Legislature We should be content with moth
ing less. We can-will-do both, despite of all
opposition But, to do both, or either of these,
we must work, work, work -
The Gazette, Of the same date and place, has
a sort of hybrid theological leader, in which it
says that "Selah is an abridged expression,
used for litigation Selah-Higgaion indicating
the sound of the stringed instruments, and Selah
a vigorous blast of trumpets." We tell our
brother of the Wing to give the enemy +" Higga-
ion Selah with both barrels-right hand and
left" a vigorous blast of the trumpets," and
we will record the victory in Tennessee with
our biggest kind of double caps.
The editor of the Crescent, q fierce and quite
able wing journal of New0rleans, is indignant
at the suggestion that the whig party is defunct
He grants that it has been in trouble, but it has
come out refined and purified; and is now in bet
ter condition than ever. The party has got
clear OF the aboltionists and is all the stronger
for the radiance. What's left of the whig party
after the loss of the abolitionists, may be i'm
proved, what there is Of it; but VIC should like
to see a call of the house now, for we don't be-

A call on one side of the house wouldn't be
productive of half so many funny scenes just
now as q call on t'other side. Perhaps our friend
of the Journal would like to hear the kind of
democratic utterances that would come from the
compromisers, the barnburners and the seces-
sionists if another election was at hand We
congratulate ourselves on being rid of the abo-

same grounds for congratulaton We are clear
of the woods, but the wolves will catch them if
they dun't take longer strides towards Jordan

DEMOCRATIC HARMoNY.-The latest advices
from New Hampshire inform us that the Legis-
lature of that State, now in session, and the
rampant democracy, now congregated, have
been startled by the introduction of a series OF
resolutions into the House by the Hon. Edmund
Burke. censuring the appointments and con-
duct of President Pierce in very severe terms.
Hon. Edmund Burke was formerly represent
atve in Congress from New Hampshire, and
Commissioner of Patents under
Polk. He is bitter partisan, a man Of con-
influence, and has always heretofore
been upon favorable terms with Gen. Pierce.
itself during the election, and the distribution
Of the spoils has monopolzed every sense and
feeling since. Of course every one couldn't be
sent to Mexico or Liverpool, and those who got
nothing are beginning to raise their Ebenezcrs.
There is indeed sufficient ground for an uprising
of the party and very general damnation of
the President, His appointments have been
most extraordinary and unwarrantable. They
have been insulting to the Compromise party
and to the Free sellers, to the Hunkers and the
Barnburners, the Hard shells and the Soft.
Under this cover the disappointed may rally
and throw mud at their idol pretending all the
time that their scattering arises from the pure
of patriotism OF course nobody will
be silly enough to believe their assertions, but
they will be all the more piquant for that. Go
in, friends there is the amplest opportunity
for abusing President that has occurred since
the Constitution was framed
