An ELOQUENT REBL-p

The following article from the NIL a..
ser leading Whig paper, speaks for i
shows the absurdity Of the ground asst - ono c
General Taylor, by his organs at WashngH
II we know anything Of the character of &c
Taylor, and the men by whom he is surrounded,
they must view with decided disapprobotion, if not
disgust, the course it (lhe National Whig) is pur
suing. We hesitate not TO say for part
(and we hope the whole Wing press of the coun-
try will speak out on this subject)-tha, the posi-
ton assumed by the National Wing in relation to
removals and appointments meets our decided con-
demnatlon. II is calculated, we think, to bring
disgrace on the Administration, and the sooner it
is repudiated The better. We agree with The Re-
gister entirely. in its estimate Of the excuses
put forth by the National Wing for removals from
office. but the Register has right to make The
Administration responsible for those excuses
When the Wing gravey asserts that moi a single
removal of an incumbent, not single refusal TO
re-appoint a Democrat, has been dictated by the
fact that the incumbent or applicant was q Demo-
Graf" and that the " Administration proceeds in
all It's consultations and decisions IN respect to D.
pontmens TO office, upon the sole ground OF capa-
city, hdelity 10 the Constitution, and honesty" we
know that it is simply NOT TRUE. We knolc and
so does every man, that political considerations
have Influenced the Administration In many re-
movals, and is right and proper that they should
1t is utterly absurd. ridiculous and disreputable 10
pretend 10 the contrary. The doctrine of the
Whig leads 10 the inevitable conclusion, that every
man removed by General Taylor was either in
competent or dishonest, and herce removal car.
rles with il personal insult and disgrace. We are
not prepared 10 consent to any such doclrue.ra
iher, we enter our solemn protest against ii. Pro-
badly, as q general rule, the gentlemen removed
are as unerceptionable, morally and socially, as
competent and much beloved in all the private
relations of life, as their SUCCESSORS. Such as the
case ace knoc in this city, and would be the last
man who would admit any doctrine that could be
construed into assault on their character and
reputation gentlemen. They were removed
purely and exclusively on political grounds. =
There is no mistake about it, and il is utterly use
less for any one 10 pretend TO lie contrary. They
were removed on political considerations, and on
that ground, and that alone, we are prepared to
defend the act of removal. We want nothing bet
ter. We despise all these co1c1rdly su6lerfuges.
Why attempt to dodge and evade the real point
and true issue in this matter of removal There
is but one honest and correct view for Wings to
take, and that is, that IL is tie duty of tie .4dni-
niStration TO remote Democrats and put Wigs in
their stead, and why qubble about it, and try 10
dodge it a.? Let US be honest to ourselves and JUS,
10 our opponents.

learn from physician who has visited the ami
mails, that these distinct species, and

monkeyfied at the resemblance. They sit upon a
chair, eat with spoon, very neat, (in which
respect all their prototypes do not resemble them)
and the male is quite jealous upon his ladys re-
ceiving the slightest attention from visiters, and
defends her from insults with a stick, which he

understand that Barnum has already been tee-

THE FARMERS DAUGHTER.

Ohe may not, IN the may dance
With jewelled maidens vie,
She may not smile on courtly swain
With soft, bewitching eye,
She cannot boast form and mien
That lavish wealth has brought her,
But, ah, she has much faiser charms,
The farmers peerless daughter!
The rose and lily on her cheek
Together love to dwell, r. r--
Her laughing blue eyes wreath around
The heart wthing spell,
Her smile is bright as mornings glow
e Upon the dewy plain,
And listening to her voice we dream,
That Spring has come again.
The tmid fawn is not more wild,
Nor yet more gay and free,
The lly's cup is not more pure
In all its purity
or all the wild flowers in the wood
Or by the crystal water . .
There s none more pure or fair than shs
The Farmers peerless daughter!
The naughty belle whom all adore
On downy pillow lies,
While forth upon the dewy lawn
The merry maiden hies;
And with the lark's uprising song;
Her own clear voice is heard
Ye may not tell which sweetest sings;
The maiden or the bird.
Then tell me not of jeweled fair
The brightest jewel yet
Is in the heart whore virtue dwells
And innocence is set!
The glow of health upon her cheek
The grace no rule hath taught her
The fairest wreath that beauty twines,
IS for the Farmers dauohter,

A notorious convict effected his escape last
week, from The Massachusetts State Prison in 4
Singular way, which is thus related in the Boston
Journal:
In November last. Phillips was brought to trial
before the Court of Common Pleas, at Lowell, up
on three indictments for burglary, and being con-
vcted on each, was, on the Ath day of that month,
sentenced 10 nine years hard labor III the Slate
Prison, which sentence he was serving out at tho
time of his escape. While he was in confinement
he made statements 20 the warden, relaIiYc 10 his
having buried some $50 900 in a spot described
bv him, bat the warden considered his story for
time as wholly improbable. Finding that he met
with no success with The warden, Phillips next
related his story to his Sunday school teacher,
who il seems was somewhat inclined TO believe 1t
was true, and who communicated with the warden
on the subject. Thus the matter remained until
the occurrence of the following denouenaem
Early Monday morning, a cab-man states
that he went to the residence of Mr.. Robinson,
the Warden, whore he took as passengers Mr.. Ro-
binson, City Marshal Nichols, and third person
supposed to be Phillips. He also took as baggage,
a bag containing u shovel, or spade, and pickaxe,
apa drove the depot Of the Old Colony Railroad,
where he left his passengers and the bag, under
standing that they were going TO Fall River.
Our informant further states that the three men
proceeded to Fall River, where Phillips conducted
Them 20 bye place, and pointing out particular
spot, told them if they dug certain distance un-
der that bank - they would there find the hidden
treasure. AT this time the digging wns commenced
by the City Marshal, who was from time to time
relieved both by the Warden and Phillips.
After considerable cavity had been made, suf
fcienlly capacous to admit one or two persons,
and while MIR. Nichols was under the bank, hard
at work. the Warden and Phillips standing at tho
edge of the hole, the rascal watched his opportu-
nifty, and giving Mr.. Robinson a violent push,
tumbled him into the hole upon Mr.. Nichols. He
instantly threw quantity Of dirt in upon them,
much TO the detriment of their eye sight, and TAX
ing TO his heels, effected his escape!
AT the time the Warden fell upon Mr.. Nichols,
the latter had his ancle spraincd so badly, that no
is still confined to his house.
