~ ronStn thc pun took the trumpeter
upon his horns and pitched him over the
fence. At this strange and extraoftlina-
ry treatment on the part of brother
performer, the trumpetcr SLOWLY raised
himself to his feet and shaking his fist
towards the cloud of dust that surround
ed the triumphant bull, exclaimed in q
voice of mellow thunder, "Yo,l NAV be q
good musicianer, but damn me If Won
arc any gentleman.
The lntelligcncer has of late endeavor.
cd to sound his a at the command Of tho
"Whig," but has made complete failure
OF IT, lthas, however, tossed the s'Whig''
INTO the adjoining lot, and, in new
prospectus, has left the heroic age to
take care of itself. Whether the "Whio"
VIII admonish the Intell:gencer as the
trumpetcr did the bull, remains to be
seen. AT any rate, we expect great
things from the former, and little ones
IRON the latter. From the Republic we
expect another sort of music; and, as it
Jas green sign, we have no doubt but
thatit will be great fayorito at court
The late mistake in the appointment
OF navy agent for this port has made
sad havoc in higher circles. WHY the
Second Washington should persist in de-
claring Alexandria to be in the District
OF Columbia we know not, unless the re.
PROCESSION of that place to Virginia was
unconstitutional We know the execu-
tive never could have appointed an indi-
yidual out of the District to any local
office here, because he SO declared Il.
and the Second Washington never has
nor never will violate pledge or break
his word, if he thinks of it, we are GER
tain.
The friendship which the old chief of
tins new heroic age cntertains for some
OF his old friends is astonishing. When
asked who he really meant should have
a certain navy agency, we are told that
ne replied with more than NAPOLEON
promptness, "Why, the man who mar
red the neice of my old friend B. I
don't know whether his name is La .hri-
cum or Linthrop, nor do / care" This
Jibes in sc well with tie Allison letter
ant the anauguret address, wherein he
stated that he had no friends to reward
and no enemies, TO punish, and is SO strict
iy IN accordance with the declaration that
capacity, honesty, and fidelity shall be
the requisites and the governing princi-
pies in all appointments. that we begin,
after having repeated il several times out
of doors, TO believe that it is true bill.
At any rate, gentle readers, you have it
as cheap as we had it; and hasn't il
lplayed--7what he told Bragg to give
the Mexicans, in Georgetowa2 We
pause for reply. y. s .a
IL is q glorious thing to be above all
law-to be free from all rules-to do as
one darn'd pleases to do, at all times and
under all circumstances; but yet, in a free
country, where 100000 of SOY ereigns
elect one of their number every four
years to sit at the head OF their political
table to keep order, it's rather unpleas-
ant to find in the person of such an one
an autocrat, with allo old Charles the
Kills (of Sweden) ohstnacy, and with
but little of his good sense, I'm view of
,lchan election, we feel as old Pallet felt
when he got his thumb into Peregrine
Pickles mouth, in Hornbcck's bed cham
beT eff it is rot Q bite, it is so near one
that there is no use in quarelling about
the difference" .,..H
The present order of things being ac-
cidental, we understand that the most is
to be made of the luck. Appointments,
therefore, which never would have been
