Wing Prostitution.

Inc administration papers are in great ecsta-
cies at Mr.. Truman Smiths speech upon Brad.
burys resolutions Of enquiry, believing, as they
seem to believe, that the latter has been demol-
ished by the statistics ofthe former They make
comparison between the number of whips and
democrats in Office at Washington, at the close
OF the late administration and the present time,
and concluded, that because majority of Demo-
Gratis were in Office at the close of Mr. Folks
administration, the Democratic party is a party
prescription. 49, -.G
Now, this was not the question raised by Mr.
Bradbury's resolutions. The question was,
whether Gen. Taylor had told the truth, or had
told lie. Whether he had kept the pledges he
made the American people, that he would remove
no man from Office on account of his political
opinions Mr.. Polk had made no such profes-
sions. and cannot therefore be put upon trial
of comparison with the present administration
Mr.. Bradbury arraigns the present administra-
ton before the confirming power, and instead of
meeting their accusers by facts, they thrust Mr..
Folks administration between themselves and
the peoples vengeance. What ri ght have wings
to invoke democratic precedents? If the admin
istraton has been inconsistent and false, let them
now meet with that punishment which falsehood
and duplicity justly merit.
CHoLERA.-This disease has again made its
appearance at New Orleans, where many per-
sons have been already snatched from the stage
of existence by its malignant grasp.
The st. Louis papers are calling loudly for
means of preventing its strides to that citp; and
we can do no less than sound the alarm of PRE-
CAUTION before it reaches our thresholds. Last
year, precaution saved us many valuable lives,
and the same means, resorted to in good season,
may spare as many more. Our southern neigh
bors are vainly endeavoring to conceal the true
state of things from the world; but the cholera is
there, and no mistake, as the records of Deaths
doing can well testify. Such beng the case,
we say to ALL set your house in order, so that if
the disease should come, you may be ready to
meet it, and defy its devastating propensities.
ALBANY DUrcHmAN.-We have received the
first number Of the enlarged "Dutchman," pub
lished at Albany, N Y. For genuine drollery
and tun-provoking sentiment, the Dutchman is
unrivalled, upon our list. 1t steals more of our
time, and adds more to the qualification of our
risables, than all our contemporaries combined
The new type is not to our taste; it is too much
in contrast with the thoughts and ideas so vivid
ly and humorously typi6cd in the Dutchman.-
The type was made for the spectacle-eyed age
which cannot appreciate the joke and frolic of
the Dutchman's juvenile style. Give us the
type that suits the style, Messrs. Publishers.
A REMlNIsc ENcE.-After reading Mr.. Web
ster's speech, says the Boston Post, and prepar-
ing to follow him as the whg leaders of 1S4S
now are, will they not be ashamed to look an
honest Democrat in the face who fought the can
vass of l548 manfully on the Cass doctrine of
non-intervention, which the Wings declared
was treason against liberty, but which they now
steal, as if it were their own thunder, and pro-
