The Hickory Club.-Owing 70 the alarm OF
fire, the Club on last Saturday evening was
rather slimly attended. The few Demo
Gratis present were addressed by DR.. Kagny.
He attempted to establish two poiuts,-that
the Wings never elected President by hon.
est means, and that the Locofoco party of
the Union was in favor of the Homestead
law. AS no undertook difficult job, we will
attribute the imperfections of his speech to
the weakness ofits foundation. i-'

ANEcDorK OF Scorr.-The following an
ecdote was related to writer in the Jersey
man, in a farmhouse located in Virginia,
during night spent there some six years
ago
"In December, III, towards the close Of
a dreary day, woman with an infant child
was discovered half buried in the snow, BY
u little Virginian, four years old. The lad
was returning from school, and hearing
means Of some one in distress, threw down
his sachel of books and repaired to the spot
from whence the sound proceeded, with a
irmness becoming one in ripper years. Ra-
king the snow from the benumbed body oI
the. mother. and using means to awaken her
to n sense of her deplorabie condition, the
noble youth succeeded in getting her upon
her feet; the infant, nesting on its moth
er's breast, looked towards their youthful
preserver and smiled, as it seemed, in graft
tude for its preservation, With connte-
nance full of hope, the gallant youth cheer
ed the sufferer on, himself bearing in his
tiny arms the infant child, while the mother
leaned for support upon the shoulder of her
little conductor. /" My home Is hard by,"
he would exclaim, as oft asher spirits failed
and thus, for three miles, did he cheer on
ward to happy haven the mother and child,
both OF whom otherwise must have perished,
had it not been for the humane feeling and
perseverance of this noble youth.
"a warm fire and kind attention soon re-
licved the sufferer, who, it appeared was in
search of her husband, an emigrant from
New Hampshire, a recent purchaser Of a
farm in the ueighborhood Of, near this
place. Diligent inquiry, for. several days
found him, and in five months after, the
Identica! house in which we are now setting
was erected and received the happy family.
The child grew up to manhood-entered the
army, lost a limb at New Orleans, but re-
turned to end his days in solaee to the de-
clinisg years of his aged parents. Where
are they now!' asked the narrator.
Z Here exclaimed the son, 8 am the res
cued one, and there is my mother, and here,
imprinted on my naked arm, is the name Of
the noble youth, our noble preseryer !"

PIERCE AND KING AGAINST THE Poor SET
TLERs.--On page 1919, of the Senate
Journals, Sd session 25th Congress, we find
that franklin Pierce and WIN. r. King
voted aguinst, and by their votes defeated
the following amendment to the bill proyid-
ing for the reduction and graduation of the
price Of public lands: sd. ia. ...,...~
."SEc.. 8. And be At further enacted, That
when any of the public lands Of the United
States have remained unsod for the space OF
fifteen years after the termination of the
public sales, the same may be entered and
purchased by actual settlers, on tho follow
ing terms and conditions, to wit:--If a set
tier is desirous to purchase for his residence
eighty, or less than eighty acres, he may en-.
ter and purchase the same at so cents per
acre" = 70 f''-'.
The proposition for the protection of the
poor settlers was rejectcd--yeas 81, nays 2s;
Pierce and King, present democratic candi-
dates for President and Vice President, vot-
ing in the negative, against Messrs. Clay
and Crittenden, of Kentucky, aud Foster, of
Tennessee, who supported the amendment.
If Pierce and King had voted for instead of
against the proposition for the benefit of
poor settlers, the result would have been pre-
cisely reversed--and the vote, instead Of be-
ing against it, 23 to 81, would have been joy.
t23 to 81. Such is the practical Democracy.
about which we hear so much seTf-vaunting
theoretical glorifcation.

To PREVENT PIrT1NG BY THE SMALL Pox.
Mr. Solon Robinson, in a communication
in the "Plough, Loom and Anvil" recon-
mends the following to prevent pitting by
the small pox:
"Get from the apothecary a little vial of
stuff called liquid cuticle,' and as soon as
the pustules are fully formed apply little
of the liquid with little brush or feather to
each one. AS fast as they get ripe, remove
the scab and wipe away the matter clean,
and apply the liquid again. If any of them
fill second time, you must remove the COW
ering and repeat the process. 1t will smart
like fun for moment, but, my word for il,
when you recover you shall not find mark
upon that pretty face of yours to prove you
ever had the disease. l am told the article
is made OF gun cotton, dissolved in chloro-
form. 1t forms an artificial skin over the
wound just as good as the real one."

( ORA goodaneedote is told us OF good
Wing in Montgomery county, which we
must relate. When scottwns nomin ated
he swore he would not vote for him. He
went to hear Col. Henry speak to the people
on the first Monday in July in Scott's favor,
He came out and said he would not vote for
Scott, but he would vote for his electors
very strong. A Democrat soon offered to
bet on Pierce, and the Wing took him up
and staked the money. That night his wife
had fine boy child, and he named him
Winfield Scott. Now, says our correspond
ent, did he not come out with rush. A
hcaty word should not bind a mans life n
gainst his deliberate judgment and feelings.

