time without success, observed a young wild "'Li. g

since he had captured no fish, to make a trial 01::
luck with fowl, he succeeded in throwing a "girr'
Limerick hook gently over the neck of the bird. °t.ter
went the reel--away squattered the duck—and, aft
a few desperate efforts to escape, she was safe]'

A YANKEE LEADER. •
(From the New York Herald.)
A...Zee?
STATE OF THE COUNTRY.—The sky is deer broth
blue. The sun shines brightly. The western uw'reath
from the hill tops of Jersey is as fresh as the
a." the I
of heaven when the golden gates were opened t"
Son of Man. Congress has adjourned—trade tinc.'
viving—population is increasing—the girls are " ex,
at the watering places—the rotten banks 111,14
ploding—the specie currency peeping out of its h
ting
places—new religions, with fresh deities, star,ins
every day—and cotton, corn, and currency, ge"
lower every week.
Bare
Amt,,g the politicians some curious movenlee---, the
coming to light. Captain Tyler has demolisheu
Whigs—and bids fair to swallow up the democrttit,e
Mr. Clay is the only candidate of the former, and
The
Calhoun and Mr. 'Van Buren of the latter.
0.0, •
Whigs have a plain road—nothing to do but to
ahead with Clay and elect him—if they can. Among
e,..
the democrats, who have gained all the recent e' 6
tions, a tremendous struggle between Calhoun
and
administration Van Buren is approaching. Captain Tyler ana
administration have taken sides with Calhoue_
against Van Buren, Benton, and their associate''
.
This will be the fiercest struggle for a nominationsii:
the Presidency that ever shook the country. C.ne
houn begins the game in gallant style, by carrYe
the war into Africa, and dashing his first blow at
York. In this city, the " young democracy of Altur
rice are perfectly crazy for the great nullifier. The action of these singular elements at Washitl4
ton has produced the new tariff, the new 136er
treaty, the new apportionment, and various 0"',1,
measures. The intrigues and counter intrigues anielif;
the class of politicians called "leaders," will be veil
numerous during the next year,
But let them go on—the country is prosperous";
and he who trades on the cash system—and believe
in God and woman—can always live happily and g:f
rich slowly. This great republic is the garden
Eden among the nations. We have nearly twent,
millions of inhabitants—one thousand millions of (le:
lars worth of annual produce—thirty or forty re_a
gions, and a new one every month—two hund'.
broken banks—eighty millions of specie—two thou
.r
sand financiers not yet in the States prisons—and WU
quantity of fine land, high mountains, splendid rivel;
with a sun and moon, the best and brightest that ev'
took the great circuit of eternity.
