Th President is ons of the mjt humerous and
companionable bodies of the metropolis. He satis
fies everybody here, which is more than anybody
else does, and amuses even those who are disapoint
eJ. , II enjoys himself much, i should think, but
, whether hG dous or not, everybody i at home where
he is, Upon the reception days the ladies are first
cured for and served. He offers an arm to one, ;i
seal to another, t Its a tnir l where Ills daughter and
neice are to be found, and has tTie faculty of enter
tainiug'a dnzn at a time. When thelidies ate all
attended to, ho hnsaldnJ word for the gentlemen,
and a dozen for little clitlJren. if any are around
him. . 'fhe m--e fwmal visitors address him as "Mr.
ProaJeotf the less form:il as "General Taylor,"
. which h seems rather to prefer. There are no ser
vauU or attendants about him. "Excuse me for
introducing- rnysoif." s.tid a genttetna i the other
day. "2vT excuse is n;'eess iry, sir. . Here if any
; where, the people h.ire a rijjht to come wiihout an
introduction." - - ' .' f - - -v
"I hare been a soldier for forty ye:rs," said an
old Mary lander to him the other "day," but not so
successful as you. General Taylor." " --'Only,'
said old Z tck ia reply, "because you had
not samwny opjHWtuwtic") to win success." .
i Old nun, youn children and ladies, seem to be
the favorite companions of the Presideut' For the
first he has the respit and carj due to old age, for
the second, the love of a patriot, and for the last,
the gallantry of a soldier and well bred Southern
man. ... Truth seems to be with him the highest stan-
- dard of politeness, and. ha will not seem what he
does not feel and what he is not at heart The oth
er day hiving visited Mrs. John Quincy Adams,
mi M'-s. Ma lison, he role up hill rsnd down dale in
pursuit of Mrs. Alexander Hamilton.. It was long
before he f und her, (having recently changed her
lodgings,) but ho went from one end of the city to
the other, and seemed to enjoy the interview might-
ily. .Indeed the practice of the President is to
learn hll he can of the past, and from men who
knew of the early Presi dents and the early history
of the Goverment. ' Washington's farewell address
he has treasured up within his heart of hearts, and
Washington's life and 7 Washington's example, is
the mirror of his own life.; "What do you propose,"
ays a friend to him now an i then. " What Wash-
... ingtoti fUtl, and he always has a word or incident
to illustrate what be means. '

, . BtAOt Toji " Mr. Corwine. of the Chronicle,
writing from Washington, tells the following good
one about Ohio's dark skiuned Senator: .
"The proverbially conceded fact that the dark
and swarthy hue which overshadows the features
of Senator Corwin, Ohio's proud Representative in
the executive branch of Congress, rhich entitled
him to the sobreqit-'t oaB'acIc Tom," was striking
ly illustrated a few days since in this city, he had
it appears, occasion to chII at the Navy Department
to transact some business with which he was en
trusted..: While there waiting the return of the
Secretary's messenger, by whom he had sent his
Dime, a gentleman, whose modest and excitable ap
pearance betokened a i o!Sci h:mter, stepped up to
Mr. Corvriiii whom he sapp.vsjd, from his dark com
plexion, the vent'ihla messenger, and handed
him bis 'papers,' with the request that ho would
take them to the Secretary. Mr. C. playfully re
marked ; uhat he was otherwise engaged just at
. that timi 'but,' continued he, directing the atten
tioa of the geu'Jem.ia to a negro bay ia the corner
of jhe room, 'if you give your papers tony cousin
there ha will .tak-3 them t the Secretary of the
Navy. Just at this nnment a gj itlemai .uqa tint
ed with Senator Corwin entered the room and ad
dressed him by name. .. Taj cwfusi :) of the oSce
teeksr can be better i.niginjlthaa doicrioed. He
looked as if he had commited aa unpardon ible si i,
which utterly destroyed all hjje f bis obtaining an

of perspiration having collected on his brow tjok
turn to One side, and in tremulous vo:ce, begge;l
hia pardon, Mr. Corwin who enjoyed the joke
told him to give himself no unsnsiness; that mis
. takes wefe of. frequent oscorracp, and his only as
tonishment was that he had not been apprehended
before this as a fugitive slave." .-

