THE TERRIFIC LEGEND OF THE XII
KENNY CATS.

O'FLYNN she was an Irishman, as very well was
known, .
And She lived down by Kilkenny, and she lived
there all alone,
With only six great large tom cats, as knew their
ways about,
And every body else besides she scrupiously shut
out.
Oh, very fond - cats was she-(and whIskey too'
'IS said,) -
She didn't feed e;m very much, but she conib'd
'em we'll instead,
AS may be guessed, these large toHl-caIs' uey
didn't get very sleek,
Upon a combirg once day, and 'ha'porth' once
week.
Now on one dreary wnter's night, O'Flynn she
went to bed;
The whiskey bol1le in her arm ! (lhe whiskey in
her hcad)
The six great large tom cats they sat all IN dis
NAL row,
And horribly glared their hungry eyes-their tails
waggd 10 and fro.
At las! one grim grimakin spoke in accents dire to
And dreadful were the word, that in this aW full
whisper fell
When all the other five om-cats in answer loud did
squall,
'Lets kill her-and lets eat her-body, bones and
all n'
Oh horrible Oh terrible Oh deadly tale to tell!
When the sun shone in the window hole ali there
seem'd still and well
The cats they sat and ck'd their paws all in mer-
ry ring,
But nothing else qrifhin the place LOOKED like a
Eiring thing;
"Anon they quarrrlPd savagcly, and spit and swore
and hallo'd.
Till at last these six great large tonl-cats they one
another swalow'd
And nought but one long tail was left in that once
peaceful DIV Yelling"
And a very tough one too it was-'tis the same a.
Pve been telling.

his brother acquainted with the facts; for this
purpose he went to his lodgings, but he was
not at home. He then went into the Park,
and walked there for some time, being unable
to make up his mind as to the best course to
be pursued-he at one time thought to tell
some friend, but knowing that some stains
rested upon his character, he refrained, lest
they should not believe his story, and so de-
liver him up to justice. After travelling the 4,
Park for many and many time, he at length
returned to his rooms, and took the dreadful
means, with which the public are already ac
quainted, to conceal the awful deed.
We offer no remarks on the above state
ment, but simply give it as iven to us. The
story is very plausible; and very ProbaDi1e
one, the wound on the head of the deceased
might we'll have been given in the mannel
described. There are, however, no witness
of the dreadful tragedy-to God and to him
self the secret is known.

"Good-b to the whigs-theirdepartare's at hand"
Is the cry o'er the length and The breadth of the

All the patriots we meet merry as g!igs,
And are shouting and singins-"Good-by to'the

Goodbye to the trimming and treacherous crew,
Who never meant honest, and never spoke true:
No more they'll he running their rasca!ly rigs,
For their tricks detected: goodbye 10 the

How they whecdled and whined, in their hour of
distress
Meier were promises greater, performances less.
No longer deceived, the poor man that digs,
And the rich one, both sing out-"Good-by TO the
wings"
When they came into power, how they snuffed up
the gale!
How they crested their neck ! how they carried
their tail!
For the loaves, then, and fishes, they quarrelled
like pigs, ;.
Bling off their own noscs:-good-by to the wings
Their triumph was short their dominion is o'er
By fasehood and fraud they can rule US no more
We've routed the cunning old federal pigs:

GOVERNORS MESSAGE.


Speaking of the views of President Tyler
on the veto power, the Governor, i'll his Mes
sage holds the following language:
off he be right, we may bid farewell to all
stability in our Institutions. Every four years
the laws of the country may be changed, and
its business embarrassed and destroyed by the
constitutional ScrupleS of a new President
The tarif-the bank-the distribution of the
revenue from the public lands internal inn
provement-all the great measures for the
welfare of the country, will be constitutional
or unconstitutional, Just as the President may
happen to be selected from one part of the
Union or the other"
We have sought in vain for the man who
will pretend to explain satisfactorily the above
paragraph, How the veto power can have a
retrospective operation and level down every
thing that has been done since the foundation
of the Government, is beyond our compre-
hension and how the Presidents opinion of
the constitutionality Of laws already in force
can affect the existence of those laws is equal
ly incomprehensible. Will some friend-the
private Secretary, if you please attempt to
throw some light upon this matter?
TREASON IN THE CAMP.-It appears by
the following from the New York Ira of the
18th, that the Wings are about reviving a.
gainst Mr.. Webster the same charges from
which they not year since labored so hard
to defend him:
"When the bank Whig papers begin to
sneer at Daniel w ebster, and throw in his
teeth his want OF patriotism during the last
war, there must be something rotten in Den
mark The sTimes and STAR of last even
ing, speaking of writer in the Express who
condemns the Whig Convention held at Sy-
racuse, says: Go ahead, as they say i'll the
West-nake up the issue between the merits
of Henry Clay and Daniel Webster; it is
precisely the thing that every good Whig re-
: quires in these extraordinary times. Do not
fail, however, to place these distinguished
men before the country as they stood I5Pdur-
ing the late a0ar qOith England. Should
this part of history be neglected, we may find
it necessary to fill up the picture"
The great Daniel may we'll say "save me
from my friends" But between the two
Daniel or Harry, there is precious little to
choose on the score of patriotism. During
the war; Clay being then Democrat, sustain
ed the interest of his country against the mad
encroachments of Great Britain. But now,
and ever since he has Joined his fortunes to
those of the Federal Pipe LAYERS. he is bat.
