OFyIcE OF THE "PrsssYLvAsIAS."
Philadelphia, Jan. 10, 1850,
have but word to say in reply to the card OF Mr..
b. b. French. which appears in the Union oil Tuesday,
and this only because he has deemed necessary 70 make
use OF my name His candidacy 10 opposition 10 me reg
ula democratic nomination for Clerk fully admitted IN
this card direct knowledge OF this fact induced me TO
speak without of his efforts against that nomina-
ton. Ii is well that Mr. French has regretted the ex
preston that made him candidate against the demo-
cratic but is unfortunate that this regret dd mol
receive publicity until four days alter The election OF
Clerk. "The excitement OF the moment under which
he declared himself in the field against the democratic
candidate, regularly and fairly nominated. extended
through number OF days. and even induced many demo-
Gratis and the entire wing party OF the House. to regard
Mr. French "a boldly and deliberately hos to the
inee OF the democracy II is to be depored that the
avowal made under the excitement oil the momenf.
should have been suffered to stand the dictate OF
sober for several days. and should have been re-
garded justification the part Of several democratic
members TO vote against the regular democratic candiuae
at moment when he was receiving larger vote than any
other.
Mr. French having thus admitted that he was in the
field against the regular democratic candidate, II is hardly
necessary TO state upon what authority spoke OF his
position TO the effect but the fact may serve good
purpose in the future On the 4th instant when the only
serious obstacle to my election was believed TO be the
and when even he said to be disposed to vote with
the democrats to effect choice Mr., b. b, French de-
carsd 70 W. D Wallach. esq Of New York, formerly
New York that he had been badly treated in the dem
ocratc caucus and that he in the field against John
W. Forney" II is unfortunate that this announcement
was allowed stand for week, and to be used in the
House OF Representatives before il was publicly re-
GREETED" the result of the excitement OF the mo-
ment."
This is the only occasion upon which have troubled
you with word relating to the recent contest for Clerk
now address you with extreme reluctance, and simply
because reply to the last card Of Mr. French may
to be necessary, by his illusions to me. repose the
faith of enthusiast in the binding force and salutary
effect Of regular democratic nominations; and would as
soon think of going into the ranks Of my political oppo
nents at to oppose any such nomination, in any
manner whatever. And the only regret that now en-
terrain in regard to the election for Clerk s that il
was effected by an overthrow OF nomination fairly and
honorably made.

4 Song far Mise Jenny Lind.
Fame, Fortune, Raatt, ard yalor eame
Al Glory's spddcn call,
Exuting each in some great aame
From Court. OF Camp, or Hail.
And bright eyed Science too was there,
With titles to renown,
While Wisdom laid with solemn air
Her scroll of worthless down.
'saeard yc the booming cannon's roar'
Was Glory's stern dtmand-
Those loud huzzas from shore to shore,
Those shouts that shake the land
What new born sou now wakes the world
To bid the wclkn sound!
WHY are those banacrs all unfurled,
Those garlands strewed around"
Fame, Fortune, Rank in silence stood,
And yalor's voice was huShrd;
Science looked dowa in sullen mood.
And stole WISDOM blushed.
No houor,d sou OF ftheirs could boast
Ills portion in that day,
Unless to grace tn pageanta host
And swell its proud array.
Nature, with Genius BY her side,
Triumphant looked the while;
Virtue stood forth, with maiden Pride,
Aud Music could but smile;
Nor could soft Charity forbear
To brush her tears away;
When Taste proclaimed their rotary fair,
The idol Of the day.
