Who is King 3 ?
BV J. B. MAYNARD.
There is a host of men who boast
Of Powder, Cotton, Steam,
But every hour the mighty power
Of Printers’ Ink is seen;
It moves the world as easily
As does some mighty thing,
And men proclaim in despots’ cars
That “ Printers’ Ink is King.”
The man of gold, of wealth untold,
Printers’ Ink may -scorn,
Nor knit his brow, or deign to bow
To one so lowly born ;
But Printers’ Ink has built its throne
Where mind its tributes bring;
And God’s most gifted intellects
Shout “ Printers’ Ink is King.”

Mr. Clay’s Quarrel with Gen. Taylor.
The following scrap of history in the
Binghampton Democrat of October 13,
from the locality and the personal famili
arity with the relations of the great men
named, which is exhibited in the com
ments, is ascribed by the Bnffalo Com
mercial to the pen of Daniel S. Dickinson:
“ Among, the causes of cstrangemeut
between Mr. Clay and Gen. Taylor, and
probably the great and final onc, was this:
Mr. Clay, it may be remembered, had a
son inhumanely butchered at Buena Yis-
ta, in the Mexican war. That son left a
widow and a promising, manly boy, of
some sixteen or seventeen years. This
boy was anxious to be appointed a cadet
at West Point, and receive a military ed
ucation, an.d his request was warmly sec
onded by his mother and his grandfather,
Henry Clay. Henry Clay thereupon wrote
to Mr. Polk, then President, and his suc
cessful rival for the station, requesting the
appointment of his grandson as a cadet at
large. Mr. Polk at once ordered liis name
to be placed on the list for appointment,
and it was done, but Gov. Marcy, then
Secretary of War, upon the examination
usual in such cases, found that he was be.
low the requisite age to enter the Acade
my, and the rules of the War Department
were too imperative to be altered, and his
name was not, for that reason sent to the
Senate. Mr. Polk, however, placed on
the files of the War Department a Irtter

tween Europe and the others, the compar-1 hundred and thirty-two, and the demand
ison would be ludicrous. The Island of j for more is on thg increase. This state of
Great Britain, small as it is—a mere ad
junct to Europe—has ruled Asia and Af
rica both. England is one of the largest
Iron producers amongst Nations. Com
pare the nations of Europe, which is most
respected ? but those who produce -and
use Iron in largest profusion and greatest
variety. France, Austria, Germany and
Russia, and Prussia ; and tfiose are civil
ized in proportion to tlieir population as
compared to their products. It is true,
that in comparing these, another proposi
tion equally true in Political Economy has
its influence, to-wit: A nation is great,
all other tilings being equal, in proportion
to its power to manufacture generally, and
no Nation is ever great without.
What was America, with her vast ter
ritory and countless hordes of Indians, be
fore Iron was introduced, and where did
we find the most savage barbarity, but
amongst these Indians who keow nothing
of Iron ?
Now that civilized Europe, lias planted
hc> colonies in America, bringing Iron
and its products with the power to repro
duce both, where do we find [tower, inde
pendence and greatness concentrating? in
the United States ? or South America ? in
the North, or in the South ? in the Iron
and Manufacturing districts, or in the ag
ricultural States ? The slightest observa
tion will show. Where do you find the
greatest power for defence or attack ?—
the largest accumulation of the. elements
of National Wealth, Labor and its Pro
ducts ? You find it in, or contiguous to,
those localities where Iron and the varied
products of Iron are produced in richest
abundance ; and there, though limited in
territory and inferior in soil and climate,
Tests the jiuwtT uf "HrghshttfTC cunt nil* hr
the Union.
Having demonstrated the truth of this
fifth proposition, we will, in our next, as-
things has been brought about by small
fry politicians who aspired to a supreme
local influence—a seat in the Legislature
and the division of the spoils consequent
upon the necessity of a number of new
offices.
The result of it has been to make both
branches of our Legislature overgrown
and inefficient bodies, to foist upon the
country unjust and unwise legislation, and
to burden the people of the new counties
with ail onerous and unnecessary tax for
tiie erection of Court Houses, Jails. &c.—
Indeed, to such an extent has this thing
been carried, that in many counties the
emoluments fro u the ofiiecs of Clerk,
Sheriff, &c., are of so pitiful a character,
that is impossible to find competent and
reliable men to fill them—a fact which tiie
least observant must at once see militates
against the proper administration of the
laws and the economical conduct of the
Government.
For some time back public attention has
been called to the rapid growth of our
Senatorial branch, and so thoroughly a-
Vakencd is the popular mind upon the
subject, that nothing short of its rcduc.
tion will satisfy the mass of the people.—
The first, best and strongest step, in our
judgment, to be taken in that direction,
is to stop now, the creation of new coun
ties, or if any more new ones arc to be
made, let them be made by consolidating
two or three old ones.
Another abuse not quite so glaring or
so generally felt, thougli more dangerous
in the consequences to be apprehended, is
the pardoning of criminals.
We have no hesitation in saying, and
this we believe to be the popular verdict;
mat mis power lias, \vUWfn ITic Iqgt few
years in several instances, been most un
wisely and unjustly used.
We shall not now stop to argue the pol
sign some of the reasons for it In those ’ icy, propriety, or even the abstract right

Marked Cards.—A Lesson tor Ghees
Horns.—A party of thieves were arrested
in Rochester, N. Y., a few days ago. The
Democrat says:
“Among thc articles found on the pris
oners above referred to were two packs of
playing cards, accompanied by the follow
ing directions, which we print for the ben
efit of such deluded persons as are occa
sionally tempted to take hands against
gamblers. The first is a printed slip, ap
parently sent by thc manufacturers of the
cards to the black leg purchasers. It reads
thus:
“ ‘ For Size—Place thc four aces, kings,
queens, &c., together. Look at the place
marked ‘Size.’ On the sample card sent
with this you will observe that there is a
variation in each figure, commencing with
the ace, and so on to the deuce. When
learned each card can be told, as well by
the back as thc face.’
“ Another piece of paper, containing
additional directions, reads as follows:
“ ‘ These are marked on the spread
principle. There is a wider space between
the bars at thc place marked 1 for the
aces, at 2 for kings, at 3 for queens, at 4
jacks &&, down to the 2 spots. Learn wel^
before playing.’ ’*
