The INFAMOUS BARGAIN. For several days there
have been rumors that Hale. Chase & Co., had sold

the facts in the case. Those facts we now have,
though not at liberty to the names of the
parties who have betrayed the secrets but the bar
gain has been made, and Hale is working to transfer
whatever strength there may be among the abolition
lists and free soiers who nominated him, to Seward
and Scott. But the Democracy need not be in the
least alarmed at this bargain for although Hale can
sell himself and few demagogues like himself. yet
many of those who would vote for him men of
some principle, and all such will be disguised with
the insncety of their leader, and disguised with the
knaves who have bought him. And if they not.
if he could succeed in carrying over, (Which he

We accepted the kind invitation extended
to us by the young ladies of the village, and
whiled away couple of hours very plea
antly at the Catawba House on Friday even

thither was Ball, gotten up by the young
ladies, to which the young gentlemen were
invited. Now, we do not place ourself in
the category of"young gentlemen, "and there
fore arc we so particular to acknowledge the
courtesy extended to us. How it rained. 1t
poured in torrents; but this did not prevent
the ladies and gentlemen from enjoying them
selves. Our friend. DR.. Mobley, initiated us

where We found an abundance of good
things, and ofwhich we freely partook. The
dancing was kept up until n late hour, and
everything passed off pleasantly and hnr-
moniously.

Matters and Things in General

How very frequently is it the case that
"one mans business is every body's busi-
ness" This we see illustrated every day.
1t Is really pity that some men could not
be always enjoying Natures sweet restorer,
balmy sleep" or else that the wants of the
physical man could not be continually under
going the process OF being satisfied; for, in
the event of the first circumstance, his
tongue would be still, and in TIE event of
the second, his tongue would not have time
to be uttering such base, foul, and calumin-
ating abuse, as is frequently heard against
men who are quiet citizens, and who attend
to their own business.
There are characters-(and we trust when
they read this, they will wear the cap which
fits them so welD-we say there are charac-
ters whose delight cor sists in 'teling tales"
tutoring foul abuse, Billingsgate slander,
against others, when it is none of their bust
ness; and at the same time they are uttering
low, dcbased, miserable falsehoods But
there are other characters, who, under the
garb of respectdbiiity and "goOd feeling" are
equally corrupt, debased and wortl less. We
allude to those who, pretending to be doing
work of friendship, are advising your
friends, and also your enemies, to do this and
do that. "John Smith. tell you, won't do.
He will involve you in difficulty. Take my
advice, and don't you loan him money.
tell you ms friend; but don't ever intimate
to John that told you So" Are we hard
on human nature? Is it not so! Is it not
as we have said And because it is the
way of the world shall we not speak oft!
In the image of his Maker was man
made. He was put here to be the lord of
creation. Not one of Gods creatures was
stipulated as being sufficient to supply his
daily wants, but two, three, or n dozen. Pos
sessing all things, he has unlimited control
over all things. But arbitrary rs his con-
duct may appear in his disposition to sacri-
fee Gods creatures for his daily sustcnance,
still in juxtapostion with this, >thc sweet
voice of our Father says, Love thy neigh
Dor as thysolf"
Oh! the deep, designing hypocracy of
men. Under the garb, an exterior covering
of godlness and christian virtue, what is
their conduct! Abuse, calumny, and all the
odious and abominable invectives of the
hcart-a heart protesting to follow that di-
vine injunction of God-all, we say, show
cred upon an unoffending fellow man, to
advance their pccuniary interest or individual
prosperity.
We write this because we see it illustrated
day by day, and we do hope men piH think
more seriously of their own business, and
let the business of others alone. So mote

