An Un,,aralleled Out1aee

The Washington CORES pondont of the RoIN
more American Democrat states that some dis
honest rascal at the White Sulphur Springs had
the audacity to steal General pierce's famous
speckled shirt from the clothes line on which it
was innoccnty hanging to dry. Was ever any
thing more vainous in it's preparation. or more
unfortunate in its effects There the poor
Pre- sideni, not less than two hundred miles from
home--wh only ore specklcd shirt, and no
friends That speekled shirt he had carefully Sc
lected from n large lot exhibited to him in Wash
;ngton. lie had worn it all the way from the seat
of government. 1t had metropolitan set and
a Presidential odor about it. lie glored i'll it,.
We may appreciate, but cannot over estimate tho
reluctant and tender anxiety, with which he com
mtted it to the laundress-thc solictous forecast
with which he examined whether the eolors would
run--the many cautions and eptreaties with
which he finally permitted it to be hid away, like
the adventurous aud hard pressed Fallstaif, in
basket of q" foul linen" These things we may
ilnagine but who can conceive the anguish with
which he learned it had fallen into the hands of
some - dark lantern" prowler-that the garment,
which was his glory and his pride, that lay near
est his heart would glad his searching and sor-
rowing eyes, and soothe his gearing bowels no
more What unlucky aud diabolioal within made
the robber fancy the Presidents shirt And
more unlucky ana diabolical still-why, oh why
did he lay his covetous clutch on the President :
speckied shirt? 1t is no violence of presumption
to suppose that his excellency had shirts of other
coorl Why not have contented himself with
one of them--if he must possess himself Of an en-
ecutive neither garment? Or il the craving was
only for speckled shirt--why not have taken
one of the sporting gentry" who so much
abound in that vicinity, and are known to affect
that peculiar style, not less ardently than the
President himself! But the deed is done; and
we have no reason to doubt that the President
bore it with becoming fortitude. Doubtless,
Mr.. Marcy, who is great upon all questions OF
clothing from patch to Il paletot, has given him
much phlosophic consolation. But that is
not the thing of which we were thinking. when we
commenced this melancholy paragraph. The
President was on the soil Of Pirgioia when this
untoward event befel him! lie is Democrat : i!
Virginia is also Democratic and has Democratic
Legislature and Governor, present andprospec,ve.
What does it become State, the very mother Of
Presidents, and renowned the world over for hospi-
