He called tu his company inuriiingbefore sunrise and marched ; ; timvn the road three hours every if s ;U to the store and got a whole •; of buttons and had’em sowed onto j. a uial coat, and anew piece of red mid the collar. And had his trowsers . and his boots greased, and looked as li lie might take the shine off of most in::, lint the greatest rumpus was at Ju-!u:a’s ; for they said the President ‘.ay t: re all night. And aunt Kezi f in Mi ll a pucker to have to have every j lice, I <iid’iit know but she would fly handle. had every pait of the house washed arret to cellar, and the floors all sand da hunch ot green bushes put into all and ices. And she baked three ovens dried punkin pics, besides a few dried jerry pies, and cake, and a great pot i and beans. But the worst trouble fix up the bed so as to look nice ; for i -1., declared the President should '. n a night’s lodging in her house as ij\ \v York or Boston. So she put miler beds on top the straw bed, and a i v ilk-o quilt that she made tile first rr aider she was married, and never mi a bed before. And to make it look s New York beds, she took her red own and ripped it up arid made a blan spread over the top.—And then she 1 • in sheets all round the bedroom, g.ds brought in a whole handful of ro ; pinks and pinned ’em round as thick tin August.

He rid up to Sargent Joel,! and says he, you may all go home about your] business, and put away your nick-nacks, for I Jack and the President are halfway to Wash ington by this time. My stars what a time there was then, I nev er see so many folks boiling over mad be fore. Bill Johnson threw his gun over into the field as much as ton rods, and hopped up and down and struck his fists together like all possessed. Sargent Joel marched back and forth across the road two or three times, growing redder and redder, till at last he drew out his sword and fetched a blow across a hemlock stump and snapped it off like a pipe stem. Aunt Keziah fell down in a conniption fit; and it was an hour before we could bring her tu and get her into the house. And when she came to go round the house and see the victuals she had cooked up, and go into the bed room and sec her gown all cut up, she went into conniption fits again and had ’em half the night. Butshe’a better to-day and has gone to work to try to patch up her gown again. 1 thought 1 would just let you know about these things, and if you area mind to send word on to cousin Jack and the President I’m willing. You may tell’em there aint five folks in Downingville that would hoorah for j Jackson now, and I don’t believe there’s one j that would vote for him unless ’tis uncle Josh-1 ua and he wouldn’t if he wasn’t afraid of lo sing the post office. But there, uncle Joshua has called to me and says he won’t keep the mail open anoth- j er minute for my letter, so I must prescribe i myself your respected friend. NABBY DOWNING, j Some punningly disposed person of Pitts- j burg, has communicated to the editor of the Mercury, of that place, the following conver- j sation between Mr. Webster and a gentleman j in the shoe trade. It is scarcply awl true as i the editor remarks, but the wit is pungent and j pointed. Punning Conversation. —While Mr. Web-! ster was in company the other day with a num- j her of gentlemen, Mr. 1) remarked to I him, “ the day waxeth warm Mr. Webster.” I “Ye ', sir, very. I presume from your ob- i servation, that you are in the shoe trade. j This observation excited much laughter, j Mr. W. then inquired, “Is that awl, Mr. D.? J “Yes,sir, that is my last. 1 ' “ 1 hope you will excuse this cut at your] business; I beg for quarters , and I hope if vour feelings are hurt, that they may be easily hal'd.” “ Never mind Mr. W. I never get my bris tles up in the way of trade." “ I am happy to find vour temper keeps, its seat: I feared yon might have occasion to be displeased. Not at all, sir, you cannot stir up my tem per when 1 understand the thread of your dis course.” . ‘ I am pleased to find Mr. D. though your work may be run down, still you seem in good humor.” With you, sir by awl, means, for l am con vinced that your whole sole, and every thing to boot, is favorable to mechanics.” “ Y’ou are right Mr. D. I feel myself bound j to be do by ties of strongcat friend ship.” j “ Well, I declare Mr. W. you stick to trade j like wax; I think, however, our punning is j near a close, and 1 believe we could not mend j it much by repeating it again.” “ Well,sir, 1 acknowledge, that lam neary j worn out, and to bring our discourse to an end j at last. We will take another glass of wine! and say we are sew’d up.” Anecdote. — A Southerner had a large ] shaggy dog, of what is comm only called tliej cur species, of which he gave in the presence j of a number of persons, the following char-! j acter : “ He’s a little the keenest critter you ever j | did sec—real wild cat—muscle and grizzle: i all over—can eat a hedghog—dodge a thun der clap, and whig any four legged animal j that ever walked the earth.” i “He must be a scrowger,” said a hog-mer chant present—“hut, I’ll bet you a cool ten ! dollars that I’ve got an old boar, in the field out yonder that he can’t make run, no day.” | “ Done !”—exclaimed the Southerner— j ! taking out the money, which was covered by | 1 that of the hog driver. It was a cold winter i ! morning, and the company had to wade through the snow ere they could reach the old j hoar. When they arrived at the field, the j | animal was pointed-out —he was standing | passively in the corner; and no sooner did : the dog perceive his antagonist than he seiz ! ed him by the throat and they both rolled in ! the snow together. I “ He’s a screamer !” shouted the Southcrn i or. “May he so,” replied the hog driver, holding out his hand for the stakes.—“ but he aint agoing to run—for he was frozen to death i last night—and dead boars dont use their legs 1 now-a-days. —Huron Reflector.

