We would direct the attention oS our
readers to the following Editorial article
from the Western Weekly (Teuu-I r.
view. In it Mr.. Hogan lashes the D-us5
cratic majority in the Tennessee Legs
lature pretty severely, but very Tls-ly.
for not standing up to their PrineiPles--
They find it much easier to P~saet an ex-
elusive gold aud silver currency than 70
reduce it to Pratice; and, hence. thew
have passed a resolution the effect or
which as Mr. Hogan says is. 10 --LEsaL-

We would say TO our patriotic and tai
ented brother of the Review, lay on and
spare not.

The general Assembly OF TenneeSee
have resoired that all the banks Of thlz
STATE, are hereby required 10 resume ant

their obligations that are due. and as fass
as they become due, and are presented
for payment. Provided that the Bank
of Tennessee shall not be comDeiIs.l L.

This IS piece OF as pretty a hsubue
as We have ever seen PLAYED or The
charters of the Union and Piansers-
Banks afiix the penalty of a noa-sulssi-
ment of their obligation to pay specie

legislature from now till the end OF the
year, could not alter or DESTROY the con
ditIons of the charter, or contract be-

A RoGuE-1esterday while a num-
Der of persons were engaged in putting
freight on board the steamboat Naples
one Of them, a loafer, we presume, broke
open a box, and found it TO contain boots
and shoes. Without any ceremony, he
helped himself to an armful of the con
tents, and made off. He was, however,
discovered, pursued, and brought back
with the booty.
lie was asked by his capter-s.W here
did you get these articles'
s.Well, don't know-where did get
thea sure enoughl' said the loafer ap-
pearing to be ignorant of stealing them
..1ou stole them out of that box" said
the other pointing to the box which had
been broken open
swell, so did, spose; but don't
know said The thief
At this time, some person thinking tho
fellow was giving evidence against him
self Father strongly, suggested TO hin
not 10 acknowledge, but deny the theft
Fhe loafer tooES the hint. and instantly
made denial il toto.
.'I'Il be id if know any thing of tho
affair at all. never opened any box.
What do you think | want TO do with
that boxs''
sYes, you did have something TO dc
with that box; and you've got yourself
into very bad box,l can tell you"
What, me-you mean me--me?-
Oh, no, you can't mean me. never
touched any box in my life!''
''But ] tell you that you did touch ha
box: you broke it, and you stole those
boots and shoes which you now have in
your arms. from the box''
"Well, | know did; but YOU cant
prove it. Here; take your things back

''But, sir, you cannot go. / shall senc

'Cala-wh0."

"What me oh, | couldn't think Of
such tning--I must go to my dinner
Here, take your id plunder," and
throwing the bundle on the wharf, the
loafer was about walking off, when one
of the policemen came along and took
him 10 dinner in the vicinity of Capt.
Harper's premises.--Picayune.

The PRESIDENT IN PHILADELPHIA. =
IN facideat at The Reception When
Mr.. Van Buren alighted on Monday, at
Sanderson's hotel the crowd, camorous
10 see him, insisted upon entering the
apartment prepared for him. la the
midst OF the tunsult. the voice of the
host was heard, addressing them to the
effect, that they professed to be the
friends Of Mr.. Van Buren,, that that gen
tien'an was laboring under great fatigue
and exhaustion. having eaten nothing
since an early hour in the morning, and
that If, under such circumstances. they
still persisted in seeking him they could
not be regarded as his friends'' The
crowd cheered the orator, and carried
him on the shoulders of some Of them
INTO the street, where, sorrowful to re-
ate, one of the fight-ingered gentry
the host of his pocket-book.
which, fortunately. however. contained

PHILOSOPHY OF LAUGHISG.-'sB Better
laugh than cry!n SO we say.-There's
no use in rubbing ones eyes and blubber-
ing over all ''the ills that flesh is heir
to-" Red eyes, whether caused by drin-
king or otherwise, are scandalous look
ing affairs. The best way is to ''stand up
TO the rack and take the good things
and the evil as they come along, without
repining cheering yourself with
that philosophical ejaculation, better luck
next time Is dame fortune as shy as
a weasel. Tell her to 60 to thunder; and
laugh her in the face. The happiest
fellow we ever saw, slept on a plank
and hadn't a shilling in his pocket, nor a
coat on his back.
Do you find disappointment lurking
in many prize?' Then throw it away,
and laugh al your own folly for SO long
pursuing it,
Does fame elude your grasp? Then
laugh at the fools that are so often her
favorites. She's Of no consequence any
how, and never buttered piece Of bread,
nor furnished man a clean dickey.
Is your heart broken by
Some maiden fair,
With bright blue eyes and auburn hairy
Then thank your stars that you escaped
with your neck, and make the welkin ring
with hearty laugh. 1t lightens the
weight of ones heart amazingly.
Take our advice under all circumstan-
ces TO s'laugh dull care away" Don't
be in a hurry to get out of the world
its very good world considering the
creatures who inhabit il and is just about
as full of fun as it well can be. You new
er saw man cut his throat with a broad
grin on his face; is a grand preventive
of suicide There's philosophy and rell-
gien too, in laughing-it shows clear
and sincere gratitude for the
good things of this life, and elevates us
above the brute creation. So here goes
Tor inn--and we'll put in for our share
while the ball is rolling.--1rumpet

THE MARINE CORPS. 4

We stated i'll ourlast. that one of the two vacant
l;nanances il this Corns had been filled with
a foreigner AMI that i, was probable the other
would be. Since then orr prediction has been
verified. Here we are, presented with a case in
which there were two foreigners and more than
one hundred natives, applicants for these two Off
ces; and will it not sound strange TO the ears of
our countrymen to be told that the two former
were the successful candidates? Will any one
believe that not one of the latter was equally well
qualified and as deserving! Not an individual in
The United States will believe ii.
What shall we think then? Can it be for par
ty purposes? Can'favori,ism towards foreigners
secure the perpetrators Of these unjust deeds more
friends than neglect towards natives will loose
them! We hope not, And we believe that it
is only necessary for these dctesable acts to be-
known to bring down upon the heads of their
authors sweeping tempest Indignation. May
Heaven speed this event. We have more to say
on this subject when time shall supply US with
some facts not now in our possession.
We occupy neutral ground; but we stand in a
similar position to that of the late talented Sena-
tor from Virginia--tan armed neutrality
while we do not mean to provoke hostility, we
are ready for self-defence, regardless as TO the
objects Oh whom missiles may take effect,
when, by being invaded, VIC are compelled to let
them fly. ~
We must confess that present appearances but
too evidently portend the fuli!ment Of the arro-
giant declaration not long since openly avowed at
i public meeting in this District, and. published
in newspaper in New York, a devoted organ
Of the aliens, tina. they were '.boys to be our
masters" and the 'rcachery Of our own country