the 19th ult, in 14.1 days from New York.
. It will be noticed that the French Government
has come to the important conclusion of an armed
intervention to reinstate Pope Pius at. Rome. A
force adequate to this purpose has sailed from
Toulon to Civita Vecchia. .The war-like contest
between the several States of the continent con
tinues with unabated fury; and with most disas
trous results to all parties engaged. The Danes
are now enforcing a strict blockade of nil the
Gorman ports, and it is announced that hereafter
emigrants will not be permitted to pass unmoles

continent, had farther receded d. per lb. The
salesof the week amount to 32,210 bales..
The stoppage of the supplies of breadstuffs from
the Baltic is beginning to have a favorable effect
on the markets. The actual advance, however,
during the past week, owing to other adverse influ
ences, has been but slight
Monev continues abtrndant, notwithstanding the
heavy di-aiu of specie for the U, States. Consols
have fluctuated from to 92, closingon the 20th

We were highly amused yesterday. On the
bridge that crosses the tumbling waters of Grand
Rapi.ls, we met a hale man with eleven sons, and
seven daughters; thirty-seven grand children and
his only wife t!r-' only one he ever had with nu
merous horses, carts, wagons, oxen, cows, calves,
sheep and furniture of very antiquated appearance,
amonyr which were to be seen cradles for babies.
cradles for grain, spinning wheels, pots, kettles and
alaiost everything requisite for a settlement, such
as 57 btaoi relations make in the Grand River
cjantry. After stopping the train, and making
many inquiries, wis asied the old gcntlemnn what
use taere oul.l be. mils oi a bottomless jug,
which was carefallv laid in a safe place, amnii;' his
domestic equipments, and received the following
reply . j
' Why. sir, I am a man of many years, and lots
of children, and more a cimin' and have wni-
ed on other people's land all my days paid from
four to nine bushels of grain per acre rent, every
year, for doing it Having all that time used a jug
with a bottom in it, and 1 got sick of feeding other
people with my old hands, either landlord or rum
sellor so I sent seven of my boys down to Mexi
co to light fjr some land and they all got back
safe, after fightin with General Taylor, time enough
to vote for him and they bought seven quarter
sections of land, that, please God will be our own
without rent
"And now that old jug j-on see there, (pointing
at the bottomless thing,) shall hold all the whiskey
or ram that will be used in my family while I con
trol 'em; because, old General Taylor told my son
John that a jug without a bottom was the" best
kind of a jug to hold liquor in, and if he was my
John, he'd serve all the jugs to him jest as they
did the Mexicans take away their power to kill us.
Good day. Grand River Eagle.

CHARTER ELECTION.
Our annual Charter Election took place on Mon
day last It was not expected there would be any
opposition to the regular Union Ticket being com
posed of good and substantial men. But another
ticket was got up entitled the " Bull Ticket," and
" pushed " hard by its advocates, all to no pur
pose, ine Union. Ticket was elected with a fine
majority. We have no hesitation in saying that a
good .selection has been made, and that they will
prove efficient and effective officers. Their names
and offices are as follows:
For Mayor J. B. G. Downs ; Recorder C. J.
Orton ; Trustees R. P. Bucklakd, La Q. Rawson,
A. J. Dickinson, Frank Bell, D. L. Juxe.
; LOOK OUT. ,
Oucity fathers have appointed a Board of
Health, who are now actively engaged in perform
ing their duties. They intend to make a thorough
...
business of examining the premises of every house
hoder within the corporation limits, and whatever
" unclean thing" they come in contact with has to
disappear instanter for their word is law. Tiny
are no respecters of persons, and a nuisance won't
be winked at As proof of that, we have " such a
leetle" note from that "board." v Therefore if
you have any rubbish about, we advise you to get
it out of the way or else it may obstruct the vision
of the Board of Health.
SST Some two or three weeks since an ordin
ance was passed prohibiting dogs from perambu
lating the steets of our city, but they do not seem
to have the fear of the Council before their eyes,
for they run at large as usual, the prohibition of
the Council to the contrary notwithstanding. They
also instructed the Marshal to pay twenty-five cents
per head for all dogs killed, yet we are satisfied the
treasury has not been very hard run, and there
are a few more "quarters" left.
JE2T What is the matter of the editor of the
Democrat? only hear him:
" The Secosd Washington, has forbidden the
publication of the removals or appointments in the
Washington papers, to avoid the just odium at
taching to his false and treacherous conduct, and
is sufficient of itself alone, to dam i past resurcc-
tion or redemption, any administration ever form
ed or to be formed in free America."
Don't Mr. Editor,-; you shouldn't sAenr, it is not
gentlemanly, and if the utterance of these words
did not relieve you, calomel couldn't save yon.
MST Some persons anxious to ra:se a little ex
citement in Toledo, two or three days since, re
ported th tt t'lete h-il bjea t'irj.; or f ar cases of

