I preferred leaving my country to being forced into tho army to fight for what 1 believe to bo unconstitutional. Those who' firmly believed iu and supported the Hem cralio doctrine previous to tho accession to power of ...he present rulcri and who have since enlisted into the army, aiding in destroying rights that the Constitution gives, aro acting inconsistent with what thoy formerly believed and practiced. If those who now have the enmmand ol pub lie affairs aro right, all before them must cortaiuly havo been wrong. Experience only is tho instructor for some. But those who read the Constitution, understand ingly, and have closely watched past events, can not willingly support the prin ciple the Republicans aro endeavoring to carry out. 1, f ix my part,shall never sub scribo to any Fuch doctrino. I would rather sacrifiou my lifo than do it. If principlo is worth supporting at all, it is tho duty of its supporter: to adhere to it till the last. Theso arc my views, and I hope that 1 may never become so foolish or bo led by tho influence of others, to ab&ndon (bam Excuse me for digressing, I shall recur to that whioh moro immediately attracts my attention.

You rcmembor Mr. S , better known ue Jim S , who kept 6 celo- drated oyster saloon, a few years Binoe, ucurly .oppotito the (other Ch&thamj Na tioual Theatre. It was quito a while go, duloro ''ShEniy" turned tho ''b'lioyu" up aide down with his inimitable Moso' Jim was a firht rate fellow, aud made the best stew that could be found iu York ; in fact, they wero iucomparablo nnd uot to be bcut. Consequently, ho had a great rush, especially between the pieces, and alter the performance iu tho theatre. Jim was one of the best imturcd fellows in the world, aud tho only possiblo wy of 'geiiing him off' was lo run down bis commodities; tell bim his stews were bad or bis rav?! spawny, when he knew they were otherwice, nud ho would be "riled" Si'inc; and no ono could blamo him for it, But I must tell you hew bo got "takou down." 'Waiter 1' cried out a oustomor ono night, just after having bcon sorvod with a smoking hot stew. "Waiter 1" and then ho rapped vociferously on the table with his spoon. ''Waiter!" and again ho rapped, not mysteriously, like the Roches ter rappers, but determinedly, as though I he meant to be beard, I "Plaso, air, what would ye bo plased to A good stew ! certainly sit.'1 ''Tastoft, nr." ! Jira tasted it. , "Voll, taid the customer, "how doo? it ttste V 'Well, said tbo customer, ,:how des it tasto?" "Cerv well, indeed, sir I nevor tast lile, nor you - ...

"Do you moan to Bay, nir," replied tho grumbler, that there is nothiug peculiar in its Uavor." "Nothing peculiar at all, sir, and if you think it docs uot tasto well, your mouth must be out ol or.dcr, and you should lavo taken a dose of medicine, rnthcr than an oyster stew." "My dear sir, don't get into a passion ; I said uothiug about the tnito uf ycur itow ; indeed I did not tasto it." Not Ute it," said Jim. ' No; Isaw those Miiinalsin it," (turn ing up Iwo giant cock-roiohes with tbo spoon,) aud 1 thought 1 would gel o.ip to taste it who wai a better judge of the ar ticle tnau l. Ob now it would have dono you good to 6ce how toon that slew was "hustled'' off tbo tsblo, and tho way that Jim pour ed some fresh oyitcrs into t clean bowl, and (at the request of the stranger) soused tho stevv pan previous to cooking tkiui, was a caution to all oyster caters, Before leaving tho promises, our rap ping hero drank and smoked at Jim's ex psnso, promising faithfully never to di 'vulgt &uj thing abou' testing the tl"w.
