r«*$m The Moral. "7 Toe story of the election is kown but To the numerous articles written on the subject, wbich we have read during the past few days, we have not "rtjeri one tlSSt does justice to the moral. The whigs see in their defeat the def crion of Mr. Webster, the lukew&rmness of Mr. F^ainore and bis frieads. They .blame Johnston. Seward, Greely and hist Tribune, McMichael and his North American, their candidate and his new born love for the rich 'Irish brogue' and 'sweet German accent,' their slam and theirse]v«s, the plaUorm, and the New Vork Herald while our friends, amid the uproar of triumphant exultation, have scarce paused in their joy song enough to point to the great lesson which the second of November teaches the opponents of Democracy. It has been enough for them to know that they have triumphed |u the election of their standard bearer, Frank Pierce, over fraud and slander, corruption and Gaiphinism.

The lesson just taught our opponents is respect for the people, their feelings and intelligence.— The leaders of the Whig party, in the recent political contest, acted %s though the masses were void of all the great and crowning attributes that distinguish man from the brute, creation listning to their appeals and noting their movements, it would appear that the Whig leaders through the mass of tfieir fellow beings were not fed with the same weapons, subject to the same distreses, healed by the same means, warmed and cooled* by the snme summer and winter, as their leaders are.-*-1 i.ase men, in laying th6ir traps to catch the vote of the people, made no allowance for their discern ment or pai'.'iotifm they thought that all that wait needed was to set up before them a hero of many battles, fell how those battels w'^re fought and won, jrnidst the blast of trumpets and firing guns, to get lbe |eople to fall down and worship their idol.—

But in this they have been mistaken the pe will be Uoposed upon no longer they are tired of running ai«'«r every man in soldier's clothes, (like 0 turky alter a brightbutton and a red rag,) who asks their votes Uicy have arisen in their strength in every part Vf ou/ beautiful and 'happy land, and with

mighty bi. *v almost blotted from existence

the luaders and the paidespised their intelligence and endeavored to deceti them and lead them astray aftyr a military iu'ol and no.\!,ing elsc.This is a lesson-that will not soon be forgoi.'4*"? showa,thH though ^nee4tfceived, thj pwpi| .J* -i!' rentc^itUW their betr^yet'* and punish litem for tlteir baseness.

In the polittdsfl canvass4us' passed through, the

whig candidaie submitted bi» laurels and his couscioficeto the keeping of the Sewurd anj the Johnstons of his parly, men who in his heart he must have dispiscd. They had been almighty in sequring hU nomination, nnd he thought the sdroitoess displayed by tiiern iti defeating the/great leader of iheir Own party in convention, would carry him safely inioriho' PreSldeitiial seal but how sad was tiie mistake! Gun. Scott, notoriously iueapable in uivtl affairs, but whose military reputation is vvorld-wide, wist set up by the cunning men of his party as their candidate, and trained lor the part.— While he was shown round the' country, under a miserable pretext, as a military atorn uion, he was taught not to talk polfros, but to tell of his heroic exploits, and appeal to the old soldiers and those who shared with him the dangers of (he battlefield. "I am,*' quoth he, "the hero of Canada, the conqueror of Mexico I love you—I thank you." fits prejudices were Southern—ho was taught to cdndeal them they were Native American—but he threw them aside in his pretended admiration for the rich Irish brogue and sweet German accent they were aristocratic*—but he said to the crowd.— 1 am your equal." Even his thoughts and feelings upon the subject of the compromise, those great measurs which had quieted dissensions that were calculated to read this glorious Union asunder measures on which every man, woman and child, who thought and spoke, had expressed an opinion, this talkative old soldier was compelled to stifle. Mo was no doubt a patriot, and thought like one but he was not allowed to say

he otity told the people, in his fifty-three electioneering speeches, that ho was a hero, and of the battles he had fought, The result of this was, that the people, the mighty masses, the sovereigns of the Jautl, becatne disgusted they stckned at such fblljh'and theif stlroke of condemnation fell vith crushing force upon those who were endeavoring to deceive them. It is a lesson that will be remembered, at least, while a whig politician of the present generation remains on the earth. I.

When the new party springs up, that Daniel Webster indistinctly referred to in his dying speech to his friend Harvey, no doubt the lesson taught by rhe election of Franklin Pierce will be product" ive of groat good in showing its leaders the rock Ott whichihe old Federal whig party, which is to be spoken of only as one of the things that were, split epon the seoond of Nov., and wreoked all its hopes of the future.

A 3I«n Cu'«"ed to a Ball.

