 We noticed that the politicians of this bursagh were nthes deficient upon general politics, and therefore mere like uA This wss an agreeable dis covsry; snA ss they approached, Mud. who .s In- vsiaaAis. gave us their occupations, and told ns what they could talk about the best.
 Whsn Hans Van Ripper was introduced, we asked hlm about cabbages and kroat. and he wus sloqusEt h lhs cold slass line.
 Next came old DunderMwouvel, who lived ut Turkey Cock eorseF. He was terrific upon pouI- try, and as we never had Psachant for pigs POal- SEy, or the pip, we eoald only reply to him by elaPptlng our arms and cFOwiRg like barn door fowl, which Stevens mys we initiated to per feetion.

 Old van Butterspattsr entertained us upon his dairy matters to such an extent that we could have swern his mother wss tho dairyman's daughter, and 10 mistake.
 We. however, interested him in return by telling him our eow-mtIking story, which. fer tho first tme we concluded to acknowle ledge before the world He swore, after we told him that story, that we were the boy for his money. and. cabnet or no cab itnet. we should bs President again-crim. con- and all other justices of the Peace-coram joram eockolorum.
 We couldn't help thinking that if he had kno ~n how Clayton and the rest of us had cursed the Black Dutch during the campaign, how quick he would have changed his opinion; but as we came in peson to speak for ourselves, were not trOub led with answering any unpleasant questions on those subjects. Had the cabinet been with us, we should have been thick and out" before we began. It was . capital dea of ours to leave the smiabIe fellows at home where spOutsd for ourselves ''a few'' in northern America.
 Molasses candy will melt away In the mouth un- t the last sweet taste is logger perceptble; and the most joyful season will pass away until the shadows out-weigh the sunlight, and hope, like dirty table cloth thrown the dishes ef feast, shuts out the last lock of an anxious gourmand. Our visit at the burough, therefore. like every thing else bat toad's tail hsd an end; and bidding our antimasonic friends goodbye. and qualifying the lime-sto water with little old rye, we departed for ArTisburgh, in one of the funniest kind of je- my-down carts we ever saw. We kept bobbing up and down, and old lady across the way kept bob. ping up and down also, and the more we tried the more we couldn't keep still. The feeling. ss Pro- lessor Palfrsy observed upon another occasion was delightful, but the motion was ridiculous. We

Besides. when you are among the buffalOes, you must De a buffalo. and no mistake. You can therefore tell Mir. Ritchis that he may not bounce down aPOH our srthography; for, by Gods grace and his attacks that Is about the only available cap ital we have left.
 We arrived at Arrisburg pretty we'll churued by
 the bounding motion of the cars. and should doubt leas have had attack of the pure asexia but for bottle of Signor Csrusi's mati-not native medicine, put in pint bottles. and tucked in our pocket by the Signor as we dOdgsd through Cap taia Goddard's legs at the depot, when we got cf."
 Arrisbarg is a venerable old place, with a town clock, windmill, uncovered State house, and a large tavern with a small sign. Iii terrible place for conscience. according to nay friend Thaddeus, and was the scene of the buckshot war, when Pen rose. like xehophou. made his mastsrIy retreat xsnephon going of with his men, and PenrOss gO- iag of with his numbers
 l We visited the State House as soon as we could pull the blue stockings of of our boOt-egs and were there shown the position of affairs on that bloody day,
 "When liberty triamphed and Thad rau away" l Itwss terrible sight. There was the very win dow out of which our venerable Assistant Secreta- " of the Treasary jumped when the infuria,ed crowd. armed so the teeth with buekshot, pursued him like the "wicked fsa'' which VIC read of in the holy pages, and upon a rusty nail hung frag. ment ef thoss old blue brooches which be wore upon that sad occasion, eloquent as the remains of de fanet patriotism and worthless as moth broad 10th.
 While here we were informed by the tavern keep. er's daughter that she had read In one of the Ma. toaal Inleligencsn. which shs used for eur-papcrs an account of acon,emplated invasion of the island of Cuba by soms of thoss uneasy devil. wA. 6.=: settled Texas and made the Rte Grande the bound ary of freedom. and afterwards lifted the rope ana ! carried it to the Pacific ocean.
 Not desiring to take Caba, when 1t will bo oun like ripe pear soon. and considering it against the spirit of the plan which we in cabinet council de. vissd to annex Canada aud Cuba to the Union al the saass time by oar annual message. have writ. tsn to Clayton to publish proclamation against the invasion, and to siga our name to 1t. We ara sat. isfed that the old boy will do Ii right and that he will give to the Ia,sIligenesr to pablish first that paper from the beginning of time being notorious for its love and tender care of orr foreign relations in preference to those of s own country, and lov- ing, as we led to believe, Mexican biosd as well h not better than cur own.
