Correspondence of the Baltimore Patriot, Cincin no/*, Ohio, Dec. 15, 1834. Cincinnati is the greatest Pork market,” in the known world. The number of hogs slaugh tered annually, and the perfection and science to which the art of ‘hog killing’ has been brought, is indeed astonishing. The business of butcher ing is carried on distinct from that of packing, and by different persons. The most extensive establishment of the kind, is the one on Deer Creek, owned and conducted by John W. Cole man. At this place, last year, 100,864 hogs were slaughtered. There are four houses situ ated at different points on the ground occupied, .which is a lot of eight acres-tlie ground is divi ded Into pens, some forty or fifty in number, where the hogs of each owner are put by them selves. preparatory to the massacre. About 4C men are employed in each house, and each ha: his separate and allotted duty to pcriom, and re ceive on an average about $1,25 pel day. Eacl house has two scalding tubs, one at each end, sc that the work of death and dstruction’ goes or double in each building. At each end of the house is a small pen. into which they crowd 4( or 50 hogs, or as many as can possibly be got in then walks in on their backs the dark and blood) executioner, holding in his hand a large sledge hammer, with which he deals death’ to the un offending victims—after which they are dragge* inside the house, a knife passed into the throat and after bleeding a few seconds, thrown into t kettle of hot water, from thence to a block where the bristles are scraped off with iror scrapers, made expressly for the purpose—ther Strung up by their hind feet and dressed—thence removed to another room, where they remain tc cool until morning, and then taken on wagon; to the packing houses. It is but a little ovei one minute from the time the executioner enten the pen and kwwks the hug down, till he is strung up and dressed. The bleeding, scalding scrap in stringing up, and inside dressing, is all ac complished' in about a minute. This will b( thought marvellous, but it is no more strung* than true. I have frequently witnessed with as tonishment the operation, At one of Mr. Cole man’s slaughter houses, he has a man that opens removes the offal, and completes the dressing 0 three hogs in a minn'e—to this man (who is j sort of king among the hog killers) he pays S2J per day. They can slaughter at each of the houses, and have them completely dressed and strung Uf (preparatory to removal in the morning to the packing houses.) six hundred and fifty in a day which is altogether, at this one estublishmen ticenty-six hundred—and this done from daj light in the morning till dark, say at this time about elecen honrs} allowing 30 minutes for din ner. Mr. Coleman informed me, that he has al ready killed this fall between 50 and 60.000 i ness, but not on so large a scale as Mr. Coleman, who is, what Yankees cull, a ‘smart’ man. From the slaughter houses, the hogs are con veyed in large wagons, that hold from 25 to in, to the various packing houses, whicl^re situa ted in aluiust every part of the city, and there weighed, cut up, packed, &.c. The purchaseis pay for them as per the weight, after being dress ed. These packing houses are upon the most extensive scale. The capital employed every Y(3f in the 1 hog business,’ is immense, proba bly about two millions of dollars. One of the most extensive packing houses in the city* )s owned and conducted by Millpr Lpo their building is of brick, three stories high, 120 feet long, 60 wide,with outbuildings, sheds, &c.that cover for aught l know, an acre of ground.— These men, who are very enterprising, have a high reputation for the uniform excellence ol their Pork, as also for their superior Hams, their 4 sugar hams’ are said to be as good as any cu red in any part of the Union. There are other pork Houses’ equally large, and on as exten sive a scale. At one of these largePork Houses they can pack and have ready for shipment two hundred and fifty barrels oj Pork in one i/uy, and I am informed, upon a pinch, three hundred barrels could be turned out, and that with thir ty men in about fourteen or fifteen hours, it is, indeed, astonishing, the rapidity with which they put a hog out of sight, when they once get fair hold erf him. As at the slaughter houses, a per fect system is kept up, every man has his allot ted duty to perform, and there is consequently no interference with each other; every thing goes on like clock work’:—when the hogs are received, they are first weighed, by the weigher, then passed to the blocking men,” who place them on the several blocks, (two are generally used) when they are received by the “Cutters, and are very quickly despatched—the various qualities separated and thrown into their res pective places. One man weighs for the bar rels, (200 pounds) and throws the meat in the "salt bos," from which the “"Packer” receives Jt, and when the barrel is packed is turned over to the Cooper” who heads it—it is then bored, filled with strong brine, plugged, branded, and ready for shipment. Fifty pounds of Turks Isl and, or other coarse salt, is allowed to each bar rel ol Pork, The Lard is cut into small pieces before go ing into the kettles—the leaflard goes into one kettle