We cannot but interchange with our readers hearty congratulations on this auspicious result.— The entire life and character of Franklin Pierce afford the amplest guarantee that in his hands the destinies of our common country will find n safe depository. 110 comes into power at that period of life, when all the faculties of the mind are in full and unimparod vigor. Having never himself tmigfil the Presidency, but being railed, like Cin clnnallus of old, from the shades of retirement to assume the helm of State, he is the instrument of no clique or faction, and is freo to administer the duties of his high office fur the mutual benefit of the Coonthv, Ho bungs with him, 100, a char acter for integrity and singleness of purpose, un •potted by a single stain. I/e lias resorted to no mean subterfuge, to beguile his countrymen Into his support—but relying upon their patriotism and intelligence, he has calmly awaited their verdict, never doubting that it would be in accordance with right and justice. The country has not disap. pointed him —and lie will not disappoint the court try. The republicans may now repose in security upon their laurels, and even our political enemies may glean comfort from the reflection, that we have given them a President, who will administer its affair* upon the pure principles promulgated by JifFERSOK and Jackson. "I Still Lit*.” —The dying word* of Daniel Webster ere said to bsvo been, a* lie srouaod himself momentarily from ths lethargy of lui exhausted con. dllion, “ J Slill Lief.'” Word* of greater significance could not have been uttered.

In n short time, the passengers in the cabin, and the officers of tho boat, were startled by the report that tho cholera, in its worst form, had broken out on dock. On going bolow, they found that Iho castor oil was doing its work. Tho bag lay oiposod, and a large pot-full of’ this rsro delicacy steaming hot on tho table.

Mr. Williams, Mr. James Baxter Thompson, to Miss Emilt J. Black, alt of Harrisburg, i YrtmTel Webitei We are indebted to ihe .Boston. Courier for the following particulars relative to Mr. Webster’s death: ~j. The last hours of one so beloved as he whoso earthly'cafOor has just closed anqid so many cir* cumslahces of consolation were of the same oven tenor as all : tho rest. The public orb already, in formed of the chief features of that deeply inter* esting scene, up to the period when Mr. Webster desired to take.leave of ad who were in the house. One,by one, in deep sorrow, but sustained by his own great example, the members of his family and the friends and'attendants came in and iook leave of him. He'desired them to remain near his room, and more than once enjoined on those present, who were not of his immediate family, not to leave Marshfield till'his death had taken place. Reas sured by all that his every wish would be religi ously regarded, he then addressed himself to his physicians, making minute inquiries as to his own condition, and the probable termination of his life. Conversing with great exactness, lie seemed to be anxious to be able to mark to himself the final f etiod of his dissolution.. He was answered that t might occur in one, two, or three hours, but that the time could not be definitely calculated.— “ Then,” said Mr. Webster, “ I suppose I must lie here quietly till it comes.” The retching and vomiting now recurred again. Dr. Jeffries-offered to Mr. Webster something which ho hoped might give him easd. ‘‘Something more, Doctor, more —I want restoration.” Between 10 and 11 o'clock, ho repealed some what distinctly the words “ Poet, poetry, Gray, Gray.” Mr. Fletcher Webster repeated the first line of the elegy, “The curfew tolls the knell of parting day.” “That's it, that’s it,” said Mr. W., and the book was brought and some stanzas read to him, which seemed to give him pleasure. From 12 o’clock till 2, there was much restless. I ness, but not much suffering. The physicians were quite confident (hat there was no actual pain. A faintness occurred, which led him to think that his death was at hand. While in this condition, some expressions fell from him indicating (he hope that his mind would remain to him completely un til the last. He spoke of the difficulty of the pro cess of dying, when Dr. Jeffries repeated the verse —“Though 1 walk through the valley of the sha dow of death, 1 will fear no evil, for Thou art with me; Thy rod and Thy staff, they comfort mo.” Mr. Webster said Immediately : “The fart, the fact. That is what I want; Thy rod, Thy rod; Thy staff, Thy staff.” The close was perfectly tranquil and ea«y, and occurred at precisely 22 minutes before 3 o’clock. The U’Donogh 'Will Case* Tlio New Orloma Delta, roforriog to Clio litigation growing out of this case, etys : “John M’Donogh was himself a man of great ex pcrienco in law, ho had boon in Iho courts Irom Ins first start hero, and seemed to take u delight in liti.; gallon ; ho was constantly in close communion with the ablest of our lawyers, Pur nearly thirty yours 1 bo was continually consulting and advising with John R. Grymos, Edward Livingston, Christian] Roselius, and other ominont juris consults. The I darling thought—lho great lending idea of his iifo— I was lo lio up his property, in some sort of perpetuity. I fur Iho benefit of some charitable instituinns. His 1 passion for accumulation—more than any real plnl 1 antropy— dictated this plan. Ho could not bear the 1 idea ol his propotty being divided, oven after death.) His chief pleasure in lifo was tu dwell upon Us ac- ' cumulated value in years In come, nnd his estimates | and calculations embraced decades, centuries and ■ epochs far in the distant fu'U'O. This was Ins (a , nalicism— liis ambition It was a purely sc I fie li one. ' The idea of charitable institutions was merely inci dental and subordinate lo the grand plan of creating - 0 perpetual and inalienable estate—a vast monopoly 1 in onr community which would have been a cur«e. 1 rather than a blessing, to our people. To gratify tins passion, his whole life was one uninterrupted disra-I I gard offlll the lies and claims of a humanity for l . which his will expresses so much lender concern ; We never believed in the sincerity of such profess ions ; and we should esteem it no great misfortune ! if the will were set aside. Wo can scarcely imagine ] I a greater evil than the existence of a vast Potato, like 1 that of M'Douogh'B, inalienable in fee simple, only 1 . subject to the temporary occupation of tenants wlio I would have no into reft (n repair and ban utify* property of which they arc nut the owners. Such a disposition , would transfer the rune of Girod street—where the 1 miserable hovels of M'Donngh hnvo been a portion ol 1 for the last twenty years—to many other nuisances . our city and Stale."

