W There is despicable mode ofren-
dering prominent those individuals. who
without very large share of merit are
spoken of for Offices in the gift of the
people. 1t is carried out, not by any
Efforts to elevate these individuals. but
by strenuous effarts to drag down others
gilmore merit to their level. As mean
and contemplate as this practice is, yet
we find it very fashionable at this time.
Those engaged in it can wearall the hon.
or. We envy them not. Whenever an
individual engages in this mode of cleo
tioneering, you may set it down as fix
cd fact" that his favorite is not what he
should be-his qualifications are none of
the most excellent.

They stand Condemned!

To-day we publish The views of the
Locoroco Presidential Candidate upon
revolutions. Here we add the opinions
of another, the editor Of the New Orleans
Delta. Let this authority not be denied
For two years, the paper has been quot
ed, praised, received, as good authority
by the democracy. Now. that it makes
against the Revolutionists of our State,
let them not reject it.
"lf the people violate and disregard
their own laws-1 they resort to other
means sofaccomplishiag Their purposes than
those proU'ded in tie p0litical systems
framed By Reconsideration has our Re.
publican Government given way to the
worst tyranny to which society can be
subjected"
This is true in every sense: All mob,
ocrats, all disorganizers,all revoluiionists,
in free country, the laws of which are
made and sanctioned by the people them
selves and provisions made for their con,
stitutional test, their alteration OF repeal.

When the procession passed through

great soldier of the age.

among US may not only restore him to full
vigor, but be full of fenjoyment and leave

Had Gen. Scott not forbid any public
demonstrations in his favor, or had he
not avoided them. such glorious recep
ton would have been given him by his
admiring and grateful countrymen, as
would have made the Administration

awaits them and which they then coult

lowing extract delivered by him in New
York City in speech upon the French

most signally condemning his friends in
this State. We commend the extract to
the calm consideration of our Locofoco
friends; it can be found in the Campaign

Bloody Tragedy.

An individual, named Frank Rust, a
slave trader living in Boone county. KY,
brought into Covington few days since,
three slaves. which he had purchased in
Grant county, and lodged them in the
Jail for safe keeping, intending to ship
them to the south the next morning. The
slaves consisted of a husband, wife and
child, and the jailer. going into the Jail
the next morning, found all three wel,er-
ing in their bload-their Mroats having
been cD'! The wife it appears prevailed
on the husband TO kill herself and child
and then destroy himself-they preferring
this to southern servitude! When disco.
vered the wife and child were dead. but
the husband survived, though unable to
speak. 1t was not expected that he could
live. Roman history can scarcely afford
parallel to this.

HARD LIVES FOR LOVERS.

EH
An eccentric old gentleman, (says
the Nottingham Mercury,) who lives in
the county of Lincoln, has just put in
force the following scheme, as a prevent
alive to his daughter, a pretty girl about
twenty years Of age, marrying a young
man to whom she has been very much
attached from childhood. The 'coniug-
al knot was to have been tied the fol-
lowing year, But
"How oft, alas! one hour will blast the hopes
Of many years.
The old man hearing of the foolish
wager that has lately been made in
Yorkshire to sell in n year two mill
ion boxes of lucifer matches, has declar-
ed that his daughter shall not be given in
marriage until her lover has performed a
similar task, that is, that he shall sell
mi million boxes lucifer matches, and
a half million packets paste backing;
and that he shall sell only two boxes
for a penny, and not more than one shill-
ing's worth at a time. The young man
has willingly consented to comply with
the old mans wish. with a hope that he
may sell them sooner than the old man
anticipates. He will commence in
Nottingham next week, and from thence
he will pass through the several towns
in England till his mission be completed.

BLoopY Three Men
Killed and Several Wounded.-The
town of Yellville, in Marion county, Ar
kansas, was on last Monday week the
scene of n of the most frightful and
disgraceful %rencontres that we have ever
known.
We would premise, hat for many
years there has been waged, between
the Tuts and their friends, on the one
part. and the Erereits and their friends
on the other, a most deadly feud. The
war between the Montagues and Capu-
lets did not begin to equal it.
1t seems that a man named Mooney
who belongs to the Everett wing, was
badly, beaten some three or foui ,'SeAs
| since; and that the Everetts and Mooney
got up a kind o Engagement among them
selves, by which they and their adherents
forced themselves into,a regulating par
ty, and had declared that the Kings.
Shelf, Williams, and Hampton Tut
must leave the country.
On Monday they all met at Yellville.
Hampton Tut has a store there. and
was prudent enough to keep out of the
way. He knew that a row would be
raised, and that they wop}4G if possible
kill him. Jesse Turneiy So, spoke
there that day, and after D. speaking,
the two parties, armed to the teeth, had

and when the people had pretty sener-
left for home, the fight commenced. A