begin to think of le wing town, ute., but when they
got a little cooled down they found they had been

showers of rain within the hist ten days. The
streams in the vicinity havc nil yet high. The
weather is very pleasant at present.
Scicioe. A German of the name of Hollinger,
living near Bettsville, this county, committed sui
cide by hune-ino; himself with his handkerchief.
We have heard no reason assigned for the commis-
ion of the act. He came from Germany to this
:ountry last fall.-
23T There is a petition in circulation for signa
tures, praying that an ordinance be passed against
swine running at large in the streets and alleys
of the town. It is soon to be sent up to the
Council. Swine are about as lawless as dos;s.
Cholera. We learn by one of our citizens,
who came from Cincinnati on Thursday morning
last, that a case of cholera occurred in the cars
that day. The man was attacked about one hour
and a half before the train arrived atXenia, where
he was left in a dying state.
Tart, Tcrst? aail True. '
In a late speech at Painesville, Joshua R. Gid
dings reiterated his calumnies against President
Taylor of pro slavery cii t.lion to Congress, and
alluded to the servile course whieh many Taylor
papers in the north had taken, in obedience to the
same dictation. He was reported to say:
Huron Reflector.
"The Ohio State Journal, already endorses the
threat ot the President, promulgated in the Na
tional Intelligencer, "indignantly to frown down"
the Free Soil party, if it shall persist in its efforts
to prevent the extension of slavery."

"President Taylor's Guillotine."..
The professions and declarations of a candidate
for office, and his course and conduct after obtain
ing promotion; may with great justice be compar
ed and contrasted, both for the honor of the officer
and the gratification .of those who may be affected
by hie influence or pow.er; but this should be done
in the spirit of candor, good sense, and I might say,
patriotism, with an impartial view to all the facts
that have nppeared before the people.-. There is
among the democrats at this time; much excite
ment, in regard to President Taylor's guillotine, as
they please to call it Their presses declare that
their friends holding office, Gen. Taylor is dispers
sing with the rapidity of a summer's sun at noon
day the nauseous vapors of a pestilential fen.
This is more than their human nature can bear ;
they writhe and groan under the chastisement
Now when they see the whigs succeeding those
who are fallen or dispersed, they are suspicious the
President thinks them more honest, and would if it
were possible, prevent a whig in common life, say
ing they are in reality so. Oh, hapless democrats!
you view objects through jaundiced eyes, all
colors are blended; it is through a false medium
you make up your arguments. . We cheerfully ac
cord to you more than the honesty of your leaders,
whose fortunes you so much deplore and deprecate,
with whom are all your sympathies, but you must:
recollect that men who combatted almost to the
knife against the election of Taylor, would be dan
gerous, if left in power. The good General, as you
acknowledge him to have been, always disarmed,
the vanquished and treated them with humanity,
and friendship, and if he acts with his accustomed
wisdom in the present case, he will not leave in the
hands of his avowed enemies, engines of power,
whereby they may thwart Ills most important moos'-'
ures ; the previous examples of their perfidy, should
render him cautious.. J . - ; ;
Now let us reason together. It is the right way
to come to a conclusion you say he is pledged, thai
he would dismiss none from office f ir opinions' sake,
-well sirs, has he done so? has he not discharg
ed them for actions' sake?- quite a different thing
to be considered. Did he expect when he became
a candidate, when he said he was no party man.
when he laid no claims to the appellation of an ex
perienced politician ; but said, if elected, he would
be President of the people, to reeeive the volume
of fermented and heated passions from your party ?
Could he, I ask, have supposed that a torrent : of
of falsehood, ' vituperation, scurrility and abuse,
would rush upon him from your presses?- No, in
deed. He had no occasion to expect such violence.
He had never been a violent partizan, and through
the whole campaign retained his equanimity. The
war of words continued, imputations, slang, false
hood, and slander, wrath and defiance were hurled
at him with increasing violence, till the victory was
proclaimed, and then only remitted for a short time,
to ascertain If he would favor the measures of the
democratic party. When it was found he was truly
a whig in principle, the party presses recommenced
their fulminations of slander and abuse. They had
expected, it seems, when the General was victori
ous, he would have invited them to partake of his
good fortune, to the exclusion of those who had
stuod by him in the midst of the contest, who ward
ed off these poisonous missiles of iniquity and slan
der. The General, they sny, is pledged, to treat
us all alike. . The hordes of vampires who sucked
the life blood in Polk's administration, and who
have with gnawing teeth and poisonous breath en
deavored to defeat our candidate, must be retained
in office. The pledge is mist solemnly reverted to.
But 1 would inform you,' if there were no condi
tions expressed or implud.it has most religious! v
been complied with they are discharged, not for
opinions' sake, but for actions' sake.
The managers of the party presses are now hor-i
ror-stricken, to see their noble ehampi ms called up
to answer for their deeds, and ordered to streteh'
forth their necks, according to custom, and suffer
the punishment of their crimes, by apolitical de-!
capitation a just retiibutioa to evil doers, who re
gard their own ex iltation and advancement, as
paramount to the best interests and welfare of the
Country.

