SaAA\ing 20 Perfection.

TIyHOMAS G. PRETTYIAN has lately Patented,
Il and is now Manufacturing, a Spring Saddle, much
superior to that have hitherto been offered to the
public. This Improvement consists in the suspension
of the whole seat by two springs, similar to gig
spring. which being screwed on the back part OF the
canle ofthe saddle, receives an iron bar forming the
sweep of the cante; thus preserving from receiving
any njy by horse rolling in the saddle; and making
the saddle tree more firm than it would otherwise be:
which cannot fail give to both horse and rider
frame also enters the back of the cane of the saddle,
calculated to the vace por,manteau, and keep
it entirely clear of the horses back. This can be put
on or removed in moment.
In order TO prove the public the superiority OF these
Saddles he will give few extracts OF letters from
those who have them in use-amonS whom is the late
President of the United States:

is not very complimentary TO the "highly cis-

PERSON." This is positive; and, if Mr.. Buch-
anan be Of sound mind, it must be acknowledg
ed to bear directly against the doctrine held by
the "Combina,ion" printers. In continuation
Of Mr.. BIS declaration that he acted on his own
individual responsibility, and not as the agent
Of "anv other person." we may state that we
have perused a letter from an eminent cllIzen
Of Pennsylvania to a gentleman in this lown,ln
which the W<i4er says-"Mr Markey | have

OF respect TO another to counteract il is TO give
10 that other direct insult. The more mys.
ticai the language is that is used on the occa.
sion the worse, the more dishonorable.
Men who intended nothing disreputable
would either state their intentions distinctly, or
| say nothing about the matter. This is wha,
men oil honor would do. How easy would il
have been to say as the friends Of the Admins
trauon said-We intend 10 give dinner, Ho-
nest purposes are never wrapped up in the Ian

Mr.. Clay's arrival should move both friends

profound impression which his gigantic talents
have made upon the public mind than any
thing that has heretofore occurred to him IN
the whole course of his life. His enemies,
whatever have been their intentions, have al

To stand high in political life, and be with

or OF something worse: the intensity Of opposi

is usually proportioned 10 The energy of his
character. 1t is, as in the natural world, a re-
action ploportioned to the force of the impul-

those who are guilty of them; and be it remem-
bered that above all outrages, the worst are
menaces.
