A WORD TO THE LITTLE FOLK.

SANTA CLAUS is already come to town, and has
made Mr.. G. L. PESy's store the Depository Of vari
GUS articles in tho way Of fruits and fireworks can-
dies and crackers. But from private interview
with the old traveller, held by moonlight yesterday
evening, we derive tue information that he cannot
and will not indulge tho little people, this Christmas
rs he usually does. He has not suspended by any
means His warerouius yet full OF all the pret-
ties and sweet things he usually keeps ON hand But
he says "children like older people, must OCCASION
ally learn what it is to be dcbarrcd their usual hdul-
gcnces what it is to miss their expected gr"tifca-
tiuus what it is in short to be disappointed" We
told hus szsEs Ys--ho ought to be the best judge
Of these matters-he was old and experienced in the
nays OF the small fry, and We would sny nothing
against his sugges,ion,-thut thought, in point Of
fact it was aguod oue" Ict with ull this unwonted
parsimuny, it easy to 10y the twinkle of his
eye that there WAS fun enough in him to make up for
any lack of guod things. And although the stock
ings may nor he as full as they sometimes are, We
know he will gee to it that the young hearts OF his
dear pets shall be rs overfowng with joy and glad
nnsl aver.

DEATH OF wM.P.wMaHr1MiAH,Ese

The Wilmington IN. C.) Journal, Of Saturday
evening last states that the Fayetteville Cdroa-
nian, Of the llth instant, contains the following
announcement:
"We stop the press to announce the painful
intelligence of the death of VIM. Wighman, Esq,
the editor of this paper Mr.. Wightmsn died in
this town suddenly during last night He-was
found dead in his bed this morning"
. The Wilmington Journal, referring to the death
of Mr.. Wightman, says:
"He had been for some few years past con.
nected with the Democratic press Of North Caro-.
lima as editor of the Fayetteville North, Cdroli.
nian. He was gentleman of talents and edu-
cation. Warm and impuls;ve in his feelings, he
may, at times, have allowed these feelings TO be.
tray him in the use of expressions which cooler
caution might condemn; but his motives and
impulses were always pure, and his principles
high.toned and correct, and by his. untimely
death, those who knew him lose an esteemed
friend, and his party has to regret the loss OF
one who bade fair, at!no distant day, to rank
with its ablest champions and defenders"
A letter received in Wilmington, states that q
| note was left by Mr.. W. in which he stated that
he had taken nitric acid for the purpose OF com.
| hitting suicide.

For the Advertiser.
A WORKING EDITOR.

Mr.. EDITOR: We often hear Editors complaining
of the hardships connected with the Editorial sanctH
and of the Devil calling for "more copy" when
they hc EditorS havnt an idea in their heads, &c.
For the benefit and encouragement Of this class of
Editors, give you short description Of the toll
and hardshps of iire Editor" in the up-country,
who discharges his private and official duties to the
entire satisfaction Of his many patrons and the public
generally The subject Of this sketchis Friend TnoNr
SON, of the "Keowec Courier" Mr.. T. is practical
printer and some four six years ago. he took charge
of the Courier in the capacity Of both Editor and
proprietor. At the time Mr. r. took charge Of tho
" Courier" VIC are crcdibly informed it was at n
"lo Cd" not having subscribers enough to more than
give it scanty support But with the zeal and energy
that is characteristic Of him, he improving
his paper both in matter and in style, and soon We
find his subscription list containing as many if not
more names than any paper of its dimensions in the
up-country. And we are not only informed that Mr..
T. writes all of his Elitorisls makes every selection
that appears in his paper and discharges his duties
as Commissioner in Equity for the District but we
also learn that he TuoArsoN sets up the typeof the
greater part of the original matter that appears In
his Journal, which assure you is no small amount
All this he docs weekly, and VIC never hear single
murmur from him.
In conclusion, We would suy if our cantins Editors
would take pattern after him would hear less COM
planning; and ice think there would be no lack OF
IDEAS let the "Devl" come as often as he chooses for
it follows if man is industrious himself his mind
will be Industrious also, CAPT. CHAw.

"cL.Y. CALHOUN, AND WEBSTER. >,

| General ". T.. HASKELL, tho Tennessee lecturer,
institutes twenty different cVlors Of comparison be-
twocn the "mghty doad' whose names are given
above. Some of these are good, as witness the two
following:
"In forensic dchate-he furte of Clay, was his
| resstless elouuencc-of Calhoun, his s0phlsm and
wonderful power of metaphysical disquistion, and
as,ute analysis-in Webster of open and solid argu-
| ment"
"As monarch, Clay would have preferred to have
been an antucrat-Culhouu, an Athcnean Archon,
elevated on the broadest principles OF Democratic
suffrage and Webster would have liked limited,
constitutional monarchy"
Others of these contrasts only so-so-take this
| for instance:
"Iu habits, Clay was dictatorial, magistcrial and
genial; Calhoun, wary, diplomatic and exclusive;
and, Webster, gentle, self foiscd and dignifed.'
The lecturer knew Mr.. CALHOUN very insufficient
~, we think, to have given his habits this rather harsh
coluring Ho had two of tho attributes allotted to
WEBSTER and of those allotted to Clay also, in
an eminent degree. lie WAS "self-poise' and digni-
fled :" he was likewise "genia." But Of the wariness
aud e.clusiveness Of his habits VIC have now hoard
for the first time.
Another of these contrasts is fur wrong US to be
really amusing:
In music, Clay would huve loved to listen to the
ringing tones of the war-bugeS sounding note; Cal
touu the mutifarous discord that makes an operate
hnrmony; and Webster, the still, dcep-rolling solemn
anthem"
Now, ne do not know that we exactly comprehend
what is meant by "the mutifarious discord that
makes an operate harmony;" but to guess ut the
signEcaton from the style of tho expression, We
should say that of all things, it would have como
nearest to running Mr.. CALHOUN stark mad. To a
man who preferred in music such simple old songs as
Lord LocHISvAR," and "It was Dunois the young
and brave" an "operatic harmony" would scarcely
have been pleasing when conducted in the best style
of the ars dirima." But rendered with "multfa-
rous discord" ne can readily picture tho statesman
of Fort Hill stopping his ears with both hands and
precipitatey rushing out into the open air.
We give ono moro specimen of Gen. HAsKELL's
comparisons as relief to the lust:
"In art and architecture, Clay would have funcied
painting and sculpture; Calhoun would havo mathe-
matcaly taxed his brain, in lsbyrinthne structures,
such as Ulysses threaded in the pckgrt isle of Crete
where the Fntes held the light and the distaf, and
the wheel, when Atropus clipped the string of fate;
and Webster would have builded monuments and
