strange but True.

Why is it that Hen & Hickman sell goods so
much lower than any other house in town! | was
in FOyotte few days ago. and when looking
through town--nt the different stocks-l found
they were selling goods 80 per cent. cheaper than
could buy the same articles elsewhere.
tell you, boy, this is the place for us to buy
for if can buy as much there for 80, as can buy
for SIG at other stores, ought not to do so!
guess you all will do so. BILL -

GENERAL TAILOR AND THE PREsTDENcY.-The
meeting called to nominate Gen. Taylor for the Pre-
sidency proved complete failure, not more than forty
or fifty persons having attended it. The Hon. George
Folsom, a Native American, Democratic Republican,
Wing; or something equivalent, was the presiding
genius of the assemblage, and he performed the
duties with all the grace and of an old veteran
such service. We have sufficiently testified our re-
spec and esteem for Gen. Taylor in his capacity of
military clief'ain, and we would have 1t understood
that no remark that could injure him or wound the
feelings of his real friends will be recorded by
our pen When the news of the silly movement Of
the night before last shall have reached him. we are
sure that he will express his entire Misrepresentation of
il. The "Natves" have lost Scott through the UNI
lucky nterpositon of "hasty plate of SOUP" lsdge
Mclean will not be their candidate, and now they
are endeavoring to run Gen. Taylor. The trick is
palpable.-N. Y. NelcS.
