The Charleston Standard, in speaking Of
the corruption thai has been practised for
years past, iusregard to the public printing,
&c, concludes with the afoll6wing remarks /;
With forty or fifty millions to distribute
every year our Government is attracting to
Its seat every element of corruption; and be

breaths with: -impuiiity this tainted atmos-
phere. Life at Washington is an effort to
reach the public treasury, and active indus

Hon W. 4. johnson.

The Vicksburg Wing, commenting on
the letter of Mr.. VIM. n. johnson, published
in our last paper says:
"Mr. johnson declares that the causes
which called the Union party into existence
have passed away, and that the Union party
has already been Dissolved by the action of
Wings and Democrats. He is now ready to
join and embrace the very State Rights Dem
ocrats whom he SO bitterly opposed but
few months since. Should Mr.. johnson re-
ceive the nomination of the committee as an
Elector, he will be the only Union Democrat
on the ticket; but we presume be can readily
fraternize with them, as be regards it the
imperative duty ofeYery Democrat to sustain
the nominee Of the Baltimore convention
If the Baltimore convention should refuse to
endorse or Gc9uiesce az the measures Of The
compromise, and should further nominate
Col J.fersOn DaVis, or Gen Qnitm0n, loe
acOuld be glad to knOtO aChether Mr.. johnson
aciU then consider 1t the "i1pperGtire duty
ofke Union Democrats IN this STATE to
spstdin the nominees Of the Baltimore eOnUep-
tion.
Inasmuch as we have copied into our col
umns an article from the Xicksburg Sentinel
suggesting MR. y ohnson asa suitable person
TO be appointed as 9TH electcr by the Execu-
tive committe, We deem it proper to notice
the inquiry contained in.the clause we have
italicised. The Wig, however, somewhat
stulti6es itselfin propOunding it, after quoting
Mr.. JOhnson's declaration that he conceived
it the "imperGtive duty" of every Democrat
to sustain the nominees of the Baltimore
convention" Certainly this implied willing
ness tosuppOrt the ticket if either of the distn-
guished gentlemen named should beplaced
on it by the assent Democracy ofthe Nation
But lest this is not plain enough, we feel au-
thorized by full knowledge of Mr. Us views
to say that he aoiU; and that he considers
every Union Democrat in the State, who
looks to the National Democratic Conven-
ton for the candidates whom he will sup
port, pledged to the same course. And fur
thermore, regarding the question of acquies-
.cence or resistance to the Compromise con-
clusively settled by the people, be does not
believe that it requires any action whatever
at the hands of the Baltimore Convention
much less does he approve the absurd idea,
advocated by some, of making the compro-
mise test of political orthodoxy, or insert
ing it as an additional plank into the BaIti-
more platform. We hope our Vicksburg CO.
temporary is answered. -NtSsissippidn

Washington Correspondence.
WASHINGTON, April 10, 1852.

The whole matter of the public printing
has to-day been recommitted. A thing
which is not much liked by the Wings,
since Mr.. Rusk of the Senate has been sub
stituted for Mr.: Borland, who begged to be
excused from serving The Union Demo-
Gratis have now a majority of the committee,
and the plan will be to give both the House
and the Senate printing to Messrs. Donel-
son & Armstrong of the Union We shall
have another fight on the subject tomorrow
when the committee shall report.
The failure of ex-Gov. Jones to procure
the nomination of Gen. Scott at a mass
meeting of the Young Wings, in the city Of
New York, has inspired Mr.. Webster $
friends with great hopes of the future. Mr..
Fillmore cannot but perceive that Mr.. Web
ster is a stronger man than himself being
equally strong in the South; equally accepta-
bic to the Union men all over the Union,
and the special favoriteof New England and
all the large Atlantic cities. Mr.. Webster
has ten friends in the city of New York to
Mr.. Fillmore's one, and there is, besides,
less opposition to him, on the part of the Sc
ward wing, who, deferring to Webster, would
merely yield to a superior intellect; while
in the case of Fillmore they could simply
be absorbed BY principle antagoDistiO tc
their own. Besides, Seward, If he is to b.
beaten, would prefer to be beaten by the
great statesman Of Massachusetts,, than by q
successful politician in his own State.

PREcoCITY OF INTELLECT = Chatterton
wrote all his beautiful things, exhausted all
hopes of life, and saw nothing better than
death, at the age of eighteen. Burns and
Byron died in their thirty-seventh year, and,
doubtless, the strength Of their genius was
over. Rafaelle, after filling the world with
divine beauty, persisted also at thirty-seven ;
Mozart earlier. These might have produced
still greater works. On the other hand,
Handel was forty-eight before he gave the

EXTRAORDINARY RUMoR.-There is a
speculation or rumoT afoat in Paris to the
effect that Louis Napoleon has proposed to
adopt the young duke of Leuchtenberg, grand
son of the Emperor of Russia, and insert his
name in the sealed Testament as his success
or in the rulership of France. This may
be classed with the numerous guesses by
which other names have been as positively
designated for the favorite legatee. News
paper authorities have successfully given the
distinction to son of Lucien, son of Je-
rome and son of Murat; all are cousins ofthe
Prince President on the Bonaparte side
The new candidate for the honor is the son
of an own cousin upon the mothers side
being the infant child ofone Of the forum.
ate Leuhctenbergs, children of Eugene Bea.
uharnais. The youngest son of the Viceroy
married the daughter Of the Emperor Mic
nolas: and it would be q curious end of til,
career Of the Bonapartes if the rul-rship O
France should be bequeathed to decendan
of the repudiated Josephine, without drov
Of BOnaparte blood in his veins, under tht
protection of the Russian Empire.
ALI the writer's seem to assume that Tho
designation of a successor by the President
as Emperor, is to carry with it some title t,
authority independent of the will of France

THE ARRAY AT HAvANA.-By late let
tiers received per steamer Georgia via New
York, says the Alabama Journal, it appears
that the ARRAY represented in telegraph dis
patch from New Orleans, to have taken place
between English and American sailors, was
between them jointly on the one part and
Spanish sailors on the other. Troops were
finally called to the aid Of the latter, and
succeeded in bayOneting one Englishman
and one American. The American was sup
posed to be mortally wounded, but was liv-
inc four days after the affray. 1t is said
that the English and American sailors al
ways fraternize with each other, when they
have any third party to contend with.

MISCELLANY.
STAN z A S .

One eve Of beauty, when the sun
Was the stream Of Guadalquiver--
To gold converting. one by one,
The ripples of the mighty river
Beside me on the bank was seated
A Seville girl, with auburn hair.
Andeyes that might the world have cheat',l,
Avid, bright, wicked, diamond pair.
She stopped and wrote upon the sand,
Just as the loving sun was going,
With such soft, small, shining hand,
Youwold have sworn twas silver flowing
Her words were three, and not one more;
What could Diana's motto be7
The syren wrote upon the shore,
death! not Inconsistency"
And then her two large, languid eyes
So turned on mine, the devil take mel
! set the stream on fire with sighs,
And was the fool she chose to m axe me,
Saint Francis would have been deceived
BY such an eye and such hand,
But one week more, and believed,
Her pledge as little as the sand.
