message containing objections to the bill, 10
have supplied these omissions, and in some de-
gree at least to have repaired his former neg
ect but when that paper came to be read, il
was found that, so far from saying frankly that
he once favored & had been willing 10 sanction
the bill, but had been led (if such was the fact)
by subsequent reflection 10 adopt different views
upon the subject, he treated the measure as one
evidently inconsistent with his previously ex-
pressed opinions, and which it ought not to
have been supposed for moment he could ap-
prove.
Whether this conduct of the President is sus-
ceptible of Just defence or reasonable excuse, it
is not necessary now 10 inquire. have not
heard, nor can imagine any ground for either.
Whether an explanation of it has been offered
to any one of the gentlemen concerned know
not, but none was at any time offered to me
and while forbear to make the remarks, obvi-
GUS and painful as they are, which the transoc-
ton suggests, | declare the conviction that this
conduct of the President, standing without
known defence, excuse or explanation, consti-
tutcd IF no other reasons had exisied) ample
ground for withdrawal from his Cabinet with
out delay.
1t is scarcely necessary TO say that have not
ference merely between the President and his
Cabinet, either as to the constituiionaliy or the
expcdiency of bank, necessarily inerPoses
anv obstacles to full and cordial cooperation
between them in the general corduct of his adj
min:stralion and therefore deeply as regret
the veto of the first bill, did not feel mysefat
liberty to retire on that account from my stu
alton. But the facts attending the initiation
and disapproval of the last bill made a case to-
tally different from ihat-one it is believed
withou, parallel in the history four Cabinets;
presenting. 10 say nothing more, measure
embraced and then repudia' d-efloris prompt
cd and then disowned services rendered and
then treated with scorn and neglect Such
case required, in my judgment, upon consider
atoms private and public, that the official rela-
TONS subsisting between the President and
myself should be Immediately dissolved.

CROWi-CROW

The Locofoco "Chapmans" appear to find
much 10 crow over in the result of Vermont
election--but it is all with as much reason as
had their Western brother in the late Presiden-
tial election. For some reason the Wings did
not turn out, and their parry after drilling
for SIX months made out TO come out in near
ly their full strength and of course came
up within speaking distance of the Wings.
For Observation-Disclosures county turned
out about 5000 Whig votes at the late e.
lection, and the locofocos $500. Last
year the Wing vote was nearly 5000,
and the locofoco vote 2,4OO--showing
that the locos have gained nothing, and
that the Wings remained at home. Now
by the same effort of the Wings in Wind
sor county that the locofocos made this
year, the Wings would have come out with
their 3, 400 majority instead of some over
1000. Such is about the case all over
the State. If the locos will crow on they
will do us a favor, for our folks will see the
necessity of coming out mex. year.

From the Portland Erening Ga-ette.

Wa have lost the election not so much
because we have not real majority ofthe
voting power of the State but because our
party was buried in profound lethargy !;
the Veto of the President, coming on the
very eve of the election, unncrved our
friends they had looked to the establish
ment of bank as the consumation Of the
hopes and triumphs of their party and they
had not time to recover their tone and
spirit before they were called upon to give
new manifestation of their principles in
the ballot-boxes. They could not do it
they had no heart for the work--tOkens
seemed to be given that all was lost. On
the other hand, our opponents vera cheer
ed by what paralyzed us, and they took
from what appeared to be the signal of our
disunion to renewed efforts to recover their
lost power. This is manifest from the
state of the Notes.-The result is occasioned
by a falling off on one side. Our voters
did not and would not 90 to the polls. But
they are no less Wings, and as Mr.. CLAY said
of himself, they always have been and al
WAYS will be Wings.
When the occasion comes, after these
overhanging clouds shall have passed a.
way from our prospects, they will demon
straie the efficiency and the force of their
principles. Be ofgood cheer, then, you
who have fought the battle; stand 10 your
arms and your principles--one defeat does
not destroy an army NOR subvert kingdom
We shall collect our scattered and sum-
berIng forces, and again rally for the cause
fgood government and sound principles

The SUGAR TRADE.-We learn from Hunts
Magazine, that in 1886, there were 6,46I 900
lbs ofsugar shipped from New Orleans, although
the amount shipped in 1880 was trifing. In
1910, it had increased to more than forty-seren
millions Of pounds. Should the manufacture
OF Sugars increase for five years to come in
the same rate it has heretofore done, we shall
make Sugar enough for our own domestic
consumption. In 1889, nearly ten millions of
dollars were paid to foreigners, for sugar, an
amount astonishing, when it is perceived that
this exceeds the value of any one article ex-
ported from this country excepting Cotton
Troy Wing.

