A writer in the St. Louis Spirit of the H't&l, lei Is a good story about a Western politician, which is as lulluws : The most bioletl ami unreasonable patty man 1 ever met with, was Jack I.)., now a prosperous and influential Attorney, in S t'Ctnd v, in this Stale. At (lie hour o( which I am writinr;, lie was a ml hut Democrat, ami his chief jib-a-si;re seemed lo consist in tnakin;' the fact as notorious as possible to the world. Hi.s liiends and acquaintances, who knew him Well, a. id whoin he I.ad repealed ly "vic timized," vi:h one consent pronounced Jack a bore, and his politics a nui,ance ; but, with a stranger the thin;; was essen tially cliliereiil. Seized by the button, at the moment ol introduction, Jack would astonish him by a rapid rehearse! of the ar ticles of his political cr-ed brant h out into no intero ttiaVe rhr.jHoily on the maiii 'st ilkliny of the t'r. at iroresit e parly, anil if the tictini was iiiuimallv passive, wind up wi'li an eloquent eulogy on the great ''I did,' as the living embodiment of his peculiar opinions, and, in consequence, the greatest man of the age. Such was Jack D., at the time of our story, acknow ledged, on every sidej as a firm anil incor ruptible Democrat. lnit,alas! let us, how ever, not anticipate but to our story : One unlucky day, Jack met, at the house o( a friend, a young lady of great personal beauty ami accomplishments; attracted by her loveliness, anil captivated by her intel ligence, he became iduotis in his atten tions, forgot for a while his "principle," and without inquiring what niiht be the political preferences of his '-lady love," imprudently proposed, was accepted, and they were married. The Wedding vVas over, the guests had departed, and the happy pair had retired to their chamber, and were snugly enscon ced in bed, whett Jack, in the course of a quiet coovers-itioti with his wife, unwit tingly alluded to his favorite subject, by casually (-peaking of himself us being a Democrat. 'What !" exclaimed she, turning sharply and suddenly towards him, "are you a Dem ocrat 1" 'Yes, tnadrm," replied Jack, delighted with the idea of luting a patient listner lo his long-rest rained oratory. "Yes, madam, 1 am a Democrat a real Jehvrsouian Dem ocrat, ailfiched to the principles ol Ihe great progressive party ; a regular out and outer, double-dyed and twisted ill the wool." 'Ju?t double and twist voursplf out of this bed, then," interrupted his wile. "I am a Whig. I am, and I will never sleep vi'itli any man professing the abominable doctrines you do." Jack was Speechless from absolute amaze ment. That the very wife of his bosom should prove a traitor, was horrible she must be jesting. He remonstrated in vain tried, persuasion 'twas uselesss entreaty 'twas no' ro. She was in sober earnest, and the only alternative left him was a prompt renunciation of his heresy, or a separate bed In another room. Jack did not hesitate. To objure the great and established doctrines' of his party lo re nounce his allegiance to that faith thai had become Identified with his very being (o surtetuhr these gloilius principles which had grown with hit growth and strength ened with his strength, lo the mere whim and caprice of voman, va utterly ridicu lous and absurd, and he threw himself from the bed, and prepared to quit the room. As he Was leaving the door, his wife screamed out to him, "I sav, my dear, when you recant your herev, and repent your past error, just knock at my door, and perhaps I will let you in." The door wa evidently slammed, and Jack proceeded wrath fully in quest of an other apartment. A tense of insulted dignity, and Ihe firm conviction that he was a martyr iu the "right cause," strengthened hit pride, and be resolved to hold out until he forced hi wife into criUi!?Mati. Iu the morning the met him as if noth ing had happened, but whenever Jack ven tured lo allude to the rupture of Ihe night previous, there was a "laughing devil" in her eye, which bespoke her power, and extinguished hope. A second time he re paired to his lonely couch, and a second time he called upon his pride to support him in the struggle which he now found was getting desperate. He vented curses, "not loud and deep," on Ihe waywardness and caprice of the sex in general, and of his own t lie in particular wondered how much longer she would hold out whether she suffered as acutely as he did, and tried Unit! lo delude himself into the belief that she loved him loo much lo prolong the es trangement, and would come to him w ith morning perhaps that very night, and sue for reconciliation. IJut then came the re collection of that inflexible countenance, of thaUunhending will, and of that laughing arid tinpityiug eve and he felt convinced that lit; was hoping