Even in despotic governments, noble ancestry or
exalted parentage, does not give right to unworthy
aspirants. It docs not follow as a matter of course,
that sons are equally worthy with their fathers:
Caligula was the son of the good Germanicus, Do
mitian of the great, wise and philanthropic Vespa
tian, Commodus of the good and beloved Aurelius,
yet three greater monsters the world never produ
ced ; though the ex-officer is not to be compared
with either: yet, were he the son of our venerable
Washington, that would not entitle him to pro
motion, without ample qualifications. But they
aver, he is a very wise and good mtin. Have they
ever said that one of their leaders who adhered
strictly to their creed was not ? The first instance
is, we believe, yet to be found.
Aside from guillotining, the President has mast
erroneous principles, and prejudices, has no sympa
thy for any part cf the Union but the south, he
appointed a man from Vermont postmaster outra
geous; he is in favor of internal improvements, to
improve harbors on hikes and rivers deplorable.
Where are your leaders who are in favor of such
plans ? ah, these are Whig questions, they are al-
ways throwing at us ; we won't answer. But your J
President is a slave holder, we know that for cer-:
tain. Whv, my crood friends, if I may be allowed
the expression ; many of our best Presidents were
of emanei-
iliy be ef-
as cast in
s'aV(J states, and they grew up where the institu-
ftion existed, not from chance, but from necessity,
were in favor of restricting slave territory. We be
lieve the man under such circumstances, who owns
and provides for the greatest number of slaves, is
the most meritorious; to extricate them from hard
masters, and treat them kindly, "is great humanity,
a praiseworthy net -, ; S
You would not surely, con tend that a man should
expend his fortune" reduce himself and family to
penury and want, by purchasing and liberating
slaves. , Not one of you, with all your boasted phi
lanthropy and zeal in the cause of free-soilishi,
(since the defeat of Cass) would give a dollar for
that purpose, it would be putting money in the
pockets of the planters, and rendering the remain
der of the slaves more valuable. . No, no,! friends,
you would not do it Away with hypocrisy, sub
terfuge and chicanery," and talk on correct princi
ples. We are aware ypu feel much mortification,
on account of your late defeat, and now look with
abhorrence on the guillotine ; both are events that
might have been expected from the repugnance of
principles advanced, and the unmanly course you
pursued to accomplish your purposes; and the most
consolation we can give you, is to endeavor to keep
cool, and pay such respect to the present adminis
tration as becomes good and quiet citizens. If the
time ever comes, when you again get into power,
we pledge you, in behalf of the whigs, that we will
most cordially reciprocate this humility, even were
it at the expense of another war, and the annexa
tion of two or three slave territories. - Yes, we
most solemnly hope no fortuituous events will re
duce us to that necessity. There is but one earthly
redemption for you, but one chance that can in
spire' you with a gleam of hope, of turning the
scales which are now so well ballanced; that is if
you abandon your extension-slavc:territory princi
ples, abandon your late leaders, abjure your pres
ent name, coalesce with the frce-soilers, then em
body yourselves in solid column, ready for the on
set; and then and then what ? .Why, I'll tell
you then if Congress should pass the Wilmot pro
viso, and our President should issue' one of Jack
son's, Tyler's or J. K.Polk's terrific bulls, then, 1 say,
would bo the time to redeem your lost ground.
But is not this view quite discouraging; the condi
tion harder than to perish gradually, manfully hold
ing on to your broken standards, till the vain strug
gle sh all be o'er. If in the course of investigations,
I should be so fortunate as to discover a safer and