The size of the animal was made enormous
by stretching out the rertebrae by wooden
blocks between, and by putting more than the
natural number together, with some other slight
mistakes of that kind.
This much the public should know in order
not to mistake the bones of the Mastadon for
those of a new animal.-Cin. Republican.

the "Missourium.''
In the "Western Journal of Medicine and

bones is exposed. They are, in fact those of
the .Mastddon or Mammoth, and are only of
the common size.

FAITH AND Works. Faith without works IS
but a withered tree there wants both leaves and
fruits And works without faith, is one that hath
no root to give it sap and verdure. Faith is as
the meaning, and works are the expression Of
the mind Faith is the pin that fastens the soul
to the chariot Of eternity, while works are the
harness and the trappings whereby it is drawn
along, and without which all her operations else
useless Works without faith are like sala-
mander without fire, or fish without water
The element which they should live in is not
there land though there may seem TO be some
quick actions of life and symptoms of agility, yet
they are indeed but forerunners of their end, and
the very presages Of death. James Feltham.

" Then do you and Nance, as you call her,
come up to the hall this evening, and I'll inquire
into the matter, ! promise you" SO saying, the
squire rode off.
John and his wife went up accordingly in the
evening, and he gave small rap with the big
knocker at the great door. The door was open
ed by grand servant, who, without hearing what
the poor people had to say, exclaimed Oh, 90
-go-what business can you have here % and
shut the door
Johns wife burst out crying" There said
she, sobbing if her heart would break, g
knew that would be the end oft
But John had not been in merry England
merely to get his twelve guneas packed in two
cakes. " No." said he firmly, "rght is right
and I'll see the end of it." So he sat himself
down on the step of the door, determined not &c
90 until he saw the young squire; and, it hap
pened, it was not long before he came out.
81 have been expecting you some time, John,
said he "come in and bring your wife in;
and he made them go before him into the house
Immediately he directed all the servants to come
up stairs; and such army as there was i
was a real sight to see them
(Which ofyou,' said the young squire, with
out making further words, " (which of you all die
this honest woman give nay purse to ?'-bu
there was no answer Well, | suppose she
must be mistaken, unless she can tell herself"
Johns wife at once pointed her finger towards
the head footman &C there he is, said she, " il
all the world we're to the re-cargyman, mag
istrate, judge, jury, and all-there he is, and m
ready TO take my bible-oath to him-there he is
who told me it was all right when he took the
purse, and slammed the door in my face, without
much as thank ye for it"
The conscious footman turned pale
"What is this | hear" said his master. II
this woman gave you my purse, William, why
did you not give it to me ?"
The servant stammered out a denial but his
master Insisted on his being searched, and the
purse found in his pocket
" John, said the gentleman, turning round
'syou shall be no loser by this affair. Here are
ten guiaeas for you; go home now, but l viii
not forget your wife's honesty"
Within month, John Carson was settled in
a nice new-slated house, which the squire had
furnished and made ready for him. What with
his wages, and the reward he got from the judge
aud the ten guineas for returning the purse, he
was we'll to do in the world, and was soon able to
stock small farm, where he lived respected al
his days. On his death-bed he gave his children
the very three adyices which his master had Civ
en- him on parting =
Never to take abye-road when they could fol
low the highway
Never to lodge in the house where an old mar
was married to young woman.
And, above all, to remember that honesty is the
best policy.

Madame Henrietta Teller is native of Swift
zerland. Her family was among the best in Lau-

manners of the lady She was naturally Of a
cheerful temperament-and, like most young la

Ct this life, as permanent sources of happiness
Her prospects, indeed, seemed to promise as fair
portion Of earthly felicity usually falls to the
lot of the most favored.
She married a man VINO was highly esteemed,
one of the magistrates ofthe city; they had an
" elegant suficiency,' and were calculated TO
adorn the gay and elegant society which was
proud to receive them. And Heaven had blessed
them with one pure source of domestic happiness

Madame Teller had been educated in the Prot

though she had never made personal piety sub

she was faithful to teach her child whatever of
ruth and goodness she herself knew. She early
told her little daughter of God, her Heavenly Fa-

eye could see his glory. The child seemed to

her mother, feel that he was so far away-she
thought him near, wanted to see him, and was
