The mOsuuito king.

In his lecture on Nicaragua, at the Iyceum Hall
on Monday night, DR.. Mclean gave an amusing
count of interview he once had with tho young
Mosquito King who was dressed in the full costume
of his country to wit: a straw het and cigar. The
young sovereign said that his father, the old King
Bob, was very drunk when he sold his lands to
Capt. Sheppard, Of Greytown, and that therefore
the grant sale was not valid. This is the grant
which Col Kinney has purchased and under which
he claims a vast region of territory. 1t is about
as valid as the English claim to Greytown and the
Mosquito coast, and neither party appears to have
consulted the government OF Nicaragua, the only
real and undoubted owner.
This old King Bob, by the way, was a curiosity.
He was excessively fond OF rum and tobacco, in
which he was supplied by the English from Jamaica.
About the time the latter first began 10 turn their
serious attention the acquisition Of territory in
Central America, King George the third sent his
sable brother richly Ornamented generals coat
and cooked hat. King Bob was excessively de-
lighted with his present. and took every occasion to
exhibit himself IN his new dress. The captain OF
the English war vessel which conveyed the present,
wishing to do honor to the recipient Of his soVers
egn's bounty, gave entertainment on board aud
invited King Bob and his court TO be present.
The latter came, aud as they approached the
vessel, the Captain was grathed to perceive that
King Bob dressed in the coat and hat he had
Just received. But what was the astonshmenI
aud CONSERVATION Of all to perceive, when he
boarded the vessel, that he had nothing else on.
The ludierous appearance which the old Indian must
have presented dressed in richly laced red coat
with the tail hanging down behind, and full plum
ed cooked hat, and no other article whatever, can
be better imagned than described. HIS court oil
course, wore 0uy the usual straw haL--h. D. Pie

The nomination gives better illustration Of
Americanism than all the platforms have given
Washington Union.
Aye, than any platform can give 1t is
an Il" illustration" of the patriotism, con
serVatism, and Unionism that give tone
and emphasis to the American Party. The
administration of Willard Fillmore forms
one Of the most glorious eraS in the politi
cal history of this Republic; and will al
ways be regarded by the patriotic masses
with emotions of the lveliest satisfaction
Succeeding to the Presidency at a time
when agitation growing out of slavery is
sues had infamed the public mind, and
fanatics, North and South, taking advan
tage of the condition of things, were seek
ing to effect disruption of the government
at time when the misrepresentation Of
his enemies in the South, who had endeav
ored to fix upon him the brand of Adolf
tionism, caused him to be viewed with dis.
trust and fOrebodings of evil-he cast aside
all local and sectional feelings and preju.
dices, and became the President of the
whole nation, discharging his duties 'hon.
estly, faithfully and conscientiously." The
very first act of his administration was to
withdraw from the Senate batch of Abo-
lition nominations that President Taylor
had, upon the recommendation of that
arch agitator Seward, sent to the Senate
for confirmation; and during his whole
term, his conduct was such as to bring upon
his head the bitterest curses and impreca-
tions of Abolitionists every where. But
the browning glory of his administration
that which will make it ever memorable for
its nationality was the support he gave
the distinguished statesmen, Wings and
Democrats, who sustained the Compromise
Measures which gave peace to the country,
and crushed out the fanaticiSm of that pc.
Rod. The nomination of such true and
tried statesman, by the American Party,
is truly an ILLUSTRATION of the wisdom
and nationality of the counSels that prompt.
ed the policy. We thank Mr.. Nicholson
for the word. The people of the United
States will, also, thank him. And when
he hereafter stOOpS to the level of the
"peddler for Office" and as his columns in,
dictate he is about to, drags from the infa.

signed it, the charge of abolitioniSm against
Mr.. Fillmore, a look of scorn and con,
tempt will greet him upon the face of every
honest man in the Union.

EVacfIY So.

The American party are the first in the field,
with an unexceptionabe candidate, and there
is really no use in the Democrats putting up
one, unless they really want to elect Black
Republican Richmond Wing.
The Sag NIGHTS would prefer the election
of sectional candidate to any conservative
American. They have lived on sectional ag-
tation, and are determined to make that the
issue in the coming contest. The Richmond
Enquirer and the Washington Union have
already foreshadowed this course of policy.
Ii there is any sincerity 10 their professions of
love for the Union, it can only be proven by
adopting the suggestion of the Wing, for a
love for the Union will certainly demand OF
them sacrifice of their partisan feelings, and
as the Washington Union has already endorsed
Mr. DonelsOn's Democracy, they had better
hoist the names of Fillmore and DOnelsOn and
thus etfectually "crush out" fanaticism and
sectionalsm, and attest their devotion to the
Union, -OTQdn.

