Laughable Simplicity.
At Nauvo, Illinois, there is a soci-
ETY. of French, called lcarians, organ
lied on New system Of labor and
social communion, which has for its
organ a paper called the Popular
Tribune" This paper, in a late num-
Der, publishes the Democratic cree d,
as a summed up by Mr.. Jefferson,
and then, to show its fairness, says it
will publish the wing creed also il
some one will furnish it. This we
call the most laughable piece of SIM
plicity ever yet perpetrateds even by
d communist" Frenchman. Who
ever heard of the wings having a
standing creed, except opposition to
the Democracy. True, they some
times erect platform, but much Of

And what is most singular, is that
whenever they have a "creed" or
platform, and fight and succeed with
it, they are totally oblivious of the

show you a STRAIGHTFORWARD African,

"change has come over the spirit of

upon putting, for the third time, a
"mere military chieftain" in the White
House. But the most curious part
Of the whole business, is the different
phrases this word whiggery wears in
different localities. As the st. Louis
Times justly observes, in the North it
advocates high protective tariff, i'm the
middle States moderate one; andthe
south one forreyenue only. In the North
it maintains the power of the general
government to construct roads and
canals, and in the south it repudiates
it. In the North it denies the consti-
tutional power of Congress to acquire
territory, and in the South it main
tains it. In the North it adopts, with
out scruple, the tenets of the tree-soil-
ers, if by so doing it can secure free
soil votes, and in the South it denies
all utilization with them, and swears,

AWFUL. Three hundred and twen-
ty-one children died in one week, i'm
New York, under five years of age
mostly under one year. The New
York Herald says, that nine-tenths
of these children were murdered by
the manufactured milk furnished
from the cows kept in the upper part
of the city, on distilery returns, or
grain which had been used in distil-
ing. Why don't the city authorities
suppress those abominable manufac-
tories of disease and death. The
COWS used soon die, but continue to
give milk, as tits called, till they fall
down and die, covered with sores
and abscesses disgusting to the SEN
SEES.
SERVED THEM RIcHr.-1'he Boston
Traveller states that an Englishman
named Lewis has been duping the
Bostonians lately, by claiming to be
an English lord, getting into the good
graces of the aristocracy, purchasing
clothing, &C., and finally leaving
without paying his bills, amounting
in all to about 800. Served them
