As are are not members of that party, we should conceive that we had no right to uiid fault with iu? selection were it in r.i17 reepect objectionable, *o, perhaps, it is not partieulaly incumbent on us to praise its choice, free as it not only is from exception, but fit proper and worthy, as everybody knows the distinguished citizen to be whom the party has chosen as their candidate for the presidency. What course the whigs may pursue under the present political circumstances of the country, which candidate they may select or what person they may support for tho Chief Magistrate, it is not for us to decido or foi one to snv. It will doubtlew be deemed proper by tiiem to take council together as to the path which their duty to the eouulfv and their priuciplcs shall prescribe, and that path, we as unwavering adherents of that part)', shall be prepared to tread without hesitation and without faltering. Whether they shall resolve upon an inuependant course or not, and whether it lead to success or failure, belong to the future, but wo should l>? unfaithful to our own -sentiments and uniform avowals if we were to suppress now the expression of our pinion of the merits of Mr. Fillmore and the confidence with which on trial ho inspired the country in his qualification for a wise and safe and conservative President. :7;Of the respectable gentleman whom tho party has placed on their ticket for the Vice 1 Preidency we are less qualified to speak.? lie is a man of talents and of some experience in public affairs, having reposented the country abroad, both at Merlin and Frankford. lie is a meuber of Gen Jackson's family and once a leading member of the Democratic party, but his career has been marked by great political independence, j evincing integrity and patriotism.?

Tire astonishing performances of these animals defies all des cription, and has been the theme of univerval wonder and admiration wherever they have appeared. They stand on their heads and on their hind legs, sit up and lie down at the word of command, inarch and per form a variety 01 icats too numerous 10 oe described here; but the most astonishing frat of all is the ascension of one up a narrow inclined plane to a height of between twenty and thirty feci, a? the top of which is a small circular pedestal. The huge animal having accomplished the perilous as" cent, stands on his head and hind feet alternately, which to be believed must be seen, clearly proving that, although so clumsy in appearance, they possess more than an ordinary share of agility. ? ? - ? A Jl'doe Fining Himself.?Under this heading the Baton Bongo Comet of Wednc3 day last, has tho following : Judge W. B. Robertson, of the Sixth District Court, on discharging the grand jury Tuesday Ia>t, reprimanded himself f<>r bar- j ing forgotten the day fixed by law for the j present terra of court in this parish, and fur this oversight informed the jury that he should nne nimsen iweniy-nve oouars. no immediately drew a cheek for the amount, and handing it to tho Sheriff inatructed him to collect the same and give it to tho Female j Orphan Association of Hnton Rouge. Such an act calls to mind the record of an- \ cient Rome, wheu judges and legislators were so heroically allied to justice and tho 1 laws, as to deal penalties on their own sons and brothers when tliey transcended the, laws, with such firmness and decision, as j justly entitled them to claim kindred with : ihe gods. ,?

Alas, how rapidly aro we all passing away! In tho prime of life, in tho.midst of his usefulness, in an unexpected moment, our late brolhor \V. P. Tun tin has been snatched from among us. His remains have been dc-positcd in the cold and silent grave, and the last sad rites been performed by his brethren and friends. Tho mournful duty now devolves upon us to express our regret for his premature loas. our regard for him as as brother and our sympathy for his bereaved and afflicted widow. A few days ago, we beheld him in tho full possession, of his mental and phyiscal powers in the actiro discharge of his important duties as a physician, a citizen, an Odd Fellow. After a slight indisposition as we all thought and honed, wo wore startled with i the intelligence, "Dr. Tukpik U dead." The shock that followed tlie announcement of hiit death fully attests the estimation in which he was held by this community, and how faithfully and satisfactorily ho performed the various duties of lif;. Hut Odd Fellows alone cat) fully appreciate his devotion to the pure principles of "Friendship, Love, and Truth." In lite practice of these noble virtues lie displayed an ardent Zealand un*, compromising attachment. His intercourse with the world at large was characterised bv an open and manly expression of his opinions, ami an honesty of purpose th ?t sho nc out brilliantly in all his dealing with his fellow man. As a friend he was sincere and true, as a phv-ieian he was kind and attentive manifesting at all times a warm sympathy for the distress of others, and a confident hope in the relief of their snfToi ings. Br it thrraforc, Besolt'td, That while wo bow with humble submission to the will of God, we still mourn the loss of our late i brother, and will ever cheiish the highest re- j gard for his vii lues and memory. licsolvrd, That we tender to his afilicted ! widow our sincere and heartfelt sympathy, for her irreparable loss.

Georgia is a great Stute; great in native intellect, great in the oxtent of lier domain and population, and greater in her resources and public spirit. When her democracy sound their whistle, the car of the general government oomes to a pause, and as the engine of State Sovereignty moves up, the Federal wheels take the retrograde motion.

We have little tolerance for young ladies, who, having in reality neither wit nor humor, set up for both, and having nothing of the light stock to go upon, substitute eoarse ness and impertinence (notso say impudence) : and try to excite laughter and attract the attention of gentlemen, by talking slang-' < Where do they pick it up?
