BRAHAM, HI G

The Gatcshead (Eng.) Observer had re-
Gently a paragraph suggested BY an old En-
gIish newspaper, the LoLdon Morning Post
of July 18th 1857, and the perusal in it of
that days "biIl of fare" of the "Royal Thea
tre,' - Well street, London, where, amongst
other attractions, ."The soldier tired of vars
alarms" is announced to be sung By MASTER
Braiam, who is now signali2ed as a veteran
singer. At the time when Master Braham
sang this song, says the Observer; Lord
North was England's prime minister; Pit-
and Franklin, Burke and Washington, weFs
prominent performers on tbs public stage;
Louis XVI still wore his head, and Tom
Paine was sharpening the axe for It's remov-
al; SeTingapatam was unslormed By Corn
wallis; Buns was in his prime, and Cowper
still deIighting the world with his verse; By
ron was a child in arms, Napoleon a name I'M
known, and Mrs. Siddons dawning Ito iame.
Braham has outlived them all-and, after
a lapse of nearly So years, is still before the
public, "living TO please, and pleasing 10
%liret!" The voice which charmed The ear(if
he were musical) of George The Third, when
he had still three aud thirty years 10 reign,
may also have been heard by hisgreai grand
son, Albert, Prince OF Wales! A strange
reminiscence, rena rks the Boston Transcript,
but yet a true one, and calculated TO make
us think of the improvement Of a long life,
and of the great beauty Of the commandment.

that piece Of his in our machine; and while
we acknowledge ouTself gratifed at his
reformation in this respect, We feel con
strained TO add that unless he ceases to act the

him in hand again. For of the two errors,

Mr.. LEWIS, of Tennessee was turned out
of Office 10 make room Tor McCalla, of Ken

a friend. Mf. Lewis heard il, and thereupon
wrote Mr.. Polk as lollowes:
WASHINGTON, May 8, 1915.
Sir: learn from a private source that yon
have minated that my removal from Office
vas rendered necessary, because the posi-
ton | occupied was dangerous 10 the Gov
ernment, in as much as it would enable me
10 impart information TO a foreign power 10
the disadvantage ofmy own country.
Hope there is some mistake in this-you
had the right to take my Office from me, but
not my reputation beg therefore, tobe in
formed whether you have made the impu-
tation against me to which l have refer
red.

Ter, on the 10Th of May again addressed Mr..
Polk as follows:
WASHINGTON, May 10, lS45.
Sir: Having waited a week and received
no reply to my note, | am authorized to be-
lieve that you have decided not TO answer it,
from which | infer that the limitations there
in referred 10, as having been made by you,
are true or you would have svailed yourself
of the opportunity thus afforded to you to dis
avow them. ! think proper, therefore, to in
form you that | propose leaving tomorrow

To TX. Polk, Esq,
President of the United States.
The French Ministe ter in Washington, the
Louisville Journal states, is son ,in-Iaw to Ma.
jor Lewis, and MIR. Folks reason for dismiss

give some improper information to a foreign
power in consequence of his connection will

this suspicion was exceedingly offensive Il
Lewis, as it at once implicated his honor a:
a gentleman and his fidelity as an officer O
the Government.
The Journal adds:
One of Gen. Jackson's LAT est letters wa,
addressed to Mai. Lewis. The following ex.
tract from that letter is very significant of tbs
Generals feelings in relation to the course
pursued by Polk towards Major Lewis:
"My dear Major--I regret your remova
as well as the manner of it. / did suppose
that the magnanimity of Col. Polk woult
prevent him from the removal of any Office
without giving him notice thereof-that tht
officer might make arrangements TO hand the
Office to his successor. You know, Major
that | neither beg for myself or friends, anc
if ! had been in the habit, it was too late

0JUsTICE TO Holm TYLER.n

The only two living Tyler papers, the Ma
dsonian and Old School Republican, are labo-
ring with might and main to make the people
or rather that infinitely small portion who
condescend to read their twattle, believe
that John Tyler, in nominating w. H. Polk
to the Consuship at Naples, acted from pure
ly disinterested motives 1t may be mat
ter of surprise TO some to learn that the ex-
cuse offered for this movement on the part
of the acting president was that Col. Polk,
on coming into office, would not, from pure
modesy, presume TO appoint brother TO
Office; andtherefore the modest Mr. Syler:who
has sought out every kith and kin in Chris
tendon who was ever suspected of being OF
his blood, from sons and brothers down to
forty second cousins, and given them Office
without regard TO their fitness or qualifca-
tion, has volunteered to spare Mr.. Polk the
unpleasant duty of appointing brother 10
place under his own administration. The
lion skin, however, cannot cover the ears Of
the ass, in this case. The desire of laying
President Polk under obligations 10 recipro-
cate the kindness shown 10 his brother by
the retiring President, in order TO secure Il
foreign mission TO HIMSELF is too palpable TO
escape the eye of the most unobservant; and
if Mr.. Tyler is not permitted, after the fourth
of March, to seek the deepest shades of re-
TRACY, for this one act of fawning sycophan-
cy, then indeed, will that retributve justice"
for which his few friends have been bawling
so Justify, fail TO be meted out TO him.

what Ohio Cannot Escape.

We have no faith in the whig portion Of
the Ohio Legislature giving ear to the admo-
nitons of experience, or we would urge the
example which New York has given the 9th
er States in Banking, as a ripe caution
against practising the same folly here. We
consider that the wings have already shown
in their action on the Kelley Bank Bill, both
in Senate and House, that no argument can
reach their senses save for the passage of
the measure. They heed no warning,-they
disregard all danger,--they hold in contempt
all adverse opinion,-Ahey clothe their eyes
against the plundering of the people by Just
such scheme in other States,-blind and
infatuated they rush upon their fate. They
must go their own way, therefore, but they
go with rapid gait 10 inevitable doom-the
people will spurn their banilng and rebuke
their insolence. To the people it shall be
our purpose TO appeal. And tina. they may
know and realize the danger they are subject
ed to by this Bank project, and that they
may see themselves plundered in anticipation
by the Institutions it creates, we direct their
attention TO the practca! test of a similar
system in New York-a mirror, in which we
all can behold our own Banking features re-
hected to the life. We avail ourselves of
the synopsis OF the Comptroller's Report, for
the year just closed, as prepared by the New
York News.
