carry all before them, on all sides, but the Office Holders die hard. They have as many lives as cat. We beat them, and defeat and route them, but they die hard. Lord BFOughan, in . late article in the Ed inburgh Review, has written in substance, that there is nothing an Office holder so clings to as to Place; Honor and Principle, even being surrendered for its possession. Hence, the Politician that cliDgs to his place, he adds, will us a soldier voluntarily storm the breach, and run all risks of sacrificing his life, for if he dies, his exchange of worlds is for a better, whereas if he loses his place. he lives in world but made the worse for him,-a ghost among men,-a nonentity made melancholy by what he was-and for Ho- nor and Principle lost-no matter, he req. sons, for that, as power will buy Honors, and principle is not necessary with power. s-.

 The Wings are in a contest with hun- dred thousand or more of these blinded, bri- dled, and desperate Office Holders, who va- lue office as much as life, and more than principle or honor. The Whig Militia are under numerous disadvantages in such contest with such host of regulars. We have the numbers and the physical power, but they have discipline, and the machinery, and the pay. We are volunteers, and they are enlisted during the war. We work and find ourselves, and they are on salaries, and daily pay. A hundred thousand regulars sta- toned in all the commanding points of the Unied States, under the lead of the Federal head at Washington, is quite as much as the Whig Militia can take care ef ..;...s. .s a

 In this point of view, the Wings must not be content with a sortie in Louisiana, or even Waterloo route as in New York. These office holders will not die as long as they can hold treasury dug in their mouths This pap acts upon them as Ambrosia or Nectar upon the fable gods, s,-and though we pierce them through, and through, and cut them down, their blood is only water, and they come again all armed together. It is seven years war we are in,-such as that of the Wings of the old revolution. The Tories have for a long while pent us up at Valley Forge.-but we have been to Saratoga, and are now bound to Yorktown. Not for day, or for an hour, must we relax our efforts, for if we do, we lose all we have gained. AL ready these regulars are on their feet again in Maine, with stout array in the field.- They are rl1anBusering in Rhode Island- They are not dead in Connecticut, only ma king believe, so us to save life, as the Militia men stand cooked and primed. In New York, they are as busy and as buzzing as ever. They say Pennsy lvania is theirs.-- New Jersey they afe borrowing in, in every part, as sappers at the siege of Antwerp to spring a mine on the fortified within. In Ohio they are patroliing the State.- shannon, their candidate for Governor, is ringing the Loco Foco war whoop from the river to the lake. The new recruit, that new Lieutenant General of theirs, John C.. Call houn, has taken, the Southern Wing of tho Loco Foco Empire, under his Nullifying flag. He promises to make many States jump Jim Crow, with all the precision of a like revolu- tion in South Carolina. Benton is actively marshalling his troops in the Northwest and West. The Wings, it seems, have made aR onset even upon his domain, and Missouri and Illinois are in danger. But the flciis, there never was moment when 100000 of- flee holders wcres 80 active, and so earnest as they are now. They will fight as hard as Napoleon's troops al. Waterloo. But the Wings must remember, we have not yet got them to Waterloo. That will come at tho next Presidential Election, and that is over two years from now, up to which time, every hour, we must keep the Whig Star Spangled Banner flying. Peace quiet, sleep, is for slaves, or would-be slaves. Li- berty is the boon of Men,-active, vigilant Watchnlen.-M Y. Express. x From the New.Orleans Courier of Jalv 10.

 4 1N for Tat.-One of'the cutest Yankee tricks which has occurred for long time we have now to narrate. It appears that the schooner Lone, Captain Clark, which clear ed for this port some weeks since, with a full and valuable cargo of merchandise and produce for the Mexican market, despite of the vigilance of tho French blockading squadron, succeeded in getting into MatamO- ras. On her return, she was taken by . French cruiser, in obedience to a decree of the French admiral in the Gulf, ordering the capture of all merchantmen, British packets excepted, that attempted either to enter or go out of Mexican ports. Captain Clark. not being aware of such a decree, sailed with no suspicion of being captured; but he was mistaken. Soon after clearing the mouth of the Rrassos Santiago. he was board ed by boats from French brig, and his ves- sel taken possession of Apofti0n of the crew and passengers were conveyed cn board the brig, and a prizemaster and eight men left on board the Lone. s.

 i By some hocus pocus process, the paEticu- lars of which we have not been able to learn. Captain Clark, with no other aid than that of his mate and steward. succeeded in recap tuling his vessel; he hauled down the tri- colored flag and hoisted in it's place the Star Spangled Banner of our country.

 The Lone is now in this port, with the prize officer on board, but not as master She has, $l5OOO in specie, and 2OOO hides.

 This should be lesson to the French how they trouble Yankee captains. ,sA -sA
