The Typo of the Journal to his valued Correspondent, Gideon Duckworth, Esqr near the close of the reign of John Tyler the Traitor. My aleepy friend Prom your silence 1 infer you have had a long, and, I hope, refreshing slumber perhaps a dream! and "it is about that, that I would at present speak with- you. You must know that I am, at this present writing, in sore trouble, taken

some thing after the fashion of that young baby, you told me about, that had the "snuf

fles,1' and I am all fired scared that grease ' wdnt save me, unless it is daubed on everlastingly thick before a hickory fire. The

matter is this walking up street the other day in hunt of something out of which- to make up a paragraph for the Journal, who

should I meet but that chap on two sticks

not the "old gentleman" from beW but one

of his imps the same tellow as tried to piss

- himself off for the "Correspondent from Cat

fish," you know him, well, as I was'saying

we met now I always try to avoid that

chap, and Til tell you why, he has the awkwardest way of telling bad news of any fellow rever saw there is no plastering over with him, he cuts away like wrath, and ii does seem to do him so much good when lie has anything unpleasant to relate, and that is about asoflen as you meet hitn. You've seen S.ephen iu the character of "Wormwood Stephen is great in that character, or he used to be when he trod the boards well, as I was saying, now, mind you, I dont wish to be personal, very clear of it, 1 know how liable "gentlemen of the quill" are to lible suits. It always seemed to me that

they ate looked upon as fair game for every Jack in the community to kick (that dont

mean the chap upon two sticks anymore

than Tt does any body else, and consequent

ly he cant 6ue me for that do you think he can) but, if any body, does take it iuto his head to persecute me for a libel, it is my pinion they'll get "their trouble for their pains" it would be like "suing a beggar and "but I needent fiuish the sentence, you know what I mean, and can inform those all about it, as you hear have any such

nonsense in their heads. Well, as I was

about 10 Say Stephen Cant play 4 Wormwood' f not near as nigh to perfection as the lellow right across street from him cause why ouc is acting the other is nature, and nalure cant be beat no how it can be fixed Stephen is good in that character, but the fellow over the way can lick the salt off him when it comes to deciding as to who is he$ I dont think that I have said anything libellous su far, at least I have tried to word it so as to leave a loup hole fur me to crawl out of, and if that chap does sue mc, you may . promise yourself that Til "saw his leg ofl" Well, we met, that chap and me, he had a broad grin on his countenance, and looked as I always expect to find him when he has Dews bad of course to tell, develish.

- ."How are vou BMP says ho (some folks

pant learn politeness, no matter what associations they have.) "How are you Bill"Well, I thank you Sir how do you do " (you see the difference of our briuging up at a glance) "Have you heard the news,'" . saya he, and he sorter laughed sideways at me. I knew something unpleasant was coming, from the manner in which he biaced himself. "No," says I, and I had a great mind tq gay that didn't want to either; but some how, I am afraid of that chap I dont mean to say I'm afraid of his hitting me with one of his sticks I just wish he would come that drat his hide but I would lather him, and his sticks into the ' bargain but I'm afraid to be saucy for fear of his suing me,

and I dont believe, either, he could recover

much, at least he would'nt get his damages in the way he'd like if he did, but then its about as cheap to be civil, and as I always

"like to show a contrast when caught talking

.with him, I generally "come the decency.''

' 'NoIhav'nt,"saysI, "what is it?"-"I'll

tell you," says he, and he grinned awfully

fThere is an old gentleman iu town of your

acquaintance, just taken with the Tyler grip

and I am sorry to inform you that its catch

ing? and he snorted out like a man relieved

of a horse load of pleasure. Some folks

have queer ways of showing their sorrow

and had not the chap on two sticks said he

was sorry I should have believed from his manner that he was almost tickled to death

at the news he was conveying. "The Ty

ler Grip." savs I. "and its catching." '-How

; . and what have Itodo with that," says I, "

aint in office and what's more, I dont expect

I to be, aud I dont care a straw for John Ty

ler nor the man from Duck River either."

