SAVING POSTAGE.

"Hillol Mister Postmasther, and is there ever
a lether here for Dennis O'Callahan ?" inquired
the identical Dennis himself as he rode up to the
door Of a certain post office.
I believe there is," replied the postmaster STEP
ping back and producing the letter at the door.
" And will ye be so kind as to rGde it for me,
scein' had the misfortin to be edicated to rade
never bit in the world7" humbly asked the Ir-
ishman.
"To be sure, SIR" said the accommodating post
master. So he opened the epistIe and read, with
good deal of difficulty, three very interesting pa
ges concerning Dennis's folks and affairs in old
ireland, the said Dennis with both legs turned
on the same side of the saddle listening all the
while with becoming meekness and gratitude.
Much obleeged to yer honor, for troublin
yourself, and consumin' your valyable time with
the likes o me an mine ;-how much might b.
the postage on my letherq'
"Fity cents, sir"
GA very reasonable price for sich comfortin
Iether but a. could never think of AKIN vel
worship to credit the likes o me, ye may st Eee,
the Ietther for pay"
The post master began to swear: Dennis vanish
ed, and we came away.

DR. FRANKLLNS WIFE.

Franklin in his sketches of his life and habits
Telates the following anecdOte of his frugal wife
A woman could scarcely make prettier apology
for purchasing the first piece Of luxury.
1t was lucky for me that had one as much
disposed to industry and frugalhy as myself She
assisted me cheerfuIly in my business folding and
stiehing pamphlets, and tending shop, purchasing
old linen rags for making paper, &c. We kept
no idle servants; our table was plain and simple;
our furniture of the plainest sort. For instance
my breakfast for long time was bread and milk,
tno tea) and eat it out of twopenny porringer
with spoon; but mark how luxury will enter
families, and make progress in spite of Princi-
pie. Being called one morning to breakfast, l
found it in a China bowl, with spoon of silver.
They had been bought for me without my know
ledge by my wife, and cost the enormous sum of
three and twenty shillings, for she said that she
thought her husband deserved silver spoon and
China bOwl-as we'll as any of her neighbors
This was the first appearance OF plate or China
in our house. which afterwards, in the course of
years, as our wealth increased. augmented gradu-
ally to several hundred pounds in value"

CONVERSATIONAL POWERS.

Fluency in conversation must not be ascribed as
test of talent. Men of genius and wisdom have
often been found deficient in its graces. Adam
Smith ever retained in company the embarrassed
manners of a student Neither Button nor Rous
seau carried their eloquence into society, The
silence Of the poet Chaucer was held more des
rable than his speech. The conversation Of iold
smith did not evince the grace and tenderness that
characterize his compositions. Thompson was
pen. Descartes seemed formed for solitude Cow
ley was quaint observer; his conversation was
slow and dull, and his humor reserved Hogarth
and Smith were absent-minded, and the studious
Thomas Parker said that he was fit for no com
munion, save with the dead. Our own HamiI.
ton, Franklin, and host of others, were def
cient in that fuency which often fascinates pro-
mScuous circle.

~ The Raleigh Register anl certain other
Whig papers are endravoring to create the i'm.
preston that Mr.. VAN buren, and COL JOHNSON
are in favor of the Fate odious Bankrupt Act
Nothing could be more false. The letter of Col.
Johnson, so freely quoted by these Editors, was
written beforethe passage of the late law; and in
addition to this, let it be heard every where, that
Col. JOHNSON voted in the Legislature of Ken
tueky TO instruct MIR. CLAY to oppose that law,
and that Mr.. CLAY disobeycd Instructions Nor
is Mr.. VAN buren, less sound upon this subject
than Col. JOHNSON. No person denies the con-
stitutional power of Congress to pass Bankrupt
Law, and Mr. VAN BUREN never went farther
than the system which would takehold of corpor-
ations. 1t is the voluntary-the cheating clause
of the late Bankrupt Law which is so much
complained OF, and for this the Federal Wings
arc solely responsible They might as we'll at
tempt to get rid of the political sins of HENRY
CLAY, as to attempt to disown and put aside their
own creature.

An Abs~rdity.-The Whig leaders argue that
we ought to make all our own articles, that is
manufacture for ourselves, and buy from no for.

They might as we'll argue that the mechanic
ought to be independent of the farmer. What
use, argue they, has shoemaker for farmer
he can make all the corn, and potatoes, and wheat
he may want in his Backyard We wish these
whig worthless would tell both ends of the tale.
We make cotton and tobacco, wheat and corn in
this part of christendom; and we make enough
for ourselves and to spare. What shall we do
with the surpfus2 Throw it away2 By no
means Let US sell it to the nations of Europe
But if we lay high tariff and thus keep off what
they wish to sell to US, will they buy from us ?
Can they? This is independence with ven-
geance, an independence which makes the farmer
raise his own coffee, manufacture his own sugar,
produce his own SALT dig out his own iron, and
make his own hats, crockery-ware and shoes

We observe, with great pleasure, that our friends
of the Richmond Enquirer and Petersburg Re-
publican are about to bury the hatchet deep under
the tree of peace. The Enquirer says" We
are sick of dissension. We are almost satiated
with the discussion about our Presidential candi-
dates. We are almost disposed to offer the ehilds
bargain to the Calhoun presses, Let us alone,
and we will let you alone" On the other hand,
our accomplished friend of the Republican, always
courteous, is growing more so his editorials are
not so bitter as they in the heat of the con-
test, and though he still strikes with the sane
glittering sword, it is more generally directed a.
gainst the ranks of the common enemy
Now all this is cheering. 1t gives us deeper
and stronger hopes for the harmony and success
of the democratic party. 1t assures US, and we
rest with confidence in the assurance, that we
shall hear less hereafter about men, and more a.
bout principles. And why, indeed, should any of
US seriously differ about men2 All our candi-
dates are able and faithful. Does no democrat
doubt this2 If not, why not think hereafter of
availability? Why not direct our eyes to the
strongest man7 The first question should always
be, are they honest-are they able-are they faith
ful2 An affirmative response once given to this
question, the next should be, who is the strongest
Who can get most votes in the Electoral College,
If MIR. Van Buren, be the most popular man; if
all of us or ma ajoriry should think he would get
the most votes let US run him. If on the contra
ry, it be thought that Mr.. Calhoun will embody
the most strength, in the of the party let his
name go up on our banners. And if either Col
Cass or Mr.. Buchanan can combine the elements
of democratic strength in their fullest power, sup
port them, say we; or if OLD TEcUMsEH can 60
before all these great statesman in popularity, let
him be the first choice of the great democratic
party.
We beg leave to say to our friend of the Rich
mond Enquirer, that we have not been an indf.
ferent spectator of the contest which has of late
engaged his efforts; that we have looked on with
some anxiety, but with strong confidence also in
his correct judgment, admirable coolncss, and
deep devotion to democracy. We have not been
disappointed He has come out of the contest
neither vanquished nor victorious; will he now
consent to 60 before his friends, in assaults upon
the common foe, and blaze the path to victory4
