IrThe Richmond South emits blue
flame of fire at Washington society in the
following manner:
"The truth is, society in Washington is
fast sinking under an accumulation of native
follies and foreign fashions. The aristocracy
of the Federal Metropolis are little better
than an association of snobs. Except among
small and select class of people, one finds
there scarcely vestige of the republican
simplicity of earlier times. Everything is
sham and pretension. The profusicn of
paste and pinchbeck which dazzles the eye
of Jenkins, is as genuine as the air of courtly
elegance which excites his enthusiasm.
With the Spartan severity Of manner that
once distinguished the representative men
of the country, have disappeared the un,
obtrusive but substantial virtues Of its
women. The change is sadly significant Ol
national decay"

the Lecompton Constitution:
The Constitution that is now being forced
on the people of Kansas, is a cheat and q
swindle, and they have SO denounced it by
their voices legally and fairly expressed at

his support to the measure advocated BY

knowledge Of the manner in which the ras,

thus far.

Too Gcpo. TO BE Los+.-The following
good one from the Memphis Bulletin, is too
good 10 be lost. l.
Jingt Un.-We have fricnd-or, with
the emphasis of the inimitable Toodles, we
hare friend who, for the nonce, we shall
call ''the Major" though his right 10 the
prefix is somewhat questionable. Now the"
Major has ha6, through life, one besetting
sin. and that is an unconquerable love of a.
certain game Of cards known as viugi un,
which is the French for twenty-one. This
well known game, fat wife and large
family, are about the only weaknesses tna5
can be laid 10 the Majors charge. How
often he has been married the record saith
not, nor is il important Suffice it that DUR
ing over thirty odd years of the Majsr's'
welded life, as his wealth increased and
his hairs become gray, one after another, in
regular succession, his board was honofet
with the presence of miniature editions Of
himself, until the number had reached
twenty, when the Major concluded things
had gone Tar enough and should be stopped.
But they didn't, as The Major in due time
found out, for he had calculated without
consulting his wife. There were indica-
tions Of another boad Of union and WE'LL
spring of happiness. The MAJOR became
nervous, for his nomenclature was exhaust
ed. In his desperation, he finally declared
that the coming heir 10 his name and for
tunes, whether boy or girl, should be named
Vmgf-un.
In vain the old woman relnonstrated.-
The Major was inexorable. The new
conner, being the twenty y-krst, should wsg
his way through life with that appropriate
title. In an ante-room the Majsr awaited
the announcement Of the little strangers
sex. The nurse appeared, and, to the Ma.
jor's horror, whispered the terrible words
firms! Busted, BY thunder, yelled the
Major, 'why didn't stand on iwenfy'"

The Kansas correspondent of the Repub-
lican thus comments on the strange conduct
of Calhoun in refusing to announce the re-
suit Of the late election:
"The reports which have been circulated
in regard to the result Of the election on the
9th ult., have created some distrust, and
diss atisfaction in the ranks Of both parties.
and without intending to impute anything
improper to Gen. Calhoun, must say the
matter has been managed awkwardly, and
given our enemies an opportunity Of maui,
featuring some capital. The returns of the
election had to be made TO Gen. c., and he
invited the President of the Council and
Speaker Of the House of Representatives tc
be present at the opening of the returns.-
They attended, and they published the sue
cess of the free State ticket.
Gen. C. published nothing, but very soor
those claiming to be his friends publish th'
election of the Democratic ticket, and evel
since we have had it first one way and theI
the other, without hearing anything frou
Gen. Calhoun, and he has left for Washing
ion without making the result public. Al
this is seized upon by designing men of th'
Free State party, and paraded about as evi
dence of trickery and fraud, and many o
the Democrats are dissatis fed, and think th'
matter ought to have been made public.

