The President among the People.

The correspondent of the Philadelphia Neaos
states that the journey of the President from Bed
ford Springs 10 Somerset was marked by contin-
ued demonstrations of public admiration. He
says: "At every town, village, cross road, ham,
let, and tavern, they have turned out en- masse-
men, women, and children-and greeted him as
no man was ever before greeted, at least in this
part of the country" e-I-sgagt.,9
The party stopped to dine at small roadside
tavern in the mountains, and after dinner, it aP-
pears Gen. TAYLOR entered into conversation,
with red hot Locofoco, which is thus reported:
Loco.--[Walking up to the President Giner.
all how dye do I'm glad to see you ye, but
didn't vote for ye, cause I'm a Dimocrat
Gen. Taylor I'm just as glad to see you for
all that; came here to see Wings, Democrats
and Natives, and all. and am glad to see all.
Loco.--Y ou said you should be the President ol
the people, and not Of party, and that you
wouldn't be proscriptive but you've turned ou'
the Dmocrats and nobody else!
t Gen. Taylor.-Who else could turn out =
Nearly all the office holds were of your party, and
|, Of course, desire an equalization. II should
let your friends have all the places, and the Wings
none, it would be prescribing the Wings!
Loeo.-You're right, Gineral; | never thought
of that. b'lieve the Dimocrats did have all the
places-thats fact! They first got them from
Gineral Jackson.
Gen. Taylor.-Ye my good friend, they've hac
possession of them for nearly twenty years and
they ought to be satisfied with their half hereaf
Ter
This argument satisfied the Loco, and he owned
up. The whole affair ended in a general laugh
and, shaking the General by the hand, he ex
claimed ' You're right, Gineral, and repeated i
until the carriage rolled away.

Pat. Collins, the brazen demagogue, whose
shameless libels of Henry Clay and the Wings,
earned for him from the late administration the Of
fee of Surveyor of the port of Cincinnati and
who when recently superseded failed to pay over
the funds in his hands, is much ncensed because
be is branded as defaulter. His impudent pre-
tensions to honesty are even endorsed by the Lo-
cofoco press, and they would fain have their read
ers believe that this man, who seems to have
plunged to the arm pits into the national treasury,
is martyr to Wing malevolence! The facts of
the case appear to be as follows The U. s. Treas
ury claimed of Collins upwards of $1s0,0O0, of
which he has only paid $4,000, leaving balance
of III 900 dollars against him. 1t is understood
that Collins has 900 standing to his individual
credit in one Of the Cincinnati banks; this the
Government is trying to secures and, if successful,
Collins defacation will be reduced to about Nine
y-Four Thousand Dollars! This is the pitable
exhibit which the pure and prosecuted" Pat. Col
Inns makes when his much-vaunted official in
tegrity" is in part probed. No wonder Locofoco-
ism is indignant at the prying spirit of Whiggery,
and that the virtuous Mr. Collins has been COM
PEELED to employ a lawyer!
The defalcation of Nathaniel DENLY, late Navy
Agent, amounts to $159,443 67-for which sum
judgment has been given in favor ofthe U. States
by the District Court of Philadelphia.
A late Pension Agent in New-England, who
has filled many Offices. from Editor of newspa-
per down to Senator in Congress and Governor
Of State" is also reported as defaulter in the
sum of $4,000.
The above, with some 100000 lost by the late
q. S. Marshall at New York, show an aggregate
of nearly 100000 wasted by dishonest agents.
Who in the face of such facts, will say that the
recent change in the administration has not already
accomplished much good Who, with such de.
velopments before him, would seek to arrest the
wholesome process OF Reform i-Susser Register

And Then 2

A story is told of a very good and pious man
whom the Church of Rome has enrolled among
her saints on account of his great holiness. He
living at of the Italian Universites es, when
young man whom he had known as boy, ran
up to him with face full of delight, and told him
that what he had long been wishing above all
things in the world was at length fulfilled His
parents having just given him leave TO study Law,
thereupon he had come to the law school at this
University on account of its great fame, and
meant to spare no pains or labour in getting
through his studies as quickly possible. In
this way he ran on long time and when at last
he came to stop, the holy man, who had been
listening to him with great patience and kindness
said
Well, and when you get through your course
Of studies, what do you mean to do then.n
"Then ] shall take my Doctors degree" an
swered the young man.
And then !" inquired Philippe Ner.
" And then," continued the youth, 81 shall have
number of difficult and knotty cases to manage,
shall catch peoples applause by my eloquence
my zeal, my acutensss, and gain reputation"
:" And then1" again asked the holy man.
And then--why then there cannot be ques
ton but what shall be promoted to some high Of
flee or other; besides, shall make money anc
grow rich"
"And then I" repeated Philippe.
"And then," said the student, +" and then shall
die"
" AND THEN !' asked Philippe, mildly.
"Whereupon the young man made no answer
but cast down his head and went away Thi
last And Thenr had pierced like flash of light
ming into his soul, and he could not get quit of il
Soon after he forsook the study of the law, CAV
himself up to the ministry of Christ, and spen
the remainder Of his days in good words AM
works.
The question which Philippe Neri put to tn
young lawyer is one which we should put fre
quently to ourselves. When we have done al
that we are doing all that we dream Of doing
even supposing that all our dreams were accom-
plished, that every wish of our heart is fulfilled
still may we ask What will we do! What wi

Dandy Democracy.

The Locofoco newspapers are lampooning the
President at every part of his journey, misrepre-
senting his actions, putting ungrammatical Ian
guage in his mouth, accusing him of inability to
make eloquent and graceful speeches, &C., &c.
This strikes us as not very democratic. Gen.
Washington often spoke and, what was worse,
wrote ungrammaiicay, and nine -tenihs of the peo-
pie, the editors, the lawyers, the statesmen and
the orators of the country can do no better. The
art of oratory too is acquired by few men; and is
by no means test OF the sense of him who pos.
sesses it. We know many half.cracked fellow
who has natural gift that way, and many man
OF sense who has none at all.
Ghbness of the tongue, and exquisiteness Of
manners, are not qualifications of a Republican
President. To have served well his country, te
have sacrificed much in her behalf, to be patriotic
and honest in his aims, and sensible, prudent and
efficient in his actions. are the necessary qualf
cations Of President and these Gen. Taylor
possesses in high degree, however fools may
ridiculs bis manners or dandies make sport of hi.
plain and untutored ways.-State Gazette.

A Wedding Spoiled.

Tuesdays Argus and Atlas continue to dispute
siff1y about who should bear the blame of the
Rome affair. Young Miss Betty Barnburner, OF
ST. Lawrence Co. accepted proposal of mar
riage from that well-known widower old Judge
Hunker, the gruff Utica Lawyer, who had been
previously counting Polly Texas, the heiress of a
large flock of bipeds, known and treated as cattle
down South. The parson lost his fees, the guests
lost their bridal favors, the old Judge was heard
to grumble at Miss Barnburner's near relationship
to an Ex-Governor, now no more, but who hailed
from Canton in his life time ; and it is shire ewdy
suspected that his love for Polly's cattle" has
sent him once more down South, visiting, and
singing Marcy's March, to the words
Yes the spoils
Are for the vctors!
The Argus says that the Hunker Committee
proposed the doctrine of opposition to the Elk
