such trivial objections, Iva say that you
will become my wife. Oh: then I, and all
ut us shall be truly happy."
Sarah would not, or could not reply,
for she deemed it insincere and useless to
offer farther opposition. Ere they parted,
Frederick had imprinted the kiss of an
allianced lover on her lips.
" I have often thought on the ridiculous
figure you cut while popping the question
to me," said Mrs. Frederick Somers to
her husband, one evening about six months
after their marriage.
" You have not entirely forgotten that,
either, I imagine, for you must confess
that you gave me provocation enough to be
very angry, Saade."
" I acknowledge that I did; but I could
not help it, certainly. You will be sur
prised to know the cause of my laughing,
and you would have laughed, too, had you
known that we were to he married, and
that I knew it at the time. There you
were on your knees, half dead with doubt
and anxiety—looking as woe-begone as a
criminal at the bar, when if you had been
aware what an old fortune-teller told me
a few days before, you might have saved
yourself all that trouble to obtain my con
sent."
" Yes, I might have saved myself all
my misery arid anxiety, if I had suspected
that was chat you were so pleased about,"
returned the husband, vexed at the idea
of having been himself the cause of all the
anguish he had experienced at the time,
while he had the power of turning the ta
bles upon her, " but," thought he, " better
late than never, and I will have my re
venge even now."
Ire commenced in a grave tone,
"Why, my dear, I did not believe you
were superstitious!"
Nor am I," she replied, "but the old
woman told me my name when [ first
went into her room, without either of us
mentioning a word, and then she told me
other things that were true, and that I
should be married within the year, and
also described you so plainly, that I was
forced to believe her."
" And who do you think, my dear, told
the old witch all this'?"
" I don't know, surely, but I suppose it
was her familiar, as 1 heard them talking
together."
" That familiar, Saade, was neither more
nor less than your present husband.--
What do you think of that, my dear ? I
overheard you talking about your intended
visit to old Margaret, one day, and I im
mediately called upon her myself to give
her timely notice of the honor. 1 bribed
her pretty well, and requested that she
would favor you with an especial good
fortune, and even dictated the supreme
happiness, which it was my particular
wish you might realize. Was it any won

eh ? Whose turn is it to laugh now ? Am
I not the fortune-teller, of a verity P say,

Oh you!! it I had but suspected!—how
I should have hated you."
"Never mind, my dear, it's all past
now ; and she might have conjured a
worse fortune for you, had I not prepared
one for the occasion. You ought to be
grateful, to be sure, for my consideration

Death of Mrs. Tyler.
The National Intelligencer of the 12th
inst. contains the following notice.
There is no part of our professional du
ty so painful to us as that of announcing
the departure from this life of individuals
of honorable and enviable repute, and
whose personal virtues render their deaths
deeply afflictive dispensations to a large
and affectionate family, and to a wide cir
els of relatives and friends.
Such is the duty which we have now to
perform, of announcing the death of Mrs.
LKFITIA TYLER, wife of the 1 3 1115 i%
DENT OF THE UNITED STATES.
This most estimable lady was, in life,
more truly than we can represent her in
words, a Wife, a Mother, and a Christian
—loving and confiding to her husband—
gentle and affectionate to her children—
kind anti charitable to the needy and af
flicted. Deeply impressed in early life by
her highly respected and pious parents
with the truthful and heavenly doctrines
of the meek Jesus, in all her actions, with
whatever sphere in life connected, self
was forgotten by her, and the good of oth
ers alone remembered, which won fur her
wherever she was known the hove and es ,
teem of all.
The
t pure spirit which animated her to
such virtuous and exemplary deeds fled to
the bosom of its God at eight o'clock on
Saturday night.