and the rough lard into another—there are generally eight or ten men employed in the lard department, when an average of two hun dred kegs, or about nine thousand pounds are ^Ia^ ^nVonned, the largest quantity of Pork packed last year, by one house, was by Burdsell x Davis, for the Messrs. Winchesters, of Bos ton the number of barrels being between five and sis thousand. No one establishment will pack as much this year. Many of our mer chants are engaged largely in the packing bu siness, at various points in the vicinity of the ci ty. At Russville, Hamilton, Middletown, Law’ renceburgh, &c. It is estimated that the quanti tity of Pork exported last year from Cincinnati _which includes that packed in the above towns _fell very little short of forty fre thousand bar rclt, about eighty Jive thousand kegs of Lard, tvoo hundred, and seventy thousand Hams, besides Shoulders, Sides, bulk meat, &c. One of our enterprising citizens alone purchased, I am told, last year, thirty five thousand kegs Lard, and fortunately, it proved a profitable investment. There are altogether in the city, about 26 or 27 Pork Houses, and they now employ about ten to twelve hundred men, at an average ot a dol lar per day. At the commencement of the sea son Hogs anpeared plenty, and were purchased at a fraction lower than last year-say 83 per hundred tor those averaging 2S0 pounds. I am informed that they are now becoming more scarce, and that the price is advancing. There will not be as many packed this year as last. Some that were engaged in it last year, lost more or less money, owing to the distress in the country, brought about by our wise Pre sident, and the impossibility of effecting sales at fair prices;—so that there are, probably, not as many engaged in the business as for merly. Money now being more plenty than last year, and a general demand existing for the article, ready sales at fair prices will be made. The demand now in this market for Pork and Lard is good, and a gradual advance in price has and will continue to take place. Most of 1 our Pork packers are men of wealth, and can consequently hold on,” there will be no neces 1 sity of forcing sales. However, they cannot pack 1 enough before the season closes to supply the 1 demand, which is much increased by many of the army contractors being in the market, and 1 wishing to purchase to fill their contracts. I The following are about the present prices: e'ear Pork, 812; Mess 10; Prime 8 to 8 50; Lard 5| to 6; Hams 6| to 7; bulk meat 4.f. The Hogs are driven in from the interior of Ohio, and ul 1 so from Indiana and Kentucky, and not one dro ver in ten will receive any other money but U. 1 S. Bank notes in payment for his hogs—not even 1 silver or gold. The notes of the Franklin Bank, 1 which is the pet Bank here, they will not look i at—They will have the notes of the Bank of U. S., or they will keep their hogs. The spare ribs and feet of hogs, (and they are 1 about the sweetest of the hog meat) are gene rally given way,—hundreds, if not thousands, r of our poor, get their entire living from the Pork houses, gratis, through the whole winter. For merly, they threw the ribs and feet into the Ohio by cart loads; they were not taken away as fast as they were accumulated. from the Boston Evening Transcript, Oct. 5. Mr. Madison.—A friend writes us from Vir r ginia, On my way to Charlottesville, I called at Montpelier, the seat of James Madison. The en trance to the estate, from the main road, is thro’ an avenue in the forest, or only the width of a carriage track, in length about three quar ters of a mile. While passing through this place, my mind naturally reverted back to the thousands who had trod the same ground be fore me, in bygone days—some, bearers of im portant information relating to the State affairs, others, to sue lor place, and very many, like myself, impelled hither merely by curiosity, and a desire to take by the hand a man who has oc cupied so conspicuous stations in our country’s history. After emerging from the wood, in the midst of a beautiful lawn, I discovered the man 1 sion of the venerable Ex-President. Itisavery 1 large house; the portico in front of the main building is supported by four plain columns, with extensive wings on either side. Thedraw ing room is in the centre, into which I was ush ered, and for a few moments had the opportu nity to observe the thousands of objects with which it was literally crowded. The furniture was rather of ancient date, but in a a stile of per fect neatness; the walls completely covered with paintings, some of which, Scripture pieces, were large, reaching from the ceiling to the floor. Portraits of Washington, Jefferson, Mr. Madison and Lady, La Fayette, and others, were also there besides an innumera ble number of busts: among them I observ ed those of Shakspeare, Byron, Scott, and Franklin. A full length figure of Napoleon oc cupied a conspicuous place on the mantel-piece. An electrical apparatus,several philosophical in struments, and a piano, had places in the room. In a short time I was waited upon by Mrs. Madi son, who bade me welcome, and conducted me to her husband, who was seated in an adjoining room, apparently his study. He received me very cordially, and I passed a couple of