IRISH CHAR ACTER.-Thevc versatile orr
rinality of character, for which the lower or

often been noticed i'll England, as we'll as on
the Continent and it seems agreed that they
possess clearer perceptions, and more intel
lcct than are to be found in the same class in
any other i'll Europe. Many anecdotes illus
trativc ofthis character, may berclatcd. The
following, ndicrons as it may appear, is a
real fact g A poor lrshman, unable to OBJ
tain work attached himself, for a mere mi
ser;tble subsistence only, to an English stroll
ling company of players, with whom he play
ed many parts--sticker Of bills, baggage
drawer, scene shiftcr, &c. Arriving at the
town Of Taunton, as soon as the necessary
dispositions made for opening their treatre,
Pat was despatched to post the bills, and an
nouncc the performance which he did iii the
streets, and the market place, i'll Il strong
sonorous voice. "Wcll done, Paddy we'll
done !" exclaimed the mob. Pat was heard
with attention, and every thing went on well,
until an unlucky wight cried out /" Paddy
No-Shirt !" which was at once echoed by an
hundred voices. Poor Fat become silent his
honor was deeply wounded; lie retired,
quite depressed, to his quarters, pursued by
the rablc, vocifcrating "P.lddv No-shirt 2,
Pat was known to possess hiad and warm
heart, and WAS fayorte with the company ;
they tried to console him One asked him
Why lie did not repcl the insults Of the mob.
"By my SOUL, said PaE, "my tongue could
not speak, because what they said was true ;
this two months have had but half shirt,
and It is now in rags" Before night, howey-
er, honest Pat, 10 his great JOY, found himself
master Of six good shirts, carh Of the actors
having presented him with onc.-Whcn the
period Of the ncAt performance arrived, Pat
sailed forth, in high spirits, to proclaim it
as usual; he was hailed with cries of" Pad
dy No-S,hit." Arrived in the market-place,
he stood erect, and surveying the crowd with
a fierce indignant eye, he stripped himself,
and counting down his shirts Gall of which he
had on one, two, three, &c. in a voice oi

90 to the dwellings Of distress
I, Go the couch where sickness lies
Reach forth thy hand to helplcssness,
And bid the child of sorrow rise.
Through the lone wilderness ofycars,
A pilgrimage of griefand pain;
His whole viaticum is tears,
Shed like the dew OH rocks, i'll vain,
Misfortune still hath follow'd up,
And misery met me on his way;
Large drs,ughts from whose most bitter cup
Are yet his portion day by day.
Yet whose nobility of soul,
Exalts you to . rank most high
Who sees the tears of anguish roll
From pale aftiiction's languid eye
Eo and your wanted solace yield
Give-and to you it shall be given
To You the promises are scaled
Of great rewards in earth and heaven.

VARIETIES 0P CALCULATION.
The North Carolina Fayetteville OBJ
server gives Mr.. Adams l54 electoral
votes--thus unnecessarily orsrdoing the
business, for i9i were sufficient to elect
him.
The Philadelphia Observer, equally
sanguine, with its namesake, though in
behalf of another gentleman, calculates
on the election of Gen. Jackson by the
same overwhelming majority--to exc
out which. the Observer is reduced to
the necessity of casting Virginia into his
scale.
The Philadelphia aurora at last de-
clares itself in favor of Mr.. Clay and
avows its belief that "Mr. Clay will be
the highest on the retarn to the House Of
Representatives"
Thus IRE go--Now, the friends Of Mr.
Crawford too entertain the most sanguine
expectations of the result. They conf
IDENTITY rest upon the conviction that he
will be the highest on the return.

Whereupon the gentlemen above ma.
med retired, and after short period re-
turned and submitted TO the meeting the
following resolutions, which were unani-
mously adopted
Resoiced, as the united sense OF this
meeting, that the sound American prin-
ciples, the public services and distin-
guished talents of HENRY CLAY,
point TO him, above all other statesmen
of the present day, as a suitable success
sor of the present venerable Chief Ma
gistrate of the nation; that in him are
combined all those rare qualities which
are calculated to give character to the
government Of great and free people
and we do therefore most cordially and
earnestly recommend him to the Ameri-
can public. and particularly to the MEM
bers of the Legislature of this state, as
suitable candidate foi the Presidency of
the u. States.
RESOLVED, That we deem It OF the ut
most moment that the important station
of our Vice President should be occupied
by citizen whose qualifications would
enable HIM TO fill the chair of the Chief
Magstracy with honor to the nation
and to that end, as our great and popu-
lous state presents in her present Chan
ceiior. an individual! whom the people
have delighted to honor, and whose
services, merits and attainments have
given him fast hold upon the gratitude
and the admiration of his fellow citizens
Therefore, NATHAN SANFORD
is recommended as candidate for
the Vice Presidency of the United
States.
Resolred, further, That our fellow
citizens throughout the Union, and par
ticuiarly of this state, who are the friends
of a real american policy, who admire

ter, frmness of purpose, and purity of

And .rhereas, it is expected and be-
leved, that although the Legislature
have reserved to the selves the power
of choosing the next electoral college
for this state, they will not, as Republi-
cans, be deaf to the voice and wishes of
their constituents; and it is believed that
they will as formerly select the electors
from the several Congressional districts.
TIL refore,
Resotrsd. as the sense of this meeting,
that the Senators from the Sth district,
and the members Of Assembly from the
counties of Steuben, Allegany and Cat
taraugus, be respectfully requested to
submit to the consideration of the Legs
latuie, as candidate for the situation of
Elector residing in this congressional
district, some known Republican, whose
character, political principles and avow-
ed preference, will afford a sure guarantee
that his support will be given to the cam
didates now nominated.
find whereas, it will become necessary
to choose two electors, more especially
representing the state severe gnty in the
electoral college, and it is probable one
of those two will be assigned to the wes-
tern part OF this state-Therefore, Re
solped, that
Gen. PETER B. PORTER
be and he is hereby nominated and re-
commended as one of he two extra
electors and that in naming 6 en.Porter,
without presuning to make any invidious
discrimination. we are governed not only
by regard to his high standing in soce-
~, but by desire TO give an earnest that
the preference herein expressed is of no
equivocal character.
Resolved, That these proceedings be
signed by the Chairman and Secretary,
and that the publishers of the Steuben
Farmers Advocate and Albany Argus,
as wellas the printers of all other pub
lie journals, be requested to publish
them gratuitously, and as early as pos
