1 X pig Is much abused animal. Every
 minimizing boy worries them--and every ur-
 chin throws brickbats at them--but they go 1 through the world and put up with every
 thing with most commendable philosophy. The goermand, who boasts of his fine taste,
 and devours pates, omelettes, sauces, and a thousand kinds of meats, is not whit more luxurious than pig who lies in the mud and
 water of q warm summers day, and grunts at every one who goes by him. 4 pig IS like politician. There is no hole so narrow or so dirty that he will not creep through, squealing Justify all the while, to get mouthful of corn from the public crib. They live i'll filth, and 1t is a second nature to them, and therein is another pointof resemblance. There is no animal that makes so much noise at trivial mshap-and none that gets over it and goes of quietly, so quickly as a pig. The whole business of their lives is to get fat-and therein they resemble an alderman. They are more obstinate than a Dutchman, more peryerse than mule-and yet there is a laconic brevity about them in which they have the advantage of editors who write long articles to let people know that they are on the fence.
 Reader, did you ever drive a pig to market! If you did, you must have observed how the little squealer ran from side to side of the  road, like an editor accommodating himself to the humors of his patrons. All at once, he would dodge you, and run back with all his might-and if you had cord to his neck, 1t was always about your legs.
 Almost every animal in the world goes out of 1t more decently than pig. He makes as much noise about 1t as if his life was worth something-and squeals like vengeance till the last minute of his mortal existence. In this he Is inconsistent, for he loses the cha raeter of a philosopher, which he has hitherto supported. He does indeed ''screw his cou- rage to the sticking point," but there 1t fails him. We could never explain to ourselves why pig should be so terrified at the thoughts of death. It cannot be that his con- science troubles him. and forces him to set up so dolorous lamentation. It is as hard to get him to die, as to put truth in the mouth of certain editors. Pigs are true republicans. They understand liberty and equality to per fection-they have their rights, and they de- fend them. They sleep after true repubii- can fashion-and if one of their brethren un- dertakes to disturb them of a cold night, they make as woful an outory as did a neighbor of ours when he lost a ssfat job." A pigs whole life is a farce-and ends in his being hung up by the heels with stick in his mouth, sub- ject to the orders of the kitchen cabinet

Royston and Rngo for the roseeution--Hubbard and Stevenson for the defendant. The jury retired only few minutes, and returned verdict of Gully. The sentence of the law was pronounced against him, by the Hon. EDWARD CRoss, in serious and so- semn manner, such as few of Us have ever witnessed before, and, after conviction, he requested of the court a speedy execution the crime for which he had been tricd-and says that the gaIlows is due him as a reward.

Dr. Noah Webster, in a con1munra,.. io Silliman's Journal, gives an accon,t ~ some extraordinary cold winters; hn, VI ~ for the majority of them, he does not oao,s lis authority, we know not what deerae ~ as credit Is due to them beyond that if 1'' name. As, however, he Is careful eom ' piler, we presume that they may be receir. ed without misgiving. For the amns.. ment of our readers, we subjoin few # his instances:
 sin the year 400 the Euxine was cove, ed with ice fer 20 days Iii 859. tha Aa riatic was covered with ice; but for ubs. length of lime does not appear. In s2q the Thames was frozen over for l3 week.. the same fver was also frezen oyer ;s l263, 1869 and l607-s. Several timss since the same has happened, thoneh m, mentioned by Dr. Webster. In l649 Boston harbor was so locked by ice. ,bae teams passed from one isle 10 another. ami the ice extended so far into the sea, that m water was visible from the town. The winter Of l633 was so severe in Eurone that trees were split by the frost. Ioaded sledges passed on the ice from Boston to Nanlasket in the winter of l696-7. On the 12th December, l70s, the frost in New. England was so intense, that trees were killed. \ fall Of snow took place in Feb. ruary, 17l7, so deep, that people in Bos. ion had 10 get out of their chamber Wn. dows. Eleven hundred sheep perished on Fishers Island, iron. being buried Is feet in the snow two were found alive aiier lapse of 2s days, they having supported themselves by chewing the wool of the others. In l780, the Chesapeake was coy. cred with ice as far as the mouth of the Pc. tonae. In the same year, troops of horse and heavy cannon crossed on the ice from New York 10 Staten Island and Long Is. land Sound was nearly covered with iee.- Alm st all the birds of the forest perisheda
 From these accounts we may infer, that severe winters will occasionally take place, though, owing to The effect of extended cnl. tlvation in.moderatlng the temperature, they maybe less frequent, and perhaps not quite so pinchiug, as in earlier ages.

GEORGE HowLANp, Sec'y

We invite the attention of our readers to the cor
respondence between the Committee of the Baltl-
more Convention and the Hon. Martin Van Buren
on the subject of his nomination to the Presidency
which is published in our to-days paper. Mr.. Var
Buren's answer to the communication of the COM
mittee is well worthy of its distinguished author, is
precisely such as might have been expected from
him, and will doubtless afford much satisfaction to
NIL who feel friendly to his elevation to the honora
Bile Office for which he stands, the peoples can
didate. He boldly challenges his enemies to prove
the foul slanders, which they have repeatedly utter
ed and published respecting him as intriguing for
the Presidency. Nay, he appeals even to his friends
for any proof whatever of his soliciting the nomina-
ton, or being in any way concerned or implicated
in any arrangement which had for its object such
nomination. Who of the opposition can say as
much The fact is, the silly efforts of the opposition
to blast the political prospects of Mr.. Van Buren,
have done him more service than all the good wish
of his friends. They have enlisted in his favor,
the sympathies of the people, who uninhuenced by
the sordd motives of proessed politicians feel none
of that inveterate rancor which characterized such
as have purely selfish views, to justify their opposit
ion to the voice Of the democracy.

Ashes as Mdnme.-Farmcrs who now have ash
hand, will find it profitable to apply it as top
dressing their corn, instead of selling it at the
fisheries. An application of ashes to this crop will
not unfrequentis cause an increase of more than five
times the value of the ashes at the price they
commonly sold. Ashes which have been kept per-
fecty dry and uninjured far preferable to eached
though the latter is very valuable. When it is APP
piled to corn, gill Of that which is fresh or
unmoistened will be enough; ifleached, hafa shovel
full will not be too much Ii is recommended that
when unIeached ashes is applied, it be placed on
he surface round each hill not to touch the
plants it might otherwise injure them by its
Farmer.

There those who pretend to believe the Ian
guagc used by the President in his annual message
to Congress in relation to our claims on France,
highly insulting; and that an apology for, ex
panation of the passages considered is due to the
French from the President. We think differently.
IF the French choose to construe the enda-
ton of the President 10 Congress that decisive steps
should be taken TO compel France to fulfil the
ty if she continued refuse, insult, they are
welcome so to do. Why should the President apollo
gise for language which the duplicity and shut
fling conduct of the French compelled him to use
Why should he apologize for demanding the full
flment of the treaty stipulated and ratified by the
representatives ofthe two nations, or explain why
he has done his duty and acted in accordance with
the feelings Of majority of this republic respecting
the wanton violation Of that treaty President
Jackson asks in the of the Republic for moth
ing but what is right, and will submit to nothing
that is wrong. The reckless and headlong opposi-
ton who have chuckled so much in the hope that
the President could be induced 10 comply with the
condition affixed to the indemnity bill in order to
secure the twenty-five millions, may cease their re-
jocing. The required apology will never be made !
Better far lose the indemnity than bow in servle
submission to the insulting mandates of "A foreign