against hopp, and des pairingly he turned to the wall for obliv ion Iroin lhe wretchedness of his own thoughts. The second day was a repel il ion of the first no allusion was made to the forbidden subj-ct, on either side. There was a look of quiet happiness and cheerfulness about his wife, that puzzled Jack sorely, and he felt that all idea of forcing hereto a sur render, must be abandoned. A third night he was alone with his thoughts. His reflections were more seri ous and composed than on the night previ ous. What thev were of. of course were known only to himself, but they seemed to result in something decided, for about midnight, three distinct laps were made at Ins wife's door. No answer and 'he sig nal was repeated in a louder lone; still all was silent, and a third lime the door shook with violent attacks from Ihe outside. "Who's there?" cried the voice of his wife, as if just aroused from deep sleep. It's nie, my dear, and perhaps a liUle the best Whig you ever did see." The revolution in such opinions was radical and permanent. He removed to another county, became popular, offered himself as a candidate on (he Whig ticket lor Ihe Legislature, and was elected, and for several sessions represented his adopted county, as a fum and decided Whig. SINGULAR MODE OF COURTSHIP. The Rev. Dr. 1 n, an eminent Scotch divine, and professor of theology; was remarkable for absence of mind, and indifference to wordly affairs. His mind, wrapt up in loft y contemplations, could seldom stoop to the ordinary business of lite, and when at any time he did attend to s-cular affairs, he generally went about them in a way unlike any body else, as the nistory ot his courtship will show. He was gri aOy beloved by his Iders and con- I K" gallon, was lull ol simplicity antl st--Ci ruy, and entirely tinat quainti-d wilh the etiquette of the world. Living the solitary, comfortless life of a bachelor, his elders gave him frequent hints that bis domestic happiness would be much increased by his taking to himself u wife, and pointed out several voting ladies in bis roncreoalinii. any of whom might be a fit mulch or com panion l r him. The elders, finding all the hints, had no effect in rousing Ihe doctor to the using ot the means, preliminary to entering into a iniitnirioni.il alliance, at last concluded to wait upon him, and stir him up lo Ihe per formance of his duty. They urged on him the advantage; of marriage its hajipiness spoke ol it as a divine institution, and as affording all the eijoymerls of sense and, in short, all the sweets ol domestifc I if The doctor approved of nil they said, and apologised for his past neglect of duty on account of many difficult passages of Scrip ture he had of late been attending fo, anil promised lo look after it, "the first conve nient season." The elders, however, were not lo be put oil any longer ; they insisted on the doctor ut once making use of the means, and requested from him a promise that, on Monday afternoon, be would straightway visit the house of a widow lady, a few doors from him, who had Ihree pretty daughters, and who were the mo';!t respectable in the doctor's congregation. To solve any difficult passage in the book of Genesis reconcile apparent discrepan cies, or clear up a knotty text, would have been an easy task to Ihe doctor, compared with storming the widow's premises. But lo the raising of the siege the doctor must go, and, with great gravity and simplicity, gentle reader, you can imagine you see him commencing the work. After llie usual salutations were over, he said to Mrs. W n, "riiy sessions have of late bei'p. advising me to lake a wife, and recommended me to call upon you ; and as you have three fine daughters, I would like lo say & word 10 Ihe eldest, if you have no oiij-clions." Miss W- -n enters, and the doctor, With his, character istic simplicity sam to ner, "my sessions have been advising me (o take a wife, antl recommended me to call upon you,"1 The young Iddy who had teen tnme thirty Hum mers, was not to be caught so ea"Hy ; she l iughed heartily at the doctor's abruptness ; hinted fo him that in mating a sermon, was H not necessary to tay something first lo' introduce the subject properly before he entered fully upon it ; and at for her part, the was determined not to surrender her liberty at a moment' warning -"the honor of her tvx was concerned in her standing out." This was all a waste, of lime lo Ihe doctor, and he requested to tee her sister. Mist E. W -n then entered, and lo save time the doctor says, "my sessions have been advising me to take a wife, and I had been speaking to your sister, w ho bat just gone out at the door, and as she is not inclined that way, what would yoU thil il.' -'nVt nil' line. ......

