Previ GUS 20 the last Presidential election a
young sprig of an Editor strayed or was sto-
len from the Wing party at Canneiton, Perry
county, Indiana. He was at that time editing
an "Independent paper" called the ''Indiana
Weekly Express and was busly engaged in
trying to explain the difference between
s.neuiral and independently which Herculean
ask, he finally accomplished to his own sat
though we must confess not to the
satisfaction of his dull readers. The young
man was decidedly Wing at that time-atten
ded Wing meetings, and had great many
stale notions about the best means of secur-
ing the triumph of the Wing part but chose
to print an independent paper because he
thought it W, uld pay Subsequently the
Young man attended Democratic Conven-
ton and showed some signs of disaliection
to his party, and even went 50 far as to give
in his experience and avow himself young
Democrat,and after having his mock sincerity
vouched for was permitted to take seat and
act as one Of the secretaries of the Convention
made specch-got three Simon pure Dem
ocratic subscribers to his independent paper,
and returned home to the great qualification OF
his friends who did not know he was out
But then he explained this act of disaffection
to his Wing brethren by telling them, that he
was still good Wing and had only been
pulling the wool over the Locos eyes to get
them to subscribe to his Independent paper.
Shortly after the Democratic Baltimore con-
vention he obtained favor in the eyes of the
party by writing the history of one F. O..
Pierce, which shed a flood of light upon the
life of that obscure individual, and no
doubt in the young mans estimation turned
the tide which. was in the Generals favor and
secured his triumphant election. But as an
offset to this, the young man wrote about the
same time an article on the tariff that was
decidedly Whiggish in its tendencies.
From his whole course his friends were sat-
isfied he ad no sinister motives in view, and
was only acting with an eye single to a mail
agency, and as it was not then known
who would be President until after the cleo
ton was over, he thought best to stand
still and see what would be trumps. A ter
the election the young man made two saga
cious discoveries-the first was that Gen.
Pierce had been clected-the second that a
portion OF President Fillmore's Message
smacked of Edward Everatt, really as much
as his article o n the history Of parties smack
ed of some body else. And he has now made
the discovery that with his departure from the
Wing party, departed also its glory and
strength and that "slown in the Pocket"

ing about the outskirts Of Democracy, while
DR.. Sugg was trying to teach him to work
his way in.
He is after something that will pay. A
mail Agency would be very acceptable to
him, and if he fails in getting that, he would
have no objections TO remaii ing in the Post
Office where he now is,until something turns
up that will pay better. His retention how
ever, would be source of regret to both
parties. The Democratic party are hereby
cautioned against trusting him on account OF
the Wing party, as they never endorse for
MN. He is " ung man about twenty two
or twenty-three years old-light completed

spare built-has stoppage in his speech
and hesitates and stammers when spoken to-
tries to look interesting-quotes Upper to the
young Ladies,--writes acrostics, and is very
sentimental. For further particulars apply