IVe are authorised to announce JOEL CRAWFORD, of Hancock, a candidate for Governor, at the i u- MuiMg election. Extracts from the Standard of Union. “la Governor Troup a nullifier? No. He says, “ There is no power given by the Constitution to re. sist the laws of the United States.” COMMENT. Will the Editor of the Standard of Union in form us by what authority Gov. Troup resisted the laws of the United States in 1825. The Edi tor has well remarked that it is now a contest of opinion in this State: of how great importance is it then, that the people, by whose judgment this doctrine of Nullification must stand or fall, should be well informed of its principles and their tendency. We hold it to be the only doc trine, which carried into effect, without abusing it, that is at all efficient in preserving a constitu i tional union of these States. There are others, who profess a different creed, and shrink back from the contemplation of this doctrine as if it ! were some fabled Gorgon, whose very glance was I petrifaction. They act very unfairly, however, by the people, for they wish ihem to repudiate a doctrine whose tenets are as distinct and mani fest, as the beams of the noon day sun, and offer them in its stead, a theory of government, (to judge trom their manner of elucidating it,) as un certain and fluctuating, as the tides of the ocean- Gentlemen, once for all, we ask you, what are the “ Democratic" principles, or rathef the “ De mocratic Republican” principles, which yqu wish to substitute for Nullificatien. If they are the principles of the old Republican faith as con tra distinguished from Federalism; why they are our principles too, and where is the use of the e pithet “ Democratic.” It is as much in point as to say a round circle ! But if we are to under stand them as really “ Democratic" principles, we know what to expect; and we pronounce them as widely different from the principles of the Republican party as the poles are asunder. “ We, still hold, that where the Federal Govern ment, usurps a power reserved to the States, that state interposition is constitutional—But where the Federal Government abuses a power delegated to her by the states, state interposition is unconstitu tional ; because as we have said heretofore, such a bi’se of power is not an infringement upon state so vereignty, but a violation of individual right, an of fence against the whole constituent body of the Fe deral Government, and not against the individual sovereignty of any particular state. The one may be as pernicious in its effects as the otner, but the difference lies in the mode of redress.” The distinction between the manner of injury caused by the usurpation of a power not granted, and the abuse ofa delegated power, is truly some what of the nicest. Does our cotemporary mean to intimate that the constitutional use of such power, as far as it goes, prevents a political sol vent, that completely changes the unconstitution al nature of the abuse of such power. Is not the usurpation by Congress of a power not granted, unconstitutional legislation I Is not the abuse of a delegated power, in exceeding the limits pre scribed for its exercise, also unconstitutional le gislation 1 And if State Interposition, as the edi tor affirms, iie believes, is constitutional in the one case, why is it not in the other? We have as yet only seen the assertion of this distinction, we should now like to see it sustained by reeson and argument. Tlic elfcct* of Road*, River* and Canal*, on the increase of wealth. At the present time, when the public mind is awa kened to the physical improvement of the country, and when a spirit and animation pervades the com inanity, it may not be amiss to direct the public at. tention to the article given below. Notwithstand ing the supineness which has s® long existed among our people, still, the recent movements at Athens and Augi sla, indicate better things hereafter ; but so slow are these movements, so unlike energetic action, that we almost think we might take a “ Rip Van Winkle” sleep, before any thing is effectually done. All that we can do, is constantly to urge the importance and advantages of improving our rivers and common roads, and the construction of Rail Roads, the great tributaries to the wealth and pros perity of the country : to this end we now offer an extracted article, on “ the effects of Roads, Rivers and Canals, on tile increase of wealth : “ The measures of a nation's prosperity may be I known by its roads,” was the remark ot some wri ter on Political Economy, and with a great deal of truth. The price of an article is the value of the raw material added to all other expenses before it can reach the consumer. It is then evident that carriage will form a considerable part of that ex. pense in many articles, and the price of carriage e vidcntly depends upon the state ot the roads : hence the improvements in a c untry depend more upon this subject than is at first supposed. An old coun try has greatly the advantage of anew one in this respect, especially if the new country be extensive, ias in these states. Good roads, therefore, form a j considerable portion of national wealth, indeed, a I part of its capital, as we shall afterwards show, but ( for the present, we shall regard them merely in their 1 effects, as the means of transporting produce, and | as affording the means of communication, and in ' this respect rivers and canals serve the same pur i pose, and in these, states have in a groat measure | supplied their place, while the people have gcneral . ly located themselves upon these navigahio rivers, and on the sides of canals when cut, and as near large rivers as possible; hence at once may be seen ot what importance this subject is to a government. The people always choose their own interests ; a government may counteract, or assist this, dirertly nr indirectly, and this is the principal difference be tween a good and bad government. Individuals sometimes see farther than the body of the people, who heap upon the projects of such indiiiduals op. probrious epithets and ridicule, but if their mea sures are feunded on correct principles, thru# mea. sures succeed, and arc-action takes place. This j was the