hoursin the most delightful manner. Mr. Madison is now 84 years of age, and I was much astonished at! his vivacity, and the brilliancy of his language, j In' conversation he reminded me of our Mr. Otis. “I was not before awareth.it Mr. Madison had ever visited New England; but he informed me that he travelled as far as Northampton •i once in company with Mr. Jefferson. This j was in the year that the Congress was removed from New York to Philadelphia. “The estate of Montpelier is situated in the centre of an amphitheatre of mountains, and is one of the most romantic spots 1 ever beheld; just such an one as a philosoper might choose, there to close his earthly career. Mr. Madison’s plantation comprises several thousand acres, the whole under the superintendence of a son of Mrs. Madison, by a former husband. “I took leave of the venerable man. fully im pressed with the belief that he is at this time much the happiest man I ever saw.” War—inevitable War.—Mrs. Maria Louisa I Clark, “the widow of a highly respectable gen tleman of Boston,” was lately convicted in New York of keeping a disorderly house, although many “credible witnesses stated that they had i known her for years, one of them for ten years, and believed her to be a woman of irreproach able character.” The Recorder, unfortunately for the country, only sentenced her to leave the premises, and gave her the wlfole vacation for that purpose, and afterwards made the follow ing disclosure, which ominously connected as it is with our present position towards France, it may be highly important to American history to record. Mrs. Maria Louisa Clark declared that she would not only leave the house but the country, and go to France by the next packet; “and having many influential friends in that country, of which she is a native, she would not only engage that there shall be a war, but that her country should also give ours “a good whip ping.” _ Capt. Ross the Hero of the North, has at length discovered something in England even more attractive than that which he reached du ring his last expedition. The worthy Captain has recently married a young and accomplished lady. With Captain Macheath the great Dis coverer may sing— Were I laid down on Greenland’s coast,” &c. i I WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENCE. From the Washington Correspondence of the New York Courier hncfuirer. Doubtless you recollect the Globe newspaper j intimated sometime since, that it would be ad vantageous to the country to have a Minister at the Italian Courts—we now know the reason j why. The Government of Naples at first re- fused to pay the bill drawn by Beers Sc Co., say ing it wTas not courteous in our Government to treat them as exchange brokers—but the Roths childs got the administration out of the scrape, and forthis good turn, have received the appoint- j ment of Government bankers. Some new ar rangement, however, is necessary for the further payments, and it has been determined to send a Minister with a roving commission to Naples, Rome, Florence and Sardinia,—this will be a delightful appointment; White, of Florida,] would like the place, and make an excellent, Minister, but though he has made his peace with the President he is not on terms with the Powers that rule, and Mr. Neilson is to go back the question is shall he have an outfit ror each court, as I like him 1 hope they will give him the four out-fits, and that he will succeed in making fa-1 vorable commercial treaties with all these pow ers. As to France the prevailing opinion in Washington among the best informed, and in which I am forced to agree is, that war with that country must inevitably grow out of the Presi dent’s message—the Kitchen Cabinet are most anxious for it, as the only means left to retain power and turn the attention of the country from the snarl into which they have got U*. Surru rier is quite indi -nant on the subject of the mes sage; ’tis said he called on the Secretary of State the last of November, and assured Mr.Forsyth in the most positive terms, pledging the word of the King, and his own reputation, if nothing was said in the message offensive to France, that the money would be paid; the Secretary told him that part of the message relating to France should be most pacific; you may therefore ima gine the astonishment and indignation with which he read, what heconsidered a direct insult to himself, and the King his master. rorrespondence of the Haltimore Patriot, Wash ington, Dtc. 21, 1834. A correspondent of the U. S. Gazette, whose accuracy, generally speaking, I can vouch for, has written, I see, that the CoAyittee of Fo reign Relations in the House, nas received the correspondence—between Mr. Livingston and the French Ministry,—and upon that, a conclu sion has been arrived at, that nothing will be done by that Committee this session. The Com mittee, I believe, have not received all the cor respondence, only a part. Mr. Clay, as Chair man of the Committee of Foreign Relations in the Senate, has, it is said, made a broad call, in which he asks not only lor the correspondence but for the instructions of our government. It will be found, I am confident, that the corres pondence don’t bear out the President in the belligerent language he