WASHINGTON, Dee. 26, 1859.
The President S Message.

We have read this document with the most
pleasurabIe sensations at the idea that it is the
last annual inflction. save one, Mr. Buchanan
can best)w upon the country Th r. is mol
ing new in its topics, ennobling in its senti-
ments, or patriotic in its impu lses He talks
of the inestimable value of the Union, which
he has done so much to demoraize and dis
grace. lie congratulates the country upon
the fhal settlement of the question of slavery
by the Supreme Court when he knows that
there is barely corporals guard of his party
from the North reelected to Congress who
do not scout the idea of such a settlement; and
accuse him of interpolating this new plank of
the political creed from personal malgnity to
Senator Douglas. He says all lawful means
at his command have been employed to exc
cute the laws against the African slave trade.
when it is patent that his officials have inter
posed obstacles to their execution. He gives
no satisfactory information concerning Mexi-
can affairs, but desires to be clothed with plen
ary powers to interfere in the intestine broils
of that Inflated Republic, under rretense Of
enforcing our treaty rights; and he talks against
measures Of policy or the ground that they
would increase the patronage of the Executive
to a dangerous extent, and foster a system OF
jobbing and corruption which no vigilance on
the part of the federal official could prevent,
when ''from the byways and highways of the
government the rottenness of corruption sends
forth an insufferable stencil" until his own De-
mocratic allies have asked "Why are the peo
pie so patient? Why slumberS the indigna-
tior. of the Democracy ?"
The third annual message of the last of the
jackson line of Democratic Presidents is be-
fore the country. We shall again aud again
have OCCASION to refer to it. There are some
positions assumed in it to which we assent,
but they have been taken for the purpose of
private ambition or party success, after hav-
ing been in a measure forced upon his Admin
istration. While, therefore, we agree with
some of his views and recommendations, there
is such chill produced by his insincerity, and
such contempt for his bold partizan bid
made for a denomination, that are almost
inclined to surrender our convictions of right
and proclaim ourselves mistaken, when we
find that we must agree with him on one or
two subjects of national importance.-Louis-
nile T0Urndl

But not a single Republican
These Disunionists have been rebuked b,
the Republican members. But their Demo

condemnation of their traitorous sentiments
On the contrary, they applaud and encourag
them. -44

they lavish censure on men who have been 10y

our oF-nooR ExERcIsE.

There is probably not another people to be
found, that take so little exercise out of doors,
as those living in cities and large towns of the
Northern States This indoor confinement is
the direct occasion Of two great evils impair
ed health and destruction of vivacity. To
be heaIthful, much time must be passed in sun
light. where oxygen may be inhaled without
stint. Stay in the house, shop, store, Office,
study, sanctum, or other confinement, where
carbonc acid gas and other impurities are
breathed again and again, and it would be ex-
traordinary if such persons always maintained
cheerful spirits, and enjoyed good health.
Among the Germans in tatherland, land it
may be true of them here) their constant cheer,
fulnes and gaiety would be marvel to sour and
grumbfing people, out of health and out of
spirits Early in the morning, from four
o'clock until ten in the evening, the thorough
fares in and about the cities Of Germany are

wnarruAL1AN HAMS.

The justly celebrated Westphalian hams are
cured in pickle prepared as follows -.Hi'i
Boil together over gentle fire six podnds Of
good common salt, two pounds of powdered
loaf sugar, three ounces of saltpetre, and three
gallons of spring water. Skim it while 5oil-
ing, and when quite cod, pour it over the hams,
every part of which must be covered with the
brine Hams intended for smoking, viii boz
sufficiently saited in this brine in two weel0ss
though if very large, more time may be allew-f
ed. This pickle may be used repeatedly, life
boiled, and fresh ingredients added. Hams,
before they are put in the pickle, should be 9
soaked IN water, all the blood pressed out, and
wiped dry. Much of the excellence of the ham
/ is depending on the smoking, This should
be done in such manner that the ham shall
be cool and perfectly dry throughout the whole
operation. If too nea the fire, they will DO
heated, and their flavor injured; if the build
ing be too close, the hams will be wet, and
taste as if dipped in pyroigneous acid. At
Hamburg where large quantities are prepared.
the hams are smoked in the upper story OF
high buildings while the fires, which are made
of oak or maple chips, are made in the cellars.
In passing through such length of pipe. to
the chambers, the smoke becomes cool and
dry; and the flavor of the hams is excellent.
Hams intended for summer use, may be kept
in any way where they will he dry and cool,
and secure from the fly or bug. Washing with
lime or putting in bags of coarse cloth, one
ham in each, is practiced by many. Some
keep their hams through the season in the
smoke house. making a smoke under them once
or twice week.

LIFE.

