LETTER

From Senator CorOin upon the Cabinet appoint
aeRts
The Herald, Whig paper published at George
town, Scott county, Kentucky, contains the follow
ing letters in it's issue of February 18th The re
ply OF Mr. Corwin is eminentlY characteristic, the
loTia senator in his most good natured and careless
uadresS The Herald thinks that it may well be
compared to "Burke's address at Bristol, on deeli
ming the ball. in l7e0-whether we regard the
beauty of the style or the holiness of the senti
ments"
GEORGETOWN, KY, Jan. IL. '49
Ny DEAR SIR:-You are good deal spoken Of
in connection with the secretaryship; if either
should be offered to you, the question is-ought you
to accept? A cabinet appointment implies degree
OF drudgery and dependence, both; while it would
take you out of the Senate-the true theatre OF
your glory. But you would be better paid, in some
of the departments; that is true and that is some
thing in one scale; but not much when honor and
glory are in the other My fear is, that your
chance for the presidency will be diminished, by
leaving the senate. Your friend,
I. c. FLoURNoY.

WASHINGTON Cry, JAN 90 1849.
DEAR GENERAL:-I received your note, last eve
ming. If | were much less modest, than l really

partlalty viii put on my poor abilities and still
poorer efforts For the friendship which thus abu-
ses your better Judgment cannot but feel graft
fed, nay proud; only regret that l cannot fulfil
the expectations which such friends must indulge.
have no more idea of going into General Tay-
lors cabinet, than of trip to the moon. In the
first place, if Gen. Taylor is the sagacious gentle
man hope to find him. he will not have me there
and secondly, were he to ask it, on his bended
knees, would not consent
He viii be attacked, by southern Democrats es-
psciaHy, on his supposed position, on the Wilmot
proviso: A seat held by me in his cabinet would
he proof positive against him, on that point l
would no more allow him to be assailed through
rue, then I would thrust a man between my head
and bullet In the next place, fools and dema-
gogues all over the republic could talk, with effect
of my position on the Mexican war-all these shafts
(f they fly at all) shall strike my own bosom, and
none other-General Taylor should select men to
whom no such positive objection exists. Let me
hear from you often
Truly, your friend,
THOMAS cORWIN.

LOWER sANDUsKY, MARCH "a, 1s49.
FDealh of Hon. Rodolphus Dickinson.

We are under the painful duty of announcing to
our readers the death of Hon. R. Dickinson, our
member to the Lower House of Congress The
fact was telegraphed to his family here Wednes-
day last and took nearly every by surprise, as
the previous report represented him out of danger.
As member of Congress, he was invaluable, al
ways pursuing a straight forward and honorable
course, and his loss will be severely felt in that
body. But here at Home his loss will be doubly Sc
we're. His family loses kind husband and an af-
fectionate father, and community most valuable
citizen. His remains were attended to their last
resting place by large concourse of the citizens of
Washington, and the Senate passed the usual res
olutions

WISCONSIN AHEAD.

The people of this new State are ahead of any
of its neighbors, in contriving out modes for con-
structing roads. They place logs in the road, and
then cover them up as is done in making charcoal,
and then set fire to them, thus forming complete
bed of coal, which is spread out into the proper
breadth, and covered over with dirt and the road
is done
One of these roads is now being built from Port
Ulon in Washington county, to some point in Dodge
county. The contracts let at $1,56, and $l,623
per rod, or $4,000 and $50 per mile The av-
erage cost of plank road is 81, 800.

A RED REPUBLICAN,.

