What Right has he, &c.

what Right has he, &c.
The girls are fond of suitors,
This fact each one may know,
Or, to speak little palmer,
They like to have beau.
But when those beaux are bashful
And try TO make a show,
By emily cutting capers,
They call them not beau.
Then If some happier rival,
Had como along ercwhile,
That was not quite so bashful,
And gained this lady's smile,
What right has this great horscman
Who kept, to make show,l
His noble steed prancing,
To call himself beau
Uhnt room has he for bcasting,
What he could once have done,
Since he the girls opinion,
Has neither asked or known d!
What right has he for saying,
To others round about;
That "'Twould be very easy,
To cut his rival out 2"
If his rival and this lady,
Together chance to Ne,
What right has he for saying,
"Shed rather much twas me-"
l say he has not any
You ask the reason why,
Iast from this fact, answc,,
This lady may deny,
That Ger he was her suitor,
or that he e'er colud lie,
And say to her, his rival
Was dearer far than he.
I'D always ask the lady,
(You know the reason why,)
For fear would be telling
What she would call lie.
And if saw lady,
And a gent together be.
would rot say, ,(not knowing,)
Shed rather much twas me.

Texas AND HER MINES OF GoLD.--For
some time past there have been rumors Of
gold diggings being discovered in Texas,
e~qualing in riches those Of California.
These mines are said to be located upon
the upper tributaries Of the Colorado in . mon
famous region, hitherto but little explored.
Extracts from Texas papers published near the
gold regions, are copied into the New Orleans
journals; detailing the success Of Parties who
are at work in the mines. The latest news
from there represent matters in . favorable
light which together with the short distance
from here has created quite an excitement
among our citizens several Of whom are about
starting to the newly discovered Egdorado
1t is not impossible that there Is gold = plan'
tiful in Texas as in California, the country be-
ing similar in almost every character and fea'
tatre.

The Schemes of the day-What
are they-Who cares about them,

We have so often been told that we live in
an age of schemes, that mems minds ar,made
ap on the point. II is an understood thing
at the present day, that at regular intervals
stupenduous undertakings and prodigious en-
terprises, which some years ago would have
seemed utterly insane, shall be proposed, dis
cussed and carried out; and we are so aceus-
toned to hear of such matters, that they ex-
cite but little surprise, and create hardly any
excitement.
The New York Herald thus commences a
playful article on the schemes of the day, and
then proceeds to say in substance.
One day an adventurer devises a large UNI
brella to cover the whole city in rainy wealth
er, yet the announcement of the invention ia
received with apathy. excebt by a few knowing
ones who take stock in the new scheme. An
other day an establishment is announced to sup
ply the whole city with Ice Cream at domicil,
at a mere nominal price. yet the general APP
athy is not broken. Then q system Of Air
Cans is proclaimed, to whirl US from place to
place, ovsr house-tops and chimneys, in less
than no tlze. for o mere trifie, but this is re-
ceived without elsvating our eyebrows. Ano
doctors hold . messing, and agree TO LET msdi-
cine alone, and leave patients some chance d
recovery, yet the public scarcely acknowledge
this great boon. Philanthropists devise Q
plan for cleansing the hearts Of criminals in

Reather Hufy.-But now come to think of
il, we beg pardon for limiting al. those tools,
and we will do so no more, for we were once
asked not to. But the little article from which
the above quotation is an extract was furnish
ed by somebody, and the said somebody, has
got wrathy, and waxed indignant, at IA using
the innocent words: "Tle Wing or its cores
pondent." This somebody in the article al
luded to says, "We had occasion once before
to inform the gentleman Of the Republican
that we were a cats paw for no man, and we
would now further inform him, that are not in
the habit of palming off borrowed brains, for
his own" Now we ask a single question,
who is meant by We. In all newspapers se,
is the editorial designation.
There is no avowed editor of the Wing.
In newspaper grammer, We, never means the
publisher, and the publisher of the Wing once
claimed to be publisher and nothing more,
and We still suppose he does net claim or pre-
tend to claim to be editor, and we feel quite
certain from his high moral character afd his
strict regard for truth and fairness that he does
not mean to claim the paternity, or authorship
of the reckless statements and palpable mis-.
representations, set forth by somebody in the
last Wing, in relation to the late Democratic
Convention, and to some of our most worthy
public servants. MOI do we believe he at the
sacrifice of principle would attempt to sustain
Foote, who is counting the wings and at the
same time claiming to be a democrat, the
gentlemanly publisher of the Wing, we say
we believe, would not do these things; with
this belief, we write the present article, and
with none but the kindest feelings towards the
publisher of that paper.
But it is a very easy thing for Mr. Somebody
to ly behind the fence corner and fire away
with his slang and SANDER, no matter how
false, or at whom, or what, when he knows he
is out of harms way. Nothing, shows
worse in any individual than to go forth
in the dark, trying to do mischief and to in
jure others, but when the light comes and
we try to see, nothing is visible but the dirty
marks of secret malignity, this must be q poo
satisfaction indeed indeed! II As no position
Of our correspondent y. II. L." was success
fully controverted, we deem no notice Of TIN
article, referring to him, at all necessary.
