point out several errors from own slight
knowledge of the population Of several
counties. Nfnsca!ine, for instance, is set
down at 800 less than johnson; whereas
we presume that the former outnumbers
the latter, which is rather below than
above the true mark, by about 1000. The
assessors are required to take the census
without compensation; consequently, we
need not lock for general accuracy in their
returns. This census was taken nearly
e year ago, and probably ra'ls short of our
population at that time hy.at least 10000.

Correction. stated last week that
:he notorious Clay Mud had been elected
assistant clerk OF the U. S House of Rep.
resentatives. That official is not elected
but appointed by the Chief Clerk. This
blunder was committed in consequence of
the haste in which we wrote, with other
matters pressing upon our attention at the
same time.
The effect is the same as we stated,
however. The Chief Clerk of the House
is obedient TO the will Of the wing party
at Washington, and it is in obedience to
that will that he appointed the notorious
political scavenger, Clay Mud, to that post,
as reward for his muddy work in Iowa.
No doubt his attainment Of that post was
materially aided by a certificate from
Fitz.boodle, Fayrw Gather and company
of this State, setting forth his important
services to the wing party.

The following additional item relative
to National Wing Convention, which we
clip from the Cleveland Plain Dealer, may
be regarded as settling the question:
WASHINGTON, Jan. %.
The caucus was well attended; about
100 members were present. Mr.. Man
gum presided
The question to be considered was,
Shall the Wing party 60 into National
Convention?
Some of the Taylor men urged the
pos,p onement of the question, and Gentry
of Tennessee, spoke for an hour aud half
against any decision now in favor Of a
Convention. He urged the claims of Gen.
Taylor with great force upon the meeting,
and advocated to run him independent of
a Convention, and by the simple and pri-
mary organization Ct the people. The
wings, however, were for Convention,
and nothing short of Convention. and
would in no event unite upon Gen. Tay-
lor, unless he comes out as Wing.
The result of the caucus was vote Of
10 to in favor OF Convention.

Will wonders never cease? We are in
clined to exc!ai,n, while reading the fol-
lowing singular story. OF the truth of the
account, we take it for granted, there can
be no doubt, as it is extracted from the
Eastern State Pa. Journal, where pub
lished does not appear; but that makes no
odds. Here's the story:
awe noticed the fac: at the time, that
while Raymond & Warnings menaeere
was at this place, six wesxs since, on ex.
hibition, a Bengal tigress belonging to it,
gave birth TO cub, the male parent of
which was lion. While in New York,
the other day, we were informed by gen.
,leman connected with the ,nenagerie, that
the little cross-breed is alive and growing
finely, woman in the city who had lost
her child having taken it to raise at her
breast. We are told that Romulus and
Remus, the founders of Roman, were
sucked in infancy by wolf; but we new
er heard before of woman adopting fe.
rocious animal, and sucking it as her own
child. The step mother to the half lion
and half tiger keeps her charge in a bu
reau drawer, and in the morning when
her husband gets out of bed, he takes the
little sharp-clawed fellow out, and places
it in the bed with his wife TO suckle.-
When hungry, the little fellow makes
terrible racket, and seems half crazy to
get at the breast IRON whence it draws its
sustenance. Though it shows every sign
Of attachment and fondness for its foster
dam, we should advise her to wean it as
soon as possible. The curious cross breed
is male, its head and foreparts being the
complete lion, the name already begins to
show itself, whileits body is striped and
bears full resemblance to the tiger"

Wing papers are promp' to Willy Gen
eral WoRrH, now that he is known to be
a Democrat. Once they sounded his
praises to the highest pitch, spoke Of his
eminent abilities, and could not discover
no terms too strong TO express their admi.
ration. But, as he is in conflict with
Scorr, he must be sacrificed, right or
wrong, to appease their wrath. We say
nothing of the malignity of such abuse,

The Wigs Of Congress.-The Wash
inston correspondent Of the New York
Commercial writes as follows:
1asked the question, last night ola Sena.
tor, whether the ten regiment bill would
pass he Senate? He said it would. Will
it pass the House? NO" said he. The
opposition in the Senate has not been AVA
keued ard organized till within few
days. 1t is to be formidable ana united.
The opposition now, and not till now,
thoroughly organized in the Senate, agains:
the Administration, will be the most bril-
liant and effective ever arranged, on any
occasion, in our history AS to the

