Hon. Daniel Dickinson, of New York, is
the favorite of the New York HudS, it would
appear, as the Democratic candidate for
President. lie is well, and not unfavorably
known, as being opposed to the Free-soil pro-
c~livitics of the Sotts, another division of the
New York Democracy. Some think that
the bringing of his name forward, will ope-
rate against Gov. Wise's prospeets-but we
do not know how this will be. 1t seems to
us, that Gov. Wise, at this time, is the most
prominent man for the nomination at Char
lesion, if one should be made there. The
old feud in New York, neutralizes the par
ty action in that State, or renders 1t much
less potent than it was formerly.

Tue MYSTERY OF THE SEVEN DEAD BODIES.
The Mayor has ascertained to a certainty
that the bodies found in II box that ioated
ashore At West Farms, belonged to the old
Potters' Field. The box slipped overheard
from the steamboat en- route for the new Pot
tcrs' field, or what is termed the City Gene
terry" on Wards Island, and the pilot al
lowed it to float up the river to brighten the
good people Of Westminster county.
There was one little error in the first dis
covery, for besides the seven visible bodies,
there were supposed to be the remains Of
seven or eight more Of the pauper dead
The Coroner of Westchester only charged

The recent visit of the President, to North
Carolina, must have been every way agreea-
BILE to him. He was received and welcomed
every where, with the greatest kindness and
hospitality. There was nothing like parti-
zan feeling, or politics, as far as we have
seen, exhibited any where. The people
gre eted the President, as their Chief Magls-
trate, and as their honored guest, laying
aside all considerations connected with the
political questions of the day.

In view of an anticipated outbreak against
the laws, in Ohio, consequent upon the re-
cent judicial proceedings in the case of GER
tain persons convicted there, of an illegal
resistance to the Fugitive Slave Law, the
Attorney General of the United States,
wrote to the United States Marshal, of Ohio,
giving him directions how to act, in mainte-
nance of his proper authority in the premi-
ses. and concluding, by telling him, rs fol-
lows:
'If the State authorities should disregard
their duty to the Constitution and laws OF
the Union so entirely as to make an attack
upon you, do not forget, nor let your a>sls-
tants forget, that they who defend the law
are protected by the law. The a~ssaultlng
party must take all the consequences upon
their own heads. The moral rs well as the
physical power will be on your side
This is the proper language to be used
and the proper course to BIO pursued, in all
such cases. The Ohio agitatcrs have, thus
far, after many threats to the contrary,
succumbed.

The Home Squadron is still further to be
increased. The frigate Sabine, of fifty guns,
will soon proceed to the Gulf Of Mexico, and
there will then be ten vessels of war, with
an aggregate of 90 guns, in those waters.
As one vessel has already been ordered to
Tampico, to land marines and other forces if
necessary, to protect American citizens and
property, in the event of an assault by Mira
mon on that city, the impression prevails
that a similar course will be pursued at 9TH
or points. wherever such intervention may
be required by American interests. 1t may
not be generally known that the sailors are
constantly drilled in the practice of small
arms as well as ordnance, and the latter can
be used on land, as carriages are provided
for their use in such an emergency.

How TO SAVE BLOSSOMS FROM BLIGHT
The paragraph below we find in an exchange,
without credit. 1t may prove valuable to growers
of fruit trees:
'tIn this latitude it is we'll known by pomolo-
gsts that soon the frost is out of the ground
in the Springs, the sap begins to ascend into the
body and limbs of trees, the buds swell, the leaves
start and the blossoms soon appear And it is
well known, too, in some seasons, the buds are
much damaged, or the blossoms are entirely
blghted by the severe cold and frosty nights that
follow. In conversation recently with practical
promologst, who has been eminenty successful in
raising all kinds of fruit trees-particuary plums
peaches and cherr,es-he informed us that the
great secret of his success was, in keeping the
frost in the ground until the dangerous nights had
passed, by early spreading over the surface of the
ground above the roots, of sufficient depth, straw,
manure, any kind of compost; that in some
seasons he had his neighbors trees in full
bloom, even before he removed his surface cover
ing, and the result proved that while not unfre-
quently the frosty nights fatal to his neigh
bors' crops, his own trees, blossoming out late,
were always sure to yield him an abundant harvest.

WOMAN'S HEART.

The sigh which breaks no rest,
Though bright or sad, but ill bespeak
The feelings of her breast.
They may some anxious thong hit impart;
But those who've most relied,
Know not the love of woman's heart,
Until that heart be tried.
There may, in her uncertain smile,
Some token be of grief
Some impulse, which may for awhile,
In sorrow seek relief.
But those who most have watch'd the part
Portrayal by hope, or pride,
Know least the love of womans heart,
Until that heart be TRIED. T. NJ.
