't'atHaukl eat my dog Hauk ! I'd like to see man of houud, mister, that would dare to put a tooth in him.' 4 Why, my good fellow,' replied John Bull, whose sporting sensibilities were-so aroused by his remark that he instantly forgot his waggery—why I have a bull-terrier here, in the yard, that would eat him up at a mouthful I said he looked like an Indian dog; but in truth, wlten I corrie to j&amine him, he is no thing but a miserable cur/ ' I -fell ye, mister, i f Hauk bo a cur, he is nevertheless a raal Alleghaninn cur, nsye call it, and sich a cur will lick fivo limes hit weigh in Englislt bull-dogs.' • ' Why he has -no scars about him to show that he is a fighter*' said the Englishman, cu riously examining tho dog's head ond oars. * Shall I tcH you why, mister?' i why f < ^ ' Because Alleghanian dogs is a kind of critter that gives scars instead of taking them.

'I will order your dog to be fed then.— You can njeauwhile, be\ eating your own din ner, and we'll have the fight afterwards.' Thai's all fair—that's all fair, too; bui, mister, as to planking down my silver shiner ontlmyeUowpiece, I don't know that I'al together like that, somehow. We don'r^see much gold our Way, and that sovereign, as you call it, looks to me for all the world only like a brass Indian medal.' ' You won't bet on your cur, thSn,' said John Bull, contemptuously.

C. JOHNSON. The Union says: fc , \ The Postmaster General\ was very reluctant to place such d construction upon the law, an would give him power over the compensation of fourteen thousand officers. But the necessity of the case required something to be done. Post masters were resigning in such numbers, as to create an apprehension that the publio service would be materially injured, unless some further compensation could he given thorn It was cer tain that, In romcrnf the inTprcrtnTrnofflcc .'r.ltnr Postmastcra would not onlv receive no compen sation, but would be actually in doht some-hun dreds nf dollars, if their pay were limited to the per centum on the pustage.\ while be drinks, I say, if you can only toU the gentleman in the bar' to furnish mo with these conveniences, I'll soon show you wheth er or not that British bull terrier ofjour'n can eat up the Alleghanian curat a mouthful\ ' Give tbe fellow the bottles, the pail, and the back room,'roared John Bull, through Lthe open. window, • give him whatever he Wants, and put the whole in my bill; I'm de termined, to bold the knave to his original a- greemeru in some way or other.' Within the next fivo minutes,; the Allegha nian had shut himself in the room commnni eating with tho bar, emptied the pepper sarce into the pail, and plnciug.his dng Hauk there tn, saturated thoroughly his shaggy coat with tho pungent mixture. The Englishman, all impatient meanwhile stepped into the room followed by the bull-ten ier, when suddenly tho inner door was flung wide open, nnd ihorc stood tbo Alleghanian, gesticulating wildly with one hand, while he held Hauk in the other. 1 Bring on your dog!' he shouted—'bring on your Britis h bull-terrier that is going to eat us; up 1—bring bim on, I say, und lci'-s see if an Alleghanian cur isn't more than a mouthful for him.' 'Sezt—sczt— seize bim !' hissed John Dull between bis teeth, ot die samo time clapping his hands nnd striking rapidly towards ho in nerdoor, while his bull-terrier, with a'fierce growl, sprang past him full at .tbe throat of poor Hauk. The Alleghanian hud released bis own bold upon bis dog, and it seemed a$ if all must be over with him if tbose voracious jaws once fairly fastenod upon his neck. The yelp of Hauk proved, indeed, that the bull terrier did give one severe bite, but the next moment saw the latter rebound agnin.-t his master's legs, and working his slavering jaws, as if'trying to disengage a? swarm of hornets that had lodged upon his potato. ' Yotr-confounded rascal!' roared tlie Eng. lisbmnn, what poison have you put upon the hairofyour vile cur.? • Wal, roister,' quoth the Alleghanian, cool ly; * I rather guess that Hank was in such an. all fired passion for a fight, that tho peppor] sarce he drank jist now must have (sweated through. At any rate, your bul'-pup seem* fo have enough of pickled dog at one mouthful.' « You scoundrel, you.»' thundered the in dignant BritoDJ • I have a good mind to. take you in hand myself, and punish you well for the villainous trick.' •Now don't UJO sich uggty woids, mister? Hm a bpulder; l'm-oneof em, I tell ye, and no mistake—a raal Alleghanian boulder.— But i f yoti wah't right in oirnest. to get a fight out of me all you have to do is to order supper nnd a bed for me, and to-moirrJw, arter.broqk- fastyyou and I will try a friendjy knock down or so, to decide which shall pay for them.' The crowd, wbicb had meanwhile collected around tbe tavern, shouted .with laughter at this proposition, while John Bull-hastily re tired from ibe scene, having probably already had enougb of a'raal Alleghanian boulder- The Tariff on Wool.

Podge I There is no such \paltry larifF\ on any description of wool raised in this country, as has been reiterated a thousand times over.. The . duly on imported wool is three cents per pound and SO per cent in addition upon the value,—ex cept upon-tho-cnarse—varieties from Brazil and Smyrna, costing not more than 7 cents per pound at the place of exportation. Upon this last the' duty is 6 per cent, because it does nut come in competition Tvith rniy-rBisedTrr tins'Bbilrilry'J'nrrd'\ iu exclusion could answer no berfbficfnl purpose. The (Vtrmnwhecl importations prove that the American wool grower has almost secured the entire home market Before ihe establishment of the present Tariir, the imports ran up to eleven millions of pounds; since that lime, they have been reduced to three or four millions. Howev er, i f the duty is not h'trh enough, lay on more— we shall not object. But you do not complain of it with a view nf increasing Ihe duty—nor will it he increased when you overhaul the Tariff\.— Your efforts nre directed to [fie more generous\ purpose »f infecting the public mind with ground less jealousy nnd dixufTection inwards the tariff as it stands. Your consistency is shown by a con tinual clamor against the principle of protection, whilst nt the same, tune you affecl great indigna tion because wool is not prolected«nuugh. Our farmers do not want tn raise coarse wonl. Tc costs as much to keep a shcrp through the year, whose fleece would In- worth but thirty cents, as one that would hrinij sovcnly-five cents urn dol lar. The whig policy is to protect nnd encourage any thinjj we can produce ourselves. Thul was the doctrine of the men who framed the Constitu tion, and those bt-lore them who raised the flag of Independence. Liftle does Loco Pocoism par take of the wise ami |>nlri .)t spirit which animated their breasts. To carp at the duty on Coarse Wool—not to propose in raise the duties when they are too low is about the highest flight <of which Loco Focolsm is capable. There n snmo comfort in the reflection that you cant sail on that wind, much longer. The whole govorrflh«o,t Is in your hands, nml if the WhifilTarlfl, wAich has contributed beyond all example to the restoration of prosperity, nnd the universal diffusion of com fort, does not nipct vour views, jusiflait lo suit ». yourselves. Repeal, reduce, alter or atnend if, just as you like, and then let the people choose between' PHOTECWOM and PnEE TRADE. Ono more experiment, we think, will settle the dispute. Syracuse Jour.
