In the firm convicham, a minister of the gospel in John Hancock's day, and who now is, in his old age, an industrious and worthy farmer, stated that prior to his entering the ministry, he voted for John Hancock as Governor of Massachusetts, but after his entering he ceased to have any thing to do with political affairs, as it was then considered by the people to be incompatible with the duties of a learned divine for him to meddle with politicks, as it would tend to suggest prejudice in the minds of the laity. He adhered to these then prevailing sentiments for a long time after he left the ministry to pursue agricultural pursuits, until a few hours previous to the election of Morton, when he resolved that he would give him his vote, (the first vote he had given since voted for Hancock,) he did so, and Marcus Morton become Governor by one majority.-Lowell Adver

Beans.-A writer down south, thus discourses of this vegetable. Hear him:

"The people down east are death on beans cold baked beans! boiled in a bag-beans mixed with corn-string beans-beans in all their variety and excellence. They are folks who know beans. On Sunday, especially, do they attack these poor innocent vegetables. A good old Dominie who labored in one of their bean eating towns, made a calculation by which he concluded that he preached to about four bushels of beans every Sunday."

tion of this fact, the people all over the country have turned out to skin the coons and tan their hides. This particular branch of industry requires no protection from the Government, for it flourishes spontaneously in almost every state of this confederacy.

Whig Predictions Reversed.—In 1840 the Whigs of Ohio had engraved upon their banners which they bore through the streets in their procession, the following on one side:

"A sheeps head and twelve and a half cents a day under Van Buren!"

And on the other side: "Two dollars a day and day and Roast Beef under Tip and Ty."

Now we should like to know how many of the "Koons" or "Log Cabin Boys" of Paterson, as they disgustingly term themselves, have seen the fear of contradiction, not one, but on the other hand above promise fulfilled? We state, without the there are many who have gladly seized the pluck without the 12 1-2 cents, these Koons dare not deny.

WHIG DECENCY, PIETY AND ELOQUENCE!—At the member of Congress from Tenessee, spoke of Presirecent whig meeting in Albany, Mr. Caruthers, a dent Tyler, whom he helped sing into office in 1840, as follows:

into means for procuring nourishment, have since gone, article by article, until dresses were not left fit for more than one or two of their number to make themselves public in; and for the last six weeks they declare that not an article of food of any kind except potatoes, has passed the lips of one of them!

I do not wish to have him assasinated. Oh no! But if God in his providence should think proper to take him away hence, we, my friends, should be among the last to mourn.'

Where is the Democrat that would not be proud of such a Wife.

President of a Party.-This was one of the standing objections urged by the whigs against Mr. Van Buren. He was the President of a party.-But now these consistent partizans are denouncing Mr. Tyler as a " Traitor."-Not a traitor to his country. Oh no. But a traitor to the "Whig Party." His treachery consists in not signing a bill a few days prior to the Aldermen's election in SaA FACT.-I was to'd of the following circumstance for a National Bank; an institution, as Mr. Jeffer-vannah.

Both are party nieasures; obnoxious in the highest degree, to a large majority of the people. And for refusing to sanction these; for obeying the will of the people, rather than the wishes of the Whig party, president Tyler is stigmati zed as a traitor. How very consistent!

friend of yours has been here again, inquiring for "Well," said a wife to her husband, "that good you-he told me, positively, that the whig party had come to the conclusion to support only persons who would vote the whig ticket for aldermen, and that my husband would either have to vote in that way, or lose his place upon the city watch. I told him that my husband was a democrat, very poor, and very dependent; but, poor as he was, his family cared not a fig for man's proscription, that to God we looked for blessings and not to the whigs, and rather than my husband should be made subservient to any party that his mind and conscience did not approve of, I would, feeble as I am, work at sixpence a day, and subsist upon the verriest pittance. provided for as it was, for he disgraced and profaned "I told him to leave my house, humble and unit by his presence-that none other than the meanest paand most contemptible specimen of human nature, would attempt to rob a citizen of his birthright by appeals to the sympathies and necessities of a wife!"

