MIR. DoRR AND HIS FRIENDS.

Certain persons of the Polk party in Brad
ford County, Pennsylvania, have though
proper to hold meeting and appoint COM
mittee to address letter TO Mr. Van Buren,
and one to Col. r. Nj. Johnson, informing
those distinguished gentlemen of the fact that
such meeting was held. The pleasing intel
Hgence is also conveyed that the Democracy
Of Bradford are all sound in the faith and
Mr.. Van Buren, is told in the most congratu-
latory manner that the measures of his adj
minis.ration have been "gloriously confirm
ed'' by the election of Mr.. Polk. Nothing is
said of Annexation.
But the point of chief prominence in the
correspondence is in reference to Mr.. Dorr.
The Committee believe, and they are sure
olessrs. Van Buren, and Johnson will agree
with them, that in the election Of Polk and
Dallas, tine American people shave returned
verdict" in favour of Mr. Dorr.
1t might have occurred to the Committee
that the American people, in twenty-five out
OF The twenty-six States Of the Union, have
nothing to do with Mr.. Dorr. A Rhode Is-
land Jury returned verdict in his case some
time ago.
MIR. Van Buren, is very far from intimaiina
any thing like this in his reply. @Repeated
public avowals," he says. "of my own feel
lngs and opinions upon all the subjects en-
oraced IN your resolutions, including that of
the prosecuted Dorr, would render rcpe,i-
ton oil theia at this time superfluous' He
goes on 10 add that those opinions and feel
lngs arc every day strengthened and confirm
ed by ihe course Of events
The answer Of Col. johnson is more sIiE
fuse. lie refers TO the result of the late Pres.
idenlial election and says
"I'hat issue has vindicated and secured for
the present and for long time to comeLthe
sovereignty OF the States-personal liberty-the
reserved rights Of the people-a strict cons,ruc
uon OF the Federal consttntion-opposition To-
me assumption of State debts--oppostion TO 4
National Bank-opposition to the distribution Of
ihe proceeds o: the public lands--oppostion to
Internal improvements in the States by the Cen
eral Goverhment-opposito 10 the persecution and

may add, the preservation of the veto bower and

PRESERVATION OF IRoN.-As iron enters so ex-
tensively into the construction of nearly all the
implements of agriculture, as we'll as almost eve
ny tool used in the arts, the preservation of the
metal from tho injurious effects of rust or corro-
sion in water, has for long time received the at
tentlon of scientific and practical men. 1t was
found by experience, that the ordinary paints and
vafnIshes, gave only temporary preservation,
and when once the paint began to decay, it as
sisted rather than retarded the progress of decay
In the tenth volume of Reports Of the British AS
soclation is stated that by the direction of the
Association, DR.. Mallet, of Dublin, has superin-
tended series of experiments, in which every
kind OF paint. oil and varnsh, was applied TO ev-
cry kind of iron. immersed in every kind of run
nlng water, for two years, the results of which
prove that cold boiled tar, and laid on the iron

consequence, as iron vessels are so rapidly and
extensively coming into use.--Bosion CuEipdfor:

Norei application of The Water Cure.-priess-
nitz and his disciples have furnished us with ma
ny curious anecdotes of the wonderful effects of
water, but they have not, so far as we know, pre-
tended to cure matrimonial squabbles by tho APP
plcation Of their favori,e remedy. The following
story from Swiss journal, however, would seem
TO be indicative of power in The sclear, univer-
sal liquid that las been little thought of hither-
to. Every paper should copy it for the benefit of
the afflicted.

to see the fate of his fellow passengers, he dis
covered his wife still struggling for her life, but
IN Imminent danger A feeling Of his early af-

self into his arms. He embraced her with equal
cordiality, and they vowed an oblivion of all their
differences and that they would live and die to-