has used. But I sus pect another influence has operated upon the Committee in the House, in bringing it to the conclusion, to which, it is said, they have arriv ed at, and that is, the influence of Mr. Van Bu ren, who begins to fear that old Jackson is play ing the Magician with him, and stirring up a war, so that “the people may call upon him for a third time,” and again force him into public life,”—“ with the greatest reluctance.” Little Van smells a rat—and snuffs treason. All the Kitchen organs, from the Globe down, fight shy on this question—and anon, you will see them cry Bank. Bank. Bank, more lustily than ever, so as to keep the war in the back ground. It is even said, that Jackson is pushing White’s friends forward, so as to knock W bite’s and Van Buren’s heads together, and then to reap the profit himself, as he did with the war between Calhoun and Van Buren. Rely upon it, that the political statesmen will have as much fun before tln^ession is over, as the fox hunters have, who fi‘>^e in the Champagne Club. The President is sick with the influenza,—so ill, that he did not appear out to church to-day, as is his custom. What do the Ohio politicians think of the Life and Trust Company that the Regency have got up in that State? The Van Buren men here trust much to the efficacy of this Branch Mon ster of theirs in revolutionizing the politics of Ohio. I know but little about it. and I only seek to set an inquiry on foot, as Cambreleng and others have calculated almost as much upon it by and by, as thpy do now upon the Safety Fund Banks in New York. Please tell Dr. Sutherland whom T have had under my especial care for two years past, that I don’t like the habit he has of making speeches on the floor of the House, and then puffing him sef in letters from Washington in the American Sentinel in Philadelpia. Doctor, Doctor—this i will never do. I shall expose you, if 1 detect you in such a trick again. The Intelligencer here asks who is the Corres pondent of the Albanv Argus. Mr. Senator Wright, I answer,—and if he is found libelling Daniel Webster any more in its columns, it will i be but fair to prosecute an inquiryinto some of that Senator’s habits, which it is as well not to expose unnecessarily tothepubiic gaze. We copy the following from the New York Daily Advertiser. Interesting Benevolence.— A short time since, a gentleman distinguished alike for his ability as a physician, and his benevolence as a gen tleman, desired the superintendent of the Alms House, when the next male foundling was re ceived into the establishment, to advise him of the fact, and permit him to confer upon it an appropriate name. Soon after a fine male in funt was discovered, exposed and brought into the office where, without the preparatory com- 1 pliment of a name, it was placed in the arms of; a nurse. Some days after the Doctor being ad vised of the event of the infantile stranger, went to the office,and seeing the child, conferred upon it the name of Luke Origen. He then stated that six gentlemen, including himself, had raised one hundred dollars, which they intended to place in the Bank ol Savings, at interest to ac cumulate there, until the child became of age, when it was to recei ve the principal and super added compound interest, as a capital with which to commence a career of business. He also stated that if this child should die before reachinghis majority, the next male child should receive the same name, and become the possess- 1 or of the trust fund when it became at full age. The money was then deposited in the Bank of Savings, in the name of the Commissioners of the Alms House, and all the necessary measures 1 taken to secure it to the young beneficiary when 1 21 years old. Thus the little fellow while yet in i the arms of the nurse, is the subject ot a noble benevolence, which will greet him with joy on his arriving on the theatre of manhood. If so much money is readily raised in New 2 York for illegitimate children, we suppose that 1 the poor who do not expose their offspring are 2 yntitled to double allowance. COmillPSlCATlOSS. TO THE EDITOR OP THE ALEXANDRIA GAZETTE. I beg leave now to resume my remarks in an swer to your correspondent, A Virginian,” by aking up the subject where l left off—to wit: his :irade about the inferior Magistracy, who are tcornfully accused of retailing justice for a livelihood.” Does not every Judge, from the highest to the lowest, “retail justice for a livelihood”? did n it the pure and spotless Judge Hale receive a jalary from the Crown of England?—and does not the equally pure and spotless Judge Mar shall receive a salary from the United States? And where is the exception to be found? No where, where law is made the rule of action.’ Why, then, should not the more humble and needy Magistrate receive a just compensation for hi3 labor? He who earns his bread by ho nest industry, be that industry what it may, ful fils one of the commands of Deity; and until proof is adduced that our inferior Magistrates receive the wages of labor unworthily, we are bound, both in honor and justice, to believe that they receive it worthily—and if a mere indivi dual opinion was allowable in a case like this, founded upon long experience and observation, I should unhesitatingly say that they do receive it worthily. ‘‘A Virginian” seems to forget that the man. and not the station, gives true dig nity to the office, and that the honest and in dustrious mechanic is just as worthy of respect as the man of science, the warrior, or the states man; for each, in his place, helps to fill the mea sure of his country’s glory. Let us, then, dis card these ignoble sentiments, and believe, as we ought to believe, that God created all men for good and wise purposes. In the appointment of federal officers, to exe cute federal duties, no cause of complaint on our part is perceived: for wherever the power to appoint reals, so likewise does the responsi bility for its discreet exercise attach; and that discretion can never be fairly and fully exer cised, if it is in any wise under the influence of others. Would we be willing that a different community from ours should interfere in the appointment of our Corporate officers?—Need I make the response? And yet we complain that the Government will not consent that ire should nominate its officers, merely because they have to perform federal duties in our town! If those officers were unjust and rapacious, we should have cause, and good causd, to re quire their removal from among us;—but in the entire absence of all fraud or injustice on their part, in what have we just cause of complaint? I concur with your correspondent as regards the evil effects to our commerce, occasioned by the causeway at Mason’s Island; but that evil must now be endured, because it cannot be cured, except by the completion of our Canal. No doubt, had proper representations been made to Congress, at the time the work was proposed, and the evils clearly and distinctly pointed out, that it would have been prevented but of this I know but little, as it happened be fore my time—but this do know, that we all know what is right, after we see what was wrong; and if we are not prophets, still we lack not the vanity of wishing to be so esteemed.— But I would here inquire, purely for the sake of information, how wrould retrocession remove the evil? Suppose we were again a part of Vir ginia—could she overrule the law of Congress which authorised the causeway, and thereby remove the obstruction, as it now exists, to na vigation? Ao such right on the part of the State is perceived: and if the favorable action of Con gress is desired upon the subject it would more likely be had while we are a part of the District, and have a right to look to Cong ess, as our lo cal Legislature, for aid and protection, than we should have if we were no longer a portion of the District of Columbia;—neither does our pre sent political condition, in any wise, preclude Virginia, through her Delegation in Congress, from urging the removal of this injury to our commercial prosperity, if she sees fit to do so; and her motives to do so now, are just as strong ns they would be were we a part of the State. The only benefit which Virginia would have from our being retroceded, beyond what she now has, and ever has had, and ever may hare, would be the right to tax us, as she does other cities in the State,— whereas that power now belongs exclusively to Congress. If 1 mistake not, certnin public works on the James River were considered of primary importance to the prosperity of Virginia; and yet, if I am not still more mistaken, those works are yet unfinished, and so likely to be. If I be in error, as I often am I frankly confess, with all due humility will 1 submit to be correted by A Virginian.” Valerius. TO THE EDITOR OF THE ALEXANDRIA GAZETTE. Sir:— An article has recently appeared in pour paper over the signature of Vindex,” pur porting to be a reply to an article from my pen in the subject of Ministers of the Gospel elec lionedring for office. That writer has made some assertions in reference to myself, which ie, of course, must be expected to prove when iroperly called on, and which, from the lan guage he uses, he admits he is prepared to prove. Sow, sir, as those assertions were made in a pub ic paper, I deem such a mode of comniuni- j nation the proper one by which his proofs should re presented to mine and the public eye. You, iir,have acknowledged in your.paper thatCephas vas written by a member of Congress. Vindex nakes assertions in reference to Cephas which vould invest him with another character and tation. Now’, sir, I shall repeat, seriatim, the issertions of Vindex which I think it necessary o notice, and shall expect from him a direct nd unequivocating answer to the interrogato ies 1 shall propound: 1. Vindex states that Cephas “has made effort to conceal from the public his real n and calling.” Will Vindex be pleased to sta"!! the real name and calling of Cephas-and w'll he venture to affirm his calling to be differ from that which you have been authorized'^ represent it? 2. Vindex sneeringly remarks that Cephas professes to hail from Washington”—inurn,i9 that Cephas resides in and should hail from sornp place other than Washington. Will Vindex fa' vor us with the source of his information on this point, and state distinctly the place of Ce phas’ residence? t 3. He then goes on to insinuate that Cephas has, on one occasion, lost sight of his habitual caution, and