The Whigs and the AbOIitiOnists

On the occasion Of the reception Of Pres
ident Fillmore, at Richmond, Va, Mr. Stew
art, Secretary of the Treasury, made a
speech, in which he said:
"Fellow-citizens, Ispeak strong language,
but speak it in all sincerity and truth, and
| have acted upon it oficially-that no man
who is an abolitionist or disunionist can be
a patriot. Applause. Within the broad
sphere of the Office which l hold, and which
numbers among its dependents probably
some 800 public officers, | am happy to in
form you, that to the best of my knowledge
and belief, have not left an abolitionist or
disunionist in Office. = have refused
to retain any man in public service who was
infected even with those principles. Ap-
plause. -
His reason for this is, that they ''cannot
consciously take an oath to support" the
Constitution. Coming as this does from a
memberof the Cabinet, and hsyng been ut
tered in presence of the President, it must
be looked upon as the sentiments of the ad-
ministration. a.-
In alluding to the above the Cincinnati
Enquirer asks, what does Mr.. Stewart mean
by an abolitionist? We suppose that may
be answered by reference to the Wings
whom he has turned out of Office. They
are men who do not go in for sustaining the
compromise and least of all the fugitive slave
law They go in for the repeal of that, and
many of them believe that that clause of the
constitution relating to fugitives from service
is opposed by the Divine law, and should moi
be enforced. Their are other like points in
their creed, not necessary now to mention
Fillmore and his Cabinet are opposed to al
this class, and punish them whenever they
can find one to turn out of Office.

E4- The Indiana Sentinel, in reply to a
whig who had taken an economical fit gives
the following striking exploit in the way Of
retrenchment-about the onlyone the Wings
ever attempted in the federal government
At the extra session of 184l, the wings,
organized committee on retrenchment.-
This committee visited the custom houses in
Philadelphia and New York, eatfne dinners
and drank good wine at the eexpense of Uncle
Sam, and, after a long sitting, they made a
report, reducing the pay of the orphan boys
who acted as pages above the capitol redu-
cling their number, and limiting the mount
of stationary, saying nothing about theirowr
pay or mileage; and finally requiring Jem-
my Maher, the public gardner, instead oI
feeding the grass he cut from the public
grounds to his COW, to advertise and sell it
at public auction. This, Jenny, as an hon
est man, faithfully carried out, and The result
was that the advertisement cost the govern
Iment four dollars, and the hay sold for three
dollars and forty cents. So much for whig
economy and whig retrenchment.

Profane Swearing.

Profane swearing is great sin because it
is a sin against God, and because itso spreads
TO oilers. Il doth eat like a canker. Com
panions and children learn it. The profanc
person has a class of diciplines in constant.
training around him. All experience shows
low easily children pick up the most horrid
oa.hs. Their anxious parents are surprised
to be greeted with protane words by their
children whom they have carefully sought
to guard against i, They have heard it
from some black -hroated wretch in The street
when playing, or going on an errand. IL
has of!en been polluted by some one profane
person. His oaths were repeated in all cor
recMcss even 10 the tone of voice and accom-
panying motion; and when his foul heart in
vented anew one, it was almost as by light
ming spread abroad and stereotyped in many
hearts who could turn off copies of it with
pleasure, Sins ofthe tongue are easily taught
How true it is, as all experience shows in
reference to profaneness, what James says,
"Thc toungue is alittle member and boasteth
great things. Behold how great a matter
little fire kindleth." And the tongue is a
fire, a world of iniquity; so is the tongue a
mong our members, that itdetileth the whole
body, and settcth on fire the course of nature:
and it is set on fire of hell. For every kind
of beasts, and of birds, and of serpents, and
OF things in the sea is tanned, and has been
tanned ofmankind. But the tongue can No
man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly
poison.-La, E,tpress.
Beware of it boys, as you value your life.
Il you would avoid swearing, avoid drink
ing. a boy thatdrinks mostusually swears.
Remember that.

ENORMOUS HEAD-On the 4th inst. we
saw the largest human head we ever beheld.
1t was that of boy aged about two and a
half years, the son Of Mr.. Eli Hurd, residing
near Cumberland Its dimensions, accord
ing to our measurement, were as follows:-
Round the head 274 inches; from top of one
ear across to the top of the other ear, 49, in
ches; from the level of the eyebrow to the oc-
ciput, 90 inches. To get a proper concep-
ton of this head, let these measures be tried
upon the largest craniums that can be found
The boy is able to walk by being supported
a little by the hands. His general health
since his birth has been very good, and he is
rather more intelligent than children of that
age are usually found. He is fond of music,
soon learns tunes, but is greatly put out o.
humor at hearing a tune he does not like

Gen, Scott.

The Wing balloon Convention designated
this gentleman as their choice FOR the Presi-
dency in 1859. and several of the Wing
presses exuldngly raise his name to their
mast head, as a candidate for that honor able
post subject to the decision of the Wing
National convention. To a mere tyro in
politics, this expression might be regarded
as somewhat singular; bat TO those familiar
withthe course pursued by Whiggery it will
be viewed as in strict conformity with whig
profession and whig practice. 1t is true that
the whig party denounced, by every species
of epithet, the Mexican war, and threw eve
nv conceivable obstacle into the way of a
speedyprosecution ofthe war to its close, but
after the termination of that war, nominated
one prominently engaged in it for the Presi-
dency:-it is true, too, that the whig party
in the North denounced slavery, as one o.
the greatest denominations with which the
country is afflicted, and the man who held
slaves as altogether unworthy of their sup
port for any station within the gift of the peo-
pie; and yet they supported man for the
Presidency why held something like three
hundred slaves.
From indications now manifesting them
selves, it seems that the wings are not yet
dome with that "damnable Mexican war .
as they were pleased to term it-thatis, they
have not ceased taking from its prominent
participators, candidates for the Presidency
This Gen. Scott pandercd to The Native
American faction about the time it sprung

James Brooks, Esq, whowas whig mem.
Der of Congress when the Fugitive Slave Bill
was passed, thus speaks of Gen. Scott in his
paper, the New York Express: s'He brough
to bear all the brilliancy of his fame, all the
winning seductions of his social eloquence
all the authority of his mighty name upor
members of Congress, to vote for that espe
cial bill. No one man contributed more t.
its passage than Gen. Winfield Scott" Thi
is corroborated by the Washington Republic

Small Mouth One Husband-Large Two.

Old Gov. L, of Vermont, was one of the most
inveterate jokers Of the early times in which he fig
ured.
An anecdote is told of him. which has never been
related in print and never can be perhaps, with
much effect; but we will try it.
One fall, as he was returning from the Legisla-
ture, on horseback. usual at that day, he
was hailed from house by a garrulous old maid,
who had often annoyed him with questions respect
ing public affairs.
"Wel Governor" said she, coming out towards
the road. what new laws have you passed up at
Montpelier, this time 2"
Well, one rather singular law among the rest, -
he replied.
