THE CLOTHIER's BOY.

AN ORIGINAL soro.
Respectfully dedicated tho Hon. MrlIAnp PiLLuopr,
O. w. DGrrsor.
ArR-"Thon Hail, dear Columbia"
Through tho Wild lofty woods Of his own mighty state,
Came youth seeking honest employ;
All weariod, he passed by lono water gate,
And hired as Clothier's Boy.
Strange but gud-young but great
Millard Fillmore, the Clothier's Boy.
In the days of his toll, in the nights Of his rest,
lie mused him of learning, with joy;
While love Of his trade found It's place Ia his bronst,
{" love Books" said the Clothier's Boy.
Read-read-'ts Gods bohost-
IN BIO wiso"-suid tho Clothiot's boy.
Kind hands gave him freely tho books that no sought
In the place Of the vain, youthful toy;
And OF by the bench and the loom, as no wrought,
Studied closely the Clohier's Boy.
"Leurning's fro have caught"
Cried Fillmore, the Clohier's Boy.
From his shop in tho woods, to tho places Of power,
With pride that no vice could alloy,
Came forth in his country's needed hour,
A ruler--tho Clo,hiot's Boy.
Stands brave, strong tower,
A Vice President Clothier's Boy.

Ford's majority,

ONO ELECTION. Without the members from
this county, the Wings will have a majority in
the House; and we do not see how any members
can be received from this county unless the city
members are The Senate is tie. The votes
for Governor are to be counted before the SEN
ate. If that body is not organized, how can the
votes be counted? The Governor in office is to
continue to discharge its duties until his success
sor is elected and qualified. The Locofocos de-
clare that the members from the LIST District shall
not take their seats without resistance even to
boodshed! The lovers of order have before
them trying time. They must stand firm, shoul-
der to shoulder Cincinnati Gazette.
The inspectors of the election have returned
the two Wing candidates for Cincinnati, who
were elected, but the County Clerk (loco) refus-
es to certify, on the ground that the law appor-
tioning the State for representatives is not con-
stitutional. He therefore puts together the votes
of Cincinnati city and county, being the election
district under the old law, and certfes the locos
to be elected.

AN OLD Book. The Antiquarian Of YER
mont calls our attention to an old book Of Acts
of the Assembly OF New York, from 1861 to
l725, now in the possession of David Hoyt, of
Rochester, N. Y. This book gives the bounda-
ry of the county of Albany as embracing
"The manor of Ranslaerwick, Schenectady,
and all the Villages, Neghborhoods and Chris
tan Plantations on the east side of Hudson's RE
YER, from Roeloffe Jansen's creek and on the
West side from Sawyer's creek to the outmost
end of Sarraghtoaga."
Part of Vermont was included in the neigh
borhoods and Christian plantations"

THE FORGED NoTEs. The notes forged by
George Miller amount in all to about $4,000,
and among all the notes that Miller negotia-
ted, bearing the name of S. f. Beknap, we're
five, amounting to $4,000. We understand that
Mr.. Belknap has offered to divide the sum Of
$4,000 among all the holders Of the notes, pro-
vided they will withdraw the suits they had
commenced against him before the trial of Mil
Ter, and give him an obligation that they will not
require the payment Of the five true notes, should
they ever come to light. Most Of the creditors
have acceded to the proposition, and probably all
will come into the anangement-BostonI Mai,

1.-THE locoioco candidate for Vice Presdent,) was
eight years ago a witness Of General Taylor's
principles; for in speech on the Florida War,
delivered in the House of Representatives ofthe
U. S. June llth 1910, the present locotoco can
didate for the Vice Presidency used the follow
ing language:
"General Taylor succeeded General Jessup
in command, and as heard no complaint against
him, presume there is none. Fortunately for
himself, sir, he is a Whig; and fortunately for
the country, he Is a soldier Of The highest order"

SLAVERY IN LouIsIANA.-JoBN r. DUFRoco,
Esq the Editor OF the Boion Rogue Gazette, the

"Were this trafiicking stopped, it would e.
ventually be to the advantage Of the owner, the

We believe the old man has never

He has said that he never voted-that he
knows little ofthe affairs of government
that he has never looked into measures
50 far as to satisfy himself about the long
discussed questions of the National Bank,

says as plainly as he can, that his life has
