President* mad Vice President*. Franklin Pierce i» the first Democratic President ever elected from any of the Now England States*— and is the third Chief Magistrate, says the Cincinnati Enquirer, that that section of Che country has gtven to th» TJnion. Of our Presidents two —John Adams and John Q. Adams—were resident* of the State of Massachusetts when they were elected. Four President# were residents of Virginia at the time of their elevation to that office, viz: George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Jamee: Madison and Jsraei Monroe,. Two—Andrew JackSon and Jamec K. Polk, came from the State of Tennessee, and another—Mar'in Van Buren,—was a resident of New York. Wm, II. Uarrison was elected from Ohio, and Gen. Zacn/'ry Ta^ofJ^ynj

Louisiana. *0/ the Vice Presitloht#, two were resiciwrt'a of Virginia, viz:—Thomas Jefferson and John TyU/*wo were from Massachusetts—John Adnms and Elbridge Gerry, and five were from New ork, viz: Aaron Burr, George Clinton, Dar »el D. Tompkins, Marlin Van Bureh and Millard Fi.'lmore. One was from South Carolina—John C. Calhoun,—-and another from Pennsylvania—George Dallas. The Vict) President elect—Wm. King—is from Alabama, It will thus be seen that Virginia has furnished the most Presidents to the Union, and

New York thg mo»| Vic® Presidents. Three of the Vice Presidents were made Presidents, viz: John Adams, Thomas Jefferson arid Martin Van Buren, by the choice of the people ami two, John Tyler and Millard Fillmore, ctiiWe^ lo that office by thp death of the Presidents with whom they we.r^ respectively associated. The two Presidents lii&V died before their term of office cxpired^wlrtt General Harrison and Gen Taylor the lonuur within one mpnlh after his inauguration, and thclatter a little more fhnri a year after. Vice Presidents George Clinton, I). Tompkins and ElbridgjfeGerfy, died while in office, and two others. Aaron Burr and John C.

From the PenBHylvaiiitu..

*rtf story of file election 'n koH Ti but to the bu merous articles wtittendnthe subject, which we have read during the past few days, we have not j*en one that does justice to the moral. The whig-* see in their defeat the A ction of Mr. Webster, the hikewarmttess of Mr. I'iilmore and hia friends. Th«y blame Johnston. Seward, Greely and his Tribune, McMichael aad hia North American, their candidjate and'hia new born love^for the rieb "Irish brogue' and *sweet German accent,' their stare and th«r«e]ves, the piatiorm, and the New 1 ork Herald: while our friends, amid the uproar of uiumpbant exultation, have setsree paused in their joy long enough to point to the great lesson which the second of Noyetn^pr teaches the opponents of Democracy. It has b' en enough for them to "know that they have triumphed in the election of their standard, bearer, Frank Pierce, over fraud and slander, corruptionand Galphinlam.

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 fes though the masses were void of all the great and crowning attributes that distinguish man from the brute, creation listuing to their appeals and noting their movements, it would appear that the Whig leaders through the I mass oftheir fellow beings were not fed with the same weapons, subject to the same distreses, healed by the same means, warmed and cooled- by tbej sftme summer and winter, as their leaders are. 'l:i oee men, in laying thdir traps to catch the vot of the people, made no allowance for their discer ment or patriotism they thought that all that wa needed was to set up before thein a hero of manj battles, tell bow those battels w-re fought and won.' midst tho

of trumpeia and

the,-.eople to fall down and worship their »dol.— But in this they have been mistaken the people, will be UoposeJ upon no longer they are tired of rutittini atier .every man in soldier's clothes, (like: lurk v'fili^r a bright button and a red rag,) wlio asks, their votes' t»'©v--have arisen in their strength in,

with one mighty bio a!uiost hlottod from existence the leaders and the pai 'y despised their intell-igence-.and enduavored to decei'.'tf them and leau ihern astray afltir a mSliJary u«oI and eUct.--

Phis is a lesson that will not soon be forgoi.'^n sliow^thjii, thpugh oijce deceived, „thg peoplf reniett»!^afc thei^belriiyet's and punish thenj fbr their baseness.

