INTKttKSTINII ANECDOTE,
l’uuline dc Moulan, a young lady ol
good family in Paris, was deprived o( the
friend who had brought her up, and was
compelled to look out tor sonic source ut
support for herself, She had received a
good education, and, having a taste for
literature, made an attempt to gain her
bread by the use of her pen. She sent
various little stories and other contribu
tions to several of the newspapers ; but
all her pieces were too long or too short,
too grave or too light —any thing, in short,
but entitled to reception. Had Pauline
not possessed uncommon energies, as well
as uncommon abilities, she would have
ihund it iinjKissihle to fight her way through
the briery path that leads to literary suc
cess. Many a time and oft, in the solitary
chamber, she would cast down her pen in
despairing lassitude; but the difficulty of
seeing any better mode ol maintenance
made her always lift it anew, with reviv
ed determination. Her efforts were at
length rewarded with something like suc
cess. Her essays found lavor with the
managers of the periodical paper called
the J’ubUcistt, and die became a regular
contributor to its pages, being paid lor her
labours in such a manner as to maintain
herself in comparative comfort. She be
came even the object of considerable no
tice, and was occasionally an invited mem
ber of the literary soirees so common a
mong the Parisians. At M. Suurd’s, in
particular, a well known member of the
world of literature, Pauline met and min
gled with many of ttie rising people ol
talent, male anti female, in the french
metropolis. Things continued thus until
Pauline fell ill, and became unable to
*ssend her contributions as usual to the l'ub
licisle. Unluckily for her, the capital sup
plied too many young persons of literary
ability to make the cessation ol her la
bors a mutter of much consequence to the
people with whom she communicated.—
But at this moment, a kind though un
known assistant slept in to relieve her
terrors, and save her from falling a prey
to the evils in prospect. One morning,
while musing sadly on her state, she re
ceived a packet which proved, on being
opened, to contain a contribution, in her
own line and manner, for the I’ubitchtc. —
Jt was accompanied bv a note, in which
the writer slated his intention to send her
a similar paper at regular intervals, ho
ping at the same lime that they might be
accepted in place ol her own, until she
was well enough to resume her tasks.—
The hand writing ol the note and paper
were unknown to Pauline, and she could
form no guess who was their author.—
The promise made was (ultiled, howev
er. Articles of a fitting kind were regu
larly sent, and they procured lor the
voung invalid, from the conductors of the
Publicistc, the same remuneration that her
own toils had produced. .11l necessary
comliirts were thus assured to her iu her
illness, and she recovered that health
which distress of mind might have other
wise aided to keep back. Pauline’s
correspondent dropped bis labours when
she was enabled to resume her own. It
may be imagined that her mind dwell
much on this circumstance, and that she
longed to know and thank her benefactor.
She was not long left in the dark. A pale
and slender young man, with a mild and
expressive countenance, culled upon her,
and modesllv revealed himself as her un
known assistant. He was immediately
recognised by the young contributor of the
Puhticisfc as one whom she bad seen at
31. Suard’s, and who had won for himself
the repute of being one ol the most prom
ising young men of the day. , lie also
had seen her at M. Guard’s, and it was
from no common feelings that he had been
induced to act ns lias been related. Af
ter their first interview, they saw each
other again and again, and Pauline soon
learned to reciprocate the affection which
the other had already conceived lor her.
They were married. At this day they
live happily with each oilier ; and while
the husband fills otic of the highest places
in the senate and literature of his coun
try, the wife, while holding no ignoble
station also in the world of letters, is ele
vated high among the matrons of France.

