The Hon. Win K. King was unanimous ly nominated for the Vice Tresidency. ! ' ! A couple of facts. I When England will reduce her duties, we will reduce ours J when England will receive our productions, we will take hers.' Whig talk. Now look at a couple of facts. The ave rage of the English duty is only I l?per cent, while ours is nearly 40 per cent. In 1842, England received of us produce to the amount of more than FIFTY MILLIONS of dol lars, whiie we received of her less than for ty millions. Away with your hypocrisy! You. want a PROTECTIVE Tariff; and you mean to have it at all events. The Anti Somnambulist. There is at the Shsnnodale Springs, a negro man, who is something of a curiosity. He i$ ao inoffensive obliging creature, and is always emphatically 'wijle awake,' whendutf calls. Though above forty years of age, he has never been known to sleep! Neither man, woman or child, can say that he has been caught mioutf ; napping even for a A man named John V. Ford, of Troy, N.Y. has laiely made a machine for setting type. The Express says: i ; "It is traly a wonderful piece of 1 ingenuity and skill, and can be played upon precisely similar to a piano furte. A lady, or child, af ter it becomes familiar with the letters,can use the kevs with the rapidity almost of thought, and as the finder touches the key, the type (all precisely to their places into line. Mr. Ford has been engaged a long time in brioging the machine to its present perfection, and believes he has mastered every difficulty. Vlf he has, he has made one ot the most important dis coveries since printing was fis. invented. The machine will, if made perfect, effectually snock all typesetting into pi. We shall also add that a machine accompanies the above for distribution, by which type are placed in dif ferent boxes, by ibe same amusing cperatiou of playing on ihe keys.5 The next improvement will probably be a machine for making Editorials. We could name a Whig friend br two, of the quill, who would be glad to hear of that discovery. Animal economy. -As a. Yankee pedlar of the genuine Coonect'cut breed, was one day in froi.t of a country tavern watering a raw- boned horse whose ribs might beas easily coun ted as marblf s in a boys pocket, a iougish look ing horse jockey accosted the pedlar, to have some fun, as followsr j I say, I rather guess it don't cost much to keep thai ere creature in feed, does it?' Wal now,what would you give to know; jl make it a rule'neverlto trade for nothin.' Wellj said the jockey, if you can feed h'hT. on acy thing cheaper than laths and brickbats, and sapporrlife, I'll treat.' Done, said Jonathan, putting both hands into his pockets and looking up into the jock ey's face, 'I'll take yer up. stranger. I just gets a lot of shavings and pui a pair of green spec tacles on the animals nose, and the foolish creature thinks its grass, at that rale he eats a barrel a day. Now stranger rll take a sweeter it you please.' i One of the Dublin editors has been indie ed by the British government for publishing rom the New York Sun, the Kepeal tpeech ':.;' .;,: The Tariff1. - ' f The Y"liig tariff-mongers have a singular way of showing their regard for the people. They profess to give them bread, but instead of this iheyfeed them with stones. They declare that it will enrich the people to make every thing they must needs purchase, ear, and. make what they would sell, self cheap. They attempt to delude the agriculturists in to the belief that it is an advantage id' (hem to pay 50 dollars a ton for Iron, whic"5, with out the tariff, they might obtain for thirty to pay seven bits or a dollar per bushel for saltjthat without the tariff would be about two-thirds that price and lo pay for sugar under the tariff about twice as much as they would without it. These are articles that farmers consume much more of, whether tney are rich or poor.than do the merchants, lawyers, doctors., and others "of the bon pro ducing classes, who enjoy the blessing of Government without paying their just share towards its support. And when the farmer comes to sell, his market is cut off because thetariff has crippled our commerce and other nations, who would buy ot us, cannot because we refuse to buy of them. And al this that we may pamper our fords of the loom in New England; ouf lords oF the trip'hammer in Pennsylvania and Tennes see) the alt manufacturer in New York and Virginia; or the princely sugar grower in Louisiana. The millions roust toil and sweat, that the lew may 'wear fine linen and purple, and fare sumptuously every day Ifow much better would it be for us were we per mitted to buy wherever we can bo cheapest, and sell where we can self dearest. Less government in, matters of business- is what the country needs. Springfield lll.) Times.-. 0. A Flying Machine. The Baltimore Sun States that Pennington is progressing with his steam balloon, and expects in the course of twelve months to be travelling be. fore the wind. He has been for some time' in the mountatns of Virginia, constructing a model of this wonderful machine, and is now about to submit the same to Congjess.- Franco English: A French gentleman, rescued from a ducking in the Thames,and taken to an adjacent tavern, was advised to drink a tumbler of very hot brandy and wa ter, and thus addressed the waiter who was mixing it ' Sir, I shall thank you- riot to make it a fortnight.9 'A fortnight!' replied Joe, 'had'nt you better take it directly?' Oh yes, said Monsieur, directly, to-be-sure.buf not a fortnight not two week?. Singular Classification. The Washington correspondent of the Philadelphia Inquirer, has a very odd way of classifying the honorable Representatives of the people. He says; "At the commencement of a new Congress, it is extremely difficult for reporters to be come acquainted with the new members. My plan is this: I divide them into constel lations'. 1 first take the Bald heads, then the grey heads. After mastering these I pro ceed to the red heads, the black heads, and last but not least, the 6'pcAr-heads!" Ignorance of Danger. A child of one ortlie crew of the firitish hip Peacock during the action with the U. ! vessel Hornet, amused himfelf by chasing a eoat between decks. Not in the least ter rified with the destruction and death all a round him he persisted till a cannon ball came and took eff both the hind legs, ot the goat: when, seeing ber disabled, he jumped astride her, crying, 'now I've caught you.'
