We have a very sympdthizing
heart, and are b eginning to pity our
whig cotemporaI les. They pre in a
peculiarly embarrassing situation,
and will be until after the 9Th of
March. They are afraid to express
any opinion at all copsonark with
popular require ments upon the sub
ject Of our foreign relations, especial
iy the construction and maintenance
Of the Monroe doctrine. They can't
attack Gen. Pierce's Cabinet, for the
President elect has most di4creetly
kept his own counsels upon that mat
ter. Personal delicaey prevents any
allusion to the late Canvass. An &C.
&otes of Gen Scott, 'made Up to Or
der" are no longer in demand, and
calumnies upon Gen. Pierce decided
ly against public taste. "Dthello's
occupation is gone" and calm, as
breathless as that of the Dead Sea,
broods over their columns.
The pool, however, after March
will be stirred, though not exactly
by an angels wing. The cabinet
will then have be en- formed and con-
frmed, and known to the world
The inaugural viii be in every body's
hands. Removal of wllig officials
will have been commenced, and a.
general Gle pnsing of the deck begun,
We venture, in advance, to affirm
that the wing press will charge ore
third Of the cabinet to. be disunion-
lists, and the balance fllibusters.-
The Inaugural! will be criticized as
both weak and wrong. And for mar
tyred victims, their groans will fill
the land with lamentations. Rachel
weeping for her children and refus-
ing to be comforted -Hagar in the
wilderness-and every other type
and ezempli6cation of woe and
wrong, will stud whig columns. 1t
is not improbable thai a book Of mar
tyrs, like Scott's pic lur4 life, .wiu be
gott Pn up by some ente.prisiRg Pike
and the very Eneanents of the Gal
phins and their subordinates be
transmitted to posterity. In less
8n sixty days the Pierce ii tlmiHis-
tfation viii be charged with having
abolished slavery IN the States, dis
solved the Union, involved the coun-
try in war with Europe, Asia, Afd-
ch, Australia, Japan and "the rest of
mankind" dyed its hands in more
innocent blood than Was ever SIZED

The following aiecdote from the New
Hampshire Telegraph is too good to be
lost:
Many years ago there wa, in the cas-
tern part Of Massachusetts, a worthy
d. D., and although he was On eminent.
y benevolent man, yet il must be con.
lessed that he loved good joke more
even than the most inveteiate iokcrs. Il
was before chulch organs were much ia
use, It so happened that the choir Of the
church had recently purchased double
bass viol. No. far from the church was
a pasture. AMI in it a huge town bull.
One hot Sabbath in the summer he got
out Of the pasture and came believing
up the street. About the church there
was plenty Of untrod'len grass, green
anil good, and Mr.. Bull stopped to try
the quality, perchance to ascertain il
its location hal improve its flavor, u,
any rate the reverend doctor was in the
mi lst Of his discourse when s.
'Boo.woo. WOO went the bull.
The doctor pause |, looked at the sing
er's. an wilma grave face said:
Il woul | hank the musicians not to
tune thcr instruments during the service
time, it annoys me very much
The people stared, and the minister
went on.
Boo. woo.woo, went the bull again,
as he passed 10 another green spot.
The Parson paused again AMI address.
scd the choir:
81 really wish the singers would not
tune their instruments whilel am prea.
ching, as | remarked before, it annoys
me very much
The people Uttered, for they knew as
we'll as any Gle, what the real state of
the case was. The minister went on
again with his discourse, bu, he hal
no, proceed far when another Eoo.woo.
woo,' came from Mr.. Bull.
The parson paused once more, AMI
again exclaimed:
Il have twice already requested the
musicians in the gale y not to tune
their instruments during sermon time.
| now particularly request Mr.. Lafevor
that he will not tune his double bass
viol while am preaching
This was too much. Lnfever got up

The MOSQUITO King.

. A correspondent Of the New Orleans
Delta. writing from BlewGelds, gives I
very different imp 'essien Of hi. Majesl,
Of Mosquito from that which ordinariI,
obtains. He says:
"Americans, who are accustomed 10
hear Of the Mosquito King as his wool

whom
"-letbu satire lift his gun,
The more the feathers fly the more the FAM
would be nsreea5ly surprised to meet
him, and spend short time with him
at BlewGelds. He is about nineteen
years Of age, Of slight and graceful figure
pleasing countenance. small feet and
remarkabl delicate hands; his color .ha,
Of an Indian; his hair straish and black;
in short, his tout ensemble is that ol
the pure.bloodcd native, without the
fain,est touch Of the negro. Ho usual.
ly dresses plainly but neatly--white
points, black jacket or cout and straw
hat. At times he wears his uniform,
which also neat end becomes him well.
HI has received very fair clndation.
pnd his manners with strangers are
mo lest ami reserved; but, on acquain.
,ancs, he proves lively. courteous and
agreeable. He is very fond Of Dory.
sailing, and manages one with great
skill and daring; the sitter the breeze
the better he likes it--particular If he
happens TO have ttmil friend with him.
He is an excellent swimmer, bold ri.
der and very fonl Of horses. His great.
est penchant, however. is for Dory sail .
ing, an,l he always keeps 6ne assort.
ment o! boats.
IL 10 not think that the mos, intense
American ,oul,l avoid being, as said
before. agreeabIy surprised n, meeting
him; instead of o thick.lippel. woolly'

Stowe would term "Afric's sony a
