Thu difficulties which foreigners encounter in their efforts to acquire the English language, are neither few nor light.— The following amusing dialogue gives a good idea of some of them : The Frenchman and his English Tutor. Frenchman—Ha, my good friend, I have met with one difficulty—one very strange word. How you call H-o-u-g-h? Tutor—Huff. Frenchman—Tres bien, Huff; and Snuff you spell S-n-o-u-g-h, ha! Tutor—Oh, no, no; Snuff is S-n-u doub-le-f. The fact is, words in ough are a little irregular. Frenchman—Ah, ver good. ’Tis beau’ful language. H-o-u-g-h is Huff'. 1 will remember; and C-o-u-g-h is Cuff'. I have one bad Cuff, ha! Tutor—No, that is wrong. We say Kauf, not Cuff'. Frenchman—Kauf, en bien. Huff and Kauf, and, pardonnes moi, how you call D-o-u-g-h. Duff, ha? Tutor—No, not Duff. Frenchman—Not Duff"? Ah! oui; 1 understand, it is Dauf, hey? Tutor—No, D-o-u-g-h spells doe. Frenchman—Doe! It is ver’ fine, wonderful language; it is Doe, and T-o-u-g-h is toe, certainement. My beef steak was very toe. Tutor—Oh, no, no, you should say Tuff. Frenchman—Tuff? Le Diable! and the thing the farmer uses, how you call him, P-l-o-u-g-h ? Pluff', ha! you smile, I see 1 am wrong, it is Plauf? No! ah, then it is Floe, like Doe; it is beautiful language, ver’ fine—Floe! Tutor—You are still wrong, my friend. It is Plow. Frenchman—Plow! Wonderful language. I shall understand ver’ soon.— Plow, Doe, Kauf; and no more—R-o-u-g-h, what you call General Taylor; Rauf and Ready? No! certainement, is is Row and

Ready?

Tutor—No! R-o-u-g-h spells Ruff. Frenchman—Ruff, ha! Let me not forget. R-o-u-g-h is Ruff, and B-o-u-g-h is

Buff, ha!

Tutor—No, Bow. Frenchman—Ah ! ’tis ver’ simple, wonderful language, but I have had what you call E-n-o-n-g-h! ha! what you call him? Why was Henry Clay repudiated by the Whig Party?—The above, though a simple question, is pregnant with interest, and this time may not be uninteresting to refer to it. The question is a simple one, and of easy solution. Henry Clay has ever been the friend of the whole country not suffering himself to be made the tool of any sectional clique, but always foremost in every movement that had for its tendency the success and prosperity, of his common country, and so he now stands. But “circumstances” pertaining to that “practical institution” rendered it necessary that Mr. Clay should be a factionist —or in other words unite himself to the slavery faction of the South, else he would no longer be considered Henry Clay! Did he do it? No! In his celebrated Lexington speech he declared himself for freedom—declared himself opposed to the further extension of slavery—consequently no longer to be trusted by the South— he was thrown aside; the cry was, he is not the man for the times—we want (said the South,) a man that will stand by our interests—and that man we’ll have in the person of Gen. Taylor. The South nominated Gen. Taylor over Henry Clay because Henry Clay was not to be trusted— and thedough faces of the North said amen! — Whig Standard. The Germans Moving.—We understand, says the Chicago Tribune, that the Germans of this city are about forming a Free Soil League. Among those who are most warmly engaged in the movement, there are several of the most prominent of our German fellow-citizens, and lately members of the Cass party. It may be gratifying to many of them to know that they are not alone in giving their votes for Free Soil, but that the germans are everywhere wheeling into line, and leaving the sinking cause of Cass. Yesterday morning a letter from La Salle county informed us that every Genrman in that precinct— and their number is large—has arryed himself in favor of Van Buren and Liberty. From DeKalb and McHenry we hear equally favorable news. In Wisconsin, we have assurances that three-fourths of the honest German voters are with us.— In Cincinnati, and throughout Ohio, it is pretty much the same. In Missouri, there are 10,000 German voters, and nearly all of them will go with us heart and hand.—

There are obvious errors in this.

Pretty good Authority for the considering the Jeffersonian Proviso constitutional. George Washington, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, James Monroe, Andrew Jackson and Martin Van Buren, each and all of them approved, while President of the United States, of acts of Congress or Ordinances prohibiting slavery—as the following facts

will show:

The article of the Ordinance prohibiting slavery in the North-west Territory was ratified by Congress in 1789 and approved by Washington. In the act orgonizing the territory of Mississippi, passed in 1798, and approved by John Adams, Congress exercised the right to legislate on slavery in the territories by prohibiting the importation of slaves from places without the United States; although the Constitution gave Congress no right to prohibit the foreign slave trade in the

States until 1808.

Gen. Taylor is opposed to the extension of slavery, why don’t, lie come out in a letter and say so? That would settle the matter. Wisconsin. The Southport Telegraph announces “ by authority” that Warren Chase, the Senator in the Wisconsin Legislature, from the 4th district, lias taken the slump for Van Buren and Adams. He has heretofore been for Cass. Mr. Chase writes the Telegraph from Ceresco, as follows: “ We had a meeting here to day in the rain; over 200 present besides our folks, and only one Cass man. 1 have scarcely seen a “ regular” since my return. We shall give 8 out of tun of the votes in the several towns about here for Van. You may count on a majority in Marquette, Winnebago and Fon du Lae, and we shall reach some furthei. There is an universal ferment. We have appointed a circle of meetings, and I shall make up for lost time.” Mr, Chase, it adds, is a most valuable accession to our cause, and wherever he moves in the work, it will tell.