In the politid^t canvass -just passed through, the whig candid ale submitted hia laurels and his conscience to the keeping ofthe Seward auj} the Johnstons of his party, men who in his heart he must have dispised. They had been almighty in s«cu-riiig-hi* nomination, and he thouglit th« adroitness displayed by thorn iu defeating the great leader of their own party* in convention, would carry him safely into tho PreSideiiHal seat but how* sad was the mistakel Gon. Scott notoriously incapable in oivil alTairs, but whose military reputation is world-wide, wft'J selup by the cunning men of his party as their candidate, and trained ior the part.— While he was shown round the'country, under a miserable pretext, as a military atotn at ion, he was taught not to talk politos, but to tell of his heroic exploits, and appeal to the old soldiers and those wbo shared with' him tW dangers of the battlefield. "I am."' quoth he. "the hero of Canada, the conqueror of Mexico I love you—-l thank you." llis prejudices were Southern—ho was taught to oonc^al ihern they were Native American—but he threw them aside in his pretended admiration for tho rich Irish brogue and sweet German accent they were aritfiocralfo—but he said to the crowd.,— •I am your equal Even his thoughts and feeling* upon tW subject of the compromise, those great meaaurs which tad quieted dissensions that were calculated to rend this glorious Union asunder measures on which every man, woman

child, who thought and spoke, had expressed an opinion, this talkative old soldier was compelled to stifle, lie was no doubt a patriot, and thought like one but he was not allowed tosay sohe only 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 waj», that the people, the mighty masses, the sovereigns of the land, became disgusted they sickned at such fbllj'/and their stroke of condemnation fall with 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. *V,

When the new party springs up. that Damel Webster indistinctly referred to in his dyingspeech to his friend Harvey, no doubt the lesson taught by the election of Franklin Pierce will be product* ive of great good in showing its leaders the rock On which ihe old Federal whig party, which is to be spoken of only as one of the things that were, split upon the second of Nov., and wrecked all its hopes of the future.

The Bles»i»g of Books.

Books are our household godsj and we cannot prize them too highly.—They are the only god* in all the mythologies that are beautiful and unchangeable for they betray no man. and love their lovers. I confess myself an idolator of this literary feligion, and am greatful for the blessed ministry of books, 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 Oylrapus, and crowns it with sublimity and glory.

Who docs not love John Gtfttenherg—the man that, with 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.* J^The dawn of printing was the outburst of a netl*revelation, which, in its ultimate infoldings and coiisfquences. are alikf inconceiveable and immeasureatde. 1 sometimes amuse myself comparing' the condition of the people before the time of Gottenberg. with their present condition, that I may Jix the idea of the value and blessedness of bdoks more" vividly in" my mind It is an' occupation not without profit, and makes me*grateful and contented with my lot.

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.

Best Location for Peach Trees. ir The. successful cultivation of peach trees seems to require more skill, or rather more knowledge ofthe tree, than does that of most fruit tries.

writer in the New England Farmer says: The present condition ofthe peach in thls.ticThity so fully confirms the views of observing and practical horticulturists .'as to the best location- hr 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-half of whicf" hre situated on low land, have been injuriously a fleeced, and many of them entirely destroyed, by the severity of the past winter while those 00 the hiUi 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

The Bottle Trick Explained—In this well known trick there are two puzzling points: first how can fifty or a hundred wine-glasses he filled froth one quar» 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 murvel is managed iu tho following manner: The 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 sugar. At the bottom of each glass is a drop or two of some flavouring essence, as noyen, essence of brandy, pdrt wine, sherry, etc. and the operator is thus enabled to concoct a tolerable resemblance of any fluid that is likely to be called for, and lo supply a hundred persons or more with half a sip oftheir favorite beverage, from the "inex: haustible bottle."-— Horn# Journal.

