UNPRRMBDITArED CoMPLIMENT.-Att the
election on Monday, Van Buren, man, a
good democrat, and true to the regular tick
ct, 1--WE wish there had been a few more
that could be mustered of that same loyal
breed on our side,) went to the polls in
ward a, and was soon surrounded by loco TO-
CO vote distributors. The first ticket put
in his hand was a spurious one, containing
the entire list of ocofoco candidates for the
Senate and House, with the name of Ed
,Oard Everen at the top for Governor.
He looked at the ticket carelessly, and was
about returning it, when something below
the head line, to use printers phrase, at
tracted his attention. Halloaw said he,
"what thisl Here 8 pretty muss you have
been making of it. What a ridiculous look
ing ticket is this! All our folks below and
Ned Everett at the top! We'll, never heard
ofworse nonsense than this. Whose got a
regular? Let's have regular! None Of
your aduterations for me. Who's got a
genuine Democrat ticket?' Here, here S
one," said dozen voices at once.
"Ah!' said he, after carefully examining
a ticket which had been offered him, this is
right-this is snght--thls is the zeal Simon
Pure-Marcus and the rest-all right; but
this thing" he exclaimed with some vehe
mence,) !" this thing looks like ragged toa-
fer fresh from the Penitentiaru acith seuen
dollar hat on his head" We need not say
that even his own political friends joined In
the burst of laug hter, which this unhappy
slip of the tongue created.-Boston Trans

people TO be sick, but when disease gets

A translation from French periodical,
contained in the Buffalo Journal of the goth
ultimo, gives different view of the militia
ry resources ofRussia, than has generally
been holden by those who draw their infor-
nation from the English estimates of the
power of that Kingdom. The translation
makes $4,000 the largest number of troops
that Russia has had in the field during the
present century, and attempts to prove that
if attacked in her own territory she cannot
swell her army above 500 900 mer, and that
without the aid of money from England or
some other power, she could not bring on
the Rhine an army exceeding 15O, 900
