CHEATING PR1NrrRs.-We receive an
invitation almost every day from some fell
low who claims 10 be an ADVERTISING agent,
toinsert somebody's advertisements, and he
will pay for it. We have been "wooled' -,
on several occasions by these sharpers, and
we caution the country press against the
rascals. V. b. Palmer is the only agent
for the press that we ever had any TRANSACT
tons with who pays promptly and acts hon
orably. We recommend him to the profess
sion.- Albany Knickerbocker.
This notable v B. Palmer is the only
agent of the press ,Ue ever had any transac-
tions with who acts dishonorably by refus-
ing to pay just demand. For several
years he has owed us some $50 for adver-
Using, and although quite fruitful of promi-
SEES 10 pay has shown himself poor in per-
Torrance. Our demand is now in the hands
of an attorney in Philadelphia with proper
instructions Missouri Statesman.
We have the same complaint to make
against Mr.. V. b. Palmer, and shall soon
pursue the course of the Statesman, if our
accounts are not adjusted. Some of them
have been standing four or five years, not
withstanding repeated efforts to have them
settled.

MYSTERIOUS DIscovERY.-As Mr.. Cald-
well and other workmen were recently la
boring on the hill near town, in clearing up
a thicket, they came across an infant deposit
ted in cigar box, and buried a little depth
in the ground. 1t was white child, pre-
mature birth apparently, wrapped in cloth,
and may have been in the ground several
weeks. They covered the box up again;
and we have heard no conjectures in .solu-
ton of this chapter in frailty or crime

Mr.. GREEN:-Business has been very
brisk at this place for some time past
Hundreds of Californian emigrants are daily
arriving here, and within the past few days
they are leaving as rapidly for their desti-

ton is from the North Western States
Many go out with the intention of making
short sojourn only in the land Of Gold;
hopingto make their pile IN few days or
months, then come home and revel in
wealth and luxury the rest of their lives
Others are bona fde emigrants, going out
with the purpose Of making home for them
selves ON the shores of the Pacifc--taking
their wives and children, and their all with
them. OF the latter class many are bound
for Oregon.
The streets are crowded from morning &c
night with men, oxen, mules, horses ant

How not to act Elected to CONGRESS.

"The Bull aud the Ass we're once candi-
dates for Congress. TIE animals of the
constituency beng an assembled on election
day, the Bull mounted the stump and thus
addressed them:
"Honored cattle, hogs, sheep, geese, tur-
keys, and ducks, ask your suffrags be-
cause, | believe can serve the public bet
ter than any of the rest Of you. Congress
as you all know, has become mighty hard
congregation. Colonel Wolf and Judge
Fox, Captain Panther and old Governor
Grizzly, are elected members of the next
House, and unless you elect somebody that
can't be bullied down, your interests will
suffer. Friend Horse, here, is a good SEN
sible beast, but he has no talent for public
bodies. He declines the nomination in nv
favor. As for the rest of you, there is not
one who is fit for the post. You sheep are
towards; you hogs are stupid and pig-head-
ed; you turkeys, geese and ducks, are but
little better than idiots, and would die out
right if Commodore Hawk should whistle
at you when you took the floor. My wor-
thy antagonist here you know as well as |
do. Those old Federalst would fool him
out of his ears. / say nothing about my
self. If you think can be bullied down by
the whole menagerie, don't vote for me; if
otherwise, otherwise"
"The Ass then began in the most magni-
ficient periods: My fell-o-o-w citizens!-
When the R-o-o-man Empire was at the
summit of its corruption, l do not think
such insolence was ever heard. What! NV
courageous and heroic friends, the sheep
are stigmatized as 'cowards;' these intelli-
gent and candid swine are styled, Stupid
and pig-headed;' and these geese and tur-
keys, whose gigantic intellects are the ad-
miraton of the known world, are covered
with flood of obloquy and vituperation,
worthy of the most corrupt period of the
Roman Empire!'
ave cannot reportthe remainder of this
grand harangue. Suffice it say, that the
Ass obtained the entire sheep-vote, pig
vote, and goose-vote, and was elected"

dates for office should not call pigs pigs."-

Our neighbor made his appearance last
week in an exceedingly handsome, new
Dress, from the Foundry of Ladew & Co.,
St. Louis. We congratulate him upon his
improved appearance, and trust his political
friends will appreciate his efforts, by an in
creased patronage.
We are a little curious to see how the
new types will talk about the late "union

