President FmLMoRE-The Pennsylva-
nian, in a piquant article, canvasses the pre-
tensions Of Mr. Fillmore. His partisans have
been indulging in paroxysms Of patriotic ad-
miration for the chief who has exalted them !;
but they have failed to show the slightest rea-
sons for his claim upon the country.
What has he done to deserve the public
support His administration has accom-
plished nothing. He has suggested no pro-
iect of public policy. Bullying inferior pow
ers, and submitting to strong ones, has been
the only marked characteristic of his feeble
administration. He sacrificed his country
men, and virtually signed the warrant for their
execution. That blood no time can wash
out It cries aloud from the ground. His
course in relation to the Irish exiles, whose
cause 50 eloquently pleads for the Intervention
Of this Republic, has been both heartless and
humiliating.
The Vicksburg Sentinel truly remarks that
though possessing no national reputation pre-
vious to his being put on the whig ticket in
1s4S and scarcely known beyond the aboli-
ton district he represented. the Custom-hOuse
officers and the journals in his service imme-
diately invested him with extraordinary attri-
butes. and predicted that his administration
.4-.1f ~o,orruo1
Very we'll: He has now filed the Office two
years. The term is drawing to a close. He
has had unequalled opportunities to serve the
country and the cause OF freedom, and Of
public justice. and humanity. But the record
is barren Of wise and noble acts. Corruption
in the public funds and anti-American sym
pathy with tyrants, are the only features that
mark the repulsive physiognomy Of his gov
ernment. OF his own party, few, save the
Office holders, uphold him. The North de-
spises his duplicity. The South has no conf
dence in his sincerity or 6rmness The high
sounding phrases with which be promises to
execute the Fugitive Slave Law, and to call
out the army and navy in its support, and his
dilatory and equivOcal movements when deci-
sion became indispensable, show that be Is
utterly unworthy Of his station.
His party are now preparing to abandon
him for another In few weeks we shall
hear no more Of Fillmore. Those once SO
loud in his praise. will deny that they ever
had any thing to do with him.

STRANGE EFFECT PRODUCED BY A BABY.
A Liverpool paper states that man in
Birkenhead on an announcement being made
to him that he was the father Of child, went
mad. The account says:
The man, who is joiner, upon being IN
formed of the fact on his return from work,
Immediately danced and jumped about the
room in a very excited state Soon afterwards
he became frantic and hurriedly left the prem
ises; nothing was heard Of the man for two
days, although diligent search was made for
him; but on the evening of the third day be
made his appearance at the house, and had
scarcely entered when the cries Of his new
born child we're heard. which produced on
him the greatest excitement.-Without speak
ing to any one he sailed forth into the yard
where he stript himself Of all his apparel ex-
cept his shirt and trowsers. He then rushed
out Of the house, and fed in the direction OF
Claughton Park, after which he was seen to
enter plantation at Bedston. He was found
a week afterwards in rather battered condi-
ton, but was in a fair way to recover his sem
ses.
Wonder what the poor fellow would have
done in case Of twins or triplets?

Coon FOR THE LAwYERs.-The New York
Tribune says that sixty suits were commenced
on the Both ultimo, against the Metropolitan
Bank, for violations Of the Foreign Bank
Note Law Of 1889. The bank denies any
such violation. Some 1900 more suits are to
follow, il is stated, when the papers ars pre-

offence, viii make very considerable aggre-

he Place where Men should Die

Nov little recks il where men die,
When once the moments past,
In which the dim and glazing eye,
Has looked on earth its last;
Whether beneath the sculptured urn
The cofIined form shall rest,
OR in the nakedness return
Back to its mothers breast.
Death is a common friend or foe,
As different men may hold,
And at its summons each must go
The timid and the bold;
BIZ when the spirit free and warm,
Deserts il, as it must,
What matters where the lifeless form
Dissolves again 10 dust
,Twerc sweet indeed, to close our eyes
With those we cherish near,
And waited upwards by their sighs,
Soar 10 some calmer sphere
Ba rhefhcr on fhe soa6oid high
Or inhe battles ran,

Is irhere he dies for man.

x THANKSGIVING SONG.
BY HENRY WARE, j


Come, uncles and cousins; como ncces and auntss
Come nephews and brothers-no so0nt's and no e1nts
Put business, and shopping, and school hooks away;
The year has rolled round it s Thanksgiving day.
Come home from the college, ye rnglethared youth.
Come home from your factories. Ann, Katy, and Ruin
From the anvil, the counter, the farm, come away;
Home, home witl you ALT is Thanksgiving day.
The table is spread. and the dinner is dressed;
The cooks and the nothers have all done their best;
No .Caliph of Bagdad e'er such display,
Or dreamed of treat like our Thanksgiving day..
Pics pudlings and custards pigs, oysters and nuts
Come forward and seize them, without ITS and 6utss
Bring none Of your slim little sppetites here
Thank sgiving day only once in year s..t-.
Thrice welcome the day in its annual round!
What treasures of love in its bosom arc found! )
New England's high holiday, ancient and dear
'Twoud bc twice as welcome. II twice IN q year.
Now children revisit the darling old place,
And brother and-sister long parted embrace;
The family circles united more,
And the same voices shout at the old cctagc door.
The grandfather smiles On tile innocent inirth.
And hesscs the Power that has guarded his heath;
He remembers no trouble, he feels no decay,
But thinks his whole life has been Thanksgiving day.
Then praise for the past and present we. sing,
And, trllstfu await what tho future may bring
Let doubt and repiling be banished away,
And the whole of our lives ne Thanksgiyngday
