HOGS-THEP PRICES.

We have taken some pains this week to furnish
our readers with the prices ofhogs from all parts
of the country. Read the following:
Hogs--Prices, dc.-The market continues to
be muehstimulated, and the prices of hogs and
their product continues to advance. Yesterday
81 30 gross was offered for large lot of hog il.
Shelby county, and the current price here is So
rs to So So net. All the city packers are in
operation, and the number of hogs slaughtered
up to last evening was about $4,000. " heard
Of a sale yesterday of 900 barrels of mess pork
at $l6, and 900 barrels prime lard at 10 cents
Last evening lot of $40 heavy hogs, sold at
cents. Considerable sales of green meats,
from the block were sold at an advance on previ-
GUS quotations.
BY our Cincinnati adviceS we learn that hogs
are now higher than ever before at the COM
mencement of the packing season. There is a
continued demand East for the New York mar
ket and at points on the railway cents is paid.
They are now, we believe, chiefly taken on,
dressed, in which shape they are worth to s
cents in New York
The number of hogs received at Cincinnati to
Tuesday evening, was 53,763, of which number
upwards Of 10000 were driven from Kentucky.

Executive Potcer.-What would be said OF
Mr.. Fillmore, were hesecretly to empower Com
modore Perry to negotiate with the Emperor of
Japan for the purchase of that island forthe sum
of five hundred millions of dollars, without Civ.
ing the slightest hint to Congress, or to the peo-
pie, of his intentions? Yet, if Mr.. Polk was
right in this Spanish matter, Mr. Fillmore would
be equally so in the other. The truth is the
Presidency of the United States, under Democrat
ic constructions and assumptions, is rapidly out
growing its Constitutional limits 1t is absorb
ing with fearful rapidity the functions of eo-or-
dinate branches, and if some check is not inter
posed by the people, there will be empower felt in
the Government but the Presidents. The in
fuences ofexecutive patronage are already soen-
larged by p.ecedents, that Chief Magistrate,
who may be disposed hereafter to disregard the
restraints which have been wisely imposed up
on the Office, will find but little difficulty in rem
dering his own will supreme.--Pefers Int

ignorant to join in his scheme of personal ambi-
ton or revenge under the false and delusve preence
of extending the of freedom. These reprehen
sbe aggressons but retard the true progress of
nation and tarnish its fair fame. They should,
therefore, receive the indignant rowns of every good
citizen who sincerely loves his country and takes
pride in its prosperity and honor.
Our Constitution, though not very perfect, is doubt
less the best that ever was formed. Therefore let
every proposition to change it be well weighed, and
if found beneficial, cautiously adopted. Every pat
riot win rejoice see its authority excrted as to
advance the prosperity and honor of the nation,
whilst he viii watch with jealously any attempt to
mutilate this charter of liberties, pervert its
powers to acts of aggression or injustice Thus shall
conservativism and progress blend their harmonious
action preserving the form and spirit of the Consti
tuition, and at the time carry forward the great
improvements of the country with q rapdity and
energy which freemen only can display.
CONCLUSION.
In closing this, my last annual communication,
permit me, fellow-citizens, to congratulate you on
the prosperous condition of our beloved country
Abroad its relations with all foreign powers are
frendly its rights are respected. and its high place
in the family of nations cheerfully recognized. At
home we enjoy an amount of happiness public and
private which has probably fallen to the lot OF
any other people. Besides affordng to own eiti-
zens degree of prosperity, of which so large
SCALE know of other instance, our country is an
nualy affording a refuge and home to mutltudes,
altogether without example, from the Old World:
We owe these blessings, under Heaven, to the hap
by Constitution and Government which were be-
queathed to us by fathers, and which it is our
sacred duty 70 transmit in all their integrity to our
children. We must all consider it great distinction
and privilege TO have been chosen by the people to
bear part in the administration of such Govern
ment. Called by On unexpected dispensation to its
highest trust at of embarrassment and alarm,
entered upon its arduous duties with extreme diff
dence. 1 claim only to have discharged them to
the best of an humble ability, with single eye to
the public good and it is with devout gratitude, in
retiring from Office, that 1 leave the country ina
state of peace and prosperity.

pa We notice that our contemporary of the
Chattanooga Gazette, has "broke the ice" on
the subject of our next Congressional elections,
and suggested the name of DR.. GILLESPIE, as
suitable person to lead the Wing column in
this District, next summer. We have no doubt
that the Doctor could be elected if he were the
candidate. Nor have we any other good Wing
who can be defeated in this District if We all do
our duty. We have meritorious young man in
''these diggins' who would be invineible before
the people. We mean GEORGE BEowN, ESQ,
of Monroe, thelate energetic and popular Wing
Elector for this District. Mr.. Brown labored
hard and indefatigably during the late contest as
he has done heretofore in the Wing cause, and
we would feel highly gratifed to see him placed
in position Of trustand emolument. Wethrow
out thissuggestion without the consent orknowl-
edge of Mr.. Brown, and simply because we be-
live that he is the man above all others in the
District, that should receive the vote OF the Wing
party next August
