what n Whig Editor thought of Gen.
- scoff before his Nomi n ation.


The" American Telegraph one ofthe
Scott organs in Washington City, thus
gave its opinion of the present Wing can
didate for the Presidency, in June 1851:
ga strong man in war, and wonderful
in all that pertains to the great general I;
quick and bright in intellect, and ready
writer. he is nevertheless in civil matters
the poorest taetieian and the most lndis-
Greet. HIS pride and 0Yistoerdtic feelings
also qUiH Keep him at a distance from he Peo-
ME. On some occasinns he has appeared
10 get over these feelings pretty we'll |;
but then as in most situations in life. Il has
been seen that he was only acting Tor the
sake Of effect on gazing multitudcs, 8
Had these remarks been from a Demo-
terat, what a fuss we should have had
about Locofoco SANDER, and detraction Of
the Wing chief But as they came from
one who Is now kindly working in Scott
traces, the people will be called upon to
give full credit to everything he may now
utter in the way of laudation OF the wing
candidate. They have one setof opinions
before the nomination, and another set at
ter the nomination, as is usually with
Whiggery, not only in regad to men but
also in regard to principles.
In the {" Telegraph . after the nomina,
ton of Scott the editor turns round and
thus elogizes his candidate:
1.-THE writer has seen him Gen. Scott
in various positions-in attention 10 pub
lie business, and in the amenities of Pri-
vate ntercourse-and he never saw
more plain, unaffected straight .to'7cdrd gen
man-never, one more promp in the dis
charge Of his official duties. and yet one
more anriOus to place eUsry one at has case.
If there be no greater objection, when it
comes to be examined, we think that there
will be little left to prevent election to the
Presidency" ve.aj u
In this last article the editor unsays all
that he alledged in the first. and now re-
presents his candidate as altogether a diff
ferent man from what he supposed him
only year ago. What beautiful Wing
consistency What admirable evidence
of facility in changing positions BIS

GT The "Public Servant" is the title
of a sprightly little paper started at New.
burg, by Fl. l.. Fisher, Esq. The editor
has evidently seen some service in his day,
and will we doubt not, render his sheet
quite entertaining, In the number before
us, he gives the following leaf from his
personal history;
Z" AT the age of seventeen our BODY
had SO outgrown our mind, that to hold
ourself became impossible; there remain.
ed, therefore, no alternative but to let
ourself drive, and after various changes in
the position we occupied, and in the
course we were driven, we run high and
dry upon the shores of experience: am,
oitlon became a wreck, and six wears oil
our life were found to be total loss.-.
During this time we had spent two wears
as a sailor, and three years in the regular
army in the Indian Wars of Florida and
Alabama, besides having been ten months
on Whaling voyage in the South AT.
iantlo Ocean. During this time we had
been shot at by Indians, chased by Wolves,
snapped at by Alligators, and thrown in
to the sea by Whales. AS regards the
jumping OFF place we have been so near
the end of THIS world, that every stem
seemed to be our last, and having no foot.
hold upon the next, we expected to oo
down into the lowest pit, but we are now
here, trying to raise respectable sup
scription list for our paper" 'l

MuTILATED BANK NorEs.-Mr. w. H.
Sutton, wine merchant, of Pittsburg, a
few days ago brought suit before Alder.
man Lewis against the Exchange Bank of
that city, 1t appears that the plaintiff
presented FIVE dollar note on that insti-
tuition at the counter, which the officers
refused to redeem, alledgiug that it was
similar to notes which are composed of
portions of four notes, so arranged that
four FIVE dollar notes would appear to
make five FIVE dollar notes. Mr.. Brown,
the teller of the Bank illustrated his idea
by taking four notes to the Alderman's
Office, tearing them up, and so arranging
them as apparently to make FIVE as COM
plete notes as the one offered. The Al
.dernan held over his decision for some
time, but finally decided in favor of the
plaintiff for four dollars, being the amount
previously rendered by the Bank.

A SONG FOR THINKERS.

e. n SONG FOR THINKERS.
Take the spade of perseverance,
Dig the field Of progress wide;
Every rotten root of faction
Hurry out and cast aside;
Every stubborn weed Of error,
Every seed that hurts the soil,
Tares, whose very growth Of terror
Dig them out, whate'er the toll!
Give the stream of education
Broader channel, bolder force;
Hurl the stones of persecution
Out, where'ef they block its course;
Seek for strength in selfexertion;
Work, and still have faith to wait;
Close the crooked gate to fortune;
Make the road to honor straight. :
Meaare agents for the future!
: As they work so ages win
Either harvest or advancement,
Or the product of their sin.
Follow out true cultivation,
f4 Widen education's plan;
From the majesty of nature
Teach the majesty of man!
Take the spade Of perseverance,
" Dig the field of progress wide.
Every bar to true instruction
Garry out and cast aside;
Feed the plant whose fruit is wisdom,
CIense from crime the common sod;
So that from the throne Of Heaven
Il may bear the glance OF God.

"As danseuse she docs not surprise you with any in

be remembered that she popular danseuse before
she otherwise known in Europe in other terms, she

the stage Of the great world Perhaps her success may be
accounted for in those peculiar personal attractions IN
which she excels much in the higher powers oil the

around her perornancesmay have served to moro than
compensate In popular estimation for those artistic excel
in others less gifted in the gaces of person and