I thought for once that I was about to de

prive the chap on two sticks of the very great

pleasure he always feels when be says any thing that annoys a person; but I "hallooed

before I was out of the cane," that time. He knew he had me, and just kept playing rne around as I've seenjyou do with a forty-five

pound catfish when you had him on one of

your "pin-hooka" about the size of the quill I'm writing with. "You hav'nt nothing to do with it, hav'nt you, says he, and he laughed sideways again. I wonder if he does think it funny to keep folks in suspense, or polite

either, to tell a person bad news : and then

laogh himself into fits at it. Some folks how

ever doc t know good manners when they see it,and I'm thinking that chap's one of that sort (ifyou think that's libellous I'll take

it back.) "You dont print a whig paper, dont

you?" says he. "and there aint a neutral paper printed here in this place, is there?" says he, "and we hav'nt got a new Pos'.master, have we?" says he, "and you aint at all afraid of losing the advertising of the letters, are you?" says he, and then he laughed with his mouth, eyes, and ears, and with every other member, not forgetting his sticks. If there is any anything that I dislike, it is being picked up in that way ; and if it had'nt been that I knew he would have taken the law of me I would have thrashed him on the spot, and I'll bet a coon-skin if he had laughed at that it would have been the wrong" side of his mouth. It is bad enough to hear bad news, but it's outrageous when a fellow undertakes to rub it in, and I think I . would have been

justified in resenting it more than I did. But

to come at what I want to say : . I know you are a man that has seen a good deal of the world and know a catfish

from a gar as easy as nothing, and of course,

capable of giving advice; and I know, too, if j

auy body has your particular fiiendship its

myself, and that induces me to apply to you

in my present difficulties. Is there no way

then, by which I can be continued as printer to the Post Office Debarment in this place

short of an open war with the loeofbeo party?

The adveitisingof the listof letters is all that

is to be done in this place for that concern,

and it dont lake more than one l and to do it,

and I dont see why I should be Tylerized

now, after having the job for four years, and got the hang of it; and besides, between

you and me its worth something-lhe last quar

ter amounted 2,G2 and that is an amount

that aint picked up in every corner. It aint

right that I should be 'griped,' and I dont

think the TFhig party ought to submit to it.

One victim is enough and ought to appease the locofocos, & our old Postmaster is a gone

case, greasing his feet wont slide him back

again. And, besides, the Courier aint Lo-

cofoco no how. The editor was ;he tallest

kind ol a Whig orator during the last cam

paigu and gave the locofocos jesscy oh every

occasion, how they can consent to lick the

hand that lashed them is what pesters me

So, you see, argue the case which way you

will, 1 dont see how they can Tylerize me

constitutionally. Perhaps if you were to fall into a perpendicular sleep you might dream of some remedy for this gripe, which is about gathering me. Yours, as ever, TYPO.

CATFISH PINT, Jan. 29, 1845 To William of the Journal:

Your Letter to my friend Gideon Duck-

Wworth, was brought to me by Phil Under

wood as lives on Gideon's place cause why ?

Why Gideon's gone to the great crossings or

some other sicii heathenish country, sent by

the Committee of the State abolition Socie-

y, to work out some great good for the le

nighled people there, and bein acquainted

with Gideon's proverbs and maxims which

he has sot down in a big book that he left with me and bein' a sort of a depity for him and known' he would not come back till it

would be too late for his advice to be of sar vice to you, I entarmined to offer my advice free gratis, belie vin' it would be acceptable

since 1 tuke my text in Gideon's book of

Proverbs and maxims.

In the first book of- Maxims, chapter 7,

varse 5. 1 find recorded the text that shall be the subject of this present discourse. ,

The last clause, of the fifth verse, of the

seventh chapter, of the first book of maxims

"When thou hast a favor to ax always

lie spooney."

Our text is introduced by a narative of

the sayin's and doiu's of the great Gideon in his young days, when he was in the habit of

sparkin in the Jarseys where it was the fash

ion for the boys and gals to bundle. Its

gone out of fashion now all over the tarnal

civilised creation cause why? Why the

gals wears sich mortal bussels as makes it horrible inconvenient, unless a man would fust starve himself till his stomach would cave in and stick close onto his back bone. Now arter relatin of many of his adventures

in the way . of sparkin, and givin of pertickler

instances of success and failure in securin the affections of the Jarsey gals and assign-

iu the causes why he concludes with the

maxim which we have selected, as the result of much anxious thought and deep research into the causes why, of the conduct of human men and women, generally and of fem-

mine women in perticKter. "vvnen you have a favor to ax, always lie spooney." Now if you dont onderstand what layin spooney is, jest take a set of spoons and put them together if you put all the handles

one way and the hollow side all one way, they'll fit like a bugs jacket and all lie agreeable, but if you put them together any other way they wont gibe no way it can be' fixed, cause the points and angles and corners on

