Mr.. Goodrich, who is popularity known as Peter
Farley is at this moment strongly urged upon the adj

Partisan Consulate. There would appear to be con-
nexion between his fact and the editorial denuncia-
tons of Mr.. Walsh which have appeared in the gov
eminent Organ-lhe Republic
You may have noticed that the Georgian, the Intel
ligencer has not coun;enanced the censures pro-
fuSey bestowed upon Mr.. Walsh.
Mr.. Walsh, it is alleged by the Republic, does not
satisfactorily discharge The technical duties of the
Consulate. How this may be, do not know; but,
if improvement of this be needfnl, it would
be well to restore the late Consul, Mr.. Draper who
willing 10 devote his time and money to techni-
cal as well as other duties of tie Consulate.

to Mr. Walsh. When he is out, will ad-
wise you.
We are admirer of Walsh; but 10 supersede
him by the appointment of such "ierary dyspe2-
tic'' as Goodrich, would be ridiculous enough. But
it seems that nothing is too absurd for The Taylor
administration to be guilty Of.

good wine to a clergyman of Solothorn and as
he hesltated to send them by his servant, lest he

to take the horse which he himself usually rode.
Young Zultner, his return, said Kosciusko that
he would never ride his horse again, unless he gave
his purse at the same time. Kosciusko asked him
what he meant. He replied, ''soon as poor man on
the road takes off his bat. and asks for charity the
horse Immediately stands still and will not stir until
something is given to the petitioner-and as | had
no money about me, | was obliged to make a motion.
