HON. LOUIS McLANE.

In looking over the said-to-be organizations
which are paraded over and over again in the Lo-
cofoco organs, we sometimes see announcements
that we knoaU to be false. A few DAYS ago the
name of the Hon. LOUIS McLANE President of
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company, was
placed in this position. We learned from the best
authority, a day or two ago, that Mr.. McLane did
upon the announcement of the nomination of
Polk and Dallas express his qualification at it !;
but the person who retailed that portion of his
marks forgot to tell the remainder, which was
this in effect "that the total rout of as desper-
ate band of political jugglera as ever existed
was made douby sure by such nominations"
The name of the Hon. JAMES K RICHARDS, of
Warren county, Va, is also paraded by them
There is no such man in that countyw The per-
son alluded to is JAMES r. RICHARDS, as true and
unfiInching Wing as ever lived. The prefix of
hon. is placed before his name, we presume, to
give additional weight to the recantation: but
to those who know him, nothing of the kind is
requisite-he is Wing from the start" that is
honorable enough for him.

A RUMORED DUEL.

The Norfolk Herald says that duel was ar
ranged to "come off" between John Tyler, jr.
and H. Peasants, (brother of the editor of the
Richmond Whig,) growing out of an article
which the latter published in the Wing, reAect-
ing on the course of the senior Mr.. Tyler. The
Herald says that it was reported that the Difficult
ty had been satisfactorily adjusted" but adds
in postscript: "After the above was in type,
we were assured upon authority which we could
not doubt, that the affair was not settled, and that
the parties went up yesterday "Wednesday
morning on the railroad to Margarettsville in
Northampton, N. c., in the neighborhood of which
place the duel is to come off to day Thursday at

OUTRAGEOUS CONDUCT AT ANNAPOLIS
regret much to be informed of disgraceful riot
which took place on the 4th at Annapolis, between
some persons who proceeded there on board the
steamboat Columbia and portion of the Annapo-
litans Several boats went down from this c-
ty, taking with them two or three thousand per-
sons. Some time after dinner difficulty took
place, which gave rise to excited feeling. Who
were in fault, or with whom it originated, we
have not been able to learn. When the bell of
the Columbia was ringing for the last time pre-
paratory to putting out, large party approached
the wharf much enraged, and commenced throw
ing stones, brickbats, &C., thick almost as hail,
into the boat These were returned with equal
force from those on board. These outrages are
deeply to be lamented, and, from similar occur
rences heretofore, when excursion parties from
Baltimore visited that ancient city, we are con-
strained to believe that the Annapolitans were
acting more on the defensive than offensive.

It is announced that Mr. Thomas Lloyd has
been appointed by Mr.. Tyler surveyor Of the port
of Baltimore, in place of Mr.. William Pinkney,
removed. Mr.. Pinkney received his appointment
from General Harrison, and the surprise is that
he has not been removed before-the fact of an
appointment from Gen. Harrison having proved,
in most cases, fatal to the appointee. This is the
only charge that could be made against Mr.. P.
This and other removals which Mr.. Tyler has
made or contemplates, might seem to call for
remarks but as they would be lost on him, we
must look to the 4th of March next, when new
and better order of things will begin.--Bah. Pat.

The Savannah (Ga.) Republican takes the fol-

CHOW, we are decidedly of the opinion that

his brigade are in adOance Of the mail! These
corPorals captains, majors, DC, will be apt to

AssERTIoN.-It is we'll known to the country,
that Mr. Dallas, when he did support United
States Bank, supported it, like true Republican,
under structions-Sauannah Georgian.
PRooF.-Monday, January 8, lS32-Mr. Dal-
las presented the memorial of the Bank of the
United States, praying for recharter, and said,
che could not but feel strongly impressed by the
recollection that the Legislature of Pennsylvania
recently and in effect unanimously had recon-
mended the recharter of the Bank. He came
there WILLING as he was virtually an instructed
AGENT in promoting, to the extent of his ability,
an object which, however dangerously timed its
introduction might seem, oas in itself entitled to
every consideration and taror."-(See Register
of Debates, vol. 8, part l, page 55)
Augusta Chronicle.
We believe it is susceptible of proof that Mr..
Dallas sought the honor as he then deemed it, of
presenting the petition of the United States Bank
for recharter, from Mr.. Biddle; by which means
he secured to himself the appointment of chair
man of the committee which he then proposed
and succeeded in raising on the petition, and sub
sequently reported the charter.

OMENs OMENs The Locofocos seem to be
very unfortunate nowadays If they attempt
to raise pole, fire gun, or "run up" "Polk
and Texas flag, some mischief is sure to frus-
trate their design. The Zenia CO., Torchlight
says they attempted to raise pole in that village
little taller than that of the Wings, by splicing
together Hickory and Polk Weed. On the first
attempt there was regular built failure. The
pole came down with crash, breaking off at the
annexation! The next day they gave it another
trial, and down it came again, causing disunion
between Old and Young Hickory, and bruising
and battering the pokes at ruinous rate. Giving
up, at last, all hopes of outtoppng the Wing pole,
or inducing the poke to soar as high as the eagle,
they went to work and cut off some fifty feet of
their pole, when it presented but sorry specta-
Gle alongside of the towering Ash in its vicinity.

mendous dropping of feathers among the "fy-up-
the-creeks" in that neighborhood Where is

understand, there were near 325 persons, who
dined at the tables
T. Richie presided at the head Of the centre

TO Polk and Dallas-and that it had no more TO
do with John as famous resolution, than with
the Lunar Eclipse Of the 9th ult., or the Solar

of Virginia are the last men TO celebrate, and the

and sees no danger in such an outpolring OF the
