Eg Avery silly, dirty mean, filthy, and eyre
giOus article appeared in the last Democrat which
must have been tremendous effort of the writer,
whoever he may be. 1t has been suggested 10 US,
that the York township man may have written it;
bat, be that it may, we have doubt the editor,
who is now at Columbus, as Delegate to the Lo-
cofoco Convention which convened on the 9Th inst,
will amply appologse for the appearance of so ri
ciculous pettifogging article in his paper We
shall preserve it. and when we cannot obtain patent
medicine advertisements enough to ELL our columns,
will give it an insertion for the amusement of
our readers. We give the opening paragraph now
"What American citizen is there in the civilized
world wherever he may be, who can with pride
say am an American citizen" when he con-
templates the course of the Taylor Administration
from its organization-its ridiculous proffer of
aid in the Sir John Franklin case-and the ap-
pointing and hasty dispatching of charge to the
outlawed Court of Austria--down to the present
time''

NATURALIzArIoN OF THE HUNGARIANs.-Ye ester
day morning Count Ujhazi, late Governor of Co
morn, attended by his family, Mdlle. Jagelli, and
fourteen of the Hugarian immigrants, took the ini-
tial oath of their intentions to become citizens of
the United States. The party were attended by
their interpreter, DR. Torrasher. and through him
addressed the county clerk and declared that they
could not do a better act to close the year with,
than by takiug the oath of allegiance to the people
and Government of the United States who had
received them with such unbouBded hospitality.

Higher.

A noble motto for a young tnan--higher. Ney.
er look down Aim high-push high-leap high.
If you cannot reach the stars you can have the
satisfaction of drawing near them. He who stands
on an elevated position, is sure to catch the first
rays of the glorious sun So he who is always step
ping UP and reaching up viii first catch the avors
and blessings of Herven as they descend There
is no object which we gaze that gives us so much
pleasure as the upward and continued progress IN
moral culture and robust virtue of enterprising
young men. When chains of sloth are broken, the
vision is cear-the heart buoyant, and the affec-
tions and purposes strong. higher and still higher
objects will be gained, nobler purposes be achieved.
and sublime elevation attained that viii thrill
with joy future generations, as they march on in
the same glorious path.

The picture Of Washington.

The Hungarian exiles, on a visit last Friday to
Brooklyn stopped to visit the Mayor at the City
Hail. After an interchange of some remarks be-
tween themselves and Mr.. COPELAND, they were taken
into the common council chamber, where Ujbazi
and his friends particularly struck by spen-
did portrait of General Washington, which adorn-
ed the upper end of the chamber Governor III
hazi stood before it, and, with the whole party
around him, his lady on one arm, and his daughter
Claraleaning on the other for some time continued
profound emotion. At length he hroke out, and
gave vent to his feelings, speaking in the German
language--the very language of impassioned feel
ing. "Washngtoni Washington! The father of
his country! Children, see you there Whashing-
ton! Him whose memory we honor in Hungary
-of whom, at home, we have heard and spoken
so much! Yes, we must we WILL make a
pilgrimage to his grave, to dohonor tohis memory. =.

at this scene and the tear of sympathy and emotion

lowing in relation to Gen. Taylor and the Proviso
"Some Southern men, the other day, p1umply
asked him if he would veto the Wilmot Proviso in

otherwise depended upon his answer He said

The True Life.

The mere lapse of years is not life. To eat and
drink, and sleep; to be exposed to darkness and
light; to pace around in the mill of habit and turn
the wheel of health; to make reason our book
keeper and turn thought into an implement of trade
this is not life. In all this but poor fraction Of
the consciousness of humanity is awakened; and
the sanctties still slumber which make it most
worth while to be- Knowledge, TRUTH love, beeu-
ty goodness and faith alone give vitality to the
mechanism of existence; the laugh of mirth, which
vibrates through the heart the dry wastes within,
the music that brings childhood back, the prayer
that calls future near, the doubt that makes US
mediate the death that startles us with mystery,
the hardship that forces us to struggle, the anxiety
that ends in trust-are the true nourishment Of
our natural being.

BuRN1NG OF THE CAPITOL OF ALABAMA-From
the Montgomery Advertiser and Gazette we leaau
that the State Capitol in that city was consumed
by fire the I4th inst, and hought is left of that
once beautiful building but the erumbling walls
Every possible provision was to be immediately
made for the convenience of the Legislature and
the state officers. as
The clerks of the two houses saved all their pa
pers and the archives of the state in the offices of
the Governor, Secretary of state, Treasurer and
Comptroller, were also saved. Most of the furni-
ture. and the larger portion of the different libraries
were likewise preserved from the flames, SO that
the great loss is the building.

The confscated H hungarian estates cannot be sold

the richest land in Hungary composing these es-
tates have been offered for sale by the Emperor, at
the price of one forin-half dollar-per acre
But even at this price purchasers are not to be

months since an incident occurred in our city unatc
Hospital of a very peculiar character A mother
and daughter both became inmates, and were
placed in the same story of the building, where
they had access to the same hall They met, and
recognized each other, though one had left the
other years ago in Ireland. Both had crossed the
ocean, become residents here and lostall knowled>
ge of the others history or fate both became be-
port, and in mad house, surrounded by those
who were hopelessly insane, the child and parent,
met and though reason was dethroned, and each
was there with srnind diseased, yet nature
triumphed over the cIouded intellect, for brief
moment theparties talked of the land of their BIRTH
and when they had separated from each other
This incident is of romantic interest sufficient to
suit the most anxious inquirer after extraord.
