THE PERREGRINATION, THE VIS
IT, AND ITS OBJECT.
Mr. AVnun Unpleasant associations of
thought arc sometimes forced upon the mind
of a man by circumstances over which he
lias no control. Such must have been tho
mtnation of mind, of the Representative of
tho 10th Congressional district of Pennsyl
vania; when he recently " ordered horse,"
and set o(T, to consult his predecessor in of
fice, and Oracle in consistency, in the Val
ley of Wyoming. His unbending patriot
ism" (alias indomitable obstinacy) his "stern
adherence to democratic principles," as wit
nessed in his procuring the displacement of
Democratic, to mako room for a score of
Federal Post Masters, and his " great public
services" for tho benefit of himself, and his
, few personal friends, had held hid " com
manding talents" in constant irritation (ill
nearly the close of two terms, and till the
very moment when public opinion, accord
ing to tho usages of tho party, was busily
I engaged in designating his succossor. At
that moment he seems to have fancied a ray
of the purest light darling through his miii'l,
and pointing him to hie Oracle, tho preton
, ded Almoner of Democratic favors in Lu
, zernc county, as once, abundantly able to
force him upon tho people of the District
; for a thiid term. How well he succeeded,
I the people were soon enabled to judge, by
his " billions efiiusion," soon after his re
turn to Danville, in which several of the
most worthy citizens of the State, were vio
lently traduced, and still other vials of his
wrath were threatened to be poured out up
on the real Democracy of tho country.
His supposed ray of light, proved howev
er, to be a dark cloud of political dementa
tion, verifying an old saying of somebody,
which, as ho protends to bo a classic scol
lar, we will quota for his benefit, viz :
" Qucm primus pcrdcrc Vult, Delia ie
mcntal." The augury proved unfavorable
to his wishes, and plainly indicate that tho
fates had doomed him to tho 11 dull mono
tony of privato life."
It is not indued surprising, that after hav
ing wrought himself up to the most enthu
; siastie belief that Democracy was bound
; to, and would willingly yield every thing
I to tho gratification of his ambition, such
untoward fortune, should havo produc
ed uncommon mental and bodily misgivings.
His mind is said, on his way home, to hare
i .exhibited decidedly nbid syraptoms.and his
pasied hand, Oh '. tell it not to Valentine,
t lefuscd for a time, to " wield a pen." Such
however is the frailty stamped upon poor hu
man nature. Even C'easar had an Ague
once, and cried " give me drink, like a sifk
boy." And tho great Napoleon, was forced
to sav " my politiciil life is ended." Tho
reflection that even thoso great man, havo
not been exempted from the calamities in
; cident to our nature, it is hoped may havo
: a tendency to restoro tho Doctnr'a mir.d, to
at least, its accustomed tranquility, and a
few soothing political remnisrences, acting
as anodynes may again brace his nerves,
f and enable him lo complete his works of
I detitincialiou, by coupling therein Democ
f rnry with Democrats. Then, should liar
t rison bo elected Prcscdcn, and John Q.
i Adaras bo appointed to represent tho digni
t tv of our Government at the Court of Hay-
li, ho may have tho no less splendid satis
faction of being Minister Plenipotentiary to

THE DEED THE DEED.
On tho 17th of July last, the federalists
in the United States Senate, evinced their
hatred for poor men by actions which wo
all know speak louder than words. On that
day the petition of the mechanics aud labo
rers of Washington City, asking that they
might bo permitted to vole as well as tho
rich Freeholders, was acted upon, and every
Federalists, except Mr. Smith of Indiana. vo

rogo. "Yeas. Messrs. Allen, Brown.Ucnton,

After some debate in which the Whig
members denounced the bill in strong terms
a motion was mado by its oppoucnts to lay
tho bill upon the table, or defeat is indirect

as follows j

and Wright 25.
Another attempt was made, at this stage,
to stop the bill, by Senaior Knight. But he
was triumphantly replied to by Mr. Nor