ly touches? - ;Ueu a close nt . no

want to get a favor of any thing human it aint amiss to put your big. toes and your knees and elbows and nose agin their'n fust so you dont do it too ruff, cause why? cause pleasure is always increased by the pain that was felt afore it and arter you've made them

oneasy that way jest whallop right over spoon-: ey, and give 'em a.close fit and say "lam

very sorry, I beg a thousand pardons, I was

kind of doziri and dreamin and didn't raily

know what I was doin" and arter that per-

tend to be sleepin, but always keep one blinker up and watch their motions and if they turn, you tu rn too, and arter little theyll conclude that you must be a kind good crittercause why? cause it 'seems so nateral like for you to , lie spoony with ; them, and

whenever they conclude that is nateral, you

may depend on geltiu any favor you ax, cause all nature likes natur but hates bussels and every thing else that's artificial

whether its founded on natur or not.

When spooneyin is done up snug, it nev

er fails. You no doubt remember the two

notable instances mentioned by Col. Slick. He says "Daniel Webster "slept with the

President all the time he was to Slickvilla

and he made him Secretary of State; and

Deacon Westfall, slept with Van Buren at

Alligators Lick, and talked I.im over to make him Post Master General."

Now Webster, succeeded cause why?

why he laid spooney, but the Deacon failed cause why? caase he dident lay spooney.

But it warnt his fault he knowed how, but Van Buren would'nt stand it. Van Buren you know is a short man and a mighty nice little feller, fond of sweet scents and specially musk, if its the right sort and brought from forrin parts. Well the Deacon was a very, tall man six feet 4 and he could'nt make a good spooney to Van without leaviu his own shoulders naked (and it was too tarnal cold for that) or kiverin Van's head up,

and the domestic manetactered musk that the Deacon bad about him made Van so alfiired narvus and oneasy that he could'nt stand bein kivered up. Now our text must be onderstood not only literally but also metaphorically it isappleCable to human intercourse in gineral, whether lyin' sittiu staadin, walking or ridiu' and is the same thing in substance as that advice

that the old man gin' Dr. Franklin ("stoop" says he "as you go through the world and

you'll save yourself many a , hard knock") only its expressed in strikener and beaut ifuller language. Let us now apply these remarks to your

own case you have had your toes and knees and elbows and nose agin the new Post master's jisl about enough to make his dander curl up a Iettle at one eend, like cypress shinzcls on the south side of a house in a hot day, and this is jist the pint to make spooney agreeable. Now jist turn spooney and

lay his dander and he'll feel so nice and comfortable it will be jist like a warm blanket after a cold bath and he'll fairly sweat drops of kindness. It dont make no sort of difference if he is a locofoco, fot a Whig and a locofoco can lie spooney jist as well as a gold spoon and an iron one. Behold a certain learned Judge and a certain foreign Minister, what a snug fit they

made and behold the result. That are Newtonal or nuteral paper as you call it, aint no more of an obstacle in your way nor a hedge to a sarpent. That Newtonal is a trying to spooney with both parties and he lies rightion his back, so he dont' fit neither of them but jist touches the corners here and their so as to make both feel colder between the touchin pints by contrast.

It makes them feel jist like the beginin of a congestive fever, hot and cold all over in

spots and streaked all over aud awful oncomfortable. Therefore take comfort. The new postmaster aint obstroperous but is natruly kind hearted charitable and easily con

ciliated, pervided you do the thing nice and don't lay ou the soft sawder too thick. He's

naturly easy to spooney with, and he is now too far advanced in years to put on bussels

or any other artificial incumbrance to render

it onpractible. I have wrote most too much

but feelin a kind of yearniu' for you I felt it my duty to thoroughly impress you with the

importance of the maxim contained in our

text. "When thou hast a favor to ax always

lie spooney." JABEZ EIGELHARDT

JOSEPH BONAPARTE. Among the occurrences, which, in taking a retrospect of the past fear, seems to demand

