lsIana-an opponent to the admission of
MIssourl--an opponent of Georgia, in the
case OF removal of the Indians--a high
Tariff man--an anti."Sunday mall'' man;
loose constructionist of the Constitution,
and decided and uniform Federalistof
the New England school. And vet, he
owes his nomination to southern Wing
votes! The motive is apparent: it is a
sop to the fanaticism of New England; a
trap TO catch votes; sweet morseI to in
duce fractions children to swallow bitter
pill without making wry faces. The New
York Evening Post thus happily hits off
this "new arrangement" in political BUSH
ness:
"The coupling of Mr.. Frelinghuysen's
name with that of Mr.. Clay, Produces up
on almost every mind feeling which is
very like sense of the ludicrous. Tell
any one, that while Henry Clay has been
nominated for the Presidency, The choice
for the Vice Presidency has fallen upon
Theodore Frelinghuysin, and he will be
sure TO smile, cunningly, knowingly, as if
he were laughing in his sleeve at a
thought 10 which the curious association
gives rise; and i: must be admitted that it
is an odd conjunction, this of the An,ipo-
deans, whose daily walk and conversation
are, as it were, upside down to each other;
though, if the finesse were not so ludic-
rously evident, it would be what the world
might call a clever arrangement.
"Mr. Frelinghuysen is known to be a
man of extreme religious opinions, while
Mr.. Clay's opinions and conduct, if reports
speak true, are any thing but religious.
The one uses the language of the church &
the other Of the card table. One is bold,
inpetuous and profane, and the other cau-
tious, quite and pious. They will serve
as admirable fois to each other. The
high, strong Ca!vinism Of the Vice, shield
ing the lax morality of the Chief, and the
dashing liberalism Of the Chief, softcning
the strongest anti Sunday.mailism Of the
Vice."
The "spirit of Whiggery," of which we
used to hear so much in 40, has certainly
transmigrated from the body Of rowdyism
to that of sanctimonious decorum, and re
minds one forcibly Of the old distich:
"The devil was sick
The devil monk would be:
The devil got we'll
The devil monk was he!"
"The liberty Press" an Abolition print
published at Utica; says: "The Wings
have nominated the Hon. Theodore Ere.
linghuysen candidate for the Vice Presi-
dency-a popular candidate. A better
selection they could not make, without ta-
king an Aboitionist.

THE NEW WING VICE PRESIDENT!
THE FEDERAL TICKET.

Great as was the surprise of the Wing
party in 1910, at the nomination OF Gen.
Harrison, it is exceeded by the recent
nomination ofMr. Frelinghuysen, as Vice
President. 1t had been promised so often
to "roguish John Davis" of Massachusetts,,
tina, it was acceded to him by general an.
ticipation. But it seems he was obnox-
ious to the charge of being Webster man,
and too strongly impregnated with the
tints of Massachusetts Federalism, TO be
acceptable to the south, and he was there
fore discarded. Fillmore of New York,
the father of the "black Tariff" was
strongly urged on the convention, bal
with no effect. 1t is not the least strange
feature in tho nomination of Mr.. Freiing
huysen, by southern votes, that he is, ii
political matters, quite as Questionable d
MIR. Davis. While all Admit his purity 0
morals, we supposed every body as
knew of his connection with the oppo
nents of southern institutions and mea

IMPORTANT CORRESPONDENCE

The correspondence between the Sec
rotary of State and the British Minister,
in to days paper, will arrest general at
tention.
1t will be seen how easily Mr.. Calhoun
brushes away the cobwebs of diplomacy
and astounds John Bulls envoy by con-
fronting him with the true meanIng.of his
words.
Tho most amusing thing about the cor
respondence, if not in the annals Of dip
lomacy, is the fact, that subsequent to
writing his letter to Mr.. Calhoun, Mr..
Packenham has found it necessary to write
home to ascertain what construction should
be put on the letter--and whether. or moi
his own letter contains "denial" Of the
charges made by our Government.

