Caught TARTAR THE Washington
correspondent of the Louisville Courier gives
the following doleful account Of the officers of
the house Of representatives." Didn't the de-
mocracy catch Tartar when they elected the
officers Of the house last winter? Orr, the
speaker, defeats the admission Of new demo-
cratic State, and one which is reliably demo-
cratic so long as general Lane lives Allen,
the clerk, turns Douglas man, and uses the
great power of his position to defeat the party
in the admission of Kansas. Steedman. the
printer, takes the same course, goes home and
openly repudiates the democratic party, and
proposes to take two hundred thousand men
abolitionists and all-from Ohio, and 90 to
Chicago and nominate Douglas for the presi-
dency, and run him against the whole field
Hackney, the door keeper, proved a thief and
was sentenced to expulsion. Ha! ha!-but is
not this load to carry?" The Louisville Cou
rier, it should be remarked, is one of the lead
ing democratic organs in Kentuckv-its editor
federal office holder.

An interesting question Of Illegally is soon

the republican member from Will county, in
that State is a native born American citizen,
but some years ago heremoved into Canada
and became British subject He swore al
legiance to the crown, and was elected a mem
Der OF the Canadian parliament. As the Amer
lean government repudiates the English doc
tune, 'once aeltlzen always citizen, and in
sists that allegiance can be thrown off, was it
not necessary for Mr.. Norton, upon returning
to theU States, to take out papers of natura.
Iisation and forswear bis allegiance to the
queen before he could become an American
citizen?

trophe in the course of his argument: Look

ty.of good sense; have they any coIumns?-
Not the shade of one! But their cities are

Washington letterwriters assert that presi-
dent Buchanan has notified Mr.. Phelps, chair
man of the committee of ways and means, that
should congress neglect or refuse to so modify
the tariff as 70 furnish an increase of revenue,
he will call early in the summer an extra ses-
sion OF congress, and end out what kind Of me-
tai the members elect are composed Of. We
cannottor a moment believe that the president
uttered any such threat. He has no right to
assumethe attitude ola dictator to congress.

YET amid the desolstion,
That attends thy early doom,
And the tears that fall unbidden
Ger thy consecrated tomb,
There's cloud with silver lining,
Which reflects brighter shore,
Where With al! the holy angels
Thou shalt live foreyermore.

been notified, and were npon the wharf. when
The vessel was hauled in. but the Chief Of the

lie demanded gross sum Of $4,000 or an
amount equal to twenty per cent. OF the pro-

s,reed to the 90 per cent, and the papers be-
ng signed, holes were cut in the deck of the
burning vessel, and the fire companies went
"a work In six hours the vessel was filed
with water to her decks, and the steam
pump was then set to work upon her. The
COMPANIES are doubtless entitled to compen-
sation for this kind Of labor, but it would
have been much more creditable to have gone
10 work at once. 1t looks like an attempt to
drive the best possible bargain.-Psn"syl-