case with Governor Clinton, who opened the canal at Albany ; and with Jefferson, who purchased | Louisiana, foreseeing the importance ofa communi cation between New-Orleans and these states, and the admirable situation ol the great river Mississip pi, as the means of conveyance of the produce of the west. All that can he said of the advantages of the im provements in roads, apply also to the improvements ot conveyances; that they render communication easy, and goods cheap : hence the benefit arising from steam vessels, rail roads projected, steam car. riages, 4c. Each of these projects arose from men »f science, were opposed and ridiculed in their cm. oryo state by the multitude, but being tounded on correct principles, they are no sooner in operation than their utility is discovered, and the people adopt them. The increase of wealth arising from good roads or other means of communication is not a partial benefit. It serves to enrich both the producer and consumer. Tho agriculturalist or manufacturer in the country, who can send his produce to the city, or rather take his choice ot markets by cheap conveyances, obtains a better price than he otherwise would, while the consumer gets the market better and more equally supplied, and in his turn returns into tho country im ported goods or other manufactured produce, with equal advantage to himself and the country consu mer. The greatest benefit is, however, In the civilizing effects of travelling and travellers which good roads promote. Prejudice, ignorance, and conceit, are nursed in a village cut off from ready communica. tion with the rest of mankind. Even larger districts similarly situated, are similarly affected, thus the Celestial Empire, (China.) which discourages com munication, is pre-eminent in ignorance. The j Turks too, who despise foreigners, arc not among the most enlightened ; and in Spain, the most igno rtnt and wretched of European coontri-s, the peo ple are the most haughty and self-satisfied. In this latter country, the state of the roads fully illustrate tke present subject, and their ignorance is so great, that in their war with Napoleon, when the English first went to their assistance, crowds of people as sembled in a village to see a pkotestant go by. The whole subject may be thus illustrated. Ven- j issn was sold in the country the Christmas before , la.-t, where they had not good roads, at three cents pc pound, and the fore quarters left in the woods lor wolves. The fall of snow affordod fine sleigh ing, that is, made good roads. Our friend, a distant farmer, bought up the venison in his neighborhood, which was a drug there, brought it to New-York in a sleigh, and sold some of it for thirteen cents a pound, and some for less, nibbed off a portion of rusticity, spent some of the money in New-York, took home (we believe) some new hooks for the children, and a present for his wife, and retnined a portion ot his profits for future speculations enter tained his family and friends with his adventures, and resolved upon future speculations in butter and eggs, from information which lie derived in New- York ; in all of which he benefitted himself and those from w hom he bought, and to whom he sold, and gratified himself and friends, but all of which de pended upon the state of the roads.” The facts set forth in the above article, reminds us of having heard the following Antiquated anec‘ dote. Adam it is reported visited earth, to recognize his progeny. He alighted in France, hut could claim no kindred with Frenchmen : he discovered nothing of his race in the lively Gaul. Their large cities, good roads, military shows, elegant buildings, literary societies, and above all their elegant mannets and great attainments, were to him so many proofs that they were not men ; he left France in despair and crossed the Chan nel to England. Here he was more confound ed than before, for he found every thing went by steam. He had been wafted in a steam vessel to the shores, he found them loading and unloading by steam, he found every thing in motion, and the cause of that motion, steam, he was transported with the swiftness of the wind upon what was called rail-roads, which he found hollow and filled with steam, to prevent the snow lodging a bout them ; the carriage was driven by steam, his dinner was cooked by steam, every arti cle he saw, he found was made by steam, and when told that rain itself was made from steam, and that chickens were hatched by steam, he became perfectly satisfied that hi had mistaken some other place for the earth, and that these people could not have procee ded from him, but must have been hatched by steam, and had souls of gas. With con siderable difficulty, however, he was persua ded to visit the United States in America, he thought he might have mistaken the side of tne earth, and if men of steam lived on one side, he might possibly find his progeny on the other. He landed at New York, but instantly returned, as he immediately discov ered that the people were a compound of F’rench and English, with a few broad bot tomed subjects called Dutch. The numer ous steam vessels instantly dismayed him, and placards about fire-eaters, free discus sions, 10,000 laborers wanted, lectures upon chemistry and astronomy, political economy, and other subjects, /which he knew nothing, and rights of men, Jackson and Clav, with proposals for those infernal steam carriages and rail roads, all over the union, completely astounded him ; they were not his progeny, he was perfectly sure, and might have been hatched by steam, like the others whom tbev resembled. He took ! departure, and on iiis return by accident touched at Spain.—Ah! exclaimed Adam, upon seeing the Spaniards, these arc my children, as he waded through the mud, in the absence of good roads, and in the absence of every other improvement, these are my children, these are my descen dants, just where I left them, no innovations, no hatching of chickens, or men of steam here, all things just as they were in the good old time, henceforward let them be called Adamites. It is reported that this decision of Adam in favor ol the Spaniard, has con confirmed the latter in his hauteur. v Interment* in different Citie*.

