Afraid to give the People Light.

1t is fact perfectly manifest TO every
man in the country that The whig party is
striving to get possession of The government

dishonest fits purpose was to t:y great
issue before the country, and TO make its at
tainment OF power contingent upon the pop

why is it that it SO studiously avoids present
ing to the public the principles OF which
General Scott is The repre- sentative and the
champion? General Scott is fully and une-
quivocally committed Upon all the great
questions Of public policy which have here
tofore engaged the attention of the people
II is true that he has had no experience in
civil affairs, and has borne no part in the
great struggles between The two parties; but
a restless itching for notoriety and an exces-
sve garrulous vanity impeled him to a gra.
tuitous proclamation of hi. opinions. His
political opinions were fully disclosed in his
celebrated series Of letters, essays, and cir
culars. He is on record as the advocate Of
the annexation of the British possessions in
North Americans the advocate OF bank
tariff, and of the distribution of the proceeds
of the public lands-as the apologist of the
Infamous bankrupt law Of 1841, by which
the honest creditors of the country were
robbed of their just debs-and Of other con,

to elect their candidate by fair and legitimate
means, why do they no. present him TO the
country as he is? None of the ,chig papers
an the United States haze get published The po-
i,ticaI essays and letters of the ,ohig candidate
They have published his letter reca nting or
explaining his odious native-Amsrican doc

due Of his epistIes? 1t is because they wish
TO deceive and deiraud the people. They
are afraid 10 let the people know who and
what General Scott is. They are afraid 10
reveal his opinions concerning the great
questions of public policy upon which the
people wish to pronounce their Judgment
They are laboring to elect their candidate by
the suppression Of the truth, as we'll as by
the publication of falsehoods. Will the pco-
pie suffer this? Will they not reject and re-

has organized a systematic plans deceive

stupidity they display, and fear lest they

defy them TO do it. They know that they
proclaim opinions and doctrines which the
people o! this country will never sanclion.-

Manufacture of Writing Quills.

These consist usually of feathers plucked
out of the wings of geese. Dutch quills have
been highly esteemed, as the Dutch were the
first who hit upon the art of preparing them
well, by cleaning them both outside and in
side from fatty humor with which they are
naturally impregnated, and which prevents
tine ink from flowing freely along the pen
made by them. The Dutch for long time
employed hot cinders or ashes to attain this
end; and their secret was preserved very
carefully. but il at length Iranspred, and the
process was then improved. bath of very
fine sand must be kept constantly at suitable
temperature, which is about I04 degs Far
enhen; into this the quill end of the feather
must be plunged, and left in n few minutes.
On taking them out they must be strongly
rubbed with piece Of flannel, after winch
they are found 10 be white and transparent.
Both carbonate of potash in solution and d.
luted sulphurc acid have been tried to effect
the snrne end without success The yellow
tint, which gives them the air of age, is pro.
duced by dipping them for little while in
diluted miIriat'c acid, and then making them
perfectly dry. But this process must be pre-
ceeded By the sand bath operation. The
above is the French process. The quils
plucked from wel-ied living birds have the
most elasticity, and are less subject 20 te
moth eaten. The best ure thos. pucked, or
which are spontaneously cast in the month
OF May or June, because they are then fully
ripe. In the goose's wing, the five exterior
feathers only are valuable for writing. The
first is the hardest and roundest OF all, but
the shortest. The next Two are the best of
the five. They are sored into those of 1he
right and the left wing, which are differently
bent. The heaviest quills are, generally
speaking, the best. Lately, sieaming for
four hours has been proposed as a good
preparation.

at village on the western bank. The sailors
were sent to the houses to procure eggs and
fowls, and after time two men appeared

place. They came up slowly, stopped, and
touched the ground, and then laid their hands
On their heads, signifying that they were as
dust before our feet. Archmet paid them the
thirty paras they demanded, and when they

A True Gentleman.

In Mrs. Southworth's new novel, The Dis
carded Daughter, character is portrayed who
is the type of trne gentleman, though few
such exist. Here we have him in his glory at
ball =
Judge Jacky was there in great force-su-
perb in blue velvet coat, white satin vest and
small clothes, with white silk stockings, slip
pers, and diamond studded buckles. His hair
was dressed and powdered, and he danced SO
vigorously, that whenever he moved, little
snow-storm fell in the shape of poudre- blanc
Judge Jacky made it point to dance with ev-
cry lady in the room-he avowed it. But first
he danced t0ice with every ugly girl, old maid,
Portionless widow, and every other doomed
wall-fower at the ball. 1t would have dore
any ones heart good TO have seen Judge Jacky
doing the agreeable to some poor, plain, ne
elected old maid to see how deprecatingIy he
bowed before her, and solicited the felicity OF
her hand for the next diseDgaged set, as if he
was firmly convinced that there had been
general run upon her for the next half dozen
cotillons. 1t would have pleased you to have
seen him lead her out with such proud and
happy air, as if she felt that she had conferred
upon him the greatest bliss that the heart of
man was capable of feeling, and the greatest
honor the brain of man was capable of saneIy
sustaining. And then 10 see him dance with
her, bowling with SO much Difference every
time he took her hand in the turning of the
dance. And then to see him lead her back to
her seat, and bow again, and thank her with
such an air of profound gratitude and respect.
And TO hear him ask her, in a low, insinuating
voice, whether she would take cream, iel-
ly, or glass of wine. or water1 And to see
him move off and bring it 10 her, and stand and
fan her until it was time for the next quadrille
TO form, and then, as it was not etiquette TO
lead ont the same lady twice in succession, to
see him 60 off to where the 5ashful young men
urked abont the doors, take one of them,
whisper, Come, l will introduce you to
most charming woman, carry him up to our
old maid, present him, and leave him there un-
der the necessity of taking her out to dance
And so, having provided her partner, to see
him saunter off in search of some evergreen
widow of sixty, and with deep obeisance, en-
treat the honor of her hand, and listen for her
answer as though life, death and Immortality
hung upon her words! Oh, Judge Jacky -
the young beauties all loved you and laughed
at you, and the old maids and old widows all
voted you perfect gentleman. Oh, Judge
Jacky Wylie-dear Judge Jacky! we know
that you are popular up in heaven, where you
have been gone these many years, but shall we
ever see your like again on earth 2
