Sambo, we better deal easy and nat
ural with the old critter. She's the
richest and greatest customer | have,
and the natural price of ground nuts
is the price she can in reason afford.
If we were to be hard on her and
break her, how would master manage?
She lends him all the money to make
his roads and rebuild his burnt houses,
and the capital to establish all his
grand banks. If she breaks, it will
smash us all. Besides, hadn't we bet
ter sell to her reasonable, than send
her to India and Egypt and South
America for them, and then have no.

then do?''
"Why, I don't know exactly, if Mrs
Dumping stops lending-we must
borrow from somebody else; but its a
great shame that having paid so much
for things, she should now be so lima
tured as to offer less. I'll see you

The following barefaced and frau

placed as number one among the I'm
pardonable political sins of the day:
From the Richmond Wing.
Loco-Foco TRrcKs.-Dr. Montgo-
merry, the late member from the Ra-
leigh district, North Carolina, has been
detected in most despicable trick,
concocted for the purpose of defeat
ing Edmund Deberry, the Wing can
didate for reelection in the 9TH dis
trict. The plan was this: The doc
tor wrote several letters to his party
friends, ;nstructing them how to fix
upon Mr.. Deberry the charge Of bav-
ing voted for all the appropriations of
the last session, amounting to more
than 50 millions Of dollars, except
one of about million and a quarter.
The doctor advised his co-workers in
lniquity to press the charges against
Mr.. ID. of having so voted.
elf (says hey you assert with con-
fidence. some will be gulled, and you
will gain their votes, which is all we
want. If Deberry should not have
his journals, you will then have de-
cided advantage over him, which you
must not fail. to improve. You know
that all the appropriation bills are set
tied generolly in ''Committee of the
Whole" where they are fully debat-
ed, compared and placed in that shape
by the majority, which insures their
final passage after they are reported
to the House, where they are very
seldom further debated, consequently
they pass by a SILENT VOTE. Well,
| advise, that if Deberry should I'M
fortunately have bis journals, make
him show where his name is recorded
against any Of them, and insist that
the journals ought to show if he did
oppose any of them; this, of course,
they will not do, for the reason alrea-
dy given.
sit is devilish good plan, and
sonnet thing like the one | adopted when

| took the Journals, went to the vo-
ters' houses, showed them where the
appropriation bills had passed without
any recorded opposition charged
Barringer with having voted for them
and when | found any obnoxious
bill had passed in his absence from the
House, would read the nays, and Of
course not finding his name among
them charge that he had voted for it,
and IN this way gained great ma
ny votes. charged him, too, with
