VOTE EARLY.

It's TO be presumed that every wing who
values the great principles which are at stake
i'm the election tomorrow who desires the re-
turn of prosperity to the State;who would pre-
vent the extension of slavery;wh would expel
a corrupt national administration from power,
and who would reform the government, will
devote his time aud exeitions TO the cause un-
til the closing of the polls. We expect this
much from all good citizens. because itSis a
duty which patriotism demands, and which
they owe to the welfare of society and TO thu
interest of our fir0sides. This duty may De
So discharged as TO become doubly Efficient
The first step towards its discharge, is TO vote
early; the next is to see that our neighbors and
friends have voted; and the last is to provide
every facility for keeping the avenues 10 the
polls open, and allowing voters the fair and
free opportunity of exercising the highest and
best privilege that belongs to the American
citizen. FHsl.

A PREDIcrIoN.-|ve. remember that some
Newspaper some twenty years ago predicted
that no man, whose name began with c,
would ever be President of1he United States
II really seems that there Is no luck In the let,

De Witt Clinton tried it, and was defeated
Crawford tied it and was defeated-Clay, tried
it with every prospect of success, and have
been almost nnaccountably defeated. Calhoun
has tried it on every tack, and has been defea

GEN. TAYLOR AS A WRTER.-u has been
remarked that Gen. Taylor's compositions are
model for the scholar as well as the man OF

Washington for their succipct, plain style, and
for containing everything that should be said,
without redundance or circQniiocuiion.-

OSThe citizens of Alexandria, lin Virginia

attached 20 the district of Columbia, which

largely in the majority in that city, which in

TnE AMBASSADOR AND THE CAEDiDATE.-
When Gen. Cass wrote his book Oh France, its
King and Court, however inclined he might
have been TO conciliate royal reader, he had
no disposition 10 traduce any portion Of his
own countrymen. The following passage oc-
ours in that work:
..In our political contest there are passions
enough awakened; but the struggles which
from time To time are carried on touch neither
the foundations OF our GorernmeHt, nor the in
stitutiOns of society; our parties all start from
the same point; all recognize the adoption OF
our political institutions to- our manners and
condition: and he would be bold politician
who should propose any fundamental change
| in the system we have adopted. But in
France there are many parties, each with mar
ked difference of opinion, from the extreme oil
uncontrolled monarchy TO tha. of the freest De-
| mOcrdcy." ..
We do not quote this passage for any pur
pose OF questioning its accuracy--for ii declares
a substantial fact and expresses ii very we'll.
Gen. Cass, however, has himself contradicted
it. The following paragraph is a part Of his
letter accepting the nomination of the Balti-
more Convention.
From the days of Gen. Hamilton to our
DAYS, the party opposed to US, of whose prin
Iciples be was The founder, while il has chan
ged its name. has preserved essentially It's
identity of character; AID the doubt he enter
tanned and thoaght.of the capacity of Nan tor
SELF government, has exerted marked infu-
ence upon its actions and opinions. Here is
the rery starting point of the difference of the
two great parties which divide cur county,
All other difference are but subordinate and
lauxiHary TO this, and may in fact be resolved
!, TO it,"
The allegation SET forth in this passage has
r been SO often repeated that some who have go
; into the habit of uitering it may possibly bt
iieve il Is true. Whether Gen. Cass believe:
}, it or not the two paragraphs quoted above, ia
ken together, may show perhaps 10 discrim
mating observer.

WHAT OUR FINE FRUITs HAVE SPRUNG FROM.
The Peach, originally, Wa, poisonous al
rnond. Its flesh parts were then used to pois-
on arrows, aud il was for this purpose intro
duced into Persia. The TRANSFORMING and cul-
tivation, however, not only removed its pois-
onous qualities, but produced the delicious
fruit We now enjoy.
The Nectarine aud Apricot are but natural
hybridatiohs between the peach and plum.
The Cherry was risinally a bery-like fruit,
and cultivation has given each berry stem,
and improve Its quality. The common MAJ.
gard is The original OF the most of the present
kind Of cherries.
The common wild pear is even inferior to
the choke pear, but still b. cultivation, il has
come TO rank among our finest fruits.
The cabbage originally came from Germany,
and is nothing more than the common sea kale.
Its cultivation has produced the presen t cal
bage, and its different acclimatings, the differ
ent kinds; while its hybridalions with Other
similar plants has produced the Cauliilower.
This shows the benefits of cultivation in the
Vegetable world; but the change which cult
vation has effected in the man is infinitely
greater. Agriculturist.
