Pride and Poverty.

With all the apparent splendor of the society
Of our eastern cities, large proportion of it, is
extremely shadowy and but the splendor of
highly cultivated poverty. Especially will this
apply to New York and Boston, where the ma
ority of the middle class, ape the extravagances
of the higher class, with barely the means to
obtain the dress without taking thought of the
cravings of the stomach or the quiet pleasures
of the mind.
Their ambition is snowy dress, fashionable
street, dwelling at 81 800 or $4,000 year
rent and the paror furnished extravaglntly; /;
while the upper and lower apartments present
here and there a skeleton chair, or table, the
wardrobe, musty and miserly collection OF an
tiquated rags and the larder an appearance
as lean and bony as an Indians dog. Such
is the condition of a large portion of N
York and Boston society, who might ex
change their situation for af1luence in the
c. uatry, but who seem TO adhere to these
famous cities, with the tenacity Of immovable
fixtures. Poverty in cellar and pride in a gar
ret, with bone to pick and crust to soak, and
splendid exterior stuffed with rags, seems to
command the highest admiration from this
CONT ination Of weak heads and cold hearts.

Parson Brownlow, the editor ofthe Knoxville
(Tenn.) Wing, violently opposes the nomina-
ton of Scott d Jones for the office, for which
they are proposed. In late No. OF his paper,
he thus defines his position
"Varous little country papers are enquirng
what we mean by opposing Scott Il Jones p
And again, they ask if we expect the whig par
ty to consult our wishes, in the selection of can
dldates Oar opposition to the pretentions of
Scott & Jones, "hath this extent no more.''-
]. We have no confidence in their abilities to
administer the affairs of Government. 2. We
have no confidence in their integrity. 3. We
live in free country, where all have the right
of preference, and American citizens, we
choose to exercise that right. a. We believe
both the men named in this article, to be unmit
iga,ed political pirates figuring semi-occasion-
ally, as Southern men, and Northern men, un-
der different aliases, as the factions may de-
mand, North and, for and against the Compro
mise, but out and out opposed to Intervention,
ct cetera, ct cetera, &C.
Had democratic print said as much the coun.
try would have rung with the indignant remon-
strances ofthe Federal press; but as Brownlow
Is zone OF EN-, we must take the above as an
evidence of the harmoniousness of harmonious
Whiggery, and when Scott is really nominated,
('f that calamity should happen) we must
forget it has ever been said Galena Jeterso-
aidn.
The Parson talks like a man and a patriot
The calamity which our neighbor speaks of
will attach to the Wing party and not the coun-
try; for the nomination of Scott, is as surely
the defeat of the whig party in the approaching
contest and its permanent overthrow in the
South, as the sun rises and sets.
We desire no easier victory, than the nomina-
ton of the jealous and conceied chieitain of
CUP notoriety. If there is one man in the U.
States, more vain than all the rest, we honestly
believe Gen. Scott to be that man: and if there
is one, more crazy than all the rest, for the Office
of President, he is that man.
Not but what we honor the military genius
and courage of the man, who has gallantly dis
tinguished himself in two bloody wars and
feel pride in the reflection that he is our coun-
tryman and his deeds embelIish the pages Of
our brief, but brilliant history, yet we cannot
overlook entirely his weaknesses, when present
ed for the high and commanding civil position
t, which he aspires and for which he seems
willing to be the candidate Of an unworthy fac
ton

we take from an exchange displays very forci-

There was time when concealment could
be INDUCED with impunity, but that time has
gone by. The Wing party must present its

public trust, must take their positions and hold
themselves in readiness to answer any questions
which may be propounded, affecting tine inter
