THE ORGAN ASHAMED OF It's
FRIENDS

Not single Speech Of the orators in the
late Wing Convention is published o.
the Register as it was delivered in that
body. Every one had some fault that the
cruique organ did not like aud each has
been altered, We presume, to suit its ex
quieite taste.
First. the Governor, IN cuiosi2ins the
L" Central Clique'-he seems determined
to stand BY ,ha,-said.
:. If such men 81 the Itaigs of the Centr. had
been found in Soorn at the time IF its visitation,
verify that old Locoioco Town would cot nave
been eestroyed.'
" thc Centre" " The Register, however.
has oecn lit 70 strike out " Locofoco and
,nser, "UieAed.' Now why was this, il
mark In the Speech of its candidate :
From the particular tone aud emphasis
With which the Governor uttered this re.
mark. one would have supposed hin. ex-
actly we'll pleased with it, and that hc
+! thought it peculiarly appropriate. The
Speech had been ~tlttcu uut tefuvc it was
delivered. and this part deliberately ia
serted. WI! the Governur allow the
Register to tamper with his literary pro-
ductions after this sort?
The Speech Of Mr. ;1orehead. the Presi-
dent of the Convention. has also Undergone
1t the hands ut the organ, asgrcat change.
The first sentence Of this Speech, as we
are informed. vas III substance - follows:
Gentlemen, the Kindness of your partiality
and the psriiality of :our kindness, which has
me- to my heart. When sa" the sun rise this
inorning, (nr did see It riae. | had more
thought OF dellberatin& over this body thsHl had
CT any thing else i. the world"
And again In speaking of the Slavery
question, the President alluded to an
oasis in the deser: rising South ofthe Poto-
aaac.'' All this is sticken from his Speech,
as published in the Register, and a new
Speech made In his valedictory, the
President. as we are informed, said
You have been pleased to notice me ia terms
ofkindness, and also my brother, John NJ. More
head, who bore the Wing banner from the sands
on the seashore to the coudclapped' submits
OF the mountains In the " est"
Not one SYLLABLE is mentioned Of this
burst Of cloquence the people are kept
in utter ignorance that any such flight
ever took place. The Register appropri-
ates this style of oratory to itself. and dis.
likes that any one should trench on its de-
partment.
OF Mr. kerr's Speech the organ attempts
no exhibition. and perhaps it was as we'll
both for Mr. Kerr and the public. We
have heard that some prominent Wings
Looked upon it as 4 violent speech, often
siv. bot, to Wings and Democrats. Of
Mr. Miller's we repeat, it is not published
as it was delivered aud no one who
heard the delivered speech. and reads the
printed one, will say that they are one and
the same
Mr. Rhodes opologyfor The ttii,,os Pro-
uiso is also kept in the dark.
The Register will have its hands full, if
it discharges the duties both Of "organ "
of the party and composer OF speeches.
We say again, that paper is ashamed to
publish the speeches as they were delivered
Nv its friends.

circumstance. and determined, if possible,
to ascertain how an ignorant boy had at
tanned precision and knowledge in the
weather. of which the wisest philosopher
would be proud, he rode back, wet as he
was. "My lad, said Newton, "l'Il give
thee guinea if thou wilt tell me how thou
canst foretell the weather 50 truly. -
- Will ye. Sirs will. them" said the
boy, scratching his head. and holding out
his hand for the guinea. Now, SIR

BuIToa-acLEs ON BOTH sIDEs.-A gen
ueman in Charleston, who entertained a
good deal Of company at dinner, had
black fellow as an attendant, who was
native of Africa, and never could be
taught to hand things invariably to the left
hand Of the guests at table. At length,
his master thought of an inialIible Sxpedi-
ent to direct him and as the coats were
then worn in Charleston single e'breusied,
in the present Quaker fashion. he told
Sambo always to hand the plate, &c. to
the bullion hole side. Unfortunately, how
ever. for the poor negro, on the day after
he had received this ingenious lesson,
there was amongst the guests at dinner
foreign gentleman with double breasted
coat, and Sambo was for a while complete
Iy at a stand. He looked first at one side
of the sentIeman's coat, then at the other,
aud finally. quite confounded by the out
iandish make Of the strangers garment, he
cast tlespairing look at his master. and
exclaimed in a loud voice. - Batton-hoies
| at both sides, massa.'' handed the plate
| right over the gentleman's head.

A learned man was writing TO friend

A learned man was writing to friend ;
a troublesome fellow stood beside him,
who was looking over his shoulder at what
he was writing. The former, who per
ceived this. continued writing, in these
words, elf an impertinent chap, who
stands beside me, were not looking at
what write, would relate many other
things to you, which should be known only
to YOU and to me.'' The troublesome fel-
low, who continued reading. now thought
it incumbent upon him to speak, and said
g swear to you, that 1 have not read or
looked at what you are writing The
learned man replied, "Blockhead as you
are, why then do you say to me what you
are now sayings"

JuDGE PErERs-On his entrance into
Philadei phia, General Lafayette was ac-
companed in the barouche by the venerable
Judge Peters. The dust was somewhat
troublesome, and from his advanced age.
&c. the General felt and expressed some
solicitude lest his com panion should ex-
perience Inconvenience from it. To which
he replied: General you do not recollect
that an, Juage-I do not regard the
dust; ! am accustomed to it. The law
yers throw dust in my eyes almost every
day In the Court House.
