The PRESIDENTS AND VICE PRESIDENTS OF TIL
UNITED STATEs.-FrankliD Pierce is the firs
democratic President ever elected from any O
the New England States, and is the third Chic
Magistrate that that section Of the country ha
given to the Union OF our Presidents, t,co-
John Adams and John Quincy Adamz-wer
residents of the State of Massachusetts, Fou
Presidents were residents of Virginia, viz Geo
Washington, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison
and James Monroe. Two-Andrew Jackson
and James K. Polk-came from the State of Ten
nessee, and another-Martin Van Buren-wa:
a resident of New York. VIM. H. Harrison wa:
elected from Ohio. and General Taylor from Lou
isiana.
Of the Vice Presidents, two were residents Of
Virginia, viz; Thomas Jefferson and John Tyler
Two were from husetts-John Adams
and EIbridge Gerry and five were from New
York, viz: Aaron Burr, George Clinton, Daniel
d. Tompkins, Martin Van Bu.en, ard Mlllard
Fillmore. One was from South CaSolina-.lohn
Z. Calhoun and another from PennsyiVenia-
George M. Dallas. The Vice President elect
William K. King, is from Alabama 1t will
thus be seen that Virginia has furnished the most
Presidents to the Union, and New York the
most Vice Presidents.
Three of the Vice Presidents were made Pres
idents, viz John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, and
Martin Van Buren, by the choice of the people
and two-John Tyler and Millard Fillmore
came to that Office by the death of the Presidents
with whom they were respectively associated
The two Presidents that died before their term
OF office expired were General Harrison and Gen
eral Taylor; the former within one month after
his Inauguration, and the latter little more
than year after. Vice Presidents George Clin-
ton, D. D. Tompkins, and Elbridge Gerry died
while in office, and two others, Aaron Burr and
John c. Calhoun, resigned that position before
their term expired by legal limitation The lat
ter Immediately became member of the United
States Senate, over which body he had presided |
as Vice President.
When Vice President Tyler became President |
by the death of Gen. Harrison, his office devol-
we'd on Samuel L. Southard, of New jersey,
President of the Senate, who died while he was
serving in that capacity and the Senate if we
recollect Alright chose w. P. Mangum his sue
cessor.
When Mr.. Fillmore became President by the
leath of General Taylor William R. King was
he President pro tenn. OF the Senate. and became
his successor in the vice presidential chair.-N.

estys Government, in the most friendly spirit,
that might lead to increased commercial relations
between the two governments. The spirit in
which the communications between the two
Governments were carried on was of the most
inendly character, and be thought the result
would prove very satisfactory, (hear, hear,) but
under the existing circumstances the House could
not expect that the Government would lay any
papers on the table.

Georgia beat that. At the late election
in Bulloch county, in this State, two hundred
and eighty seven votes were poIled for Pierce and
King, and not one for Scott and Graham. We
have indeed learned that one man presented
himself at the polls for the purpose of voting
the Scott ticket; but it being suggested that he
had once been an inmate of lunatic asy lum,
the election inspectors concluded that his sup
port OF the Seward candidate was evidence of
returning insanity, and on that ground refused

The Curculio--A Digcovery.

Much has been written on the Curculio-
many enquiries have been made as TO its habits

cry article seen for years back in agricultural
papers, and in large number of exchanges
recently for the remedy. but have found moth
ing that could be relied on.
Having some hne Plum trees, the fruit very
large redtish-purple variety, that have been
bearing some eight or ten years, and never
maturing dozen plums year, we have felt
much solicitude, and much anxiety to dscover
a remedy. We have tried many that have been
recommended, without success. Knowing that
trees standing in a hard trodden yard were
more apt to mature fruit than others difFere nt-
ly situated, we resolved last spring to make an
experiment. We therefore, before the trees
were in bloom, removed the soil, which was
thickly set in Bermuda grass, from around each
tree to the distance of five or six feet and the
depth of two or three inches-then builta chick
en- coop around each tree, and requested our
better half to have her chickens. &c, fed no
where else but in the coops, which has been
done consequently, ofchickens, ducks, turkeys
&C., one brood or another will be found under
the trees, waiting for their oft repeated meals
through the day, and ready to pick up every

Now mark the result our trees are breaking
