 AS to the question of change; citizens of other states and many at home, appear to have lost sight of the fact that Pennsylvania spGs s,ever in fapor Of Van Bssren, She never gave vote for him in any form. When he. stood before the nation |" the great rejected" of the Senate, wifh all the claims of martyr dom upon the sympathies and votes of the Jackson men of Pennsyl ylvania, they said, " we Jackson, excepting always to vote for Martin Van. .Buren. We will vote for any other can didate, but not for Hn1 will throw away our votes before we will misapply them ;" and they did throw them away, and splainly told their party and the American people, that Pennsylvania 0ould neUer vOte for Martin Van Baren.
 COmsistency.- In small town in Vermont, according tothe Boston Transcript, there re- turned few weeks since, a young man, a na- tive of the place, who had been absent for about ten years, having resided in Georgia, where he had accumulated. considerable property about ten thousand dollars of (which were invested in slaves. Shortly after his return he was seized with fever, and ron August lstdied, without family, and of course his property went to his brothers and sisters, three of whom were members of the Aboli- tion sOciety-and one of them is, president of the society. When called upon to know what they intended to doT with the slaves, it being intimated that they might now show their consistency, the president of the society replied, ," that the laws of the state were so oppressive to free blacks, that it would be mercy to sell them to some kind master, who in conformity with the request of his deceas- ed brother, should give bonds, that families should never be separated .I5.4 ,.njz,js;1

 Not Bdd.-A green, good-natured, money making, up-conntry Jonathan, whosaid every thing drily, "got things fixed" and struck up bargain for matrimony having no par ticular regard for appearances, the parties a. greed to employ green-horn country justice to put on the tackling. He commenced the ceremonies by remarking that, <. it was GUS tomary on such occasions to commence with aprayer, but he believed he would omit that;" after tieing the knot, he said itswas customa- ry to give the married couple some advice, but he believed he would omit that also, !" it was customary to kiss the bride, he believed he would omit that" The ceremony being ended, Jonathan took the squire by the but ton-hole, and clapping his finger on his nose, said, squire, it is customary to give the nna- gistrate five dollars-bmt 6lieue Pn onsit dtat." 7'@t a-aa ,fle1 1ef a | Bah.

 Rail Roads in Cottaraugus.-A facetious Buckeye, or Ohiote, says that the system of travel through the Cattaraugus woods is, for every passengerto go on foot near the stage, to be ready to relieve the vehicle from any accident on account of the deep holes and ruts in the road. This was borne quite cheer fully. no alternative being nigh. At last, emboldened by success, the agent insisted that each passenger should carry a rail, to pry the coach out of the mud. Some good natured persons consented one man de- clined. "Look here! :" said he to the agent U" have paid for passage in your stage, and I'll go on foot to oblige you, but won't

 Ercerpt.-The following profound remark is found in the nominations of P. Pilgarlick Pigwiggin, Esq :: GU ,l .a.4s .,ig..s r,.7.a..t,.
 $ Lifss like a field of blackberry and rasp- berry bushes. Mean people squat down and pick the fruit, no matter how they black their fingers; while genius, proud and per pendicular, strides fercely on, and gets noth- ing but scratches, and holes torn in his trow- sers."

 A Shark of the Law.-If there is any being worthy of the detestation of the human race, it is petty logging, cheating, overreaching lawyer-of whom there are many in this re- zion. His profession gives him an opportu- nity toindulge his rascality beyond the scope afforded to other men, and the poor and un- suspecting will be sure to fall prey to his designs. We have lately heard of an exam pie of the kind. He is resident of the town of w, not forty miles from Boston {; and here is the relation of one of his late tricks. A poor old Revolutionary soldier owed a butcher sum of money which he was not a. ble to pay. He gave him calf which he had, and this reduced the debt to three dol lars and half. The old soldier had nothing in the world but a small garden, planted with onions and cabbages, which when they had become ripe might yield him twenty five dollars. This worthy limb of the law whom we have spoken of, persuaded the butcher to sue the old soldier, and his onions and cab bages were pulled up in their comparatively worthless state, and sold at auction. They produced nine dollays-of which the lawyer took sir for costs, and gave the auctioneer iRree for his trouble leaving the poor man without his garden. and his debt unpaid. .-sst Q As74R-sas i5siflf m Boston Herald.