And Wiisrevs, It is due not only to this occasion, but to the whole people of the United States, that we should also declare ourselves on certain other cases of national j>olioy, therefore, Resolved, That we demand cheap postage for the people; a retrenchment of the expenses and patronage of the federal government; the abolition o! ail unnecessary offices and salaries, and tbe election by the p ople of all civil officers in tbe service of the government, so far as the same may

be practicable.

Resolved, That River ami Harbor improvements whenever tlemandctl by the safety and convenience of coimivt rce with foreign nations, or among the several f-s.tte?, are objects of nation'll concern, ami that it is the duty of Congress, in the exercise of its constitutional powers, to provide therefor. Resolved, That the free grant to actual settlers, in coiuideiioitiii of the expenses incurred in making settlements in the wilderness, 'which are usually fully equal to their actual cost, and of the public benefit rcseulting therefrom of reasonable portions of the public lamia, under suitable Imitations, is a wise and just measure of public police, which will promote in various ways, the interests of all the States in this Union; and we therefore, recommend it to the favorable cansider-

Resolved, That tire obligations of honor and patriotism require the caikest practicable payment of the national debt; and we avo therefore in favor of such a Tariff of duties, as will raise revenue adequate to defray the n> ccssary expenses of the federal government, and to pay annual instalments ol our debt and the interest thereon.

—Boston Post.

Let it be Remembered, That the Taylor Party is a coalition of Whigs, Natives, and Nullifiers, in favor of a man pledged in the opinion of the South, by his interests and feelings, in favor of the Exlension of Human Slavery. Let it be Remembered, That the Cass Parly is an alliance of Northern Conservatism with Southern Aristocracy, to overthrow the Jeffersonian Ordinance of 1787, and elect a candidate pledged to Establish Slavery in the new Territories. Let it be Remembered, That the Free Democracy is a united party, rallying in support of the principles of Constitutional Liberty, and supporting a candidate pledged to the restriction of Human Slavery. If our opponents point to the past position of our candidates, let us retaliate by pointing to the present position of theirs. If on our side they point to men who have waited to join the standard of Free Democracy, till this crisis arrived, let us in return point to the fresh abandonment by their candidates of the principles of Democracy. Every candidate that we present to the people, is now henceforth and forever with the Free Democracy. Every candidate of our opponents is arrayed against our creed.—Albany Atlas.

BUFFALO PLATFORM.

Whereas, We have assembled in convention as a union of freemen, for the sake of freedom, forgetting all past political differences in a common resolve to maintain the rights of free labor, against the aggressions of the slave power, and

to secure free soil for a free people ;

And Whereas, The political convention recently assembled at Baltimore and Philadelphia, the one stifling the voice of a great constituency, entitled to be heard in its deliberations, and the other abandoning its distinctive principles for mere availability, have dissolved the national party organizations heretofore existing, by nominating for the Chief Magistracy of the United States, under slave-holding dictation, candidates neither of whom can be supported by the opponents of slavery extension, witbout a sacrifice of consis-

tency, duty, and-self-respect.

And Whereas, These nominations so made, furnish the occasion, and demonstrate the necessity of the union of tbe people under the banner of free democracy, in a solemn and final declaration of their independence of the slave power and of their fixed determination to rescue the federal government from its control; Resolved Therefore, That we the people, here assembled, remembering the example of our fathers in the days of the first declaration of independence, putting our trust in God for the triumph of our cause, and invoking his guidence in our endeavors to advance it, do now plant ourselves upon the national platform of freedom, in opposition to the sectional platform of slavery. Resolved, That slavery, in the several States of this Union which recognize its existence, depends upon State laws alone, which cannot be repealed or modified bv the federal government, and for which laws that government is not responsible. We therefore propose no interference by Congress with slavery within the limits of any State. Resolved, that the proviso of Jefferson, to prohibit the existence of slavery after 1800, in all the territories of the United States, southern and northern; the votes of six States and sixteen deleantes in the Congress of 1784, for the proviso, to three States and seven delegates against it; the actual exclusion of slavery from the northwestern territory, by the ordinance of 1787, unanimously adopted by the States in Congress; and the entire history of that period, clearly show that it was the settled policy of the nation, not to extend nationalize or encourage, but to limit, localize, and discourage slavery; and to this policy which should never have been departed from, the government ought to return. Resolved, That our fathers ordained the Con stitution of the United States, in order, among other great national objects, to establish justice, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty; but expressly denied to the federal government which they created, all constitutional power to deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due legal process. Resolved, That in the judgment of this convention, Congress has no more power to make a slave than to make a king;—no more power to institute or establish slavery, than to institute or establish a monarchy:—no such power can be found among those specifically conferred by the constitution, or derived by any just implication from them. Resolved, That it is the duty of the federal government to relieve itself from all responsibility for the existence or continuance of slavery, wherever that government possesses constitutional authority to legislate on that subject, and is thus re-

sponsible for its existence.

Resolved, That the true, and in the judgment of this convention, the only sale means of preventing the extension of slavery into territories now free, is to prohibit its existence in all such terri-

tory by an act of Congress.

Resolved, That we accept the issue which the slave power has forced upon us, and to their demand for more slave States, and slave territories, our calm but finale answer is, no more slave States, no more slave territory. Let the soil of our extensive domains be ever kept free for tbe hardy pioneers of our own land, and the oppressed and
