CATTLE SHOWS.


AT PAwTUxET. On Wednesday and
Thursday, last the annual Show and Fair
occurred at this place. The number of fine
animals was not as great as was exhibited
last year, but there was an improvement in
the breed and excellence of those present
ed. We we're glad to notice that the So
ciety's premium of $50 was awarded to the
best horse, an animal Of which the breed in
New England generally is lamentably de-
ficient, in speed, bone, and bottom. Pre-
miums were awarded for Agricultural Pro-
ducts-for Working Oxen-for Neat Stock
Sheep and Swine-for Mill, Shop, and
! Household Manufactures. A Telescope,
made by Mr.. William Hamlin, of Provl-
dence, received a premium of $2O-suppos-
ed to be the best ever manufactured In the
United Safes. Among the articles of do
mestic manufacture, were silk and worsted
! Stockings, an elegant Rug, made by
Newport Lady 20 years of age, and Fila
gree Baskets, made at Miss Seaman's
school, Providence.
The Plymouth County Show was well at
| tended at Bridgewater, on Wednesday last.
! The Show of working oxen, and mich
cows, was particularly good and the exhl-
bition of manufactures creditable. An adj
dress was delivered by John w. Whitman,
Esq. and we'll attended ball in the even
ing closed the other festivities of the holt
day. The following are among the toasts
drank on the occasion -
Our Corr, HouseS-May they be well fill
! ed-and our Farmers. may they be seldom
! coyned, but well bred.
The hardest Of all Iabor-The pains we
take to live without labor.
THE Presidential QueStion-May it be so
| discussed as to not introduce bad Prece-
dents.
The American Fair-too wise to take
the veil, and toe beautiful to need it.
The Massachusetts Charitable Associ-
atom made their triennial celebration in
Boston on Thursday last The President
of the United States, his honor the Lieu
! tenant Governor, the Hon. Messrs. Web
ster, Gorham, and Everett, the Mayor of
the City, President of the Common Coun-
ell, and other gentlemen who were invited
as guests, We're introduced to the Asso-
ciates.
After dinner thirteen regular Toasts
were giveu-among others, the following
! The President of the U. States: Let-his
works speak for him. After the cheers had
subsidized, the President rose and expressed
his thanks for the sentiment contained in
their toast, and proposed in return The
American Observation-Disclosures in the
Head-Skill in the Hand-and Benevo-
lence in the Heart. This toast was receiv-
ed with applause.
The Mayor of the City-As a working
man, good example to the Mechanics OF
Boston.
After the cheering which followed this
toast, had subsidized, Mr.. Quincy rose, and
expressed the qualification he felt in again
meeting the Mechanics of Boston, in the
old Cradle of Liberty. He brought to re-
collection the names of several of the old
Mechanics to whose spirited and eminent
services in former days our country was so
much indebted for its invaluable Constitu-
ton and Liberties and recognizing the
saying of that great Mechanic of Antiquity,
(Archimedes) whose bust forms the impress
of the Society's seal =" Give me wherein
to stand, and | will move the world"-of-
fered the following as a toast
4" The Mechanics Of BOStOn-Wielding
power, it is said capable to raise the world
may they never want means and opportuni-
ty to raise themselves"
GEN. JACKSON. It is an admitted fact
that General Jackson committed an outra-
| geous blunder in supposing he had author
itv, nnder a statute of the United States
to hang the members of the Hartford Con
vention as spies. 1t is admitted that he
committed another most egregious blum
der in constructing an act of the Virginia
Legislature, authorizing a Judicial Court
to decree a divorce, in case the fact of
adultery should be proved to be itself d.
vorce tit is admitted that he married a
woman whom twelve impartial men, sworn
to try the fact, had found guilty of the
crime of adultery it is admitted that,
without provocation, he challenged man
to fight duel, and shot him on the spot =
it is admitted that, in company with his re-
tainers, he made a violent assault upon two
| gentlemen, then his personal enemies, in
open day, with sword and pistol, with an
avowed intent to murder them; that he
severely wounded them, and would have
murdered them, but for the interposition of
other persons it is an admitted fact, that
he ordered six American citizens TO be
shot to death, because they misunderstood
doubtful point of law
! And yet, incredible to relate, there are
found in New England, men who are striv-
ing to elect this erring lawyer, this violent
and blood thirsty soldier as President of
the United States,--ip place of .Ne,c
England man, who is confessed to be a
peaceable and virtuous OTTOMAN intelli
gent, able, and accomplished Statesman.
