HORSES AND CATTLE-in England md in
the United States.-In an essay on the princi-
pies of Statistical Inquiry by Archibald Rus
sell, he supposes that throughout the country
generally, the expense of keeping a horse may
be put down at $25, and that there being
about 3,500,O0O nthis country, it costs to keep
them Ss7,500,000. We apprehend it would
be easy to prove that the use Of mules and
oxen might be substituted for the horses to an
extent that would accomplish a saving of $40
or S15,O00,0O0!-equal to the interest on a
sum sufficient to McAdamise a road over the
Rocky Mountains, or to tunnel the Chesa-
peake. The proportion of the produce of the
land which horses consume in a country, is
estimated to be about one-sixth. In England,
in 1884, the number Of horses was l,5O0.000;
the number of cattle was 4, I19,As7. In New
York, in 1885, the horses were 52f,592j and
the number of cattle I,ss5,73l. In 1880, in
New-Jersey, there were of horses and mules
1896, and of cattle 1860. The number
Of horses and cattle in proportion to popula-
ton being about double as many in America
as in England.
The supposition Of this writer is, that in
England, one-fourth of the cattle are killed
annually. lie puts down the cattle in all
America at 11,0O0,000-Anaerican Farmer.

STRANGE DocTRINE-It has been urged,
indirectly, if not directly. IN some political
papers, that the President should be guided
by the will of the majority-that it is the
height of presumption, and even tyranny, on
his part, to veto a bill in whose favor a ma
llority of the public have decided.
It is a duty which their servants owe the
public, to do all they can to prevent the spread
of a heresy SO fanatical, 30 grossly unconsti-
~tutional. The president of the United States
is sworn to " preserve, protect, and defend the
constitution and not to 'fobserve, fulfill and
obey the will of a majority" The president
has actually nothing TODD with the will Of the
majority, except where that will is erroneous,
or Unconstitutional. It is then his duty to "de-
fend'' the constitution against the majority !;
but in no case is he permitted to obey a ma
ifority and disobey the constitution.
A majority is no guide for the president
The constitution is his guide. To that, al
that alone, he must look for a charte Of his
duties. They are all written there, and not
one of thcm says " be obedient to the majority
let the will Of your constituents be your
law No, no this doctrine is the fruit of a
spirit which finds no support in the constitu-
ton, and which, opposed by the plain provi-
sions Of that instrument has become desperate
and reckless.
Malxffas-seff-inter11sst is a sentinel that
never sleeps on his post if the enemy enters
the fortress, it must be by Geunter-marehing.
We say we forgive an injury, but not an
insult !; this is a mistake-we forgive neither
except in words.
The outside Of a man is the least deceptive
part of hiEl-the whited sapulchre is q good
smile.
Men are seldom idle when profitable mis-
chief presents Itself.
A mans true character is a greater secret
to himself than to others the reason is, if ne
Judges himself, he is partial, and if he asks Tx
opinion of others, he is deceived.
Life is said to be burthen; but It is O. rittIs
singular that they support it with the ggr Gates
fortitude who have the least reason to b,
satisfied with it.
Laws were made before lecks--Nt if Their.
were no locks there would be DO flaws.
The solicitude of the world. about our Fri
yate affairs, arises not SO much from friendl
| curiosity, as rum the hope OF fnding us in
worse plight than they suspected us to be.
