THE FATE of PRESIDENTS

Thomas Jefferson died poor. His fur
niture and his estates were sol to satisfy
bis creditors. His posterity was driven
from house and hope. and bis bones now
lie in soil owned by strangers. His
family are scattered, and many of his de-
scendants are both natives and citizens Of
foreign lands.
James Monroe, the amiable and patri-
otto Monroe, whose services were revoIu-
tionary, and whose blood was split in the
war Of Independence, whose life was worn
out in the public service. had his estate
sold from him for debt-his family scat
tered, and his daughter died in f,rcigl
and.
james Madison was model Of every
virtue, public and private. He WAS re-
markell for his love of order, LIS economy
and bis strict regularity in al his habits
of business; and yet, when he bad been
President eight years, ani WI, about TO
retire, he sent letter to Mr. Preston. en-
closing note for five thousand dollars
which he requested him to endorse and
raise money in Virginia. so as to enable
him to leave the Capitol and return his
modest retreat-his patriInonial inhcri-
lance in that State.
General Jackson, also, at the close Ct
his term of eight years. drew upon the
cons;gnce Of his cotton crop at New Or
leans for six thousand dollars, to ct1abic
him to leave the seat Of Government with
out leaving creditors behind bin.
The friends of General Harrison after
his death, asked and received from the
Government twenty five thousand dollars,
in order to square up the debts which he
was obliged to incur during bis race for
the Presidency.
And President Pierce, in order to keep
his expenses within his income, was known
to have lived very economically. So
much for the honor Of being President.
It is honor purchased at great expense,
the salary being insufficient TO meet the
expenses Of the most economical family
that has yet occupied the White House.

How Mattson Proposed to Produce
a Healthy Public Sentiment.

The Tariff Fraud Investigating Commit.
tee will be ready to report in about one
week. Mr.. Greeley. of the Tribune, testi-
fed before them that hr knew nothing about
the payment, or the promise to pay, any
money to anybody for the purpose of carry
ing the Tariff of 1857. MIR. Matteson was
called 10 testify, and declared that there wa:
not a word of truth in the statement sworr
to BY bir. Stone, that he (Matteson) advised
him (Stone) Ito pay Mr.. Greeley, of the
Tribune, the sum of $4,000. He acknowl
edged that he told Mr. Stone that it would
cost him a large sum (perhaps 500 ,000) tc
engage the influence Of the press, and pro-
duce a healthy public sentiment in favor o.
the proposed tariff, before Congress would
consent to ma Ike the law; that Congress al
ways looks to a public sentiment to sustain
it.
Mr.. George Ashmuu, ex-member oil Con-
gress from Massachusetts, testified to a fac,
before the Committee, this morning, which
tends to relieve Mr.. Wolcott somewhat
He stated he was employed as a counsel or
agent to present the views of the friends oil
the tariff to the members Of Congress, and
that he received from Mr.. Wolcott, for such
service, the sum of four thousand dollars!.l

W senator CRIrEHDEA, made a powerful
speech in the Senate on last Wednesday,

of the season. The position of Mr.. CRITEN-

Heretofore, he has remsined rather passive,
and the Slave party would fain have kept

characteristics it "a great Speech noble
s~peech-clear, logical, eloquent, denounc-
eng L~ecompton as a fraud, an imposition,
and an outrage; fraudulent in its cOncep-
tion; growth and f%rui,ion; a disgrace, an in

a style that spread terror among the opPosf'
ton ranks, the old master statesman raised
his manly form to its full hight and with
energy declared that as a Southerner. he
would resist to the last this aggression upon
the North, this ~tyrannicsl attempt to tramPle

PRODCCTIVENESS,

The yield is enormous. One of the edit.
ors of tho Nep York Tribune says: w re-
ceived a lew days since an invitation from
Mr.. George Seymour to wish his nursery
and view several acres in bearing. We ar
rived on the ground about 10 A. d., in COM
pany with a number of ladies' and gentle
men, who Immediately began to insinuste
themselves among the bushes, which were
standing very ,hickly. and all wei laden
with fruit. Astonishment seized the party
and while viewing the gorgeous display we
for a time forgot to taste the tempting ber-
res. The bushes had occupied this field
for two years, and were well supplied with
side shoots, all loaded with berries in every
stage, from the smu Hest green to the largest
ripe blackberry, anc they ,oere blackberries!
Those wonderful berries produced on the
mountain, or by the old stone wall on the
homestead farm, which produced so fine u
flavor in our youthful days, lost all the de-
liciousness ascribed to them by a lingering
memory when we had tasted a few of the
fully ripe New Rochelles. Shall we say
how many bushels OF fine fruit are taken
from an acre! We dare not. We had with
us several horticulturists whJ are engaged
IN supplying New York with fine fruits -
They counted The berries On several bushes

Religious II, .vivlls.

There was perhaps never . time in the
worlds history when there vas SO nniver
sal. and intense a feeling on the subject oi
Religion. Throughout this country par.
t~icularIy it is taking the lead of every thing
else. Accounts o! meetings for worship now
fills the prominent part of all our papers,
The New York journals have nearly dis
p n ed with police reports, and in their stead
have long accounts OF revival meetings.
Throughout the eastern cities the Churches
are open all day and evening, and nearly
always sled. Corner buildings that used to
be covered with theatre bills have nov cards
directing the people to this, that. and the
other place of worship. Even the theatre
is converted into a place of prayer. Though
out the great west, this religious regenera-
ton is going on to a remarkable extent.
TIE beauty Of all is, that it is not confined
to any sect; but on the contrary is doing
much to ~extinguish sectarian pr, judice, and
bigalry. In many places irrespective Of
church, the people meet in mass, throwing
aside all formalities, and unite as one man
to worship God. There are many ways by
which this general awakening is accounted
for, and while some are wrong, others doubt
less have had their weight; but be that as
it may the result is a triumphant victory OF
the Religion of Jesus Christ. Every one
who has the welfare al d Pc: manenihaPPines
of the human .ace at heart must r%ejuice IN
the success of the cause of religion through
out the country during the last year.

@When the bill for the admission oil
Kansas was drawn up MIR. BUCHANAN said
he would put i: through Congress before

have only to say, he had better say his pray
ers soon, for his time is almost out, and his
days are numbered else JAMES BUCHANAN
is no prophet. The prospects ,,of final sue
cess, for Lecompton begin to look scsly in

poets considerab y, and though not certain,
yet the chances are much better than they
were. We would not wish BUCHANAN to
