A correspondent calls our attention
to the following extract from a speech made
by Gen. PIERCE in the United States Senate.
in ls4l, on the subject of removals from Pub
lie Office; and suggests how admirable his
then profession squares with his practice in
1853, on the same subject.
"There is but one sensible, practical rule
upon this subject. II he discretion of the
office holders will not observe it, let hem feel
the effect Of it. 1t is this: When a public
officer neglects the duties of his office for t..
teal ends, or in any way abuses the trust
conhded TO him, 90 p. omote the object of a
party, he should be removed; and so far as |
know my party yielded to that principle their
cordial assent. But when you transcend this,
you assail the Public Officer in the free nd
unembarrassed exercise OF inalienable right,
secured to m by the constitution, as a man
and as a citizen"
We stood before the nation
and the world on the naked unqualified ground
that we preferred our friends to our opponents
That to confer place was our privilege, which
we chose to exercise. ought not to say we
cnose, SIR, for | will say what those friends
best acquainted with me knows-that there
was nothing in the administration Of General
Jackson which so uniformity failed to justify
as the removal OF one worthy officer to give
place to another

Cherries.

a, this is the particular season for cherries,
and they are now to be found in almost every
orchard and garden, all article on the sub
ject probably will net prove unreasonable in
itself. The better qualities of cherries are
truly among the most delicious of fruits,
more easily cultivated, or yields more GER
tain crops.
The Cherry was originally from Asia, and
was broa-ht into italy sixty-nine years be-
fore tire Christian Era. The seeds of the
cultivated Cherry were brought to America,
from England and Holland, seon after its
settlement. AS pleasant and refreshing
fruit, the early season at which it rpens, its
juiciness and delicacy make it general IA
vorite, Nor is man the only being which
enlertains this opinion, as is evnced by the
ravenous cravings of birds for this fFsit.
The Cherry tree is very luxuriont, and its
rapid growth, smooth bark, cleanness, natur-
al beauty of form, without the necessity OF
much pruning, render it the most desirable OF
all fruit trees for shade and ornament, and is,
therefore, chosen by farmers generally as a
shade tree. The larger growing sorts of the
black cherry form beautiful, spreading heads,
and attain the height of fifty or sixty feet.
Its early and beautiful blossom, its fruit being
the first in the season to rpen, with the ra-
pidity aud elegance of it's growth, should
make this tree supplant the awkward Syca.
more, and the filthy poplar as a shade. The
uristocratc and venerable elm, and the fresh
cheerful maple, we love to witness in parks
and public grounds; but around the farm
house and the villagers cottage, we wonld
see the cherry, the pear, peach and apple
shade, ornament and utility combined. The
cherry. besides its rapidity of growth, requires
little care, and from its hardness, fl ,urshe:
in almost any climate, howe, er rigorous. II
will thrive on dry, gravelly loan. If pla
ced in a very moist, and exceedingly rich
soil, it is comparatively short lived. To OBJ
tain the best fruit, deeu, mellow soil, Of
good quality, should be employed. In very
warm valley regions it should stand north o
mills, buildings or walls, to prevent it from
coming forth too early in the spring.

n+The peopIe of Henderson. Nv are

IThe people Of Henderson. KY, are be-
coming pretty thoroughly imbued with the
spirit of public improvements. We we're
informed few days since by one of it's pro-
ting of the Henderson and Nashville road a
new impetus has been manifest in business
matters as well as the feelings of the citizens
The new project Of the Henderson and Pa.
ducsh road is just the thing for them, and is
creating no little excitement all along the
line. The sturdy old Kentuckians are
thoroughly aroused from their "Trip Var
Wrinkle Sleep" and something is going to b;
done. They have got the "pewter" to DE-
IL with, too.

ga FIRST RATE NoTICE.'-We have read
a good many "frst rate notices." but the fol-
lowing from the Poughkeepsie American
rather takes down" any we have heretofore
seen:
"Rev. Mr.. King of New York, has been
attracted 10 our beautiful village, and may
hereafter every Sabbath be seen and heard by
our citizens at the Unversalist Church. His
sermons are bouyant, animated, lively: treat
ing Of love and peace-waftlng creezes Of
ecstatic bliss 20 willing recipients"
We presume that those who attend Mr.
Kings church are not bothered with having
to fan themselves in warm weather, being
able to keep themselves cool from the swat
ing breezes of Ecstatic bliss. "-[ Hudson Re

