MILES JOHNSON.

Read the "Declaration of Independence" in
which MILES JOHNSON takes occasion to hint at
the stock of saddles, harness and &c., kept con-
stantly on hands at his Factory above WE1KERT
& WALKERS New Carriage Shop. 1t is the pecu-
liar characteristic of JoHysoN's genius that he
gives his saddles sprnginess and elasticity which
completely counteracts the disastrous effects Of
poor hard trotting horses. Besides, they are so
adjusted to the vertebrate Of the animal that he
moves with gracefulness and ease unknown to
any Bonaparte since the fal of the great Corsi-
can. There is undoubtedly as much science in
making saddle as in cooking beef steak. In
fact, in some countries, equestrianism and cuisine,
are closely connected. Some of the Eastern tribes
cook their beef steak by placing it between the
saddle and the horse, so that ut the journeys end,
their supper is ready for mastication But the
object aimed at in this country, is to keep from
cooking the horse and rider. On this subject
MILES JOHNSON has expended much thought, and
the result is that lie con furnish the cheapest,
springiest saddle to be found in Yorkville, any
where else.

and contrary interests. And this is another reason
in favor of our remedy-for there is no other one
which will meet it completely and successfully
Once divided and it will be to the interest Of the
South to trade with the North, and the latter will
be compelled to give us her trade in manner
sanctioned by justice and equity. We do not be-
lieve there is any other remedy-we have no
faith in the craftsmanship which points the South
in any other direction and we think it but justice
to ourselves, honorable to our fOrefathers, and
advantageous to posterity, to bring about this is
sue now when we are able to effect it, peaceably
and successfully.

DOaOLO9Y,


Assrs. Editors Il have been scared half to
death for the last few days from the announcement
that the streets of Yorkville were thronged With
rabid animals, of the canine family. In fact,
saw most awful dog-6ght the other day, but
did not dream that they were mad, i. e., affected
with hydrophobia.
There are only few things that "movs and live,
and have their being" on terra Jfrma, Of which
can say that am truly afraid but always hcpe,
and always ,rW succumb to the 'deceitful" SER
pent and the rabid dog.
"Mad dogw Why, the thought has almost
thrown me into spasms, and am not sure that
shall be able to proceed, unless m ant-spssmodic
is administered. However, Twill recommend the
appointment of committee, consisting Of f"three,
FIVE, seven or more" whose duty it shall be to in
yestigate this matter, radically, and recommend
such shields, precautions and defences for the f-
ture protection Of our hesrths and homes, and
fires and families as 'their honors" may deem
expedient in the premises. .,<.-
do not wish to influence the action of the above
committee, but will suggest the propriety Of the
passage of an ordinance to the effect that no per-
son shall keep dog,-they should be allowed one
without paying such a tax as the Town Council in
its wisdom, may think proper to assess.
Now this whole dog .matteal affair may be moth
ing more than hoax, intended merely to furnish
theme for toHa-tattle, and to prevent the do no
thing tribe from snooaing off these languid summer
evenings. But this fact is very plain, and think
your bosoms will respond to the assertion, that
there are too many dogs in to,rn admitting the
plea that they al all in good hunour.
In conclusion, I will remark that the town Of
Yorkville is now decidedly anti.dog, and that our
denizens will warmly respond to any action, the
tendency Of which is to create q paueity.

most gallant, and independent statesman, Hon. l..
NJ. KE1rT. The Cheraw Gazette thus sketches
his opinion on this point; given in his recent
speech to the citizens of Cheraw:
SHE discussed the Kansas question-presented
it in its many phases, and expressed his apprehen-
sions of the portentous struggle of Northern fan
aticism, aided by Southern treason, to crush out
the rights of the South in that Territory. He ex-
pressed his want Of confidence in Walker and
Stanton, both of whom he denounced as unprinci-
pled trading politicians, who were ready to sell
the shareholders interest in Kansas for price
He spoke of the National Democratic party-of
its want of principle, and its readiness ut all times
to sell the South at any price which would secure
to it's leaders the glorious spois of victory. He
said that it was this party that had, time and a.
gain robbed the South by tariff e1actons-had
shorn her of her rights in the Territory OF Cali
fornia-aud, by advice of Walker, had robbed her
of portion of Texas to make it free soil-expres-
sed his fears that the same party would force the
STAKEHOLDER out of Kansas, and make that free
soil State. He said he went with the Democratic
party, but was not of it"
With this view of our prospects before us-of
the different e1pedients on which We are to de-
pend for ultimate safety-are we not fully impress
sed with the belief that "half measures are no
measures 90 There is only one plan which has
