GENTLEMEN.-The 17th Congressional Dis

pinlon it will require us TO put forth our most
popular man for candidate, in order to insure

confident of victory. The times, the cause and
the good and welfare of our common country,
demand Of us our best efforts, and the names
and influence of our most talented and popular
men, to counteract and put down the misrule
and political depravity Of our government. A
Jackson, Van Buren, Tyler and Polk, have had
their day Of misrulc, and our once happy and
prosperous country feels and bIeeds at every
pore with The measures by them adopted and in
llicled upon us. Since the days of Looms
and Coffin, this district has not been represent
ed in Congress by "A Wing voice and vote, and
il is now high Time that we should be heard in
the councils Of our country. You will there
fore, Mr.. President, permit me to say TO I no
Convention, over whom you have the honor 10
preside, thai have absolutely declined being a
candidate for nomination, and at the same time
feeling deeply impressed with the good feelings
Of my friends for the honor done TO me by oc.
lering my name for your consideration.
am, very respectfully,

GooD.-A scene is narrated Characteristic of the
mixed gaeiy and ferocity of the French character.
An ardent Republican, in addressing Club, with
more than ordinary violence, worked himself up to
such pitch of rage against aristocras monarchists,
and couspirators against the Republic, that he at
length exclaimed ''The Republic will not be safe till
at least 800 900 heads have fallen" This PROPOSE
ton was received with loud murmurs, and cries of
'Turn him Quit" but at length one of the members
rose and said, "The sentiment is noble and patriot
c one. l should like TO have lock of that citizens
hair" Loud applause followed and the lock Of hair
was promptly in the hands of the demander Pres
emily another admirer of patriotism expressed wish
for portion of the citizens locks, and hundreds fol-
lowed The end of it was, that the ardent democrat,
who was 80 anxious for 100000 aristocratic heads,
turned out of the meeting without single hair
on his own.

SIMPLE DIVISION - We heard story the other
night the subject of Division that we thought
''some" at the time. and never having seen it in
print, we are tempted to give readers the benefit
Of IT,
A Southern planter named P, pretty well to do in
the world nOU, some twenty years ago, poor
boy on the eastern shore of Maryland. One of his
strongest and most marked traits Of character was
an inordinate love of money. This, however, is
characteristic of the people of ''them digglns,
where they practice skinnng strangers during brisk
seasons, and sknning one another during dull times.
Undue course Of time, p was Of age, and thought il
about time to get married. He went to q neighbor-
ing village, and in the course of events was intro
doced to daughter of Judge B.
''Dang fine gal," said the embryo speculator to a
friend who was gaining him an entrance among the
elite.
"Very."
Show much might Judge B. be worth 7"
sWhy, about 100000" was the reply.
"And how many children has Judge B :" continued
the inquirer.
"Only three"
'sThree into ten goes three times and third over
mentally ciphered P. Here was a chance glori-
Gus chance-and be improved it, toe. He made love
to the beautiful and unsophsticaed daughter Of the
Judge with all the variations. Strange 10 say-for
ne was as uncouth a looking cub as ever went un-
licked-his suit prospered, and they were married.
The honey moon passed of. as all other honey
lively and ehatty, and often made illusions to her
brothers and sisters. Startled at number of names
