THE PRESIDENTIAL QUESTION.

The question, 4" Who shall be our next Presi-
dent" has been agitated in a great number OF
public prints, for some time past, with no in
considerable degree of warmth and in proper
ton to the zeal of partizans in favor Of one can
didate, has been frequently their asperity and
terness against the others. That this question
was started prematurely and has been conduct
ed with some indiscretion, those who are accus-
toned to think and act coolly, can scarcely en-
terrain doubt Our readers, or some Of them,
may perhaps be surprized to find that we have
not yet entered the lists. with the vehemence Of
some other editors, in favor Of one Of the candi-
dates; but we freely confess our disposition TO
abstain from the conflict, until il becomes ALSO
lutely necessary to enter the arena, and grid on
our arms, in the presidential warfare. We pro-
pose, however, 70 commence shortly, an exami-
nation Of the subject, not so much with view
to set up favorite candidate of our own, as to
place the qualifications, merits and public servi-
ces of those prominent characters, who have
been nominated, fairly before the public, that
they may have an opportunity Of forming de-
liberate judgment of their talents and claims for
the highest honors, that can be bestowed BY a
free people on the man Of their choice. Be
heving, as we do, that the people are capable of
judging correctly, when the qualifications of
candidates for political trusts are well under
stood, we shall endeavor to perform this part of
our duty with plainness and simplicity, without
passion or prejudice, having desire TO
" Nothing ertenuste, nor down aught in malice.
When the people are wei informed, we are also
satisfied they viii have the independence TO re-
solve rightly and safely, in placing the deposit Of
their liberties in the hands Of those men, with
whom the trust viii be sacredly preserved. on

YORK COUNTY

The electioneering contest for member OF
Congress- in this District, is carried on with de-
gree of virulence and personality, which it gives
us no pleasure to witness. We can hardly be-
lieve iteany more consistent with souRd policy
than with good manners, and decent regard to
the courtesies Of life, TO descend TO vulgar abtSe
if not malignant aspersion of private character
in political contests. Neither can we believe the
public sentiment so depraved, as to be inhuenc.
ed by such appeals to its sensibility. The coars
est attempts to excite the worst passions must be
regarded, by people of honorable feeling anc
honest principle, with any thing rather than ap
probation

Bronehotomy.--This very delicate surgical
operation was performed last week upon small
child Of Capt. John Preston, of Ashford, about
20 months old. by DR.. Joseph Palmer Of that
place. A bean Of the largest kind, usually called
the Kidney bean, which the child had picked
10 the garden, lodged in lis wind pipe. The
Doctor found il labouring under such threat
ening danger of sufocation as TO preclude any
hope Of assistance from the neighboring surg
cons. He sent for DR.. Hubbard or Pomfret,
but the operation could not be delayed. Con-
vulsions took place, aud the child appeared to
be dying.-Dr. Palmer, however, notwithstan-
ding the want Of proper assistance, and the dis
and even remonstrances Of the
family, commenced the operation, and in few
minutes the bean was extracted, the wound
closed. and the child relieved. l2 hours after
the operation, it was as cheerful as ever.

IMPORTANT DISCOVERY.

A man by the name of Daniel Hawley, who
has been a school teacher in this village and
its vicinity for about sixteen years past, and
established good character, has lately invent
cd new construction of materials, which,
with the lOadstone, viii attract and draw steel,
& which will not continue, but is Immediately
repelled the contrary way and passes the load
stone. Snch an operation BY the magnet has
always, by the great, been considered to be
impossible, which now may be thought to be
more Of miracle than fiction. As the oper-
alton has the appearance of real perpetual
moving wheel, which. when finished, it is
thought can be applied efFectualy TO boats on
canals, and for raising water, and to many 9TH
err advantageous machineries. Having seen
tbe operation on water, and not knowing why
il has not heretofore been carried into execu-
ton. we are led to suspect that necessary
means has, in great degree, prevented the
inventor from accomplishing his design 10 this
great philosophical and important discovery !;
and were this 10 be the case, we think that
immediate assistance should be rendered him.
as we understand that his earnings for many
years past, have betrayed the expenses up TO
The present time. Ii may here be observed.
that be has invented something that will stop
the force Of attraction which surpasses the
knowledge Of all philosophical discoveries.
