incapable to fill the office Of President and
you quote from father Richie to prove it. Wen,
say II, THIS same father Richie, said the same
OF Gen. Jackson, and afterwards changed his
tune; if he liedin one case will he not do it
in another? You say Gen. Cass is 'Northeru
man with Southern fee ings;n you said the
Of Van Buren,, not twelve months since,
and now you say he is northern faciionist
and a sounded. II you were mistaken in
one case, what right have you to expect us to
believe you in the other? You said Gen.
was not much Of a General, could
hardly write good English, aud was a very or
binary man, and you quote the Union and
Others to prove it. Well, these same papers
twelve or eighteen months since, without any
oljectsve the desire to tell the truth, said he
was one Of the greatest Ginerals of the age,
and that his official reports, showed him to be
an accomplished scholar and writer. Now
when did they tell the truth, whenthey spoke
agjn him with the hopes Of reward, or when
they spoke in bis favor when they had no
hopes Of reward? You said Cass was safer
on the Wilmot %proyiso, and you quote his
Nichols n letter to prove it. Whilst Governor
Brown, Senator Davis and Mr.. Calhoun, says
his position is all gammon and humbug You
say tie Proviso question is the all important
question for the South, and you quote Iother
Rnchic and the Mississippian to prove it-a
few short months ago when it was thought this
question would endanger the success Of the
democratic party, each of these fellers said it
was a bughear and n piece Of tomloolcry.
In this way 7 went on spoolin it off to 'em,
until saw tney were both most nwfuloneasy.
Ncjghbor C---'s face looked as ragged and
stfeak ed as a hank Of carpet rags, whilst the
office holder rutipled his face all up in n hear,
and looked as uncomfortable as a wet crow on
a Ioggy mornin. 81 am afraid you have been
humbugod b. wh G lies, Mr.. Jonslng," says
the office holder,
Wing lies think you say, says !, and gin
a look round the room for my stick, and he
began to tecI for his hat and make for the door
like skcered dog. SO | felt my steam was
gcttin up ton high and Jest poked the fire a
spell. Do you see them ants on thc.ecnd Of
that log, saws how busy they are, and how
theY caper about, and do you hear that cricket
chirpin away on the hearth so happy? 'Yes,'
siys they; we'll, says /, the idea just entered
nv head that them ants are like office holders,
and the fire like Gen. Taylor's principles, and
tie I'D c1icket is like a plain farmer; and
wlilet Gen. Taylor's principles, like the fire,
olly warns and h%appilies the old farmer crick-
tt.f it makes them office holdin ants scnmper
about most pleaguily, to see il they can't get
that ire put out. Now which 40 you suppose
would tell a lie first, the old cricket, or the
Office holdin ant? At that | gin the office
holder a look, and thought he could have crePt
threw a key hole, and he did not open his
mouth on p]oli1cs agin that night. But neigh
Dor c. said there was one other question: he
would like to ak me concerning. How could
| trust Gen. Taylor, without his first gtvin a
pledge on the Wilmot proviso question! Well,
srys /, his hull life, education, interest, and
hnbls are pledges enuif, and by way OF Illus
tretion | relied him the following tale about
my courtin days:
NV when twas a lad, my father was a plane
republican sort Of a farmer, and he raised NJ
his children IN the same way. His nrighbol
!, Thompson, was lust such another farmer, and
f had an only darter, Kate, who he raised anc
educated jest in the same way as my father die
+ me. always felt-a kind of tender feelin iol
Kate, but it want very serious. But ar'er
lad grown TO be a man, and to tkink about mar
ryin, there came to the neighborhood a spruce
/ and sprightly lookin yankee gall, named Many

Z could ont talk a-mockin bid. She was soor
the particular friend of every body, agreed witt

/ was on the popular side, and hothin was abns
ed but what she was heard cryin the loudes
agin it; in fact she was anything to every body
: Soon she and Kate were the rival bellies o
