s1~The Albany Evening Journal, W

B@The Albany EUening Journal which
doesn't always tell the truth, tells it very
forcibly sometimes. Every word of this
graphic and brief sketch of our queer
President is strictly just
"He entered the White House with a
promise of freedom to Kansas on his lips,
and scheme for enslaving it in his pocket
He declared war against circulating notes,
and in six weeks was issuing them himself
Before the ink was dry with which he
pledged economy he had drained the
treasury of its last dollar. Before the
printers were done stereotyping his in
flexible determination never to borrow, he
was in Wall street soliciting loan
"He congratulated the country on the
final end of slavery agitation, and he has
been agitating it ever since. He ordered
Paulding to stop the fllibusters, and then
recalled him for doingit. Walker he pro.
nounced an outlaw, and rendered him the
inequalities of the White House Walker
of Kansas, he furnished with written in
structions, and turned him out for obey.
ing them.
He withheld the troops from Utah, where
he proclaimed there was war, in order tC
keep them in Kansas, where he insisted
all was peace. He sells forts at the Yves
for a 1.-THE of their cost, in order to buy
sites at the East at ten times their value
his subordnates in both cases pocketinl
the difference. He is continually asking
for new steam frigates, but he will not us'
those he has, either on the coast of Afric'
or in the Gulf of Mexico. He sends GU
a steamer, ostensibly to catch the Styx
but with private orders in the Captain
desk to do nothing of the sort. Claiming
to be the most frugal of Presidents, he hal
spent more than any of his predecessors
Assuming to be above party prejudice, h
makes partizanship the basis even of hi
invitations to dinner"

SGS- A writer in the N. Y. Times, said
to be Secretary Cobb, himself, is trying to
avert little odium from the Administra-
ton by making it appear that the expenses
of the present year are less, by some
s25, 100000 than they actually are. He
need not try that game-the mass of the
people are delighted, rather than disguised,
with villainy, and the more of it that can
be proven against locofocoism, the more
popular the party becOmes-every rogue
loves to get into a stealing crowd, and the
latest corners are the most industrious.

CAss, GRUND, WIKoFF, &c.-The Rich
mond South has long and furious article
respecting the appointment of Miss Gam
ble's Chevaler Wikoff and that famous or
rather infamous Hessian, Francis j Grund,
to secret foreign missions, and concludes
in this wise eve have only to add, that,
if Gen. Cass has had the temerity to select
either of these renowned adventures as
an agent of the Government, the country
will not hold him harmless for having
outraged public morality. Better, far
better, for the Democracy that the head of
the State Department were in the darkest
recesses of the most ippenetrable forest of
Michigan, than he should thus stealthiy
encroach upon its purity or trife with its
integrity. We call on the Secretary of
State, in behalf of the united Southern
Democracy, to revoke at once the appoint
ment of these twin brothers of iniquity."
The Washington States intimates that
the appointment of these rascals is not
the work of Gen. Cass. We suppose it is
the work of Oily Cannon of the Depart
ment, Appleton, who seems intent on put
ting in Office all the scamps in the coun-

The next day take as many ears of corn
as you have hogs to feed and rub them
we'll with tar, and feed three times day.
Feed alternately every day (allowing them
to eat nothing green) until cure is effect

THE AMERICAN CANDIDATE AT ST.
LoUIs.-The following we clip from the
St. Louis Ne,os. 1t says;
"Although the American candidate for
Congress has been beaten, his friends
have reason to congratulate both him and
themselves on the brilliant and gallant
race he has made. His vote in the county
will be scarcely less than 5000, which is
more than his most sanguine friends
claimed, and more than any one thought
necessary to secure his election. Mr.
Breckenridge deserves the unbounded
respect and admiration of his friends
With an almost completely disorganized
party to rely on, without an organ to
sound his praises and publish his speeches
with the damaging cry of mo chance
raised against him from the moment he
entered the field, and laboring under the
serious disadvantages involved in middle
position between two intensely hostile fac
tions-with all these obstacles to contend
against, he has yet received the votes OF
six thousand of the most intelligent citi.
zens of St, Louis county. He expended
no money in buying votes he made nc
absurd promises, such as Mr.. Barrett's
Rock Island pledge; he strobe no hobby
he preached no humbug. His personal
popularity was his chief strength, and thai
has suficed to secure for him a vote
greater than the strength of his party in
its palmiest days. Breckenridge is defeat
ed, but he is more formidable now thar
before the battle. The election only
served to show his strength. Let him be
kept for future trial"

"The harvest is now commencing in the
south of England under the most favor
able auspices, and in the course of fort
night it will be general in all parts of the
country. The prospect of the yield is
very good, and with the certainty of its
being secured much before the average
period, there is great confidence that we
shall enjoy another year of abundance.
The consequence is, that the slight rise
which has taken place during the rather
unsettled weather of the past week or two
has been entirely lost, reaction equal to
6 cents a bushel having yesterday been
submitted to in the London market"
