We find the following "palpable Hit
in The Rochester Democrat:
When the Wing guns at dead Of night,
Had wax d the babes in sad affrig ht
Amos, with sharp look and piercing eye,
Saws "Hush nv dcars. LIE s7If.l. don't crv."
The "Hcaven born" then resumes his quill,
The BaBts rest not hut lie LIES STILL.

DR.. Martin Van Rain,
70 years receipts from
duties and lands, (say) 100000, 900
70 cash in the Treasury. 29,000, 900
TO Treasury notes issued, 100000
To certificates of gold and silver moi de.
posted, unknown.
By funds left with the People as follows
empty treasury,
nation in debt, -s
public revenue dried up,
Gold humbug exploded.
l President returned TO Kinderhook.
Account balanced 4,h March, lS4l. -Er.
We agree to the above in all but one
item. Gen. Harrison ought to be credit
ed for landing the President a, Kinder
hook. J his will be but poor offset for
the "empty treasury "pubic debt,
&c. which he will inherit.

One million, one hundred nf,i eighty
seuen thousand. three hundred ant ten
dollars. and >irfy-',oo cents more than
the most expensive year of the war with
England!-N. 7. finer.
SYMPTOM -Straws sometimes show
the direction of the wind. We nave not
observed an indication in the presidential
contest. which speaks more cnnclusiveIy
the dislrus, of the friends of Van Buren,
in his success. than the,course pursued by
some of his recently appointed Sub Trea-
surers.
Isaac i.ill has been appointed Receiver
General for New England, to reside at
Boston. Mr. Hill. in a letter recently
published in the Agricultural paper. say
he will not remove his family to Boston,
or forfei, his citizenship in New Hamp-
shire. The Sub-'rreasury is only an ex-
pertinent, and he does not intend to make
permanent set,lementin oston until the
experiment is tried.
a Receiver Of Land Office in Illinois.
lately appointed, declines accepting the
appointment. stating that he is unwilling
to accept aud give security for an Office
which he will probably hold only about
seven months.
Daniel Arcl,y. who, some months ago,
was appointed Receiver of the Land Jffice
at Lexington. in this state. has not yet.
we learn by the Boons!icS Times, remov-
ed his family from Charlton county. aud
probably will not until he has seen the re-
snlt ofslhe election.
fr Penn. the lately appointed Receiver
General for the st. Louis district, we un.
dersland, expresses his intention of no,
removing his family from Saline until late
in the fall, or probably not until next
Spring.
These facts, disguise and apologize for
/ them as you may. show conclusivrly, to
our mind that these men arenot very sam
guine of the reelection of Martin Van Bu-
lcH'-I00. nEp.
MlsslssIPPI.-A gentleman Of This city,
recently returned from a tour through
Mississippi, says the Ing cabin boys
