Delaware weekly Republican. [volume] (Wilmington, Del.) 1841-188?, 1857-04-02

No oRaAE.-The Washington correspondent
Of the North american says that the Presideni
has put his foot down--and II ia o siibstantial
and sensible foOt-in regard to tho organising
II he wants an organ for amusement, rowing
italian who understands currency, il he DOM
English, can be called in. But he cannot, and |
will not. tolerate regular, duly, dutifn |
and dabbling organ. MIR. Appleton'a music |
did his ancient heart good. 1t suited biz tastes |
soothed his political sorrows, and occasionally |
encouraged his slumbers. Now that he ia TO |
go, 1t matters little who ii to handle the keys.
One thing is certain-for the time being lett
be understood-that Mr.. Buchanan will have
nothing to do with appointing an editor for tic
Union. In fact, appointments are getting to be
us troublesome rs the grippe. They disorder
his digestion, they disturb his repose, they
wrinkle his brow they invade his sanctities. and
they absorbshis reflections. Now and Thea whom
he makes fortunate hit, like tho redot btable
Rynders, or the illustrious Sanders, or the gas
tronomic Mckibbin, he feels better; but then
relapses will recur, and all the qualification
gets scattered, like spilled milk, over which
there is no use crying. No wonder 1t IS rifles"
him, to be approached about non official ap-
pointment, like that Of an organ-grinder. He
tells the propretors they may take whom they
please, and whenever the tune IL good, why
the dimes WILDE forthcoming from the Depart
ments. The Treasury Is full, and Uncle Sam
can afford u jig occasionally.
The jobbers, contracts, and Lobbyists, who
| own tho Union, rejoice with exceeding Joy over
this decision. They see the way to the vaults
Of Cr@sus Cobb perfectly clear, and, with the
persuasive influence of the half million or more
already pillaged, they have u strong ''moral
conviction" that the human nature Of tho last
Congress Will not b0 essentially changed at the
next. They are ready in the future, as in the
past, for coalition with Black Republicans,
white Know Notliags or any other political
complexion that may offer chance of success;
and as for investing committees, they care not
a fig for them, as long as India rubber can
stretch from the pocket to the conciereo.
FINE FURNITuRE.-Iti is said that in bis lee
ture on ''Alind yonr own business" DR.. Magoon
relates the following story;
young man went from New York city to
the West where he commenced business on his
own account, and married. His tIen,te Ia the
city were interested n his welfare, and when o
merchant was about to journey to the place
where the young man had located, he was re-
quested to visit the emigrant, and ascertain
how he lived, what sort Of u wife he hadchosen
h prospects, &c. Accordingly the New
| Yorker ascert lined the residence of his young
friend and called upon him quito early in the
| morning. lie found him in small, neat cot.
tage, and just taking his breakfast. The intro.
duction OF the New Yorker to his wife was quite
ofi-hand and unceremonious, and he vas ro-
Yuested TO De seated and partake OF the morn.
ing meal The young wife had prepared the
steak, biscuit and coffee with her own hands
and for table had used her kneading board
over which napkin was spread and the'boardi
placed OH her lap. The New Yorker declined
a seat at table, and took his leave. On making
his report TO his New York friends as 10 how
he found his young friend living, he described
the style as ''magniicent !"-and for tho ex.
