HoGs-SLAuGHTERrNG- &c-The
change of the weather, from warm to cold
Thursday, induced the pork packers to COM
menee Operations, and during Thursday and
Friday about 10000 hogs were slaughtered at
the various pork houses-a'l being in Opera
ton. At Jackson, Hull & Co.'s immense
packing house SOLO large hogs were killed
and huag up yesterday-the largest days
work ever done. The pens are all full. with
receipts Of 5000 by the railroad last night.
The market continues quiet with no sales,
as buyers are holding off and holders are hold
ing on and farmers are now determined to
pack oh their own account. The prices Of
fered are to Al cents nett. At Cincinnati
yesterday few sales were made at II cents
for hogs.

" An immense amount of produce will
pass out of the Wabash this season. The
river will soon be in navigable condition,
we presume, although the last reports give
bat 10 inches water at different neighboring
points, after q little freshet. Notwithstan.
ding the railroads above, we look for a much
greater amount Of produce coming down the
Wabash this season than ever before. II the
Wabash does not get very high and keep SO,
as it cid last winter, permitting the larger
steamers to 60 up and take freight direct to
New Orleans, we shall have busy time at

The harmony existing among our Demo.
cratic contemporaries is really delightful. 1t
is quite refreshing TO observe the qualification
they take in punching, gouging and scratch
ing each other. Our neighbor occasionally
gets his hair pulled awfuliy by some Locofo-
CO editor, so that he mist have an exblerat-
ing idea himself of the harmony OF which
we speak. The Louisville Times "wools"
our neighbor, but in very genteel Style
Speaking of the editor of the Enquirer, the
Times says:
When he shall have arrived at the years OF
discretion, he may ascertain that nc mas not
vet quite bottled up all the wisdom and pres
cience of the 18th century. Mems vanity
sometimes deceives them, ard it may be that
he has been so blinded by il as to be able to
see no farther than mole, although he may
imagine. in his concentrated self-conceit, that
he has surveyed the whole expanse of the
present and the future.
We fear our neghbor will never arrive at
the years ofdiscretion, therefore we presume
he may never ascertain the fact, that "he
has not yet quite bottled up all the wisdom
and prescience of the 18th century" He
has bottled up in himself good deal Of Lo-
cofocoism, but many Of his Locofoco breth.
rem here think it not exactly of the right
quality-it lacks spirit or fire, is fat and stale
indeed there is no use wiring down the
cork, for it can't make. a decent plug any
how. To imagine, however, as the Times
seems to, that our remarkable neighbor has
not surveyed the whole expanse of the pre-
sent and the future, SO far as politics are con
cerned, Is not to give him credit for what h
knows is fact. We only regret that HI
does not use his knowledge to better advan
tage.

MES, we have very little reason to be distrust-
full On the contrary, we are somewhat con-
fdent that General Pierce has marked out as
his line Of action the most liberal programme
of neighborly reciprocity. five are not widely
mistaken, he will prove himself to be fully up
to the free trade tendencies of these times, and
by no means inaexibly opposed to the perma-
nent settlement Of the fishery question upon the
broadest free trade basis with the colonies
And here, would our space permit we might
proceed to some statistics and arguments in
support of this policy. Suffice it for the present
to say that a judicious schedule of enlarged re-
ciprocal free trade with the British provinces
would instantly throw an immense amount of
additional traffic upon our railroads and canals;
and that if particular interests were to suffer
from the cheapening Of breadstuffs, beet, NUT
ton, lumber, and other articles Of home con-
sumption, the masses of the community would
be correspondingly benefited from the increase
of these supplies. And it is in this light, of the
largest benefit to the greatest number, that we
believe the subject is regarded by, and will be
treated under, the auspices Of Gen. Pierce.
How the fishery question proper now stands
exactly we are not apprised. Wepresume it re-
mains where Mr.. Webster left 1.-THE temporary
negotiations of Mr.. Everett on the subject hav
ing been dropped by the Senate. AT all events,
there's o sufficient margin for broad and COM
prehensive treaty, embracing the fisheries and
reciprocal free trade; and from all that has
been ascertaned we have no reason to fear that
Gen. Pierce is in this matter behind the spirit
of the age. We have an abiding hope that his
settlement of this business will be feather in
the cap of his administration. Is the Premier
ready?
