Reasons Cor Supporting General
TayiOr.

!. Those WHO are friends Of peace. and desire
TO see their country prosperous and happy, who
desire to see industry rewarded. should rally T."
the suppnrt Of Gen. Taylor, for although he has
been bred to arms, he loves peace for its beauties
and from high sense Of the obligations d hui

respect as well at home as abroad, all who desire
to see onr grea, Republic the admiration Of the
world should rally to the support Of Gen. Iag-
Ter.
8. As truth, honor. virtue patriotism, and the
love Of Justice in the Chief Magistrate, indis-
pensable prerequisites to successful adm in'sra
of government, and as all these qualities are
found in the person Of General Taylor, those who
desire to see those blessings which enure to- a
people from such ruler should rally to his sup
port.
4. All who love their country better than par
ty, and who desire to see its government admin
istered upon great national principlcs-who de-
sire to see whole people placed upon the broad
platform of Constitutional equality-should raj
" to the support of Gen. Taylor. for he has said
that if elected, he will he the presidcat of the
nation and not ola pary--and what Iuchag
Taylor says, he MEANS and never has been known
to utter an nntruth.
5. Gen. 7avlor is known to be one Of the beat
read men in the country, to possess c"mprehcn
sve mind, to he OF cool calculating Judgment,
capable Of arriving at INST conclusions, TO be te-
narious of doing that which is right, and OF being
above al selfish motives, he is. therefore, the We
ny man to be placed at the head of our govern
ment, in order that lis corrnptons may be cle'ns
cd out; hence it is. that III should rally TO his
support who desire TO see ours, what it ought to
be--the Model Repnbiic oitle world.

How Uncle Billy POpIin
"did'' tho Landlord.


"did'' tho Landlord.
Mr.. Editor-In one ofthe large towns
that border the eastern bank of the Con-
necticut, in the Granite State, there lived
not many years since, an eccentric old
fellow called Uncle Billy Poplin; or,
more familarly, and for short, Uncle
Billy. Now Uncle Billev had sort OF
continual hydrophob'a, which led him to
regard every thing Of an aqueous nature
with utter adherence; and like many of
the reading community of the present
day he felt uneasy without his regular
allowance Of s'spirit.''
But as Uncle Billy had nothing but
work and wits TO enable him to enjoy his
daily rotations, and his age, about 65,
prevented him from realizing much rev.
erne from the former source. he was Of
ten ''hard up" for change, and therefore
had to set the latter engine in motion,
which was ACKNOWLEDGED by all who
knew him, to be of seoeral horsepower.
Having now brought my character upon
the stage, I will tell you how he sdid"
the landlord. One warm day in the lat
ter part of summer, the old man found
the drinking hour of IL A. NJ. approach
ing, and without the means Of purchas-
ing his usual dram; he sat in the shady
porch OF the village inn, trying to think
Of some way to raise a drink, when the
landlord who had just returned from a
piscatory excursion with fine lot of
trout, acco-ted him with, "Hallo, Uncle
Billy, haint got fine string OF trout'
If had peck of new potatoes now, Fd
have dinner fit Tor king"
A bright thought struck Uncle Billy,
and starting up he sa'd--"Look here
landlord, il, you'll give me quarter, l'Il
get you the pratIes in time for dinner"
"Agreed,' said Bonitace,
'tUncle Billy Immediately took hashe;
and hoe and started off to get the "pra-
Ties" He returned in lnss than quar-
ter Of an hour showing that he did not
60 far Tor them.
He delivered the potatoes, and after
receiving thc quarter, was about to re-
turn a portion OF it for a dram, when
mine host requested to know where he
rot the vegetablrs. as H. should like to
rel some more. Incle Billy answered
him by saving, "Stand the drink and I'll
tell YOU - The drink was forthcoming
when he cave the prom,yrd Information
as follows: "You will tipa plenty If EN-
in your garden, down undcr the hill;
that's where got these"
"pone brown said Bon,iAce ---
"Won't YOU take cigar, Uncle Billy"
"No thank yon," said the old fellow.
with a chuck!e of satisfaction; l never
smokes after free drink"
One day, when the landlord was busy
attending 10 n" ,:3r' passengers who
had Just arrived, Lncly nrlIy, whose
pockets We're again in thyir uftentime
