The magnificent steamer Crescent City, to the
merits of which you have done such ample Justice,
in your peculiarly glowing and graphic STYLE reach
ed here yesterday at about half past eight O'Clock,
amidst the admiring gaze of thousands, who flock
ed to the evee to witness her rapid and graceful
performance. She is, indeed all you describe her;
and must prove source of as much profit and plea
sure to her benificent and enterprising sockhold-
ers, as she will of prlde and convenience to this
hitherto comparatively isolated, prosperous, and
continually growing portion of the great, con- con;

hence and our tributaries, who, under the old
regime, ofprotracted and dangerous travel, would
be content TO stay at home; to say nothing OF the

among us In five or six or days after they reach
your market which otherwise would fade and de-
compose amid the stated appetltes of your doubly
rewarded northers. Methlnks | am already set
ting down to dish of lobster, taken from on
board the Crescent City, as fresh, and in as good
keeping as that meted out at the Aston, or any
other of your numerous resorts for the pleasure and
preservation OF the inner man. expect 10 receive

between Mr.. Clay and General Taylor; and if there

in favor of the former. The party in favor of the
latter have been christened the 'striped pig whies

| is emphaticaly democratic, and cannot be other
| wise, from the nature of its mixed and unhomoge-
neous population. 1t is democratic, understand me,
numerically, physically, and, no doubt, ntrlnscal-
ly, morally; but intellectually, or, rather, learnedy,
agreeably TO the dictates of the schools, it is the
deficient side of the question, and will remain so

attendant mortality ''boom as the rose" Whether
Cass or TAYLOR be President. il is be hoped that
radical reform will be effected throughout the

here; for it is greatly desecrated to ends at
with the public interest than in any other large
commercial mart in this Union; simply for the rea-
son that Its population, with few exceptions, care
not for anything but desire to retire from hence

Ashland, for the next four years at least, are to

that that connection Is never to be severed by the