While the subject of printing was under consid-
Grafton in the Ohio House of Representatives on
the 18th inst, the following scene enacted ac-
cording to the reporter of the Ohio State Journal:
Mr. Montfort addressed the House with much
6erceness of look, which drew from the Wings
frequent bursts of laughter. Mr.. NJ concluded
If he were permitted to act he would take off the
heads of these gentlemen, Cooking fercely at the
Whigs) Yes, Mr.. Speaker 1 would take off their
heads! Laughter among the Whigs] would
serve them worse than did those vile documents
(1e had, during his remarks, thrown them, one by
one, into the lobby.)
Mr.. Riddle moved that the gentleman have leave
to rush out and do something to reive his feelings

From rheumatisms and lumbago tooth-ache and
potions. Deliver
From smoky chimneys, scolding wives, cross chill
dren and wash-days Deliver us.
From all sorrow and grief, which shortens mans
life; from vexation and losses, skinned milk and

THAT'S IT.

Just send along few of those heels this way,
and you will receive the lasting gratitude of long
abused and unfortunate people Long and wea-
ry have been the cogitations of our citizens in con-
triving some plan to cross the streets but as yet
they have been unsuccessful. remedy has at
last been found, and if the inventor will only send
a supply of those boots out here, they would go
off like "hot buck-wheat cakes and moasses." Here
is the remedy:
A VALUABLE PArENr-A benevolent and in4
genious citizen has taken out a patent by which
he can undoubtedly make very large fortune.
The patent is of boot with spring heel, which
will enable the wearer to jump any width OF
street. at one bound 1t is intended to be used In
American cities where the mud is abundant.

SHORT, SHORTER, SHoRTEsT.-The dispatches oi
Gen. Taylor were short his speeches shorter, and
the following letter of his shortest:
During the Mexican War, one of the minor Off
GERS who had charge of the forage addressed to
Gen. Taylor, a note in these words:
"Sir In obedience to my instructions from the
Quartermaster at Tampa, have put all the horses
and mules upon half allowance; must the staff
horses form an exception to this rule %
To which the following letter was responsive:
"NO. 2. TAYLOR"

THE PLANK ROADS.

The prospect of these roads being built is very
favorable. The commissioners inform US that there
has been about $38oQO of stock taken, which leaves
only some ten or tae| thousand dollars yet to be
secured. The probability is the remainder of the
stock will be subscribed within few days. The
stock holders meet on Thursday, the 10th day Of
April next, to adopt rules and regulations to be
governed by, after which measures will be adopt
ed to put the building of the road Immediately un-
der way

w "Col Bliss is President Taylor's private
Secretary. We find the following account of his
first attempt in his new calling
"Col Bliss, in his new character ofPrivate Sec
retary of the President discharged duty in the
Senate, this morning, more trying to his nerves,
fancy, than when facing the batteries of the enc
nv, at Buena Vista. 1t was in bringing the first
Message from the President" containing the names
of the members of his Cabinet; and when he an
nounced it, he was as pale as ghost with the ag-
itation excited by this novel duty. Nevertheless
he so commanded his nerves as to discharge the
little piece of duty with dignity and propriety."

There are crying times in Washington about these
days The Union brings the most sickly accounts
of whole departments assembling and joining in a
general boo-boo at the fate which has overtaken
them. The old man Ritchie is chief crier His
heart is full as well as his pockets and it toverfows
like the foundations of the Nile. He knows no
Democracy but the pap-suckers at Washington,
and he thinks by publishing their tribulations the
whole nation will be melted to tears. Poor man !!
His time to below for himself has vet to come
He has been stuffed to repletion with pap, and his
paper the exclusive organ of the south, has teem-
ed with government provender and abuse. On
t's merits as Nationat paper it could not have
lived month, but on the good will of Southern
administration backed by the treasures of the peo-
pie, 1t has grown insolent and fat

the Union, was that of s Old Cave" and his loving

themselves out
Now if Father Richie supposes the people care
ne fig about such kind of troubles at Washington,
he Is greatly mistaken. They do not spend their
money, time and exertions at elections simply that
few cormorants can fatten on the spoils. The
great mass of the people care nothing about Office
Ali they want is good government and these &C
counts in the would-b government organ of the
groans of oficeholders in Washington are sickly

and discharge the duties, and under Democratic
administration we claim this should be done by
Democrats. But when the people have consti-
tutional way declared for change, die game, SUBJ
