GEORGE LAw.-The New York Herald

time since an aspirant for the Presidency:
The question, then, recurs, what is the
policy of alive Oak George!" lie has but
one chance of escape from being laid upon the
shelf among the geological specimens Of
some old curiosity shop; but that chance is n
glorious one. Let this sub sol! Know Nothing
Convention of his nominate him rs their
Presidential candidate, not for 1856, but for
1860, right away, and we shall at once pro.
cure a large sized shad barrel, tight and
strong, in which to salt him down for the
next campaign. We have a high respect for
"Live Oak George" but let him take care how
he engineers this Convention of his, and mind
the curves and gradients of the road, or he
may run the whole train off the High Bridge,
head over heels, into Harlem river.

JOHN c. BREcKENRiDGE.-The Democratic
nominee for the Presidency is thus personally

nominee for the Presidency is thus personally
described by the Cincinnati Commercial:
He is tall and gracefully formed young
man, with delicate features, and would be
singularly handsome il his profile line was
more prominent. Looking at him sideways,
and his forehead, nose and shin, are nearly in
n straight line. But his eye beams with in.
telligence, his nose is handsome in outline,
and the habtual compression of his lips in
dicates resolute will. On the whole there
is poetic glinmer about him. And that
there is something of this in his character, the
fact that he has purchased an island in Lake
Superior for a summer home would indicate.
His manner in speaking is proud, defiant, and
full of passion, tempered by educated dis
erection.

We had the pleasure yesterday of meeting
our friend, Gen. Gadsdcn, en- route for Wash
ington. We are pleased to find his health
restored, and that he looks well. lie in
forms US that he thinks the prospect for Il
stable government now exists, and that
Comonfort has been able to effect, in relation
n the army and church, what no other ruler
has been able to do.
He also mentioned having negotiated a
postal treaty with Mexico, which gives us n
line of steamers under the joint fig, with
special commercial advantages, stopping at
all the Gulf ports to deliver the mail. This
somewhat anticipated the recommendations
of the Cincinnati Convention, and will be
of much service to us commercially.

OCCUPATIONS OF THE AMERIcANs.-The census
returns of the occupations Of the people of
the United States are curious and instructive.
The number of BARRIERS and brokers is about
the same, and between the two, people get
well shaved. There are about eighty profess
ed doctors to one professional undertaken
Only eighty.two people Informed the census
takers that they were authors" while no
less thar two thousand individuals assumed
to be ARTISTS" There are one hundred thou
SAND blacksmiths, and the same number of
merchants. The lawyers outnumber the
bakers by ten thousand, there being twenty
four thousand of the former and fourteen
thousand of the latter. The matters and the
tobacconists are about equal in number
The carpenters number two hundred thou
sand; the masons sixty.four thousand; the
tailors fifty thousand; the wheelwrights thirty
thousand; the saddlers twentythree thou
sand. There are more confectoners than
watchmakers; more weavers than teachers;
more vinegar makers than showmen; and the

Strange to relate, that among the returns OF
the trades, not a politician is enumerated;
and the tables of the professions do not in

MAJ. BUFFoRD's MES DESERVING TO THE
FREE STATE MEN.-I'he Kansas Herald Of
Freedom says that thirty Of Buford's men
have left him and joined the Free State men.
That paper assigns the following as the rea-
son Of these mems desertion Of Buhord:
Several boxes of guns were given to Buff
ford's party at New Orleans. They brought
them as far as Lexington unopened. There
Maj. BuffoId commenced distributing them
among his party, requiring, however, note
OF $40 from each individual, payable in one
year, in default of which the rifle should be
returned Numbers of the party refused to
give their notes, and of course received no
shooiing-irons. Bufford next demanded that
each man should take an oath to hold himself
in readiness to do his bidding, and be sub
seryient to his purposes, for one year after
their arrival in KansaI Many demurred, but
finally made the oath reluctantly. Thirty
noble spirited men refused to bind their fu-
ture conduct in any such manner, and assert
ed and maintained their Independence, in
spite of circumstances and threats.

RIvER--The river at this point is stationary
with about ten inches on French Island, and
twenty inches from this place to Cairo. At
Cincinnati, on Saturday, the river had swollen
from two to three inches the result Of the re-
cent swell at Plttsburg. The Mississippi and
Missouri continue low The St. Louis Re-
Publican of Saturday says:
The river continuese extremely low. and we
may say is not navigable at all for steamboats,.
This protracted suspension of river navigation
is serious drawback to business, and the
embarrassments experienced in the various
branches of tarde, are of course increasing as
