HON. CALEB CUSHING.

The course Of this distinguished statesman has
met the appreciation Of right minded and honest men
Of all parties In proof Of this, we copy the follow
ing just and sensible remarks from the Hayerhin
Banner, Democratic paper
Some of the federal papers in District No. 9, are
venting their spite upon Mr.. Gushing, because the
Districtng Committee made a great mistake when
they thought to kill off Mr. c. by making him com
petitor with MIR. Salionsta by arranging the re-
preventative districts as TO bring these two gentlemen
into Essex South. Why is Mr.. G.. at fault for this
Gerrymandering plan, IL this design of the com
mttec had been carried into effect by the Legislature
it would have worked badly for whiggery, without a
doubt, but Mr. G. would not have been guilty.
His friends would not have suffered him to be sacri-
feed without struggle aud the design OF ms enc
mics would have been thwared but Mr.. Z. Is not
responsible for the acts of his friends when they take
measures against his enemies. The interference OF
the federal papers in the South District, is not called
for and whatever they fit to say IN regard to our
politics, or our preferences for men and measures, Is
voluntary on their part free gift uncaed Tor un-
sought MIR C.'s standing among his own conslitu-
ents, was never more elevated than at this moment.
They esteem him for his talents and consistency dis
played in the two last sessions of Congress When
federalism has wild in the extravagances OF pas
sion and corruption, he has been found stemmng the
torrent tone, amid volles Of passionate abuse
II his constituents reasonable men, will they for
sake him In Newburyport, his own residence, and
town which receives much of its Importance from
his character a of talent, his friends were
never attached than at this moment. They
have loaded their guns to honor him with grand
salute when he shall have returned to their embrace,
and have no doubt that his welcome home VIII be
hearty one.
In his district there are several proiessedly Wing
papers. All but one of these, we believe are adye-
Gates of his course. The Lowell Journal is rabid
against him. but its personal independence IS doubt
full and under the uncertainty which rests upon this
matter Of independence, it cannot have much infiu-
ence against him. They cannot kill MIR. Gushing,
and they had better their strength for other pur-
poses than his persecution.

THE WAGER PAID.

The Paris correspondent of the National lnteli-
gencer relates the following of Aguado, the rich
Partisan banker.
Before the defunct millionaire paid bis fatal visit
to Spain, he lost game which is called une dsc,r-
ton, Uhe loser to pay what he sts) with Partisan
of fortune and fashion, remarkable for Brummelism
The winner did not remind him of payment until
he heard Of his arrival in Andalusia, and confidently
expected from the deitante banker dozen eases Of
the choicest Spanish wines, jewel of a Murllo.
Judge of the surprise and disappointment when
large living bear. duly ENGAGED and muzzled was
brought from the Pyrenees by order Of Aguado, TO
the eXquise's hotel in Paris. The bear being found
an uncomfortable tenant for the court-y yard was adj
vertsed for SALE the offers were too low; at length
the manages of the owners country estate arrived
and having mentioned that the park and orchards
were infested by poachers and other trespassers, it
was agreed that Bruin should be sent down. and oc-
casionay let loose at night in the wood which expe-
dlent speedily proved eiec i've. But the formidable
guard clambered himself over the walls, and spread
terror and devastation every side in the neighbor-
ing farms. A hue and cry cnsued, not against the
monster alone but his ferocous" master suits for
damages came next; the Vscount is obliged 10 pa,,
the hot season in Paris, and may have to suffer
sideratly in his purse for Aguado's practical Joke,
which the dandies and lawyers now pronounce
nlaurdise pfaisantcrie.

SELF was honored with the commission of captain in
the militia. He was an old bachelor, had an
old maid for house-keeper, and tillel his own
ground like an honest man. He was acquainted
with Governor Wentworth, and frequently called on
him when at Portsmouth that he might tell his rustic
neighbors how n ick he was with his Excellency. To
add to his Importance, he once invited the Governor
to call on him at Deer6eld, his way to the coun-
try, and the Governor promised to do So He ex-
pected the visit some time in certain week and
kept near his house, busiy employed as usual; one
very warm day his house-keeper came putting into
the field TO inform him that grand carriage, which
must be the Governors, at a little distance
The captain ran into the house and had hardly time 10
slip on his military red coat and cooked hat, ere his
Exce'Iency drove up. With his trlsy sword in hand
Captain Dudley ran into the street. and assuming
true captanlike strut, paid martial salute to his
Excellency, who, on beholding him, burst into
hearty laugh This rather dscomposed the man Of
the swor but he was put TO immediate fight by the
following speech of the Governor

your appearance as a military MN would be some

to pay his respects to the Governor, had entirely for

PRESIDENT TYLER.

Magnanimity, benevolence, and moderation are
the cardinal virtues. The people of this Republic
have to apprehend for their country, or that
IT will he dsgraced by any species of conduct winch
designates tyranny or treachery while President ~
Ter holds the rens of the Administration. lie stands
unmasked before the people--with his own signature
announces himself a firm, undertaking advocate for
the principles contained in the Constitution, and
while the people are alive and attentive to such
principles President Tyler wishes to inculcae on
their minds, we may most certainly, Notwithstanding
the swelling, clustering and threatening tone OF a
few disappointed and aspiring politicians, anticipate
events the most sautary and propitious.
But 1t Is MOI surprising that among population OF
seventeen millions, that man from the " Land OF
ASH or set of bank retaners in old Fennsy ivania,
about these exciting times, should be found desti-
tute Of principle, or common humanity, as to
wish for revolution, and would not stop at the
shedding of citizens blood to further their mad,
bilious views.
Such aspiring demagogues think it is in the revo-
luton Of empires that truly great men make them
selves known--not in the tranquil scenes of peace,
and II is this game they are trying to play The
people, however, alive TO such games will soon
play trump that will surprise them, and erect their
names in capitals as living monuments of universal
detcslation. The people the alpha and the ONE
ga of power, and it is the people, and the people
alone, who maintain the political standard of our
common country.
President Tyler having fully the affections Of the
people, ay, the hard-isted mechanic and yeomanry,
asks no favors from his unprincipled opponents He
knows full well the baseness of their corrupt and
hollow hearts, and views their ISLANDERS with consum-
mate indifference, knowing that he finds consolation
the integrity of his upright heart and the rec
titude of his conduct and measures, in administering
wisely, constituiionay, and fearlessly, the laws OF
this happy country

A MARES NEST.

After all the fuss made here this season, relative
to the fever, il turns out that not than
in ten has been yellow fever. The physicians have
come pretty generally to the conclusion that it is not
even fever which will accmatc man. We are
sorry for those friends who think themselves safe,
since they will have to do as we tell children some
times " get up and try it again" As we said last
week, several Creoles and accmated persons have
had the fever now going about. We know Of one
gentleman who has been in this country thirty-six
years, and was accllmatcd long ago. who is Just out
of his room The doctors consciences will not per-
nit them to make the usual yellow fever charge
$1,000 and that is testimony enough in our opinion.
The fever nothing more than the dengue and about
as epidemic as CARLOAD Of Cuddehunk paving
stones. Are the Vicksburg and Natchez quarantine
laws still in force

DEATH OF DR.. CLAIMING.

We lament 10 hear Of the death of DIR. Charming,
which took place recently at Bennington, in Vermont.
The intelligence was communicated by letter to one
of his friends in this city.
O,e of the great minds Of the age has passed from

yond those of most men, were informed by the most
comprehensive benevolence His great and active
intellect, and his ardor of feeling, overtasked form
naturally of no great strength, which of late, from
time to time, showed itself incapable of supporting
those efforts which have attracted the admiration of
the world. His eloquent writings remain, the orna-

acted the opossum well as the throughout the
whole campaign. Mr.. Tyler remained consistent
with himself, and the principles the Wings were duly