Plain Talk. Mrs. Swisshelm, of the Pitts
burgh Saturday Visitor, wields the editorial pen to
some purpose, and is not afraid to speak her senti
ments. It is really a pity that there are not more
conductors of public journals, that could do the
same. Mrs. S. in speaking of the tippling shops
and their victims, shows the true spirit of a woman,
and who will not acquiesce in her opinions, which
she gives as follows: ,
"If we were a man if we were a voter we
would vote down the doggeries. As we are a wo
man, if we had a husband, father or brother, who
was likely to become a victim to the serpent of the
still, we would take their disease in time in the
first stages and warn the dram-sellers within
reach, not to encroach on onr hearth; and if they
persisted we' would burn down their establishments ;
with as clear a conscience as we would build a fire
tj burn the June bugs and save our plums. ' - -
This will be called incendiary doctrine; but des
perate diseases want desperate remedies; and
where our own happiness and the life, and soul, and
honor of one dear to us, are at stake, it would not
be well for the man who stood between us and his
salvation, if wo had concluded that salvation possi
ble. We would never advise any other to such a
remedy; for the penalty would be imprisonment
for life; but we woald consider this a positive bles
sing combared to'kuthing the besotted face of one
we ha J loved. To us, no object on earth is so
loathesome.so iiateful, so abominable as a drunkard.
We could not live near one for we should die of a
sick stom ich. It may be very angelic for a'pnre
minded, virtuous woman to love and caress a great
drunken beast, but for our share we have not the
litest pretensions to-being an angel, and the coil
m anai:o:Ia would be quite as pleasant a cors
, as the entwining of a drunkard's arm. From
would bind a deeent woman to a drunkard; and
we most firmly believe that so f ir from its being a
duty for a wife to live with a drunken husband it
is a violation of the laws of God, and the dictates
of common sense and common decency. , A wo
man who will persist in so living, should be shut up
in a lunatic asylum. Grant it, that she has a right
to dispose of herself as she pleases! Has she any
right to entail misery and degradation upon a help
less offspring ? Has she any right to furnish the
state with paupers and criminals ? Has the drunk
ard any right to hand down his vices and their co
sequences to posterity ?" . - . ,
Ohio and the NationaI Government. A wri
ter in the Columbus Journal shows the remarkable
fact that Ohio has not at this time one-fourth of
her proportion in the offices of the General Gov
ernment. The ratio the writer states should be
as follows: -
1 M&mber of the Cabinet; 4 Embassies and
Charges; 4 Bureaus; 10 Consuls and 60 Clerks.
He gives the following illustration of the pres
ent disproportionate share allotted to us. There
are at Washington he says, about 30 Civil Bureaus
or head offices for business. There are in them
about 600 Clerks and subordinates. Out of nil
these Ohio has but one Bureau and perhaps six or
eight Clerks! This is a disproportion which when
co trasted with the favored States, seem3 to exhibit
simply sectional proscription on the one hand, and
sectional favoritism on the other. We trust that
the present Administration will adjust the balances
a little more evenly. Ohio is entiled .to one-tenth at
least of the Goverment offices. Let her have her
share under oae Administration, for the sake of nov
elty, if not of justice.
