NATIONAL WHIG.
The Devil a< d Mr. Polk.
Satan left hi? dark domains,
Bade ibe reslms of ni^ht a lieu !
Spread his b?l-lik%* raven pinions,
To I he Whl'.e H -use straight he fl?w.
'Twaa at miJnighi?all w:.? gloom
Aa he entered Polk'* bed room.
Polk with fear the D 'tnon horriJ
Saw approach his brdaide nisher?
Saw the h">rns upon his foreheud.
Saw hid fli'wing fyw of fir.',
Saw the chain thai once confined him.
Saw his tail curled up behind him.
Wildly ataring Polk he gaz?>,
Bolt upright in bed sat he;
"Mr. Devil, this amnios me."
"Sir," said he, with voice unsteady,
"Have you come for me already V
"Mr. Polk, don't got excite I,
You have nought to appiehend ;
Why ahould you, sir, be affrighted,
At thus meeting an 'Old Friend V
Yon need fear no preamt dih^e',"
Said the cloven footed stronger.
Trembling, Mr. Polk imploring,
Turned to Satan and said he ;
"Trouble* thick and fast are pouring
On oca party-friend9, and me;
What plan, air, sh ill we pursue
To conquer a piece of Mexico 1"
"Burn tho house?, sack the cities,
Rob the churches?Piiests displace,
Hang up every one that pities,
That'a the way to conquer peace.
Tear ihe Mexicans asundi r?
Give the greasy rascula thunder."
"Thai'athe talk," said Polk?"I'll do it;
If you'll comfort me and aid."
"Go it Mr. Polk?we'll go it,"
Said Old Spli.foot?"wh>.'s afraid."
03- Flour at St. Louis on the 7ih inst. was
$1 75.
03* William R. Hall is a Whig candidate for
Congress from the Wilmington Distiict in
Notth Carolina.
03- Mr. Polk's government, it seems, has re
solved upon building 5 steamers of 1000 tons
burthen each to ply between New York, Char
leston, Havana and Chngres.
03- A man named Bollmeyer was murdered
near Pittsburg last week and robbed of the sum
of $'229 which he had about his person. His
body was found.
There are 1575 miles of .Magnetic wires
in operation in ihe United States, and before
1848 there will be 4974 miles more ready fur
the'lightning's journey.' In 50 years from this,
it is impossible to predict with any certainty ail
the influences which the Magnetic Telegraph
will have had upon society, but one thing
is certain,?it is destined to make one family
of the human race, and perhaps to bring about
the era, when the Lord "shall set up an ensign
for the nations" and the "glory of the Lord
shall be revealed and all flesh shall see it to
gether."
\
GO- If Lieutenant Hunter's capture of'Alva
rado, without orders, were folly, as Commo
dore Perry seems to think, the Commodore'*
reprimand of lhat brave officer for doing with
one gun what Commodore Conner and Com
modore Perry himself essayed in vain to do
with many guns, is an evidence of mean jeal
ousy which we did not suppose could find a
harboring place in the breast of any naval offi
cer.
The Honored Df.ad.? Ihe people of Ohio
and Kentucky have taken steps to remove the
honored dead of those Slates from the seat of
war and bring their remains to their respective
homes.
03-The Abingdon Virginian throws the ban
ner of the Hero of Buena Vista to the breeze.
Really the "Little Tennesseean" can't have
the fear of Father .Ritchie before his eyes!
03- Speaking ol Livy, the other day, the
Louisville Journal says that the speech of Ca
nuleus on the intermarriage law is in the very
vein of Patrick Henry or Henry Clay, and
rings out like a trumpet call. Who will not
recognize the truth of this apt criticism ?
Gen. Worth has gone forward under orders
to take and occupy Perote. This rapidity of
movement is what should have characterized
the progress of this war 'oni; ago.
Washington Union.
Thi9 is what the Whigs have been shouting
in the ears of your President ever since the
war began, and the only answer they got was
"Federalists"?''Mexican Whigs"?"Traitors
to their country." Go to?old man of the
Union?you're a funny fellow?as Devil-Skin
said to Rory?a d d funny fellow f
03-Steamboats are to be run on theShenan
doah above the falls. We hope their fires will
enlighten the political darkness of that region.
03-The correspondence and public papers
of Mr. Webster, while Secretary of Slate, are
to be published by the Harper*. They are a
monument to him more enduring than one of
brass. _
(0- Stnta Ana lost the battle of S in Jacinto
and the territory of Texas on the 21*1 of April
1636. He lost the batile.nl' Cerro Gordo on the
18th of April 1817. Will it be followed by the
loss of the territory of the Department of Vera
Cruz?

