CURIOUS ORIGIN OF A LONG AND
BLOODY BATTLE.

When Louis VII, 10 obey the injunc.
ton of his bishop. cropped his hair and
shaved his beard, Eleanor, his consort,
found him with this unusual appearance
very ridiculous. She revenged herself as
she thought proper, and the shaved King
obtained divorce. Eleanor then mar
ried the Count of Anjou, afterwards our
Henry II. Shehad for her marriage dover
the rich provinces OF Potion and Guienne,
land this was the origin of those wars
which for three hundred years ravaged
France, and cost the French three mil
lions of men: all of which probably had
never occurred had Louis not been so rash
as TO crop his hair and shave his head, by
which he became SO odious in the eyes of
Queen Eleanor.

distinguished amid the corruptions that
surrounded him for his purity as citizen,
for his eloquence as public man, and
his firm and ardent support of the great
principles of Democratic faith.
Resolred, That the principles set forth
in the resolutions of the late Baltimore
Democratic Convention meet our most
hearty sanction, and as the creed and

WARN THE COMMITTEES!

These were the last words of the illus
trious Jefferson. AS his spirit, waiting
for the morn of the Glorious Fourth to
take its flight, yet fingered, his half I'M
conscious thoughts reverted TO the early
DAYS of the revolution. WARN THE COM.
MITES, he was wont TO exclaim. Could
the apostle of liberty see the vast combi-
nation of associated wealth and reckless
politicians TO obtain power-could he see
this combination led on by an apostate
from his iples-could he speak with
the energy of'76-how would he cry out,
as one of the faithful and responsible SEN
tinels on the political watchower-
WARN THE COMMITTEES! The
earnest exhortation, so needfuIl in l776 to
win our liberties, is now needed TO sustain
them. A party is marshaled with prin.
cples and measures for its rally-word as
dangerous internally in their anti-republi-
can tendencies as the British troops were
externally; for evil principles are no.
more corrupting than invading armies
Let every Democrat, then, sound wide
the note of preparation, for the enemy is
in the field ORGANIZE! Organise prompt
ly--or it is no sign of good generaIship to
wait until the enemy's battalions are
wheeling 10 the attack, ere preparations
are made for the battle! Organise fdith-
fully, that when the crisis comes not a
Democratic vote may be lost through in
difference. Democrats! do this work
faithfuliy-do it promptly-doii unitedty
sink personal preferences and personal
prejudices-come together in perfect
union--and glorias triumph will crown
your efforts. The nomination Of the able
ands accomplished statesman-JAMEs X.
POLK and GEORGE M. DALLAs--has
thrown an energy into tho ranks of De-
mocracy that is akin to the spirit that ami
mated it when 1t went forth under The he
no OF New Orleans to put devon a corrupt
bank monopoly. Up then Democrts, to
the work. Warn the committees! Some
times they do not fully express the popu.
lar sentiment, and need enforcing. Meet
together; call the roll of the Democracy;
circulate Democratic papers. Let the
watch.word be, from now TO November,

THE BARGAIN.

Henry Clay was charged few weeks
since, in the House of Representatives,
by the Hon. Lynn Boyd of Kentucky,
with having written letter in 1925 to
Francis P. Blair, for the express purpose
Of carrying into effect the bargain with
Adams. This letter can be made public
if Mr.. Clay will consent to its being pub
ished; but he dare not do it, as it will
convict him before the world as a dishon-
est and corrupt bargainer TO defeat the
election Of Gen. Jackson, to secure him
self the office of Secretary of State. Is
this 'great embodiment" who disobeyed
the wishes of his constituents, and sold
himself to a man whom he had previously
stigma,lzed as his enemy, for an Office
worth $1,000 year, worthy of being
trusted with the high and responsible sta
ton he is now aiming at? An idignant
people will tell him in November next
NO! Mdshrille Union.

one OF much interest. The settlement of
the tariff question, and the important me-
notiations which will be shortly entered
into concerning Oregon and sTexas, are
matters about which the public will wish
the earliest and most correct information.
eminent for long period TO come, it will
determine whether the country is to con-
,nue TO suffer under the blghting opera
ton of protective tariff and a corruptirg

trade & a sound currency. In view ofthese
things, we hope our Democratic friends in
this and the adjoining couties will assist
us in extending our circulation.

The Male Couuette.

There is nothing on earth more despicable
than your acknowledged male coquette. lie is
an anomaly in the human character,-a mon
stor i'll the world. He plays part for which
nature never designed bm--the Joan dare of
civil te Coquetry, with female is pardon
able--for it is natural. We believe all the sex
are more or less inclined to it, 1t is not con-
fined to one country nor one religions 1t is per-
ceptible in the tawny Indian girl and the dark
faced African. 1t flaunts in the atmosphere of
fashionable extravaganza, and looks out from a
pair of roguish eyes, beneath the drab bennett
of the Quakeress. II is part Of the female
character,--and, with some restrictions, very
excellent part. 1t promotes personal neatness
and decorum of habit--t bends every faculty of
the mind to the desire of pleasing--it deveopes
every latent charm Of intellect 1t is that which
renders the conversation of women, even of Or
dnary talents, frequently far more agreeable
than that OF a man, whose mind has been highly
cultivated, and whose powers of fancy are bril-
liant and superior. Woman's wit is seldom ex-
erted for the mere purpose of shining in con-
versation--it is rather called forth by pre-
dominant desire to please,-and this is CO.
quetry in its legitimate sense, in its proper
spere. The idea of La Rochefoucauld "ies
! femmcS pcupent mUinc surmonter ieur coguet-
teire, que teus passions" is not true, at least
so far as our observation has extended CO.
quctry and passion are almost always united in
| the female heart. They hold natural and salu-
! tary check over each other.-And it is well that
they do so, They prevent alike premature and
disgusting fondness, and cold-hearted vanity
and scltove,
But your man co1uette (Hcavcn forfend us
from him)--he is undeserving of the least cha
rity. With him the words of the Preacher are
verified, VANITY, vanity-all is vanity" 1t
a cold and selfish purpose-a hallow hearted
love Of trumph--a brutal carelessness of wrong.
ed and outraged ieelng-a morbid desire o. in-
terestng in himself hearts, of whose pangs and
struggles he recks not--whose affection ho
would call forth, that the multitude may envy
him its possession, not TO meet its full flow of
confdng tenderness, by the sympathy Of his
own cold and ndurated bosom. 1t is an un-
profitable monopoly OF that attention from the
other sex, which he scorns to repay with hon.
orablc love.
