A Hog Story.-We have heard many

the recent political contest, and among the
rest The following:
A farmer in Illinois, who had many fine
fat hogs running at large in The Missssip-

time To time, and after many imprecaions
upon the ..wild varminrs," had his suspi-
cinns somewhat awakened. that Que Of his

his own hogs, had hand in the maler.-

him with his rifle on his soulder, slealIhi-

turned the hog, aud The fellow drew bis
hunting knife aud run up. and was jus, in
the act of sticking him, when the owner
of the hog stepped out Of his place of con-
cealmenl and slapped him on the back j;
saving, "Ah! my fine fellow have

THE BRIDE.

BY CHARLES JEREYs.
Oh take her. hut be faithful still,
And may The bridal VOW
Be sacre;i held in after years.
And warmly hreathctl as now,
Remember lis no common tie,
That binds your youthful hearts,
'Tis one that only truth should weave,
And only death can part.
The joy Of childhood's happy hours,
The homes of riper years,
The treasured scenes of early youth,
In sunshine anil in tears;
The purest hopes her bosom knew,
When her young heart was free.
All these and murc she now resigns,
To brave the world with lt.e.
Her lot in life is fixed with thine,
Its gonl and i'll to share,
Aud well know twill he her pride
To soothe each sorrow there,
Then take her and may lie ing lime
Make all Thy JOYS increase,
Aud may yonr days glide swiftly on,
In happiness and peace.

Presidents MEssAeE.-The Message Of Presi-
dent Tyler will be found in todays paper. It's great
length compels us to be brief in its notice, and ex-
cludes our usual variety of matter. The only i'm
portant feature in it, and that one looked for with
such anxiety, is his plan for Bank, or Fiscal A.
gent as the Wings choose to call their proposed char
tiers. His plan, we think, will strike many with
constituent His late acts wrestling the Constitution
from violation by the party in power has led many
to believe that he would stand by the Constitution,
be the consequences what they might. But he has
fatered. The authority to issue bills Of credit, and
make paper legal tender is not granted by the Con-
stitution, but prohibited in language sufficiently plain
to be understood by those who feel desire to keep it
sacred. However odious his plan may be, we be-
lieve it will not 60 down with the Wings. The
Democratic principle, Of repeal by any future Con-
gress as provided for in the plan, will meet with OPP
position from the Wings, and inspire the Democrats
with no little hope.
As the President belongs to neither Of the great
parties he has endeavored to build up one for himself
by avowing principles against which they both make
battle.

u By the Report of the Territorial Agent, Gen
Jesse Williams, it appears that up to this time, the
sales of lots in Iowa City amounts to s34 5sS W IL
of which amount Sl4,324 Sc remain unpaid and
are to become due. The unsold lots at the miu
mum price amount to Sl0s,369 90, which added TO
the notes due and to become due, gives the Capitol
resources to the amount of Sl22, 693 &c. The total
amount of receipts for the year ending on the LIST
inst. including loan of $500 90, is Sls,57O ST.
and the expenditures for the same time amount to
s22956 10. The report shows the precise condl
ton of all outstanding notes for lots sold. The Ter
itorial Agent recommends further reduction ofthe
price of lots, being convinced that without it the sales
Of the coming year will fall far short of the last.
