 The Hon. John Pope, late Governor ot the Territory of Arkansas, Is a candidate for Congress H the District against the Hon. B. Hardin. He avows himself d zealous opponent of President Jackson.- .-- Further than this. we know nothiug of his present political opinions.
 We learn from gentlemen. who recently conversed with Gov. Pope, that he Is much exasperated against the administration on account Of the treatment, which he has lately experienced. He says. that his rel atiyes and some of his friends are trying to make the public believe, that he laid down his office in Arkansas of his own accord, but that such silly representations can avail nothing. He asserts, that he very unex- pectedly receiveda a letter from the Secreta- Try of State, informing him, without any waste of words. that the president had no further nse for him. He alledges too, that he was ejected from office at d most eritl- cal period, when he bad been making, in bis executive capacity, some extensive and important contracts, which he was obliged Ito leave incomplete. The presumption is, that the officers of the General Govern ment, selected that particular moment for his expulsion, Tn order. that, if he should dare to raise ihe standard of rebellion, they might blast his character by exhibiting the financial condition, in which he left the affairs of his Territory They deprived him of his office, and, at the same time, took care to provide themselves with the means of assassinating his reputation in tie event of his showing the slightest symp- toms of oppugnatlon.
 We do not wish to be troublesome, but we should really like to know how the Popes here are pleased with this treatment Of the chiettaia of their clan. Is 'spro- scfiptions as pleasant to them as everl Is inc word as beautiful to their tyesl Is it's cadence as musical to their ears Do the groans of their -khsman, whom President Jackson stands ready tn prove pecuator, break upon them as melodiousiy as the old complaints of their political opponents ? One thing IS certain: however much they may writhe in spirit, they dare not nfurnnr aloud. They know, that the first rebelious word would forever ruin the prospects of St. Patrick, the young scion of theIr House. They think of the Governor. and lhou- sand curses leap upward from their hearts, but anon their thoughts turn to the young saint, and the curses pass out through heir half clenched teeth in the shape of equiv ocal blessings. They are handsomely gagged.

Tue Oarang O,aapg.-One of the great est curiosities in this country, arrived at this port yesterday, from the Easl Indess and IS now at Peale's Museum.

A petition for liberty to desecrate that honor- ed edifce by a meeting of the immedia.e emancipationists, signed by the leading spirit of that most miserable of the disor- ganlz.ng factions of the day, was presented to the Mayor and Alderman of Boston, and that body, with feeling and spirit that do 1t signal honor, refused unanimously 10 grant the incendfary request.

The Gazette of Tuesday, in very lengthy editorial article, makes an ostensible attack >on the speech of Col. Fowler, published in the last number of this paper. We say os- tensible, because the speech itself being one of the most able and argumentative produe- tions that has appeared in favor of State Gov ernment was only made the means by which tho editor of the Gazette could covertly make m attack on this paper and the party which has supported 1t, and by which he could effect a general discharge of Billingsgate and slan- ders directed against Col. Fowler, indvidu- ally. For months have they been accumula- ting in the breast of the editor, and for months has he been seeking favorable op- portunity to pour them out upon the head of his victim, and unable to contain them lon- ger. he attacks tho most able thing that has appeared in flavor of the very doctrine he pre- tends to bc so warmly advocating. We should have supposed he had exhausted the whole Newgate Calendar, had we not been promised fresh discharge next week-and when we consider that his talent lies in abuse and his argument in epithet, 1t should be mat ter of no surprise at all that his stock of Bill lngsgate is not exhausted. It is not our in tcntion, however, to make ourself the cham pion of Col. Fowler, in this matter, knowing him, as we do. to be perfectly able to defend himself against any islanders or abuse which may bc uttered by the Gazette,
 The most amusing part of the article in question, however, is the sinuous wriuglinp and twisting by which the Gazette tries to irl- sinuate that the course of this paper has been yacillating or rather that it has not always been in favor of State Government. As ear ly as the summer and fall of ls30, the paper through its editorial columns, and also by many of it's correspondents, advocated this measure, as one which would result bencG-

Her furniture was princi- pally saved. It is considered doubtful whe- ther she can be raised again.

Quick as thought, Lieut.. J. J. B. Walbach, of the United States Navy, plunged into the river to save her. The spring by which he de- signed to throw himself as near as possible to her, owing to sudden eareen of the vessel, was the means of plunging him to q great depth, When he rose, the object of his anxiety was no longer to be seen.- Nearing the spot. however, she was dis cerned sinking below the waves On be- ing brought up, she very naturally clung to the only object within reach, for safety, but unfortunately in such a manner as 10 de- prive him of the power of motion. necessa- " to keep, above water.

 When our renders take into consideration the silence of the Gazette on this subject, at the time the Delegate introduced his billinto Congress; and his silence ever since until he found it was getting to be popular measure, they can easily account for his ssunearthly hatterines to make himself heard.

I've twined bower for thee, love,
 Of myrtle and roses rare, And the woodbine and jessamine tree, love,
 Are sweetly blooming there. When the stars are brightly beaming, love.
 When the moon shines o'er the sea, And the heartless world is dreaming, love,
 Thou hast promised to come to me. But the summer will soon depart, love,
 And the roses will fade and die; And 1t may be the fate of this heart, love, Ger blighted hopes to sigh. When the wintry winds are sweeping. love, Through the bower I've wove for thee; When these eyes are dim with weeping, love.
 Oh! wilt thou THEN come to me!
