Cheating the Printer.

A man who would cheat the printer would
steal a meeting house and rob grave yard.
If he had soul, ten thousand ofits size would
have more room in musquito's eye than a
building Pacific ocean. He ought to be
winked at by blind people, and kicked across
logs by crpples-London Times.
Amen such being would steal the molas-
ses cut of sick nigger's cake, take from a
drunken mans mouth his last chew of tobacco,
walk at night through the rain to deprive a
blind sheep of its fodder; travel fifty miles on
fasting stomach to cheat a dying woman out
of her coffin, and steal wax out Of dead hog
ears. Such man ought to be tied to sleeps
tail and butted to death .-Netc York Herald
Exactly so, but that isn't all He would
break surveyors level, to get out the alco-
nol, and his wife's watch for the mock jewels
bid against a widow at her husbands auction,
steal the shoe strings before daylight, and rob
dead cobbler of his awl-.St Petersburg
NosLorit
Yes, thousand of such souls as that mans
would rattle in a mustard seed, dance country
dances on the point of wasp sting, or march
abreast through the eye of Russian soldiers
needle. \ microscop of an English sailor
would fail to discover them. and when found
they would not fill the smallest Granny in crea-
tion.-Pa5S MonjtcUr.
Yes, and that amt all. Such fellow
would rob lame goose's nest of the last egg.
steal a rats tail from a blind kitten, for there
is nothing now that he would not do. He
should be tied up to broomstick and scalded
to death by old maids, and then his bones
should be made into buttons to lie worn on
the breeches ofconvicts. -BcrIiney Kla6dcra-
/ 7qfsch
That's a fact, and that amt all. Such a
scoundrel would steal the clothes from the bed
of the Empress on a cold night, and kill the
good Emperor in the church. He would take
his fathers coffin to ride down hill on. A
man ike this should walk IN the prison for
more than hundred years -OeStreicher Post.
All the above ought to be preliminary suf-
ferings, ''the prologue to the swilling act, }" Of
! bis anal DOOM He should be eventually con-
signed to Tophet, where his perpetual punish
ment would be, to read the newspaper squibs
perpetratod at his expenso--Ronaa Stella.
To the above we have nothing further &c
say, for there is nothing further too mean fol
to do They would steal the oats from {
| blind horse and sell them for shoe pegs, pinch
the Eagle from a half dollar for the sake O
! feathers. and visit the slaughter houses and
gather up the hoofs of dead animals to make
soup of. Iftherc are any such in this coun'
try send them to us, We viii spare half dol

HENRY S MOTT.

We call the attention of our readers to a
letter from this gentleman which will be found
IN this column addressed to the Chair
man of the State Central Committee, IN
which he effectually puts to resi- the charge
preferred against him by the wing pless of be-
ing a Know-Nothing. Wenever believed the
accusation, and were always well satisfied
that it was started by the wbigs for the pur-
pose of diverting attention from the statements
of the Pennsylvania in reference to Judge
Pollocks connection with that most contempt
ible of modern political heresies. We are
pleased that Mr.. Mott has thus place himself
right upon the record. The democracy of
the state can now go into his support with en-
thusiasm and with full confidence of success.
We would despise a victory obtained by pan
dering to the proscriptiye and anti-american
doctrines Of any such sneaking selfish, mid
night organi ization-composed Of men whose
only ambition appears to be the destruction
of peace and good viii in socioty-such has
heretofore been and always will continue to
be the better and accursed fruits of their un-
holy efforts. We will now see whether the
whig papers will have the manliness b pub

My dear Sir 1t has been rumored in GER
tain political circles, and insinuated in some
of the newspapers of the day, that you arc
connected with a secret association, organized
fer polical purposes, commonly called ." Know
Nothings."
The charge has been repeated with more
distinctness in the Daily News of this city
of yesterday date and although your friends
do not attach the slightest Importance to
these allegations, as being founded in fact,
yet it is nothing more than right that they
should be meet by formal denial.
Such charge, if true, would be deroga-
tory to your political character as Demo-
crat and place yourself and the Republican
party, of which you are the nominee for an
important Office, in false position.
[ am therefore instructed by the State
Central Committee to interrogate you on this
subject, not that we believe for moment
that the charge is true, but merely to have
your denial in an authentic and unequivocal
form for publication
Very respectfully, &c,
