The origin of Coolers and TIMERS Just
after the close of our last war with Great Britain,
an officer of our then gallant navy, being in Lon
don was induced one evening to attend the
theatre The play brought forward was bur-
lesque upon the American Navy, in which our
officers were introduced as Coolers and Thinkers.
As the curtain fell, the American, though small
in stature was big in soul, arose in the box, and
whrling his hat, cried out, Huzza! hazza!
huzza! Great Britain beaten by Coolers and
Thinkers Il"

We find among the doings of the late Demo
cratic State Convention of Ohio, the following
resolution: ...
On motion Of Mr.. KAUFMAN,
Resolvcd That all associations formed under the name
of Native Americans for the purpose OF annihilaung
the existing laws of emigration or naturalization are
Federalism in its broadcast and are rephghaht 10
the spit of Democracy, in opposition 10 the pest
est of the people, subversve of the rights of man, and
hostile every thing that is dear to US as Democrats
and freemen.
There, we call that the climax. Read it again
1t is surprising what tact some people have OF
acquiring knowledge, and of getting on in the
world. We have an inkling from the name OF
this nam, and the spirit of the resolution, thar
Mr.. Kaufman was raised in one OF the seven by
nine municipalities of Germany, and after step
ping over the bounds of his native territory, was
so amazed to find the world so much "bgger'
than he ever dreamed Of, that he at once deter
mined to become great man. 1t is an evidence
of large capacity, that the mind expands as the
field Of observation enlarges; and as we doubt
not the field of Mr. Kaufman's labors will soon
be to circumscribed for his ambition, can re-
commend him to range where all his powers
NAV have ample room to expand. We would in
toduce him to kindred spirit of whom we
have read some where down South, j." who ex-
pressed his exalted notion of things somewhat in
this fashion: stranger, sleeps in the Yazoo
Purchase eats bears meat, and drinks out of the
Mississippi"
But seriously, we can tell the Democrats OF
Ohio, that if they can swallow this resolution,
they have larger organs of deelutiton than their
brethren on this side of the mountains. We
will point them to multtudes, probably as thor
ough Democrats and as good citizens as them
selves who will pronounce this resolution,
viewed in the light of moral or political aiment,
as crank poison''-and who would at once de-
clare that it was probably got up by some ,asplr-
ing demagouge, whose sole patriotism was com
priced in John Randolphs seven principles, viz
" five oaves and two fishes
One word more. If this resolution is cor
rectly reported, we advise MIR. kaufman to
learn English before he offers another. If he
meant what he says, the laws of e"israt'o"
&c. we think him consistent with himself !;
but our remarks are based upon the supPositlon
that he would have written, had he understood
our language, the laws of Immigration We
are not finding fault with emigration we.
1t is immigration that, true Americans and
lovers of our country, we fear

Selling Human Hesh.-Wby will England,
the boosted pioneer in the cause of philanthropy,
still allow within her domain, the buying and
selling of human beings? This is done openly
and sllanehsssly in her public markets. The
following paragraph is Of kind that frequently
occurs in Eue lsh papers 1t is an item Of news
by the last arr walls:
"Sals Of q Wle.--The Infamous practice of

to secure such birth-right 10 their children;
and should, moreover, carefully guard those in
situations, IL for nothing else, for the sake of
their posterty, from the hazard to which they
are exposed, from the incompetency of foreigners
to exercise guardianship over them. And, may
we not expect to find intelligent and virtuous
foreigners among the foremost to secure those in

disorganize, if not wholly to subvert them
g could not have refused to make the desired
address,; because the enterprise in which you
are engaged, will. probably lead to violent COLI
sions. This apprehension could not exist, if the
contemplated repeal were not necessary, and il it
had not been already too long delayed! If it were
not necessary, such is the democratic tendency Of
our institutions, and the liberal sentiments gen.
Grated by them, you would have been unable to
get up party in its support that would deserve
or receive any other notice than that implied in
the scorn and contempt due to foolish and impo-
tent agitation. Ii it had not been already too
long delayed, the opposition to a measure so de-
cidedy national and patriotic, would not have
been in sufficient force to threaten violent col
lison. If, then, there is danger Of such COLI
sion, this is only argument for early, prompt
and vigorous effort to efTectuate the object of the
enterprise: for, every moments delay only in
creases the force of the party who array them
selves against It's success.
Neither could have refused to deliver the
desired address before your Association, because
of " hat | consider unwarrantable measures, or
inconsequent arguments of some engaged in the
enterprise. Some things have been done, and

cans of Virginia in the late spring cleo
tons, at which were in attendance many
invited guests and delegations from Wash

concourse of citizens from the adjoining
States of Virginia and MARYLAND. The
scene, as described in the Madisonian,
was most brilliant and cheering. The
Mayor welcomed the delegations from the
neighboring cities in a neat address, to
which by common consent Mr. Webster
was designated to reply.
After the regular toasts were disposed
of Mr. Webster's health was proposed to
the concourse, which called forth from