I to promote their interests.
Since I have been in this county, cir
cumstances (not the least efficient of which
,have been the malice of political enemies)
have made me more of a politician than 1
ever expected or desired to be ; but if I
'know my own motives, my only aim iii all
my political course has been to aid in pro
moting the interests, guarding the liberties,
and securing the rights of my fellow la
borers.
This much I have deemed it necessary
by way of " defining my position," and if
necessary, establishing my title to be con
sidered a workingman in every sense of
the word; and I have devoted it necessary
because I have been honored with an ap
pointment by a meeting whose proceed-
ings, and the NAME they have chosen,
show them to be THE FRIENDS OF A
PROTECTIVE TARIFF, as the most
efficient means of relieving the wants and
ameliorating the condition of the workilig
classes. Candor compels me to say, that
though an ardent advocate of the interests
of the workingmen for the last 13 years,
and having during that time discussed with
the most intelligent of the real hard fisted
mechanics, and other workingmen, who
have been,conspicuous in their movements,
the best means of promoting their inter
ests, I HAVE YET TO BE CONVIN
,CED that a PROTECTIVE TARIFF is
'either necessary or calculated to accom
plish that desirable end.
If then this society of workingmen have
organiied for this special purpose, it will
at once be evident that some other name
shoulebd substituted for mine. If their
object is to elevate the character, improve
the condition, and maintain the rights of
the "Oiling millions," by whatever means
niay be found best calculated to secure
that desirable end, then I am ready to
join in them, and go with them heart and
“That Old Song.”
The " Watchman" of last week asserts
that Gen. S. Miles Green is a blue light
Federalist, as were his ancestors before
him— that he is inimical to the Interests of
the " Workingmen"—and that he la ad
vised by imported Yankees. We shall
merely remark that although these asser
tions of the Watchman are untrue, yet it
is our candid belief that the Locofoco lea
ders could get Patrick X. Maddens and
James Fultons to " verify" them by their'
extrajudicial affidavits. All sorts of vile
slanders may be expected from the same
source. " Iron Cages"—" White Slave
re—and Yankee " Committees" may
again be revived in the brains of certain
individuals. T he enemy is desperate.
Lectures.
Mr. D. W. SWARTZ delivered lectures
in the Presbyterian church in this place
on the nights of Saturday and Monday
last, descriptive of Modern Jerusalem, il
lustrated by numerous magnified and illu
minated maps and diagrams. The first
lecture we considered highly interesting ;
but the second, we are constrained to say,
was quite a disappointment—rather dry,
stale and unprofitable—scarcely worth a
shilling in worthless shin-plasters. Nor
was it of any advantage to the lectures to
have the church filled with boys, who, it
would seem, have neither parents, guard-
L iana nor friends to take care of them.
Examination.
The examination of the pupils in the
Academy under the charge of Mr. Tnom
,ts C. MASSEY came off on Friday last, and
was creditable to all parties concerned.--
Duty called us to other and less agreeable
scenes, so that v , e saw but little of the ex
amination, and therefore cannot particus

A SeCOND MOON Hosx.---John H.
Pleasants of Virginia, has written a letter
detailing what he calls a plan to abduct,
Mr. Van Buren in 1940, in case he had'

design evidently was to hoax Mr. Ritchie
of the Richmond Enquirer, and most ad
mirably has it succeeded. The old gen
tleman has been thrown nearly into spasms
and given the alarm to all creation" to
be on their guard against all such vile
plotters. Other papers, whose Editors
can boast more zeal than brains, have
caught the dreadful tale and are ricging
a thousand changes upon it. That and