THE CHAMOIS AM) THE VULTURE.
I was descending from the Bernardino
when lie overtook me; lie was in chase
of a chamois that had a few minutes be
fore passed bv me with a speed that was
almost phantom-like. The creature houn
ded 011 like a thing partaking more ol air
than earth; and, evading the shots ol its
pursuer, it darted onward towards the
ice covered rocks, till ii at length came
to a stand on the verge of a precipice, to
whice I could riot have believed any crea
tore without wings could have attained.
But there it stood, with its lace turned
towards the spot where J and the hunter
were standing, butting with its horns as
if defying him to approach. It was even
now scarcely out of gun shot; and the
peasant, unw'lling to lose the last chance
that was left him of obtaining the object
of bis whole day’s toil, crept onward up
the apparently tottering precipices, cl ail
with ice, as stealthily as if be was walk
ing upon down, or the soft heather, lie
was just taking a fatal aim at his intend
ed victiiin, when a lammergheyer wasun-j
expectedly seen soaring through the air,
his eyes fixed upon the chamois, who, in
fancied security, had just laid its toil-worn
frame down upon the frozen surface of the
rock to obtain a few minutes’ rest. It was
a flue sight to view the wheeling of this
tribute-levying bird - of prey as he ap
proached the animal, who was as agile
on the rocks as his steel-pinioned enemy
was in the air; and it was one as thrilling
to behold the repeated attempts at escape
of the terrified chamois, who had no sooner
beheld the approach of the lammerghey
cr than it evidently trembled with terror,
and in desjieraiion (lew with the speed ol
lightning across the rugged plain of fro
zen snows, rushed on from peak to peak,
reached a projection that shelved over
an abyss that was too fearful for even
a poor pursued creature to venture to
leap over; and then no alternative was
left hut the defiance of his leathered ene
my face to face. One would have thought
that the apex of those steep, sharp sum
mits would have been a barrier to the pro
gress of any animal; but the chamois
seems in some instances to bear, like
Macbeth, a half-charmed life; and the
native of a stern-featured country, the
creature, partaking ol its sternness, grap
ples sor > supremacy both with vultures
and mankind. The scene now became
exciting. The chamois, in a state ol
trepidation, paused upon a projection
that looked in the distance as pointed as
a needle. It was the citadel of his hopes;
the last resource it had to look to. To
leap to the next pinnacle of rock was
impossible; to dart forward below was
certain destruction. The natural instinct
of the animal now made him place him
self on the defensive; and the lammer
glieyer, like an exulting tyrant, seemed to
gloat on the defenceless stale ol his inten
ded victim, isolated as it was, the cham
ois still displayed a proud spirit. It faced
its adversary boldlv; and the vulture, see
ing the movements, was compelled to re
sort to something like a ruse dc guerre to
accomplish the object it had in view, h
wheeled round and round in the air, like
a huge atom that had obtained the privi
lege of space; and it feigned to swoop to
| wards the poor victim, who parried these
false attacks w ith bis horns, and appeared
to be resolved to sell bis life as dearly as
possible. The chamois now was evident
ly in a stale of desperation. It parried
these false attacks with its horns, but they
struck only the air; (lie lammergheyer
frightened, but did not strike the chamois;
the latter butted in vain against its steel
springed, feathered adversary, f<»r, with
the advantage of wings, it had the power
to recede at pleasure from every attack.
The. chamois was evidently on its guard ;
but bis very posture,of defence rendered
his position extremely critical, and the vul
ture, whose watchful eyes were ever fixed
upon the animal, swooped down, and by
one stroke of its w ing forced it to the ex
treme verge of the precipice, and then with
another stroke the chamois was hurled
down into the depth below, followed by
the lammergheyer, who with his beak
gave the death-stroke to the trembling
creature, and then proceeded to feast upon
its body and its blood. It was a long
time before the voracious bird arose from
its repast; and when it did, it w inged on
heavily and slow ly over our beads. My
companion, the hunter, took arm steadily
at him as lie passed, and not without effect
whether the wound was deadly, I know
not; but the flight of the vulture was mo
mentarily impeded, and it sunk, rather
than fell, into one of the deep chasms that
intersected the mountains. I sighed for
the fate ofthe poor chamois, thus torn from
its home on the trackless wastes ol snow
where with eyes fine as those ol flic gaz
elle, and agility nearly equal to that ol the
antelope, it had enjoyed its birthright, li
berty, roamed unmolested over rocks I hat
man would vainly have attempted to climb
and as it quailed its pure draught from the
pellucid Alpine stream feared not the ri
fle of the hunter, nor the attack of the
“playmates us the mountain-storm.”

