The American Sentinel, speaking of "Sol. Smith, the Lawyer, Actor, Preacher," etc,. remarks--"We want a few more of such men," To which a Dayton (Ala.) paper replies--"You'll not get them. There are none others like him. He is the first and last of his genus, a solitary specimen of a strange combination of character. Even in the physical way Sol. will be hard to match, for he is tall as a May-pole, and crooked as a pump-handle."

The True American says that when John C. Calhoun takes snuff, every man in South Carolina sneezes.
