How to make n Donkey cease Drawing

In iolo, we were once makinga journey in a

ass, So iu OF nrdor and agility TINT the two mules
who completed our team had oil the difficulty in

ever was So hlled with the sense of his own supe-
norliy and SO proud If it, that whenever he be-
came aware of the presence of any Of his breth-
rem let them he ut over 80 great distance, he
never failed To begin boasting of it in such sono-
rous tones that his folly became quito insupport-
able When he got to un inn, instead of trying
to rest himself this interchangeable beast passed
the whole night inprnctsing his music; and there
appeared To be something peculiarly provo
KING IN the tones of his voice, that all the asses
WITHIN hearing, influenced it would seem, by the
power OF some magnetic nuid, were quite sure to
respond IN n magnificent bravura. so that alto

Ono evening, when our cateohist was vaunt-

interrupting him "Your ass" said we, ..is an

"Whv did yoa not tell mo 50 beforel" said tho

singing.

wag, and indulgod occasionally in small Joke,
we took little notice ofhis reply, but that night
we slept quite soundly.

said he, when we met in the morning
"Perhaps not at NIL events we ccrtan, did
not hear him"
"No, no; think not; saw To that before l

cannot raise it.
We smiled without reply, thinking this WAS
another piece Of pesantry; but he cried Come
now and see, you can easily convince your

the ernrt yard, whore we beheld, sure enough,
the poor ass with large stone attached to his
tail and with the air of having entirely lost his
accustomed spirits. His eyes fixed on the
ground his ears down, his whole appearance
denoted humility and detection We felt quite
oompR9 sionato towards him. and begged his
master to unite the stone; and ns soon as ever he
felt his musical appendage at liberty, the crea-
turo rased' first his head, then his ears then his

The following card appears in the last num-
Der received of the Fort Smith (Arkansas)
Gazette. We commend it to ths careful De-
rusal of all true honorable Masons who have

zation:
We, the undersigned, having been initiated
into the order called know-nothings, at the
office Of DR.. j. III. L. Maine, Of this city, have
become perfectly satisfied that the principles
of said called order are antsgonistic to repub-
licanism aud in violation of the constitution
of the United States and also in violation OF
our Obligations to the Masonic fraternity, which
teaches us respect the constitution of oul
country, love to God, and charity to all
| men,
Having found the order of know-nothing.
is not what il was represented to US, and be-
heying it to be in opposition to good moral.

to the obligation of true Masonry, We there

Billy She ets-A Great Man

Wonder when BILLY SHRETs became a
great man? Was it about the 11th of j uly last,
near the time of the Fusion Convention in
this city. when he was made the great head
of the Know Knothings Of the State, in place
of GoDLovE 8. ORTH? About that time Mr..
SHEETS began to look wise and put on his
dignity. Since that event. his patriotism or
his "tot0ering ambition has prompted him to
assume the character of a stump orator, and
to discuss politics in every group OF street
ioafep which he may find congregated. He
has had appointments to speak In nearly all
the townships of Marion county, but unfor-
tunately for him, his fame and reputation,
as speaker, failed to draw out respectable
sized audiences of the people to listen to his
great wisdom and oratory. He has since
tempted street speaking al night in the 's5Azs
and has met with but little better success.
What pity Why are the people 50 dull
as not to appreciate his great talents? u
BILLY is cunning man, managing nsr.
a great man. He is determined the people
shall hear him He therefore wishes TO avail
himself of the popularity and reputation oi
Gov. WRIGHT, whom he has challenged no
meet him in political debate, so that tn G
Governor shall attract a crowd for Billy to
speak to. What part of the audience would
Billy's presence be apt to bring to the meet
ing7 His oath bound, foresworn brothers
might possibly attend, but they would bs
hard material for the truths which might be
uttered by Democrat, TO operate upon
while on the other hand, Billy would hope
to impose some of the beauties of : 2y
Nothingism upon the iguorant GerjafS ~

