A WHITE NEGRO.

Alderman Mccormick, Of this city,
brought TO this Office this morning, n little
white boy Of some six years of age, who is
the child of worthy parents living in the
township of Pcquannac, Morris county, in
this State The boys skin is much whittier
ltrougout than many children of the white
race. There is not, we believe, tinge ofthe
color of his parents, who are Of the pure AT
rican race, whole body. His hair is crisp
and curly like theirs, but perfectly white,
and his eyes are light blue, differing some
what in these particulars from other Abb
nos we have seen. His eyes, however, like
those of these anomalies generally, are evil
IDENTIFY very weak, and can scarcely bear
strong light. They usually see with much
more comfort in twilight.
The name Albno was frs applied, we be
leive by Portuguese to negroes OF this dis
cription. The color of their skin is ascribed
to a disease WHICH appears to depend upon
deficiency or morbid state Of the yete "u-
cosum over the whole body
The parents of this child, which resem
bes their race in other general aspects, are
worthy members of the Methodist Charch,
ana were only induced to part with him for
a few days under the strongest asstr nee
that he would be perfectly safe and well trea-
ted while under the guardship Of Alderman
M. He has refused an offer Of $1,000
from the American Museum, New York, for
permission to exhibit him, being scrupu-
ious on the subject, and apprehensive that
he might be finally acknowledgements ADJ

General Sam Houston, the hero Of San ia!
cinto, the Texas Senator, and the man IN the
blanket. has been spoken Of by a Virginia pa
per as the next Locofcco candidate for the Pres
idency. The Cincinnsti Union. in noticing
this fact, takes occasion TO sneer at Houston
We advise the editor of that paper 70 be care
ful in what direction be points his sneering
propensiies, for he may sneer at the wrong
man. 1t is much more probable that Sam will
be the next Locofoco candidate. than 1t was
two years ago. that James X. Polk would ever
be the candidate OF the party. You must talk
dplicately, Mr.. Union, when you refer to Sam
Houston, Tom Dorr, or Mike Walsh, for you
may be called on some Of these days, to prove
that one Of them is, or all of them are, thor:
