The salary paid many of the natives is
SO small as hardly sufficient to enable

The editor of the Greenville (South
Carolina) Patriot, amost uncompromi-
sing Democratic paper, pays the fol-
lowing deserved compliment to Millard
Fillmore:
"EX-PREsIDENT FILLMORE.--This
distinguished statesman and pure patri-
OF has been nominated for the Presi-
dency by the National Know-Nothing
Convention in Philadelphia. We re-
joice at the nomination, tn ough we do
not expect to support it. We rejoice
on the principle that an honorable
man likes to have gentleman for his
opponent. There is another feeling
which gives us joy, and it is, if the
Democratic party should be defeated,
there is not a man in the United States
we would prefer to see heading the de-
feat, and enjoying the success offs such q
victory, to Millard Fillmore. He is a
gentleman, patriot, and statesman
of ability, soaring above all sectional
considerations in the administration of
the government. In his hands we
should feel that the Union, the Consti-
tuition, the rights of the States, and the
rights of the South, were safe"
The Patriot, after expressing its de-
termination to support the Democratic
candidate for the Presidency, adds:
of successful, we shall bo proud of
our our success, and if defeated by
President Fillmore, we shall not mourn
or grieye over our defeat. In regard
to the Know Nothings, we begin to
think that good may come out of Naza,
reth."

An item for Boerybody-Remitting
Money. notwithstanding all our eau
ton, and the particular instructions we
have published on the subject, We con-
stantly open letters which profess to
have enclosed money, and no money is
there. We must enjoin upon persons
sending for the Weekly Sun, or enclo-
sing money for any purpose, to take
effective measures to secure it. Coin
should either be enclosed in split card
and the card sealed at the edges-or
pasted over with another piece of pa
per to the inside of the letter; or care
fully wrapped over and over in corner
OF the letter; or in some other way be
made secure. To stick a gold dollar to
the paper with wafer is no security at
all. 1t is displaced, in all probability,
before it reaches the first mail station,
and then either works out of the enve-
lope or invites an experiment for its
removal. We urge upon all particular
care and attention to this matter.

PRINCELY MUNIFICENCE.

Peter Cooper, Esq, is erecting a
massive cdifice, $50 feet square, and 6
stories high, at the junction of the
Third and Fourth Avenues, New York,
" for the advancement of Science and
Art" He is building it at his own
expense, fire-proof, with the utmost
care, and at cost of several hundred
thousand dollars the direction of the
whole to be ultimately placed in
Board of Trustees, and the entire in
come of such parts of the building as
may be rented, to be devoted to the
support of the institution. No charges
are to be made for instruction, and it
is to be open to all young men of cor
rect moral habits. The costly Offering
is not to be made to the city of New
York, nor to a Board of Trustees, APP
pointed by the Legislature. Mr..
Cooper's design is more comprehen-
sive. 1t will prove to be little less
than University, admirably located,
in the immediate vicinity of the Astor
Library, and with an endowment that
will produce 100000 a year. The
entire cost to Mr.. Cooper will probably
reach half a million of dollars, which
he has the satisfaction of appropriat-
ing for the benefit of young men, desi-
rous of making superior attainments in
science and art.

The family of John Lewis were tho
first settlers of Augusta, in the State Of
Virginia, and consisted of himself, his
wife and -four sons, Thomas, William,
Andrew and Charles. OF these the
first three were born in Ireland, from
whence the family came, and the last
was native of Virginia. .....

He'd the country accompanied by par.

With languid lip and eye; .-s
No tear for him had yet been shed,
Tho' he was doomed to die:
No friends had he, alas! no wife
To weep around him now,
Almost he was alone In life
Despair was TN his brow.
One morn sought his bed, and oh! ,..
A touching scene was there;
scene that filed my soul with woe
Asoene ofdark despair; So, .a.
A little girl, his only child,
Stood gazing in his eye,
OFT crying out in accents Wild
{" Dear father will you die -
The dying father turned his head,
To gaze upon her charms:
tear upon her cheek he shed,
And casped her in his arms;
He strove to speak in tender tone,
And while in grief she cried
I" Dear father, leave me not alone,''
he groaned-and wept-and died.
To potter's field saw him borne, ....
TO lie beneath the sod .- ..... .
There was but one for him to mourn,
And there to break the clod. ...
No funeral pomp. no funeral prayer,
No funeral emblems wave;
One little girl alone stood there
And wept upon his grave. ..-
Had he possessed of gold a store,
He might have been a knave; ..
Yet hundreds would have found his dosr,
And followed to his grave; a. u|.
And thus 1t is, and was of old ...

BASE FORGERY,


The Washington Union, the lying
apologist Of Frank. Pierce and defamer
general of the American cause, pub
lished few days ago the following
card, with its congratulations to Mr..
iiallcck ''upon his escape from the
darkness and bondage Of Know-No-
thingism!'
- WASHINGTON, April 8, 1856.
10 the Editor Of the Union:
Dear Sir: [ wish to inform the
public and notify the world that I have
Withdrawn from the Know-Nothings,
and shall henceforth act with the Dem
ocratic party. / was in by-gone days
a member of the Wing party; but
when that party was disbanded / left,
and joined the self-styled American
party. Satisfied that they are acting
against the constitution of our country,
l have taken this manner to notify
them that hereafter intend to redeem
myself and support the laws of our
country as they are.
JNO. r. HALLECK.
1t appears that the above is base
and most yillainous forgery. In the
Amerfcan Oryan,' Mr.. Halleck sets
the matter right, the Union having
flatly refused to publish his refutation
OF the, falsehood and exposure Of the
forgery. Mr., III. replies as follows:
A FABRICATION.

pear in print upon any subject, but

also a member Of the American party.
As yet | have seen nothing in either

hllation. 70 the forger Of the note to
You, | wish no other harm than the
compunctions visitings of his own con-
science, if he has any left, and to you,
IN return for your good wishes, pray
