From the Loltiisiana Courier.

From hbe Lolisidaa Courier CLAY AND FRELINGHUYSEN, .4 bad Par0dy on a io0rse subject.
 BY pR. wAppLE. A whigite to the White-House bound. Cried, people, do not tary, And l will give thee measures sound, If your votes can carry. Now who be ye would climb so high Mid freedoms sons arising ?-- Oh Pm the chief of whiggefy, And this is Frelinghuysen. And long and bold to freedoms sons We two have lied together, And should the Locos beat us now, Our party's dead forever. Out spoke the hardy yeoman bold, We'll go, old Clay, we're ready Your dastard lies we've long been told, And now we'll surely head yc. And by our word We will be heard, Nor ireemen longer tarry-- So though the whigs are striving hard, We'll beat you, federal Harry. By this the votes went on apace; The people thus were speaking, And soon each brazen federal face Crew mortal dark and sncaking, These men have left homestead shade, To lead the strife before them, And now too strong for federal aid, The Polldtes gather OCT them. But still they strive amidst the rush Of Locos fast prevailing The Clayites see their day is gone, And hopes are changed to wailing. Come back come back the whiggies cry Adown this water rising, And we'll ne'er seek to raise 50 high, Old Clay and frelinghuysen. Twas vain! the people voted right, Return or aid preventing The waters then went OCT their men, And koous were left lanenting.

"MoRE TRUTH THAN POETRY

As readers will bear us witness, we have sought to fight the great political battle, in which we are engaged, with the arms of truth and argument, with outresoFt to verse or song any thing of the latter kind, enching on politics, has, at times, found its way into our columns it has been the contribution of another hand than ours, and without our knowl- edge. We have no wish to sing our candidate into the Presidential chair. But, we must confess, the following takes our fancy. "Lord Uln's Daugh- ter' was great iavorite of our boyhood-and who has escaped its fascination? While the following parody does, indeed orwe are greatly mistaken tain vast deal 'more of tuM than poetry" We must indulge our fancy, in giving it a conspicuous place. We endorse the prediction, and the " ides ol November" will verify it, that !" the people voted riqht"

\ CUNNING CooN.-0n Tuesday one of the delegates to the Clay Convention let his enthusiasm get the better of his discretion, and in thoughtess moment imbbed too much hard cider mixed with a little harder brandy. He was fully conscious of his eie- poted condition, and he thought it would be rather dscrediable 10 the whig party, if it were known that one of the delegates was seen staggering through the streets drunk.- To ward off this disgrace, he would, every few minutes, hurrah for Polk and Dalles.- The whgs enjoyed this for 6 short timeaina- zingIy, but at length he was met by one of his whg acquaintanees who went up to him in no very pleasant mood and accosted him, ..Why, Jim, what do yoa mean by haIooing for the Loco Focos have you turned s- 'sIiush up," said Jim, in whisper, '.pve got drunk and don't want to let them know Pm Clay man. Hurrah for Polk and Dallas,'' hallooed Jim, and went staggering on his Fittsburg .Ifercuy and JWannf fact,trer.

Joe had been money for several years, for the purpose of eventually gong 10 Jerusalem, n- tending 10 issue a proclamation calling in the Jews, over whom he was to be head until the return of Christ upon earth-which event he believed would take place d5 years from 1874.

Had we thought more of this in times past. and pfactlsed more on the true principles of Christian Republic, our political strife would be rather strife in generosity and an emulation in public virtue than the broils of excited partsans.
 We say this, at the close of an election. III reference to the manner in which victory or defeat (let it come to whom it mavl sboul1 be received. No partisan of our countrv- men can ever be regarded as enemies: and. therefore, no partisan should exult over an- other Ill the manner of enemies. We have a right to rejoice i'll the success of our opinions and principles, but we have no ricbt to en- bitter the feelings of our opponents: forthev are our telloW-citizens, and we may need thelr sympathies and assistance in the con- mon concerns oi our country We know not who may have occasion to rejoice over the general results of the pending contest. but whoever It may be, we trust he will re- member that all citizens are members of il common country and a common brotherhood oi man. We are whigs, feeling the full sym pathles of whigs; but not on that account, we trust, less liberal and patriotic in senti- ment and purpose. We trust that if differ ences of policy, or differences in the choice oi men continue the necessity for parties, we may act as patriots, and walk together to- wards the great objects which every republi- can and Christian should have in view-the welfare of his country, the progress of Re publican Institutions, and the elevation and happiness of the human race.

 The increase in the private steam marine during the last twenty-Gvs years has been prodigous. In l8l4, there was ONE steamer oi 69 tons in the United Kingdom, and that belonged to Scotlond Next year Great Bri- tain had eight steamers-three English. five Scotch. In 1916, we had iwelve-England five, Scotland seven. In l7l8, Ireland made beginning with one, and the total of tue United Kingdom was fourteen In 1918 the Southern Saxon shot ahead-having got ten steamers, Scotland eight, Ireland still sticking at one. The propositions of last year are 646 for England, l28 for Scotland, and SI for Ireland.

THE MERcANTIL MARINE OF ENGLAND FRANCE, AND THE UNITED STATEs-An in- teresting pamphlet has just appeared from the pen of Mir Bayley, Surveyor to Lloyd's, rela- tive to the mercantile marine of Great Bri- tain, the United States, and France. These statements, compiled from official records, may be relied on, and they furnish striking view of the rapid advance which America has madein maritime advancement. A sum- mary of the most striking facts in the pamph- let VIC annex, referring those interested in the elaborate tabular statistics which t con- tains, to the work itself The records of American shipping are necessarily less com plete than those of England. The total num- Der of British vessels built and registered in Europe and the colonies, in 1902, was 2.lSl. measuring according to the then mode 137,- 800 tons. In 1842, the number was l.4SI ships of 207, 500 tons In 1903 (there is no retuan for lS02,) the total number of vessels belonging to the British empire was 20,S92, the tonnage ?, ,167,863; in 1842, the ships were 30, 1S5, with 3,6l9,850 toms
 The ratio of increase in America is much greater than this; but the returns specify the tonnage only. The amount in 1790 was 478,377 tons, which in 1884 had grown to 1,758, SOY tons. In 1921 the total tonnage of British vessels entered in American ports was 76,900 tons this had increased in 1884 240, ,709 tons, the American tonnage having also risen from 271 800 in the first period 10 431, 100 tons in the last, The carrying trade detween France and the United States is now lost to England, which in 1921 had 27,300 tons in that traffic; in the following year it decreased to 24,400 tons. and las since virtually ceased. The French tonnage
 in the American trade was 4,70O in 1921, and rose until 1894, when it reached 35,l00; but during the same period, the American arose from 1000 to IF, 2,600 tons. Tine to- tai tonnge belonging to France was 694,-
