The Democratic Presses and Gen. Jackson
The Richmond Wing jeers the Democratic
presses, which were so eager to publish almos,
every word uttered, and every line written, by
their lamen,ed chief, Gen. JACKSON, in The clos.
ing hours of his life, for the silence they observe
In regard to his letters written 10 Maj. LEWIS.
Their silence is certainly little remarkable
1t would seem, after all their parade and profess
cd devotion, that their appreciation of the "lasi
oords'' of the old Hero. is pretty much like that
OF certain lady we have heard Of for those OF
her dying husband.-Whie STIMULATING the very
liberal provisions he intended for her future sup
port, the continual exclamation was, sHow sen.
si66 he is - But when he came to name as the
condition of his bounty, that she should not mar
ry again, ii was, "Ah, no,u he raues!' So it ap-
pears to be with the Democratic presses, in re-
gard TO Gen. JAcKsoN's letters TO Mai. LEWIS
In them, she raves 20

Cj~Ex-President TYLER arrived here, in an
extra Stage, on Tuesday evening, on his way
to the Springs. We should not notice the fact,
but Tor the attempt of a few of his indiscreet
friends to get up something like public de-
monstraion on the occasion. 1t was msera-
BILE failure, however.-Even our old cannon,
which was fred when the Stage hover in view
did not ring out In its accustomed tone, Hnd
the whole reception, from the account we have
had OF II, was complete burlesque upon such
honors The gathering was meagre and spi-
rliless, and consisted mostly of boys and mere
idle spectators. We feel it to be due to the
clear and decided, and overwhelming sentiment
OF our community, to say this much-a senti-
ment, too, that we believe is not confined to
party,-in order that there may be no misun-
derstanding abroad on the subject.

III Virginia, the Boston Transcript brings to view
an 'ce house or sno,c hole near Troy, n. Y. in the
disputed rent district, situated near ihe summit
of the WilllamStown mountain. writer in the
Christian Watchman states that it is said of this
natural curiosity, That the ice and snow has never
melted to the certainA;nowledge of some of the
inhabitants for more than half century; but a
few days ago, Mr. Van Rensselaer, himself, the
celebrated PATRON of this wide domain, together
with Judge Waite, and two or three other gentle
men, paid 1t visit, and the PATRON pleasantly
remarked that he could return to Albany, and tell
his friends that he had sunk in snow up to mis-
knees in the month Of July. Such retreat
would be indeed desirable when the quicksilver
is at 100 egrees.-Ne,oark DaiLy .4dvertiser.

A HORRIBLE EEASI,.

A Paris paper says that French gentleman
named Iherry, was anxious to establish an inde-
pendent kingdom in New Zealand, and being dis
appointed in the concurrence of the European
powers, he depended upon the support of some ma
tive tribes. In order to unite the Zeaanders to
his fortunes, Thierry had promised them many
great things. These people for some time believ-
ed his promises; but at length wearied at no,
seeing them realized, the natives decided 10 gel
rid OF their ruler. This act was accomplished
with horrible solemnily. The great and subor-
dinate chiefs assembled in council splendid
feast was prepared, at which, when all were seat.
ed at the same table, there was served up as a
dish of honor the body of Thierry, cooked and
seasoned with all the condiments in use among the
people Of those colonies. This deplorab!e TRACE
dy is confirmed by many letters, and by the YER
bal relation of difieren: travellers, who have
learned the event from the mouths even of those
who had assisted at this cannibal spectacle.

IRISH MACHINE POETRY.

Jem Dodge married ould Judy Rouse
Och, she was a charming young BRIDE
With turf he then built brick house;
And the front door was on the back side
The roof il was tiled with oat.straw,
The cellar was on the first floor,
And the chimney in order to draw
Was built jus; outside of the door.
A begear was Teddy Meone,
His sister was mis- only brother;
He had nothing at all of his own,
Except what belonged to his mother.
One night Teddy says to the Squire.
I'm so cold give me somethin' to eat.
I'm so dhry let me sit by the fire,
And so hungry must warm my feet
"oh honey" one day says Patt Tigg,
For he was scandalous glutton,
Tomorrow I'll kill my fat pig,
For I'm sure he'll make Elegant mutton"
60 then he goes into the hovel,
And he hangs the pig up by the heel,
Cut his throat all SO nate with the shovel,
Saying. this is the way to dress veal
One day Paddy Mulligan swore
He had scat all his mouth 10 blister,
While at dinner the morning before
"And wat was it wild" asked the sister,
Says Paddy "iust thry for TO guess"--
"Och, I can't"-"then I'll tell ye, my
swate, o,
Twas nothin' at all more or less,
Than raw.roastcd frozen po,atoe."
