THE .EL1rE. pEmoCRACY.

An honest, good looking Democrat
dropped into our Office on Saturday with
a copy of the Union in his hand, and
begged to know if we could inform him
what was meant by an "ehte meeting of the
most distinguished Democrats of Rich
mond." He said he had heard of the
Barnburners and the Old Hunkers, but he
had never heard of the elite, and he want
ed to learn what new-fangled idea that
was. He said Heaven knew there were
wings enough to the old party already ;
that it was pretty nearly split to shivers ;
and if there was going to be any more
cutting up, he could not for the life of him
imagine how they were to get along.
We told our friend that elite, to the best
of our knowledge, was a French word !;
and that it meant in vulgar English
4" first chop" or Supper crust" In more
elegant language, we observed, the French
used the word to signify /" the best Of its
kind"-the "choicest of any thing" or
the " flower" 60 SO, then," says our
friend, "Mr. RITcHE means to say that
there are frst-chop, upper crust, choice
Democrats in Richmond, and that he is
one of them. Now, should like to know
if he finds any thing about these elite
Democrats in the resolutions of '9S or in
the Baltimore platform"
We explained the matter to him as
well as we could, but we bad hard time
to satisfy him that il was all right. AT
one time, he thought that was wing
of the party he should like to join,
but when we inquired if he rode in a
one-borse shay, and how he was off
for white kid gloves and white waist
coats, his answers convinced us that he
would never do for the elite of the Rich
mond Democracy. We then asked him
if his father was Tory in the Revolution;
and when he answered " no." We shook
our head mournfully, and told him it was
quite impossible for him to get in among
the elite of the Richmond Democracy.
According to Mr.. RITcHIE's account of
the matter, it was this clique Of elite Dem
ocrats at Richmond that butchered the
% sweet little fellow" MARTIN VAN Bur N.
There is much naiUefe in Mr.. RrTcHIE's
description of the way in which the ehfe
managed the matter. As this was the
first chapter in the history of the Disco
luton Of the Locofoco Party, we shall
have occasion to recur TO it. The chapter
is entitled: "The Elite of Richmond plot
the overthrow of the Elite at Albany"

THE LAW SCHOOL AT CAMBRIDGE,
MASSACHUSETTS.

The Law School of the University at
Cambridge, of which an advertisement APP
pears in our paper of to-day, presents un-
common advantages to all persons DESTROYS
of obtaining thorough legal education.
Judge PARKER, the Royal Professor, was
for many years chief justice of the State
of New Hampshire, to which honorable
post he was elevated, after long course
of successful practice at the bar. He is a
sound, thorough, and learned lawyer--fa-
miliar with all the profound and reconcile
learning of the compton law, the study OF
which he has pursued with native relish,
aod expounding its principles with con-
vincing logic and luminous clearness. Mr..
PARSONS, the Dane Professor, was for
many years engaged in the practice Of the
law in Boston, and brings to the discharge
of his duties familiar acquaintance with
The republic. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1849-1853, 1849-07-30

the principles of commercial law, and an
enlightened comprehension Of the spirit Of
law and the philosophy of jurisprudence.
He is also man of various accomplish
ments--a ripe scholar, of remarkable con-
versational eloquence, whose well-stored
and fertile mind communicates some por-
ton Of its own electric energy to that of
every person who approaches him. These
gentlemen devote their whole time to the
duties of their professorships.
Besides the advantages derived from the
tuition of these Jealous and able teachers,
the students have access to an admirable
law library, by far the most extensive and
best in the whole country; and they thus
early acquire familiarity with books,
which are the tools of the lawyer, and the
power of investigating legal points. The
mutual action and reaction, also, of large
number of students, eager in the pursuit
acknowledge, and ambitious of professional
excellence, cannot fail to have the most
favorable effects, and to create an atmo-
sphere Of law which no one can inhale
without benefit.
To these substantial attractions are to be
added the presence of a well-endowed uni
versity, a free admission to it's various
courses of lectures, the power of studying
modern languages at moderate price, and
the use Of the public library of the Univer-
sity, perhaps the best in the United States.
Nor should we overlook the refining and
elevating influences of the cultivated and
intelligent society Of Cambridge and Bos-
ton, never closed to young men Of agree
able manners and respectable character.
In view of all these direct and indirect ad-
vantages, it may be safely affirmed that no
institution for legal studies can more conf
IDENTIFY be commended to young men than
that at Cambridge.

Smoothing with pous hands his snowy hair,

Sometimes thou sorrowest DER departed Youth,
Like Venus by Adon-sometimes like Ruth,
Thou stealest behind the wasteful reaper, Time

The loose ears shaken from his garnered shcaves
Sometimes thou sttest like a maiden lone
In pleasant dreams of Youth, thy true love flown,
Reading his burning letters DER for hours,
Kissing the relics of his withered flowers
Pressed in the pages of favorite book
Opening thy casket twenty times TO look,
Glowing and weeping, DER its treasured things,
Love gifts, and tokens, precious gems and rings
