KIND OF border ground where all sorts Oh splrts oil
both political parties congregae, TO compare notes
discuss polics-sete the national affars-de-
nounce opoonenis-divide the spoils--driak beer
and damn souls. Major Joe Hopkins, the keeper OF
| this place. is as remarkable as the house. He is
wei. kaown rs gallant, fearless feow-one who
speaks out his mind like man. During the last few
days The Pewter Mug" has been the scene of unex-
ampIed excitement II has foamed over, not only
with beer bat with politics. patriotism, and Office
seekers The great question is the continuance of
Mr. Webster In the Cabinet. SO great has been the
excitement that almost earthquake has been
produced, and in fact very few people can sleep in
that neighborhood
IL seems that the Tyler party is composed of two
sections, both m eting at the "Mug." One section
is formed OF the struggling OF the loco foco
party land the other consists of the equally struggling
remains OF the wings The number of the whole is
probably about four hundred and forty nine, but they
make more noise and kick up a greater rumpus than
could ten thousand of the regular army of either of
| the great political parties.
Since our announcement of the fact that Mr.
Webster would remain In the Cabinet, the locofoco
branch OF this respectable host has been in an UNI
common state of excitement. They have been
sending several expresses, and messages without
number, to Washington, and making all sorts of
movements to procure Daniels ejectment, because
he is the great obstacle in the way of their obtaining
Offices for themselves and their friends. On the
other hand, the wing section has lbeen equally in
dustrious and jealous Two or three special ex-
presses went of from them yesterday, and letters by
the brshel, to the considerable advantage of the
Post Office revenue. The issue of all this is at pre-
sent uncertain. We shall, however. watch the
course of events, and make known all things in due
time.
Hunt FOR AN OFFIcE.-lmmediately after the re.
ceiptof the news o. the death of Com. Porter, which
came by the last steamer. Major Noah packed up
few old coats and breeches in carpet.bag took
seat in the first railroad car, started off to Washing
ton, and there presented his claims for the vacant
office to Captain Tyler. The nature and mpor' ance
OF those Claims are well known. The Major left
the bench with intuitve sagacity, when he saw
preparations making by the democrats to kick him
out. He then endeavored TO establish small pa
per in this city, and managed tax the office hold
ers here to the extent of $4,000 or $5OOO and to do
more discredt and injury to the cause of Mr.. Tyler
than any thing done. Well these claims are GER
tainly of very great importance in certain shape
The uniform object of Noah and his clique, during
the whole existence of his paper, was 10 create a
rupture in the cabinet and !drive Mr. Webster out
BY this achievement he expected to be able to bring
parcel of his dependents and those associated with
HIM into, office. A more heartless, miserable and
mercenary set of beggars than they never implored
aims OF the passers. The Noah clique have be-
longed to all pares-been aue at by all parties
secuted by all parties-and they are now ready for
any thing. They will take any thing-any odds and
ends--drppings- oken victuals. They would be
perfectly frantic to obtain the fortune OF Laza-
rus under the rich mans table.
As for Noah himself il he cannot get the office
of Charge d'Afaires at Consantinope, he will very
gratefully receive Consulship at Barrataria, or
FIVE dollar agency in Pandemonium, or any where
else. If he do not get even that, he will beg Mr..
Tyler to give him discarded coat, or an old pair
of breaches
TEMPERANCE AMONG SEAMEN.-The first ship
which sailed from this port with temperance crew,
was the Panama, in the year 1927. The crew were
shipped by Balett and Coin, of this city. 1t was
thought at the time TO be impossible to procure the
crew upon the temperance principle, as it was Gus
tomary for every vessel TO give the sailors daily
allowance Of greg They were, however, shipped
with the understanding thatthe captain was to give
them spruce beer substitute. The temperance
movement was afterwards followed by other vessels
with perfect success. For sometime past, the GUS
tom of giving grog to seamen has been entirely dis
pensed with, which is in great measure to be atri
buted to those who first set the example.
FROM PoRTo RIco-NEeRo INsURRECTIoN.-Cap-
tain Card, of the brig Lewellyn, arrived at this port
last night, from Mayaguez, whence he sailed 9TH
instant, states that the negroes several plantations
had revolted andkled some OF the inhabitants. The
Governor General, who was at Mayaguez, was i'm
mediaey sent for by express, and upon his arrival
al the seat of the nsurrecton ordered out a body
ofspecial police officers TO suppress t-serious con-
sequences were, however, apprehended; and,when |
Captain c. left, considerable excitement and alarm
existed.
New AMERICAN NovEL.-Mr. Fay, the welknown
and popular author of norman Leslie" has given
TO the world new romance, bearing the title OF
"Hoboken," which the Harpers this day publish,
price fifty cents. We do not intend TO spoil the APP
petite of the public by giving any hints respecting
the plot, &c, but may just well say that it exhi
bits transactions similar to those which sometimes
have occurred across the river. Itmay be obtained
at this Office.
GRAND CONCERT THIS EvENINa.-The vocal and
instrumental concert for the benefit OF the sufferers
by the Guadaloupe earthquake, takes place this eve
ming at the Tabernacle. The object OF the concert
charitable and well calculated to draw full house.
But if this were not So III e eminent artistes
who have volunteered their services, cannot fail to
MI the house. We notice the names of Mesdames
sutton, Maroncei, and Otto together with Rape-
ii, Rakeman, Scharfenberg, Timm, and others. In
addition TO these there various other attractions
which may be seen in the bills
CHATHAM THEATRE.-The bill tonight is one OF
unusual richness and interest. The drama of Rosi-
IA Meadows increases in attraction, and WILDE pre-
sented for the fourth time this evening in addition
to which will be enacted the Imaginable farce of the
Irish Lion, with Mr.. Brougham as Tom Moore,
