or Curious mistakes people make some
times! Mr.. ii. Connolly, Wing, wanted
togo TO Europe. lie thought a military
handle to his plain republican name would
look well there on card. So he request
ed Gov. Suok TO bestow upon him the
empty title of an Aid-de.Camp. Gov S.
magnanimously obliged him. Then to give
him the enlree TO certain places abroad,
he requested Secretary Buchanan 10 per
nj him to call h,mseff bearer of des.
patches Secretary b. though opposed to
Nj. G. obligingly granted permission. o,
course, the whole matter was nominal, and
intended, as usual, for effect in Europe
Mr.. Connolly being withal, very amia BILE
citizens. Yet the Daily Nors look with
big eyes, as the Germans say, al the emp
ty formality, aud confidently tells its read
ers that the Democracy are vexed at this
kindness manifested by our State aud
General ADMINISTRATIONS towards a Wing!
All! we Democrats scorn TO resort 10 the
petty prescriptions of Federalism. We
treat an opponent like gentleman. 1t
is the best mode of disgusting him with the
arrogance and selishness Of his own par.

GEN. HousToS FOR PREsrpENT.-The Democrats
of San Augustine, Texas have nominated General
Houston for the next Presidency, whercupon the
Baltimore Patriot considers his elevation as the last
evil that could be brought the country except the
reelection of Mr. Polk We are not so sure of that,
neighbor. We think there are great many evils
worse than General Houstons election to the Presi-
dency. To enumerate few Of them--they are the
election TO that Office Of Mr.. Buchanan, or Mr.. Dali
las, or Mr.. Cass, or Mr. John P. Hale or Mr.. Wood
bury or Col. Johnson, General Pillow, or General
Shields or any Of the host of Democratic aspirants
Gen Houston has something about him TO rcpose
confidence in--the others, nothing. If the wings are
to throw away their only chance to elect President
in the person of the Hero Taylor why give us Hous
ton in preierenceto any Of his rivals bad as he Is,

THE WAY OF THE WoRLD.--One Of the haf-starved
literary youths Of Paris found poor beggar girl in
the street snowy night Of last winter, and, as
she was almost senseless with cold and hunger, he
took her to his garrett and with respectful devotion
gave her food and shelter. His young pensioner
seemed modest and was not III looking, and he soon
worked up his feelings to romance, and determind
TO treble his industry, TO give her proper lodging
and cothe her so that she would be presentabe at
places Of amusement BY excessive labor and
economy, he at last achieved the purchase Of pro-
per wardrobe for Madomoiselle, and finally MS she
seemed to have a passion for a silk mantla, he
pawned his watch and satisfied her in this. With
six remaining francs of his worldly wealth. he pro-
posed TO take her for the first time TO restaurant TO
dine. cat last" said he turning her round, "see

A DOUBLE EDGED SwoRp.--The following reso-
luton, says the Baltimore American, adopted at a
late meeting at Georgetown, the proceedings Of
which published in the Charleston papers, afirms
position quite familiar at the South, yet one which
covers more ground than its advocates design to as
sumo s@als# ,,.
Resolred, That the government of the United
States cannot of right interfere with the social or
domestic institutions of any State or Territory OF
this Confederacy.
Now upon the supposition that we acquire from
Mexico new territory in which slavery is forbidden
by the domestic institutions" of said territory the
principle embodied in the resolution would entirely
debar the general government from any action that
might recognize the introduction of slavery into the
newly acquired region If it be sound doctrine that
the general government cannot interfere to remove
slavery from any State Territory in which i exists
by the sanction Of local laws, it must be equally
sound to maintain that 1t cannot interfere to esta-
blish slavery in any State or Territory where it is
forbidden by the local laws.

YANKEE Doodle IN THE THEATRE AT Mexico
Oct g. Last night we had and exciting scence
at the theatre. Between the pieces the orchestra,
which is really very fine one gave us two or three
beautiful airs, and concluded with Mexico national
air. soon they finished, the audience, being
mostly American, called for Yankee Doodle; but
the orchestra paid no attention They stamped and
raped as If they would bring the house down over
our heads, but still the orchestra needed not. At
length the bell rang and up went the curtain. The
audience seemed for instant as if they were viii.
ling to give it up; but at this moment tall slab

being real, Thoroughbred patriotic volunteer Of the

said =" often heard that Yankee Doodle was the

Creasers kept us SO husv Will fs'--'-,'

the audience and they recommended their calls for

ment passed Off in excellent order. Mexico gentle
man, sitting in front of me- remarked to his friend
that it was the best Illustration of the American
character he had ever witnessed-that when they
once determind upon anything, neither the firmness
man, nor the solicitation of woman, could induce
them to cease in their exertions until they had ac
complished their object, and that in ten minutes
after or before any efforts, you would think from
their appearance that they were as docile as lambs
and as harmless as infants.-Frdener.

THE SANTA ANA HTRIGUE.-Santa Ana
denies most bitterly that he made any pledge
to Mr.. Polk to betny his country, but he
will not deny that he pledged himself to bring
about peace with the United States the
moment he found himself in power. Meth
err Mr.. Polk nor Mr. Buchanan has been
frank about this intrigue. Mr.. Buchanan
will not deny that it was hatchedin his brain,
and that when THE Commissioners Of Tamau-

Mexico that the Northern States could de-

with Santa Ana, who vas to be the author
Of peace between the Two countries. Mr..
Buchanan will not deny either that he adj
mitted to them, that THIS plan was far bet

tory close, than Santa Ana's agency in this
matter, but that the ded was done, and the
government must abide he issue. We hope
that the Wing House yin force Mr.. Polk

The wonder is that Mr.. Buchanan can sleep

thinking of it almost every s.,.
Another story was presently after, full in my
"a beautiful Catholic legend which was told me by
a German friend in America, when little dreamed Of
ever travelling over this spot Our road now gradu-
ally assembled the high ridge from which we were
soon to overlook the plain of Jericho The track
so stony and difficult as to make progress very
slow; and the white rocks under the midday sun gave
out such heat and glare made me enter more
thoroughly into the story Of Peter and the cherries
than my readers can perhaps do. And yet the many
to whom have told the legend in conversation have
felt its beauty. Ii is this:
''Jesus and two or three Of his disciples went
down, one summer day, from Jerusalem TO Jericho.
Peter-the ardent and eager peter-was, as usual,
by the Teachers side. On the road to Olivet lay
horseshoe, which the Teacher desired Peter TO pick
up; but which Peter let lie as he did not think II
worth the trouble of STOPPING for The Teacher
stopped for it. and exchanged 1t in the village for
measure Of cherries. These cherries he carried las
eastern men now carry such thngs) in the bosom
folds of his dress.
When they had to ascend the RIDGE and the road lay
between heated rocks, and over rugged stones, and
among glaring white dust, Peter became tormented
with heat and thirst, and fell behind. Then the
Teacher dropped ripe cherry AT every few steps
and Peter eagerly stopped for them. When they
were all done, Jesus turned to him, and said with
smile, He who Is above STOPPING to small thing
will have TO bend his back to many lesser things"
