An immaculate Patriot.

Ovid F. johnson, David r. Porler's con-
scence-keeper, private Secretary and Attorney
General the man who has handled as many
dollars of the United States Bank notes for I'M
poriant services rendered. az any other man in
Pennsylvania, except David R. Porter himself,
and who writes that silly tissue Of nonsense,
falsehoods and contradictions called addresses
10 the faithful" and fathered by H. Buehler and
J. Seller, Esqrs., and who also, writes Address
es for the Iron Grey Club as false and foul as
their author is low and dishonorabls, is the UeT-
atd6Ie, identical patriot, in whose favor the Gov
ernor Illegally and unconstiluiionally drew ONE
THOUSAND DOLLARS for trihing party service.
This man, whose unclean fingers have often
clenched the reward of treachery and subseryl-
ency, not only from the United States Bank,
but from the peoples Treasury, who is putting
forth Addresses TO the friends of locolocolsm,
made up OF the most miserable party slang and
pot-house rlbaldry,-this is a pretty fellow sure
y, TO enlighten the people of Pennsylvania upon
their duties as moral well demeaned citizens
and as patriots and Democrats. A man who is
joined III conspiracy with such men as Pack
er and Hubley and Lewis, to rob the State of
It's last dollar, and who, by their frauds upon
the people, the prostitution of their official sta
,ions and the vilest practices that any set Of
men not avowed highway robbers, were ever
before guilty of-this is the man who is dicta-
ting TO the free, honest, high minded and intel
ligent people of Pennsylvania their political
course He issues his mandates 10 them with
the insolent assurance of one who thinks the
people are obliged to obey him and have no
right to use their own judgments Will Penn
sylvanans be led by man of this character?
Have they surrendered up all respect and indie
pendence? The bare ntimation is base libel

A CLAIMANT IN PERsoN-The man who
sent a letter to the National Intelligencer,
claiming to be president of the United States,
and giving instructions 10 have the White House
prepared in proper manner for his reception,
has appeared at Washington and demanded of
the inmates of that establishment the mmedi-
ale surrender of the place. He gave in his
name as John Henry Haupt, Of Virginia. He
is German, and maintains that he is the veri-
table President of the United States, and will
eject the present incumbent in few days, with
the aid of numerous army, &c.

DEPARTMENT OF STATE, July Z, l84l.
A decree, OF which the following is trans
lation, has been issued by the Government of
Peru, taking effect from and after the lst OF
February of this present year.
"All vessels, whether national or foreign,
coming from foreign country, are absolutely
prohibited from touching at any of the minor
ports or coves of the Republic, under pain of a
fine Of one thousand dollars, payable by the cap
tain in favor of the informants; for which the
vessel is liable, whether belonging to The cap
tain or to others. If, moreover, it be proved
that any person, or goods, or letters, have been
landed from the vessel at any port at which she
may have thus touched contrary to the law, the
vessel shall be ccnfscatsd and the captain will,
in addition, become liable to a criminal prose-
cution"
1t is important that this regulation should be
made known to our vessels, particularly TO those
employed in whaling, which have been in the
habit of touching at many of the minor ports and
cOues (incIuding all places on the coast which
are not regular ports of eniry,) for the purpose
of obtaining refreshments. Revenne cutters
have been fitted out at Caoa for the enforce
ment of the decree.

No wonder Col. Benton declines being can

tighten the country forbids his acceptance oi
the post. Cramp his genius within the circle
of Executive duties, and the nation, deprived Of
the vivifying rays of his eloquence, would soor
become as torpid as frog pond in January.

Ana Example.

In The course of some remarks made In the
Senate day or two ago, by Mr.. Clay, he said
that "his were not those lazy, luxurious habits
of eating late dinners when he should be eat
ing his supper. He was not much of physi-
clan, but he would undertake 10 say that if they
would follow the practice adopted by himself,
they would have little TO fear from illness. He
rose seldom later than O'clock he then took
exercise, principally on horseback, for an hour
and half he then made his toilette, took his
breakfast, read the newspapers, and was ready
TO 60 TO work, In connection with this, he al
ways retired to bed at 0 o'clock---seldom later.
If his friends would pursue this course, he
would not only insure their health, but would
engage to pay their physicians bill"

IOst CuEpaDIe Conduct.
THE SMALL POX.

We learn with regret, that the small pox pre-
walls to slight extent, III one or two sections
of Philadelphia In one or two instances, we
are told, that children have been sent to schools
without the knowledge on the part Of the teach
ers, that their brothers or sisters at home, were
troubled with this dangerous maIady. Conduct
so culpable, merits the strongest animadver-
sions. No parent has right thus 10 peril the
lives of,he children of neighbors. Teachers of
schools, on the other hand, should instantly in
such cases, send back pupils coming from in
fected families, and thus discharge THEIR OBJ
legations. No teacher would be worthy of pub
lie confidence and support, who should neglect
this imperative, however unpleasant duty.

Remains OF President Harrison Re
moved.

