From the ". Y. .Neac Era
A GONE COON.

This is the most emphatic expression we can make
use of in reference to the very Honorable John NJ
Bolts. His ridiculous attack upon Mr. Upshur Sc
cretary of the Navy has necessarily called out that
gentleman in reply, and if &c used
up,' Bolts is that man. He is more than headed, he
is noosed, and the probability is he will choke to
death in attempting to extricate himself The Hon.
Secretary is extremely gentlemanly in the language
he makes of, but every line cuts to the quick. Gle
is calm summers morning. but his words seattle
like the lightnng's flash. Poor Bolts he had better
return to his old occupation of breeding horses mules
and asses and always keep of the latter for his
constant companion. The Hon. Secretary letter is
not lengthy, and will well pay for perusal.

THE ADMINISTRATION PARTY.

We insert in this days paper an article from the
Madsonian entitled The administration Party" with
much pleasure, because it repudiaes policy that
we had feared it was endeavoring to nculcate, viz.
the ".No Party doctrine which of all others have
thought the most mpracticable and least profitable,
We not the advocate of ultra party measures still
are free to confess that we have confidence
in our friends than our enemies. We gratifed to
see that the Administration has selected the of
all others in the nation the most suitable to represent
us at the Court Of Spain-the bare mention of whose
name is responded to by smile the face of all
who learn that WASHINGTON IRvING is the man.

MISS CLIFTON IN A NEW FARcE.---It appears
says the New York Express, from the follow.
ing extract of letter written by Miss Clifton,
the celebrated actress, TO this city, and pub.
lished in one of the morning papers, that she
has encountered at Richmond, Virgins, de-
monstration Of admiration not altogether. q:
greeable to her sense of what is due to .'native
talent" She writes as follows:
"A few nights since, after had retired to
my room and my servant had left me for about
an hour, heard knock at the door. Suppo-
sing that the girl had returned, opened the
door, when one of the boods about town pre-
scented himself, and said he wanted to speak
to me; which request you may suppose did
not grant, but was preparing to slam the door
in his face, when he seized me by the arm and
endeavored to drag me along the corridor, to
his room, which was few doors of. My
spirit did not quail, and in the struggle which
easned, the gentleman ~ dropped his cane,
which seized, and used it over his back and
shoulders in the most hand some manner. OF
course, he beat retreat, and returned to my
quarters, with his cane as trophy of my victo-
ry. The affair got wind the next day, and has
made quite a sensation.---1'he next day he
dpblogized; attributed the intrusion to liquor,
Which is the root Of all evil---and wanted to
hush the matter up. As rumor with her thou
sand tongues, may give different versions or
the story, | send the facts to you, to use if
necessary"

THE DESERTED WIFE.
I cannot sleep, | cannot rest,
My weary heart is aching
watch the glowing ofthe West,
I see the morning breaking.
And, oh !! long again for night
For night, and then for morning,
But aye the smile that was my light,
Il turned to bitter scorning.
Now Heaven preserve me in this hour,
And keep me e'er from madness,
Uphold me with its Strengthening power
TO bear this mortal sadness.
Hush hush my babe, thy little moan,
And closer to me nestle,
We now must struggle on alone,
With worldly sorrows wrestle.
Alone, alone my Fatherless-
Well stem life's troubled Ocean,
All! wo is me, and sore distress,
And weary wild commotion.
For he-who welcomed thee, my child
With smiles and fond caresses-
Has now become maniac wild
By maddening excuses.

who draw on their kindness with more reluc-

Some use grating words because they are

They are not fatterers, they say, and this they
think enough for all the cutting speech which
they employ. Others wish to be witty, and
they will with equal Indifference wound the

speak kindly to others or others to them, be-

There is a respect for the softer eek implanted