eW- The New York Times gives the
following letter from Mr. Talmadge, in rela-
ton to Mr. Webster:
To the Editor Of the New York Daily
Times:
have seen, with not little surprise,
an extract from Boston paper, declaring
that the representation Of conversation
between Mr.. Webster and myself relating
tC the presidential candidate, contained
in your paper, was without foundation.
On the day previous to the reception Of
Mr., Webster in Boston, called on him
at the Astor House, when expressed the
regret that then entertained and now most
deeply feel, that could not meet him
under different circumstances.
Some other conversation occurred be-
tween us in regard to the political aspects
ofthe country, which it is not necessary
10 state.
In the course Of our conversation, sta
ted to Mr.. Webster that his friends were
embarrassed in regard to his position,
but tht supposed that we had no alterna-
tive but to sustain the nomination that
was made by the Baltimore Convention,
as different course might endanger the
harmony Of the Wing Party and its
ultimate success; to which Mr.. Webster
responded, that the Wing Party should
sustain the nomination made by the Con-
rention.
At the meeting alluded to in your pa
per, | certainly did not, in the few remarks
that l made, mean to convey the idea that
Mr.. Webster would cordially sustain the
nomination, for knew that he would not;
but that, as matter of principle, he and
every good whig would sustain nominee
who would carry out those principles
that the Wings had long contended for,
and the adoption of which would best
promote the great interests of the country.
At the meeting in the Ninth Ward
probably spoke of Mr.. w. as a statesman,
entirely divested of those selfish feelings
which sometimes characterize a man Of
less enlarged capacity, and who is actua-
ted by considerations Of a mere personal
character: and that however elevated
might be his claims to the most exalted
position within our gift, all would be sacri-
feed on the alter of patriotism, and devo-
ton TO the interests of his country. In
this characteristic Of Mr.. Webster can
not I've deceived, and the nomination by
the Native Americans, nor the orations at
Boston, cannot and will not, l am conf
dent, for one moment shake his determ
ination to stand by the principles of party
of which he has been so long the honored
leader, or induce him to adopt course
that will engender the unkindest feelings
of that party fwhose principles and policy
he has been the ablest advocate.

ALLEGED SwNDLNG OpERATIoN-Many
citizens of Burlington, New Jersey, during
the past few months, have been swindled
out of thousands of dollars by person who
arrived from Europe a short time since, and
located himself in that place. He purchased
beautiful residence, furnished it in style
OF great elegance, bought a splendid span of
horses and a carriage, and Jared sumptu-
ously" every day-at the expense, it is now
alleged, of the leading citizens of the place,
from whom he borrowed large sums of mo-
ney, giving his notes, and renewing them
when they became due. Several Philadel.
Phia merchants, it is said, also suffer by him.
He has been arrested.

Amid the passing away OF hope and
strength and all that made the morning
of life most lovely and grateful is it to find
one sure abiding pillow on which to lean.
Friends love and cherish us, but they are
frail as We; the glory of health in which
we trusted becomes dim, the habitations
we have reared, trembling beneath times
passing hand, and we have no hold on
anything on the wide earth. Beneath
our feet lie the generations that have
passed away and we know that they as
pired and loved as we do, and that we
like them, must be gathered into the con-
gregation of the dead. The seasons come
and 90, themselves renewed in eternal
beauty, but writing on our foreheads the
doom Of decay. There are moments
when these thoughts are not to be dis
PEELED, nor should the heart desire it but
rather seek amid these fading visions
for the pearl of price, the treasures that
cannot be wasted.
There is something real and substantial
offered us amid the "phantoms that elude
our grasp" 1t is trust in God, faith in
his Son, and obedience to his will. He
who is possessed of the peace that passeth
understanding knows that no storm can
hide from his vision the celestial light;
amid changing sea, his feet rest firmly,
upon theRock of Ages; and when his friends
depart, he has the assurance of an un-
changing Friend, whose hands will guide
him through life and over the yawning
chasm of death. "As the heart panttth
after the water brooks, so panteth my
soul after the Q God :" and this must be
the language of the true soul that would
find solace and strength where alone are
their true source.
After hours of wearness the servants of
Isaac exclaimed, eve have found water :"
o, how the happy man who, amid tribu-
lation and tempted by despair, can raise
his heart heavenward and declare, 81 have
found Godw
