Dear Sir The gen
tlcman whose name heads this communication has
been often favorably mentioned by the Democrat
&c papers of the State, candidate for Congress,
While l am satisfied that his nomination for that
distinguished position would receive the approba-
ton of the entire Democracy in this section of the
State, yet many Of US believe that old Lowndes
possesses prior claims on the services of our friend.
The almost unanimous sentiment of the party
points to him as our candidate for seat in the
Senatorial Branch of our State Legislature
The devotion of many years of his life to rigid
examination of the principles of the government,
his thorough cOnversance with the wants of the
country, his long able and Jealous advocacy of the
cause of Democracy, and his sound conservative
and consistent position, has rendered him univer-
sally acceptable to the party, and constitute claims
and qualifications which l have no hesitation in
saying will be readily acknowledged by all. Let
us then claim him with one voice our Standard
bearer for this Senatorial seat, and we shall obtain
an overwhelming victory for our principles in the
coming political struggle.

ReaSOn--What is it9

MR. EDITOR Such is the vagneness and uncer-
Gainty, existing in the public mind in regard to the
nature of conceive that the matter requires
investigation, with the view to ascertain what it real
ly is No correct idea of it be gathered from the
iexicons. Webster's work, the almost universally ac-
fnowledged standard authority in English literature
defines the term thus-that which is thought or which
is alleged in Words the ground of opinion
conclusion or determination" But not content with
this, the nearest approach which he makes to a cor
rect definition of the word in any Of the succeeding
notifications. and running the idea through ten de-
grees of variations, the author concludes with the fol-
lowing string Of synonyms. "Argument, ground, con-
sderation motive, principle sake, account, object, pur
pose, design" The learned photographer, it would
seem, was determined hitting the thing, by free
enumeration Of every thing having the least resem-
bance to it. Thus, he calls it "ground Of opinion;
2 support, efficient cause final cause, faculty of mind,
Tstiocination right justice reasonable claim rationale
moderation, moderate demand" &c. Now, were it not
true, that there similar uncertainty, not to say alb
eurdity, in the definitions of hundreds Of other words

strained to ask the qestionwas there ever before ex-

The Rag-pickerS and BOne-gatherGrS Of New
York.

The deeper one descends in the gradations of
social position in this city, the more apparent does
it become that 'one half of the world don't know
how the other half live The bone and rag gath
Ierers-answering to the 'Chiffoniers' of Paris
are almost exclusively Germans, and are mostly
Icongregated on the Eastern side of the city, and
from their clannish disposition, popularity of lam
guage and habits, form communities or colonies
as distinct as though no others surrounded them.
Withdrawn from intercourse with their fellow men,
they only emerge wieh their hooks and pokers, to
add to their filthy accumulations. Under the es-
cort of Capt. Squires, on the 18th police district,
we were favored with glimpse of real life,
among these degraded creatures.
For dwellings, they generally select such as are
constructed for the accommodation of numerous
families under single roof These are put up
very slightly, at a comparatively small expense,
and the revenues accruing to the owners, from
rents, from large per centage on the capital in
vested. One structure on Third street, owned BY
late State Senator, is calculated to yield month
ly income of $168, equal to $2,O16 per annum.
It's separated in the rear by court from another
building of the same description, yielding nearly
the same amount of revenue. Each floor forms
twelve apartments, filed by as many families,
each of which pays So, So 81, 81, 80, or SIS pei
month, according to location. There is no pecu-
mary motive for putting up buildings of any other
description in this locality. Though they are oft
en- filthy in the extreme, new buildings of better
quality would be filed by the same occupants
with the same habits.
There are many other houses of much the same
character, similarly occupied. On sheriff street
is large rear building containing about fifty fami
lies. The habtaticns of the rag -pickers may gen
orally be recognized by the long rows of rags
swinging from lines, to dry and looking something
like the brown wetted leaves in a tobacco shed.
/ About daylight, the colonies are in motion, ant
the able bodied, equipped with baskets and pokers
sally FORTH each emuIus to anticipate the rest il
reaching the field of gain. Sometimes the city il
partitioned off into districts, and it is as much
tresspass to oyerstep the boundaries assigned, a,
for fire engine to run out of its district. A few
more favored than the rest, have carts with which
to collect the refuse and oal of kitchens and butch
er-shops; and the wife and good dog well har
messed, exert themselves in concert, in urging i
forward. At the close Of the day, when the cir
cult has been completed, the baskets, bags AMI

To the Memory CT John Campbell Kerr.

He was known and loved by many in this place
lie left us with the vain hope of regaining his health,
md his remains rest in distant land. 1t was dark
Amy night and torches needed to guide his friends
when they laid him in the grave.
Twas sad parting-loney were the hearts,
And desolate the home, his smile had left,
Yet, Hope oft whispered, she will soon return"
And anxiously they watched for tidngs from
The absent Son and Brother
Tidngs came.
Alas The Mother weeps in anguish, and
The manly, generous heart that shared from
Childhood's hours, his every Joy and grief,
Owns that Deaths icy hand has snatched away
His choicest treasure. Rclentessly he
Tracked his foOtsteps-each hour stealing nearer,
Till he knew his prey secure-then claimed it.
Twas mdnight's solemn hour-he hushed the earth
To silence drew the veil of darkness
Gathered funeral clouds, and hung them Ger
The scene; and though the tears of heaven fell
In sympathy with the few faithful ones,
Who fingered weeping round the belr, and bore
Their lost one to the grave S; There was no tear
In his cavernous eyes spreading his dark damp
Black pnions he lowered near, watching the
Group until they laid the cold clod DER him,
= Then STOPPING with his poisonous breath he
Quenched, even the torchlights feeble ray, and
Triumphed in that cherries night of gloom.
He triumphed-had he gained the victory!
No ! MOTHER, weep no more twas nought but the
Frai tenement of clay, that yielded there
The freed spirits, received by Him who broke
The bands of death, stood with the angel throng
Around His throne of light. There he waits to
Welcome thee, BROTHER dry thy falling tears,
And turn thy thoughts to Heaven Another link
Is severed from the chain that bound thee here
To earth. Another voice is calling thee
To seek thy home on high. Another hand
Extends its aid, and will support thy steps.
Turn from Earth's pleasures clasp the guiding hand
And, when the glorious resurrection morn shall
dawn,
Stand with thy loved ones, ransomed from the grave
Reunited never, more to part.