Of two. the Wings are united against the

One of the mos! interesting reports ac-
companying tho Presidents message is
that Of the Quartermas'er General, II. S.
Jessup. The General gives an account Of
tbs expenditure Of S2l ,70l ,424 in his de-
partnent on account Of the war. On the
18th of May, 1916, it became necessary
TO equip three separate armies--one for
lower Rio Grande, one for San Autoi.io,
and one for Fort Leavenwor,h. Las
One of the items Of purchase Tor tie
Missouri wing of the army was $50 hcr-
ses, 1868 mules, 1891 oxen, $50
wagons. and SIG pack saddles. The
quartermaster says that the trains have
suffered severely, and that unless the In
dams are severely chaslisedr i, Wi! soon
be impossible TO send train. m
The quartermaster says that since The
fall Of Puebla and Mexico, il is easy to-
supply the American army in the enc
mys, country. In the city of Mexico
alone there are thousand persons en-
ployed in making clothing. s.......
The department recommends, as eco
nomicAl and necessary, the organization
OF a corps of mechanics to serve during
the war. ,.... .r.-.
The following are some ofthc purcha-
ses of the department in the course Of a
year and half:
l,549 horses, for artillery and caval-
ry; 25,9 07 mules, 1928 oxen, $3.50
wagons, 81 steam vessels. 4 ships, 2 barks,
s briggs, 81 schooners, 2Ol cows, besides
life and surf boats, and several hundred
sail and steam vessels which have been
hired, as also 1900 or 5000 pack mules,
horses, SC. 1..:
The quartermas'er, after the detailed
operations Of the service, Gays:
"Wi,h our nearest depots farther from
tie sources of supply than Algiers is from
Tonlon or Marseilles, we accomplished
more in the first six months of our oper-
atoms in Mexico, than France, the first
military power in Europe, has accomplish
ed in Africa in seventeen years. And it is
added that, heavy as the expenditures un-
doubleday have been, there is not another
instance in the last two centuries in which
so much has been accomplished by any
ether nation, in SO short time, with SO
small force and at so little cost"

The Gaines Case.-The Day Book states
that in 1884, when Mrs. Gaines (then
Mira. Whitney, soon after her marriage,
went 10 New Orleans with Mr.. Whitney,
to take measures TO obtain their rights,
they applied to Edward Livingston for adj
vice as to the best mode of proceeding,
and gave bin fee Of $500 for written
opinion on that point alone. He furnished
them accordingly with very deliberate,
profound and elaborate opinion, COUNSEL
ing them to adopt the proceeding of bill
in chancery as ultimately the most COM
pletc and speedy, though at the outset and
fer time apparently the most tedious and
expensive. With remarkable sagacity
and foresight, he foretold precisely every
obstacle and every step of their progress,
with an accuracy that has not been found

Of a litigation OF fourteen years--from the
filing OF the bill to the ''decree" Just an.

A correspondent OF the NJ York Tyi-
Dune, writing from Washington city, does
up the romance in exquisite ylc. He says:
--"One lady has just taken off her white
glove because it was pressed by the hand
of HENsY Clay, and no other hand shall
ever press it again: it is sacred 10 that pa
:rio:ic grasp. Nor indeed has the hand Of
beauty been the only thing pressed to-
night for lips which nigh, have won an
angels kiss, have ielt themselves too high
" honored in being pressed by his.''
This is doing the thing to perfection.
HErRY CLAY is hereafter to be regarded
not only as the embodiment of Federal
principles, bat more than oil that, the re-
cipient OF favors wIIich Angels might en-
". 1t Is disgusting, aside from IFS impi.
ETY., to compare the idol OF federalism With
angelic excellence, and with those who are
acquainted with the past, the compliment.
to the ladies is, TO say the least Of it, an
equivocal one.
Some years ago the Federal press groan-
ed with It's denuncaiion of .Hln- u orship,
simply because the people OF this country
cluhg arouud the heroic JACKSON in his eff
forts TO dlsenthral them from the oppres-
sons of Bank rule and Money Monopoies;
but in all their devoted enthusiasm, none
were found silly and wicked enough to in
dulge in the kind of sentiment above quo
ted, and which is a fair sample of the tone
Of the Federal press whenever it speaks
Of CLAY. Claiming all the Intelligence,
they outrage common sense,
for all the morality" they undertaking
'y profane sacred things, if only the most
distant hope of advantage presents itself.
This is Federalism all oycr-the same
now, as it was at the beginning, and ev-
er will be. Pennsylvania.

