IRISH EMIGRANT SOCIETY.
Office, No. 1 Readt Struct, New York.
IN consequence of the great number of complaints which
have for u long time been made by Emigrants, of fraud*
committed upon them in the sending of money tp their
friends In Ireland, and to aid and protect the Emigrant,
the Irish Emigrant Society established a fund, deposited
in the Hank of Ireland, Upon which they draw drafts,
payable at Might, at any of the branches of the lWnk.
Persons residing out of the city, by enclosing in a letter
the sum they wish forwarded, with the plainly written
direcftion to whom and whan it is to be bald, will have the
same remitted.
There is a great advantage In purchasing the Soaiety's
drafts?that the Bank has a branch in each of the princi
pal towns in Ireland, and thus the losses by discount, mri
otherwise, are avoided.
The Society keeps an office at No. 22 Spruce street, to
which Emigrants can apply to obtain situations for which
they are fitted.
Orders from employers In the country, stating the ser
vices required, the wages, and the cheapest modes of oon
veyance, faffi giving a respectable reference, will meet with
prompt attention.
The Society will be thankful for all circumstantial and
MUy Information of any fraud, imposition, or outrage
committed on Kmigrarita, and Will endeavor speedilyto
apply a remedy. GREGORY DILLON, President.

to give confidence to those who may not have triid it. We
would say that Z. C. Ryon, foreman to A. M. Taylor A Co.,
Columbia street, Cincinnati, has authorised us to use his
name as a recommendation to tanners in general. To all
who know Mr. Z. C. Ryon this would be sufficient; but all
tanners in the city and countiy, who have used it, have
granted us this'privilege. If It were necessary we could
fill a newspaper with testimonials; but where all who use
are meased we deem it uncalled for.
The Tanners' Blacking is put up in kegs containing six
gallops, ready for use, and will lie sent to any point on

I'll* next Presidency.?A Voice from.
VlrglaU.
71a the Editor & of the American Telegraph.
tifcNTLUMM: As a member of the Whig ranks,
I am not ia fiworof a premature agitation of
the next Presidency. The oguutry requires im
pose from the incessant din of party strife, and
the people have other things to think of besides
making Presidents, and something else to do
besides urging the pretensions of Presidential
aspirants.
It is but just, however, to our present worthy
Chief Magistrate, to state, that his A'lmi?iitr> 7
tion has received the unqualified approval of
the WhigB of Virginia; and although they.wjll
oheorftiHy support the nominee of a National
Convention, the nomination of no one by that
body would give them higher gratification than
that of Millard inlligore. The death of the
lamented Taylor brought him njoat unexpeot
*dly to the presidential Choir, at the most,
f JPQfi*C important crisis that has arisen
since the foundation of the Government. Dig.
union and civil war stared us in the faoe. Every
patriot trembled for the integrity of the Union
and the safety of the Government.
Although some questioned the capacity and
qualifications of Mr. Fillmore for the high and
responsible trust which he was so suddenly
called on to assume; yet, not having been
elected to that office by the people, it was feared
that he oould not command their confidence in
a sufficient degree, to steer the ship of state
through the breakers which beset it, without
dissatisfaction and mutiny.
These fears, however, have so far proved to
be vain, and Mr. Fillmore has not only shown
himself in every way equal to his task, but the
people?the disoreet and patriotic of both po
litical parties?have stood by and sustained him
in the discharge of his arduous duties. ,
He has so "demeaned himself in his high
office," that even the most captious of his po
litical opponents can really find nothing in his
Administration to cavil nt or to condemn. Al
though a northern man, he has stood by the
Constitution and administered the Government
with strict impartiality, for the benefit of the
South as well as the North, the East and the
West, and has shown himself an AmerieaU'in
heart and feeling. He is not one of those whose
patriotism is circumscribed by the narrow con
fineai of a particular State or section of the
' Unidn; but with the lofty and expanded views
' and feelingB of a noble and cultivated intellect,
. and la true patriot, he lookB to the good of the
, whole Confederacy, and likes to see every sec
tion of it free, happy, and prosperous. He has
a stood by the union of the States as the sheet
anchor of our political hopes and fortunes, and
r' with unshaken firmness, through the raging of
d the storm and the rocking of the battlements,
has endeavored to preserve it. Such a man is
y worthy of the confidence of the people, and de
>s serves to be reinstated by the popular suffrage
in the office which he has so impartially and
ablyi filled. Such, we have not a doubt, is the
desire of the Whigs of Virginia.
With Millard Fillmore as their candidate for
d President, and Alex. H. H. Stuart, the able
Secretary of the Interior, for Vioe President, I
cannot permit myself to doubt the success of
r tho ticket. Mr. Stuart I consider eminently
fitted for the poet. His moral aad virtuous
' course of life?his pnre and unsullied honor?
his lofty patriotism?and the devotion to the
Union which he has evinced?furnish an ample
guarantee that he would discharge the duties of
the office with credit to himself and advantage
to his country. The Whigs of Virginia are
looking to the name of Mr. Stuart, in connexion
with the Vice Presidency, with no ordinary de
gree of interest.
I have merely thrown out a few hints as it
regards the feelings and wishes of the Whigs of
Virginia. I have no doubt that the ticket which
I have mentioned would be their first choice;
yet, they will cordially sustain the nomination
of a Whig national convention.