boldly asrrts that the author of Ce phas did in a public manner avow the same sen timents and in the same language with those contained in the at tide over the signature of Ce phas. This is asserting a knowledge of the per son of Cephas, and a know ledge of his senf. ments from positive, personal testimony. Yin. dex is requested to point out distinctly and at curately the coincidence betw een the sentiments orally expressed by Cephas and those which Ce. phas has published in this paper. He is further requested to state the particulars of the avowal made by Cephas—the time— place-and who were the witnesses of the occurrence. j 4. Vindex then positively assertsthat he knows the real character of Cephas, and the place of his concealment—and threatens, in case Ce phas shall again make such declarations, to ex pose hint—for the language of Vindex can mean nothing else. Vindex is now called on to state the real character of Cephas—the place of his concealment—and such other particulars in re ference to Cephas as he knows, or as his pru rient fancy may have persuaded him are facts. And now let Vindex, “if he has spoken the truth on this subject,” for once, lay aside his pro pensity for equivocation and casuistical evasion and answer, to the point, all these plain and ca tegorical enquiries. I shall say nothing more at present; conclud ing, however, with a caution to Vindex,” that he deem not that the clerical office is a guaran ty for the possessor that he will, as long as he possess it, be respected for charity, truth, and candor, w hen acts are to be placed in the op- posite scale; and with this further caution that he consider not Cephas as anxious to enter in to any newspaper war with him, or as at all willing to furnish assistance to “Vindex.” by which he will be enabled to feed hisown cavil ling and disputatious propensities. Cephas. Washington, Dec. 24, 1834.

Mr. Snowden—Your correspondent “Jewah" (Jewess?) shews but little charity, though she la bors hard to convince all interested that she is overcharged with that first of virtues, j As it will be very agreeable to learn in which ‘•fair” bosom so much truth and goodness is lodged, pray request this interesting bearer of relief,” to attend at the Masonic Hall, and in struct the visiters in their obligations and duties; she may at the same time remove the doubts entertained by some, whether the governing mo- I fives, are as pure as those assumed, and whe- II ther this weak attempt to influence the ac- 1 tions of others, does not belong to a spirit of I dictation and exclusiveness not consistent with I the relation of a sister. A Looker o*. I The writer of the communication signed Jewnh,” in yesterday’s Gazette, very unjustly insinuates, that a deception was intended to be practised upon “the public, or Christian part of the community,” by the tenor of the advertise ment giving notice of the fair, Ac. for the bene fit of St. Paul’s Church. As preparations have been making for some weeks past for the said fair, I think it possible that our citizens general (ly were apprized, that it had for its object the collection of funds sufficient to liquidate a ba lance due on the purchase of the organ for St. Paul’s Church; and I presume the advertise I ment was merely to direct the attention of the public to the lime and place of holding it. i our i correspondent, in a very candid manner, ob serves, that the congregation are free from cen sure in purchasing the organ, because they “acted then for themselcesf and, immediate,) after, very illiberally condemns their laudable and honest motives in endeavoring to obtain funds to pay for it I think this is consistency with a vengeance; and would tell “Jewah, that the persons most prominent in getting up the fair, have, so far, acted entirely upon .heir “otrn hook”—for, if I am correctly informed, there has been no application to other denomi nations for donations either of money or mate rials. And having completed their preparations, they now offer to our citizens a numlsome va^ riety of fancy and useful articles; nn«! I trust they will find a ready and profitable sale them, maugre “Jewah’s” attempt* to the measure unpopular. In conclusion. I wou observe, that this praiseworthy attempt to pay just debt, will not prevent the ladies of St. t au Church from being (as usual) among the tore most in administering to the poor and open) our town; and if our friend “Jewah" W11' kPPf a bright look out, he may perceive them supply ing the necessities of life to the “destitute** dow,” and alleviating her distresses by fee^* and clothing her almost naked and starving o spring. It is a singular fact, in the history ol P™1 that the party claiming to be exclusively ftepw lican. should have elected three Federnlrd* the United States Senate, within the Pr,,y> year! Mr. Hubbard, of New Hampshire, was an opponent ol the War and who °PPo: Mr. Madison’s Administration, was elected oyer Gov. Bell, who supported both. Mr. W au~ 1 Senator elected from New Jersey, was allso opponent of the War; and Mr. Buchan*** Penn., evinced his republicanism by declaring that if thought he had a drop of democrat» blood in his veins, he would, let it out." these men are now the leaders in the domina party!—Albany Evening Jou.
