The DemaSoSue.

The following picture of demagogue
is from speech Of the Hon. D. S. Kauf-
man, NJ. c. from Texas, delivered before
literary society in New Jersey:
"He would array the poor in mortal
combat against the rich, and the African
against the Caucasian. He is totally des-
titute of shame and insensible to the opin-
ions Of the world. He would blacken the
purest and most spotless charcter If he
could thereby succeed in his engrossing
desire of self promotion. He is as incon-
sistent and shifting as the vane of the
weathercock, or the winds Of heaven.-
He would sacrifice Justice, right and mer-
cy, constitution, and country, to catch the
popular breeze. He pretends to an aw-
full zeal in behalf of the rights Of those
whose favor he is courting. He claims
precience of events and credit for bring
ing them about. He endeavors to torture
his own acts done for one purpose as
having been done for any other that may
be popular at the hour. He has neither
soul, heart, nor courage. His appetite
grows with what it feeds upon. The
best men and indeed nations, have
been his victims, and yet hi. raven
Gus nav is ever unsatisfied. Like Nero
he laughs when his country is burning.
Like Satan he offers those whom he is
tempting 'all the Kingdoms of the world
and the glory of them He admins
tered the deadly poison to the patri-
OF Phonion, and the fatal hemlock TO
the virtuous Socrates. He is the wooden
horse who enters our city only to destroy
it. He is the horrible monster that will
crush if not watched. Laocoons and their
children, who stand firmly at the altar of
the constitution. Athens fell from his
subtle Vaccinations. He has teen the
bane of all considerations that have ever
existed. He destroyed the eAmphyctionlc
League, inces and the old Swiss Conlede-
racy. He is still SO fatally bent on mis-
chef as to be aiming his envenomed shafts
against our own glorious Union, to which
we are all bound by SO many ties of inter-
est and recollection need hardly say
to you that the hideons being l have been
describing is the Demagogne. Heaven
rid our land of this awful curse! Save
our institutions from this terrible sirooco
this malaria of death! 1t will require
watching and praying to thwart his de-
signs. He will insinuate himself into
ali the existing parties of a country and if
h. thinks he can better effect his object,
he will create party for himself. If a
member of the political party to which
you may attach yourselves, (for political
narties are necessary incidents of free
governments) sacrifice him as freely as If
he belonged to the opposite party. An
honest independent man of the worst po-
Itical party is better than the arch dema-
gogue of the best. If can succeed in
Checking the progress of this monster
and frowning him out Of political existence
we will confer untold blessings upon ou'
country, aud may predict with certainly
that our union will be immortal.

From the Boston Journal.
On the Death of the Pre- sident

Chieftain, farewell! Thy spirit breathes
sweet perfume around us! Wreathes
Immortal cluster round thy head!
Calmly thou sleepest-lke the setting sun
Parting in glory-thy noble race is run
Thou art numbered with the dead!
Statesman, farewell! Far from the battle field,
Where oft VIGOROUSLY thou didst WELD
The sword Of Victory--thou dost lie
Where the sweet waters of the Potomac roll
Echoing lasting requiem to thy soul
Echoing weeping nation's sigh:
Hero, FAREWELL, Sweet shall thy memory be-
Thy virtues lasting as the hallowed tree
OfLebanonl Fair be thy fame!
Christian hero! thy toilsome march is o'er!
A nations gratitude in tears shall pour
Chaplets mournful around thy genial name!
Friend of our glorious country, fare the well!
Long may thy Union-loving spirit dwell
With us in lasting memory dear!
God grant the UNION Nstrength-through time
Unriva1ed may it stand sublime
And glorious ever be its proud career!

son under sentence Of death should be per-
mitted to outweigh the doings Of the Court
and Jury, and rescue him from the con-
sequences which are to follow their pro-
seedlings. 1t is candidly stated by DR.
Putnam in his able argument and by sever
al of the petions presented in,favor of COM
mutation, received since his confession
that, standing as he does, the word of the
prisoner is entitledto no credit.
If the circumstances disclosed on the
trial are relied on to support his statement
the reply is that those circumstances were
urged in his favor before the jury, and
they have decided against him. The facts
of this appalling case are before the world
they will hereafter fill one of the gloomiest
pages in the record Of crime amongs civil
lied men. a:. ...-~ ..-,.-
1t is undisputed, that on the 23d day of
November lS49, John White Webster,
professor in HarVard University, and in
the Medical College in Boston, did at
midday in his room in that College,
within a few feet of the place where hedai-
ly stood and delivered scientific lectures to
large class of young men, with unlawful
violence take the life of DR. George Park
man respectable citizen Of Boston, who
had come to that room at the repeated re-
quests Of the said pisoner; and that after
taking his life, he evserated and in a
manner most shocking to humanity, mu-
tilated the body of his victim, burning parts
Of in furnace, and depositing other
parts of it in different places in the build
ing, where they were found by persons
who were seeking after DR. Parkman that
after killing him, he robbed his lifeless
creditor, by taking from him two notes of
hand, signed by himself, TO which he had
no right, and committed still another crime,
by making false marks upon these notes;
and that jury of his country, empannel-
ed according to law, under the direction
Of four of the five eminent Judges consti-
tuting the Supreme Court of Massachu-
sets, after long, patient, and impartial
trial, and after hearing in his defence the
argument Of learned and eloquent counsel,
upon their oa,hs, found him guilty ofmur-
der. .-..,,
Upon that verdict the Court pronounce
ed the awful sentence Of death. In such
a case there should be obvious and con-
elusive reasons to authorize the pardon
ing power to interpose and arrest the
sword of Justice. do not see the rea-
sons. The combined circumstances OF
the case force me to the conclusion, that
the safety Of the community, the inviola-
j bility oflaw, and the principle of impair.
n tial justice demand execution Of the sen.
Hence.

that it would have given me unspeakabls

"Ma fol General, my wife is mine,

say to the Emperor, Sire, you look TO the

Napoleon laughed and said, MY good
fellow, you are now speaking TO the En-

The word produced its usual magic ef-

held down his head, lowered his voice,
and said, ..-.. a-. ss--zaaa

and when you arrive at Munich, apply 10
the Grand Marechal du Palais, aud he
will present you with four hundred francs.
With that you may buy suffers caravan,
which will enable your wife 10 carry on :.
profitable business. Your son is a fine
boy, and at some future time he shall be
provided for. But mind, never let me
hear of your beating your wife again. II
l do, you shall find that can deal hard
blows as we'll as you.' .~
"Ah, Sire! can never be sufficiently
grateful for your kindness"
Two or three years after this circnm-
stance. The Emperor was with the army
in another campaign. Napoleon, you
know, had wonderful power of recol-
lecting the countenances of persons whom
he has once seen. On one Of his marches
he met and recognized the vivandiere and
her son. He Immediately rode up TO her,
saying: sa
"Well, my good woman, how do you
do? Has your husband kept the proms
ise be made to me?"
The poor woman burst into tears, and
threw herself at the Emperor's feet. @aa
~ "Oh, Sire Oh, Sire! Since my good
star led me into the gracious presence Of
your Majesty, have been the happiest Of
women"
"Then reward me by being the most
virtuous Of wives" A.~
A few pieces of gold were presented
with these words; and, as Napoleon rode
off, the cries of vive rEmperor, uttered
amidst tears and sobs, by the mother and
her son, were enthusiastically repeated by
the whole battalion.
