The " hard cider" sneers of 1 50 are revived aain, by "ail the decency" ami all the " Democracy." The aristocrat;;! hearts of the self-styled democracy will, ever and anon, in an unguarded moment, display the hidden purposes of their souls. Secretly they dispiae the common habits and common customs of the people. Too arrogant to brook the pretentions of an old sold.er, whose chief vice was, that havirg honestly paid his debts, he preferred hard cider to t;:e costly foreign wines of Mr. Van Huren.they hissed on their senbhk rs to ridicule his poverty. And terribly ,vaf their lordlv assumption rebuked by . ie people. More fond of foreign broad-coths Bnd beavers thin the homely manufacture of domestic artisan?, they cry loudly against protection, and ridicule home ieauges oi our own people, who, in tho true spirit, resolve to clothe themselves end their fam-

lues m rude jeans. Atul now, at the onset of the present campaign, a similar thrust is made through their organs upon the plain habits of a free and frugal peoThe Huh of January Con venli ei v. as not a convocation of arristoerats. It assembled men most uf whom wore homespun clothes, and who were guil ly of the horrid sin ol carrying mud upon their boots and of wearing hob-nr-ils. And this, it serins is a grave olFetice to the leaders of the opposition party, if we may judge from the following paragraph, extracted from their leading organ, the State Sentinel, and published shortly after the adjournment of the Convertion. It reads i!i us : "The condition of the State House afthe Federal Whig,-? had got through their Convention, plainly shows tho state they

must have been in. Not only tho desks atul tables, but ratlings and window seats. and every place where these Whigs could mount to make themselves conspicuous, are ground ull' and indented with the imii-XAlLS AM) Ml L) with which thi:y we Rt: shod." The hob-) mil tmd mud party, is now the "democratic" substitute for the " hard ciiler" parry of 18 JO ! Well, w e ass. ire these lofty leaders now. that if the hard cider of the venerable and reviled Uakrison soured upon their tender stomachs in 1810, that, in November next, ihey will be doomed to witness the hob-nails and mud of the people grinding forever in the dust all their selfish plans and heartless policies ! And that many an humble, but honest artisan and farmer. though clad in woolsey and wearing mudI dy boot and hob-n a ils. will be found gra'pleg the hand and rejoicing over the Hi ajuration of Uentv Clay.

At a recent meeting held in Heading, I'a., a resolution was offered to the elf-. ct "in the event of Col.

Hugh Lindsay addressed the meeting as follows: "I hope that the resolution my be voted down in spite of the wishes of would-be-pariy leader.". I tell sueh mm that the people will not stand their dictation. It has not come to this quite yet that the democracy of Berks be transferred like sheep.

