mails. The Southern chivalry flaps its wings
and crows of its cock. An emblem Of the bragg
gadocio, this; who struts his day in the sun
shine, but always runs when coon or ,ceasel
appears.
The weasel has been knighted by Mr.. Cal
houn as the appropriate emblem of his present
friend, Van Buren,. He is sly, cunning, alert
little animal, always doing his dirty work in the
dark, and only famous for his chicken eating aud
rating propensities.
4 The Mig emblem Is that same oldcoon, =
which always3o be found in thu. vicinity Of
the tw cabinssof Tie hardy andshoasss yeo-
ulanrygof The West. He ID very fond of polk;
berries; as an evidence Of which, he destroyed
the product Of all the Polk-tushss id Tennessee
at single meal He sometimes steals u march
on his enemies, and fans out both weasels and
chickens before they know he is about, as he
recently did in Maryland and Georgia. He is
native of North America only, and insists that
foreign ornaments and clothing are necessary
and aristocra'ic, when one can wrap himself so
comfortably in fur of domestic manufacture, and
can sport 50 many rings on his tail. Like the
brave pioneers in whose forests he resides, he is
great in a fight, and can whip as many snarling
puppies as can get around him 4 and as to wea-
sells and chicken-cocks, they fear his very pres
ence, and always leave when they; see him
" sitting on asrail," even when he is /" sleeping
very sound" The old fellow has been mapping
since 40, but as leap year has come again, he is
about Apacking up his traps to skin another
weasel and catch a fewmore chickens. Look
ou', therefore, in IA, to zee the fur fly and hear