I was a boydnce.^ »1 »,"ou!d be happy, indeeil, could I say that, a* I becus^e a man, I put away

boyish things, arid that 1 have now entered upon my duties and my responsib.!'1'68

on'y

may., IJut 1 have ono boyish Jthing .tbout me yet, and it is in this wise:—I was once passing the barrack-yard in the oily of Quebec, and hearing the sound as of soldiers marching, I climbed up the wall and-peeped over. There were a .company of soldiers, and, a short dislatice in adva.l0* them, a single private with a large oannon-.!,a" I chained to his foot, lie had been guilty of somt'. misdemeanor, and was condemned to the task of parading a certain number of hours each day, with this irksome companion. And as 1 have grown older and learned

a fnatl

think for myself, 1 have applied

its moral in somp &a.sq?,wbielK.h#vIe ,Con\e ,uijder my observation. ,ir When I see a young man, just on the threshold of life, loitering away his lime in unprofitable amusements and unworthy associations, which Consume his precious seed-time, and burden him with evil influences which will probably go with him, and form a thorny pillow when he lies in the silent grave, I think that he chaining himself to a ball.

When a young man cuts off the restraints of early impressions, and enters the bar-room, there to spend his evenings, and perhaps his nights, in dissipation and companionship with sinners, whose god is Bacchus, and whose oblations are profane jes:s and godless sneers and licentious songs, I turn aside and weep, that he will madly forge and weld the

links with which he is ckai^gh^eif^bail.l

When I see a young man* elastic with hope, I nW

whose path points to certain success, or lo undying W

fame, seekiTig relaxatron from the fatigues of b'usi" I

unhallowed delights, I do verily feel assured thatjiusl

that man is chaining himself to a ball whioli will roll with its victim into a premature gravel#^ When see a man suffering important engage* ments to slip by without fulfilment, from a habit of

carelessness or a want of energy', I feel tha^experience will ere long prove to him that he has bet ii chaining himself to a bajl.

Whetf a young man runs into debt, and is negligent ot paying his obligations when due, or lets his busidette take dare of Uself white he is attending to trifling employments, he will find to bis sorrow. that he has been chaining himself 'o a bal',. I

VVhen a youhg man forms habit of extrAVa gauce and of living beyond his means, and thus squanders the bcuoties put snto Mi hand for ft vlr* tispus and laithfol mewaoiship, will find thnt he is wasting the uncyrated capital ot a future which t#not hi)?, and is, moreover, chaining hitttfeff to* ball which will grow more rusty ami burdedsom'e e*#ry dtiy.

A Lady on Money Matters.

The Military Argus has a long and prosy arti cle headed, "How-to make home happy." A friend of ours has now in preparation a work which solves the question "Is it to give your wife as much money as she asks for." This entirely abolishes the necessity of kisses and soft sawder.

Hetty throw up the window, loosen my belt, and bring me my vinaigrette!

TERRE-HAUTE,J[NDIANA, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 8, 1852. NO. 30,

Books are our household gods and we cannot prize them too highly.-—They are the only gods in all tbe mythologies that are beautiful and unchangeable for they betray no man. and love their lovers. I confess myself an idotator of this literary religion, end am greatful for the blessed ministry of books It Is a kind of heathenism which needs no missionary funds, no Bible even, to abolish it for the Bible itself caps the peak- of this n«w Oylmpus, and crowns it with sublimity and glory. Amongst the many things we have to be thankful for, as the resalt of modern discoveries, surely this of printed books is the highest of all and 1 for one, am so sensible of its merits that I never think of the name of Gotten berg without feelings of veneration and homage. I no longer wonder, with this and other instances before rtie, why. in the old days-of reverence and worship, the saints and benefactors of mankind were exalted into a kind of demi-gods. and had worship rendered to their tombs and mem ories for this is the most natural as well as the most touching, of all humau generosities, and springs from the profoumiest depths of man's nature. Who does not love John Gottenberg—the man that wiih his leaden types has made* the invisible thoughts and* imagination of the soul visible and readable to all and by all, and secured for the worthy a double immortality! The birth of this person was an era in the world's history second to none save that of the advent of Christ. The dawn of printing was the outburst of a new revelation, which, in its ultimate ttifoldings and consequences, are alike inconceiveable and inmieasureat.lw. I sometimes amuse myself comparing the condition of the people before the time of Gottenberg, with their pres* ent condition, thai I may Jix the idea of the value and blessedness of bdoks more vividly in* my mind It is atf occupation not without profit, and makes me^grateful and contented with my lot. In these reading days onp can hardly, conceive how our good forefathers managed to kill their superfluous time, or how, at least, they could be satisfied to kili it as they did. A life without books, when we him said all we can about the honor and nobility of labor. woukl be something like heaven without God scarcely to be endured by an" immortal nature And yet this was the condition of things before Gottenberg made his far sounding metalic tongues which reach through all the ages that have since passed away, and make us glad with their eloquence. —Essays of January §earle.

