HAPPINESS OF PIGS.

The following is the conclusion of the learned and
philosophical report on Swine, by William Lincoln,
at the Agricultural Fair held at Albany, short time
since:
"Pigs are happy people We may talk disparag-
ingly about living like pig. To live like pig is to
live like gentleman. Although it is not permitted,
by the order of nature, that pig should laugh or
smile, he enjoys the next best blessing Of hui
mainly, the disposition to grow fat How easily he
goes through the world He has fancy stocks
to buy-no bank notes TO pay-no indignation meet
ings to attcnd-no log cabin assemblies TO hold He
has occasion to take the bcneft of the Bankrupt
Act, to have his estate conscated to defray the
expenses of the settlement. Free from all the trou-
bles that disturb the busy worldhe is unconcern-
cd among the changes OF earthly affairs, as was the
citizen who was walked in the earliest light of morn
ing, by being told day was breaking WE'LL said he,
as he turned again to his repose, let day break he
owes me nothing
When we look at the comparative condition of the
human race and Of the swnish multitude, we may
come to the conclusion that if man will not bc
man he bad better be pig"

THE ABDUCTION PLOT.

John H. Peasants formerly editor Of the Rich
mond Wing, some weeks ago published an account
of plot formed in Richmond, Va, during the last
Presidential canvass for the forcible abduction of
Mr.. Van Buren,, in the eventof his receiving major
y of the electoral votes at that election This dis
closure produced small excitement, and was pretty
severely commented upon by the democratic papers
throughout the country, and particularly by the Rich
mond Enquirer, edited by the veteran RItchie.-
Mr. Peasants has, since the publication OF his history
Of the plot, taken counsel of his "sober second
thought and, finding that the idea of kidnapping q
President elect does not obtain much favor among
honorable men of any party, he now comes out and
declares that the whole story is "hoax," as the
"decency" wings usually denominate lie, when told
by one of their own number. Verify, Mr. P. has
placed himself between the horns of most unplea-
SAINT and not very reputable dilemma, viz either the
story of the proposed abduction is true, and the Gre
spectacle gentlemen" connected with it are morally
guilty of an offence which, if committed would have
entitled them to a situation in the Penentiary, or
else Mr.. Peasants has been guilty Of telling, under
his own signature miserably silly and unnecessary
He-one, too, which he had not the leact temptation
to forge, since he could not have imagined that the
smallest advantage would accrue, either to himself

character 10 lose, should voluntarily publish himself

The Milledgeville Recorder (Clay Whig)
thus speaks of the Georgia Elections:

Sufficient official returns have been received, to
assure us of the fact that The Wings in Georgia have
been for this time, pretty essentially beaten. The
majority in the Legislature will be so marked, that
1t seems clear the people have determined to put an
and to all pretence for the prevailing fashion of par
ties of throwing the onus of bad government upon
each Others shoulders and that party shall, for
this time at least bear the whole responsibility of
whatever is done, be it right or be it wrong.
The Democratic party it seems will be very large
y the majority party in the Legislatures much so
that they have nothing to ask at the hands of the
Wings, for they do without them and ask them
Odds Since it has fallen out that the people Of
Georgia have for this time declined to entrust the
Wings with the conduct of their public interests,
rejoice that they have laced that trust in the hands
Of opponents by majority so large as to prevent
all possibility of mistake in regard to all that is to
take place.
