Good Adciceio Captain Iyly.-The Richmond
Enquirer, in an article taking very just view o!
the demonstrations recently made in New York
and Philadelphia in favor of President Tyler ven
lures 20 give the captain" some very excellent
advice He, as well as the nation would be far
from suffering by It's being strictly followed:
1t is an ungracious Office to warn Mr.. TYLER a.
ganst the batteries of his Office hunters, or the
suggestions OF his counsellors. For his own sake,
and for the sake Of his country, we hope he NAV
be able to retire with gory.-Blt it is not by in
dulglng extravagant speculations of success or by
consentlns to have the patronage Of the executive
employed for his own ACKNOWLEDGEMENT, that Mr..
Tyler can expect either to retain his Office or to
leave II with the highest honor. Ii he has any
chance OF reelection, it is by ceasing to dream
OF it-by doing his duty--by employing the most
honest and capable men, not sycophantic par,i-
zans, to administer the affairs of the government
to employ no portion of its patronage for his
own adyantage--to purchase no vote BY the bride
OF an oliiceo forget himself, if possible, for the
sake OF his country. A grateful people are most
apt to recollect man who takes no unworthy
means TO promote himself.

a,rocious murder committed in that city: "lnst
evening" about o'clock, j. Cores was shot
through the head at tho corner of Broadway and
Leonard street. As he fell a woman, or man
in waman's clothing, with whom he hafteen in
conversation, fed across the street, and was not
pursued. The victim never spoke, nor recovered
consciousness, und died hours aferwards.--It is
a sort Of Mercer affair, arising, as it is believed,
from the seduction, by the deceased, of tho wife
Of ]. II. Cotton, gambling house keeper in We
scy street Cotton was found ut home by tho Of
licers, and declared his ignorance of the whole
transuction.-lt must be remembered that, two or
three days ago, Cotton attempted TO shoot Cores
in the street, but the pistol missed fire where
upon he was bound over TO keep the peace in the
penalty of 80 600 --Colton's wife was found lock.
ed up in garnet, at his residence in Vescy ST., in

In no state does there appear to be greater diff.
iiculty in uniting upon presidential candidates
than in Pennsylvania. Both parties are cut up
into dozen different factions. each fighting and
hurrahing for different man. There is Bucha-
nan faction, Van Buren, faction, Johnson fac
ton, a Cass faction, Calhoun faction, CLAY
faction, a Scott faction, Tyler faction, &c. &c.
Not only DO the different parties find it difficult
to settle down upon some particular leader, but
the individual members of those parties appear al
so to find it difficult to settle on one man. Thus,
we notice Mr.. V. Best, of the Danville Intelligent
GER has started paper at Harrisburg under the
title of "llarisburg Argus" which bears at its
mast head the name Of Gen. Cass for the presi-
dercy. The same Mr. Best still owns and con.
trolls the Danvile Intellengencer the masthead
of which is graced by the name of Col. RlcuAny
VI. JOHNSON.

Cleanliness and Erercise.-We know
of a gentleman in this city, who throws
his little children into tub OF cold water
early every morning, winter and summer,
and afterwards walks them down TO the
battery, distance Of about mile. Such
bright, happy and handsome little crea-
lures we see in no other family. How
much better this, than rearing children in
heated rooms, feeding them on rich and
enervating food, sending them out into
the world with forms half developed,
weak, and sickly. and minds but little
stronger than the frames that encase them.
