Resolved. That President - Tyler has shown the pro
per Democratic spirit in his vetoes af Clay's baitkltills,
and in recommending the annexation of Texas, and
signing the present Tariff Act, all of which eminently
entitle him to the gratitude end approbation of eve
ry men that prefers the prosperity,of his own century
to that of the pampered aristocracy of Europe, and
from the purity 0 1, his lost ii(eolse eminence of his.

we look to hira / with donfidtince to continue his patri

thwarting Mr Clay and his federal adherents.

the people of this country is due. for his commenda
ble foresight in selecting 'our mechanics. for the con
struction of Iron War Steamers, and we look to him
with increased interest to locatie the Western Armory
at this ple-e. We confidently believe that we possess
better advantages as to location, fuel and mechanical•
skill than any other place, on the Western waters; and

rain, accompanied with thunder and lightning, during
which she was struck by the electric fluid, and her
wheel house somewhat injured The consternation
which prevailed anion; the passengers was frightful
in the extreme, though none of them were injured.—
The fluid seemed to ran ell over the boat. and for a
few moments the passengers were affected by the sul
phorous fumes. —Phil. Sun.
A sweet little brig Lt-eyed girl, some eight or nine
years old, came tripping into our office the other day.
and requested us to print the following "story." We
hope all our little black-eyed and blue-eyed friends
will read it, fur it is a very pretty story and contains a
good moral.
There was once a French merchant, who went on a
long journey, accompanied by his faithful dog. He
wont this journey to get some money that another
man owed him. He was fortunate. and obtained the
money Which ho went for. lie wok it and put it in
his bag. lie then returned towards his home. After
he bad rode some distance he grew-tired. So he dis
mounted from his horse, and took off the bag contuin
ing the money. This he placed under his heed for a
pillow, and fell Weep.
When be awoke. he 'lase and mounted his horse.—
Tie forgot entirely that he had left his bag with the
money in it, under the hedge where he bad been
- sac by and watched his

14.7riish Drags,- Medicines, Oils, Paints, Dyt-Stuffy.

He fixed and the dog fell.
He cried to crawl towards his ungrateful master,tmt
his master could not bear thesight, and hastened from
the spot.
As he - pursued his journey, he could not help reflect
ing upon his expiring favorite. He exclaimed to him
self; "/ had rather lost my money than so affectionate
a dog;" when stretching out his hand as if to gt asp his
treasure, he found that it was gone.
He saw the truth at once. 'What a wretch have I
been ?" said he. "Poor faithful creature! bow have I
rewarded thy fidelity !" He hastened bock to the
hedge where he had left his treasure. Here he found
his faithful dog. He was seated , by the side of his mas

hand. and giving a low growl of affectionate recogni