I would not consent without taking time lo deliberate upon it." "My lime," says the Doctor, "is so much occupied, and as my session has said so much to me on the business lhat I must finish it to-day, if 1 can ; so you had best tell your mother lo send in your youngest sister to speak to me." In a moment comes the honeM, lively Miss Mary W n. "Come away, my child, it is getting on in Ihe afternoon, ami I must get home to my studies. I have been speaking to both of your sisters on a little business, and I hey have declined. I am a man of few words ; and without mis spending precious lime, what would you think of being made Mrs. L n !" "In deed, I alwaj s thought a good deal of you, Doctor; and if my mother does not say against it, I have no objections." The Doctor left Miss Mary in a few minutes, enjoining her to fix the day, for any would slut him; but to send him up Word the day before. The doctor was scarcely home before a keen dispute arose in llie family among the three young ladles, nil claiming the doctor. The oldest one said the offer was first made to her and she did not positively refuse. The second declared that she wished only a little time to think upon it; and the younger insisted lhat it was completely with her. The mother of the young la dies wds in such difficulty with her daugh ters, that she was obliged lo call upon Ihe doctor himself to settle the dispute. She called, and the reverend doctor, in his characteristic way said, "my dear Mrs. W n, I am very fond of peace in fami lies; it is all the same thing tome, which tif them, and just settle it among yourselves, send me up word." The doctor was mar ried to the youngest, and one of his sons is at this day a respectable; clergyman, "in the laud of the mountain and the flood." St. Louis Ihilldin. Modesty. It is said that a lady once asked Lord Brougham, the great English au Ihor and orator, who was the btst debator in the House ol Lords. His lordship mo destly replied, "Lord Stanley is Ihe second madam. . This is more than equalled by a distin guished lecturer on phrenology. He lold h:s audience lhat there were Ihree remark able heads in the United Stales; one was that of Daniel Webster, rihother John C.

Tlieie are many that fan claim relationship to the phrenologist, if not by blood, at least by sympathy and action. MECHANIC'S TIIK.

The New York Herald of yesterday pub lished another long communication from Lola Montez, fiom wliich we make a few extracts. She begins by saying : f am sure you will not refuse a. stranger, and that stiangdt n wdtttitti, a little space In your paper, for an appeal lo an intelligent and generous community, against unjust and illibetnl attacks upon her, intended lo pre judge the people against hpr. I am sure, too, lhat the good hearted American people, and of thi noble city, will listen to an inoffensive stranger, and pro tect her apainst rude and harsh treatment. I knttw that American gentlemen and Indies will frown on nny who nre guilty of rude, insulting, and vulgar tieatment of a visitor to their free, hospitable, and happy land. I know thpy will sympathize with a frmnle who seeks to deport herself unobtrusively and becomingly, when she is forced to co into the newspapers to defend herself ; and if she shows she is right, I am confident they will sustain her. Since childhood, when I first came lo know nf America, my heart yearned to visit it. I read of the tales of snflerinu eiitonnleipd by the Pilgrims who first came hither I read of the progress of their noble descendants of their resistance to British oppression, and of the gloiious deed of Washington, "peerless amour, ppers," of Jefferson, and Franklin, and Fulton, and Jackson. I stedied your institutions and all my dreams of romance were connected with yonr happy country. My career has been one of such vicissi tudes and adventure, that it almost equals those given in popular works of fiction, t sometimes look back on my life and wonder "is it true 1" "have I existed V' "do 1 live V or "is it all a dream V 1 have been wild and wayward, but, if i know myself, never wicked. I can appeal to every companion or servant in my whole life, of my own sex, to say if I ever treated them unjustly, unkindly, ami, I will add ungenerously. I have been traduced, and slandered, am! villified more, 1 think, than any human beini, man or woman, lhat has lived for a century. If nil lhat is said of me were true nay, if half of it were true I ought lo be tin i id) alive, The very alio cities lo me, themselves show their falsp. (mods. At the uye of thirteen, injudicious, bill well meaning friends, constrained nie to an alliance wiih one much my senior in years, but who had not my affections, who di I seek to win I hern, and from nhrirh I was obliged lo part myself. No one ever accu sed nie of falsehood lo my vows of fidelity to him. In my personal career as a danseust, bav ins' been in Russia, and being on my way to Yieiina, I slopped nt Munich. Soon after, I received from an aid of llie good old King Louis, an invitation to a royal audience on the next day. After hesiiating some time, ( yielded to Ihe solicitation of my friends, ac cepted the invitation, and had an iutviview wi'h tin; King at nounii.iy. The Kinu treat ed m with kindness. In a familiar con versation wiih him about French polities. 