FIRE as before, but where is the use OF

the folly Of poking il. 1t is just SO in

sixteen years and over, and no people III
ere aiiun ever 'aw warmer and better

of folks, too ; the circle around II was
wide enough TO admit every livin crittuI

poking and poking,-and the result you
see and now the question is, Shall We
have IL new fire kindled, and what shall
be the fuel Shall it be Lebigh Coal,
or Eng lish Coal' Old Pennsy lvany has
word to say in this matter, it she chusrs
to speak for there is just this difference
between her Coal and all other kind OF
Coal: it wont stand poking, but if let
alone, will burn steadily and surely Ia
the las, whilst other Coal may blaze
up with poking, and the sooner go to
ashes. The Coal is in the crate yet,
Major" says he, "though by poking, II
has ceased burning"
"Yes," says /. esquire, but it is
plagy cold though" "lt is so, Major"
says he but that comes OF poking, y
and with that, says he, "Lets you and ]
take II turn round and see some folks,
and hear what news is stirring, and by
The time we get back this fire will be
kindled and the blower on, and will soon
give us "A warm room, and wen have n

"When Governor of the North Western Terri

substantial marks Of his kindness and projection ;
their missionaries he paid and trusted and kept
constantly his person, his interpreters with

years ago the venerable Bishop of Vincennes trans

sincere gratitude to the lauented President. the ad
vice which had been written therein by dying pa :.
tor to his flock "if they needed any favor from the
Government after his death, to apply for it through
General Harrison--a man who was incapable oi

hearted hospitality and the cordial welcome with
which our clergy were entertained at his mansion,
whenever duty summoned them to attend the lsbo

Can the Locofocos stomach little COM
mon sense! Then let them take the fol-
lowing from the National Intellgencer:
THE T1MEs.-"Why are not the times
betterl" ask the Locofocos. aid you not
promise us better times as soon as Harrison
should be elected" say they.
Well, we promised to reform the Gov
eminent, to stop the squandering of money,
and to restore public prosperity; but we
promised no miracles. We addressed men
of sense, and not fools. The mischicfs
which the country suffers were brought on
by series of bad measures, and can no
more be repaired in an instant than a pa
tient reduced almost to skeleton by quack-
cry can be restored to vigorous health and
strength in day. The Van Buren, system
is vet in full operation SO far as the laws
are concerned. The Sub-Treasury is the
law of the land, and must remain so until
the meeting of Congress. The Locos de,
nounce the extra session as unnecessary
they wish US to 60 on with the same exper
iment which has failed in their hands, witt
their Sub-treasury; their hard-money exac
ton of duties; their suspended state banks
their no currency and no tariff, and M
national bank; and yet hold us responsible
for not making the times better. We can
not do much under their system. We mus
abandon it and return to the old one undo
which we formerly prospered. We hop
Congress will lose no time in doing this
There can be no sound currency till it
done, and until there is a better currency
business cannot revive but partially.
