BY DAVID BARKER.
One night as old Saint Peter slept
lie left the door of Heaven aiar,
When through a little angel crcpt,
And came down with falling star.
One summer as the blessed beams
OF nom approached, my blushing bride,
Awakened from some pleasing dreams,
And found that angel by her side.
God grant but this--I ask no more
That when he leaves this world of sin.
He'll wing bis way 10 that blessed shore,
And find, that door Of heaven again.

Tho Times on the Judgeship.

First, the infant. mewling and puking in
the nurses arms.-iShaespeare
The infant Times tollo wing in the
footsteps of its illustrious colleague IN
the holy cause of " bleeding Kansas
and negro equality" has already be-
Gun to lose all caution and to deal in
sophistry and absurdities. Its issue OF
Friday contained particularly laugh
able piece Of logic, intended to prove
by succession of sylIogisms, a la
Whately's latest edition, that the nom
ination of John +. Dillon was fairly
brought about; that it was the express
ion Of the will of majority of the
republican party, and that Judge Ben
nett has been treated throughout, hon.
estly and fairly and like a man and a
gentleman
Even as We frequently feel obliged
ia overlook the absurdities of the Ca
zeffe, on account of its old age and its
near approach to dissolution, SO in this
instance, influenced by equally laud-
able motives, we determined to excuse
the Times on account of its infancy and
want of knowledge of the Of fact that
the world has more respect for truth
and facts, than for sophistry and mis-
representation.
But since, in its issue of yesterday,
it has seen fit to gloat and chuckIe
over its taur pas in the "nurses arms"
as something to be proud OF, we have
concluded to reconsider our magnani-
nous resolve;-but simply to make the
following short remarks.
The logic Of the Times is quite as
legitimate, but not more SO, than the
celebrated argument by which the
Christys Ministries prove that one cat
has nine tails. Premis No. l. No
Cat has eight tails-Admitted. Pre-
mis- No. 2. One cat has one more tail
than no cat-Admittcd. Ergo, one cat
ha'ng one more tail than no cat, has
nine tails.
AS in the above instance It ia ne
cessary to admit not only, both premi-
ses, but also that the conclusion is leg
lt'mate, SO, if We agree with the Times,
1t will be necessary to admit both prem.
Uses and conclusion-or, in other words
to agree with that able sheet before #
started out with its argument.

yet hardly old enough to cry alone, in

The "long heads" Of the republican
party-the men who, "to save trouble
and expense" to the "dear people" do
all the nominating for the party-the
individuals who magnanimously con-
sent to do all the public "pap sucking
by themselves, or through the medium
of their particular friends these men,
who, from the most disinterested and
patriotic motives, feel an anxiety for
the success of the republican party, are
now in "a very bad way" about the
prospects Of Mr.. Surveyor Vandever.
They have come to the conclusion that
they have made two most egregious
blunders about the matter of a repre-
sentative in Congress. First in nomi-
mating a man of so small calibre and
one whose private character for homes
ty is SO very questionable, and second,
in advising bim-especially as be is SO
poor rider-to abandon the Philadel-
phia platform and to bestride the dem
cratic steed Of popular sovereignty.
They find that he makes but poor
Roadway before an intelligent public,
against man possessing the character
and talents of Judge Lefiingwell that
he has been almost ANONYMOUSLY de-
feated in every cantest, and that the
dear conscientious, slavery hating,
freedoms loving, republicans, view with
most unmitigated horror his heresy in
kicking over the platform upon which
that immortal statesman John Charles
Fremont was returned to that native
obscurlty Of which he has been SO
bright an ornament.
In view of these facts, Kirkwood, an
old broken down politician, O'Conner
the "little beer mug and Tim Davis,
'the good for nothing have been APP
pointed ard directed to assist Nande-
yer in discovering and explaining his
principles and in opposing Leiiingwell.
This is not only confession of Nande-
ver's weakness but the highest compli-
ment which they could pay to the abil
ity ana principles Of Mr.. Lciiingwell.
Under this arrangement they hope
that the lies and sophstries Of the four
republican great guns, will outweigh
the truth and logic of Mr.. Leffingwcll.
They hope to "bluff" the people.