1 gave my opinions pieity freely, mid especi ally iu relation lo siiuie Fieuch editois whom I was acquainted with. Having al ways been, as I nm yet, in the habit of ma king full notes of pi. bite, events; men, and movements, I was enabled lo be accuiate. The King manifested great surprise at some of the Information 1 gave him, and seemed so deeply interested ns lo ask me to stay iu Munich, as his guest, for a few days. I at fist declined, ni!d finally observed, '-Will it not give cause for scai.'dal against your Ma jesty 1" The King replied, "No, I have no fear of thai." I consented to slay a few days, and renewed my conversations wiih the King several limes, on visils to him at his instance. These visit were unceremo nious. I talked to the King, as I always do to eveiy one, trulhl ully, Iraully, and wiih out concealment. I lold him of error and abuses in his goverment I told him of the peifidy of hi ministers. Honest and uu suspecting, he did nut believe it : but I pro ved il to him. He expressed his gratitude to me. His Queen was my friend. I expo sed to him esp-cially the art, duplicity and villany of his Prime Minister, Barnu D'Abel a Jesuit, who bad wormed himself into hi confidence. The Prime Minister, D'Abel, detei min ed lo drive me away, and fie plotted against nie, iitised all kind of (caudal about nie, gent to France, England, the East In dies, and Spain, to get false lest iniony against me. He tepreseiited lo the people thai I influenced the King lo do all kinds' of wickedness, and he attributed hit own op. pressive acts to the King and myself, fu all these filiation! schemes he failed, till be culled In the aid of the Austrian Prime Min ister, Piince Melierniih. Then ihey tried to conciliate and soothe me, and bribe me to llieir purpose. 1 wa offered four million of francs and the title of Princess,' if ! would consent to aid them lo control the King Id advance Iheif plan. ' This t indignantly refused, and immediately exposed Ibeir offer lo the King. He w aslouished, and exclaimed, 'it cannot be to. I determined to ptove it. I agreed upon an interview with Metlernich't and D'Abel' agent Baron Milium, lo a room, ine Kin"'ot,j41g concealed to that be could ber all thai pas sed. He heard the whole." Ha was conviu oed of Ihe treachery of those around him, an J he dismissed hi ministry forthwith. The successor of D'Abel was a liberal and a Protestant. My courser strengthened, the King's confidence in me and augmented the hostility of the jesuiis to both. They sought my life by poison ; they sought to assail my reputation by misrepresenting my position wilh the Kinp, and Ihey traduced me lo the people, as influencing the King to their injury. I am a humane, unobtrusive, defenceless dansevse, in a foreign land, with no relation, and no long tried, unselfish friend to appeal !o, and can only nsk a libetal aud generous public lo credit my simple lale. Can I expect Ibis in vain from the High tnuled free liberal, and honorable Americans 1 1 do hope, I do trust, Ihey will not child the heart of a sti anger, who wishes kindness to all, by harsh and cruel censure, upon idle reports and rbmors.

Kossuth lo the House, and he took his seat beside Gov. Johnston, on the Speuket's stand. The noise, confusion and cheering here became so great that the ceremonies of re; ceptiun were, for a tiiiip; suspended, and 4 the Speaker ordered the doors to be Closed j but this was found impossible, the mob having again acquired the ascendancy iu their vicinity. Gov. Kossuth sat rnhnly looking on, not aV feature of hid face disturbed. The military1 finally marched through the hall, and pass ing out at the back windows, filed round lo the front of the Capitol, with a view of again entering the Rotunda, and clearing it of the mob. The attempt, however, was futile. In llie midst of the confusion Gov. John ston arose and commenced his address of welcome to Gov.

Kossuth remained standing silent for sorrf lime, until the doom being closed, he com menced tiis reply, amid the now deadened shouts of the crowd outside. His speecti was listened to with breathless attention by those inside tho Hall, rind fiequently inter rupted by shouts of applause.