not declare some of the assertions of their
antiquated predecessors radically wrong

c. II. GREEN: Dear Sir-Although
Randolph county was not represented in the
Wing State Convention, recently held in st.
Louis yet you will discover from the ac-
accompanying notice, that Randolph Wings
will be among the first to endorse and rat
ify the action of that Convention. We re-
greet exceedingly that Col. Doniphan was
unable to accept the nomination rendered
him, but from our knowledge of the mem,
bers composing the State Wing central COM
mittee we are well satisfied that the vacancy
will be filled by ode who will receive the
candid and enthusiastic support of the
Wings of Missouri.

ORFTEARY,

Departed this life on the 3Oth ult of Erysipelas,
after short but painful illness, Mrs. ABAGAIL
BoGGs, consort of Robert w. Boggs, of Howard
county, Mo-, aged 80 years, months ond 10 days.
She leaves large family and numerous friends 10
mourn her death. She died in the enjoyment of the
love and grace of God, with a calm resignation to
His will. May the loss sustained by her numer-
GUS friends be her eternal great gain.
sob! weep not, then, though cruel time
The chain of love has riven;
To every link, in yonder cline,
Reunion shall be given."

Died-In this county, on the 9th ult. at the res
idence of her uncle, WIN. Adams, Mrs. ISABELLA
NJ. SHARP, formerly of Garrard county, Kentucky,
aged 81 years.
''This languishing head is at rest
Its thinking and acheing are DER;
This quiet, immoveabe breast
Is heaved by affection no more"
On the 10th ult., after a slow and painful ill
ness, Mrs. MARY ToLsoN, in the 29th year Of her
age, consort of Capt VIM Tolson, and daughter
of Jefferson Ray, Esq, of this county.
II has seldom been our lot TO chronicle a more
affecting dispensation of providence than the death
of the above lady. Whilst yet in the prime of life
with fair prospect before her of ''rpe old age,'
the spoiler has laid his hand upon her, and sum
moned her hence, leaving bereaved husband and
six young children, besides large circle of friends
to mourn her loss Death in any form is terrible,
yet when it nvades the family circle to snatch
away the mother from her infant children, it is
indeed doubly so. May He who ''tempers the
wind to the shorn lamb' and who is the "father of
the fathsrless,'' be with her afflicted husband and
children to console them in their bereavement J.
On the 23d ult., Mrs. ELIZABETH, c0nsort OF

The Presidency. The Right Spirit.

The Shelbyville (Tenn.) Exposition, thus
distinguished Wings, from among whom the
Presidential candidate Of the party will pro-
badly be selected:
"Mr. Fillmore is beyond the shadow of
doubt, the first choice of this State; second,
Mr.. Webster, then Gen. Scott. But should
either of these worthy and distinguished
Wing champions receive the nomination, the
Wings Of Tennessee will rally as one man
around his standard, present an undivided
front, and in one solid phalanx storm the
outposts of modern Democracy, Freesoil
and Abolitionism, sack their citidel scatter
their forces, and achieve a victory that will
be pointed TO in all time to come as one of
the most glorious triumphs recorded in the
political annals of the nation. Let not the
serpent enter the Eden of Whiggery; listen
not to his seductive song; place your heel
upon his head and let him know that there
is no second Adam in the Wing camp; give
him to understand that we know OUR lead
ers, and we will support them, despite the
slime Of calumny that he may attempt to
rub over them.
While we prefer Mr.. Webster to Mr..
Fillmore, let us not be SO ungenerous, so
unwise, so unjust and unpatriotic as to say
that we will not support General Scott
We are bound to Mr.. Webster and to Mr..
Fillmore by stronger ties than those exist
ing between us and General Scott, and it is
very natural that we should desire and ear
nestly seek the nomination of one of these
worthy and distinguished Wings first; but
should we fail to get our choice, Pand Scott
should be the man, let there be no falter-
ing in our ranks--let us all be of one mind.
We have on former occasions sacrificed, and
with great reluctance, private preference
for the choice of our party, and entered the
contest with zeal and energy. The sacri-
flee now should it be required, Is nothing
compared with the time when we gave up
Henry Clay, (the name--Heaven bless it!
brings up a thousand recollections!)--
For the present we will add nothing more on
this subject

very small afiair-a very decided failure
Ed. Walsh presided, and after several pro-
