GAS to politcs-there is great revo-
luton in favor of Mir. Adams and MIR.
Clay. The opposition last winter has
secured the election of Mr.. A. for the
next term, at least SO far as regards this
section of country. The frnness and
wisdom displayed By him in his MESA
ges to the Senate have exalted him so
much that some of the veriest cavilling
factionists here succumb to the mastery
of his giant mind. All that can say is,
that trust we may always have such a
head to govern US, and such measures to
guide us"

The influence Of intemperance in drink
on the animal spirits, is justly depreca-
ted by all who feel the degradation which
is consequent on excuses Of this nature.
The influence of diet on animal bodies
is forcibly illustrated by the following
fact from treatise of DR.. Mosely. A
Mr.. Parker of Kingston, had a young
tiger, which, by being fed on milk, SUI
gar, and bread, became SO tame that
he went about the house like spaniel,
and slept on the same bed with him
mr. Parker was bled for fever and
slept after it-soon he awoke, for his
hitherto peaceable companion had gnaw-
ed through bis sleeve, detached the
compress, and was licking the blood
from the or6ce. Mr.. T. and the tiger
were in mutual CONSERVATION when he
rose in the bed-the tiger gave spring
to the top of high chest Of drawers,
from thence in horrible phrenzy ran a
bout the house, and having escaped to
the garden, was shot, So long as he
fed on common food, it appears he was
perfectly tractable, but the moment he
tasted blood, all the ferocious propensi-
ties of his nature burst forth.-Ratsigh

General Jackson lately declared, in
reply to a certain address. that the bat.
lie of New Orleans gave peace to the
nation. This is evidently mistake: the
battle of New-Orleans certainly reflect
ed great honor on those VINO were in
strumental in gaining il, and to General
jackson for directing the operations of
the army who won that glorious victory.
But il viii be'recollected That the tire atty
OF peace was signed at Client before the
battle Of New Orleans took place; aud
that battle and that Diciorg could not GER
tainlv have been the cs.tse that moved
the British government, through their
ENJOYS, to negotiate peace. After the
treaty was signed, we well remember
hearing that one Of the British envovs
said to those ofthe United States, "Gen
tlemen, you have got a good bargain,
Tor New-Orieans is in our possessions"
or words to that effect supposing, no
doubt,that the expedition that they were
informed would be sent against it, had
been sent. and had succeeded The pos
siblity OF its capture was, however dis
puted by Mr.. Clay, who knew the spirit
with which it would be defended. But
the story of the battle Of New Orleans
having then been fought. and the result
known, is entirely foreign from the fact,
and is an anachronism, which refer
