I went to Edinburg, (1812) where 1 had not been for ten years. X found a noble passage into the town, and new since; my time; two beautiful chapels, two of the handsomest library rooms in Great Britain, and a wonderful increase of shoes and stockings, streets end houses, When I lived there, very few maids had shoes arid stockings, but plodded about thehouse with.feet as big as. a.family bible, and legs as large as portmanteaus. I stayed with Jeffrey; My time was spent, with the Whig leaders of. the Scotch bar, a set of vety honest, clever men, each poscss* ing thirty-iwo difiereut sorts of wine;— My old friends were glad to see me; some had• turned Methodists, soma had lost choir teeth", some had grown very rich, some vety fat. some were, dying, and, alrisf alas! many, were dead; but tho,world is a coarse enough place,-so Italttff nvvay, cbmforted some; praised oilier?, kissed some-old ladles; and passed a /ery riotous week.— Sydney Smith. v// t

money Still Wanted!

Our call for money some two or throe weeks ago, has been responded to by a number of those indebted to ns. But there are many others who owe us, who wo hope will call up immediately and pay us—we must raise a considerable sum by the 30th of this month. A very mean man has involved us by his rascalityj and wo must have money to pay off the claim against as.

It is : conceded now that the contest.in free States next yearwill be between the democracy and aboli tubists.— Lou. Dem.

Respectively yours, Girds E. Hull;

No such Infernal lie is conceded at all. There are some abolitionists in the free States, to bo sure; but they. will poll in 1856 no greater vote than they polled in 1853, or in 1848. The contest in the free States in 1856 will be between Americans and anti-Americans'—just as will.bo the contest in the slave Slates—between men who love their country and reverence the patriots of old, and arc guided by their maxims of wisdom; and between the demagogue? and their hordes, who, sacrificing principle, nationality : and every other sacred thing, would kiss the Pope's great too, and sell America for thirty 'pieces of. silver, provided that they could cajole dupes enough to give ihem offices and |ct them grow fat at the expense of all civilization, liberty, and human advancement.—Evansville Journal,
