PoLTrcAL TREAoHERY.-Some exposures have
been made recently in Kentucky, which are calcu-
lated to affect the character OF Governor Pope, a
member of the last Congressfro district in Ken
lucky, but it will at the same time expose the des
rlcabe arts by which political distinctions are some
Zines obtained. Mr.. Pope was wing member of
Congress, and he offers to become circuit rider
and advocate the cause of Richard M. johnson, an
ultra loco cco, the price to be paid for the honors
OF seat in the Senate. The following statement
is copied from the Natchez Courier and Journals

DlseKAcEFUL THEvrNe.-There is a species of
larcency very frequently committed, which calls for
particular exposure-itisthe stealing of newspapers,
or portions OF them from the reading rooms Of our
hotels. There is but one way in which the crime
can be prevented or punished. Let the proprietors
OF the hotels employ person to take charge of the
room, to exclude the loafers who lounge there with
out any right to do so, and detect any person who
may be guilty of this mean and rascally conduct
