The BIRTH DAy.oF sIIARRIsoN.--A few
DAYS since the birthday of the lamented and
slandered veteran Of North Bend passed by
us in the "fight ofyears" 1t was the birth
day of him who received his life from a revo-
lutionary father, his commission from the
founder of the Republic and credentials of
Office and of honor-which were never sui
lied in his keeping-from the pure men who,
successiyely, from the father of his country,
ennobled the presidential chair. The hon
est and wise officer, the, brave, skillful and
humane general, the kind-hearted and pub
lie spirited citizen, the christian man, the
good president" Foil of honors, full OF
years, his momory shining, as the sun
over the clouds of dark detraction which,b but
in vain, sought to obscure It's lustre, he has
passed away with Washington and his virtu-
GUS associates, and his memory is enshrinec
with theirs. He has left us his example, hi:
great deads and his dying injunction-"l
wish you to understand the true principles OF
the government. I wish them carried out
ask nothing more!" And were those
principles, thus solemnly enjoned, the cher
ished aims of the leaders against whom he
stood} opposed? by whom the whole artil
lery of falsehood and cruel SANDER wa.
hurled at his aged head, and over whom !
yirtuous people enabled him to triumph?
Yes, be has gone, but one whom he low
ed, nay Ito use his own word,) "idolized.'
still lives to carry out his dying bequest-
$40 the Chieftain is gone from the scene of hi
lame.
But the halo of ages shall gather around l
For his sword waived in Justice and Liberty
/ name,
And Liberty's hand with her myrtle has crown
He has mounted on high to the PATRIOTS sky.
While his country was last in his heart anC
his sigh,
But Joy! tho the hero has gone to his rest,
His MANTLE is left to the HOPE OF The WEST

genial with his exalted natare-in the name

sons of democracy sheath their swords and
not wreak them in blood of their brothers.-
His mandates were obeyed; the old Lion of

THE HOB NAIL PARITY!

The "hard cider'' sneers of 1910 are re-
vived again, by "all the decency" and all
the democracy" The aristocratic hearts
of the leaders of the selfstyed democracy
will ever and anon, in an unguarded moment
display the hidden purposes of their souls
Secretly they despise the common habits and
common customs of the people. Too AFRO
CANT TO brook the pretensions of an old soldier
whose chiefvice was, that having honestly
paid his debts, he preferred hard cider to the
costly foreign wines of Mr.. Van Buren,, they
Kissed on their scribblers TO ridicuIe his pow
erty. And terribly was their lordly assump-
ton rebuked by the people. More fond of
foreign broad-cloths and beavers than of the
homeIy manufacture of domestic artisans,
they cry loudly against protection and ridi-
cule home leagues Of our own people, who,
in the true spirit, resolve 10 clothe theui2
selves and their families in rude jeans. And
now, at the onset of the present campaign,
similar TRUSTS made through their organs
upon the plain habits of free and frugal
people.
The 10Th ofJanuary Convention was not a
convocation of aristocrats. 1t assembled
men most of whom wore homespun clothes,
and who were guilty of the horrible sin of car
rying mud upon their boots and of wearing
hob-nails. And this, it seems, is grave Of
fence to the selfish leaders of the opposition
party, if we may Judge from the following
paragraph, extracted from their leading or
gan, the State Sentinel, and published shortly
after the adjournment of the Convention. Ii
reads thus:
''The condition Of the State House after
the Federal Wings had got through their
Convention, plainly shows the state they musi
have been in. Not only the desks and Ia
bles; but ratings and window seats, and eve
ny place which these Wings could mount to
make themselves conspicuous, are ground
off and indented with tae HOB-NAILS
AND MUD with which THEY WE'RE
SHOD."
The hob-nal and mud party, is now the
democratic" substitute for the :EHard Cider
Party of 1910!
Well, we assure these lofty leaders now
that if the hard cider of the venerable anc
reviled HARRISON soured upon their tender
stomachs in 1910, that, in November next
they will be doomed to witness the hob-nail:
and mud of the people grinding forever il
the dust all their selfish plans and heartles:
policies! And that many an humble, bu
honest artisan and farmer, though clad il
woolsey and and wearing muddy boots anC
hob-nails, will be found grasping the hand ant
rejoicing over the Inauguration of Henry
Clay.--Whig Rife.

