King caueu i a potent a any other king in thi respect; for whoever ge'.a the nomination -no matter how effected become the candidate of the party, from the necessity of the union againat the oppoelte party, and from the Indisposition of the great State to go Into tho House of Representative to be balanced by the email onci, Thi I tin mode of making Präsident, practised by both parti now.

The evil Is destructive to the right and sovereignty of the people and to the purity of flections. The remedy U In the application of the democratic principle, the people to vote direct for President and Vice President, and a aecond election to be held Immediately between the two highest, If no one ha a majority of the whole number on the first trial.

Deep Ocean Mounding do not remember to have aeen

We any account In American paper of the , expedition alludod to below. Our neighbora across the water seem to have a way of getting a knowledge of our business a little ahead of our own journal ists. An English paper gives the following account of deep ocean Bounding: A thi svbject now engrossea the at..I - I I ..1 .Id. . l iciiviuii vi nisiij ui mo scieniinc men ot the present age, it may not be uninteresting to know the results of a discovery which has been introduced by our neighbor on the other side of the Atlantic, for the purpose of testing the exiitciKC oft louudatlon to the ocean, and alao to know of what it Is composed. There has, for several daya past, been lying in the Southampton waters, an American government surveying brig named the Dolphin. This brig, which is empowered under tho act of Congress, In connexion with the scientific re aearchea f Lieut. Maury, of the National Observatory, at Washington, for tho purpose of entering into a series of meteorological observation and discoveries, left Chesapeake Hay on the 31st of May, and has completed a perfect line of sounding aero lho Atlantic to Itockulo, otr the west coast of Scotland. The distance between each place of sounding averaged about 100 miles. A line wss run to the Azores, to the north of which, about a parallel of forty five In a southwest direction, an clovatioo was discovered on lho bottom of lho ocean, of about 0,000 feet, the soil Indicatinga fine yellow chalky substance, mixed with a small portion of tho finest and. After leaving tho Asores, the Dolphin took i westerly direction, still succeeding In discovering bottom.Hleuring north, she made a direct line to tho "Three Chimneys," where, at a depth of 1,000 fathoms, bottom wa also discovered. At thi point Lieut. Uerry man, in charge of '.ho ehlp, finding the position of the weather unfavorable to a continuation of tho research, made sail, mid came Into Southampton. The greatest depth at which bo'.tom was reached wa 3,130 fathoms, in lat. from 41 to 43, Ion. SI to fid. The explorer luve brought homo with thorn specimen of the soil which ha been discov ered at their various place of aoundlng, and which will be laid before a committee of scientific men ut Washington, lor the purpose or analysatlon . Tho temperature ol the water wa also tested at various depths, specimen of which have also been preserved. During the whole ol the observation, particular attention wa paid to the width, depth and forco of the current lit diflerent part of the ocean, all of which huvo been carefully nuted, for the pur. poso of bi'ing fully dicucd and explained. The Dolphin Intend returning at the loiter end ol the week, and I hould the weather permit, will take a linn ol sounding to the Mastern edge of tho Azores, that being a portion of the Atlantic which hsa at present remained unexamined. Of course no further explanation of tho results of thi expedition will at present bo given, as the wh ile of the matter collected is being Ciirefully preserved for tho use and explanation oT the gentlemen at Washingtun. Them I one Interesting matter In connexion with this subject, and the nonexistence ol which has born tin great drawback to all treviotM result being satisfactory, and w hlch Is the very simple method by which the sounding appiiratu I rendered entirely perfect and ueful.

The lMlf rim Mother. On the occaaion of a dinner eelcbra-

Hon of the laat anniversary of thclanding of the pilgrims," in San Francisco, Capt. Charley Brenham, Mayor of that city, requested a talented lady acquaintance of his to furnish him a suitable toast for the occasion. He received the following note In reply, which we think knock Fenny Fern Into a cocked bon net. The gallant Mayor proposed the toast suggested, reading the lady's note also to the company at the table, and The Pilgrim Mothers!" was drank in euthuslastlc bumpers, and amid clamors of applause: I am aurprlsed that a man of your trallsntry should be at a loss for a toast ! on an occasion euch as this I say surprised, becauae I know that you are not auch a humbug aa these Puritanical etralght laced, hypocritical, palm einging Pilgrim Fathers, whom I hold in utter detestation. You came from tho South, whore we 'do honor unto whom honor ia due,' I mean to tho women. For more than two hundred yeara thi flagrant act of Injustice to the gentler aex has been tolerated and countenanced by the men until it has ceased to appear an Injustice to thorn. For two hundred years men have usurped so quietly all tho honors of Plymouth Rock havo given themselves dinners, and toasted them selves, and made speeches about them selves, their dangen and persecution that a stranger never for a moment would supposo that there had ever been a woman within a thousand mile ol 'Plymouth Rock. The Pilgrim Fathers' forsooth 1 What hid they to endure In comparison wilh the 'Pilgrim Mothers!" It Is true that they had hunger, and cold, and sickness and danger foea without and within but the unlortunste Pilgrim Mothers! they had not only all theso to endure.but they had tho Pilgrim Fathcn also! and vet their names are never mentioned. Who ever heard of the Pilgrim Mothers! Who ever gives a dinner in honor of them! Whoever write songs, and drink toast, and makes speeches in re collection of them! Thi selfeutllclency on '.he part of the inert ia beyond 11 endurance One, to hear them, would actually suppose thst New England had been coionuod by men, on I posterity provided by a special act of Providence! Only Mr. Hemane ha ventured to In sinuato that there ever wa a woman in the easo that the Mayflower ever brought anything but men acros the Atlantic. I assure you, my dear friend, that I am perfectly disgusted with the self-conceit of the men they approprlato everything to themselves oven tho settlement of a colony, and the peopling of a whole continent. I did hope that th-'re wa one prerogative they would le.ve to woman. We have submitted qu etly to their Inventions for superseding u in many things to their sewing ma chine and other "fixing," but wo will not tamely allow ourselves to be deprived of thi one privilege wo will not allow ourselves to be deluded into tho beliof that New Knglaud wa settled and peopled entirely by Pilgrim.

Quarrying stone, a human skeleton was ound imbedded in rock, on a bluff bank, on the aouth branch of Jonathan's creek, thirty feet from the aurface. A small fissure in the rock of about two inches in width opened to the resting place ef these remain, which in all human prob ability, may have been deposited there centuries ago. The rock contained an Indentation of the greater part of the body, aa perfect as though moulded af potter's clay. Fiom the hip to the foot particularly, thla earcophagus waa as complete as carving could have made It. The proportions, curvatures. of the limbs were distinct and regular, and In dicated that the ikilcton had beeu that of a person of full size. Hoc, and at what period of the world, these remain! were deposited where found, furnishes a wide theme for con jecture, aa well as a subject for the dis cussion of geologist, iho rational probabilities are, that at some very ancient period this body had been washed from the creek Into the tank of the stream, and that the continual deposit of sand around it formed Into rock, which has been increasing for ages, as agea only could have formed the Immense amount of very hard aand stone which surrounded it. This discovery establish? what past history hs heretofore fallod to establish, to wit: The phenomenon of a human skeleton within a body cf solid rock.We have no hesitation in bclieving,from thj appearance of the rock, that at one period the portion surrounding this body wa entire and solid, but that the under mining of tho rock by the stream, or some great convulsion of nature, had opened the fissure which existed when these remains were discovered. Wo saw this skeleton and the rock from which Itwai taken, tie day after It had been discovered. The bouea were in a good state of preservation. A portion of the akull may be icen at wur uflice.
