HYDRANT MIRTHFULNEss.

Our little 7 by friends of Philadelphia--in-
GLIDING the Ledger-are making merry with
our names personally and papieraHy.
In the last Ledger we perceive an attempt a,
wit, which is almost hit

destiny, although as wise as SoLL-E-man, is no,
Abel to knock down our, Simmons. .
Hear how they talk:
"ORaANs !"-The Times says that the Madiso-
MAN is to become the "U. 8. Journal" in sterling
"Fiskap condition, and with "Dow".ty editor. We
understand things differently. GU. s. Journal
means that it will be an Un-Sate Journal as Fi,ka
agent and that the clique of the other organ will bea
"Rowdy-Dow" upon it. Nous Ve,rons.
The "Un-Safe Journap' will be death upon

AFFAIRS IN CONNECTICUT.

We give to-day the reply Of one Of our friends
in Connecticut, TO a communication which APP
peared in our paper few days ago, respecting
the result of the late election in that State.
We published the former, as we do the latter,
because THIS PRESS Is FREE. We claim 10 be
the organ through which the injured aud the
agrieved can make their wrongs and wishes
known. We have now done justice TO both
parties, and here the discussion must eease-al
least so far as we are concerned.
The appointment al New Haven was made
at the request of many of the leading men OF
the State the President acted, as he thought,
for the best-ths all the parties admit he is not
blamed by any No man ever filed the Presi-
dental Chair, who was ever actuated by purer
motives than the present incumbent. If in the
press of business, which has overwhelmed him
some slight errors should have been committed,
the generous and the just will surely have the
msgnsnimity to excuse them. We ask our
friends to form no hasiy judgmenls-we knol
that every thing will be well in the end.

AZ The same eloquent writer and sound
philosopher, in speaking Of the sleerage passen-
gers on board vessel in which he sailed &c
Europe, says, that they exhibit many of the
true distinctions which we see in the world
these are the common people ; these are por
ton of that multitude of poor people whom we
see around US, and who are made poor and kept
poor, not by an invincible necessity of being SO
but greatly by the vices, follies, and frauds Of
those above them, who govern them, and partly
by their own follies and vices. Distinctions in
riches, in the comforts Of travelling, and al
other accommodations, there will be; but such
want, recklessness, and wretchedness on The
one side; such vanity, pride, sensuslity, an.
supertiuous expense on The other, show 'ha
there is something radically vicious and false
in our systems, public and private. We az,
still liping TOO much under the infuenc,
Of that privileged system Of other countrie,
iohfch, in gipiHg q bounty TO vices hd
destroy property and happiness, is HI
great social curse. l, is certain that the rict
are richer, comparatively, than they should be
and the poor poorer than they need be-
II the people have an interest in anything thr,
have in right principles of economy, and in un
derstanding them thoroughly. No mortal cal
conceive of the property there might be in thu
world, and Of the comforts that ALL or nearly all
could obtain, il property was not wasted an,
destroyed in the stupid ways in which it is, boil
by rich and poor. Voluntary poverty, in thi
free country ought to be despised hated, an,
abhorred. ...... 4.

TO JOHN TYLER

An excellent friend has called our attention
to the following article from the New Hamp-
shire Gazette, with request that we should
copy it into our widely circulated paper. We
comply with his wishes with great pleasure -
and call the attention of our numerous readers
to the importar Tects with which il abounds.
Ex-PREs,prsr TyLEa.---We have had little To a.,
Of Mr.. Tyler SINCE his retirement from the Pres;d,n
cy-perhaps not 10 much should have said =
But We arc not one of those who feel forbidden IA
praise act Of the late President from fear as
appear to be, Of being identified as his eulooist NJ
yer, while be was President did we hesitate to com.
mend every meriIorious he saw fl to pursue
He erred, il il true; and differed with him in ia
gard to measures of his administration na,,;c,
larry some which were adopted in its early DAYS; and
Of these we can as readily say that We never ests,e
to express our disapproval or condemnation Never.
thcless, il is true that John Tyler merits the lasting
gratitude of the democracy of the country for ms
irmness and decision with which he met and over.
threw of the most formid able and ne rnic;ous
measures of opponents which, were il not for hi,
manly exercise Of the power reposed in him. m;ob,
have drawn burdens upon this Aourishng republic.
that nothing short of a revolution, perhaps wouId
have been able to throw of, His administration has
been a useful one-and did the whole democr. attic

COMMISSIONER OF THE GENERAL
LAND OFFICE.

