I ViEinil, n favor ofJudge Whites election to the pfasidsncy. On this 0cension, Hugh Mi.
 son presided. To discussing the claims Of the twO candidates, MesSrs. White and Van Bu.
 ren, they went at length into those Of the late
 ter. and the result b very far from aattering
 to his merits. Or his qualifications. In the cOurae of theif Femarks on the subject. among
 many other objections to him. they say-
 "Mr. Van Buren has been regarded as the 4 chief author and inst;gator of that system of Iindiscrfminate prescription. which ia SO dan tgerOus tO the freedom of our opinion in our country. This system had it's origin in New York, with political party of whom he has
 long been the acknowledged head. who have
 publicly avowed the AagitioUs maxim, that
 "the spOils belong to the victOrs," it's power
 was never leit in the councils of the Federal Government until Mr. Van BMren entered the
 Cabinet, and it is now extending it's corrupt 4 ing influence under his auspices through the United States. The genius of our govern
 nent guarantees to all, perfect freedom of opinion in civil as we'll as religious concerns. l And when that right is once efFectnally i'm. paired as to the political sentiments of the cit { izen. the ehackles of tyranny may be easily
 hxed on the mind and the conscience as to every other subject. They who fll public { stations should be held to rigid and exact f-
 delity-lbut when in addition to this, they ate' required intau things to thiak'according to some prescribed rule, with those in power, it is easy to foresee that the government he- comes -despotism, and its dependents hypo- critics. We fear that this is one ofthe numer- ous means which are multiplying to concen- trate power in the hands of the Chief Magis- trate. since more than two thousand office hOlders- have been removed since Mir. Van Buren's connection with the administration, md Ahnpa m af af RhPu0 eNr1s nanSc for office. where formerly there was but oue."
 A spirit like this. should il prevail to any considerable extent in Virginia, may have an imporf9nt bearing upon Mr. Van Buren's in. fefests in that infuential and important state. There is in this account. an array of charges against him as a politician, formidable in their character, as we'll as in their number, and which, we should think. would require all the ingenuity. as well as versatility of the editor Of the Richmond Enquirer, to answer and Tee fute.-N. Y. Advertiser.
 To FARMERs.-Something better than scGre-crOsra. "A gentleman Of this town in- formed us day or two ago. that he had dis covered an effectual mode of preventing birds and crows from pulling up and destroying young corn. It is simply to hang up around the field few ears of corn, say six or eight rods apart. The sense ofsmeil in crows. &c. is very acute, and it is solely by the aid Ofthis sense that they are enabled to ascertain where the buried seed is. The suspended ears of corn. giving forth greater degree Of their natural odor, have the effect to bewilder the birds iu their search for the corn in the earth, and prevent them from scenting it out. Our informant stated that he had tried the exper iment several years. and found 1t completely successful in every instance.- Danbury Goz'
 7ovn and Country.-The Bristol, R. I. l Gazette describes, with much graphic humor. the fictitious and expensive wants created by n residence in towns and cities, as compared with those of the country:
 Sometimes. in the country, it SO happens that an article of the, least imaginable value, 1 rendered indispensable by snme circumstance or other cannot be procnred but at the most enormous expense. Then the good old lady, or the honest Old gentleman, is ready io ex- l claim-Ah! # WE only lived in fosrn we shouldn't be SD bothered.
