Is the Whig Party Dead.

Raymond OF the Times, second on 2 to
Greedy, of the Tribune, among American
Journalists, and occupying middle ground
in the whig party between the radicailsm Of
the Tribune, and the fossiliSm ofthe Express
thus apostrophizes the whig party;
He lies very sill, very careless, very in
different to what the Doctors say about him.
He has lain so long that there is some apol
ogy for those who propose to bury him out
of sight Enemies are agreed that it IS time
to put him under ground, and some good
friends think that may be it is best for the
sake Of the living to do SO. But there are
some sangune ones yet, who would wait a
little longer. Let us leave no test unappll2d
before giving him up. We have horror of
premature burals.
Bring candIe--let us examine the sub
iect. Still as dead man; hasn't kicked
since last FALL noises were heard in his
rooms, but it was only the cat mewing, or
the bat fitting through the open window
Pinch him-he doesn't stir; call him bad
names he "takes it easy" These are bad
signs, it is probable we shall be at charges
for mourning.
Fetch looking glass, Here is one--the
old doctrine of Protection. The party was
wont TO look in that and see itself at length.
Hold it close to his mouth--and not a cloud
not the slightest vapor obscures the surface.
This is very bad. Bring hartshorn. 1t is
Of no use. Jefferson Davis just held that
that to his nose in the shape of free trade
speech; and never a sneeze was heard, -
When the whig party bears such sternuta-
tories without fiinching, be sure lis palsed
at least
Sit down close by MIN, and whisper in
his eai, all about the internal improvements
that are on foot. Once that would have
warmed his blood like fresh air in his lungs.
Tell him that the Pacific Railroad bangs in
doubt that nobody is moving in the matter
that local interests will wreck the scheme.
Doesn't his chest heave? All that charm
is zone, too. Once the very words Internal
hapyovenaeats stirred his blood like trum-
pet. Once the topic was his hobby, if an
other broached it, he was into him suddenly
withnot a very polite request to leave alone
his thunder. Now, anybody hurls the re-
cumbent Jupiters bolts. How is his pulse

and keep your hand on his heart. AlasI

The "Liheler' branded.

The Ohio State journal, OF Wednesday,
has for It's leader an article headed brand
the Libeller," the gi$t OF which is contained
in the first sentence, which runs thus:
"Some scoundre who signs himself tMa-
ny Teachers" has written a communica-
ton which appears in the New Lisbon Pat
riot, (Loco,) wherein, among other false
and line llous things, he says that LoRIN AN
DREws is crank whig, who neglected his
business aa1 stumped il for Scott, when un-
der the employ of she teachers Of the State,
to act as agent Of the Ohio State Teachers's
Association"
Ii the calling of hard names makes ver-
dict of mot guilty." the journal has ac-
quilted its favorite, but not otherwise.
The proceedings of the School Teachers
convention, which met III Dayton, as pub
lished in the Sandusky Register, lets us into,
the fac that Mr. Andrews was employed, las,
charged, at salary Of fifteen hundred dol
lars per annum, and that the remainder OF
the years salary was aised at the conven-
ton to pay him. That during the time he
was employed, he made stump speech for
Gen. Scott is fact so often and SO easily
proven, that the Journal will not, we think
hazard a denial OF its truth. If il does not
deny this latter fact, the substance Of the
charge against Andrews is broken. Who
then is the libeller? 1t cannot be the wri-
ter in the "Patriot" unless we fall back up
on the old exploded theory O "the greater
the truth the greater the libel" The ban
ishment Of that doctrine by the common
sense one that the truth may at all tmesbe
given in evidence, puts the brand not upon
the wrterir the Patriot, butupon the Jour
nal--the SANDER, not upon Lorin Andrews,
but upon "Many Teachers" Verify the
journal man has got his foot into it
This charge against Mr.. Andrews is not
a new one. We made it as an objection to
his election more than month ago, and 1t
has been freely commented upon and con-
demned by the Democratic press, yet the
journal Just awakening from Rip Van
Winkle sleep, denounces it as freely, and
gives vent to.its indignation in as good set
terms as lift were talsehood.- Ohio State

SOUND DocTRINE.-The Baltimore Amer
lean, speaking of the alleged dedication OF
Mr.. Collier, late Collector Of the port of San
francisco, says, "that it will be time to dis
cuss that point when the responsibility of
the sureties of Mr.. Collier shall be question
ed" and that sin the meantime it is scarce
ly worth while for the public to get iidgety
on the subject Perhaps they will not
think it unreasonable to wait until it be as
certained if anything is due
Upon these views the Richmond Whi3
has the following just animadyersions:
"lt may be that the Government will lose
nothino-0ut that is not the question. An
officer has no right to use puolic money SO
as to render itpo$Sidle for Government to
lose. We were under the impression that
Congress- found it necessary in the Van Blu
rem lime to pass law making ita penitentia-
ry offence for a public agent to use public
funds. Even that was not sufficient to re-
strain the hungry horde then praying upon
the public yitals. But the law is still in
force. We donot undersSand how an Off
eer can differ with the Government in east
ing up accounts We supposed there were
certain plain rules for settling al! accounts,
and to which every public agent having
transactions with the Treasury was subjec-
ted Iievery officer is priveledged to ioakc
his own rules, and cast up his accounts to
suit himself, there can be no cheek on pub
lie depredators."

The Comet.

A comet has been visible in the heavens
for several evenings past, nearly to the
westward, and about fifteen to twenty de-
grees above the horizon. The "three hun
dred year" comet, as it is sometimes called
was expected to appear in the latter part OF
this year or the first Of next. Its first ap-
pearance Of which we have any account, was
the 9Th of July, 1864. Its next appearance
was the 2lst of April; 1856, period of 292
years intervening. At that rate it would
be due again in l848. But astronomers in
calculating the period of its return in this
century, take into account the disturbing
and retarding forces to which it would be
subject, and some Of them have predicted
that it would not be seen until 1856: others
fix the time in 1858.
If that is the one now visible, it will soon
disappear, but will be back again shortly,
and come much nearer to the earth, and APP
bear of very large size, and very brilliant
1t was the comet Of which we speak, that

ately for the credit of the historian, howev-
er, that monarch had abdicated one year be.

If there is any comet that has the peculiar
virtue Of frightening despots, we wish it
would come this way and take turn over
Europe just now.