Having noticed the appointment of Judge
Shields in former paper, We copy the follow
ing from the New York Morning News, merely
for the purpose Of correcting its errors. Judge
Shields is from Illinois, not Alabama. He was
not at Baltimore, nor did he make any strong
fight for the ancient order of Democracy. b.
G. Shields, ESQ.,, Charge d'Afaires to Venezu-
ella, we presume, is the gentleman alluded to by
the News. Although the News have mistaken
the gentleman, their estimate of the character
and attainments Of the Commissioner of the
Land Office is critically correct:
Tho new Commissioner of the General Land or
6ce Judge Shields, of Alabama, has arrived at Wash
ngton enter upon the duties of his Office. This is
ono of MIR. Folks best appointments. As firm
faithful and Jealous Democrat, an able and honora
BILE man. and the only one of the Alabama delegation
who at Baltimore remained firmly true to Mr.. Var
Buren,, the selection of Judge Shields is one which
reflects upon its author still more honor than upon ii.
object.

COMMUNICATION.


MEssRs. EDIroRs In looking over the Intelligent
Ger of tho day before yesterday, discovered letter
written by Albert GaIlatn, upon the constitutional
power of removing person from Office, addressed
to Michael Nourse, whilst he was Secretary of the
Treasury. The venerable gentleman of the Intelli-
gencer is evidently in paroxysm for fear that some
of his Wing friends will follow in the footsteps of his
qaondam ally, William Jones, who promised, in 1886,
to keep the mail open for his especial benc6tt be-
ing doubtful at the time which way the election had
terminated but, if the editor is sincere in his pro-
fessions now, will he be good enough TO inform his
readers why he did mol publish Mr. Gallatin's admo.
milton, in l84l, for the especial benefit of Messrs
Granger, Bell, Ewing, and Badger when they were
slaughtering every Democrat upon whom they could
lay their hands' If he give a satisfactory an
swer to this question: then it will be time enough to
with Mr.. Gallatin and himself but this constitution
al scruple Of Mr.. Gallatn is evidently of tho same
character Of his objections TO The annexation of Ter
as. And, by way of balancing accounts, will the In
telgencer publish the proceedings Of meeting held
in Philadelphia, in 1885, Of which Mr. Gallatin was
Chairman, and which called forth from Mr.. CLAY tho
severe denunciatons of that gentleman, whom he
stigmased as alien, not possessing one .7meriear
eelng," and which called forth the venerable s. NIL
Ell SMITH, of Maryland, in his defence, whom Mr..
Clay nsulted by calling him an "oa dotnrd Nth one
foot in The grave and also the speech delivered BY
Mr.. Clay at Lexington, to inspire new zeal and conf
dence in his friends, in which he boldly declared ,hat
If elected, % ~onld ieare only on i,eo Democrats In

be published, perhaps the President of the Young

not, the President viii interpret the Constitution, in
this particular as he has already done upon the que.
tion of annexation, without taking either the advice

PROFESSOR ESPY.

We have received from this eminent e1poun'
der of the riddle Of storms, his first report upon
meteorology.
We shall, al an early day, publish some int
resting facts collected through the Professor:
interchangeable eYertions.
Fires that occur during the continuance o
high winds never produce rain but, on the
contrary, encourage drought. This will account
for the dryness Of the atmosphere during the
late CONGREGATIONS. While the lightning o.
Heaven is drawn TO earth by wire, the foan

NEWS FROM TEXAS.

Welearn that Gen. Houston has at last open
ly declared himself against annexation. We
have been long expecting this--consequently
we are not disappointed in the slightest possible
degree. We are happy in the belief, however,
that he does not possess sufficient influence to
thwart this great national measure.
Our readers may expect some startling de-
velopments with regard to British policy and
British intrigue, in short time. We cannot,
at present, tell all we know about the matter. II
is glorious consolation to know that we have a
President who is equal to any emergency that
may arise.

ST. GEORGES DAY.

According to the calendar this is the annver-
sary of st. George, the patron saint of Old
England. The occasion will afford the loyal
subjects of Queen Victoria who have cleft their
country for their countrys good" to glorify the
institutions and laws of the land which was for
merly termed by the Federal party "the bulwark
of our holy religion" The Anglo Saron and
Anglo Merican, as well as the whole fraternity
of Anti-American editors generally, will doubt
less be in extacies upon the blessed occasion.
Laudation, fussian, eulogy, panegyric, and en-
comium, will be exhausted in the praise of the
most heartless aristocracy that exists upon the
face Of the earth. The flowers of the English
language will be culed to decorate the brow OF
England's Queen, who squanders millions to
support hollow pomp, while the thousand
toilers of the land she governs are furnishing for
a morsel of bread.
Now all this may be perfectly right and
proper; it may be perfectly consistent with