PRINTING Presses, PULrTs, AAp WOMEN.
These are the three great levers that gov
ern the world. Without them the button,
would TALL oui, and society become chaos
again. The press make people patriotic. the
pulpit religious, but women answer all things.
There would be no going to church it there
were no girls there, neither would there be
any going to war were the soldiers to meet
with no applause but from the masculines.-
Without the sunshine shed by women, the
rosebud of affection would never grow, nor
the flowers Of eloquence terminate. In
short, she is the steam engine Of life, the
g'eat motive power of love, valor, and civil.
cation. In proof of this great truth all his
tory speaks trumpet-topgued.

Thursday night he had symptoms of hydro

He was still alive on Saturday morning, but

Ssrnit Line Railroad.

A writer i'm tie State Journal signing him.
,f"Sou,h- Western" devotes some remarks
to the editor of the Evansville Journal IN re-
ply TO an editorial on the subject of the AR
Line Railroad. If we thought for moment
the ignorance he manifests on the subject OF
certain railroad matters, were not assumed
to cover a malicious disposition to injure GER
tain interests. we might as We Gid once De-
fore, endeavor to set Southwestern" right.
With the exception of one direct denial oil
an assertion, he does not touch as he cannot
refute, a single statement or argument IN
the article he attacks. His pretensioLs oil
friendly feeling toward Evansville, are as
empty and hollow, as are his endeavors to in
;ure her interests futile and ridiculous. -
When he points us TO 1.-the record of the past
to prove what he has done for our city, he
should at least let us have the benefit of his
real name as kind of finger-board to that
road. We say boldly and unequivocally, and
wish South Western" to apply the remark
to himself personally and emph atically, that
the man who after a full investigation OF
things apperraining to this Strait Line Rail-
road, takes up his pen in newspaper to op-
pose the enterprise, is an enemy to Evansville
and foe to her best interests. Ii he be not
ignorant, he must be malicious in such oppo.
sition.
"South- Western is either grossly deludir G
himself or vanly seeking to deceive others
when he talks of this project working Out
sits own dissolutic n" Never in the whole
railroad history of the West, has railroad
project been received with greater favor thar
this, or obtained at the start more liberal sub
scriptions of stock; and of all contemP aztec
improvements, not one in the West is more
certain to GO oil, promises to be better
paying stock when completed. "South
Western" and all other enemies Of the en-
terprise, can neither throw doubt upon THU
statement, nor retard the progress an iota o
that viii oh they would SO gladly injulre.--
The particular writer to whom we allude, ha.
rot the ability to defend good cause, much
less the power to injure one defended by Sc
much stronger men than himself.

MERCANTILE FAILULE.-The failure of a
house engaged in the clover speculations at
Philadelphia was announced on Change in
that city on Monday. The Ledger says:
The amount involved we have heard set
down at half million of dollars-but this
amount is probably considerably in excess of
real loss. The failure on Saturday, we learn
was on note of $4,000. The parties in the
combination, it is said, have shipped from
$4,000 to 10000 bushels of seed. The move
ment aimed to control the market, and whe n
nearly all the seed within reach was supposed
TO be in the bands of the parties concerned
in the speculation, the high prices at which
the article had been placed steadily drew on
the market additional lots of one, two and
three hundred bushels. The amount was
more than the parties could carry or desired
to carry, and of course the price of seed be-
gan to fall, and from eight dollars per bushel
has fallen to about four and half.

night before last to break into the store o
Colburn g. Hershberger, by prying open the
door fronting Main street. The burglars had
almost succeeded when they were alarmed by
one Of the proprietors who slept within, and
decamped. They left wedge sticking in
the door. An attempt was also made few
evenings since to enter the residence of one
of our citizens. These facts should place
citizens on their guard.
