An Honest Conclusion.

The lette r of Humphrey Marshall
which is spread before the people by the
Fillmore papers is a sample of the whin-
ing. begging, temporizing, Iimpractica-
bic, one-idea patriotism Of the day. A
young friend, who bad curiosity enough

those insurmountable obstacles to clear
demonstration. The efforts is to beg

s.If Mr.. Buchanan were Withdrawn or
abandoned, Mr.. FilImore's election would
be triumphant and most easy Of accom-
plishment. Were Mr.. Blu
chan abandoned by the Slave States, he
(Mr. F.) would carry New York, be-
yond any doubt"
Take sample from the Richmond
Wig:
"The conclusion Of the whole matter,

Enow.SothingIsm and Sleep.

We have been sadly exercised in mind
to know what to do with . set Of imprac-
ticabl fellows called the Fillmore party
in Virginia. AS the fates have given
them over irreyersibly into our manage
ment. we have been trying to find some
thing useful or ornamental for them to
do, to discover what aptitude and pro-
clivities they have. "A sect Of philoso-
pliers have believed that warfare is the
natural condition Of man another that
pleasure, another that suicide, and an
other hat sleeping is his chief end
The solution to our difficulty is found in
the philosophy Of the two latter sects,
The Fillmoe party Of Virginia have 9

markable talent for sleeping. To. resist
their tendency TO- The former. we recon-
mend them to take 20 the latter. In fact
we know some members Of, this party in
our own village, who can do their duty to
society better in their night-caps than in
the toga. Their talents are of the som
nolont order. Sleep is becoming TO them.
They can do nothing SO well as.they can
sleep Everything else they do awk-
wardly and fantasticly. When they are
asleep, they are more amiable, mose
agreeable, more useful, more sensible
Sleeps their true vocation.
But theyEtalk about their responsible
ty to society keeping them awake. They
are not made to bear responsibility. or. in
fact, anything else that is weighty. II
Providence had intended them to bear
responsibility, he would not have made
their knees 20 weak, their back SO
plant, and their principles SO supple, =
They are worring themselves very I'm
necessarily by keeping awake on this ac-
count. The Democratic Party intend to
take care of them, at all events and we
can assure them that their affairs will be
better managed under anybody's super
intendence than under their own.SH
TWAS great Hunder in their last plat
form to ignore the great doctrine Of sleep:
Sleep was the only thing the party needed;
and sleep was the only thing stupid that
was left out Of the platform. 1t was the
tragedy of Hamlet with the character of
Hamlet omitted. Weadvise them to con-
vene a convention, and adoptfthe senti-
ment, "Now | lay me down to sleep" as a
platform, instead Of Americans must
rule America" Sleep would reform the
government quite as much as warfare on
foreigners and roasting Catholics j; the
body polite needs sleep more than tor
ture. Besides, on this platform, the pro
cess of initiating converts would be very
much simplifed. They could run the
Editor of popular newspaper not very
far off as the candidate for the Presiden-

off, to advocating his claims, who would