goodness TO refer once more to the copy
of Lord Aberdeen's despatch, which lies
before him, he will find the following ex-
position of the intentions of Great Britain
on this point, which the undersigned Hat
tered himself would have been sulficlen!
to forbid any such inference: "WIth re-
gard TO Texas, we avow that we wish to
see slavery abolished there, lis elsewhere,
and we should rejoice if the recognition
of Neutrality-suspicious. Of that country by
the Mexican Government Should be ac-
companied by an engagement on the part
of Texas, to abolish slavery eventually,
and under proper conditions throughout
the Republic. But, although we earnestly
desire and feel it to be our duty to promote
such a consummatlon, we shall not inter
fere unduly, or vita an improper assump-
ton of authority, with either party, (elther
Mexico or Texas) in order 10 insure the
adoption of such course. We shall
counsel, bnt we shall not seek to compel
or unduly control either party. SO far as
Great Britain is concerned, provided 9TH
err States act with equal forbearancc, those
Governments will be fully at liberty to
make their own unfettered arrangements
with each other, both in regard to the abb
clifton of slavery and 10 all other points. y
The undersigned takes advantage OF
this opportunity TO renew to the Hon. Mr.
Calhoun the assurances of his high conric'

From the Constitutionalist.

A public dinner was given on the 9th
instant 20 General Thompson, by the cit
liens of Greenville, S. C. On the health
of the General being drunk, he returned
his Acknowledgements for the manner he
had been received by his friends and fell
low citizens. In the course of his address
he related the follow incident:
ale spoke of Gen. Santa Anna, and re-
lated many anecdotes of him. greatly to
his honor. His career had been remark.
able from his boyhood. He had risen
from the rank of Ensign, unaided but by
his own courage and talents, both OF
which Gen. t. thinks he possesses in an
eminent degree. His whole career has
been marked by incidents, showing a
mind always fruitful in resources, and a
courage, moral and physical, that shrinks
from nothing. He was man of high i'm
pulses, strong feelings, and at times, of
stormy passions, which had sometimes led
him TO the commission of acts which can
not be justified or excused. But his ma
tural disposition is not only not cruel, but
kind and benevolent. Gen. T. mention
ed many anecdotes TO prove this, and said
empha,cally, that he had on no occasion
allowed an opportunity to pass unimproved
of doing generous actson, when he could
with propriety have done it.
Amongst the many interesting Incl
dents which Gen. II. mentioned, there
was one particularly so, as it related to a
gentleman born and educated in this
reighborhood-Mr. Samuel A. Maverick
which, in the language Of Gen. Thomp-
son, was not only honorable TO the man
himself, but 10 human nature. Mr. Ma.
vcrick is a young man of large fortune
with a young wife and three or four inter
esting children. When he arrived at his pri.
son at Perotc, he wrote 10 Gen. Il. inform
ing him that he was there, and in chains
but said that he neither asked nor expected
any interposition from Gen. Thompson, as
he considered that such interpositon nigh
no, be proper, and only asking the Gen.
eral to convey some letters to his family
Gen. T. nevertheless set about obtaining
his release, and as there was then nego
tiation on foot for the remuneration o
Texas 10 Mexico, Gen. T. wrote TO Mr.
Maverick, saying that if he was really in
favor of such remuneration, and would say
so, that he thought his release would GER
tainly be granted, as he, Gen. T., would
say to President Santa Anna that any
promise which Maverick made would
certainly be complied with. Mr.. MAYER
ick replied, 81 regret that | cannot bring
myselft to think that it would be the inter
est of Texas to re-unie with Mexico
This being my settled opinion, | canno
sacrifice the interest of my country, ever
to obtain my liberty; still less can say
SO, when such is not my opinion, for re
gard lie as crime, and one which can
not commit. must therefore make up my
mind to wear my chains, calling as the!
are. Gen. Il. said that the virtue an
constancy of Regulus, which had immor
taIized his name, did not exceed this; an
he felt special pride in this heroic virtue
because Maverick was South Carolinia
his neighbor, and the "kinsman of hi
kinsmen."

Loved being of my soul the dearest Part'
Sometimes voice will make my pulses fly
AS at thy real presence, beauty's smile
Will oft beguile me, and kindly eye
Not long can such similitudes begu'!c;
ForI have wandered far, and felt the might
Ofsou,hern loneliness and northern wit,
But every charm at length has taken flight
And at Visions feet again sat.
Oh, now become embodied, spirit'brIde'

A sacred place awaits thee by my side,
Come, share with me the sunlight, and

Hong for thee at twilight, when the leaves
Tremble with Joy 10 meet the cheering

And Nature her screnest garland weaves
To crown with peace the weary brow OF

leave the wild flower on its lonely stalk,
Thou art not there TO consecrate the

And piny fragrance, or the sunset ray,
If mid their fond communons am lone
From the rich page of genius would turn
To read responses in thy glowing cheek
And see the bard's seraphic fire burn
In thy bright gaze OF rapture-wlld ane

With thee the cir of song would inhale
And feel anew its sweetness, down the