OLD MARYLAND,-The Rockville (Md.)
Journal says: "The Scott enthusiasm is
raging with perfect heat! In every State
of the Union tie Wing heart Is right-the
Whig cause is onward. Old Lundy's Lane,
who never sustained defeat, will bear the
Whig flag triumphantly through the contest.
Always a favorite with his soldiers, thou
sands Of those SCARED and weather-beaten
veterans of the Democratic party are now
shouting for their beloved old leader. From
Maine to California, the fame of the old hero
is familiarly known in every county, town
and hamlet. His humanity, benevolence,
and affection for his soldiers have been dis
played in every act of his life. His deyo-
ton to his country, upon whose battle-fields
he poured out his blood the many incalcu-
liable services he has rendered the nation in
peace as in war, have excited the love and
gratitude Of the American people; and they
are determined to reward him by electing
him the next President Of the United
States"

THE New York GERMANS For ScorT.--
Large numbers Of the Germans in New York
City who have heretofore voted with the De-
mocracy, are now out for Scott. Clubs
composed exclusively of German speaking
citizens have been formed in several wards
of the city, and have passed resolutions in
favor of the Wing ticket. That part of Gen.
Scott's letter of acceptance relative tc
lands for actual settlers is warmly approved
by them; and the advocacy of Protective
Tariff, and Harbor and River Improve
ments, by the Wing party, specially COM
mended and endorsed. They declare that
they have found that Democtacy is but a
name, and that the Wings nre the party who
really advocate measures that will give work
to the laborer, and land to the settler, devel-
ope the resources of the country, and pro.
tect them from the competition of labor
abroad, which staryes under the tyranny
from which they have iled.-Cin. Atlas.

TRADE BETWEEN BRAZIL AND THE UNI.
TED SrATEs.--A letter from Rio Janciro, in
the New York Times, draws attention to the
inequality Of the trabe between Brazil and
the United States. Our country takes of
Brazil one-half of its immense coffee crops
costing millions Ofdollars, all of which en-
ters our ports free of duty, Brazil, however
imposes duty of thirty per cent, upon the
flour from the United States, forty-five per
cent. On our furniture, one hundred and fifty
per cent. on carriages, and admits nothing
under thirty per cent. Mr.. Schenck, our
presnet minister to that country has en-
deavored to get these restrictions OH Ame-
rican commerce removed, but, 30 far, with
out teiicct. The correspondent of the Times
proposes as remedy, to restore equality of
trade, that the United States should put
duty upon coffee.

CHILDREN OF PRISONERS -" When was

into public prison and visited every part
of the establishment. AT last ] was intro
duced to very large hall, which was full of
children, with their books, and having the
appearance Of Prussian sehool-room.
What : said l. is it possible that all these
children are imprisoned here for crime +! ;
Oh no. said my conductor, smiling at my
simplicity ;'b but II a parent Is imprisoned
here for crime, and on that account his chill
drcn are left destitute Of the means of edu-
cation, und are liable to grow up in igno-
rance and crime, the government places
them here and maintains and educates them
for useful employments.' This was a new

"ExTRAvAsAxcE OF THE WING ADMINS
TRATroH. The LOcofoco magnstes, from
Ex-SeeretpIy Buchanan down to Senator
BOrAnd have had greas deal to say about
Wing extravagance, and the necessity of 9
change Of Administration in order to secure
a reduction of the National expenses. The
assertions Of these gentlemen were at the
time ably refuted by Wings on the floor oil
Congress and elswhefe. But arguments to
show the baseless character of these charg-
es were unnecessary, as the official figures
themselves do that and more. The Nation
al Intelligencer contains the important an
nouncement that the accounts of the past
fiscal year are made up, and that the expen
diture had been reduced to S45 1850, 900; and
of this sumS ,s67 $40 was for the redemption
of the public debt. The amount last year
was $48,O05 900, of which only $52l ass
was for redemption Of public debt. The re-
duction of the actual ordinary expenditure oi
the year ending June 80, 1862, compared
with that of 1851, has been S3,80l ,0o0.-
Since the present administration, came into
power there has been,redeemed ofthe public
debt 81 ,O0O, 900, due to Mexico, as the bal
ance ofindemnity for California, and % ,259,-
600 due. American citizens under the treaty
with that Government for spoliations. Up
on that portion of the debt, so extinguished
there has been paid $l,OOO,O00 in interest
equalto nearly $6OO,OoOper annum, which
will now no longer require to be paid. And
upon the entire debt left by Mr.. Polk and
| his Democratic supporters and allies, there
has been paid during the same time, $l4,.
$4,000 of interest. The surplus in the
Treasury is now just equal to the amount o.
debt extinguished; and if the laws under
which the Democratic borrowers saddlet
this debt upon the country admitted of it
that sum could be Immediately applied to'its
extinction, and we should next year have tc
pay 100000 less of interest than we shal
be compelled to pay under the operation o.
those laws.
! "This luminous expose" says the New
York Times, "shows that $lO,955 900 o
last years disbursements consisted of ex
penses directly growing out of the Mexicar
war, and left us as memento by our late
democratic rulers. In addition to this sum
ills made to appear that $S, 100000 of th,
aggregate expenditure consisted of item
which formed no part Of the annual expenses
Of Government during Mr.. Folks term o
office, and which are the consequences o
measures forced upon the country by him an,
his adherents. The deduction of these ex
traordnary charges reduces the current una
voidabe expenses of the Government, 70
which this administration is responsible, I,
%, ,343,9 ,965. This is about what tn ey woul,
have been had the Government been il
Whig hands since 1874, and what they will
be, at the present rate of reduction, if Gen
Scott be, elected. The choice between Gen
Scott and Gen. Pierce therefore would seen
to be between taxation oftwenty- eight an,
one offorty-eight millions of dollars wear.
