thing that
looked liae spring before; tine blossoms,
sir.’
‘You are rather a crooked characterSVfr.
Jones.’
‘Rather, sir ; but not q ;ite so rrool.cJ as
a tree 1 once knew. R was the tallest
ternul 1 ever saw. fcjtaiiding close to It one
day in a thunder slorin. 1 saw a squirrel
ou one- I ihe topmost branch- s. The libht
uiiig struck tlie same branch about tliree
feet above biiu---the sqiiirtel started—the
lightning had lo foilnw the grain, and the
squuret went straight down, bo coufdun
dad cr-cked was t.nit tree sir, that the
squirrel, by my watch, got to the bottom
precisely three minutes before the light
ning.’
‘ i hat’s a lie,’ exclaimed the landlord.
‘A he! true, sir, true as any story ever
was. I niter",i,ns saw ilint tree cut down
and made into rails lor a [mg | a.-ture. The
hogs would craw 1 Enough twenty times in
a day, and so thumb tin’ ciool.cd were
them rails that every time ihe hog* got out
they iound theiuscives in the pasture a
gatn!’
Before Jones had time to relate another
stnry, tiie bell rang for dinner. The turkey
was tin it, flanked on the side hv a huge
dish of potatoes aid on the other by condi
ments id various kinds.
‘1 will thank you, said Mr. Jones to (he
damsel iu waiting, to cook me a f- vv slices of
licet. 1 am afraid 1 shall not be able to
make out a dinner on this.’
'1 lie girl withdrew iu amazement, while
Jones made a most vigorous att.ick.upoti the
low I, which rapidly disappeared before his
advances. Wings, legs, and body were
soon transformed into a skeleton,.ami heap
ed into a large pile beside his plate. Tne
vegetables too, ha- I .sensibly diminished, arid
he h and just laid his hands on au tipple pie
ol uncommon dimensions when tiie girl
made her apperai.ee with the bet f.
‘1 hank,’ y ou said Jones, ‘have the good
ness now to cook me Some pork steaks,
lather rare, and bung me a plate of pickles.
I have ti very strong appetite.’
Tbe gul ni'uppe.iied, tin.l Jones fc I to
again, but with less alacrity than before,
lie managed, however to devour the beef
just as the girl came in with the pork, tiie
pickles having in the mean time been ea
ten.
•Now Miss, I’ll trouble you for some frcsli
fish. Have you tiny !’
Wl lie the girl had g T one to enquire for
tlii-; the landlord, who fiat! been apprized ol
the sad havoc winch had L* in mailt* among
his viands, emeird the room’ At this
juncture id luhiira, the girl entne back with
the intelligence tilt t they had nothing but
pickled salmon.
•Give me half a dozen pounds of that
then.’
Jones lmd already stuff, and himself to re
pletion, and to have saved his life could
scarcely have swallowed anode r morsel,
i lie landlord hav ng heard the last order
thought best to till up as cheap as possi
ble.
•Won’t you have some cider, Mr.
Joi.es !’
•No sir, no I thank you. I always make
it a i ttle iu eating, never to tit ink anything
until I get just about half through.
•Good sir. you'll eat us out of house and
home. Quit now, and yi ti are welcome to
»bai you have eaten.’
,\\ ell a meal is a meal ! hut I presume I
can obtain more at tlie next tavern. Tell’
fi’-t they need not cook the salmon. I'll
take you at your offer.’
It is almost needless to mention that the
landlord soon came to a knowledge of all the
circimistauecs connected with the case, md
that altenvaids he was particularly t ireful
in sell cling upon w hom to exercise
his shaving propensities.

“A companion that is cheerful, and tree
from swearing and scurrilous discourse, is
worth gold. I love such mirth as does not
make friends ashamed to look upon one an
other next morning ; nor men that cannot
well near it, to repent tbe money that they
spent when they be wanned with drink.
And take this for a rule: you may pick out
such times anil such companions, that you
may make yourselves meirier tor a little
than a great deal of money- lor ’tis the
company, and not the charge, that makes
the feast.’’

I will make peace—and that there are yet
many hostile warriors in tlie country. If
so there is little prospect of the war being

who resides on the Oeilla frontier and who
is well acquainted with the country, having

ding near half distance to Fort Andrews,
Henderson, tlie Hospital Stewart, with five
men were fired on by a party of Indians from
a hammock near the road. Henderson and
Parks fell dead. Tlie horse of another of
tfleescort being shot, fell and entangled the i
leg ol his rider in such a manner as to pre- j
vent lit* rising. ()n the near approach of j
the Indians, the horse rose, lfis rider at thp j

ty and the three joined the wagons. One
'nan being sent back to Fort Frank Brooke,
returned with an increased force. They
found the body of Parks horridly mutilated j
his eyes dug out, his throat cut, and other
disgusting outrages committed on his hotly.

