A Little too Punctual.
A Steamboat Sketch.

The hour was approaching for the departure of the New Haven steamboat from her berth at New York, and the usual crowd of passen- gers and friends of passengers, newsboys fruit vendors, cabmen and dock oafers were assem- bled on and about the boat We were gazing at the motley group, from the foot of the pro- menade deck stairs, when our attention was at- tracted by the singular action of tall brown Yankee, in an immense wool hat chocolate col ored coat and pantaloons, and fancy vest He stood near the starboard paddle box, and scrutlnized sharply every female that came on board, every now and then consulting an enor nous silver bulls eye watch, which he raised from the depths of a capacious fob, by means of powerful steel chain. After mounting guard in this mnnner, he dashed furiously down the gang plank and up the wharf, reap bearing on board almost simultaneously, with a fusbed face, expressing the most intense anx- iety. This series of operations he performed several times after which he rushed about the boat, wildly and hopelessly circulating:
 What's the time of day Wonder if my repeater's fast? Whars the cap'n? whars the steward? whar's the mate? whar's the boss that owns this ship?"
 Whats the matter, sir?" we ventured to

 No party yet has been so severe in its disci- pline towards its members; instead of mitigat ing the bitterness of party prescription, it be- comes more proscriptive than any of its prede- cessors-not only prescribing Catholics and fo- relgners, but native born ProtestantS who refuse to join their organization, or who leave them in obedience to their sense of duty, and the exer- else of their privilege of freemen. This they do without regard to qualification, and 1t is said the members are directed to refuse to take the papers of men who dcnOunce and oppose them by order of the State and national councils.- This certainly squintS very strong at the few governing the many.
 Give me then the old democratic party and l am satistied--which is in my humble opinion, the only national party now in exiStence.- The Whig party is gone in the way of its pre- decessors, and know nottingham is essentially sectional, changing its hues from the air through which it passes, gathering in its folds .he dis affected of localities who have everything to gain and nothing to loose by becoming mem bC'S.
 have now given you my views in nasty and imperfect manner upon this party as 1t has developed itself to me, which hope will sa- tisiy you of the sincerity of declarations upon the subject of our resolutions, and that have no inclination to surrender cherished democra- tic principles for any other party.
 There is nothing n my expunging resolutions inconsistent with the declarations in this letter in them 1 affirm my devotion to "unrestrict- ed religious Hberty," and my opposition to se- cret societies, and demanded proof that poli- tical party was abolitonzed before would de- nounce them for that sin.
 l am now satisfied of the identity of aboli- tionism with northern know nottingham. Had that fact been established at that time, the only reason gave for opposing your resolutions and int. .oducing mine would not have existed, and no opposition would have been offered by me to the passage of your resolutions, except the language in which some of the ide;ts were conveyed.
 have upon this, Gas do upon all su6jects,) waited for the developments of proof by the acts of the party, before the formation of a de- cided opinion. 1 have now given you my con- clusions, without the hope of reward or the fear of punishment--as ask no political station at the hands of any political party. With those who honestly differ with me up- on this subject, (and there are some of the best men of the State, who, fear, have lost sight of the national tendency of this party, in order to correct some of the evils which exist in this State,) 1 have no cause of quarrel; but 1 have only exercised the right conceded to them, to think and act for myself--holding myself re- sponsbe alone to God and my country, for the soundncss and correctness of my conclusions l am, respectfully your friend,

MIR. FILLMORE IN IRELAND AND AMERICA VERY FUNNY.-By our last advices from Ire- land, we perceive that Mr. ex-President Fill more had been received at the lakes of Killar- ney in the most exquisite style of Irish hospi- tality. Among other things, as he came out ono day to look at the scenery, he was agreed bly, smitten by the bugers stationed among the hills playing "Yankee " Doodle" In fact, the ex- President seems to have been making in the Emerald Isle a splendid electioneering cam paign for the Irish vote; while at the same time the New York Express, and other rabid or gans of excessive nativism, who believe all the Irish at home and abroad, to be involved in conspiracy with Archbishop Hughes and the Pope, for the overthrow of our own blood bought institutions, have proclaimed MT. Fill more as the very man of all men for carrying out the doctrine of0merica for the Americans, and any other country for the Irish. On Mir. Fillmore's return, our Irish fellow citizens will probably give him public dinner, in honor of his travels among the old folks at home."-- What funny thing it would be!

