IlarOur native friends are still endeavoring to find - acne person willing to incept a nomination for Mayor, sod they Oilier political martyrdom, an honor that -Mears Jaynes anti Johnson very prudently declined Wednesithey. The last person that we have heard -spoken of far the melancholy sacrifice, is Mr A A An, 'dame, a brother printer, who, if elected, would make most excellent (officer, but he is certair.ly too good lobe used as the tool of the squatters, who now as- AMMO to lead the dative American party of our city If any respectable portion of oar old chimes would instiertake to direct the movements of the party, sold nue their efforts to purge it of that spirit of religious persecution and proscription which hot-beaded reck less adventuters have connected with it, we have no Acrabt hut nativeism might .hrrelived for a considerable Use, and have been a formidable third party at our +approaching electioa. 'Bet the defm-med ofspring of old federalism has been, rendered more hideous than ita progenitor, by the infamous means to which it melted to give it strength and vigor, and in a short lbw it will be strangled by its own parent. Webelieve that Mr. Anderson would be as gocd a mendidate as they could bringinto the 'field, for, so far es our knowledge extends, he is not imbued with the illiberal feelings that have been adopted by many of the leaders of the party. But we do not believe that lir. A. will accept of the nomination; we think he has too much self-respect to be used as the tool of a few &squatters, who now lead the Native party or, if be is willing, we doubt much whether the said squatters would desire a person of his gentlemanly feelings to be the recipient of their favors. We infer that Mr. Anderson will prefer to stay with his whig friends, land let the Natives seek a candidate from among the band of adventurers that now lead the party. We have heard load complaints among them of the - treachery of Cordell, and they threaten to expel him Indignantly from the association! Considering that Ur. Cordell is a witig, we see nothing so very constr -labile in his condoct. John 11.. Adams, who, we be lieve, is good authority with all the factions of federal ism, says that "treachery is the vocation' of the whigs, and in deceiving - the natives, Mr. Cordell was only laboring in his vecatiOn as a member of the Wilig ..party. Mr. C.'s mental elfactories are sufficiently -acute to discover that nativism "stunk in the nostrils of thee people," and be thought that the sooner it was :asesolished tie better it would be for his legitimate party. To accomplish this, he adopted the mashie, "divide and conquer," and so cunningly did he play his part that in one short week he was able to create snob thieisions in the cativo camp that it will be im passable Ter them to restore bermony before the else pion. But it is folly to speculate on Native American ism in its present forlorn condition—a coalition to which it bas been brought by wing treachery—to might they meet, at 61 o'clock, *when they will again its through the form oT nominating a candidate. who will follow the example of 'his predecessors and de. ellse as-aeon as he hears of the impudent liberty they have tikes with his name. .:: Ii Q For want of something better to do, we picked +op the "NATIONAL CL•T MIIISTREL," published last vioriag, before the nomination of Polk, and were struck withabe overweening confidence and groveling adula tion which pervaded almost every line of the book. In fact, these are the only remarkable features in the songs of which the "Missrart" is made up. We vie surprised that a party which aims at the high ob ject of choosing rulers for this great country, and con -troilbor its policy.shoold net wit for nobler means to - .compass so ndble and important an end. To give an :Idtst of the high hopes of the whigs, and at the ratan Ntlaus show the extent of the political knowledge of their bards, we give a single verse of one of their songs, •whilth. after claiming New Turk, Pennsylvania, Nlce.,•goes on as follows: Couisiana, Illinois, And Alabama come sir, For Arkansas. Missouri too, And Florida make room. sir, They'll bt eak the tether, And march togetber. A band both bold and wary, For well they know, To beatthe foe. No chief will do but Harry. )low we have no objection to their claiming Louis *isnot, Illinois. Alabama, Arkansas, and Missouri, '(notte of which they gat, to be sure) but they should bate laid claim to Perils, because, in the first place, - she is democratic, and (what is quite as important,3 there is no such State in the Union! Then there is a song called "Dr. Possuw's Taesn,'' •in which is the following verse: "pat possum Pete, he tink he know'd diow to streak it along de National road, 'But Se little white coon up to dat. And be rim him up a supple jack." This is very pretty for a whig sung, and we sup pose has reference to 'that carriage" in a hick CLAY was to "streak it along the National Road," to Washington, when elected. Wog* is anmher specimen. They represent the stenotrY as "stuck in the mud," and then ask: Then who will help it out again? I'm sure 'tis Henry Clay! Unless we keep him in the West, And force him to say—"mtyl" Then let us work with alt our might, • To 'lest this shining star, And vote by day and sing by night, And fetch him from afar. • It la very andancholyto teflectthatllenry Clay wee *reed to say "star," he could not be "fetchedt om There are many other amusing and interesting sped loons in this book, which was intended fur the Parlor - Song Book of Whiggery, and therefore, is a refined ar tido, ss - the quotations will show; it was not, however, mach used during the campaign as it was prepared be fore the Convention, and its fun was poked at Van Da iren. . Mr. CLAY has again resolveato any is the shades d his "beloved Ashland." The editor of lite Bich snood Whig has seen a letter written by the "gt celled 'rap" to "head-biro-or-die," Botts, in which be regards his public life es ended ; sad, in reply to the applies -Con of his friends to return to the U.

