The barDburners having raternized with the aboli-
tionss and dsafected wings, and having adopted the
abolition platform at the Buffalo Convention, can no
longer with any sembancc of truth JUSTICE claim to
be the democratic party of the State. They re-
qued TO their former party organization before
the abolItoniss would take them into favor
Thus the coalition is complete. Van Buren, and Adams
their standard bearers Abohonism inscribed on their
banners
bered with these pretending democrats. They have
thrown off their mask, and we now know where TO find
them Many honest democrats, who msled by
them before the Buffalo Convention assembled,
pudiate their evil designs
Their ticket will carry all the abolitionists, and in
many counties large proportion of the wing voters
am inclined think that throughout the State the free
soil party las they have bapsed hemselves) will draw
more from the whig than from the democratic party
Should this be the case need not despair of New York
Casting her SO for the democratic candidates We
are going forward with perfect organization in this
county.

positories of the secret of the attempt on the
National Assembly, on the 18th ult., and one
of the principal actors in carrying it into exc.
cution. During the attack upon the Assem-
bly,, she was seen at a small public-house at
the corner of the Rue de Bourgogne, in COM
pany with M. Boccage, an actor at one of the
Paris theatres, distributing pistols, daggers,
and other weapons, to the persons forming the
procession, at the very moment when they
were approaching the hall of the Assembly
This fact was brought to the knowledge of the
Attorney General of the Republic, who, on in
quiry, found the facts to be so well authenti-
Gated, that he felt he could not pass the mat
ter over in silence, and he therefore gave the
fair conspirator hint, which has had the eff
feet of driving her into retirement. George
Sand or rather Madame Dudevant, is an init
mate friend of NJ. Ledru Rollin, and she is
suspected of having given NJ. Jules Favre con-
siderable assistance in framing the celebrated
bulletins of the Republic. On the day ofthe
election ofthe Executive Government, George
Sand was at the National Assembly, and
while the ballot for the members of the Exec
utive Government was going on, the National
Guards on duty were not little astonished to
see her sitting on the grass with M. Ledru
Rollin, in the little garden adjoining the Sal
lie DIES Pas Pendus, coolly smoking cigars.

MISCELLANY.

Coon AND BAD LUCK may as wei
here as any where, impart the secret OF good
and bad luck. There are men who, suppo
sing Providence 10 have an implacable spite
against them, bemoan in the poverty oil a
wretched old age. the misfortunes OF thelI
lives. Luck forever ran against them, and
for others. One, with a good profession,
lost his luck in the river. where he ldled away
his time in fishing, when he should have been
in his office. Another, with good trade,
perpetually burnt up his luck by his hot tenn
per, which provoked his employers to leave
him. Another. with a lucrative business,
lost his luck by amazing diligence al every
thing but his own business. Another, who
steadily followed his trade, as steadily follow
ed his bottle. Another, who was honest and
constant TO his wolk, erred by perpetual mis-
judgments {; he lacked discretion.
Hundreds lose their luck by endorsing; by
sanguine speculations by trusting iraudu-
lent men and by dishonest gains. man
never has good luck who has bad wife. /
never knew au early-rising, hard working,
prudent man, careful of his earnings, and
strictly honest, who complained Of bad luck.
A good character, good habits, and iron in
dustry, are impregnable 10 the assaults ofall
the ill-luck that fools ever dreamed of. But
when see tatierdemalion creeping out Of
Il grocery late in The afternoon, with his
hands stuck in his pockets. the rim of his hat
turned up. and the crown knocked in, know
he has had bad luck-for The worst ofall luck
is to be sIuggard, knave, or lippler.

DULL BOYS.

We are not to conclude that those who are
at first exceeding dull, will never make great
proficiency. The examples are numerous, Of
persons who were unpromising in childhood,
but who were distinguished in manhood for
their great requirements.
Adam Clark, d. D., was taught the alphabet
with great difficulty. He was very often chas-
tised for his dulness, and it was seriously
feared that he would never learn He was
eight years old before he could spell words of
three letters, and was distinguished for moth
ing but rolling large stones. At the age of
eight he was placed under new teacher who
by the kindness of his manner and by suitable
encouragement, aroused the slumbering ener-
gies of his mind and elected desire for i'm
proyement 1t is we'll known that he became
even more distinguished for his extensive and
various requirements than he had ever been
for rolling stones.
Isaac Barlow, L. D., for two or three years
after he commenced going to school, was only
noted for quarreling and rude sports. Thi,
seemed tc he his ruling passion. His father
considered his prospects for responsibility 81
dark, that he often said, if either were 10 die
he hoped it would be Isaac. But Isaac after
wards became the pride of his fathers family
| and an honor TO his country. He was appoint
ed Master Of Trinity College, at which time
the king said he had given the office to the
best scholar in England.

PROVERBIAL PHILOSOPHY.

There is Il man i'll England'S Upper

Mister Martin Farqullar Upper
Is his name:
And he's writ full many poem
For the poorer class, to show EN-
They themselves are most to blame
That advice is what we owe EN-,
And equality : shame!
1t is well for Mister Upper,
Thus to preach from Fortunes upper
Deck, that those within the scupper
Should MT pine for fish or fowl:
That to grunt is very silly,
And that lifc's a dappy-dilly,
And the poor man, will-he-nill-he,-
Must be silent as an owl
And if things 20 well or ill, he
Never must presume to growl.
That's good talk for Mister Topper,
Who is fast to Fortunes crupper,
While he drinks stirrup-cup, or
Two-it's famous talk for him
But, if he d but leave his dinner,
And become pauper sinner
Some poor weaver or some spinner,
Working, sick in heart and limb,
He'd see something of the inner
Life that now TO him is dim.