THE NEGRO WHIGS OF BOSTON.
Will not every Bostonian’s blood, who
may lie resident in the South, boil w ilb in
dignation when he sees negro suffrage in
his native city acknowledged and ap
plauded by the leading Whig organ of that
city?
The Boston Atlas, of Tuesday Nov. J 2,
speaking of the vote of the city of Boston,
says:
“Ward Five has done well, as it always
does. So, too, has Ward Six; thunks to
our colored brethren in that ward, who con
tended most, mot^'ully for the B hig cause, anil
ruled, almost to a man, the, whig ticket,"
From the records of crime in that city
on the same day we find this confirmation
in another paper:
Boston Police Court — Tuesday—Charge
of illegal voting. —John R. Taylor colored
man, was brought up on complaint ol Gy
rus Foster, for illegal voting in Ward <i, on
Monday, he, by reason of non-ptymeut
of taxes, not being qualified to vote. Ex
' animation postponed.
Is it possible that fanaticism in Boston
and the mockery of English benevolence
arc about to consummate the deed of amal
gamation between races which the Crea
tor has separated by the great seals of
“Topaz and Ebony,” stamped upon the
skin, burnt into the features, bruised into
the skull, and crooked into the shin bones'
The senses given to all by the God of na
ture forbid this union of the races in the
same contiguity on terms of equal rights.
Sight, taste and smell in both races rebel
against such an outrage against nature.
Admitted to vote in Boston someone of
these Whig negroes will hereafter demand
to be the Presidential candidate of bis
party.
But that and tluit together . — lu the great
Whig procession in N. V. city some 50 or
100 good looking fellows followed a ban
ner with this motto —“ Bachelors till after
the election of Harry of the West.” —
Some ladies in Kentucky paraded at a!
Whig festival under, the banner of “ Whig-,
gery or no husbands!” As both parties
are somewhat disappointed, perhaps they
may compromise by meeting half way.

Tin: many-headed •ti.ot."
.Not even die fabled hydra of old, had
as many heads and venomous tangs, as
have been attributed to the “lcxas plot.
The first alarm w as, that, the r< -acquisi
tion of our lost territory ol lexas would
wound Mexico in a ‘tender part, and
cause an immediate declaration of war.
Next, it was said that Knglaud would take
umbrage, in the event ol annexation : asil
England bad any right to “open her mouth’
in affairs w hich dkfnot concern her. Then
the alarm was sounded that the ‘plot
would annihilate the tree States, dissolve
die Union, and increase slavery. All these
i alarms have been hushed by the force of
calm, unanswerable arguments, and we
presume that none of them will be revived
with any expectation of opposing the will
ol the majority ol the People, now distinct
ly pronounced in favor of the measure, in
the elevation of one ot its cbiel advocates
to the Presidency.
But alarms have been sounded in other
quarters, and in so mysterious a way, that
we are at a loss what arguments to use
to soothe the temtied victims, that wc ve
ry much fear that no interposition within
i our power can save them. Little did we
| deem that “this diabolical Texas {dot’ w as
designed to blow up certain individuals,
and much less those iu an humble capaci
ty, or at least not aspiring to any elevated
positions iu the Government. We must
'confess that it never occurred to us once,
that Mr. Ada ins‘would be destroyed by
the agitation ofthe subject, or in very pity
we should have bad nothing to do with
this ‘deep-laid [dot’ we have the evidence
ol Mr. Adams himscll; in Ins famous
Bridgewater speech, to prove it, us lol
lowct li :
“ I saw dear enough that -faron Yail
Brown’s publication was a deep-laid plot
lor toy destruction; but not till the publi
cation {of diaries .1. IngersoU’s views ol
the Texas question, that it bad been four
teen vears in the breeding, and that it was
also a plot for breeding war with England.’
The reader of course understands ‘Aa
ron Vail Brown’s publication’ to be the
patriotic letter ol General Jackson in favor
ol the: immediate annexation ol Texas;
and we have not tlie slightest doubt but
that Mr. Adams ever since he cheated his
competitor out of the Presidency, in I ''2b,
lias bad a presentiment that the old hero
was destined to‘destroy’ him for it. No
doubt lie is haunted in his sleep, with vi
sions dire, even threatening terrible ven
geance lor the injustice perpetrated on the
occasion alluded to. Every new measure
that is proposed, cvciy old one condem
ned—everv speech delivered, or letter
published, causes Mr. Adams to tremble
in fear of a “deep-laid plot.’ Stjuaniis j
a.stantibus U'/pii.
From Mr. Ingersoll’s indomitable spirit
anti resolution never to tolerate a plot on
the fair escutcheon of his country, to gra
tify the insolent pretensions of Great Bri
tain, whether urged under the pretence of I
philanthropy, and by an ex-l’resident as 1
her chosen champion, or by the force ol
arms, Mr. Adams lias become convinced
that this Representative from Pennsylva
nia is bent on bis “destruction,” and lias
been engaged in ‘a plot for breeding a war
with England.’ \\ e presume that the des
truction of Mr. Adams, will he enough of
itself\ to make England declare war against
us.
But we are not vet done with the hor
rors of this hydra-headed ‘plot,’ and the
celebrated Jackson letter. It was not to
be content with the destruction of Mr.
Adams, but, like the famous ‘gunpowder
plot,’ it was to blow up si whole bouse full
of sages and pnliiots. Even Mr. Benton,
who has j ist escaped from the explosion
on board the l’riuccton. was to be ‘blown
|sky-high’ by diis contrivance. Hear him
in his Bloomvdlc speech :
# * * * “He had denoun
ced it long before to many persons, and
’particularly at die late session of Congress
I to Mr. Aaron Y. Brown, a member of Con
gress from Tennessee, who had vicarious
ly obtained the Texas letter from General
Jackson, and who seemed to be vicarious
ly charged with some enterprise on him
self.
There is a coincidence for you. What
crime had Mr. Benton ever committed,
that he should be ‘charged upon’ with
|some enterprise'? John Quincy Adams,
and Thomas Hart Benton, blown up by
the same bomb !

