A Fact. A day or two since, a friend of ours, a merchant in this city, was hailed in the street by a tall, rough looking fellow, very plainly attired in linsey-wolscy, cowhide boots and slouched hat, who accosted him with "Hollo, there, mister, I say, aint your name I" "That is my name, sir, replied the merchant. "Well, how d'ye? Sposc you don't know mc though.' "I do not recollect having seen you be fore." MWell, spose not, but what I was goin' to say was haint you got an eiglity acre lot in Wisconsin, county, eh? ' "Yes, I believe I do own a lot there.' "Well now, perhaps you'd like to sell that 'are lo.t?" ' "Well, sir, I am in a hurry, do you wish to buy ill" "Well, now, I don't know what do you ask for that 'are lot." "Two thousand dollars, sir." "Two thou two thousand dollars! no, you're joking." "If you wish to purchase, sir, you know my price." "Well, now, wouldn't you lake nineteen hundred if you could get it eh?" "Why, sir, who will give it?" aiked the merchant eagerly, (for he had bought it only a few months since at government price, "Well, will you take it? that's what I want to know." "Yes, sir, I will take nineteen hundred" "Make out your papers, then," said tho stranger. "I've got tho Money here's witnesses to the bargain; and so saying, he drew from his capacious pockot, a largo bag labelled 'shot,' from which he counted out tho rhino, and took his deed, evidently well picaseu wiiu nia uurgum. "You seem pleased with the trade, sir,' said tho merchant. "Well I guess I might 33 well," rfaid tho stranger. "Why," returned tho merchant, "have you seen tho lots "Well, Icuoss I have.'' "Is tho land remarkably good?" contin ucd the merchant, supposing ho had been trading with a green 'un. "It'll do," said tho buyer. "What is it worth?" said tho seller. "Well, I don't know what its worth but I've dug about ton thousand dollars worth of lead oro out on't a ready I can't tell how much more I'll got" and with a broad laugh, he stuffed tho deed in his pocket, and left our chop-fallen friond to consider how much lead ore the balanco of his eighty ncro lots in Wisconsin" might i 71. i.'i I'., (,.., pOSSlUly vulliaui. iii.il JnmiiBii OFFICE OF THE DEMOCRAT, NnxT door to Capt.

N1UTI.Y UXKCUTKl) At Uio ofllec of tho .Columbia Democrat. w . P-KOSPISCTUS of Tin; AND Democratic Review. N tho tint of July, 1837, will bo published at Washington, District of Columbia, nnd deliv. cred simultaneously In Iho principle cities of the l nitcd States, a new Monthlv Magazine, under the ubovo title, devoted to the principles of the Demo cratic party. It has born apparent to many -of tlio- reflecting members of tho Democratic party of tho United Stales, that n periodical for tho advocacy nnd dilFu sion of their political principles, Bituilnr to thoso in such active and influential operation in England, u a desideratum, which it was very important to sup- piy a penouircu which khuiiiu iijuuj wmi mo at. tractions Tjfnuound and vigorous literature, a po litical character capalilc ol giving cllicicnt support lo tho doctrines nnd measures of that party, now maintained by a largo majority of the people. Bis cussing the groat question of poliry before tho country, expending and advocating the" Democratic doctrine through tho mogt able pons that that partj can furnish, in articles of greater length, more con densed force, more elaborate research, and more ele vated tone than is possible for the news-paper prcti, n Magazine of this character becomes nn instrument of inappreciable value for the enlightenment and formation of public opinion, and for tho support ol tho principles which it advocates. By these means, by thuj explaining and defending the measures ol tho great Democratic party, and by always luriiuh- ing to the public a clear und powcriul comniciit.uv upon those complex quektions of policy and part) which so frequently distract the country, and upon which, imperfectly Understood as they often are by friend1), and misrepresented and distorted as thrj never fail to bo by political opponents, it is of tin- utmost importance unit lle public should be lull and rightfully informed, it islmped iho periodical m question may bo made to exert a beneficial, ratiuii al, and lasting influence on the public mind. Utlier considerations, winch cannot be too limliK appreciated, will render tho establishment nnd suc cess of the proposed Magazine of very grcut impor tance-. In the mighty hlruaslc of antagonist wMciiili which is now going on jn society tho Democrat!! Party of the United States stands rommittcd to thf World as the depository ami exemplar of tlm-p cardinal doctrines of political faith with which tin cause nf the Vevple in every oge nnd country is i- ilcniilicd, Uluclly lrom tho want ofa convenient means of concentrating the intellectual energies ,i its disciples, this party has hitherto been ulmnst wholly unrepresented in the republic of letters, while tho views and policy of iUomiosine creeds arc dmh advocated, by the ablest and most commanding rf- loriam genius and learning. In tlio United btctlcj Magazine the attempt will be made to rcmov o this reproach. Tho present is the timo peculiarly appropriate for the commencement of such an undertaking. The Democratic body of tho Union, after n conflict whirl' tested to iho uttermost its stability nnd its principle, , have succeeded in retaining possession of tho cxtc-u-tivc ndmiuistrntioli of the country. In tho conse quent comparative repose from political strife, the pe riod is suspicious for organizing nnd calling to its aid a new and powerfully ally of this character, intcrfc ring with iiono co-opcraiing with nil. Co-onlinato with this main design of the United Stale Magazine, no care norcost will bo spared in render it, in a literary point of view, honorable to tin country, and fit to cope in rigor of rivalry with its European competitors. Yicwing tho English lan guage as the noblo heritage nnd common birthright of all who speak tho tongue of Milton and Shake pear, it will bo tho uniform object of its conductors t" present only tho finest productions in tho various branches of literature, that can bo procured; nnd In diffuse the benefit of correct models of taste and wor thy execution. In this department exclusivcness of party, which is inseparable from the political department officii u work, will have no place. Hero wo all stand on neutral ground of equality and reciprocity, when thoi.0 universal principles of taste to which wo arc u' alike subject will alone be recognised us tho comnii 'i law. Our political principles cannot be cornpromito!. but our common literature, it will bo our prido t" cherish and extend, with a liberality of feeling an U ttiied by partial or minor v iews. As tho United States Magazine is founded on llv broadest basis which the means and influence of the Democratic parly in tho United States can present. Unintended to render it in every rospecta thorough National Work, not merely designed for ephem eral interest and attraction, but to continuo of pernn lent historical value.
