NAUTICAL narratives were forthcoming, it was con-
cudcd that the son of the sonnambnleht PORK
had gone to New York TO examine the paintings
which adorn the study of Col. Stone. The hur-
nv of the occasion did not permit leisure TO await
its return. So the experiment may be cons h',
ed rs terminating in thatconsummatlon, 10 WHICH
other trials may axve, no good end,
Ii should be matter OF heartfelt SFat.I"'ioh
TO every citizen of this wide spread repupnc' th,t
in the course of human events, he Is hlhlselI'
and not his own great grandfather or ms own
great grandson The enlightened condition or
the oSe is no way better demonstrated, than
bv the correct estimate Of the worth of the most
aniabIe of races. There are those, who lock
backward to the past, and onward through the
future. The committee looked only TO the pres
emf and the pigs From the temptations springs
deep rejoicing. The character Of the pig has
never been, and probably never will be, better
appreciated than Ivy the existing generation. On
such subjects, it is with great difficulty one can
prevent Himself from growing as eloquent as eau
Gus orators do. Where has genius breathed his
Hottest aspirations; where science extended her
empire widest; where improvement urged on
her renoyattng work where cultivation slreWed
the earth with beauty the wilderness WIN dos
som-and the hog not been there What pros
pery has frightened existence, what happiness
gladdcned life, what virtue enriched the heart,
where the pig has not been cherished? The
committee pause for reply.
They win repress their feelings; they arc onx-
present only plain facts and useful practical re-
marks, which may benefit the swine anti their
posterity.
With all the gentle graces and silent virtues
which encircle the pig, there is one spot on the
white of his excellence. The innocence and
quiet tenor of his life is unpoasantIy contrasted
with The base uproar he makes OIL having his
throat cut at its conclusion. As one of the mob
lest bards of England almost says, The hog
sin corporal mterancc makes a noise as great as
AS when giant dies"
The error needs only to be pointed out to be a
. mended.
Notwithstanding the appearance of prosperity
it is sadly to be feared there are secret evils
springing from the temptations of the times. In
imitation of high authority the committee decline
to commit themselves and beg leave to refer to
former reports for the full expression Of their
sentiments. 1t cannot be concealed, that there
is something rotten in the state Of porkdom. The
swine of New England have overtraded: they
have been seduccd into rash specuations in their
national domain OF mud: they have INDUCED in
frost bitten fancy corn stalks: they have relied Oh
the payment of the surplus revenue: they have
departed from the solid circulation of grain, and
devoted themselves TO deprecated currency of
dust and weeds.

of the United States
SIR--At meeting of the Democratic members of
the Legislature of the State and others, holden at
Montpelier on the Goth day of October, the follow
ing resolutions were adopted
"Resolved, That hold the principle of rota-
ton in Office to be republican in its and sal
utary in its operation and that it should be regarded
az we'll in Executive appointments as in elections
by the people.
Resolved, That all offices being created by the
people for their own benefit, it is not only right but
reasonable that their wishes should be consulted in
relation to the incumbents to be selected fill those
offices when the power of appointment is removed
from them
In accordance with the spirit of the above
lutions, the undersigned, friends of the administra
ton, respectfully recommend your Excellency
for Collector Of Customs for the District of Vermont
Alden Partridge Esq of Norwich, for Marshal, Axe!
Spalding Esq. of Montpelier, and for District Attor-
ney, WHY'S Lyman Esq of Burlington. We be-
eve that these well qualified for the
eral stations to which we recommend them and
their appointments will be entirely satisfactory to
the democracy of the State. We are fully satisfied
that the application of the principle expressed in
the foregoing resolutions, in relation the appoint
ments in question, will have strong tendency to
give the democratic party in the State, the ascen-
danCy at the next election.

Having succeeded in smuggling them
selves into office for two years, contrary
to the will and expectation oil their con,

be expected from them than that they
should cap the climax OF their reckless
usurpations by announcing that "thoy
will not resign, nor permit their names
to be used in the present canvass Inc

mandate as to the fiat of fate.
Their organ in this city however, does
not submit so tamely, but is Determined
or was determined on the very same DAY
that the Mississippian struck their nag

Bank there. Now if they are elected,
they will shout till the welkin rings, that
the people elected them, although they
positively withdrew. fnot elected, they
will argue that it was in consequence Of
their withdrawal, although in reality but
Il small part of the State will be aware of
any such act. No, the only course for
the Wings, is in despite of the PARTY ma
neuvreings to come up in one solid pha-
lanx to the polls and there record their
solemn verdict in favor OF such public SER
wants as will obey the sovereign people,
and by so doing teach all who would tram
pie upon their rights that it cannot be
done with IMMUNITY.
The following is the announcement Of
the Mississippian
The Congressional Eicction.--Wo OBJ
serve by the last Washington news that
Messrs. Gholson and Claiborne have OBJ
tanned their seats for two years, by final
vote of the House. We arc also assured
from undoubted sources, that these gen
tiemen will not resign nor permit their
names to be used in the present canvass.
Such being the fact, we no longer have
any authority for announcing their names,
and accordingly withdraw them.
When the writ of election was first IS
sued, we contended that it should have
been issued for the 25th Congress, and
that whosoever was elected would hold
their seats for hat time.
We were however disposed to see the
contest repeated at the November cleo
ton. for the purpose of siIencing the ella
mors of the Wings, and entirely putting
them to rout and defeat; but Messrs. Clai-
borne and Gholson having declined the
contest, we for one, do not desire to push
the congressional election 10 vote, al
though We must be permitted TO say we
do not think the policy good, which those
gentlemen have adopted.
Our own views on the subject are not
changed. But Messrs GhoIson and Clai-
borne having Withdrawn their names IS
candidate it is the duty of the democrat
ic party to abstain from voting for MEM
bers of Congress at the approaching cleo
! ton.

Is it possible Mr.. Claiborne had so poor
an opinion oithe intelligence of the people
of Mississippi, than they would be guiled
and humbugfd by such ridiculous decep-
tons? The PEOPLE, we trust, will in No

be, from the distinguished station in which
their misplaced partially and overween-
ing confidence paced him.

loving comment to some OF the letters OF