The Death of a Dog". To die " the death of a dog," is said to be the fate of atiy. unfortunate who has been disconnected by misfortune or misconduct from the symprdhy and charity of his kin. The phrase is familiar i:i cv.ry ear, and its signification is well understood. That dogs do generally die wretch edly is most true; and even the hound of high degree, when his day is over, may go to the dti't as miserably as any " bob-tail tyke or trundle tail" of the canine fraternity. Dogs are generally supposed to die in the gutter, " headed," as we see them in the dog-days, or pelted to death with stones by mischievous boys. Books tell us that dogs, of all the brute creation, manifest clearest intelligence and closest attachment to man ; while, at the same time, it is a received opinion that the death of a d )g is the most despicable exit from heinrj that can be made by biped or quadruped. At some future time perhaps philosophy may find out how far tlie.se facts go to the disgrace of the do. and how far in favor id the magnanimity of man. Tho maslitf, the hound, the spaniel, the shepherd's dog, the harrier, the terrier, thegreyhourid. Ovc, &c. all have their friend and masters during their day of utility; I tit to grow siek or old are sins always to be visited with the vengeance of neirlect. Such being the unhappy fate of the genus canis, there is, perhaps, no sadder image to be called before the mind than the death of a dog." On the 1st of January, 18'27, Col. Wm. Ij. Sublette, accompanied by a famous mountaineer called lilack Harris, started on foot, from the Valley of the Hig Salt Lake, on an express expedition from the Mountains to St. Louis. The story of the whole trip is too long to be, told now, and we only propose to mention one remarkahle. incident of the journey. The two meP took with them no horses, but pushed forward with snow-shoes upon their feet. A'i Indian dog, trained and broken for service, with a pack of necessaries weighing fifty pounds strapped upon its back, was their only friend, assistant, and companion upon this perilous, desolate and unprecedented adventure. Alter encountering suffering, hunger, and hardship, in everv shape tliot winter could inllict upon them in a savage region, they stopped one evening, sick, and tarvi:ig, under ihr-'e elm tr i e-, bv the side of a fo zen Mrramlet, still two hundred miles outride the settlements. The dog was weak ;md sorefooted, out of sight behind, as it followed faithfully and wearily on. Sublette hail brtrelv strength to scrape the snow from a spot, gather his blanket around him, and fall exhausted; while I Hack I i arris broke dead branches Irom the tre'S an I kindled a fire. If the condition of ;he two desolc.le travellers at this moment may be imagined, it muM present a picture worthy of attention. Sublette lay coiled up in his blanket by the side of the little campfire, while Plack ll irris, sitting cross-legged opposite, bent for warmth over miserable blaze, his eve gleaming with strange earnestness upon the poor dog 'hat cams crawling in just as the heaviest shadows of night were gathering around. Harris did not moe, as was his usual custom to relieve the dog from its load. The quintal crawled near the fire, crouched, snd closed its eyes, with the burden still bound upon its back, while Black Harris " did rest his chin upon his clenched hands and smiled," as his eye roved back and forth from the poor, starved dog, to a littie ae cr tomahawk that lav near. " Captain," said Harris, addressing Sublelt1. " Via?'' muttered the worn out man. " The dog." "I say . the dog." Well r Well ! well, then you ain't hungry. I suppose ? I won't say dog to you again," and Black Harris made a miserable attempt to whistle, his wild eye still fixed upon the poor beast that lay near him. " He can't travel any more, any how," said Harris. " Urn?" " O, 0 to sleep, if you've had your supper ; I'm just talking with my friend here with four legs." " Are you hungry, Harris ?" asked Sublette faintly. " Hungry ! O, Lord, no ! I have eaien three full meals in only a fortnight ! why, you're joking me; go to sleep. Caplain, go to sleep ; you have been dining out and indulging ! go to sleep." " Must we kilt the dog. Harris ?" "O, not at ail, Captain; 1 can wait awhile myself, and he'll save U9 the trouuie. ucioro iiiwim' fj . " Urn ?" We've nothing more for him to carry, anv how." ' " O, Lord !"

" And he couldn't carry any thing if we had it. I don't want to kill the dog !"

