OLD DRUNK ZEN I ooL.--The gtntkman whose
name graces this column, is native of Natchez-
Que OF your real Borachio Bibbers, who
guilty of being SOBER but twice in his ile and then
II said that he deeply deplored the acciden and
was there known to every body who chanced to
spend day or two in that city. His face resem-
nled piece Of fat corned beef-apd indeed il was
generally pretty well corned-and his nose, bore
strong affinity to red hot poker. Never did
Bacchus find a more devoted worshipper-and to
MIN did Old Drunken Tool pay ceasele.s adora-
t,ons. To him, a gallon of whiskey was but flea
bite. and quart OF New England rum placed be-
ore bis lips everescent the scintlllations Of
n meteor. A pint OF ST. Croix, tinctured with DIR.
Sloughon's biters, would scarcely lnoisten his lips,
or sc We for mornings anti jogmatie," and bar
rel of burgundy hook would scarcely produce IN
toXication. He was the greatest Of all drunk
ards-the very prince of guzzlers, and woe to him
that became contaminated with the breath Of his
nostrls, Tor 1t produced almost ins,anta neous me
briefly. To be serious--and extravagance apart,
old Drunken Tool, never had his equal. His bed
as the common streets, lils canopy the Heavens
ana MS pllloW was tne pavement.
Some two months since, old Drunken Tool was
missing, II was supposed that he had in the midst of
one his midniyht orgies, rolled of the heights
aud tumbled into the Mississippi. Such was not
however the fact Old Drunken Tool, had contri-
we'd ways and means to procure passage to New
Orleans where he placed himself under the hands
of Mons. Losieu, the celebrated physician who
cures all kinds of drunkards," and in the course
of two weeks, was transformed into man OF sobri-
ETY.. Although no tears were shed in consequence
of his absence, Old Drunken Tool was missed by
every one, and much enquiry, without the least ef
feet was made alter his fate. But of so
much distinction not destined to shuttle off his
mortal coil thus unceremouously, aud a short time
since he was discovered by gentleman Of Natchez,
ss is thus related in paper published in that city.
"a fw days SINCE, gentleman came passenger
IN one oi the steamboats,, named Tool we have con-
vcr.ed with him, and he he is the iden-
tical man, known by the appelaton Of Old Drunk
en- Foot Ais 7. is now as temperate, as any citi'
zen Of Natchez
When Mr.. Tool returned for he should no lon.
ger be designated by his former appellation-ne was
as sober a man as ever sci Bscchus aud his bever-
age at defiance, though the transformation left some
traces of the wreck OF constitution. his former inc.
briefly had created. Ills nose, instead of beng red
rcsembled the chalky horn Of COW that has lain
for months in an ashes BARREL and his cheeks, looked
like the back Of Surinam snappiug-turtle
From this il will be seen that the medicine OF
Mons Loseu, has cured one Of the greatest OF tip
| lers.

APPRoPRIATIoN.-h will he observed by a refer
to the rooeedings of Congress that the House
Of Representatives, on the 10Th instant, made an
appropriation Of twenty thousand dollars, to the in
divduals who suffered in consequence Of the caam-
itous fire, which has recently visited the city OF Al
ex. ndria. Considerable discussion took place, IN
consequence ofthe calling up of the appropriation
aud it was contested by strong minority, with all
their zeal aud eIequence; but finally the bill sue
ceeded.
Although the friends ofhumanity, and Of liberal
fee hngs, will undoubtedly approx ofths measure'
1t is to our minds papably wrong. We are not
aware that Congress have power to put their hands
thus unceremonousy into the Golfers of the treasu-
ry and deal out their contents whenever they think
proper--we cannot conceive that they can dispose
of the peoples money ut random--just when they
please.
Although we are willing to concede that the act
was gool one-that it bespoke the hu name ieel-
ings OF those who conceived it, and carried it into
operation, we think it furnishes very dangerous
precedent, and one that ought to be blasted M its
bud. II Congress are thus allowed to handle the
public treasure, an to relieve suffering communi-
ties, where will their benefactions end
The House of Representatives have power to
originate loans, to create means for disbursements,
but we exceedingly doubt, if that body can find
any authority in the Constitution to justify them
in this act. The thing was, however, probably
conceived in a moment Of excitement, when the
| gentlemen were influenced by all the kindly feel
|
Of human suffering and calamity, overshadowed
the lights of correct policy, and impeled them to-
wards the making ofa donation, which in their
calmer moments, they would, in their wisdom, have
| refused.

