what wings Think Of Douglass.


The Washington correspondent Of che New
Bedford Mercury, a staunch whig paper thus
eulogizes The Senator:
"Who then viii Be the Democratic nomi-
nee / confess that after examining the whole
ground have come 10 the conclusion that he
will either be some obscure compromise can
didate some accidental james X. Polk, or else
be viii be Stephen A. Douglas. Senator from
nlinoise. There are many reasons for this
opinion, among which il is enough 70 state that
while all other candidates have very bitter
opponents, Mr.. Douglass, while ho j. not Che
first choice n majority, he isnot obnoxious
70 any section Of The party, perhaps The eK.
trcme free soilers. For my part I am free 70
say that if we must have a democratic Prcsii
dent, / should be quite as wiling that Mr..
Douglass was the man a. any one I have heard
named He comes from the fresh, vigrOus,
gigantic West-he is in the prime Of life and
liberal and enlightened in bis sentiments.--
He is a selfmade man, and well made at that.
lie has had great Legislative experience, and
has displayed craftsmanship Of a very respec-
table order. lie would represent progressive
ideas as well as any other man, and ! think
would be a. much alive a. any Democrat !
know Of 10 the true interests, honor and glory
Of our country. Let Us hope however that
the people win not call for The services Of Mr..
Douglass or any other Democratic candidate
but rather will demand true Whig."
The last Dine comes out very droll after
such culogies Of the democratic Douglass.

Sometime during the past summer, a stran-
ger stopped at one Of the watering places On
the mountain south Of Waynsboro, Pa. Az
ter his arrival there be was taken sick, and
for several days was apparently deranged. On
bis recovery be informed The proprietor Of the
house that during bis illness he had dreamed
for three nights in succession that he had dis.
covered, at certain distance in the mountains
under rock an earthcn crock, containing a
large amount Of silver. At this the worthy
host expressed his surprise and spoke Of il a.
mysterious dream. Afterwards, however,
they we're walking together in that direction.
when the dream was again adyerted 10 BY tho
stranger. and the proprietor az once proposed
an examination, to satisfy their curiosity.
The rock was soon found. and after carefully
brushing the leaves away, il was moved, and
to their utter amazement, there sat crock
full Of silver. They took Il out and conveyed
it secretly 10 the house, aud on examination il
wasfound 10 contain 500. tallin half dollars)
which was divided equally between them.
The day after this discovery, The stranger was
about to take bis leave Of the mountain. and
complained to bis friend The proprietor Of the
springs. Of tho inconvenience Of carrying tho
silver, when an exchange was proposed and
made. the stranger receiving bankable paper
for bis silver Il was not long after his depar-
ture, however, till the proprietor bad made
another discoyery-his four hundred dollars
in silver we're counterfeit and he bad shus
been ingeniously swindlcd out Of two hundred
dollars.

What viii Be the inevitable consequence Of
such lavish expenditures? Are they not cal
culated to disturb the nicely adjusted balance
between the federal and State governments,
upon the preservation Of which depended the
harmony and aficiency Of our system ?
Greedy expectants from the federal treasury
win regard with Indifference, If not with con-
tempt, the governments Of the several States
The doctrine Of State rights will be laughed 20
scorn BY such individuals as an obsolete alb
straction unworthy Of the enlightened spirit
Of the age. The corrupting power Of money
win be folethroughout the length and breadth
Of the land; and the democracy, led On BY
the Hero and Sage Of the Hermitage, will have
in vain put down the Bank Of the United
States If the same fatal influence for which i
was condemned shall bo exerted and fostered
By means drawn from The public treasury.
To be liberal with their own money but
sparing Of that Of the republic was the glory
Of distinguished public servants among the
ancient Romans When this maxim was re-
versed. and the public money was employed
BY artful and ambitious demagogues to secure
their own aggrandizement, genuine liberty
soon expired. L i true that the forms Of the
republic continued fer many years. but the
animating and inspiring soul had fed forever.
/ entertain no serious apprehensions that we
shall ever reach this point, yet we may still
profit BY their example.

A dispatch from Washington says that the

The Susquehanna, Plymouth and Saratoga
are already on the Pacific coast. awaiting the
arrival Of the remainder Of the squadron.
The St. Mary's is now on the way to Japan,
having on board the Japanes sailors, and On
reaching japan will await the arrival Of the
squadron. The residue Of the squadron will
probably get under way in the course Of
April

If this Fillibuaering expedition Of the
conservative Fillmore Administration is de-
signed to teach the japanese christianity,
civilization and good manners. then there has
been a wonderful revolution in the views q
the Cabinet since the denunciation Of piracy,
by Presidential Proclamation, against the late
unfortunate Cuban expeditionists. Indeed
the administration is somewhat in advance Of
Lopez as to the objects contemplated BY the
orders issued to Commodore Perry, if the
above report is to be credited. The English
Opium war is even eclipsed BY the splendor
Of this nascent war Of intervention in Asiatic
affairs, to which the pacific Mr.. Fillmore, and

Though born on Garth and reared in homes that

Buoyed on the wings Of ages as they roll,
II ciings 10 memories twas wont to cherish.
Amidst the glores Of yon radiant skies;
Transplanted thither from It's mortal dwelling,

With tenderest thoughts its faithful breast was

And when thy spirit from the body parts,

Gen. Scott.

Mr. Charles King then an associated editor
Of the Courier q. Enquirer, discovered, just

about the naturalizcd citizen soldiers lie
therefore took the manuscript and interlined
a laudatory paragraph Of the Irish and Ger