EVP'Sir Robert and - Lady Sale have been paying a visit to Windsor Castle, where they were received with the most remit kable kindness by the Queen and Prince Albert.

The Quetta listened with the deepest attention; and expres sed herself in the warmest terms of congratulation at ' Lady Sale's hapy and providential return to her native land.

Batas.—The times, says the Ohio Statesman, are getting better, as the banks are going out of existence. A few years ago, when we had thirty-seven banks in Ohio, distress every where prevailed—there was no certoiaty in business, no certainty in the prices of property. 'Mena man went to bed at night be could not sleep with any assurance that the little money he had on hand for the last month's wages would not be found worthless before he arose in the morning. Sha ving and bank swindling was then the order of the Ail. But new, with only eight banks in the State, and them with bra a limited business, safety. certainty and pros perity in business, has been restored. But at this time no subject seems to engross the attention of the whip majority in the Legislature but the mode in which they can devise another system of banking, by which our Cot mar diraculties will be brought back. Rom and Nosegays.—The following extract is the conclusion of an ''Order of the Day," issued by Gen Washington, in May, 1778,commanding a general parade, salute, and ft st de joie, on occasion of France having espoused the cause of the American Revolu tion: The lino is tithe formed with and interval of a foot between the files. Each man is to have a gill of rum. The Quarter Masters of the several Brigades will apply to the Adjutant General fur an order UR the Constnissary of Military Stores, fur the number of blank cartridgei that may be wanted. Each otEcer and soldier is to have a nosegay in his hat. A gill of rum and a nanny fur each man! What an odd rapprochement! Cnrctsnart.--The New York Mirror hea secured the services Of II correspondent in Porkupolis. The fit st of his letters appeared in the Mirror. of Decem ber 10. and we make the following extracts from it. They contain the best description of Cincinnati and its vicinity that we have seem "Cincinnati, for instance, has a philosophy and a history, in a great measure, peculiarly its own. Its growth—its motley population—its commercial activi ty—its mechanical and artistic skill; these suach an unusual degree of attraction to the metropolis of Ohio. Of the extended and fertile area, watered by the tribu tary streams of the Ohio. this place has become the commercial centre, and its future pnepesity will de pend On the question whether such a relative position can be retained. It would seem that the citizens re:- eta this fact es beyond contineency, hum their un hesitating investments. In addition to domestic com merce, the present impulse is derived chiefly from two causes--rnechaninwl and manufacturing enterprise, and Pork Trade. The latter is in the very teeth of sentiment and romance, yet, in the winter season, it is the one idea of this city of the Miami.. Every road hither is now shoked with these übese pity ims--every farm house reeks with the "smoke of their sacrifice, ' and the months of December and January witness a massacre of the innocents, which out-Herods Herod St Bartholomew's day was uothing to what is in pro grrsa around us. "A 'wed as to thelotale of Cincinnati. The Mills, whose graceful outline is familiar to every traveller of the Ohio, are usually at a sheet distance from the riv er, but at this point they recede, leaving a valley with SA upper atni lower beach, a mile in widtb,and exten ding two miles from east to west. The Kentucky shore, opposite, is a similar formation, and thus is pro moted a symmetrical and beautiful amphitheatre, through which the Ohio sweeps in a graceful curve; a 'site marked by Nature, apparently, fora town. The hill east of us. now called Mount Adams, spurs boldly to the elite?. edge, es if to cover the retreat of its fel lows, and about half way wp its ascent is the Reservoir kw the supply of the inhabitants with water, while the summit is crowned by the Observatory, which is, at present, the object of Cincinnati cumplocency, par ex cellence, although the bnildiqg has been more than a year in course of erection, and is still incomplete.— The view from this point is very fine. At the western base of this hill u the town, which is built closely, with a superfluous economy in the size of its streets,and without any reservations for paths or promenades; as if a spacious and vacant valley were not spread in al most every direction to reproach such scanty allot menu. Health, beauty, taste, seem, in this instance, to have been made subordinate to a passion fur ground rents—te a spirit