science tinctured with arrogance. Mrs. Koyaii
proie.ses to be inspired by the Muses., whilst Miss
Livermore, pretends to be inspired by the same
power that breathed Inspiration into the bosom OF
Moses and the Evanselists. Mrs. Royal, Is violent
in her feelings, yindctive in her revenge, and ma
lcious in her resentments--Mss Livermore, if you
smts her on the right cheek, turns the left also,-
but then she gratifes herself with obtaining her re-
venge-and revenge is as sweet to her as 1t was to
the man who cut of the ear Of the servant OF the
high priest, as recorded in the oden book-and
you cross her path, do not assent to her p'opo-
stions you are sure TO be recorded by her, on the
black catalogue, which holds up to the world, a
mirror Of the damned.
Mrs. Royal, is fond Of the society OF honourable
men, so is Miss Lvermore, and either, and both OF
them are great .tickers for the reputation Of our
sex. Mrs. Royal is some years in advance OF hity
Miss Livermore has not yet counted thirty. Yet
there is q remarkab BILE coincidence n their history.
Mrs. Royal is fond ofcold water, and has frequent
ly offered up hearty libations Of the pure liquid
from the spring at which Roger Williams used to
quaf, so has Miss Livermore and both Of them have
received the hospitable attentions Of our worthy
and much esteemed friend, the Hon. Wheeler Mar
tin and they beth agree in asserting, that he is the
mos, interesting man they ever met with. When
Miss Livermore preached in this town. the Honora-
ble Wheeler Martin, sat on the steps leading to the
altar, and when she addressed The multitude, at
Washington, the President Of the United States,
listened to her he sat the stairs leading TO the
Speakers chair. What remark kable condolences!
the last remarkable coincidence, in connex ion
with these two ladies' that we shall mention, is that
Mrs. Royal smokes a long pipe, and Miss Liver.
more chews tobacco. This is an age of co,nci-
dences !! MIS-. Royal is now in New Haven, Miss
Livermore is in the city Of Washington. Mrs.
Royal is haitian ideot-Miss Livermore is a whole

tney woui bolster into power, and who see'i not
the good of the people. but strive to graft
fy their own se6shness and ambitious aspirations.
We appeal to the country interests, aud we beg of
them to reject, before they unite themselves with
faction, to perpetuste ignorance and judicial insig-
nifcance-to remove men Of talents AMI education
from their places Of responsibility, and to continue
in Office those who never did, and never can, by rea-
son ftheir mental liabilities, discharge faithfully
the trusts committed to them.
We offer no dic;ation-when we appeal to them
to know, il they repose the hast confidence In
thu legal attainments, or legal abilities Of the mem
hers Of our Judiciary, and we ask them in serious
ness if they are willing TO commit their disputes to
the adjudication of men, who ignorant Of the
law, as they ofthe language Of the anliPodes-
and who. however willing they may be TO impart
equal justice and equal tight are incapable Of doing
so.
Before close this essay, it will be well enough,
for the sake of recording facts to state, that Mr.
SENATOR FIELD, Of Cransion, Mr.. Senator
BROWN, Of johnson, and Mr.. Senator WHIPfLE,
of Cunber land, ali delegates from this county, op-
posed the Judicial reformation, and have united
with the faction opposed to the reelection Of Mr.
Bmgts.
These things We hope will be remembered by
the people, and although, it is not probable, that
the re-electIsn Of these honorable gentlemen, Can
be obviated, it is hoped. that the freemen Of this
county, will, when they proceed to the polls at
the annual election Of State Officers, record their
votes against :hem, that they may be taught, that
they have violated their trusts, and excited tho in
dIgnation Of abused constituents.
We are aware, that in thus writing against the
subject under consideration, We find ourselves sail
ing in company with another paper, printed IN this
town, and we assure our friends that the coincidence
/. purely occidental. The question Wa, taken up
by US more than four months since-soon after the
commencement of this paper, and If We now find
others walking in the same path, it is source OF
qualification, to us that Others coincide with our
opinions though we should, if we had the pow er,
select almost any other paper, than the one with
which we find ourselves associated, in combating
false and erroneous principles.
To do the gentleman Of the paper in allusion,
ample justice, we must remark that the article con-
tniEed in the Thursday publication, was one OF his
happiest efTorts-it breathed air Of independence
which we did not think he possessed, and was i is
tinsuished by quantness and sarcasm which mus;
have oeen worm wood to the individual-we do
not mean The reputed editor of The Patriotic