Well nny the Louisville Journal ask?How
'Vi'! 'Iipsp things be relished at Washington
'i> > Is it not evident that ? he Administration
can no longer keep its party together? Has1"
not the tiie glorious name of old Rough and
Heady caused a tremendous stampede in the
ranks ?
to* The Union learns, that detachments of a
l irge force now in the service of the Govern
ment will be sent forward to share in the Mexi
j can war. What force can this be ? We know
| of no large foice in the service of the Govern
j ment that has not already been srnt forward,
I unless it be the Tory office holders ? Are they
to be sent out to share in the " spoils" of the
"fqoesirntion ol the Church property?
GJ-The Boston Post threatens the Whiffs,1
that if they do not mind their P's and Q,'s, the
, Democratic party will do something, in rela
I tton to the next Presidency, which nobody an
f ticipates and which will utterly annihilate us !
W hat can it be? Do they mean to run James
K. Polk ?
to- Some man in New York suggests, if the
Mexicans persist in refusing to make peace
while we occupy their territory, that Taylor
and Scott drive them all out of the country and i
Jolloic after them, and then a peace will follow
at once! Wf> should not be surprised if Mr.
Polk was acting upon this notable suggestion
in his present war policy.
to- It is a notorious fact, and one which
elicited the condemnation of all just men,
that the President's army appointments are
nearly all from the Democratic party, and yet
his organ, the Union, lauds him to the skies
for his political generosity in dividing those
appointments between the two parties of the
country ! Was such a shameful disregard of
truth ever before exhibited?
to~ The Washington Union says that Gen.
j Taylor has no civil experience, and therefote
ought not to he made President. Yon said the
same once of Jackson, but the people paid no
attention to your say so. They wi'I pay less
| re?ard lo it now, because they know you do
not tell the truth of the Hero of Buena Vista.
to-The Administration papers are begin
ning to claim all the honors of the success of
our arms in Mexico for President Polk. We
take it, this is a prelude to his application to
the next ( ongress to get a law passed to au
thonze hun to leave the Republic and take
command in penon of the American forces in
the enemy's country. Mr. Polk will yet be a
j Hero.
to* The Washington Union boasts that th*
days of C'ortez have returned with the progress
of our arms in Mexico. There is only one
thing wanting to make Mr. Polk a second Cor
tez, and that is, for him to seize upon the
, Church property to mainiain our forces in the
war of subjugation now going on with such
unparalleled success!
to* 1 he New ^ ork Evening Post persists in
asserting that the Whig, who was appointed
j Secretary of the late Louisville Taylor meet
j ing, refused to serve because he did not know
old Zach's politics. The Louisville Journal
has given the lie to this statement. We hope
| it will clinch it this- time.
{?- There have been over 600,000 Bibles dis
tributed this yeai by the American Bible Soci
ety, making upwards of 5 millions of copies
scattered abroad by that body since its founda
tion. The demand is said to be greater for the
Woid ol God than ever known.
?C|=The Taylor meeting at Nashville on
the 8th instant, was a " rouser." R.J. Mei<*s
was called to preside. John Bell?one of Mr.
Polk's most admired friends !?and other gen
tlemen addressed the assemblage. The reso
lutions nominating O.d Zach for the Presiden
cy were submitted by that war-horse of the
political press, Allan A. Hall, and adopted
amid the most unbounded enthusiasm. Really
we begin to feel for the condition of poor Fath
er Ritcbip. ?

CANTON TEA COMPANY.
THE OLDEST TEA ESTABLISHMENT IN
AMERICA !
PRINCIPAL ESTABLISHMENT IN
NEW YORK.
THE CANTON TEA COMPANY has been
popularly known for many years. This is the
largest und oldest Tea Establisment in America.?
The public havo had lull proof of their integrity and
responsibility. But such has been tho great and
pressing demand for their TEAS of late, that they
have been obliged to enlarge, to a great extent, tueir
two principal establishments in New \ork, viz:
125 CHATHAM AND 163 GREENWICH
STREETS.
They moreover possess facilities, ia relation to the
Tea Trade, in a very abundant degree, and doubt
less, superior to any other Tea Concern in America.
Their scrupulous regard to all principles that lend
to elevate the character of a large house, is well un
dersiood, and has already secured them a connec
tion, probably, larger than all other Tea Establish
ments united, and they consequently are determined
to sell Teals purer, more fragrant, and perfect fu
the prices, in the aggregate, than any house in the
world?China excepted.
They most zealously invite the attention of tho in
habitants of WASHINGTON, D. C., to their
Agency, where the following assortments aie always
on hand; and ihey feel no hu.-itation in stating that
wherever a single trial is made, a very decided pre
ference is given to the celebrated I'eas of the CAN

tive Pills is a medicine which not only cures
but prevents disease, capable of great results, and
? qually calcu.at'id to be safely used for apparently
small ones. We all know how dreadful and dan
gerous a seated bilious disorder and we are also
well aware of the seeming insignificance of i's first
warnings or incipieney. The individual suffering
from slight pains in his chest, back, or stomal), or
from occasional nausea, dull headache, extreme ner
vousness, sleeplessness, trifling prevarication of ap
peine, and other disagreeable visitations so c mmon
ly and foolishly looked upon as unimportant, may
not know that these symptoms, treated s.? contemp
tuously, are the consequences of a diseased state of
the liver, which if not remedied, will lead either to
speedy death or a l-iig tiain of unbearable ills which
are known by the following names : Hypochondria
mania, dizziness, slow fevers, epilepsy, asthma,
dropsy, rheumatism, chlornsis, convulsions, nausea
nervousness, crapms, gout, pleurisy, jaundice, irrita
bility, and violence, dyspepsia, hyste ics, scurvy, foul
stomach, dry coughs, glandular affections, colds, lin
g> r.ng sore throats, vaiious disorganizations of the
gn at intestine, strictures and spasmodic complaints
internally, eruptions, sh ortness of breath, heartburn
neuralgia, vital inflammation, flatulence, gastric fel
vers, &c.
Sometimes, too, there ensues an irrpgular action
of the heart. Take these pills and suffer no more.