How truly does the journey of single day,
Its charges ami its hours. exhibit the history of
human life! We rise Ae in the glorious fresh
ness of a spring morning. The dews of night,
those sweet tears of nature, are hanging from
each bough in the refreshing morning. Our
hearts are beating with hope, our frames are
buoyant with health We see no cloud, we
fear no storm, and with our chosen and below
ed companions clustering around us, we com
mence our Journey Step by step, the scene be-
comes more lovely; hour by hour, our hopes
become brighter. A few of companions
have dropped away, but in the multitude re-
manning, and the beauty of scenery, their loss
is unfelt Suddenly we have entered upon a
new country. The dews Of the morning are
exhaled by the ferver of the MONDAY sun the
friends that started with us are disappearing
Some remain, but their looks are cold and
estranged others have laid down to rest, but
new faces are smiling upon us ; and new hopes
are beckoning US on. Ambition and fame are
before us, but youth and affection are behind
us. The scene is more glorious and brilliat, but
the beauty and freshness of the morning have
faded, and forever. Onward we CO. the horizon
of happiness and fame rccedes we advance te
it, the shadows begin to lehgthen and the chill
" airs of evening are usurping the MONDAY
Still we press onward; the goal is not yet won
the haven not yet reached. The orb of hops
that had cheered us on, is sinking in the west
our limbs begin to grow faint, our hearts grow
sad, we turn our gaze upon the scenes that w
have passed; but the shadows of the twilight
have interposed their veil between US; we lool
around for the old, familiar faces, the coi1ipan
ions of our travel, but we gaze in vain to INT
them; we have outstripped them all in the rae
after pleasure, and the phantom has fed; AM
caught, in land of strangers in sterile an
inhospitable country, the night time overtake
US, the dark and terrible nighttime OF death
and weary and heavy laden we lie down to res
in the bed of the grave Happy, thrice happy
is he who has laid up treasures for himself to
the distant and unknown tomorrow.

thronged with lads and lasses, vending their
way to public gardens and other places of re-
sort, where social pleasures are freely enjoyed,
and the heart made glad and the health and
vigor of the body improved and preserved.
When the men and women have finished
their work, or business, they, too, go forth
for amusement. And what is worthy of note,
the ladies are not afraid of being Drowned by
the suns rays and the health giving breezes.-
They will spend hours in the sunlight daily,
and do marvel that any should object to such
an airing.
Can any one wonder at the superior robust
ness and cheerfulness of the women OF Ger
many, Italy and other European countries,
over the women of the northern cities of our
country, after contemplating the difference in
their habits!
Mothers should encourage their daughters,
especially, to take much exercise in the open
air, and not compel them to take the measured
boarding-school step. Allow them TO run, skip
and hop, as if they were really alive aEd full of
joy and life.
Any girl, from the age of ten to twenty
years, who is i'll possession of ordinary health,
should accustom herself to walking, as not to
be dependent on the cars or the omnibuses, in
case she desires to visit Mount Auburn or any
other desirable place of resort within six miles
Of the city. Yet, as daughters are now brought
up, it would be difficult to find girl in the
city, of the period of lif indicated, that could
walk to Mount Auburn and back without en-
dangering health and perhaps life.
If not accustomed to walking, begin by ex-
ercising moderately, increasing a little every
day, until you are able to walk three, six or
twelve miles a day.
The pleasure of life will be greatly enhanc-
ed by exercising as now indicated or in some
other not less efficient way. 1t is no unusual
thing for girls to begin to loose their freshness
and beauty of girlhood-that delightful period
of life; before they get out of their teens
Take our advice, providing it meets the approx
al of your mothers, and you will preserve and
magnify the priceless graces of girlhood as well
as of womanhood /; health beauty and cheer
fdlness, and secure that which everybody de-
sires; long, healthy, happy and useful life

What the Fathers Thought.

The Democracy generally profess great love
for the teachings of the Fathcrs--the makers
of the Constitution-the Signers of the Dec
laration. They are also great and loud pro
fessors of their love to the Union, and charge
with especial ferocity upon the Republicans
for advocating these and such like opinions,
they are from the Fathers.
Geol ge Washington expressed as among his
first wishes, desire ''to see slavery abolished
by law" Thomas Jefferson, in speaking of
our treatment af the African race, said, 81
tremble for my country when reflect that
God is lust" james Madison thought it
"wrong to admit in the Constitution the idea
that there could be property in man." James
Monroe said, 1--WE have found the evil Slavery
has preyed upon the very vitals of the Union
and has been prejudccd to all the States IN
which it has existed" Patrick Henry said ol
slavery, Il will not, cannot justify it; it is
debt we owe to the purity Of our religion to
show that it is at variance with that law which
warrants slavery" George Mason, Virgi-
MIA member of the Convention which framed
the Unined States Constitution, "held it essen
tial, in every point of view, that the General
Government should have power to prevent the
increase of slavery" John Randolph in his
will, wrote Il give my slaves their freedom
to which my conscience tells me they are just
ly entitled" Thomas j. Randolph said :
"How can an honorable mind, patriot, and
lover of his country, bear to see this ancient
dominion converted into one grand menagerie
where men are reared for the market like oxen
for the shambles." Mr.. Clay who was a ma
tive of Virginia, in the debate on the admis
sion OF California, in lS49, in reply to threat;
that the Union would be dissolved if slavery
were not carried into the new State said =
" So long as God allows the vital current t'
flow through my veins, will never aid in sub
mitting one rood of tree territory to the ever
lasting curse Of bondage"

