Parody on the Declaration of Independepr

The Salisbury (N. CO. Waterman tell:
story of tavern keeper, who, having
grown rich, grew very careless; aud SC
offended the lawyers by whom his house
had been filed, that, during one crowded
session Of the court, they with one accorc
;orsook him, leaving behind them the fol
lowing parody Oh the Declaration of hide
pendence:
"When in the course Of human events il
becomes necessary for half-hungry, half
fed, imposed on set Of men, to dissolve the
bands Of landlord and boarder, a dccen
respect for the opinion of mankind requires
that they should declare the causes which
have impeIled Them to the separation
"We hold these truths to be self evident
that all men are created with mouths and
stomachs and they are endowed by their
Creator with certain inalienable rights
among which are, that no man should be
compelled TO sarve, oat of mere compliance
to a landlord. and that every man has a
right to fill his stomach and wet his whis-
tie with the best that's going.
" The history of the present landlord of
the White Lion is history of repeated in
suits, exactions and injuries, all having in
direct object the establishment OF absolute
tyranny over our stomachs and throa,s -
TO prove this, lei facts be submitted to a
candid world.
",e has refused TO keep any thing to
drink but bdld-faced whiskey.
ale has refused to set upon his table,
for dinner, any thing but turnip soup, with
a little tough beef and sour circuit, which are
not wholesome and necessary for the pub
lie good.
6. He has refused TO let his only servant,
blink keyed Joe put more than six grains
Of coffee to one gallon of water.
"He has turned loose multitude OF
mosquitoes to assail us in the peaceful
hours Of the night, and eat our substance.
81 He has kept up, in our beds and bed
steads, standing armies of mercless sava-
ges. whose rule Of warfare is undislin-
guishcc destruction.
s.He has excited domestic instruction
among US, by taking bit;ers before break
fast, and making his wife and servant do
The same before dinner, whereby there is
often the very deuce 10 pay.
.sHe has waged cruel war against nature
herself, by feeding our horses with broom
straw. and carrying them off to drink where
swine refused to wallow.
"He has protected one-eyed Joe in his
vilianny, in the robbery Of our jugs, by
pretending TO give him mock trial, after
sharing with him the spoil.
'.He has cut off our trade with foreign
ports, and brought in his own bald-faced
whiskey. when we had sent him TO buy
better liquor abroad; and, with perfid.
scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous
ages, he has been known to drink our for
eign spirits, and fill up our bottles with his
own dire potions.

The MANNER of the RESIDENTIAL
ELECTION.

We presume that we do no injustice
wheE we hazard the opinion that many OF
readers are unacquainted with the entire
moduS operandi through which the Presi.
dent and Vice President Of the United
States are chosen; with the provisions
made in regard to tie vote. &c. AS it is
important that every one should be wellin
formed OH matters Of such general interest
we present the following 10 our readers the
risk Of imparting to many of them no more
information on the sal Ject Than they al.
ready possess.
The manner of choosing the President is
as follows:-
Each state appoints, after the manner
prescribed By lis Legislature, number oil
electors equal to its representation in the
two houses Of Congress. No senator OF
representative, or person holding any Of
flee under the United States is eligible rs
one of these electors. The method of their
appointment is not designated by the con-
stitntion, but the system adopted through
out the United States, exceptin South Car
DINA. where the Legislature elects them,
j. by general ticket. An act Of Congress
requires tina, they shall be appointed with
in thirty-four days of the first Wednesday
in December Of every fourth year sue
ceeding the last presidential election.
The number of the electors at the last
previous pres dental election was 294.
The number under the present apporlion-
ment is 215.
The electors for the several states are
to meet on the first Wednesday in Decem-
Der, at places designated in their respective
states by the legislature, ana proceed 10
ballot on separate tickets for President and
Vice President. One at least of the per-
sons voted for must be a resident of state
other than that in which the electors reside.
The electors are required to make and sign
three certificates. each stating the number
OF votes given bv them, and on distinc: lists
the number of votes for President and Vice
President, and for whom east. Each GER
,i6cate is 10 De sealed and endorsed, that il
contains the vote of such state for Presi-
dent and Vice President. and annexed TO il
a certified list OF the electors of the state.
All are 10 be addressed to the President OF
the Senate.
One - these certificates is 10 be carried
to its destination by person appointed by
the electors. or a majority o. them, in wri-
ling, for which service he is to be allowed
% cents per mile for his expenses going

Effects of Vibration of Ir0n.-About ~

years since, dreadful accident happened
on one of the railroads between Paris anc
Versailles. One Of the iron wheels or AK
les OF either the foremost car or engine
broke, the long train Of cars that followed
were piled up together upon the furnace Of
the engine; they took fire and dreadful
scene ensued ihe doors being locked, the
passengers could not Immediately escape
and great numbers were burnt to DEATH
An Investigation mo the cause Of the dis
aster took place, and the result was, thai
the Academy Of Science Of France an.
nounced to the world great discovery, in
regard to the properties Of Iron, Of prin-
cple hitherto unknown, but knowledge
of which was of the utmost importance 10
the world. The principle was as follows
Iron, however tough originally, loses It's
tenacty by long continued vibration or ra-
pid Jaring, becomes brittle, and finally
breaks. when perhaps it has not oEe-tenth
of the strain upon it which ii has borne for
months or years. This was announced as
a new discovery, but it was no such thing:
still the endorsement and PRONUNCIATION OF
this principle by The Academy Of Sciences
were calculated to give il general publicity
and. after that, il might be expected thai
all dealers and workers in iron, as applied
TO important arts, would have recognized
il as an established principle and govern
themselves accordingly.
Railroad cars are generally provided
with three or four axles, so that the break
ing of n wheel or axle is OF little or no con-
sequence.
Bat it has been long known, perhaps
ever since cannon were manufactured OF
iron, that conclusion produced the same
effect that is now declared a new discovery,
to be the result of vibration. Cannon OF
medium size, say, "a FOUNDERS, are not
considered safe after having been fred with
ball one thousand times with powder only
the effect is very much less, and in fact
has never been computed Cannon are
often ruined by testing their strength, al
though they stand The test. Perhaps the
very next time they are fired with an ord-
nary charge they explode, from the very
effects of the test that was TO prove them
trustworthy. This truth is so we'll known
that it has become common TO test only one
cannon out of fifty, all beng made out OF
The same kind Of iron, and alike in every
particular. A gun is taken at random
from the lot, and tested in the severesi
manner until it bursts. BY this the strength
of the others is measured.
With regard to vibration on iron. that
too has been long known 10 prvste indivi-
duals, who supposed that all the world was
aware of it, though it seems ii did not
Thirty years ago the late George Shines,
Esq, Of Portsmouth, was acquainted with
the fact, from his own personal experience,
and stated it TO a gentleman now living
here, as clearly as the Academy of Scien-
ces stated ii at q quarter of century after,
He found The toughest of iron would grow
brittle, and break with very slight weight
