The following story, told of Franklin's mode of treating the animal called in those days, sLounger,n is worth putting into prae- tee occasionally, even in lhls age and gene ration
 One tine morning, while Franklin was busy preparing his Newspaper for the Press. a "Lounger, ,"-steppcd into the store, add spent an hour or more in looking over the books, &c., and finally taking one in hand, asked the shop boy the price.
 ''One dollar," was the answer
 ''0ne dollarr' said the .Lounser,' cant you take less than that:n
 sNo, indeed,-on dollar is the price"
 Anotser hour had nearly passed, when the ''Lounger" asked,
 .Is Nv. Franklin at home ,'
 s,Yes,-he is in the Printing Office"
 .'I want to see him. said the aLounger.r
 The shoP-boy immediately informed Mr Franklin that gentleman was in the store waiting 10 see him. Franklin was soon be- hn d the counter, when the ..Lounger,r wllh book in hand. addressed him thus:
 "Mr. Franklin, what Is the lowest ou can take fer this book..i'
 ~One dollar and quarter" was the ready answer.
 s0ne dollar and quarier' Why, your young man asked only dolIar,
 ssTruc," said Franklin-saud could have better afforded 10 take dollar then, than to have been called out o( the OfIice.r
 The ''Lounger" seemed surpriscd,- wishing to end the barley of his own mak- ing, said, .4
 ,, 'sCome, Mr. Franklin, tell me what is the lowest you can take for it;'' .a -,EssOne dollar and half"
 .'A dollar and half,-why you offered [, yourself for dollar and quariern
 .Yes," said Franklm,--and 1 had better have taken that price then, than dollar and al half now.n
 The s-Lounger" paid down the price, and went about his business--if he had any---and Franklin returned into tine Printing office.

&z- One of the measures of pacifcating
Mexico just now, is said to be the passage by
Congress Of joint resolution, the President
willing, creating grand commissioners con-
sist of five persons, who shall repair imme-
diately to Gen. Scott's headquarters and ask
the Mexicans to appoint a, similar commits
sion to meet them, and consult upon the best
mode Of efeeting speedy peace. We have
heard the names Of Mr., Clay, Mr.. Benton,
and Mr. Calhoun, on the part of the politi-
cal parties Of the United States Of Richard
s. Coke, on the part Of the claimants upon
Mexico for spoliations; and Of John Hughes,
on the part Of the Catholic Church, which is
one Of the estates Of Government in Next
CO, as persons suited to compose such COM
mission. 1t is further said that the joint res
olution will designate these persons to com
pose the commission; and that the President
iavors the project, and will yield his consti-
tutional control over the personnel Of such q
commission for the .nonce-contenting him
self with approving the action of Congress.

SATURDAY AFTERNOON, deer A, Is47.
For President
GENERAL ZACHARY TAYLOR.
Subject 10 the decision OF the Wing National Convention
Massachusetts Quarterly Review.

RALPH WALDo Emerson, THEODORE
PARKER, and j. Eliot CABoT--all gentle
men Of Boston--have projected QUARTER
LY REVIEW upon basis which, we trust,
they will be able to occupy all its length and
breadth; but while such is our hope, our fears
are that the public mind Of this country is
yet too immature, too closely bound in the
swaddling-bands Of infancy to enable it to
appreciate the bold and lofty design Of the
editors. The American public is beast
that boasts Of enlightenment, but let any
Journal, or Monthly, or Quarterly, put forth
sentiments not in perfect unison with its pre-
viously conceived opinions upon any given
subject-opinions always conceived in igno-
rance-and at once it will cease to buy the
offensive publication. The readers Of peri
odicals will avow, if questioned, that they
love and tolerate free discussion, but the
bulk of them mean, the right to entertain
their own views without contradiction. 1t is
this terrible spirit Of intolerance that drives
every periodical publication in this country
into dependence upon particular sets Of OPT
Mons, and prevents the success Of indepen-
dent journalism.
We have not seen the first number Of this
work for the present month, but we learr
from the New York Tribune that it is al
admirable number Mean time, the editors
have our warmest wishes for their success.

To US Il (AIr. Clays SPECIFY appears to be plain,
straightforward speech, containing many excellent
sentiments and convincing arguments, and express
sons In decided terms the views which Mr.. Clay at
the present time entertains Of the Mexican war; and
the conduct Of the administration. He takes nearly
the same general ground on these subjects which
was occupied by Mr.. Webster In his Springfield
speech, and we trust that the bold and decided ex-
preston Of the feelings Of these distinguished states
men on these momentous subjects, with which the
destiny Of this nation Is so intimately connected,
will awaken Mr.. Polk to the true condition OF public
affairs, and to the state Of public opinion throughout
the country. he seems to have forgotten that the
government Is framed for the people, and acts as II
he believed the people were made for the govern
