to receive criminals and paupers yet We win vel
come those whom they may convert into political
refugees. They are resolved to purge their own
States Of dangerous and worthless characters and
toforee them upon Us il one shape Or another.
But they win not succeed if the American party
should obtain the control Of the government Of
which Neentertain no doubt Such Law WilIthen

STRENGTH Or 90 ALERIcAN PARTY

ton is the backbone Of the new secret orier;''
ana gives in evidence an article published By the
Worcester Evening Journal. The order IN.
doubtedly ccntains aboIitionsts as well a. slave.
holders; but neither aboItionism nor slavery are
incorporated among the principles Of the order.
On the contrary, the members 81 the American
party recognise no sectional divisions Or distinc-
tons, but adhere to the Constitution as It Is, re-
solved to repudiate everything which is not cali
culated to promote the durability Of the Union,
and The prosperity Of the whole country. AS !
means Of security and future prosperity, they
consider II Indispensable that there Be either
a total repeal or material change ii the natural
ization laws, 50 that all foreign influence may
be destroyed, and the government the nation
be administered On American principles. And
whether Americans be elected at the North Or
the South; at the East or the West, the princi-
PIES b which they viii be governed win Be the
same. Our fathers, in whatever sections of the
country born, got on harmoniously a the fight
for liberty, and under the system Of government
which their united wisdom devised; and it's not
doubted that the American party which Is now
sweeping everything before II in the country,
viii be able e administer public affairs with ike
affection and unanimity, however Il may please
either abOlitionists d pro-sIavery men to mis-
represent their views At least the country
seems disposed to trust them with power.

LAMARTINE ON NATIONAL GRAT1rupE.
Dumas, in a late number of his Nousquet-
aare, called up "reminiscences of the liter
airy and political services of Lamartine.
After enumerating some of these services,
Dumas said, "this man had, as writer,
given so many services to his country that
his cotemporaries had only one way Of
paying their debt to him-by ingratitudo
to him. This is the view often taken by
by public servants, but Lamartine looks
upon the matter in cifferent light He
says: 'I have experienced none, and if I
had l should blush to remember it. In
my opinion our country sufficiently recon-
penses one of her children by permitting
him to serve her. She is like the Divini-
ty--we owe her all, and she owes us moth

Men TO be Pitied.

Know you man so dis truStful and cold
That he'll live out his life without gaining friend :;
Constantly toiliny for silver and gold
That he pledges himself he never wiltspcnd?
Pity him
Know you a heart, confding and warm,
Where the flame of affection steadily burns;
For whom neither silver gold hath a chnrm
But who spends every year far more than he earns'
rity him
Know you man who is striving for power,
Who is ceaselessly toilinC for wealth for fame,
And goading himself each day and each hour,
That few of his fellows may hear Of hs name ?
Pity him
Know you another, quite careless of fame,
Neither longing for wealth yearnng for power
Thoughtlcss alike of his fate and his name,
And wantonly squand ring each day and each hour
Pity him
Know you another, both prudent and kind,
Who long liv'd to do good and made many friend:
Who has all his life long kept peace in his mind,
And for whom is rcsery'd greater peace at his end?

MEN Our OF Work IN New YORK


The York Journal Of Commerce says:
GAS great difference exists in the cstl-
mate Of the number of persons out of work
who have joined in the several professions,
we lay before the public the results of an
actual count. On the day of the first pro-
cession last week, it was counted as it
turned out of Wall into Broad street, and
was composed of 90 men marching in reg
ular ranks, and evidently accustomed to
military drill ; and of an irregular squad
much less numerous, but far less easy to
count, which did not exceed 20. On
Monday last the procession was counted
as it issued from Washington Square. Ex-
elusive of the marshals, and man in su-
perine broadcloth, patent leather boots,
and kid gloves, who brought up the rear
the number was ,565.'

Replied the angel. Abou spoke more low
But cheerly still and said pray thee then

NEVADA, Feb, %, 1850
EDITOR Journal:
The following suggestions you can insert in
your paper or stove as you think best:
No person present at the late fire on Broad
street could have failed to observe that great
deal of energetic labor was unprofitably ex-
pended, and much valuable time lost for the
want of suitable implements and systematic
acton. Instead of the indiscriminatc pulling
and hauling which there was, there should be
four hooks turned upon the ends of short iron
rods, and SO constructed as to be readily dis
connected from the ropes 4; those in charge of
the ropes could then attach them to the build
ings in such manner as to haul them at once
to the ground, and to any required distance
from the fire. The noise and confusion that
necessarily attend o fire render it impossible
for those who are at work at the building to
instruct or direct those who are at distance
working upon the ropes, and SO heavy and un'
wieldly are the poles now in use, that it is al
most impossible to place the hook where it
will be of service, especially when several hun
dred men are swaying upon the rope attached
to it. With hooks made as | have described
and in the hands Of men acquainted with the
construction Of buildings, the work Of demol-
ition would be much more promptly and easi-
ly effected. The cost of these implements
would be but trfe, and the advantage re-
sulting from their use would be incalculablc.-
Nevada at the best exists but by suferance,
and should high wind chance to accompany
fire, the best directed efforts to save the town
might prove futile; in view of these circum-
stances would suggest that meeting be call
ed, a company organized, and whatever is nee
essary, procured against future exigencies.
The cost would scarely be felt by each house
holder and their possession would be an in
surance and protection to the town.