A. cure for Pulmonary complaints. The
following recipe is not intended to be a
cure for a confirmed consumption, but I
| assure your readers, from my own repeal
ed observations ol its effects, that it will
relieve many pulmonary complaints not
easily to be distinguished in their symp
toms from a consumption, and which, if
neglected would prove fatal.
Let the patient early every morning,
while in bed, drink half a pint of milk,
warm from the cow, in which atable spoon
ful of honey and a table spoonful of French
brandy—or, if that cannot be bail, of other
!spirits, has been lirst mixed, let him
then remain in bed one hour after drinking
it. It will cause a gentle perspiration, pro
mote an easy expectoration, relieve the
cough, and in a few weeks restore him to
perfect health. Many have been by’ this
means restored to health, after having
long in vain tried remedies prescribed by
able physicians. I feel desirous to com
municate this remedy to the public, in
order that others, similarly afflicted, may
avail themselves of it.— Virginia Valley

THE FITI RE.
Wc regret, deeply and sincerely regret,
the disposition indicated by a certain por
tion of the democratic party as soon as
the result of the late election was known,
to make our recent victory bend wholly to
the advancement of particular men and
cliques. The result was scarcely known
; before a set of May-day democrats, men
whose principles have always hung about
them like a loose robe—chiefly the parti
sans of Mr. Wright, in New York and
elsew here, began to claim lor that gentle
man the highest merit for his services in
die late campaign, as well as the right to
die succession in IS4 S . Now we contend
that this is all wrong, and of the worst
and most debasing tendency, come from
the partisans of what man it may ; for il
i the next four years io come are to In-
spect in Piesidcnt-making and cam using
by the leading men ot the party, the Iruits
of the late Democratic vietoiy, achieved
by the people, will turn to ashes on their
bps.
Before proceeding further, however, it
inav be well to state that we are not tin
partisan of anv clique. \\ e arc no man’s
man. We are neither anew light nor an
old hunker iu the common acceptation of
these terms. Our principles are derived
from authorities older, and far higher, than
either of these. The resolutions ol ’lP's
and ’99, and the Republican dot trines
generally, promulgated by Jefferson and
his illustrious compeers, are the tenets of
our political faith; and, while we deem
it our duty to bold ourselves unembarrass
ed for the present, at least so far as this
or that man is concerned for the succes
sion, wc cannot but condemn the attempt
in others to fort-stall public opinion by
prematurely urging the claims of any man
i upon the people. For their choice, as well
as ours, and every other honest Dcmo
!oral in the country, must lie determined
by die future course of men and parties.
In the particular case before us, however,
so far at least as the South and the parlv
igeneially, baring the Albany regency, is
concerned, we arc at a loss to know how,
without degrading itself by renouncing
the great issues upon which the late battle
was fought and won, can they ever sup
port Silas \V right lor the Presidency ;
| whenever the party does that its situation
will he as humiliating and pitiable as that
of die whigs ot Georgia is at present.
Tliev will have degraded themselves bv
abandoning liieir iormer principles, and
lie beaten under the lead of a man w hom
they could not support w ithout degrada
tion. The moment we come to be de
pendent upon the success of this or that
aspirant for the maintenance of our prin
ciples, that moment we become slaves; or
at least have taken the initiatory steps at
becoming the willing subjects of some
artful political demagogue.
This is a state of things w hich neces
sarily exists iii the political corruptions of
the old world; and which, to a great ex
tent in the history of both political parties
in this country of late years, has struck its
poisonous roots in the new. Bui it is in
compatible with the genius of free insti
tutions, and at war with the spirit of re
publican liberty. For ourselves—and in
this we believe we speak the honost sen
timents of a large majority of the Demo
cratic party™we would almost as soon
support for the Presidency any whig that
could be named, Wei sler and Adams ex
cepted, as Silas Wright.
Jn view of the issues upon which the
late victory has been achieved, w ill) his
well known views upon the tariff and
Texas questions, where is the Democrat
that could support Silas Wright? Fel
low countrymen, watch him well! This
is the mail who when the lute nomination
I was made at Baltimore, taunted James
K. Polk with being a fourth rate man, and
joined heartily w'ith the whigs in the sneer
