From, the Mewbvyport Herald.

We have published surprisingly marvellous
story Of Mr.. Dodsworth lying perdu, closely
packed in an avalanche, the last 66 years
We have heard Of toads imbedded in granite
and on breathing the vital air Immediately ex
pirng-but it seems our human toad bids fair
TO live to good OLD age, and become useful III
this, though not precisely in his generation
Believing, as we most devoutly do, every part
and particle of this story, it has suggested to
US, in all sobriety, some useful hints for the
guidance of those statesmen, placed in the ST.
luation of the rulers Of Great Britain, who are
dreading, as taught by Mafhus, the consequent
ces Of an nordinate multiplication Of the hu-
man kind under their administration. The
manifest and manifold mischefs resulting from
such state of things inevitably appear in the
shape Of famine, starvation, tumult, riot, dra-
goons, bayonets and blood shed. Now TO pre-
vent these distressing evils, We would suggest
to rulers thus encompassed, TO drain the redun-
dant population, by packing and freezing the
surplus in clever Icelandic or Swiss avalanches
much in the manner the Shakers put down
beef-steaks in charcoal, or freeze up chickens
in winter for spring use. This process would
be accomplishing many important objects, alike
dear to the phlanthropist and the politician.
1t would prevent starvation & gun-shot wounds,
and be substituting very quiet and comforta-
Bile torpidity, it would too secure the certainty
of supply, whenever needed, to fill up the
breaches caused by pestience or war, by the
operation of game-laws in the shape of steel
traps and spring guns, by the hear,less protrae-
ton of Chancery suits, Catholic oppression
and other like sagacious ordinances Of wise
and mercful government.
The benefits Of this discovery are however
so general that we should despair of doing equal
honor to them all. Thus in the case Of all un-
principed or unruly stage-hero, instead of"over
with him" how much wiser to cry "freeze him
ups" till he grows tanner. Some of our Con-
gress orators might have been very probably
picked in an iceberg Infinitely lower than the
bottom of the bottomess pit" to quote an ex-
preston, and the nation would have made
saving by paying the curer's fees Pressing eau
Gus spouters, lnterminabe benchmen, terma-
giant wives and snaring husbands might take
the benefit of an ice house occasionally, till
they should recover common sense and COM
Portable tempers. But the subject is exhaust
less and we shall quit it with voting our thanks
to Mr.. Dodsworth for his instrumentality in
certifying to the world discovery of such i'm
mense importance to its future well-being.

eating, it supported man erect upon its back,
without appearing to be the least incommoded
by the weight, or for moment quitting its re-
past. Its appetite. is rather voracious, and it
eats fruit, melons, the entrails OF fowls, &C. with
the greatest avidity: peach, with its stone,
is swallowed with the greatest ease. 1t ap-.
pears to be entirely harmless, and may be ap-
preached with perfect safety. AT sunset it clos

angular near It's anterior and posterior extrem-

THE JACKSON MEETING.
DELTA

The friends of General Jackson have an un-
doubted right to express their opinions and wish
es relative to his election to the Presidency; and
the community TO whom they are addressed, are
equally free to scrutinize them. Had they con-
tented themselves with indicating their opini-
ons, and delineating with fidelity his excellen-
cies, no exception could possibly have been ia
ken But their sentiments go forth TO the COM
munity, evidently with the intention Of making
an impression, that in their opinion, the rights
of the people have been invaded; and that, by
management and corruption, the election was
effectedby the House of Representatives.
These indirect charges go forth sanctioned
by Judge of the United States Court, who
presided as Chairman of that meeting, and by
the Attorney General of this State, who intro
duced the resolutions. That suspicion may be
sufficient reason for Withholding support,
shall not deny; and as, in the judgment of these
men, the humane principle Of the law, that a
man shall be deemed innocent until proved gail
~, does no. in this case apply, shall meet
them; and from known facts and known princi
Piles OF human nature, trace out the motives oil
MIR Clay and of others who supported Mr.. Ad
ans. And in pursuing this investigation,
