Old Hunker.

John Bigger Sttt, Esq. Editor of the Wayne Coun-
ty Whig' calls the editor an old Hunker. That
name had its origin in New York. and was applied
term Of derision TO the Democrats who voted for
Cass aud Bner by those who sustained the nominees
Of the Buffalo Abolition Convention In this sense
we admit the justice of the appellation We are an
old Hunker, and have always been one. In 1924, we
were not old enough To vote, but for boy talked
loud for Jackson. In 1923 we gave first vote to
him. In 1892 voted for him again. In 1886 and
1910 for Van Buren, (not because we liked the
man, but we liked the principles he then proessed.)
In 1874 were for James X Polk, and IS4S for
Cass-always for the candidate of our party and al
for The regular nominees, the Democratic candi-
dates, whether 50 by nomination by common con-
sent of the purity. In politics have always wor-
shipped at the same shrine. We therefore glory in
the name of Old Hunker which but another word for
political consistency. Having told you what we are,
now wish To ask you, John, whether you are an
Old Hunker Wing or a Galphin Whig! Whether
you are for the glorious old "Harry of the Vest"
that same old coon you used to shout loud for or
are you for Old Zack and his Galphin Cabinet Take
advice, my young frend stand by your old friends
and your old principles. The Galphins are in the
Treasury. TLey are dividing out the peoples money
with liberal hand. But. John, you can't get any.
They commence with the cabinet officers. They first
help themselves and then descend in regular grada-
ion, and long before they get down to you tie box
will be empty.

INDIANAPOLIS. JUNE %. 1850.

We nOtiee that the Indiana Journal contains another
article in relation to Gov Wright andths pardoning
power by the celebrated Jsfitia, alias noisy Doctor
in Jacksonville. who loves fight and controversy
and if he cannot have a fuss about one thing he will
another. Ii seems that he is very desirous Of having
the Governor obey him in the discharge of the
pardoning power.
Ii Is pity that such publications are made BY
who either do not know the facts if they do. de-
sguedly and falsely withhold them. We presume
Jusiitia knew, when he wrote that article for the
journal. that bUi the associate Judges sheriff clerk,
and hundreds Of The good citizens of Clark county
had united in petition for the commuiation Of the
sentence against Gross and Gates.
Bot his allusion to Gov. Wright granting respite
in the of Gross is of such character. that all
honorable men should hereafter eschew him, as they
would a serpent.

maes exists in the county Of Clark. that are clamor-
ing for the blood of one of their fellow citizens.
We are not aware Of the evidence that Gov. Wright
had before him in committing the punishment of Gates,
the young man, from death to that of imprisonment
for life; but there why youth of only
twenty years should not be hung for any offence,
when there of full age, judgment and discre-
ton, engaged in leading and managing the desperate
contest. We say. punish the leader and the man of
ripper years. but to the youth, under the influence Of
the elder it would be acting in mercy to give an op-
portunity to reform in this world; shut him out from
society," and what days and years will do for his
youthful mind.

Texas.

We have received the Austin Crexas) State Ga

plan of compromise, now before the Senate says:

reference the great ends sought 10 be attained by

millions would enable the State TO discharge her

however iesirous she may be TO extrcate herself from
debt aud however ready to submit to great sacrifices

terly unwilling take the whole burhen upon herself

S0ng---A Lesson in itself Sublime

S0ng---A Lesson i'm itself Sublime
BY MRS. SARAH 7. BOLTON.
A lesson in itself sublime,
lesson worth enshrining,
Is this: "I take no note OF lime
Save when the is shining"
These motto-words dial bore,
And wisdom never breaches
To human hearts better lore
Than this short sentence teaches
As life L. sometimes bright and fair,
Aud sometimes dark and lonely,
Let US forget its pain and care,
And note its bright hours only.
There i. no grove on Earth's broad chart
But has some bird 10 cheer IL,
So hope sings on in every heart,
Although may not hear IL:
And il to-day the heavy wing
OF sorrow is expressing,
Perchance Tomorrow sun will bring
The weary heart blessing:
For life is sometimes bright and fair,
And sometimes dark and lonely,
Then let's forget lis toll and care,
And note its bright hours only.
We bid the joyous moments haste,
And then forget their glitter;
We take the cup Of life and taste
No portion but the bitter;
But we should teach our hearts 10 deem
Its sweetest drops the strongest;
And pleasant hours should ever seem
To linger round us longest:
As Ifs is sometimes bright and fair,
And sometimes dark and lonely,
Let ms forget it's toll and care,
And note i fright hours only.
The darkest shads as of the night
Are Just before The morning,
Then let US wait the coming light,
All bodIng phanfoms scorniug:
And while we're passing on the Tide
OF Times fast ebbing river,
Let's pluck the blossoms by its side
And bless the Gracious GIvER:
As life is sometimes bright aud fair,
And sometimes dark and lonely,
We should forget its pain and care,
And note its bright hours only.

A postscript to the letter Of the Washington cor
respondent of the Louisville Courier of the 18th inst
says:
| Just learned that dispatches were received to-day
from Mr.. Campbell, the u. S. Cansul at Havana,
communicating to the Secretary of State the decision
of the Spanish authorities, REFUSING 10 surrender the
p-isoners taken from the Island Of ConiOy, and from
the two vessels en- route f1r Chagres. This places
entirely new aspect upon affairs and in my jndg-
ment, renders war with Spain almost ineviiase
instructions we're forwarded to-day by MIR. Clayton
to our Consul at Havana to make Peremptory de-
mand for the prisoners, and 10 inform the Cuban
thorities that unless that demand is nstantaDeousy
respected sour Government will take measures 10 res
cue the captves at all hazards.

A GALPHrN's ExcUsE.-rhe Journal makes out the
Galphin robbery BY old Zachs advisers all right, be-
cause the editor of the Washington Union refused to
receive more than Sl2 200u on bill Of S3s 900 for
printing! And even this latter the Journal tells
us was NOT sustained 5y single democratic Senator!
The Gaphin claim was S43,00O and was paid by
Secretary Walker. The Wings came into power.
and instead of reducing the amount as the Union did
the printing account, they took out of the Treasury
and put into their olca pockets, 100000 more!
How the Journal makes one prove the other is a
puzze If this is the best the Galphin robbers can
do to mitigate public odium, they had better do as
Judas (the first of the Galphin tribe) did--go and
ha NO themselves Ohio SLaLesman.
