THE RESULT.

rbe suit of the elections, on the business and
general prosperity of the country is being alrea
DIV realised, to some extent, but the difference
annot and never viii be known.
There were immense sums of money due, and
the adjustment of which was depending the
election. Had Mr.. Van Buren, been elected the
creditor would have had no hope of better times;
he would have issued his execution-fore-
closed his mortgage or executed his trust-as it
is, he has prospect that property will increase
in value, that security will be enhanced in price,
and hence is more available in the hands.of the
debtor. The credi or will call the debtor to his
aid, and having the benefit of his cooperation,
the debt viii be secured and surplus left; whereas
had MIR. Van Buren, been elected, the whole pro-
perry of the debtor would have been sacrificed
and the debt unpaid. The extent of the good
done in this way no man can tell.
Next, the impression is now universal that
we are to have better times--and this impression
will give better times. He who has funds 70
invest will not keep them locked up, because he
knows that property Will increase in value. and
give him the interest ON his money He that is
in debt, can now sell property, and will no
longer be forced to give dsurious interest. II
follows, that large sums heretofore employed in
usury, will now be had at fair rates of interest
or else invested in property, and thus become
active
The mlser who boards will get more conf
dence; he viii partalke of the common feeling,
and bring his treasures into activity. The banks
will now make loans to men of business. and
enterprise will not be prescribed as il has been
and hence the mechanic and laboring man will
once more find employment and comfort JOY
and prosperity will once more gladden. the heart
OF many man, who has for years been borne
down by the cruel experiments of this wicked
administration.

since, party of farmers assembled together at
mound on the premises of DIR. Hughes, for the
purpose Of digging into the same mound, and as
pertaining what it contained. They accordingly
commenced operations, and after digging some
three feet below the surface of the monnd, they
came to layer of hard earth, similar to brick
On breaking through this layer, they were not
little surprised to find large roll of old Soon
tinental Bills neatly enveloPed in an Unframed
buffalo skin. On further search number of an
cient coins were found, composed chiefly of zinc,
brass, copper and pewter. But what is most re-
markable, an iron time-piece was found nearly
at the bottom of the mound This watch, or
time-piece, was marked on the inside ''Pela

THE TOBACCO INTEREsr-A meeting of the
Tobacco Planters of Dinwiddie county, Virginia,
was held at the Courthouse of that county, on
the 18th ult., at which the following preamble
and resolutions were passed, in reference to the
enormous duties levied upon Tobacco in other
countries, which amounts to from one hundred
to eight hundred per cent: sl
N&That in conformity to the principles Of our
GoveSSment, we cherish and entertain towards
all nations feelings OF amity and respect, and de-
sire perpetnation of the same so long as they
can be maintained upon just and liberal princi-
piles. That as Government we have extend
ed the olive branch to all nations, and offered to
all, trade and commerce upon terms of mutual
reciprocityj and whilst our hberality has been
freely accepted and extensively annoyed, we have
received in return comparatively little else than
monopoly and exclusion: That whilst several
of the nations of Europe are literally inundating
our country with their Injuries, nearly duty
free, thereby poisoning our morals and enerva-
ting our constitutions, TOBACCO, the most valued
staple of nearly two millions OF American free
men, is allowed to be taxed in their countries

per cent; That whilst the powers of reason

England, we utterly rePudiate, as revolving to our

cuf1DsEN AND POLITICS.


A Harrison Association composed Of I" BOYS =
has been formed in New York. This is 10 DC
regretted Politics soon enough arrest the at
tention of adults in this country, without intro
ducing to the preiudices Of lads the exciting
questions with which candidates for ofhee arc
so frequently associated. During the contest IN
this city, three or four professions OF political
character were organized for the amusement oil
lads. Political banners We're borne, notices
were displayed, and thus the feelings of num-
Der of children were enlisted in grave and inn
portant matters, the merits of which they of
course could not understand These demonstra-
tions should be discouraged at the commence
ment They are fraught with injury both to
morals and to patriotism. The effects of early
prejudice are frequently all potent in after life
If, therefore, the youthful mind receive a false
impression in boyhood, and before it attains
condition of intelligence and reason to enable it
to decide for itself, the consequences cannot but
be injurious. Street parades, moreover, are not
likely under any circumstances to be productive
of much good TO children, They give them a
relish for rewlyism and violence, and erase those
lessons of order and propriety which 1t is the
duty Of every parent to ineulcate. 1t is well
enough, perhaps, to embrace every opportunity
of impartipg to the rising generation, proper
and impartial information as to the political his
tory of the country, and the cardinal principles
Of the leading parties of the day; but efforts to
enlist the feelings and excite the prejudices of
children in questions of a partisan nature, the
real merits of which they do not understand,
cannot be too earnestly deprecated. -I2hilddeI-

EAsTERLY STORM; OCEAN SWELL, &c
The easterly storm that has prevailed for so
many days, has created an unusual tide, and
done much injury to the lower wharvss, and
the property upon them. 1t has caused a
remarkable swell in the bay, which has risen
six feet above Nahant beach, where the surges
are dashing over the rocks in awful majesty;
whilst at great Nahant, they have thrown their
spray over the billiard room, besides carrying
stones of considerable size. as far as the fields in
the vicinity of the cottages of Messrs. Sears
and Crowninshield. The effects of the storm
at the peninsula have been distinctly visible,
with good glass, from some parts of the city,
presenting sublime spectacle, and large
parties have gone to view its effects upon the
beach, where thousands of fish have been
driven ashore from their storm disturbed cav
erns. :. q. ~
In the harbor, it is thought that much damages
has been done to the islands, particularly at
Green Island, where ii is feared that two dwell
ling houses have been washed away. The
fishing craft have been unable to put out, and
we have had no fish market for eight days--an
occurrence ofscarcely one in twentyyeaTs, and
