OURANG OUTANa.-A female Ourang
oniang, about three years old, says the
Salem Register, arrived at this port on
Friday in the brig Northumberland, from
Africa. She is very docile and intelli-
gent, and at,racks much attention. As to
her accomplishments, she is something of
a painter. for a few days ago she possess.
ed herself of paint pot and brush, and
mounting the rigging, proceeded to display
her arlisiical powers on canvass, leaving
specimen of her skill, which is still WIS.,
ible, on one of the sails. She can smoke
segar with all the grave Of Spanish la
dy. and tender it, from her own mouth, to
any gentleman standing near, as politely
as though versed in all the accomplish
men!s of the French school. She is also
something of housewife, and disciple
Of the manual labor school, for she can
help herself to coffee and draw water from
a pump as readily as any of the biped
race without tails. In short, we dare not
relate all her wonderful qualities, lest they
be deemed Incredible Saturday Couri-
ef.

FRANKLIN KNIGHT, Esq.

AN ELOQUENT lDEA.-During the course
Of his remarks at the grand rally in New
Market, on the 18th inst, Gen. Gordon
alluded to his acquaintance with Col.
Polk. 81 was" said Gen. c. intimately
acquainted with Col Polk for more than
six years; having roomed with him, and
had Every opportunity TO know him thor
oughly. He is a man Of the pures, NOR
ais, exalted talents and refined virtue I"
He also alluded to the lady of Col. Polk
spoke of her as every way qualified to
adorn and dignity the White House. The
speaker then humorously alluded TO the
fact Of their being chi!l!ess-and referred
TO the same coincidence in the history Of
several Of the best, wises, and most pa,ri-
oic of our Presidents But" added the
eloquent Gordon, !" elect Col. Polk Pres
ldent, and the Union will be their child
the whole nation will be their family 3
And well and nobly is he qualified; both
in morality and talents, to take charge of
such glorious family :"
Who then can hesitate in his choice be-
tween Henry Clay, whose private charac.
ter is blackened and distorted by almost
every vice which is prevalent in our land,
and James Il. Polk, whose eminent pub.
lie services, are only equalled by the pu>
rity Of bis private life ?-Rockingham

We noticed in our paper few days a.
go. tia. Mr.. knight. publisher of fac
smile of Washington's account Of his
public expenditures during the war of the
revolution, and also his letters to Sir
John Sinclair, on agricultural and other
interesting subjects, was in the city for
the purpose Of disposing of the same.
Amongst numerous letters of commen>
dalion from distinguished individuals. ac-
companying the above work. we find one
from the Hon. Jno. Sergeant, from which
we make the following extract. Speak
ing Of Washing,on's accounts, he says:
This simple memoir is full Of instruc-
lion. II teaches all, and especially the
young, that economy, order, and univer
sal consclentiousness, even in the small
est matters Of confidence, not only may
be consistent with the greatest capacity,
and most splendid achievements. but are
indispensable to their perfection. No
thing in the character Of Washington, IN
deed. strikes me as more admirable, than
his deep and abiding sense, under all cir
cumsIances, of his just accountability, un.
less it be the nnwavering frmness with
which he rejected and deied all other
motives Of conduct. from whatever quar-
ter, or under whatever plausible appear
ances presufledH:' His integrity was OF
the same strength as his wisdom and
power. and hence the fine harmony which
blended the hero; The sage, and the patri-
OF, all in colossal proportions, with what
l fear may be thought by many, unwor-
thy the associalion-an honest man. NO
thing was too minute for his attention.
which it was his duty TO do. With his
own hand, day by day, in the midst Of
,he greatest employ mepts. and while build.
|. ing for himself an enduring fame, he found
time to keep the account of his smalles,
expenditures, so as to have it always rea-
DIV for settlement, and to show his coun-
try how the money entrusted TO him had
been employed. In this. as in all his I'm.
der,akings, he subjected himself to the
| most rigorous exac,ions. asking no con-
| cesslon to his great merits and services, nc
| indulgence for The unavoidable demands
upon his time. no excuse for haste or i'm
perfection. The work was done and
proved itself.
Would that his country, enriched by
his pure fame, had in this, initiated the
example of her illustrious son. Then
would the lofty column, long ere now,
have fulfilled the promise, to grace our
land with beneliling monument of our
sense of the worth of Washington But
i. fails in the performance, as he never
did.

may be realized. asd the good work you
