least of all, should have been guilty of
building up prejudice against the in
coming Administration. Claiming to
have been Wing of the Webster
school, and to have so continued until
the proper time for turning, has he for
gotten that the illustrious dead said in
his reply to Mr.. Hayne on the Foot
Resolution! Or has he become SO
bluntcd by subscvicncy to the present
| Administration that he differs with that
able cxpoundcr of Constitutional law
in the doctrines of his ever memorable
reply TO Mr.. Calhoun, where he SO con-
clu>ivcly shows that secession cannot be
pcaccable, but that it is one and the
same with notification, it is treason, it
is revolution, it is open war against the
Union of States?
We protest against men of standing

RELICS OF THE PAsT.-Mr. Horn
back has shown us some old papers
which we deem to be literary curiosi-
ties. One is Il copy of the Brattlcboro'
Reporter, published at }rattlcboro, ,
Vermont, in 1904. 1t is printed on
paper of course texture, which is brown
from age. The typography differs but
little from that of later date, with the
cxceptionsot 'hc longs and the old style
of letters. The other is headed the
marlborough Messenger, or Farmers
and Mechanics Journal, published in
1927. We may take occasion to make
extracts from these relics of the past
when our space will permit.
SOME PuMrKlNs.-Through the kind
ness Of Elwood Evans, Esq, Il slice of
the mammoth pumpkin, has been placed
upon our table, the sight of which caused
visions of numberless pies to rise before
our cnraptured vision. This huge pro-
duction of nature, which was grown in
Mr.. Evans garden, in this city, meas
urcd G3 inches in circumference and
weighed 14O pounds. The thickness of
the pulp was nearly four inches.
ES1y~ Our thanks are again due tic
gentlemanly officers of the steamer
Elk" anderson, for the curly delivery
of files Of down-sound papers. On Fri
day morning at two o'clock, we were
awakened by miniature thunderstorm
at our front door by those "wi;lc awake"
gentlemen. Capt. Fleming, and Vim.
l.. Clancy, Esq, are just tho men for
the positions they hold.
THAT BEATS ALL 1t will he shown
what singular fancies govern the ladies
when we acknowledge the receipt OF a
sack-containing bccts and cabbages,
from a lady friend in the country; also