Mr. F. who had passed the last month at Sa ratoga Springs, under severe illness, returns to the South, we are huppy to say, in improved, though not entirely restored health. Mr. Vhii Biii'.'ii Arrived at the City Hotel in Baltimore oil the 18th inst. from Washington, and left there the next morn ing lor Saratoga Springs tarrying awhile at Thila delphia, New.York and Albany, ty way of reconnoi sance.

Dcaili of Sir A roily ami Sir Cliarlos. The last No. of VI r. Skinner’s Turf Register, a ates that the celebrated horse Sir Aacnv, died oil me 7th of June. Sir Arcliv was bred in North-Carolina, and at the time of his death was about thirty year !of age.

Sm Charles, one of his most dis -1 tingu shed sons, died also on the same day. Saratoga Spring*. A letter from Saratoga of the 15th inst. says that delightful place was filling up rapidly, but that there was yet room. It was computed that there were 1500 visiters. The computation it too great; 1000 would be nearer the truth. My old quarters, the Union has perhaps the largest number, and on Fri. day, was considered full; so much so, that some twenty had to “ sleep out.” Claim* on Naples. The correspondent of the New-York Courier and Enquirer at Brussels, writes toe last of April that “ he had yesterday the pleasure of an interview with Mr. Davezac, the Representative of the United States of America at tla- Hague, who has just ar rived.

Shortly after his arrival a salute was fired in honor of his visit to that military post—an honor eminently due to the distinguished hero ofTlattcburg. Dswniitgiana. We perceive by a letter from Nabby Downing, a cousin of Major Jack Downing of epislatory ce lebrity, that there lias been a “great upro ir in ! Downingsville,” the .'•ajor’s Head-quarters when j not travelling with the tiiner.al. The cause of the rumpus we understand to he the fact that he | and the Gineral turned their backs on the Dcwn | ingrille folks rather unceremoniously. Nabby ! in a letter to the Editor of the Portland Courier, ! intimates that the General's popularity is in a j ‘blue way,' among her home folks. She says i “ l thought 1 would just let you know about these things, and if you area mind to send word on to cousin Jack and the President, I’m willirg. You may tell ’em there aint five folks in Down ingsville that would hoorah fur Jackson now, and 1 don't believe there’s one that would vote for i him unless’tis uncle Joshua, and hewould’nt if i he wasn't affraid of loosing the post office ! !!” Keep Cool. Now-a-days nobody is cool—every fire is as red as a beet, and every man’s blood is hot enough to boil an egg. VVhal is tube done? Imprimis, keep your temper—it will never do to get in a pas sion at this season—reserve your wrath till the ■ first frost, and you may then blaze away as much :as you please. Secondly, rise early, even before the sun, and enjoy his astonishment at seeing himself beat. Wash your whole body, put on ! clean linen, and take a walk of twenty minutes 1 1 and fifteen seconds. Don’t jump out of the way lat any sudden alarm—it is much better to be qui etly run over by a cart or two, than to jump into ! a fever. Nit down to your breakfast moderately : —don’t bolt into your chair as if you were thrown out of a third story window. Drink no coffee, it is too heating—lea or milk you may take in any quantity; but eat no meat as you eschew caloric —every mouthful is an incipient firebrand. After 1 breakfast proceed slowly to your place of busi ness. If any thing has gone wrong, £on’t scold —scolding is allowed only in winter. If you meet any friends on the way, give a gentle look ! of recognition, but do not bow or say “ good i morning”—talking is very exciting. If you can ! conveniently meet with a little misfortune, do so i —melancholy is very cooling. &. what is more, it i makes others cool towards you. You gain consi derable comfort from their icy reflection. | “As the day grows warm and high,” you be ] eonie thirsty.

