appeal to the Democratic side Of the Senate,

Allen, taking the alusion to himself, turned
round, and in an attitude of Roman firnness,
indicated that he was not to be moved by any
such appeals,

VANS. This article belongs to the Potato
family, and is exclusively used in the West India
Islands. We regret to learn that the rot has
broken out and assumed putrid-virulent

f ared that it may injure the food of the West
India Islands, as it has done that of Ireland, and
thus the sufferings of the Colonists there may

EMPLOYMENT. The following just sentiment
was uttered by Daniel Webster in late speech
in the Senate of the United States. 1t should
be had in everlasting remembrance:
"Sir, l say it is employment that makes the
people happy. Sir, this great truth ought never
to be forgotten; it ought to be placed upon the
title-page of every book on political economy
intended for America, and such countries as
America. 1t ought to be placed in every far
mer's almanack. 1t ought to head the columns
of every farmers magazine and mechanics ma
gazine. 1t should be proclaimed every where,
Notwithstanding what we hear Of the useful
ness-and l admit the high usefulness-of
cheap food Notwithstanding that, the great
truth should be proclaimed every where, should
be made into proverb, if it coud-that ,Uhere
there is ioork for the hands and The men there ,cil
be toork for their teeth. Where there is employ
ment, there will be bread. And in country
like our own, above all others, will this truth
hold good-a country like ours, where, with a
great deal of spirit and activity among the
masses, if they can find employment, there is
always great willingness for labor. If they can
obtain fair compensation for their labor, they
will have good houses-gocd clothing-good
food, and the means of educating their families;
and if they have good houses, and good cloth
ing, and good food, and means of educating
their children, from their labor, that labor will
be cheerful, and they will be contented and
happy people"

BRUTAL FLoGGMG IN GREAT BR1TAN.-
The following, which we extract from Lon
don paper received by the Hiborna, shows the
manner in which ,Uhiie man is treated in a
country which processes so much sympathy for
the poor negroes of America. There never
was slave in the South SO cruelty beaten.
"The greatest excitement prevails at Houn-
slow barracks among the soldiers stationed
there, on account of the death of Frederick
White, who recently received $50 lashes for as
saulting non-commissioned officer. He went
into the hospital, where he remained fourteen
days, when he died from the effects of the ex-
cessivc flogging he had received. Ten prvates,
it is stated, tainted away and fell to the ground,
while Whites punishment was inflicted. A
Coroner's inquest was to be held, and it was
supposed that whatever might be the result of
the inquiry, the use of the lash would be en-
tirely abolished

the following from the U. S. Gazette, it will be
seen that the new warehouse bill has been put
into practical operation in that city:

provide storehouses for foreign goods, at low
rent is now in operation, and the cargo of the
ship Susquehanna, from Liverpool, is, in great
degree, being stored in accordance with its pro-
visions 1t will rest snugly in the store-housc
until December next, when it will come forth
under the new and deprecated duty. 1t is in
this manner that the Government will derive
its increased revenue for some time to come.

A New YORK Foe AND BALTIMORE GIRL.
We extract the following from letter from
Saratoga, published in the Boston Transcript:
A good joke occurred in the ball room ofthe
United States a few evenings since. The
company had re-assembled for one of the Gus
tomary hops, and the more youthful portion
were twirlng by couples in the dizzy waltz
1t had been noticed for several evenings that a
would-be exquisite from New York-par emf
nence, foolish top, had been annoying pretty
Baltimore girl with his attentions. She had
borne them as long as she could, aided in re-
sisting them by her judicious chaperon.
Finally, these same pertinacious attentions
became ntolerable, and the gfpPs spirit was
aroused to mortify the selfconceited BEAU
On the evening referred to- he approached the
lady, with the remark, 81 really think, Miss
-, this is to be the hop of the season, shall |
have the pleasure to hop off with you?" He
alluded to her joining with him in the hop
up the tune; but she promptly replied, "Sir, |
should be really glad if you would make ,cay
,Uith yourseGn' This, if not the retort courte-
Gus, certainly proved to be the repulse efectual,
for the next day he was not seen at Saratoga
In one sense, it appears wrong to laugh at the
follies of poor human nature-at things which
perhaps we should lament-but after all there is
nothing so laughable to me as to see brainless
man assume to be fop or awitling. We meet
many such at Saratoga, and if there are those
who laugh at them, it is done, doubt not, on
the principle that sit is good to laugh away a
portion ofour days, and to give nlrth her song
and sport her feather"
