GLORIOUS TIMEs.-The Postmaster OF
Chambersburgh Pa. and Cooperstown, N.
Y. have been dismissed by order of the
President, and loco focos appointed.
As signs of the times, it is said George F.
Thompson, late Editor of the New Era,one
of the btterest loco focos in New York,ha
recently been appointed to an office in the
Custom House. Advertisements of the De-
partments are ordered to be published in
Hills Patriot and Richmond Enquirer
At late Tyler meeting in New York, it
is said the Hall in which they assembled
was grounded. A crowded Hall in city OF
100000 inhabitants!
OF some 200 volunteer Toasts at the
great Clay celebration in Philadelphia, more
than half referred to Mr.. c. as the next
Wing candidate, or were otherwise highly
complimentary. Messrs Clayton and Scott

and prevailed upon them through their
chairman, Mr.. Fillmore, TO submit pro-
position to raise the duty on this article to
the rate at which it now stands in the
Bill. This proposition ,oas strongly OPP
posed by the Loco Foco members, but 1t
,0as supported and carried by the Wigs.
Two other Locofoco members, besides
Messrs. johnson and Roosevelt, also pre-
pared amendments to reduce the duty on
wool to a very low rate, and they were
sustained by their political friends. The
Wings, however, succeeded in defeating
them. The vote on the final passage Of
the Bill was taken in the House at late
hour, on Saturday night. Euery Loccfo-
co member, with only one exception, re-
corded his rote against 1t.
We know Of loco foco paper that de-
nounces Gov. Paine on account Of his
occupation-he being manufacturer. So
he is-and for years past he has paid a.
bout 900 dollars annually to the WOOL
growers of Vermont for the raw material
and paid men and women for manufacture
ing it. We think this occupation no less
honorable than Nathan SMILES has been
"a grocer-by which means he has Sc
cured mortgages upon his neighbours farms
and finally their falms, and has become
richer perhaps than Gov. Paine, and now
cultivates garden, and is co-partner in
trade with his son.-This is the man the
locos call Farmer Smile On the whole,
we think Gov. P.'s occupation is as hon.
orable as SMILES, and contributes much
more to benefit the State.-Caledonian.

cheese, fruit, leather, hides,skin, iron, cotton,

War WILL THE PRESIDENT DO !

A letter writer from Washington says
sBut there have been certain Indications,
within few days past, which induce many
to believe that the President is gradually
coming to bis senses.

nor children to want IN comfort or suffer in
character throug h the sottishness of another.
The wretched victim, even if he is at liber-
ty to imbibe cogniac, or any other poison,
into his own system, has no right to trans
init the disease and degradation which must
ensue down through the vista of years, and
infiict it upon innocent sufferers, whose only
crime is, that their blood flowed from foun.
tain, one of whose branches has been pol.
luted. If one intends TO make himself
drone, or devil, or drunkard, it is well,
comparatively, when he goes to the work
single-handed, and SO stands that if he sinks
he has no innocent and helpless family to
sink with him.
Wv was an Indiaman of fortune
of course fair candidate for the Cogniac
Institution. lie had wife and family to
ruin, besides himself, and he went to work
with both hands at the accomplishment of
his object. He joined the Club, and besides
the inebriety consequent upon his member.
ship of this Inflated fraternity, he lived fast.
At length there appeared in town an East
Indian lady, on whose approach he fled,
leaving his innocent and helpless family as
desolate as ever the scorching flames left a
western prairie. The stranger claimed to
be his deserted wife, whom he had SWIM
died of all her wealth. The tender mercies
of the wicked are cruel. We have no
knowledge how the wretch came to his end,
but we presume that his end must have
long since come, for it is peculiar prof
dence of God, that the wicked shall not
live out half their days.
w., was man of no desperate
fortune, and made for no desperate fate
But his joining the Club resulted in the en-
tire wreck of his own prospects-and those
of his worthy family. When character,
business, and all hope had gone, he gave
loose reins TO his morbid appetite, and his
physical and intellectual energies were con-
stantly bowildered in the dull stupors of in
toxication, till the temperance reformation
broke in upon the scene. Poor mani it
came too late for him. His wife had already
died broken.har He quit his cups
took Chambers celebrated potion, but his
constitution was gone, and his vitals burnt
up with cogniac, and he soon sunk in death.
o that he had woke from his lethargy a lit
tie sooner, or that the temperance reforma-
ton had shed its moral light simultaneously
with the first sunshine that ever broke upon
creation.