ing enquiry “who is James K. Polk?”;
j Besides, it is well known that the parti
sans of Wright and Van Buren in the
.State of New York, until overwhelmed
by the friends of Mr. Polk, meanly at
tempted to embarrass the success of the
Democratic nominations, because it ok!
not accord with their own personal views,
by disseminating secret circulars anil oth
er documents, against the admission of
Texas into the Union, and the action of
the Democratic Convention upon that
question.
In the face of all this, these very men
arc now claiming all the honors of the
lute victory for themselves, and auda
ciously thrusting upon the country at this
early day, the claims of Mr. Wright for
the succession.
But 't will not do. The people enter
ed upon the great issues which the lute
election decided, with far higher and no
bler view's than mere President making;
and u'e have been long satisfied that in
order to secure to them the objects of their
recent great political achievement, we
would he compelled, after beating the
Whigs, to hold a plain family talk among
ourselves. The present is an auspicious
time; more so than any that has present
ed itself for years, to lop from the party j
and east prone to the earth a class of
politicians in New York, who like the base
mercenary, have always held their swords
ready to fight for the man or party that
pays best. Il was the treachery of such
men—the ultia notions and time-serving
spirit of this vampire-crew, unfortunately
quartered upon the country during Mr.
Van Buren’s administration, that over
whelmed our principles in IS4O. 11 we
would avoid such a result in future—it
the ascendancy and harmony of our prin
ciples are of any value—if we are deter
mined to embrace the truth, and if all our
pledges were not fuliacous deceptions, we
will not fail to profit by the mortifying
experience of the past. The people, too,
have a right and will expect something
more than a barren sceptre from this victo
ry. They expect a healthful, safe, and
well-balanced administration ol the gov-,
eminent. Before God and the country,
die real issues upon which this election
turn'd, was the annnexation of Texas to
the Union, and the adjustment of the pre
sent oppressive tariff to a revenue stan
dard. And while patriotism and justice
alike demand a speedy settlement of these
questions, we are fully persuaded that
nothing short of this consummation will
satisfy the great Democratic’pnrty of the
'South. In the beady lush for office we
well know that there are men at the South
now, as there has been in times past, who
are willing to giv e a monopoly of the priv
ileges and benefits of the government to
the people of the North, in return for the
* petty trappings of eftieial public station.
But the people of the country have long,
too long submitted to the tyranny and in
justice in the American System, and are
|determined that it shall come to an end.
And the day is not distant when the South,
like the dead body of Caesar “marred by
»* ...ni .. ...i,;..i. „.,n
traitors, will start a spirit winch will
move true heaits loi vengeance and re
dress. James K. folk has been elected
President under circumstances the most
favorable- to the speedy restoration ol the j
government to its true principles. He is
not indebted cither for his nomination or
election, to any faction nr clique, but to
the unbought suffrages of his countrymen,
and to principles openly avowed and
cleailv defined, lie will tin relbre entei
upon the discharge ol his official duties
'unembarrassed, tree to administer the go
vernment upon the true principles of con
stitutional Democracy, and may, il he
choose make himself the most popular
Chief Magistrate the Union has had tor
vears. It is a most favorable time, too,
to call into active exercise the high quali
ties of the statesman, as well as tin- inde
pendence of the true patriot. By him
the sweeping tide ol tariif innovation and
aristocratic monopoly which have been
silemlv but surely washing away the ba
sis ol our political fabric, may l»e turned
j back to its source, and stayed hy an im
passable harrier.
By him schemes of legislation, which,
under delusive names have been chang
ing the character of our government and
hastening the consolidation ot our system
of sovereignties into an jumitigled mass
of empire, to become the pre-v of u..bri
dled ambition or scllish gain, may he for
ever overthrown.
By him, landmarks for popular rights
and republican institutions may lit- estab
lished, which will stand as guides for the
legislation of ages to come, it lie is true
to the great principles involved in the late
contest. It is upon this high calling and
the consummation ol such measures as
these, that the Democratic party of the
country should now enter —not President
making.