Very Respectfully,
Your fellow citizen,
GEO. R. NPFARLANE
MR. CRRMER
• Above you have the eele
lbrated letter el PA r. McFarlane, " (regain;
his position." I ask every honest Amer
ican citizen, who desires to see American
industry prosper, to carefully read and
reflect upon it.
First let me call tl.e attention of your
readers to one fact. Mr. McFarlane says
the proceedings of the meeting, and the
NAME they have chosen, SHOW T HEM
to be the friends of a Protective Thriff."—•
Now the 'fleeting at Alexandria was call
ed by the central committee of this very
meeting, the proceedings and name of
which (so says McFarlane,) showed them
to be the friends of a Protective Tarr';
yet we find him there, among those who
called a meeting favorable to a certain
measure, (and to whom he wrote the above
letter to UNDECEIVE THEM,) with a
small coterie of his friends, palming him
. self upon their ticket. Does any one
think that "interest and inclination led
him thus to advocate or endeavor to pro
mote the workingmen's interest by so do
ing?" Now I hold it to be the duty of
every Republican to stay away from a
meeting, or take no part in its action, to
the measures of which he is opposed. Yet ,
you find this self-constituted guardian of
the character, condition, and rights of ,
the toiling millions"—the avowed oppo- ,
nent of the very measures their proceedings ,
and name show them to advocate,—seek
ing, and by some hook or crook obtaining,
a nomination. But perhaps he may say
we "reasoned together," and they "agreed
upon me as the end, and as the means to
secure the end." This much for that po
sition as defined by his conduct and his
letter.
But there is another view of this mat
ter I want the workingmen and all other,
Americans to look at. He openly declares
he " has yet to be convinced that a Protec
tive Tariff is either necessary or calcula
ted" to advance the interests of the 'toiling
millions" of our country. Again, 'felt
it to be my duty to UNDECEIVE the gen
tlemen who appointed tne, if in so doing
they SUPPOSED me to be the ADVO
CATE OF A PROTECTIVE TAR
IFF, or to regard IT as a benefit to the
mass of the people." Here then we have
his position definitely defined. He is the
open and uncompromising opponent of a
Protective Tariff. He cannot escape from
the direct charge, that he desires to see
the manufactures of foreign paupers and
foreign ten cent a day toil brought into
our country, in order to bring down the
price of American labor and American
manufactures. He may gild his notions
with as much love for our workingmen as
he pleases, he has "defined his position"
as an opponent of a Protective Thrift:—
What is a Protective Tariffl It is its own
definition. It is to protect American
manufacturers from a competition with
foreign manufacturers—to protect the
journeymen of America from having their
wages reduced to the same as those of the
poor oppressed and starving mechanics of
Great Britain, Germany, &c.—it is to
protect our country from being flooded
with the manufactures of countries who
starve their laboring poor, so that they can
sell cheap. This is a Protective Tariff,
and to this is Mr. McFarlane opposed.
One word to the workingmen of all par
ties, and I am done. Fellow-freemen :
can you go to the ballot box and cast your
votes for a man who openly dices the po
litical field, and says he is not in favor of
protecting your labor? No matter how
much he may profess to aid " in promoting
the interests, guarding the liberties, and
securing the:rights of his fellow laborers?"
In Europe the journeyman mechanic works
tor a few cents a day—he has to both toil
and starve; and the wealthy and proud
aristocrats of the old world can make their
, iron for less than one half per ton than we
can, and without a tariff' it is sent here—.
the market of American iron is destroyed
—and our iron works must atop. The
foreigner is enriched by his sales in the
American market, and the American
forgeman is thrown out of work. Titus it
is with every thing. It is true that there
is one kind of manufacturer who escapes
this effect. It is that man who manufac
tures castings—the founder. If there is
no tariff, he can buy the pig iron of Europe,
and make a much larger profit on his cast.
ings ; but the wood-choppers, miners, and
the hands about our furnaces must starve,
while he thus promotes his own interests.
Let me ask you again if you can support a
man who thus openly denies you the pro.
tection you so much need ? You may say,
oh, this is only a State office, that can have
nothing to do with a tariff. Remember
our State Legislature this year elects a U.
S. Senator, and his vote may secure or
destroy the tariff. I tell you, fellow
workingmen, you must, if you would "el.
evate your character, improve your con-
and raaintain your rights," attend
to the means yourselves, and not depen
on the n pie•crust promises" of ao r
knowledged politician.

made his appearance as a man untrammel

could desire a better opportunity to make
himself conspicuous, as a friend of the

him I Why at the door of a party caucus,
be.obelinr,o like a sycophant to be admitted
into the party harness; and that party the
one which fur years he had pronounced

Weston for any evidences of party fealty

It is the part he has taken in the passagt
,of certain laws, and his opposition tooth

I have not the copy of the journals, ye
I can refer to many of his votes, and
call upon the workingmen to tell by Cu
votes whether they approve of that cour ,

money should be paid for them excel

themselves should create ; and lie vote.
to pay John Dougherty FORTY THOUS
AND DOLLARS for those trucks which
had proved a using up concern to him.—
Here then he is voting for the purchase u:
articles he knew would produce no income
to the State; for if he thought they would
be profitable, Mr. Dougherty would get
his pay soon enough, but as there was no
money to be made by them, he would vote
that the money should be paid from the
State Treasury for useless truek.—adding
$40,000 to your taxes to enrich a friend
of the Executive.
He dodged the vote on the amendment
to the Constitution, providing that no man
could he elected Governor but one term.
Although elected as a workingman, and
pledged to oppose the aristocracy dance,
yet he will not agree to limit the powers
of a corrupt Executive to one term. They
had him chained to the party car, and he
drags it on, though it should crush the
wishes of the people.
He voted against the sale of the Poblie
Improvements, thus refusing to relieve the
people of a great portion of the State debt
and consequent taxation a and to relieve
them from a burthen which every year
adds to that already enormous debt, and
which is the every day scene of plunder
and corruption.
And to cap all, HE VOTED FOR THE
DOUBLE TAX BILL, thus showing that
he had no interest in common with the
poor tax paying workingman.
These are only a few of his acts; but
they are enough to satisfy the people that
Thomas Weston is unfit to represent their
wishes in the Legislature. Will the
workingmen of every, and no party, look
at the principles of this worthy pair, and