The National lntelligencer of the lst inst
gives the following particulars Of the removal
Of the body from Washington city.
The mortal remains of the late venerated
President Harrison were removed from the
Government burial ground in this city, on Sat-
urdav last, at the hour and under the ceremO-
nies prescribed by the order of Congress, to be
conveyed to their final resting place on the
banks of the Ohio, at North Bend. The body
was attended by the son of the deceased, John
Scott Harrison, Esq and by the committee OF
gentlemen from Cincinnati, to whom was as
signed the pious duty of accompanying the re-
mains to North Bend. The President Of
the United States with the Heads Of Depart
ments, the committees of the two Houses OF
Congress, and large number of citizens, at
tended at the place of departure from The city,
to offer the last testimony of respect to the
earthly remains Of the lamented Chief whose
memory will ever be cherished by every true
hearted American.
A detachment Of Marines, by order of the
President, attended the body as an escort to
North Bend. We understand that when the
order was addressed to Col. Henderson (com-
mander of the Marine Corps) TO furnish the de-
tachment, and to designate an officer to COM
mand it, he replied that, being himself the Sc
nior officer, he conceived it to be most proper
and respectful that he should act on the melap-
choly duty of heading the escort.

The leading friends of Gov Porter have at

NOR and sound the "busy note of preparation"
for the approaching conflict. Their State Cen

Pennsylvania, in which they endeavor to con-
vey back their party TO the period of 1885, when
David R. Porter was carried into the Execu-
tive chair by storm This to say the least, is
disingenuous. David r. Porter has occupied
the Gubernatorial chair more than two years,
and therefore has had ample opportunity to ex-
hbt his abilities as a statesman, if peradventure
he possessed any, His committee" sensible,
however, of his utter unftness for the station
he fills, and aware that his administration thus
far, has proved total failure, strive to divert
public attention from the true points al issue and
turn 1t into a different channel. Hence they do
not urge His Excellency's reelection upon any
supposed merits of his own, neither do they ap-
pear disposed TO war against his opponent,
JOHN BANKS; but, anxious to fight fought bat
lies DER again" indulge in long and silly rig
maroe about Ritner, Stevens, Biddle, Burrowes,
"buckshot wars" and monsters The only
thing in the shape of merit set up for him is,
that BY urging the imposition OF taxes upon the
people, he has succeeded thus far to keep the
wheels Of Government in motion-and we are
perfectly satisfied that he should receive all the
credit to which, by his course in this particular,
he may be fairly entitled. Whether the meas
ure is of character calculated to promote the in
terests of the people, is question which they
best understand and to which they will, at the
proper time, give an unequivocal answer.
The COMMITTEE" have carefully avoided any
alusion TO the precious pardon, and have neg
ected entirely to explain the reasons why un-
der the administration of their Chief, the State
debt has been learfulIy increased, and the State
credit totally prostraed, while the State i'm
provements are in no better condition than they
were when he came into office. These are
matters in which the people are deeply interest
ed, and which they have a right to ask to be
explained. GreenSbarg Sentsnel.

From 'The Gift,' for 1912.
SNOW.
by MRS. sIGoURNEY,

How quietly the snow comes down,
When all are fast asleep,
And plays Il thousand fairy pranks
O'er vale and mountain steep.
How cunningly it finds its way
To every Granny small,
And creeps through e'en the slightest chink
In window or in wall.
To every noteless hill it brings
A iairer, puTer crest,
Than the rich ermine robe that decks
The haughtest monarch's breast.
To every reaching spray it gives
Whate'er its hand can hold
A beauteous thing the snow is,
To all, both young and old.
The waking day, through curtaining haze,
Looks forth, with sore surprise,
To view what changes have been wrought
Since last she shut her eyes;
And pleasant thing it is to
The cottage children peep
From out the drift, that to their caves
Prolongs its rampant deep.
The patient farmer searches
His buried lambs to find,
And dig his silly poultry out,
Who clamor in the wind;
How sturdly he cuts his way,
Though wild blasts boat him back,
And caters Tor his waiting herd
Who shiveT round the stack.
Right welcome are those feathery flakes
70 the ruddy uTchins' eye,
As down the long, smooth hill they coast,
With shout and Teyelry,
Or when the moonlight, cloar and cold,
Calls out their thTong to play
oh merry gin the snow "
For u Christmas holiday.
The city miss, who, wrapped in fur,
Is lifted to the sleigh,
And borne so daintily to school
Along tho crowded way,
Feels not within her pallid cheek,
The rich blood mantling warm,
Like her who, laughing, shakes the snow
From powdered tress and form.
A tasteful hand tho snow hath
For on the storied pane
saw its Alpine landscapes traced
With arch and sculptured fame,
Where high DER hoaTy headed cliffs
The dizzy Smpon wound,
And old cathedrals reared their towers
With Gothic tracery bound.
think IL hath tender heart,
For marked 1t while il crept
To spread a sholtering mantle where
The infant blossom slept,
II doth to earth deed of love-
Though in wintry wayi
And her turf gown will be the greener
For the snow that's fallen to-day.
