come 8" Doctor" Is he ssDoctor of Laws"

cine" inquire this person and that person.
Why the fact is, he claims himself to be won
derful "Doctor of Medicine" He prescribed

as he boosted to his friends in Ohio, that his
physic worked to charm. 1t cured the host
of sick clerks in a jify Ought he not there
fore to be forever entitled "Doctor Cor,cin?"
Seriously, we regard the clerks under the
Secretaries Of the Treasury and the Home De-
partments as in very peculiar position-as the
recipients Of all the slurs, and sights, and in
dignities their lordly masters choose to put upon
them. We have known cotton-field negroes to
be treated with decidedly more delicacy and re-
spect Such orders have been issued by these
men as might have been addressed to trifing,
idling, dishonest men, or else proceeded from
arrogant iI-bred, insolent, and overbearing
commanders. Clerks, with wives and children,
may have to endure unbearable things for time,
but the resentment that is deferred is not al
ways forgotten. Besides, to resign is poor
revenge, for clerks often survive the rule of
strutty secretaries, and remember them with
contempt when Invested of their power.

SAGAoITY OF A Doa.-The Baltimore American
of this morning says: about five o'clock on
Sunday morning, as person employed in the
extensive undergrad of Messrs. ]. g. J. Will
iams & Co., corner of Charles and Barre streets,
was engaged in feeding a horse, his attention
was attracted by the strange conduct Of New
foundland dog belonging to Messrs. Williams &
Co., who kept running to and fro, barking in
the most violent manner. At length the person
determined to follow the dog, who conducted
him to pile of lumber which was about igni-
ting from fire that had been kindled against
it. The fortunate discovery, which is altogether
attributable to the sagacity of the dog, doubt
less prevented the destruction Of q large amount
of valuable property in the yard, independent
of the adjacent dwelling-houses."

Temperance Discussion.

On Sunday afternoon we passed the northern
gate Of the Capitol, just as General Savage, Of
the cold-water army, was concluding an address
to miscellaneous group, and to the neighbor-
hood in general As he stepped down, young
man assembled to the speakers place. He too
was called General. He was probably under
thirty, and was favored by his Creator in being
made handsome. If he had pursued virtuous
life, few could equal him. But nature was per-
verified in him. He trembled and tottered, and
showed not only the effects of recent drinking,
but gave every Indication Of having gone through
all the gradations of the drunkard's life, down
to that point at which the drunkard's death
may be daily looked for.
There is an old man in the West who buys up,
at a low price, diseased young negroes, and,
with medicine of his own discovery, cures
them, and then sells them at great profit.
This young man is now not worth FIVE dollars in
any market; but, once cured of drunkenness
and his fondness for drink, he will be worth
thousands. Will nobody take him on specu-
lation?

DUEILING.--A Neapolitan nobleman fought
fourteen duels to prove that Dante was a
greater poet than Ariosto. At his death bed, a
confessor, who was q great admirer Of Ariosto,
desired him to acknowledge the superiority of
this poet. Father" answered the dying no
bleman, "to tell you the truth, never read
either Dante or Ariosto."
We're the causes of many of our modern
duels examined, it would appear that those en-
gagged in them could assign no better reason for
risking their own lives than this Neapolitan
nobleman. - Communicated 10 tie InteILigencer.

Our Prospectus for 1852.

With this number, clio es the present volume
of III, Freemtn; but in announcing new vol.
ume, instead of putting forth formal prospec-
tbs, as seems qiile Customary these days, we
will put what we have to say in the shape Of
familiar talk with our patrons, and all who may
be induced to become so.
When we undertook the sole management of
the Freeman, we made few promises and fewer
boasts OF our ability, expressing onr willingness
TO be judged by the fruit we bore nor do we
now intend TO PROMISE mncl hn' hiving tried our
haud suffi 'ientIv 10 know what we can do, and
having IN The generous support we have received,
aud in the favnlable expressions Of opinion which
have the past year often reached ns from high
sonrces had good reason to believe orr abors
to hive hecn approved and appreciated to a very
illtering extent, VIZ may now venture to speak
lhte more confidently.
We intend, then, in the first place, whatever
political comb nltons may arise to embarrass
our course, and whatever clouds may lower to
chill our hopes and discourage our advance. to
keep the flag Of Freedom flying over our head
and under it, though halter or fago, may stare
us in HE face to raise our voice loud rand more
earnestly than ever, against the nonl iniqultios
and political dangers of slavery, which seem to
us to grow every day more iminent and alarming,
But man does not live by bread alonc;' much
less by p''itcs We shall strive, therefore, to
make our paper valuable for other things. We
intend to keep fully up with the news of the day
both foreign and domestic, and so avail olrself
of our general reading, and the ample stock Of
the best periodicals in the world, with which we
haya supplied oursclf for the purpose, as to make
notony for the politician, but for the general rea
der, and for the family newspaper which shall
be second to none N New England. And it is
with these intentions, and under these adyan
lagos, that we respectfully solicit additional pat