AN ARKANSAS Fathers ADVICE TO HIS
Sos.-The following advice Of an Arkansas
father to his son eclipses that of Polonius to
Laertes. Rich and racy in dalect,it ''knoeks
saucepans" out OF the glowing admonitions
OF the classic Dane:
bob, you are about leaving home for
stra nge parts. You're going to throw me
out of the game and 60 it alone. The odds
is agin you, Bob, but remember always that
industry and perseverance are the winning
cards; they are the "bowers." Book larn-
in and all that sort of thing will do to fill
up with, like SO many small trumps, but you
must have the bowers to back 'em, else they
amt worth shucks. If luck runs against
you pretty strong, don't cave in and look
like sick chicken on rainy day, but hold
your head up and make believe you're flush
of trumps; they won't play so hard agin you
I've lived and travelled around some, Bob,
and I've found out that as soon as folks tho't
you held weak hand, they'd buck agin you
strong. So when you're sorter weak keep
on a bold front, but.play cautious; be satis-
fed with pint. Many hand I've seer
euchred cause they played for too much
Keep your eyes well skinned, Bob; don''
let 'em "nig" on you; recolect the game
lays as much with the head as with the hands
Be temperate; never get drunk, for then, nc
matter how good your hand, you won't know
how to play it both bowers and the ace
won't save you, for there's sartin TO be q
"miss deal,' or something wrong. And an
other thing, Bob-this was spoken in a low
tone-don't 60 too much on the women
queens is kinder poor cards; the more you
have of them the worse for yeu; you might
have three, and nary trump. l don't say
discard 'em all; if you get hold Of one that.
a trump, it's all good, and there's sartain tc
be one out Of four. And above all, Bob, bt
honest; never take mans trick wot dom
belong to yo~, nor "slip" cards, or "nig,
for then you can't look your man in the face
and when that's the case, there's no fun il
the game, it's regular "cut throat" S,
now, Bob, farewell; remember wot tel
you, and you'll be sure to win, and if yol
don't saryes you right if you get "skunked.

Letter of Gov. Wise on Kanras Affairs

PK1LADELpH1A, Feb. 9, 1854 let
ter of nearly four columns from Gov. Wise
in reponse TO an invitation 10 attend the
ti-Lecompton meeting held here last
evening, will be published in the Press to-
morrow morning.
Governor Wise says that careful re-
view Of the Presidents message constrains
him to differ with .he President of his
choice. He protests against the mode in
which the Lecompton constitution was pre-
tended to..be submitted, as anti-republican
and oppressive, and as offensive TO the self
respect and moral sense of free people
He admits that the conduct of the Topeka
ties was violent and unlawful, and that their
opponents acted under lawful authority up
TO the submission Of the constitution 10 the
people, But that has nothing TO do with
the issue-is the constitution the act and
deed of the people, and is the schedule re-.
publican?
The wrong of the Topekaites will no.
justify the wrong Of the Lecompton Con-
vention, nor cure the defects of the Lecomp-
ton schedule, which, though providing for
its ratification or rejection, was submitted
for approval alone, without allowing vc!s
upon its rejection. He contends that there
was obviously sinister and anti-replblcau
purpose in thus giving an unfair elactiOu
as 10 part Of the constitution, with no elee-
ton as 10 the whole. He denies the as
sertion Of the President that no people
could have proceeded with more regularity
, in the formation Of constitution than the
, people of Kansas have done. The people
j were not allowed fair election at all. A
fair election could no. be held under the
, schedule, as appears from its face, He
; combats the Presidents idea that the ad-
mission Of Kansas would speedily end, the
agitation in Congress and localize it in Kan
sas. He declares that il con never be To-
; cal.
Again it i. all essential that the settle
t ment shall be just, right and equal; and if
not so, it is sure TO be mischievous to .hsf
S party snatching power without tight, and
8 doing wrong that good may come. The uiS
3. terror effect of adopting the Lecomptsn
: Constitution will be worse than referring
: back the question for Territorial decision.
J. 1t vii! arraign the Democracy and tie
South for demanding more than is right; il
l. will return the chalice to our own lips, when
i. the Kansas question again and again arise,
a in our boundless domain Of unsettled Terri
h tories; it will drive away thousands Of hon.
>. est Democrats 10 raise The Black Republi.
it can flag oyer the Capitol in the next strug
gle for power, and then raise the last dreac
0t issue Of disunion. .,,...
Of He concludes by addressing the COM
ir mittee ns the friends Of Mr.. Buchanan anc
the administration, who have his best wish
N es and warmest friendship, and whom HI
of would save both from danger and defeat
,e He trusts in their pure and patriotic me
ID tives, but he regards much more the De
" mocracy Of the South and the Union, ant
,e processes anxiety for their fate. For him
" self, he fears nothing, firmly standing oil
r. the right in spite of friends and foes.