Keep out of bad Company.-The Boston American recently asked the editor of the Portland American, how his marm did; to which the Portland editor replies as follows:

"She's nicely, and in the enjoyment of good health and a clear conscience, owing to her thorough democracy.

We recollect, when we were to start off from rental influence into the world, how the good old lady placed her spectacles upside down on the tip end of her blessed and venerable nose, and among other excellent advice, warned us, as we valued our peace of mind, to be true to our country and to old Hickory. "Take care of them ere federals, my son. They were tories in the Revolution, and have been so ever since. Don't have nothing to do with them." That's the right sort of "Marm."

If all the aspirants should take the same selfish course, then we must cashier them all, and look out for some more upright champion, from the more unassuming walks of life to lead us to victory. We cannot express in terms too plain and too strong the firm determination of our soul. We trust, too, that such are the purposes of the great Republican party. In fact, we honestly believe that any man who would rather take the other course-any man who would postpone his claims at the present moment-who will bide his time-who will have the magnanimity to recommend another in preference to himself would, by that very act, bind himself by 'hooks of steel' to the heart of the Deinocracy. It was this noble conduct in Crawford towards Col. Monroe, which won to him many, many warm friends in 1823--- Who there so high-minded and so wise as to take a similar course in these extraordinary times?

"Allow me to say that I do not concur with you in the supposition that a native citizen should be preferred to an adopted citizen'-such is not the genius of our government. When the terms of the Constitution are complied with, we should recognize no distinction among our citizens, except such as are justified by substantial worth.-Every citizen should feel that he has equal claims on the patronage and support of the government. Let me hope that for the future you will discard the idea, that because you are an adopted citizen you have not equal rights; but that you will place yourself on the broad platform of American equality, and aspire to that merit known to private and political integrity, and moral worth.

The sentiments contained in the above extract

"Stoppage of the Public Works !"-Who stopped them? The democrats did not. They were stopped-immovably stopped-long before the law declaring that fact was passed by the legislature. They were stopped under the inexorable law of NECESSITY -the contractors and laborers having gone for six months without their pay, owing to the impossibility of negotiating our stocks, under the reckless and dishonest administration of the whigs. In ascribing to the democratic party a policy hostile to improvements, the whig electioneerers know that they do not represent the truth to the people.

Will any enlightened and fairminded citizen of this state of whatever party, after the experience that has been had, and in view of the results now seen and felt, consent to re-exchange this safe and successful policy, for the ruinous, anti-paying, never ending credit system of the whigs?

PAPER MONEY.

One of the best illustrations of the virtues of a paper currency, is the following from a St. Louis

paper.

It seems that a party of gentlemen were telling their "experience," while standing in front of the Gas Light Office, when a well known genius came along, and breaking into the "party," told his story something in this wise:

"Hold your horses," said he, "and if you want to hear the greatest shaving story that you ever did hear, just keep cool. I never have, in all my life, had much money on hand at one time; but a short time before the suspension of specie payments by the Miner's Bank of Dubuque I had $200 of her bills, and when I heard the news of her failure, I thought she would rise again, so I held on to the money. After a few weeks, I saw it was going to ruin, and I determined to get rid of it; so I took it to a broker's, and changed it for Cairo, at thirty per cent discount. This I look on as paying pretty dear for a shave: but the next thing I heard was that the Cairo Bank had blown up; and I goes off to a broker's instanter, and off comes twenty-five per cent. more, and then I had the product of my speculations in the State Bank of Illinois money. Next

And now, whether you believe it or not I tell you, gentlemen, it is the fact, there is the whole remains of my $200."

Upon this he produced two ten dollar bills on the Gauga Bank of Painesville, and exclaiming, "Yes, them two cursed counterfeit notes on the Bank of Gauga are the whole remainder of my money speculation,"-rushed around the corner and up Locust Street, while the whole company went right over to the Tontine and liquored.
