A raw, straw hated, sandy whiShered, sx-foot
er-one of the purely uninitiated--came in recent.
ly from Greene, with load of wood for factory
company. Not satisfied with contemplating the
poetry of notion at a safe distance, must needs
introduce himself between the cards, get near
er view. This move brought his ''nether habit
ments" into dangerous proximity to the gearing
of the next card and 'thereby hangs a tale
You, say! she goes poosy, don't she, Boss?''
said Jonathan inqufIn5ly
''She don't do anything else responded the
stripper. But you must be very careful how YOU
move around among this hardware. Tvs only
last week, sir, that promising young man from
Ox.ord-a student III the academy here-was
drawn INTO that very card, sir, and before any as
slstance could reach him, he was run through, and
manufactured into No. Is, super extra, cotton
warp vary"
Il s-S-wow! believe yuer jokin'P' suffered
Jonathan.
Fact, SIR continued Stripper; ''and his dis
consulate mother came down two days ago, and
got five lunches OF that same yarn, as melancholy
relies
''By the poker that can't be truep'
Fact, sir, fact! and each of his fellaw-stEdent>
purchased sken apiece, to be set in lockets, and
wore in remembrance of departed worth p
:'Is that fact, new2 Was he really carded
spun, and set III lockets?''
A sense of personal danger here shooted across
heros mind; he began to retreat precipitately
without waiting for answer. But there was
not much room to spare betwxt himself and the
gearing of the card behind Another step back
wards completed the ceremony of introduction
His unwhisperables being OF large 'calibre,' the
process of suarlng them up into hard knot was
no ways slow. Our hero, gave tongne' IL
stanter.
''O-h! Murderer Let go-you hurt
Blast your pictur! Let go! amt We ashamed! Get
out! Let alone me-Can't We! d-o!''
The gearing by this time had wound him up so,
that he was obliged to stand on tip-toe. His
hands were resolving vigorously behind him. but
he dared not venture them near the ''seat of war "
lest they should be drawn into hostilities.
The card stripper threw of the belt, but the mo-
nentum of the cylinder kept revolving, and our
here supposng in full operation burst out anew:
80, stop her! stop her dol aint well, and l
orter be at home Father wants the steers, and
mothers going to bake! Stop the tarnal masheen,
can't ye? do! Amt We got no feelin' for a eiler
IN distress? O, dear! I'll be carded and spun,
and made in lockets! Je-ru-sa-laml How wish
/ was to Greene!
The cards was stopped at last, but Jonathans
cloathes tangled in the gearing that 1t was
no slight task to extrcate him. and it was only BY
cutting cut the whole OF the invested territory,
that he finally released.
Our hero not caring to resume his "'pursuit OF
nseful knowledge under difficulties - pair of O.
verhauls chartabiy loaned him, and he scat
tered suddenly towards Hill Hill, giving a series
of short kicks with either leg on his way, if to
assure himself that he had brought away his full
Compliment of limbs, from the ''cussed machine. .
WHIa PoLIr1Cs-SYMProMs OF A FAMILY QUAR-
REL.-We have, fer some time, had our suspicious
that when the Northern and Southern wings came
to compare notes, there would be fuss in the fam
lily. We were not mistaken, The Baltimore Il

New York, as laid down by the three committees
at their late at Albany, thus puts in the
scalping knife -
We have no respect for such coalition as the
votemongers of New York have fabricated. l

basis upon which the men that made it can lool
their Southern brethren honestly in the face. II

In such language this does whig paper de

this State We are at loss to account for tn
course of the Baltimore american. The wings O
this State stand pledged in many ways to op
pose the extension of slavery, and to uphold th
freedom of debate, that it was not supposed tina
an assertion of the sentiment could give offence
Be this as 1t may, however, no '.basls" of action
which fails to recognise these principles viii b.
sanctioned by the wings of New York.
Now, this is interesting. 1t touches sore place
What is to be done about it, becomes very impor
tant question. If the Sewood clique of New Yorl
hold their abolition ground and force it upon tn
wing party of the State, at their September con
vention, there will be split; the Southern halfo
the national wing party will dissolve the copartner
ship and refuse to have anything to do with tn
Wing National Convention, if it is to be controlle
by the enemies of the South. From the aboy
specimens, it is very evident that the harmony {
the wing party is, just now, little out ofjoint-
We concur with the Baltimore editor, that the Al
bany protocol wants honesty. We are satisfied
too, that some of the leading wings of New Yor
are of the same opinion. The Syracuse CONVEX

At Syracuse there will be no apology if the 81