'' congratulate you your glorious uictory'-JNdVo rbce'S speech

 The bloody work was done, And Samue'' at his cottage door
 Was sitting in the sun; And by him sitting on a stool, His little grand child, William Pool.* They saw the dead, with ghasty wounds
 And limbs burnt off borne by And then old Sam he shook his head,
 And with holy sigh, " They're only DMch and Irish, said he, " Who tW in tie great uictOry" "Now tell me what 'twas all about.'
 Young William Poole he cries, While looking in his grandad's face
 With wonder waiting eyes "Now tell me all about the war, And what they killed the Irish for.'' "They were know nothings," Samuel cried,
 "Who put them all to route; But what they shot and burned them for,
 I could not well make out" "But Mayor Barbee said," quoth he, " That 't10as glorious victOry!" " he Dutch and IrSh llVeu m peace,
 Ton slvery stream hard by; The Hindoos burnt their dwellings down,
 And they were forced to fly; So with their wives and children fled, Nor had they where to rest their head' "With fire and guns the city round
 Was wasted far and wide; And many an Irish mother then,
 And new born baby died; But things like that you know must be At A7aot0 nothing victory.'" "They say it was shocking sight,
 After the day was won For twenty bloody corpses there
 Lay rotting in the sun; But things like that you know, must De, After c k,aoao notiing victory!" "Great glory George D. Prentice won,
 And also Captain Stone;' "Why, twas very wicked thing"

AFFAIRS IN KANsAs.-A letter to the St. Louis Republican, dated Alton, August 24th, says:
 A gentleman just from Kansas territory states that all is quiet and prosperous up there and that he could hardly realize any trouble respect ing the territory until he got here and read the abolition papers. He says Gov Shannon will be received with hearty welcome, and if he works tremendously, not attempting to override everything, n0lens vOlens, all will be we'll He thinks the extremities of both north and south have about run the length of their rope, and the great mass.of citizens up there are quiet take things coolly, and only desire that the country be made free to emigration to people from all the States, and that the majority of the voters-true substantial citizeus-shall decide the slavery question, when Kansas comes in as a State. The recent death penalties enacted by the Legislature, which have been heralded so loudly by papers in the free States are not laws until signed by Gov. Shannon, and the probability is that they will be referred to com mittees, and softened down. They were in- tended as means to keep of abolitionism from the Missouri border-as one extreme to meet another The people of Kansas and Missouri are steadfast in endorsing and carrying out the true principles of the Nebraska bill, popular sovereignty, and are not to be judged of by past events occasioned by extremists of either S6n

 HORRIBLE MURDER.-Our county has been the scene of terrible and brutal murder. On Saturday last man by the name of John Leper, assaulted and killed Peter Doolin a we'll known citizen of this county. ltappears that at a shooting match that took place at Chalfn prairie, on that day. Leper and Doolin, got into a quarrel over game called "chuckleluck," when Leper drew a revolver and fired two shots at Doolin, one ball taking off finger and the other passing through his lungs, causing almost instant death. The strangest part of the oc- curence is, that out of the twenty or thirty men that were present, there were none who had presence of mind enough to arrest the murderer After the crowd had recovered from the shock occasioned by the commission of the deed, they mounted their horses and pursued, but up to date without success
 Since writing the above Leper has been ta- ken. He captured at St. Mary's landing, by Austin James, and other citizens, whose names we have not learned. He was brought to this place and lodged in jail.- Waterloo (IA) Patriot.

WASHINGTON, Nov. Is.


They arc working up a smart war fever here,
which may be famed into flame, somehow, by the
time Congress meets.
The Union, Government organ,) of this morning,
has fierce article, by way OF rejonder to the Lon
don Times. 1t speaks OF its recent TRADE, in refer
ence TO the West India feet, 'insult to the
United States, but the Union does not think the
'Thunderer" reflects the sentiments of the British
people.
The rejonder to the Times is said to be ''by au-
thority."
But more important than newspaper editorials
is the fact that Commodore Paulding has been sec
ected being regarded by the Secretary of the Navy
as prudent officer, to visit San Juan de Nicaragua
with his flag ship Potomac. lie was closeted with
the Secretary Of War this afternoon relative the
course to be pursued by him in that quarter
Notwithstanding the avowed innocent objects of
the British feet just despatched to the West Indies
the movement is regarded here with indigndtioi
if not as an incpient step towards hostile act and
hence additional orders have been sent to the naval
stations TO day, by the Navy Department. in refer
ence TO preparations.