GOVERNOR S ELECTION.
Our friends of tiie o| p sumo have a |-
always been disiinguirthcu fur the bold front
which tiny present in the early j art of U e
campaign, 'liny are fully sup| lied »tth
trumpeters who not over cutiscivntj uliß
about tlie false and discordant sounds which
tail from their brazen instruments. 1-,
piool of all this, we remember last year to
have heard ol their brightening prospects
in the Chetukee and upper counties. \\’e
forewarned our leaders then, of the exis
tence of false prophets in the laud. The
same strange announcements aie a"ain
m ide notwithstanding their defeat ©iMast
year isyet fresh in their memory. In alate
number of that iru st veritable Journal, the
“Constitutionalist,” tlie good natmed, pro
sing editor, makes one ot liis correspondents
from the up country, affirm, “That they
are all poor men there, and of course desire
a D inocratic Governor!” Tins dues tol
erably well, but mark tlie conclusion! ‘Mc-
Donald aud Ratification aie all the go”’
Well ! well ! Truly, the world is becoming
wiser rapidly! McDonald a Democrat!
We should as soon ttiink of calling Alex.
Hamilton, or John Ntlains, or any of tlie
blneligbts of the last war, Democrats!
The fact is, that McDonald is not only as
great a federalist as any of the above, hut
he is infinitely more culpable lor liis here
sies. He was raised in a school, the South
eru. where correct ptinciples were taught,
a i l where it must have required more than
j tiie usual tendency to federalism, to have
I led iii in thus astray. And had it even been
(he result of his youthful \» a\ wauluess, it
j mig.it possibly have le-en excised. Rut
1 ti" he carried it with It ini to the bar. and
j upon tlie h< nc!t, and even to the Halls of
onr Legislature. The open avowed friend
of Jno Quincy Adams, in his memorable
conflict with Tro- p, thi.s same Charles J,
ATcDonald distinctly asserted in hi? place,
the tyrannical powers of the Supreme Court
oi the United States. A latiftulmarinn in
the broadest sense of that term, he was
there the advocate of a United States Rank,
both on the ground of its Constitutionality
and expedien-y. Does liis letter, which
is c manned in tills day's paper, show any
change on this subject. We heard the let
ter read before the Convention. There was
not a word in if then, nor i.? there still, on
the question of the Constitutionality of such
an Institution. The fact is, his mind re
mains unchanged—he dodges the question.
Unlike a statesman of high minded, ,lig
nified views, he skulks, he conies not tip to
the mark, but glides off gen Iv, and r.huses
such an institution, on tlie ground of ex
pediency, Until tin n, we confess we had
respected Judge ALT) as a mat) of intel
lect, of honesty and independence. Rut
our faith has lieon immensely slaggared.
What, we ask the honest anti-Rank Union
man. what security have you, that yonr
candidate is not au avowed Bank man in
three days from this lime? Frpedit nrv
•den’s ideas of expediency change some
times ivhh great facility. How do you
know that expidicMy may i ot induce your
Democratic candidate to sliiit his colours
with every moon ? 'Che fact is. that in a
cross road, grog shop Demagogue, stub
principles would do ; but when il conies to
tmki g a tran Governor of a sovereign State,
it wont do lie must be composed of bet
ter materials.
We have said thus much, because Jiulre
McDonald is the candidate of that Party,
which of late, have turogated to themselves
the virtue ot sole consistri cv! He wa*
nominated we are aware, with a view of se
en’ing the Bank influence of the .State. In
this too,they will lie disappointed, 'l’o catch
the ear ot Ins democratic brethren, tlie will
Judge was forced to abuse tiie Rank like i
pick-pocket. This has been seen through.
'1 .ie Bank influence is already dominant in
many places. In others, it is active and ef
ficient in the cause of State Rights. We
arc most happy therefore, in being aide to
assure our friends, th'U tlie Democracy in
tins region, ; refer that good, aide l’epub

have impelled me to mike them. Every
thing depends ou the selection of your
ministry. In every selection,-party and par
ty feelings sho' Id be Avoided Now is the
lime to exterminate that monster called par
ty spirit. By si Acting characters most
conspicious for their probity, virtue, capa
city, and firmness, without any regard to
party, you will go far to, if not entirely,
, radicate those feelings which on former
ocqasio s threw so many obstacle* in the
way of Government; and, perhaps have the
pleasure and ’"honor of uniting a people
heretofore politrally divided The Chief
Ala-i tr.ite of a great and powerful nation
should never indulge in party feelings.
ILs conduct should he liberal and disin
terested, always, bearing in mind that he
acts for the whole, and not a part, of the.
community. By tLis course you will exalt
the national character, and acquire lor
yourself a name as durable as marble. —
Consul! no party in your choice. Pursue
the dictates of that unerring judgment
which lias so long and so olten lenefitled
our country, and rendered conspicuous its
rulers. These are the sentiments of a
friend. They are the feelings, if I know
my own heart, of au undisseinbled patriot.
