The VALUE OF AcoUA1NTANCE.--Spea-
king Of Gen. Harrison, the recent nomi
nee for the office of President Of thf Unit.
ed States, the New Orleans Bulletln
says
"Old Tippccanos will rnn well. An
acquaintance with his ckaracter--as 1
plain, straight up and down republican Of
the old school--with his qualities Al .
soldier, civ;ian and statesman laid with
his meritorious and aldous services rem
aered to the country--iR the field OF battle

popular man in the United States, as a
candidate for the highest Office within tbs

NAV we be permitted to ask on what
historic, martial or diplomatic page We
are to look for dan acquaintance @ith his
character The fact cannot be disguis-
| cd that III inc wings n~e.-~ s,nlifician or
a statesman to become the head Of their
party they have lost the boon by the re-
lection ofthe "Harry ofthe West;', It they
wished military chieftain they would
have found oae in the "hero Of Lundy's
Lane" and. in addition ta this. Gen.
Scott is as distinguished for bis civic wis
dom as for his yalor in the field. Tho
political antagonists Of Gen. Harrison ars
now perfectly satisfied, although they
feel the most entire freedom in telling the
party that is to sustain sold Tippeeanoe"
(ifthey will sustain himJ ;hat the petit
coats Of their adopted granny are .5g
and half too short for the fashion; the
granny must be cut off az the knees.
Mind this!
The first time the Natchez Daily Coa-
rier, some two years since, or little
more, made move for General Harrison
for the Presidency, the articles thus NOV
ing him as a nominee foi that elevated
station were written by one oftha soundess
Democrats in the State Of Mississippi.
The Editor of the Courier, then as green
in politics as he has ever been in common
sense, greedily swallowed the lure. In
fact the only political movement ever
made by the Natchez Courier that has 50
far approximated maturity was this same
Democratic hoax, played of in field Of
most exceeding polticlc grcenncss. We
give the Harrison party joy that for once
good Democrat put them on the right
scent in the Natchcz Courier. Mean
while, to show our neutrality, we shall
present, in day or two, o column and
half of extracts from the recent editorinls
of the Natchez Courier, showing that
.'Harry of the West" is the only true Sa-
y;our of his country--the only legitimate
candidate for the Presidency ofthe United
States--the only man who killed Tecunt-
sch--the first man who told the Msssis-
sippi river which, way to run, and baptiz-
ed its waters militia yankee baptism. We
do this in a spirit Of kindness to OR con-
temporary--as all along we have firmly
believed that the editor Of that ultra pro-
phatic Journal was sincere in his idola-
trous adulation and manworship Of tho

POETRY.
TO PROMISE, YET NOT TO PAY,

TUNE-To sigh, yet feel no pain.
To promise yet not to pay.i
To cheat, torob, and lie;
To tFife with the peoples change,
Then pass them proudly by;
Topour at Biddle's shrine
The offering of their cash,
To watt it DER the ocean brine,
And give us paper trash.
This is whiggery, whlggery rank,
This is whiggery, whiggery rank.
Such as pleases whig and bank.
Your cash, yourselfto to save,
Unwon by paper charm,
And yellow jackets plenty have,
In age to keep you warm.
To feel that you endure
No fears what bank men do,
And tho the banks should break, be sure
They cannot injursm~ou.
This is Jackson's, Benton's plan,
This is Jaekson's, Benton's plan,
Such as charms the honest man.

THE IMAGINARY ISLAND

THE IMAGINARY ISLAND
There's an isle in the OCEAN
The abode of the blest;
Where the weary and way-worn,
And guiIeless, seek rest.
And there is no sorrow,
No weeping, no sighs;
Save the gems of affection.
Tears are wiped from all eyes.
There the lime and the orange,
Their branches entwine,
With the leaves OF the palm tree,
And the fruits Of the vine;
There the groves ever gladden.,
To one endless spring;
There the flowers ever blossom,
And birds ever sing

SONG.

ny MAJOR CALDER CAMPBELL.
] loved her with the purest love
That ever human bosom knew;
The green leaf to the vernal grove
Was never half SO true!
For oh. she was the sweetest flower
That ever graced a Highland glen;
And proudly did own her power,
For she ives artless then.
She left her home amongst the hills,
And in the world she grew
A worldly, Haunting thing Of pride,
Unsteady and untrue;
Gay robes and jewels deck her now,
She seeks the gaze of men;
And 10 no more the flower loved,
For she was 2rtless then!