name more nonce than iu the hurry of the hour

was awaruea ton, in this country, is the death of the eminent personage mentioned at the bead of this article. - - Joseph Bonaparte, or as he was known among a. Count Survilliers, passed so many years an exi.'e in our country, and won during those years so much respect and kunlly feeling by his conduct, that we have thought it might not be uninteresting to our readers, as it seems in some measure due te the memory of one who is freshly re embered by many warm friends among ua, to have a brief notice of his life and death Joseph, the elder brother of Napoleon, and through lite his most intimate friend, was born in Corsica in 1768.' lie was together with Napoleon educated at Autun, where the tendency of their respective tustes and character developed itself by, their preference of, or excellence in, particular studies Joseph, the man or letters and of peace, doing for his soldier-brother his Latin and Greek verses; while- the future conqueror studied Caar and Alexander, and helped his brother in the mathematics. Elected a deputy from Ajaccio to the Corsican assembly in 1790, he ardently embraced the principles of the French revolution, . which he cherished lo his death, lie was speculatively, always a friend of Freedom, and though the crown of two nations had graced his brow, and two others tendered to hiin one in this our new world, were set aside by him he did not, in pewer forget, so far as he was free to act, his early pledges. iiis career in France was rapid and brilliant In 1796, he was the French Ambassador at Rome subsequently a member of the Council of five hundred, and in 1800, a Counsellor of State, in which capacity he, together with Roederer, concluded a commercial trerty detween France and the United States He was theplenipotentiary who signed lue treaty of Luneville, which gave peace to the continent in 1801 and the treaty of peace with England at Amiens in 1802., When the Empire arose, Napoleon being without male issue, Josepti aud his brothor Louis, and their descendants were looked to as the successors of the Emperor; and then it was that

JNapoleon first required that Joseph, so distinlingished in civil and diplomatic life, should

put on the harness ol the soldier. He insisted that one to whom the succession might fall, shouldbe versed in military, - as well as in civil conduct an i accordingly Joseph became Colonel ol a regiment in the famous camp of Boulogne. While there, the crown of Loinbardy was off" ered to him, but he refused it because the Emperor made it a condition of acceptance, that he should renounce his claim to the succession of the Empire, and moreover thai he 6houlu pay an annual tribute to France In 1806, althe head of an army of 40,000 men, he was commissioned to ovenhrow the English ond Russian domination in Naples and the throne of Queen Caroline. He easily and rapidly effected the conquest, and his own brow bore the crown which he had conquered. His brief reigu of two years was a succession of benefits to a

people who had been long degraded by a most

oppressive despotism. He founded civil and mil

him. In his new sphere he strove to adhere to

his previous course, and by mildness and Denefits conferred to conciliate the affection of Spain

He even besought the Emperor to withdraw all the French froops, trusting by frank and loy

confidence and sap.iort. His request was not acceded to, a'l . and the harted and jealously of foreigners, which mark the Spanish character, exasperated by the clergy and encour

aged by the presence of a large English, army, rendered all Joseph's efforts for a peaceful suc

cess, such as he had accomplished in Naples,

impossible. He was obliged to be the soldier,

and although worsted in the event, he gave in the various battle-fields where he was present. decisive indication of courage and conduct. Wearied with a fruitless struggle which promised no opportunity lor the kindly plans he alone desired to carry out in his new kingdom, he wrote to the Emperor, on 23d March, 1812, from Madrid, earnestly asking permission to resigu the crown that four years before bad been imposed upon him. In that letter he say:"I hare done no good and have no hope ol doing anv. In accepiing the crown 1 had no other object in view than the promotion of the happiness of this great monachy. It has not been in my power to accomplish it. . I therefore ask to be received by your majesty as a simple suhjec Permission was rt-tused, but the fortune of war drove Joseph from his erown and kingdom, end he was once more in France. The reverses ol 181314,

had overtaken French triumphs; the capital was menaced : Nspo'eoit with the fragment of his victorious armies was maneuvering between Marne and the Seine, with the hope of covering Paris but the overwhelming number of the adversary rendered success hopeless. From Rheims on. 16th March, 1814. he wrote to Joseph to whom, on leaving Pari he confided the defence of the capital, and the rare of the Empress and her son recalling 4o him and renew

ing his verbal instruction not to premit either Marie Louis or the Kins of Rome to lalt into

the hands of the enemy. In this letter he says

emphatically, "Quit not my son, and remem

than in the hands of the enemies of France. The

fertune of Astvanex. prisoner of the Greeks has

always appeared to be the most meiancnoiy

Empress and hereon, and the next day he fol

That fall, however, was inev'uable.and the chanr

Abandoning, thenceforth, not bis interest for the honor and welfare of France, bat all expectation of being permitted to contribute thereto himself, he passed his days in tranquil philoso phy on the banks of the Delaware. It wis in this retirement that a deputation of leading men from Mexico sought him out, and tendered to him a crown in the new world, whichwithout hesitation, he put aside. In 1839 family affairs required his presence in Europe. In 1840, an attack of apoplexy smote his previously vigorous health aud rjne,faculties; and languishing from the effects of that, and finally permitted.
