much about the NATTER but one day after be-
ing a good deal questioned ann bantered by a
number of men, he offered them cigars and
took one himself and when the smoke ascended
lin cycles and epicycles," until the true smo-
kers clysium had been produced, he threw
out an extra cloud with twist known only to
ornamental smokers. and thus spake-
"Yon see, gentlemen it all depends upon the
saccharine principle"
They inquired what he meant BY saccharine
principle?
"You see, gentlemen, Jenny had the saccha.
rIne principle. A woman can't be cured unless
she has the saccharne principle. The rights
are what the doctors call "morbid secretion"
IL is most apt to happen to old maids and Wild
ows; but some wives whose husbands don't
know how to break them in, have this dis
ease awfully. II trequires constitutional treat
ment. III tho saccharine principle has been
driven away, or if they never had il, in such
cascs tho rights can no more be cured than
scrofula. But when there's good deal of the
saccharne principle in awoman. little help
from ono who understands the disease, will
enable her constitution to throw it off, and

From the National Intelligencer-
Tribute to President Fillmore from his Cabinet

We have much pleasure in giving publicity
to tho following correspondence; which reflects
equal honor upon President Fillmore and tho
members of his Administration II has, wo
presume, rarely happened that so great de-
gree ofharmony has existed between a President
and every member of his Cabinet. 1t may be
by some that the relations of Mr..
Webster and Mr.. Fillmore, as candidates for
the Presidency, formed an exception to this
mark. We have however. the best reasons for
believing that their friendly and confidential
intercourse, personal and political, was never
for moment Interrupted.

While Mr.. Webster and Mr.. Choate were

with his presence. nm .Hfr
Long before the appointed hour arrived, the
space about the doors Of the Senate Chamber
was crowded by persons eager 10 force their
Hay in as soon as admittance should be allowed,
tosee and hear the great statesman. Great was
The rush when he had arrived and the doors
Sere thrown open.
AS soon as order could be restored, one Of the
Senators briefly addressed the distinguished
guest; and when he had concluded everything
was as still us the death chamber.
Webster, after bowling to the Speaker and the
Senators, in has o,ca peculiar manner replied in
very few words. There was nothing partic-
ularly striking in what he said He spoke
slowly, in a low tone, without animation; and on
concluding Immediately retired. But the effect
was perfectly electric, The whole assembly
was instantly in cOmmOtion. And there were
loud calls for Stockton = 'Stockton' ..
The Commodore rose in the greatest agitation

What is it about Mr.. Webster, thought
which has produced such a sensation?
There was nothing peculiar in the crcum
stances, or remarkable in what he said. Some
thing, doubtless, was due TO his great name; bu
the effect should chiefly be attributed, l think
to the personal appearance of the man. AS HI

SHOOTING EXTRA.

We observe in the Temperance Battery an
affair Of shooting in our county, about which we
are disposed TO think there is some mistake, as,
among the four papers published in the county,
we have not seen any notice OF 1t. The 'Udd-
dim" of the story in the official disposition Of
the case, would it seems to US, have attracted
the attention Of some of our contemporaries
That we have any officer in our county who
would dismiss SO grave CT offence, BY making
"John Barleycorn" the scape goat, we are, again,
dis posed to doubt, and call upon the Battery for
names, that the whole matter may come out
The ignorance Of Justices of the Peace has been
90 often charged and laughed at that the idea
has become almost prover6ial. If one should so
far bring disgrace upon the Office, all, or any, by
natneless uncertainty, should not be made TO
sufTer, We call for the name Of the officer.
The account is headed "Sharpsburg," and is
as follows:
uGJust here we must tell a story about this
place - Sharpsburg. On Christmas day the
rumsuckers had great drinking frolic, and, as
is usual, got 10 quarreling and fighting One
Young man drew up his rifle and deliberately
shot his friend in the hip, the tcGdding penetra'
ting into the flesh and making bad wound
There was fortunately no bali in the charge
Another in the company shot his gun off agalns
neighbours door, and the escape of those sitting
in the room was certainly miraculous. But thu
point of the story is in the fact that when these
Offenders were brought up before the magis
trate, that sage functionary discharged them up
on the ground that it was the whisky and no
the men that committed the offences compliance
Of We go in for that Squire. Let all the magis
tFates of The State do as he did, and it will no
be long till the PEOPLE see tina. it is the wHIsK'
