EXCLUSIVE DEALING.---A society has been formed by the Tories, for the purpose of encouraging exclusive dealing. The proposal is an immoral one, because its object is to tempt or terrify men into committing the crime of voting against their consciences. But it is both unwise and impracticable. It is unwise, because it is more likely to provoke anger than alarm. Englishmen may be persuaded, but will never be bullied, into supporting any party. The very attempt to dictate to a tradesman is an insult which he is sure to resent, and if he appears outwardly to conform, his efforts are privately directed to advance his real opinions. For one who is thus awed into silence or a vote, three will be roused by the consciousness of attempted tyranny into active resistance and tenfold efforts to defeat the tyrants who try to tramyle on them. It is unwise; also, as it provokes r•etaliation, and Tory tradesmen would equally objet',; to have every Whig customer crossed out of ineir books. At Bath the system was attempt,A and it thas produced the result exhibited --6 i the last election ; indignation overcame. fear' and threats led to active .resistance. • Some oankers there having tried the game, the insulted tradesmen, whose franchises were thus sought to be taken from them, resolved that it was one at which two parties could play, and they immediately determined to refuse to take the notes, when presented, of the banks which had used undue influences, and half-a-dozen tradesmen might,: by so doing, break any bank in a few days. And it is impracticable,. for political connexion is but one of many that rule the affairs of life. Men must deal with those who deal with them ; they have friends to serve, relations to oblige, whom they cannot afford to sacrifice for that which their consciences must tell them is, after all, a serious moral wrong. Add to these who cannot act upon the system, the many whose good sense and good feeling will not permit them to coerce the consciences of their neighbours, and the remnant who are foolish or unprincipled enough to act upon it will be so small, that they will be ashamed of themselves. Exclusive dealing has been often attempted, and in many places, and nowhere has it succeeded, for it is contrary to the irresistible law of commerce, that induces every one to buy where we can obtain the best and cheapest article, without reference to the politics, religion, or intelligence of the seller.—. Somerset County Gazette.  A Strathaven correspondent mentions, that, at a remote part of the moor on the Sidehill of Avondale, there was discovered on the 12th June the remains of a human body imbedded in solid black moss, about 2f feet below the surface. When carefully opened up, the body appeared to be that of a man fully six feet long, regularly laid out east and west, without any coffin, but in a full suit of clothes, which appeared to be of very antiquated form. The cloth and the body went to pieces on handling, but by careful inspection tho coat was observed to be long in the skirts, with only one seam down the back, and ornamented there withroclosl-sorf buttons made of cloth, and without any neck or la one outer vest of the same texture of cloth, and vest of a finer fabric and lighter colour, both :ifimmnehich; buttons and holes ; for breeches reached far down the body, and haderea wgreatas anupmiecbeer of ornamented with tassels belt or sash of strong cloth like an apron or kilt, hailidthag,rthddown with a broad. cloth, hose with gartess and ; and for stockings, P-abe ascertained how long the knots ;no shoes.
