MAKING MERRY WITH MISFORTUNE

MAKING MERRY WITH MISFORTUNE
The New Orleans Bulletin, Taylor paper,
thus good naturedly acknowledges the de-
sertion from the ranks Of whiggery and from
the support of its nominee:
"The present position of the Taylor par
ty reminds u.s. of story we once heard of a
farmer, who one morning let his sheep out
Of the pen. Having put down the bars the
old man stood by to eeunt them as they hop
ped over, and began-'There goes ONE.
there goes two'-;there goes .three'-sthere
goes old Ewe'- there goes black one'-
'there goes whole heap'-eand, curse them,
there they all 60"
$50 il is with the Taylor party. At first
we could count the deserters-one, two,
three: but it was soon asceraned that the
bounds we're broken, that the bars were
down, and the 'old ewes and the black ones'
began hopping out very fast, and followed so
rapidly by whole heaps as to bid defiance
to any attempts TO keep count, and soon poor
Taylor will have 10 cxclaim, Curse them,
there they all go!"

Benton, in reply 10 Mr.. Calhoun's threat
about dissolving the Union, in case the Ore.

Mr.. Jefferson in which he denounced the
project Of Burr as dangerous 10 the Uuon;"
for, at the time, there was not neghbor-
hood in the West in which Burr would dis
close his project. If he had done so, the
women and children would have lied him

tally encountered, at night, by one who, be-
fore afordng him relief, demanded his
name. Who ale you: AS soon as he gave
his name he was taken into custody, and by
a string led into the Georgia settlements
Burr, having heard Of the sympathy often
excited in behalf of grea; men struggling

100000 LOOSE SCREWS Horace Greedy,
of the New York Tribune, estimates that
half million Of whig voters have resolved
not to support Taylor for President. Ol
these, he puts down 20 thousand as alien
ated in the State Of New York. Some fif-
teen thousand may be classcd under the
same head in Massachusetts. About ten
thousand in New Jersey, and thousands up.
on thousands in Vermont, Pennsylvania,
Ohio, Indiana, and other States. This is as
might have been foreseen by every body -

LAMARrrNE AND PoLIrlcs.--In a letter
written in 1886, Lamartne thus beautifully
and relgionsly explains his motives for en-
tering political life:
"When the Divine Judge shall summon
us to appear before our conscience at The
end Of our brief journey here belew, our
modesty, our weakness will not bo an ex-
cuse for our inaction. 1t will be Of no avail
to reply, we were nothing, we could do no.
thing, we were but as grain of sand. He
will say to US, placed before you in your
day, the two scales of a beam, by VIII c'l the
destiny of the human race was weighed; in
one was good and in the other evil. You
were but grain of sand, no doubt; but who
told you that that grain of sand would not
have caused the balance TO incline on my
side? You have intelligence TO see, con.
science to decide. and you should have pla-
ced this grain of sand in one or the other;
il has not been of any use TO you or your
brethren"

lice to the pioneer settlers, but public opn-
ion is not yet sufficiently powerful to drown
the clamors Of speculator.

While upon this subject, we may as
well call the attention Of our citizens TO the
law passed last winter, authorizing the trus-
tees Of the several townships to levy an ad-
di,ional tax, not to exceed Two cents pei
acre, for road purposes. If at the town
ship meetings next spring this tax was uni
formly imposed in each township in the
county, the unimproved acres of the land
specuator might then be compelled 10 bear
equally the burden of taxation for road i'm
provement with the cultivated acres Of the
resident inhabitant And. as in such case
The County Commissioners would not find il
nee, ssary to levy as high road tax upon
the county, the law would result in easing
the burden Of taxation now imposed upor

THE VAN BUREN LIBERTY PARTY.-The
following is, in brief, the platform Of the new
third party. Most of these measures re-
quire no third party to secure their success
but they are forced into service TO secure
success TO Martin Van Buren, in his designs
against the Democratic nominees:
No interference, by Congfess, with slavery
within the States.
No establishment, support or encourage
ment Of slavery by the national govern
ment.
No extension of slavery.
No more slave states, and no compton,.
| ise Of freedom.
River and harbor Improvements.
Donation Of tho public lands in limited
quantities TO actual settlers.
A tariff sufficient speedily TO cxtnguish
the national debt.
| Cheap postage.
Abolition of useless offices, and retrench-
Ement in rational and state expenditures.
Election Of civl officers, as far as practi-
cable, by the people, so as TO cunail the
power and patronage Of the President.

The English papers express fears that this
Island will be ced,d by the British govern

as reasons why il should be retained, that
it commands all the harbors Of The western

soil, magnificent forests, and immense tracts
Of good coal.