w c have been delighted with ihe cui

its deadly assaults upon the great “poliii

Utilizer State of the Republican Democracy.
None other, not even the unshaken Gran
ite State of New Hampshire, has casta
majority one fourth as grr-at as hers, lor
“Free Trade—Low duties—No debt,separ
ation from Bunks—Economy—Retrench
ment—a strict adherence to the Constitu
tion,’and For.k and Dal/us accordingly.
To establish her right to bear, in the
i centre ofthe gallant and stern phalanx of
ib-publican Sovereignities, their victori
ous banner so inscribed, it may be salc-lv
estimated that her electoral vote is to he
given by the will ofan actual popular ma
jority ofoo,ooo. Even Kentucky will not
east as huge a majority for her own Clay
as thisofours for the scion which, sprin
ging up among the- briars in Old Rip’s ne
glected garden, was removed from the
parental bosom, which cold now, will vet
waiin to its offspring, b was then grafted
upon the noble stem nfllie old Hickory,
to which l he region ofour “broad PeedeV’
I gave birth and In-roic nourishment, and

genial Tennessee, followed with fond re
gard, and enlarging the glorious gift, nour
ished lus growth and giant bourgeoining
with the unforgeiting pride and Human al

What asks she in return?—Place—Pa
imilage— peculiar favor? None ol these!
None! Nothing hut her equal right—to
lie let alone, the right In hold her ow n —to
sit under her ow n vine and lig-lree unmo
lested by piagmnlical legislation—to bask
m her own God-given sunshine—unshad
owed and um hilled by tin: interloping of
licions wings ot Vampire protection,—to

tic. Sin-claims to preserve t he social state
assigned bv God’s good pro\ idcncc to her
people of both- races,the w hiteman and the
negio, a civilization as advanced as anv
she sees elsew here on the continent ; and
iiulispuiabl-, better than the foul chaos
which influences from beyond lu-r borders
would bring about. Sin- asks nothing nf
man hut to leave her what her God has
given This simple sln-aI alone is all she
demands, when the ripe harvest shall be
reaped on the field, which her ready arm
lias struck tint lit nil y and home in helping
to win. She will stand up and point to it
with lor mil worn sickle. O'her fiiirsis-
ter children of die sun will stand bv Iter
side and point each her several sickle to a
like sheaf made up with like frugality :
and Minerva will w alk among llii-m smi

spirit of the North leave his allotment of

the harvest into his gurnets ol monopoly,

The champion Mercury of eloquence and