lit "There's nothing to eat on his bones, any how ; good night. Captain!" 4 Kill the dog ! kill the dog, Harris." s,r:d Sub'eite ; you am starving : I catil eat the llesh of the wretched creature ; but if you can, kill it, kill it, in God's name !" Harris snatched the axe, nd reeled with weakness as he rose to strike the dog. lie struck and missed his aim. The dog rose and looked in his face. lie struck jtfjain. and the blow descended with fearful effect upon the skull of the animal. It fell and rose again with a pitiful howl. ( let up, get up and help me, Captain," '"41 Harris, ' a dizziness is coming over ' -, aid I can't see the brute." "No! no! no!" replied the prostrate man, curling himself up closer and closer in the folds of his blanket. " Get up " repeated Harris, with phrenzied earnestness in his words, ami Sublette rose with sudden energy to assist. The wounded dog had crawled away and lay moaning pileously somewhere in the dark. The two men groped about, blindly, and half crazv with hunger and wretchedness, in seach of it, and at length it was loimd. " Hold it! hold it! cried Harris, as he threw more sticks on the fire to get light. Sublette held the dog, while Harris gave it two more rapid blows upon the skull with his tomahawk, stretching the creMure out upon the blood stained snow, apparently dead. Without pausing an instant the hungry man threw the carcass on to the lire to singe the hair of', when it exhibited lif; again, wriggled out of the flame, and ran madly away ! Bv its own burning hair the traveller traced it, atid, after being stabbed and slabt ed sgiin, and knocked in the head again, the heart yet moved when the impatient butcher opened his prey ! "Sublette returned, sick, to his lied in the snow, but Harris cooked supper and feasted alone, setting the Captain' share aside to serve for breakfast. They both ate heartily in the morning, and with renewed viTor set forward for home. Such is one story of the death of a From die Cincinnati Alias. Ornamental Shrubs. We have been requested by a correspondent to furnish a description of a few of the most desirable shrubs. There are many, such as the Syringa, Snow Berry, and so on, which are too well known to need mention here. LAi;rnv!;:-i. 6isv.s- laburnum, or Gold )i Chain. An elegant small tret?. The leaves are pinnate; the blossoms are produced profusely, in long, pendant clusters, or racemes, near a foot in length, of a bright yellow color, and splendid. One of the most beautiful of ail trees w hen m bloom, and one of the greatest ornaments of the garden. In France there is a new, white -blossomed variety. Dot'r.LK Flowkrinu Cn!-:!ti;v. The growth of this tree is very much lika the White Oxheart. It makes a handsome head, and in the spring is a perfect ma?s of double w'iibj blossoms. At that time ir ts one oi the most ornamental trees 1 know of. Hino Willow. A very curious and singular tree ; the leaves are curled in the f".rn of a ring or hoop. Vl NF.TIAN SlMAC. Jtbus enfinus, Sni'kc or i'Vihug-'' Tree. A beautiful shrub, rising from six to twenty feet, with a round bead; the leaves sre round, and have a pleaant fragrance. The flowers are very striking and bautihd ; they appear in June in large turfs of a purple color. In September and October they change, ?snd appear like masses of brown, silky ftrze. Calycanti;cs. Sweet-Srcnfcd Shrub. A hardy shrub, growing six or eight feet .'2. hedirht. This is not remarkable lor the beauty of its flowers, which are very dark purple; but for their fragrance, which is vjarv spiev and agreeable as is the wood Tartarian, or Tree Honeysucklelied and If'hiie. They grow from six to ten ffet high, and early in April are covered with a profusion of small, fragrint flowers. They make a fine round heal, and the foliage is ricii. 1 1 alsea. tctraptctra. Silver Bell Tree. The blossoms are pendant, of a pure white, bell-formed and beautiful. I'eus! an Lilac. White, and Purple. Crows from five to seven feet in height. The leaves are pointed, and smaller than die common lilac. The flowers smaller, more delicate and agreeable. Spirea. Several varieties. These differ in height snd color, but are almost all beautiful and desirab'e. Double Flowering Almonp. This shrub is pretty well known, and is one of the most beautiful of those which flower early in the spring. Magnolia Ci.auca. This does not grow so large, at least in this climate, as the other magnolias. It hf.s large oblong leaves, and whitish purple flowers, which are very fragrant. - It is perfectly hardy. A i.THCA. Different varieties. A shrub which is generally liked. Cornelian Cherry, ltgrows from six to fifteen feet in height, has a small vellow

flower in April, succeeded by the fruit, which is the most ornamental. Shepokoia, or Buffalo Berry. This shrub is dieeietis, having the male and female flowers upon different plants. They bower early in the spring, and are covered early in the fall with a profusion of red berries. C. W. E. Walnut Hills Nursery, near Cincinnati, ? February, 184 1.

Smut and Rnat in Wheat. Ihe lollowing method of preparing seed wheat, with a view of preventing mat. is recommended by Oliver Crosby, of Maine, who says ha luts practiced it fcr l'i years with complete success. In ono neighborhood the proprietors ci. culai.I it extensively in a hand-bill anorg their customers, and were never afterwards troubled with rusted wheat. 'Wash the seed wheat and drain off the imbibed water through a common basket. In this moist condition put it into a tight tub, long box or trough; and for every bushel so prepared, dissolve two ounces of blue vitriol in warm water, turn it into the wheat, and with a shovel stir it so that the liquid shall penetrate the whole mass. This may be ascertained by the color. The wheat will assume a greenish cast where the liquor has come in contact with it.' An old fashioned farmer of some experience, in writing to the 'Albany Cu Itivator,' savs, 'it should be borne in mind that smut is a very infectious disease; and w heat seed, even after it is pickled, should not be spread out to dry upon a floor, upon which smutted wheat had been previously threshed. Neither should it be put into smut tainted sacks, fur the purpose of carrying to the field.' He savs he has "several times tried the experiment of inoculating seed w heat with smut, after the teed has been pickled, limed, and dried for sowing, by taking a sample of it in hi hand, and rubbing it with the. powder of smut-balls, then sewing it a; art fram the other. The result was, in every instance, smut in the produce of the inoculated samples, and none in the produce of the bulk irom which they wete taken. Smut is a!o sometimes taken to the field in unfermented dung, made from the straw of smutted wheat, of the former year's growth.' Select iist of App. W e copy the t llowing from ibt? Albany Cultivator, being a communication from a correspondent of said paper, and a resident of our state. e hope that Mr. Hampton will become a regular correspondent of the Western Cultivator.

From the best inlormation I have obtained, I have rea-oii to believe that tho Newton Pippin wiil not often come to g "od matunty much north of the list degree ol latitude, except in some wr.riu situations.
