HOW TO PUNISH A COQUETTE.

There was pretty and cruel girl who had led cap
tive many lovers by her arifces and when they pop
ped the question, she enjoyed her triumph by decided
refusal.
roguish wit suffered himself to be apparently cagh:
in her net He followed up the courtship with surpri-
sing assduity and length, he took opportunity to
offer his hand in a very formal manner. As he expec-
ted the decided NO was uttered in loud enes while her
eyes shot forth derium Of triumphant Joy.
The youth Immediately smote his hands together, and
falling on his knees, excaimed-"Oh dear madam!ex
cept my warest thanks for you havs made me the hap
piest Of men! My father urgeI on to this coutrshp
He threatenedo disinherit me If did not do my best
Spies were set 10 watch me, and was obliged to fegn

to my father and confess to him that have well perfor
rned the part Of wooer andhat you never suspected
that was compelled to this step!"
"Then have been made fool of" said the coqvette
sobbing aloud.
ayes, my dear madam-but no harm is done since
yo ~ care not straw for me-and il you had admitted
me, you know that should have been obliged TO marry
you or submit to the loss of my inheritance"
Strange to say the youEg lady now fell violently in
love with the man who had treated her so cavaliery but
as he had his eyes elsewhere all her tears and sghs
were unavaling and she was obliged to take her place

TIE TRUTH OUT.

To say that the people of Pennsylvania have
been 'humbugged, by Locofoco demagogces on
the subject of the Tariff, would be to express in
the mdest language our opinion of an infamous
fraud praciced against their most vital interests
Since the first appearance OF Mr. Folks most rep
rehensible letter to John K Kane, Esq of our city,
in relation to his Tariff opinions, feared the re-
suit in those portions of State where former po-
litlca campaigns have been conducted under the
flag of jackson, Muhleuberg, and No Free
Schools" Our worst apprehenslons have been re-
allied, and now the locos chuckle over their fraud,
or else, in the most shameless manner, assert that
they were always for " Free Trade" or that vague
abstraction called Revenue rarff with incden.
tai Protection, which meal such protection as &C.
cdent not prudent legislation may afford.
Our exchange papers are filled with instances
which show the enornity of the fraud imposed on
the Tariff States. We would at present direct at
tcn,on to only two. Benjamin f. Butler, Esq. de-
livered congralulatoiy speech TO his locofoco
friends in New York, on the result of the recent
election, which the Courier complimented, as con-
tanning sound Wing principles in favor of Tariff,
sc. The Morning News flares up at this and says
=" far from approving" Protective Tariff, "i it
specified a subject of congratulations, that the
scheme of Distribution was overthrown and with
it the necessity and the pretence for high duties
and that might now return to a revenue system,
the burdens of which should be fairly apportloned,
and in which the Incidental advantages of duties
laid really aud in good faith for revenue, should be
universally and equally distributed"
The New York Evening Post, in the same spirit
reproves the Boston Courier, and says, the people
of New York are as it Will have seen before this,
so well learned in the doctrines of free trade TO
give Mr.. Polk very fair majority" Philadelphia

THE TEXAS TREASON.

The Madsonan of Tuesday evening gives Ut
terancc to the notions of the Southern Calhoun
wing of the Democracy as follows:
"'rhe verdict of the ballot-box not only decides
the question in favor of im-medate' Annexation,
but it is an unequvocal expression of Indignation
against the shallow dcmagogues who charged the
President aud the Secretary of State with design
to dismember the Union in the event OF failure to
cary measure opposed by majority of the peo-
pie. They have calmly submitted the measure to
the test of public opinion, and now stand up proud
" indicated and encouraged by the authority of
the soveregns, beyond whom there can be no ap-
peal, 10 20 on and accomplish the great work so
well begun but so UNANIMOUSLY arrested by the in
strumentality of INSCRIPTIONS politicians" "
"That our readers may again be assured that
Col Polk goes as far he who goes tarthest,' on
the subject of Annexation we will soon re publish
his letter the subject written in April last 1t Is
the only one he has written, and was sufficient for
it is sufficiently explicit"

was owing 10 false votes and false voters
in Southern cities. IL Pennsylvania is
carried by FIVE or six thousand votes for
Polk, who does not feel that two of those
thousands were given by illegally naturali-
zed foreigners in Philadelphia New
York, with population of 100000, cast
vote of 10000 one out of every five
of the inhabitants. Is it not palpable that
many of the votes must have been false
If we lose the election from this cause, we
ought to go to the source Of popular pow
err and purify it,
Mr.. w. then alluded to the diplomatic
correspondence concerning the treaty will,
Texas, recommending the admission OF
Texas into the Union, upon the ground
that it was necessary in order TO maintain
the institution of slavery in the United
States. 1t was impossible for any Amcr-
can who loved his country, 10 read the
comments of European writers and speak
ers on this subject, without deep shame
and modification. lie showed the absurd
ity, the inconsistency Of this iberty-loving
and Christian people, insisting that slavery
is indispensable in this free land. But
this question of the Annexation of Texas
cannot be decided TO day or tomorrow. -
IF we cannot avert the threatened evil by
the election of our President, let US exert
what restraints we can by sending the
proper men to Congress, who will do al
they can TO prevent the scheme from go
ing forward. For myself, said Mr.. w.,
l did not intend TO take any very active
part in the present canvass but from the
time that the Annexation OF Texas was
proposed, resolved TO lay aside all per-
sonal considerations, and devote my time,
thoughts, and voice, to avert this danger
Gus and degrading project.
Mr.. Webster then made a stirring APP
peal TO his fellow citizens, TO give the vote
of Massachusetts in favor of the liberty
of man, and the preservation of the Con-
sttuion. Let her be found where she
ought TO be. lie urged them to secure
the election for our State officers, of such
men as Samuel Adams, and John Adams,
and George Washington would approve,
whose portraits adorned the walls Of Fa-
neuil, and seemed to look down upon the
present meeting. He seemed to hear
them, he did hear them say Whigs,we
are with you Maintain and defend our
principles, follow our footsteps !" Let us
answer" We will do so. Through good
report or evil report, living and dying,
prosperous or unprosperous, we will show
ourselves not unworthy to follow such glo-
rious masters"