Greatnei* beaide(lta?lf.
To the Editor* of the American Telegraph.
Gf.xtlimrx : The communication on the out
side of the Telegraph on Monday last, headed
" Pfping behind the Scenet," gives rise to a con
jecture as to who the eminent Cabinet Minister
referred to can be.
I ask, can it be the gentleman who was very
poor once himself, so poor that he could not
get trusted for a pair of boots, and who, had it
not been for the heavy donations of his infatu
ated wealthy friends, could not now get trusted
for any thing?
How often it occurs that persons rising from
obscurity and poverty to greatness, in the
world's estimation, will put on ridiculous airs,
and forget what they have been aa well as what
they really are.
Suppose the Cabinet Minister in question had
said to the lady who called on him at his resi
dence, instead of his Department, "Madam, my
rule is to attend to all business matters at the
Department; but as you say my messenger has
treated you uncivilly, for several days in suc
cession, and has refused to let you see me at
my office, and also to take your letters to me, I
will waive my rule on this occasion and read
the letters you have brought with pleasure.
Madam, we have just dined, but if you will take
some cake and wine, I will order those refresh
ments with pleasure. We are but servants of
the people, madam. You are one of the sover
eigns. I fenr 1 will not be nble, at present, to
give your husband employment, for the places
nre all filled, hut I will keep his oase in remem
brance, as you say he is a good Whig, is out of
employment, and is blest with as many children
as were vouchsafed to John Rodgers of old.
Madam, yon will always find the latch-string of
our door out. I wish you goo<Lday."
Query: Wouldn't Sam Houston, if President
even, so treat a well-behaved, well-dressed mar
ried lady ? Wouldn't Stephen A. Douglas ?
Wouldn't John Y. Mason? Wouldn't almost
any gentleman high iti station, who justly ap
preciated himself and the world generally ?
Cawdor.
Edwin Forrest.?Mr. Forrest is preparing
for the stage, and will make his first appear
ance for several years at the Broadway the
atre on the 14th of September next. He will
appear in Philadelphia after his New York en
gagement, at Marshall's Walnut street theatre.
Advertise.?A business that is worth fol
lowing is worthy of being advertised, and nett
to having one's stock covered by insurance, we
believe the most important step *8 to advertise
it to the world. There is nothing like keeping
one'B trade before the publio* or one's name in
such a prominent position that it may not be
forgotten. A simple oard in a single paper ia
better than none at all; for the name and the
trade become associated in the mind, and the
want of an article suggests at once the name of
the trader.?JY T. Sun.
