COMMUNICABLE.

COMMONWEALTH
Mr.. Chandler, of the United States Gazette,
is growing mighty witty Of late about the nfu-
enza and the Tyler-grippe. He also, in his Sa-
turday paper, speaking Of the Cabinet, says:
alt is now Of not much consequence who comes
or who goes the orst do little more mischief
Than has already been secured to the people, and the
bea will be rendered powerless Tor good by the inhu-
ence Of distrust in the people and corruption in the
ruIsrs.n
After reading The above extract, we take it
for granted that NJ. Chandler has Withdrawn
the application to the corrupt Government that
has been on file for sume Time back to make his
son Purser. Besides publishing the foregoing
Mr.. Chandler copies into his paper from the
Globe a scuuilous attack upon President Tyler
and his friends Part of the article runs thus:
"Mr. Clay, in his Lexington speech, declared that
10 man could accept or hold office under Mr.. Tyler
withou, being dsgrscedl!"
Mr.. Chandler, after giving publicity TO this
charge, will not certainly allow his son Ga Clay
Whig) TO be longer kept before the President
for a Pursership.

JAMES T.. WHARTON.

We see that James f. Wharton, OF the
Whe cling Times in his number OF June Ia, al
the same time that he defends and excuses Mr..
Bolts for divulgipg "prisate and confidential
communications with the President, which IT
is dluoys considered an eridence Of de
prarify and meanness 10 do,"-(in his own Ian
guage) -s' grafuitonsIy" comes forward as
Mr. Botts's witness in such mean and de-
PRAYED ACT and thinks strangely Of the President
because we were handed certain confidential
letters of Mr. Wharton to the President FOR
Wharton, aud 10 falsify Mr.. Bolts great wit
ness, Mr.. Wharton himself II will be recol-
lected that the last letter Of this MIR. Wharton,
In which "he can see no reason mhy Mr.. Clay
should be permitted 10 plant his batering ram
against the Uhife House, and knock erery
man dorm mho said him nay, whefher The
sober second thoughts Of the people sanctioned
the act or nof," was written on the lth Sep.
TENDER, 1s41, after all the Bank vetoe-, and af-
ter all the obnoxious acts Of the Presidcn, TO
the Wing parry had occurred. Ii will also be
remembered that Mr. " barton offered himself
10 IN. mrond' Of The President in this same
letter, and that he also offered himself as pur-
cbasable commodi,y-the price asked-,be "Post
Office printing and that Of the other Departments
for the N9sfAwes." In the hope of obtaining
which lay his patriotism and his love Of John
Tyler, "rhom he mished 10 take BY the hand
at his INAUGURATION IN 1916" as he
states in his letter of May 10. And it viii
moreover be remembered tina, his pofriof-ths
enumerated Mr.. Whorfon-never changed
this exalted opinion of John Tyler, until the
printing Of the Departments was refused him,
Notwithstanding the Bank vetoes.
The record of the above facts is before the
country, besides the testimony Of "vindex,"
whose name we are at liberty to give whenever
we think proper. by these, the most respeefa-
bic editor Of the Hheeiing Times, who takes
"the liberty" on certain occasions 'of vetoing
public sentiment" must stand vetoed by public
sentiment. Being somew hat charitably in
clioed, we leave him to his conscience.

MIR. BURKE.

A week or ago, The Globe contained a sour
shire, which asserted that The writer's constiiu-

of Lempster, who had selected him as their or

that they sanctioned them.
All the vulgar epthets of Mr.. Burke were APP

Mr. Enron According to the announcement on
Saturday last set out my forty fret ariaI excur-
sion IRON the borough of Carlisle at fifteen minutes

waited me short distance, when the ascent became

clustering braggadocios" .---...YS,
,haTb short time ago, leading British Maya
zine contained a review fihe newspaper press
of America, and that the ill-informed writer
took the New York Courier & Enquirer as a
fair specmen of American Journalism.
The review Of course heaped upon our coun-
try eyery species of abuse, and attributed to
our editors all those shameless qualities most
loathsome TO brave, intelligent, and virtuous
men. But the imputa,ion, that the Courier q
Enquirer was true specimen, was promptly
met and Indignantly repealed by our best writers
Although il was not denied that ''Col. Webb,
of the regular army" was universally regarded
BY Americans as being an editor Of the descrfr~
tion so severely commented on by the British
writer--a clustering braggadocio-yet it was,
with justice, asserted that the great body Of
American editors were as far from INDUCING in
the disgraccfu species Of puerile blackguardlsm
found in the columns OF the Courier & En-
quirer, as the braggart editor Of that notorious
receptacle Of SANDER and calu,nny was incapa-
Bile Of rising to the ordinary standard OF truth
fitness and dignity maintained by the general
ty Of our journals.
The Courier and Enquirer is distinguished
for its reckless disregard Of truth and justice IN
its political animadversons and, knowing lis
want Of principle, even the Wing politicians OF
the day regard its support of the cause they ad-
vocate as a misfortune. Ii is no wonder, then,
that such a sheet, under such circumstance
avoided by its own and desrised by the opposite
party--should, in mre desperation, attribute
such pronigaie omissions and commissions TO
Others, as have been branded, by common con-
sent, on its own character.
We deem it duty to our paper, which is so
often slandered BY the Courier & Enquirer, and
an act of justice to the American press-since
foreigners, looking at lis dimensions instead OF
It's merits, have taken the Courier & En-
quirer as a fair specimen of our journals
TO speak freely on this subject. As for the man
ner IN which the Madisonian is conducted, we
are content with the appreciation of success.
We have xix hundred subscribers in the city Of
New York, and more or less patrons and read
ers in every civilized nation on earth.

CHAPTER VI

Frederick was the next day presented
to his grandfather. lie was a pompous
looking man, about sixty years Of age,
with countenance rather harsh and Sc
we're. His manners and habits were very
arlstocratic, and his disposition obstinate.
He however seemed much pleased with
his grandson, and few days afterwards
sent for, and informed him that he had
concluded to make him sole heir Of all his
property, amounting 10 several hundred
thousand dollars, on one condition, viz
that he should not marry without his con-
sent. "One Of my family" said he,
L" was ruined without my consent, and
do not intend another shall be-
Frederick, somewhat nclled by this
harsh allusion to his mother, and the dis
trust manifested with regard to himself,
Immediately told his grandfather that his
affections were engaged and that no for.
tune, however large, woud induce him to
break those engagements.
"Wcll, WE'LL" said Mr.. Sinton, cooling
down liIlle, as he saw the spirit Of Ere
derrick, 81 must find on, who the girl is.
II she is rich and Of good family shall
not be very hard to please"
Mr.. Sinlon soon asccrlained that the
lady in question was any thing but rich,
or descended from 'Ghat he calieR " good
family" She was the daughter Of a re-
spectacle mechanic, and her brother. the
only near relation she had then living,
was clerk in the custom house. lie
was much displeased when he heard this;
fot really liking Frederick, he wished to
make him his heir. But his word was
now passed, and could he even have re-
conciIed himself to the idea of having
mechanics daughter in his family, his
word must not be broken. He therefore
proceeded 10 inform Frederick, THAT
unless he gave up all idea Of ever marry
ing Mary I.ansdae, he need not expcc,
10 receive any thing at his DEATH
Frederick very composedly answered,
a that as he had never anticipated being
made heir to a fortune, it was no dsap-
poinmcnt, and that he would as soon
think Of giving up his life as the hear! to
which he had plighted his faith"
As lis noble spirit would no, allow him
to remain depcnden. upon any one, he
