John Smith sagein.-Ths individual is at his
work of rascality again We learn from the pa
taken before Squire Baldwin, in New Orleans, up
on the charge of passing counterfeit money, who
sent him TO the calaboose, in charge of couple
of "Johnies;" and whilst upon their way John
knocked one upon the head, and escaped from the
other. Next, hear of his being in Mobile,

to be understood that this eccentric gentleman, is
not John Smith ofArkansas," for he has given
up such inerant habits, and has taken to politics.
Ingenious Editor.-We opine, from tho appear
ance of an article in the Liberty (Mo.) Banner,
headed so the LADIES' and by the editorial re-.
marks leading it off, that the editor is tight up to
get him wife,. The article begins by insisting
that no woman can live happy without husban nd
and that 'it is the grand want of her nature -
and that it is the fret wish Of all women, with a
few novel exceptions, 10 get married. And winds
up by asserting that all men scan afford to get
married. intimating thereby that he is able and
milling to take to himself rib. Look out girls,
a dead fall is set to entrap you. Look out ye de-
mocrats Of Missouri, ye patriots and friends of re-
publican institutions; this plausible editor has fell
designs upon the fair "Goddoss of Liberty.'
A Printer broke up.--An article is going the
rounds, headed "Rob Prnter-shame on the vii.
lains." The Office of the Lancaster, N. II.
Democrat was broken open, a short time since,
and all the hard earnings Of the editor. saved for
the purpose of paying his board bill, amounting
to three dollars and three picayunes, were stolen
from the cash drawer Tho editor calls upon all
his brethren "to pass him around" Stop him.
We say, lest we hear that his mex, exploit will be
to rob dead man of his shroud.