From the Correspondence OF the Boston Post
WASHINGTON, Jan. %, lS48.

The "defensive line'' men, and the 'sno
territory men, are struggling hard to
make the war unpopular, and to defeat il
possible, the policy Of the administration in
carrying it on. With some every device
will be put in requisition that can hold out
the promise Of bringing disgrace upon ~
army in Mexico. This precious little
class of disinteres,ed patriots, ever since
the old Salem platform days, when New
England ''blue lights" burned on the
threatened ruins of this land, have ever
found their own country in the wrong and
our enemies Away. in the right. They
are against an extension Of domain, against
the acquisition of territory, against adding
new dominion, and against showing man
" resistance TO Insult and injury from
othe/ powers. Ia
/iow then can it be matter Of wonder
that such men, such party, is at this mo
ment found in open opposition to the con-
Istituted authorities OF the country in our
trying struggle with Mexico? To what
democrat is it, or can it be, matter o.
wonder? When have they manifested a
different feeling? Ia the revolution-in
the war OF l8l2-in every conhic. in
every trial, when, where, how has the old
federal party shown their devotion to their
own freedom, their own institutions and
laws, their own soil and goverament?-
One might naturally suppose that they had
learned something from experience-b but
no; all the teachings of the past have only
served to render them more obstinate in
their blind, headlopg opposition to the on
ward march OF democracy. Here in The
halls Of congress, stand the Representatives
of that party, opposing supplies, threaten
ing impeachment, trammei'ing the admin
ist-a;ion, Strengthening the hands of Mex
leo. And from the devouring maws of
all such men, and Of such party, may
God in his mercy protect our country.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 25, lS48.

WAsu1NGroN, Jan. 25, lS48.
Congress is intently engaged in doing
nothing, of which work they will accom-
plish great deal this session. Both
houses, on the whig side. are manufacture
ing capital for the presidential election -
All their virulence is turned against the
President, as if he were TO be the next
candidate! In this vain labor to Withdraw
from the President the just confidence of
the people, the wings are putting them
selves in the same poaition they stood in
1874, when they expended so much time
and money to prepare magazine Of mis-
siIes against MIR. Van Buren,. They had
their cords of pamphlets and phan,o,ns pill
ed up at Washington, the fruits of the
whole campaign of the session, but they
were all rendered useless by the Bal,i
more convention selecting another caudi-
date. In the like way they are making
speeches BY the acre sgalns, Mr. Polk be
cause he dom, see Fl, to crafty their calls
upon HIM for information which has no
possible relation to the acts or duties Of
congress. Hence their calls for all the
plans and orders issued during the war,
and their zeal to find out what tie Presi.
dent means, when they have 10 notion
what they mean themselves, except it be 70
send cut their drag net in the hope of
catching something to make political capt.
tai OF. In this they would fail, if all the
plans and details OF the war were disclos.
ed, from beginning to end; hu, the impro-
priety Of such development, in the face
of the enemy, and for The benefit of either
Mexlcans at home or abroad, is so appa.
rent that the good sense of the nation will
fully sustain the President in hi. dcnifed
reasons for his refusa! to comply with the
idle and i'll hammered cali of the House.
The opposition in the Senate evince
proper respect for the CO ordinate branch
of HE government; they make requests
for all sorts of information, but append 10
it the qualification Of compatibility with
the public good. The House leave out
this qualification, aud then waste The pub
lie time in abusing the President.
The people will understand all this
There is no honest desire for information
to enable congress to act, no devotion to
country, no wish to relieve our eallan,
army, no desire TO bring about an honora-
bic peace, but to pervert facts to party
purposes, and force tho administration to a
of Mexico or a dishonorable
peace. The GOODNESS Of the executive and
the cabinet is equal TO the task ofmeeting ali
l. I
aim; and in both houses there are able
men, who detec; and express these ari-
fees Of the opposition.