You goosi * cold brandy and water. ] taken suddenly into your stomach, is just as dan j gerous as cold water —so is cold punch—cold anv ‘ thing else—so woold a parcel of live coals he, if j you could freeze them. Your best beverage is ! claret and water —you may cool it if you please, i but you must sip it very gradually. We mean real bona fide claret—none of your poke-berry juice, which is absolute poison. Do not eat much dinner—animal fond puts the lion in a fever, ami so w ill it serve man. If you i find that you have much appetite, eat a lum;i of: sugar, or take a walk into the kitchen, just 1 e fore the table is set. The best thing for you is a little hush and mashed potatoes—it saves a great deal of labor for the jaws.

A jovial miller, sitting one evening at the door of his mill, observed a cliangling who frequented the town approaching, and resolved to crack a joke with him. “ Come hither, John,” said he, •* the people say you know nothing.” “ Well,” Said John, scratching his head, “ I’ll tell you.” “ Tell me whatsmilingly inquired the miller. * Why an’t please ynn. I’ll tell you what I do know, and what I don’t know .” “ Good!” ex claimed the merry maker of superfine and mid dlings; “Go on, honest John.” “ First, I know.” said the imbecile, “ that the miller’* hogs grow fat. ’ “ Very w ell,” said the oilier, “ now what is it you don i know” “ \\ by,” said John, while a look of archness unexpectedly shot from his l J've; “I don t know whose corn they’re fed on!” 1 he instruction -onveyed in the negative observa tion has induced us to give a like character to a few lurtlier recollections. \Vo do tiot remember a better comment on “National ’ principles than the fact, that their first candidate tor the Presidency was a traitor to federalism, and their last a traitor to democracy. \\ e do not remember a better comment on their truth, than the stories the east sent forth against gen. Jackson, prior to liis re-election, and the re ception she gave him afterwards. We do not remember a better comment on their honesty, than the elections of printers to congress last winter, and the “business transac tions” of the Bank. \V e do not remember a better comment on their understanding, than the remark, that “ where mo ney commands, talent obeys.” W e do not remember a single National Repub lican prophecy— out of the thousand and one made —which the administration has verified. We do not remember a greater clamour for the “ public teats,” than was made in the state house [N. Jersey] last winter. W e do not remember that the Rahway Advo cate ever told a political truth, or that the Nation al Union ever started anew idea: the one is all malignant romance, and the other carries his graiti in one end ol the wallet and the grindstones in the other, as did the ass of his grandfather before him. W hat we do not recollect to have ever happen ed } it is probable will not happen soon, so we gi :e these sigular instances to the reflection of an intelligent community.

The Mercury arrived from Eleuthera with a cargo consisting of 31,584 pine apples ! Here we have tlic utile et du/re literally realized.

A cargo of stones picked off the ground, or of Ice hewn out of the ponds, is ex changed by the Eastern trader with the Southern fjrun r or planter fi r a Lieght which will answer his purpose in the laboratories of Europeas well as gold and silver. Every quarter of our coun try possesses its relative advantages. In the one part, an adventurous spirit and industrious habits draw wealth Irom the ocean, or find it on its sterile rocky shores: in another, a fertile soil and fervid skies countcrbalencc, in their more profitable fiieid, the flit icai ills of tbe climate, and the necessity of employing African labor.— Our country abounds, in some parts, in veins of inexhaustible mineral wealth, which Otherwise occupied, we have scarcely yet begiui to open; and, as we see exemplified in the fact above stat ed, even where Nature ha s been most niggard of her bounties, a comfortable subsistence may be earned by the manufacture of articles of value out of materials w hich could probably be made no oilier use 01.
