New MODE OF CATCHING THE POLITICIANS
Marine, & Co., No. IL Wall st., have brought out
quite novelty in the form Of Clay q Frelinghuy-
sen letter paper The article is of beautfulquali-
ty, and adorned with vgnette engraving Of those
two personages. The likenesses are faithful ones.
On the visage of Harry Of the West" plays an
eastern smile, as "bright as the beams Of the morn
ing sky" from which, we presume, that whilst sit
ting for the artist, he must have been bordering
the result of the Louisiana election, or INDUCING in
day dream about another coming one. The
aspect of Frelinghuysen, wears an air Of pious abb
straction, mingled with dash of the old tough,
dogmatical Presbyterian. worthy Of John Knox
himself. Probably he was engaged in some act Of
pious meditation, when sitting for his picture-per
haps praying, like David of old, for aid to overcome
his enemies. The design, however, is beautiful

A Clay handkerchief has also been introduced
by Davis & Rhines, No. Al Exchange Place. The
centre piece, good representation Of Mr.. Clay
and we hear have already attracted good patronage
Some out and out loco-foco said he would buy one,
if itwere but to have the pleasure of blowing his
nose on Clay; but this, Of course, will have no
weight with the refined.

Sgnor and Signora Cassella are now sojourning
at Saratoga, and were announced to give a concert
at the United States Hotel last evening"