FEMALE BEAUTY.

To sum the whole the charms that are real
ly indispensable TO being beloved, and may be
possessed by every one, who is not personaly,or
mentally, or morally deiormed. Let US enumer-
ate them:
l. An eye, whether black, blue, ar gray that
has the spirit of kindness in its expression.
Q. 4 mouth that is able to say good deal,
and that sincerely. Its teeth kept as clean as
possible ;-must be very good ma tured to servants
and friends that come nexpectedly to dinner
3. A figure that shall preserve itself, not by
neglecting any of its duties, but by good taste,
exercise. and dislike o gross living.
4. The art OF being happy at home, and max
ing that home the abode Of peace. Where can
peace dwell, if there be no pety! These quail
ficatons will sway the soul OF man, when the
shalower projections enumerated in this article
would cease to charm. A good heart is the
true beaulitier.

PROGRESSIVE DEMOCRACY.

The Cincinnati Enquirer published a COM
municaion sometime ago, which occupied
the true ground with reference to Locofoco-
ism. The writer stated distinctly, that the
'Locefoco party was party Of progress, by
which he meant it was continually changing
its opinions 10 suit the advances of enlight-
eminent. He said a man who was genuine
Democrat twenty-five years ago, is not a
Democrat now, if he maintains the opinions
he formerly cherished He odverted in a
striking manner to the changes which have
occurred in the views of the party since the
election of General Jackson to the Presi-
dency, and maintained, with great truth,
that as these changes have taken place
with the majority Of the party, an original
admirer of General Jackson, who held his
old opinions, is not a Democrat ofthis day.
All the world knows all this to be true;
but all the world was astonished at the can
dor of "Democrat" in making such con-
fession. The Wing papers are using the
confession very effectively, and Mr.. Brough,
the editor of the Enquirer, the paper in
which the article referred to originally APP
peared, has been impelled by his fears to
come out and state that the views of the wri-
Ter are the views of some man." Well now
as Brough and the Locofocos are anxious tc
avoid the charge brought against the party
we think the best thing they can do, tc
prove their sincerity, is TO advocate the doc
trines maintained by the Jackson party du
; ring the first term ofthe General. If they dc
this, they must advocate the protective sys
TEN, and the distribution of the proceeds O
the public lands, so often and SO ably recon-
mended by General Jackson in his message:
to Congress. Will the Enquirer say tina
these measures were not advocated by tht
Jackson party years ago? If it does, We
can give quires of quotations in evidence o
the fact. 1t now denounces these an,
other Jacksonian measures, and yet is no
willing to endorse the statement of it's CORES
pendent. What egregious inconsistency.

FASHIONABLE Music. What's that? It's
music. Well that's artificial too, it's scen-
tiic they say. it's done by rule Just look
at the gal to the piany; first comes little
Garman tunder. Good airth and seas, what
crash! it seems as ifshe'd bang the insiru-
ment all to thousand pieces. l CUES she's
vexed at somebody and is pegn' it into the
piany out of spite. Now comes the singing
see what faces she makes, how she stretches
her mouth open, like barn door and turns
up the white other eyes like duck ii thun-
der. She is in musical ecstacy is that gal,
she feels good all over, her soul is going out
| along with that ere music. Oh it's divine,
and she is an angel, amt she? Yes I guess
she is, and when I'm an angel, will fall in
love with her; but as Pm man, at least
what's left me, I'd just as soon fall in love
with one that was leetle more Of woman
and leetle, jist leetle less of an angel
! But halo? what onder the sun is she about,
why her voice is goin' down her own throat,
to gain strength, and here it comes out "a
gain as deeptoned as mans; while that
dandy Teller along side Of her, is singin' what
they call fallsetter. They've actually chang
ed voices. The gall sings like man, and
The screamer like woman. This isscience:
but hang me if it's natur." [Sam Slick.