TnK THREE MILLIONS DrR TO MExIco.-A
statement which appeared in Mexican paper
in connection with the flight or Santa Anna,
and was thence copied into our own journals,
that the Government had refused to pay Santa
Anna the three millions which remain due on
the purchase of the Mesilla Vail ey, was. it ap-
pears, without foundation. The treaty does not
bind the United States to pay his sum until
after the completion of the bound iary survey be-
tween the two countries; and as; that has not
been brought TO a termination, II ve money is not
yet due. The third article Of the treaty is in
the following terms" In cons Iteration of the
! foregoing stipulations the Go, rernment Of the
United States agrees to pay to the Government
Of Mexico, in the city Of New York, the sum oi
ten millions of dollars, of VIII eh seven millions
shall be paid Immediately pom the exchange
| Of the ratifcations of this treaty. and the re
naming three millions as so on as the boundary
line shall be surveyed. mar ted, and establish
ed" The seven millions W ere paid in accord
ance with this stipulation. and the balance i
withheld only because, by the terms Of tn
treaty, it has not yet become due.

For The paIlr state sentinel.

The recent challenge of one of the "woulC
be" great men of this city, to Gov. WRIGH1
to meet him in public debate, reminds us O
the fable of the frog who thought he could
make himself as big as an OK, which he saw
grazing near the muddy pool in which he
croaked, 50 he swelled up bigger and bigsel
| Itill he burst wide open to the great consterna.
ton OF all the little frogs about him, while
the noble OK was not even disturbed by the
explosion.
Mr.. SHEETS probably knew that our res
pected and popular Governor would decline
such a challenge, for at the Bates House on
Saturday evening he failed to notice any thing
said by Mr. s., the night before.
1t is hoped that Gov. WRIGHr will never
insult the public so much as to engage in
debate either with Know Nothing. or any
enc who is an apolcgist fQs lhs secist order
Tho advocates of the dark lantern party
should have it all to themselves in their own
cabals, and not be dignifed by contest with
men of acknowledged ability who con
denim both the lanternite policy aud their re-
ligious prosecutions.
Any national man would let himself down
by entering into verbal discussion or argu-
ment with Know Nothing or one who
espouses the cause of the Lanterntes.
Good Democrats and good Wings should
denounce them and the foul conspiracy
against Catholics and foreigners. and repudi-
ate their dangerous, unholy and detestable
doctrines eyerywhere-but should never.
never engage in an argument to show that the
purpose and object of the midnight order Is
base, when their deeds have stamped the or
der with infamy.
If they want Arguments, we can silently
point them to churches desecrated, blown up,
torn down, or burned, to ballot boxes des-
troyed, citizens disfranchised, and the bones
of innocent women and children, buichered
or roasted within the flames Of their dwell
lings, fred by Know Nothing inceudiaries.
Know Nothings should not expect that any
one, whose heart is panied by the sickening
details of the doings of that order In Cincin-
natl. New Albany, st. Louis, New Orleans
and Louisville, would deem words necessary
to convince the public mind Of the enormity
of such shameful outrages, when the monu-
inents of their heart-rending crimes are so
plainly exhibited in smoking ruins, desecra-
ted churches, ohsrred human bones and
weeds Of mourning.
Let our dignifed and noble Governor. and
our eloqent. truthful and able speakers go on
in their holy and praiseworthy efforts to warn
the people of the country against party who
have donc all this, let them 90 into every
county town and village in the State, with
the constitution Of our beloved country in
their hands, calling upon all national men to
support that constitution and protect it against
Know Nothingism and Abolitionism, and
leave all Know Nothing demagogues to rant
and shake their heads as mucn as they please
and be replied to only by the sobs. sighs and
wsilings of widows and orphans, which arc
borne to our cans by every Southern breeze.

The Evansville Enquirer and Major
,ssFsst Fa0ett.


The Es,efss5ssse ISsqlazes very uniustly and
unreasonably finds fault with the appoint
ment of Major PuErT as Canal Trustee. The
Enquirer stands alone in its objections; for,
SO far as we know, the press, both Democratic
and Fusion express entire satisfaction. Major
Puett's recommendations, from all parts of
the State, are on file and they are the most
numerous and complete of any.
When in Office before, he performed its
duties we'll and faithfully. Local considera-
tions should not and did not Influence the
Governor Nor is Evansville alone interested
in the work it is matter of public concern to
the whole State. The insinuation thrown
out by the Enquirer is unworthy of that
paper, because it is uncandid.