The present condition of the peach in this vicinity so fully confirms the views of observing and practical horticulturists as to tbe best location tor them, that it may be well to put them on record for the guidance of future operations. I have three acres in peach trees, about one-hnlf of wbicf are situated on low land, have been injuriously atfeetad and many of them entirely destroyed, by the severity of tbe past winter while those ou the hill, occupying a bleak and exposed position, never looked more finely. The popular impression is that plain lands, with a somewhat sandy soil, are the best adapted to peach trees and that they carinot live at all on the bleak and rugged eminences which form so tame apportion of every New England farmer's dWRin. JBut this is one of the numerous cases wiilre the popular belief in horticultural matters is at Variance witn Mhe well established results of close/and scientific OiBfrvation. The peach loves an elevated locality, iftw&W«i,nearly as rough and rocky as the vine luxuriates upOn the banks of the Rhine. It ^uM^^eoil of cotiiderable strength, aifd if it hais iMVsQlliM0 much the better. My own observktiO^

Tlia uousequence is that there is an excessive growtn ol wood, and consequently diminished product ol fruit. The peach tree requtres a cultivated soil and indeed it is preposterous to think, as many do. that it wilt fiourishiu swamp land, even if the soil he ever so good. The soil about peach trees need to be thoroughly stirred by the plmv and the hoe, ot least as often as every other year, or they will do fittle or nothing. Plant your peach trees on vour hills, and among the rfrcks where lhere4* a good depth of soil, and lot the soil be frequently stirred, and enjoy only a slight quantity ol manure, uml you will find lhat they will successfully resist the severity of our winters, load your table with most luscious fruit, and enable you to send to market 'an article which is always in demand, and which will amply rfepay your toils for its production,,

known trick there are two puzzling points first how can fifty or a hundred wine-glasses be filled frotft one quart bottle? and, secondly, how can six or "ight different liquids be poured from the same bottle? The first wonder is explained, thus:—-the glasses are so small, and have such thick bottoms, that a full quart bottle will hold enough to fill eighty of them*. Tho second marvel is managed in the following manner: Tlui glasses are arranged on a tray in a particular manner by the conjurer, before the entertainment begins. The bottle is filled with a weak mixture of spirits of wine, water, and sugur^yAt the-bottom of each glass is a drop or two of sottie flavouring essence, as novea, essence of brandy, port wine, sherry, etc. and the operator is thus enabled to concoct a tolerable resemblance of any fluid that is likely to be oallod for, and

That Is a capital story which is told of Cato, an old negro iu Kentucky, noted for his peculiar kind of cunning. lie succeeded, the story ruys, on one occasion, in making his fellow-ietvants in the neighborhood belieVe'that banking was a very profitable business insomuch that they concluded to throw all the.ir change into a coinnon fund, nnd start a bank. Old Cato, however, took good care to have himself constituted as TiV#'Bunk, tb whoni all the sixpences and shillings of the darkies were to bo paid over. "And now," said Culo, "wlieoeber nigga borrow sixpence out o'dis bank to buy'baccy, he got lo come back in free weeks and pay in

We bave already stated that in the cuit Court at Philadelphia, Messrs. Oliver and ollfc ere, of Maryland, had obtained £3.800 damages against Daniel KaulTnian, of Penshrama, borin^and concealing thirteen fugitive slaves.— |udgeGrier,ta his charge to the jorvr took 4he jround that tbe Fugitive Slave Aot did notconteant plate making mere act of charity and kindness to to the fugitive a crime: but tbe •harboring' contemn plated as criminal must include the idea of eo« couraging the slave in bis escape from his master* aud impeding and frustrating tbe attempts of the master to reclaim bis slave. Tbe Judge said: "It is tbo plain for argument that this act does not intend to make common charity a crime .or treat that man guilty of an off-nsu against his neighbor, who merely furnishes food, lodging, or raiment to the hungry, weary", or naked wanderer,' though he bo an apprentice or a stave, On the contrary,it oontemplates not only an escape ofthe slave, but the intention of his master to reclaim hint, ^li points out the mode in ,which this reclamation is to bo made, and it is for an unlawful interference or hindrance of this right of reclamation,' secured to the master by the constitution and law's.* that thi* action is given. Tho harboring made criminal by this aot. then, requires soma other in^ gredient besides a kindness or charity rendered to the fugitive. The intention or purpnso which «e* ompanies the act must be to encourage the fugitive in his desertion of his master, to further his as* onpe aud impede and frustrate his reulamauw.-r* "Phis aot must evince &n intention to elude ihe vigilance of the master, nnd be oalculatcd to obtain the object.'

Say»the Reading (Pa.) Gazette, was decided in our Court of Quarter Sessions, lately. A wile in7 licted her husband for assault and battery, committed under the following circumstances: Thoy wer* returning home together in a wagon, froni market—tho husband provided with a "pocket pistol" well loaded, from whioh he took sundry •swigs," until he beoame "shot." The wife remonstrated earnestly against such conduct, which aroused the anger of her lord, and he commenced abusing her whereupon she seized the rum-bottle, and threw it out into the road. For this, her bruld of a husband beat her.' Judge Jones charged t|iw jury that the wife's act of breaking tlie bottlb, Hid not justify her husband in striking her thntS althougii a wife bad no right to destroy the goods aud chatties ota husband, a rum-bottle was an exception lhat a wife was perfectly justifiable in seizing her husband's rum bottle wherever she could lay hands on it. and destroying it and that in this instanoe the defendant did no more thari what a sensible woman ought to Imve done. The jury rendered a verdict in accordance with this sound opinion. Rum-bottles may therefore from ihiftdate be considerod wjthout the pulo of tho law's protection,^"f.: in mm-n svr 1 1 1 ... 1 «. ir#
