The weather has been extremely cold for two or
three weeks More winter has been experienced
here during this month than was felt all last year g
winter season. The river at present is low; there
is every probability that navigation will be closed
ere the middle of next month, an event, should it
take place, unknown to our citizens for many years;
the smaller streams above are frozen over, and
boats that had started for Bowling Green, Frank
fort, &c, have been compelled to return ice has
been swimming on the river for some days.
On Monday the great western statesman took his
leave for the south on board the Rainbow, the cap
tain of which boat being good thorough wing, In
tends to feed him like fighting cock, might per-
son be allowed to Judge from the quantities OF venl-
son and wild game of various sorts that sent
board for stores.
The Tyler organ in this city called, through the
medium of his paper. on the citizens to discuss the
Excheouer Bill. The meeting was a slim affair;
some twenty or more collected, mostly out Of Gu,
rIosity, to see and hear what was going on. The
Tyler organ poured forth in most vouptuous strains,
explaining the motives of the meeting: he also dis
cussed most learnedly the exchequer, enoining
upon his gaping audience the necessity for Congress
to pass the bill for the benefit of these United States
and the citizens in particular. After long ha-
rangue, in which he made some most grand and
lofty tumbng, he offered few resolutions for the
| meeting to pass. The first was put the ayes and
nays asked, but no one uttered syllable; all was
silent as the grave, the orator again poured forth IN
violent rage to arouse them from their ethargy. AT
the close of this display, he again put the resolution
but this time all were exceedingly clamorous; SO
much so, that he unable TO tell whether they
intended to vote for or against the resolution lie
then made motion that there was no cause for
any confusion. This they. all denied, as the
symptons then indicated: this caused a great row
and fuss, when all dispersed, fully satisfied both
with the exchequer and the Grafton.
The locofoco paper, the Sum- and the Tyler paper,
the Gazette, are extinguished; the two are to be
tuckian This looks well for the locofoco organ to
be coalescing and aiding the traitor administration

The cotillonparty at the Jefferson House, notwith
| standing the incemency of the weather, was very
well attended by those of the middle class OF so
ciety; every thing went of in fine style, all seemed
to enjoy themselves to the stop of their bent. Some
one or two of the male gender might be seen stalk
ing about the room, stroking down the tufts OF hail
around their chin, which gave them the appearance
of billy goats; another would twist his large black
whiskers with his fingers, as IT. lord OF creation" he

should offer 10 speak insultingy to those with whom

| Such beings as these are enough to disgust man
with himself, and could they but see themselves az
others see them, no doubt change would come
over ther dream of greatness. How often does mar
make himself appear in the eyes Of others ridiculous