Hon. 3. stanton--Explanatory.

3 To the Editor of the y. Y. Tribune
SIR AS you have deemed my pair " witt
+ Mr.. Horace I. Clark matter Of sufficient
Importance to Justify you in noticing it edito
rily in the Tribune Of this morning, I trus,
you will do me the favor to publish very
brief statement of the circumstances u dcl
which it was isade, and my reasons for making
it.
Mr.. Clark came to me in the Hall of the
House on Saturday, and said that his mother
was lying seriously i'll, in the city of New
York, and that he was very anxious to see her.
That, owing TO the peculiar position which he
occupied in relation to the election of Mr.. Shcr-
man by his absence, while he was unwilling to
vote for him, or to withhold his vote for the
avowed purpose of aiding his election, he said
he was determined never to place himself in
such position and that, if he could not pair
would remain and vote as he had been doing,
at any sacrifice of personal feeling.
That he had endeavored TO pair off with
others whose personal relations TO him ought,
as he thought, to have secured to him that fa-
vor He seemed to be laboring under consd-
cradle excitement, on account Of what he con-
sdered an attempt to punish him for pursuing
the course he had deemed it his duty to take
in the pending contest.
I was aware Of the existence of the feeling
to which he referred, and knew if / paired with
him should subject myself TO the censures
and animadversions of my friends in the House,
and probably through the newspapers.
1 therefore went with Mr.. Clark to a friend
al i
to Mr.. Sherman l had great confidence and
upon full consultation and mature delberation,
we concluded that we ought TO relieve Mr..
Clark from his embarrassment, and that, for
that purpose l ought to pair off with him.
of course did not know, nor did deem it
my duty to inquire, how many Republican or
how many Democratic votes Mr.. Clark receiv-
ed when he was elected. F--! a.
His course in the election of Speaker was a
matter of his own consideration and determin-
alton, and be was responsible for it to his con-
stituents. and to the country, and not to me
and certainly did not tiIcu and do not now,
think it wise Or magnanmons TO attempt to-
coerce him into change of his course by re-
fusing him the courtesies and civilites which,
under similar circumstances would be exten-
deti to political opponent. -.t4 60 7#it."5 l
My relations to Mr.! Clark have always been
kind and friendly, and could find no reason
to myself, why should refuse him
so small a favor, when ] knew it could not,
by any possibility, prejudice the election of u
Republican Speaker. If my Republican
friends are moi satisfied with my course, can
only say to them, as Mr.. Anderson. of Ken
lucky, said to his colleague MIR. Burnett, the
other day, in the House, that there was mali
in his district who had got very rich by atten-.
ding to his own business. I am ready to an
swer to my constituents for my conduct, and
am not much concerned as to what any bUdy
else may say about it. -''-' '-.'i '.@i s*.'ii"
Very respectfully, yours, &c,
B. STANTON

Girardin saws of Happiness

Madame Girardin says of Happiness
o For ages happiness has been represented by
. huge precious stone, impossible to find, which
people seek for hopelessly. 1t is not SO hap
piness is a mosaic, composed of q thousand
little stones. which separately and of them
selves have little value, but which united with
art, form graceful design. Set the mosaic
carefully, and you have beautiful ornament i;
learn to understand intelligently the passing
enjoyments which chance, which your charas-
ter gives yon, or which heaven sends you, and
you have an agreeable existence. Why always
look to the horizon, when you have such fine
roses ls the garden yoa live in ~ 7

SNOW ON wurAr-rrrGDs.

A correspondent Of the Toronto Globe (C.
W. advances the opinion that rolling the snow
on the autumn wheat In winter would be an
effective means Of preventing winter-kill, by
rendering the snow less liable TO melt on every
Sudden thaw that occurs. He says the prac-
tice is extensively followed in Sweden. A
good deal Of discussion is taking place through
the columns of that paper, on this subject, from
which we gather that it yet requires the test
of actual experiment to decide whether any
benefit is to be derived from the operation %
not.