That is a capital story which is told of Calo, an old negro in Kentucky, noted for his peculiar kind of cunning, lie succeeded, the story rui)s, on one occasion, in making his fellow-kervants in the neighborhood believe that banking wa.s a very profitable business insomuch that tiiey concluded to tirrow„ all thejr change into a comnon fund, and start a bank. Old Cato, however, took good care to have himself constituted as The' Bank, tb whom all the sixpences and shillings of the darkies w6re to be paid over. J^" i'sf* ffcfi "Aud now," said Calo, "wheneber ftlgga borrbw sixpence opto* dis bank to buy '.baccy, ho got to come back in t'ree weeks and pay in two sixpence, and in dis way you see ebery sixpence, bring anoder sixpence, till a'ter awhile de niggah get rich."

Upon this principle the 'bank' went into operation, old Cato always taking cure jhat evyry darkey should 'fork over* according to the 'bankrulcs.' Bet in the course of time some of "the stockholders

A part of my peach orchard occupies low ground which ha* for hail a century been used as a garden, and which has been liberally manured. Tne oousequence is that there is an excessive growth ot wood, and consequently diminished product o1 fruit. The peach tree requires a cultivated soil, and indeed it is preposterous to think, at many do. mat it will llourish in swamp land, even li tho soil be ever so good, Th.j soil about peach trees needs to be thoroughly stirred by the plow and tho hoe, ut least as often as every other year, or they will do little or nothing. Plant your peach trees on your hills, and among the rheks where therms a good lepth of soil, and let the soil be frequently stirred, and enjoy only a slight quantity of manure, and you will find that- they will successfully rrsist the severity of our winters, load your table with most luscious fruit, and enable you to send to market* ari article which is always in demand, and which will amply repay your toils for its production.* frr

plated as crimioal must include the idea of eccouraging the slave in bis escape from his mnster,

and impeding and frustrating the attempts of the

master to reclaim his slavefe Tbe Judge said. •'It is tbo plain for argument that this.net does not intend to make common charity a crime .or treat that man guilty of an offense agaipst his neighbor, who merely furnishes food, lodging, or raiment to the hungry, weary', or naked wanderer, though he bo att apprentice or a slave. On the contrary, it contemplates not only an escape of the slave, but the iutention of bis master to reclaim him. .It points out the mode in which this recla* mAtion is to be made, and it is for an unlawful interference or hindrance of this right of reclatnarton, secured to the master by the constitution and laws," that this action is given. Tho harboring made criminal by this act. then, require# soma other ingredient besides a kindness or charity rendered to die fugiiive. The iutention or purp iso which

companies the act must be to encoungo the fugitive in his desertion of his master, to further liis escape and impede and frustrate his reclamation.-r

An Important Case aflfeotins tho Rights of Womawi Saya the Reading (Pa.) Gazette* was deoided it our Court of Quarter Sessions, lately. A wije ii»-f dieted her husband for assault and battery, committed under the following circumstances: They wer* returning home together in a wagmi, from market—the husband provided with a ••pockel pistol'' well loaded, from which 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 brut^ of a husband beat h*r. Judge Jones charged th» jury lhal the wife's act of breaking the bottle, Sid not justify her husband in striking her thnti although a wife had no right to destroy the goods1 and ohattloa of„a husband, a rum-bottle was an exception that a wife was perlectly justifiable ht seizing her husband's rum bottle wherever she could lay hands on it. and destroying it and that in this instance the defendant did no more thari what a sensible woman ought to have done. The jury rendered a verdict in accordance with this sound opinion. Rum-bottles may therefore from this'dale be considered without the pule of the IdwM protoptioji.. ,, .' Sir#

Look out!

We should like to see him Oonvineo us, that there is any reason because we choose to write to a girl, and she chooses to answer us, that that makes us husband and wife. What does the -xdd curmudgeon want? To frighten all the pretty girl», who, sometimes, merely for pastime, like to adrib* ble away a few leisure moments.