MIR. Fillmore Abroad.

correspondent from Rome, under date of
the 25th Jan. writes as follows of ex. president
Fillmore:
The Hon. Willard Fillmore left here to-day
for Naples, after having been for nearly four
weeks the pride of every American in Rome,
and the cause of unfeigned admiration on the
part of every European with whom he came
IN contact. Such specimen of American re-
publicanism does more honor 20 our institutions
than all the diplomatic agents we have lately
had to represent official opinions abroad. am
a Democrat, aud no partizan of Mr. Fillmore's
particular views of politics; but | know that
there is not man in the land whose elevation
to the highest office ia the gift OF the American
people would go further to restabllsh peace and
good will towards the United States, and, at
the same time, insure the respect that we have
a right to claim from every civilized country,
than his, and | know, even as Il Democrat,
worse calamities that might befall the United
States than his election to the Presidency.
Mr.. Fillmore has, during his short stay in
Europe, visited England, Ireland and Scotland
he has seen all the German States, including
Prussia and Austria lie has made prolonged
stay in France and Italy, ard is about to visit
Egypt aud the Holy Land, Turkey, and in all
probability the seat of war. lie will return TO
the United States IN the month of June, richly
stored with historical and statistical iuiorma-
ton, and as good judge of European govern
ments, their errors and their crimes, as any
person in the land; while, at at the same time,
he will be better able TO judge of the present
condition of Europe and the world than most
men, not having enjoyed the same advantages
Having been removed from the busy scenes of
political strife aud faction at home, he will
return in better temper, aud with cooler jndg-
ment than most OF the leading candidates,
whose principal stock in trade consists in
efficient partizsushiP, aud service rendered to
mere factions.

Important 20 nirers OF sIavc,.

The Supreme Court Of Tennessee at its last
term 10 Nashville, decided that the hrer of a
slave had no right to re-hire him without the
consent of the owner, aud il he did 81, tbs
owner might treat it rs conversion OF the
negro and recover from the hirer the whole
value Of the slave.
They also decided that slave hired in Ten
nessee, by person residing here, could not be
carried out OF the State, and that il the hirer
AEd owner lived In the same county, the pre-
sumption would be that the slave was 10 re-
main in the county, aud could not be removed
from the county. Soif hirer remove slave
from the State or county, or re-hire him with
out the permission of the owner, aud any ae-
eident happens to the slave subsequently, the
hirer viii be made TO pay the whole value Of

Popular Lies.

Rev. Z. II. Chaplin, in his lecture before the
Boston Mercantile Library Association last
week, upon practical Life" hit off one of the
popular vices of society-lying-in a very eff
fective manner, as appears from the report in
the TraOeler, from which we copy couple of
paragraphs:
"Lies of action are blood relation to lies of
speech, and oral lies constitute a small share
of the falsehOods in the world. There are lies
of custom and lies of fashion; lies of padding
and lies of whalebone lies of the first water in
diamonds of paste, and unblushing bushes of
lies to which a shower woud give quite diff
ferent complexion; the politicians lies, who, like
circus rider, strides two horses at once; the
cOquette's lies, who, like professor Of leger-
demain, keeps six plates dancing at a time; lies
sandwched between bargains; lies in livery
behind republican coaches, in all the pomp of
gold band and buttons; lies of red tape and
sealing wax; lies from the lannon's mouth; lies
in the name OF glorious principles that might
make dead heroes clatter in the graves; Mala-
koffs of lies, standing upon sacred dust, and
lifting their audaciOus pinnacles in the light OF
the eternal Heaveni
Need we say what an uneasy, slavish vani-
ty was that which won't let man appear as
he really is, but makes him afraid of the world
and himself, and so keeps him perpetually at
work with subterfuges and shams. He is dis
satisfied with Natures charter, and SO issues
false stock. Oh, how much better for himse
and the world for man to be true, what God
and unavoidable circumstances have made
him-to come out and dare say am poor, OF
humble birth, of humble occupation, or don't
know much What cure this righteousness
would be for social rOtteness and financial
earthquakes. How much sweeter and purer
these actual rills of capacity and possession
than this great brackish river of pretension,
blown with bubbles, aud evaporating with gas
how much better than this splendid misery,
these racks and thumb-screws that belong to
the inQuisition of fashion, and thousands OF
shabby things, the shabbiest of all being those
too proud to seem just what they are"