Amongst the thousand deceptions passed , off on our shara riddciwaco; lot, mo direct your attention to the deception of dignity, as it is one which includes man; others. Among those terms which have long ceased to have any vital moaning, the word dignity jtfeßortes a disgraceful prominence. No word has fallen so readily as this into ibo designs of cant, inn posture and pretence; nono played so well tho'pari of verbal scarecrow, to frighten children of all ages and both sexes. It is at onoo the thinnest and roost of- I feclivoof all Iho coverings under which duncedotn I sneaks and skulks. . Most of .the men of dignity, who awo or boro their more genial brethren,.aio simply I men who possess (he art of passing off their insensi bility for wisdom, their dullness for depth; and of concealing Imbecility of lololloct under naughtiness of manner. Their success in this small game is ono of Iho alorcoypted satires upon mankind. Once strip from theso pretenders their stolen garments— onco disconnect their show of dignity from their real meanness—and they would stand ehivetingand defenceless, objects of (he (ears of pity, or (argots for the arrows of scorn. Bat it is tho misfortune of this world’s affairs, tiial offices, fifty occupied only by talent and genius, which despise pretence, should be filled by respectable stupidity and dignified empti ness, to whom prcteoco is Iho very soul of life.— Manner triumphs over matter, and throughout soci ety, politics, letters and science, wo arc doomed to meet a swaim of dunces and. windbags, disguised as j gentlemen, stotesmen and scholars. Coleridge onco saw at a dinner table, a dignified man with a face as wise as tho moon’s. The awful charm of his manner wus not broken until tho muffins appeared, and then the imp of gluttony forced from him llib exclamation, “Them's the jockey's for mo!" A good number of such dignilorions remain undiscovered. It is curious to note how theso pompous gentle men rule in society and government. How often do history and tho newspapers exhibit to us the spec tacle of a heavy headed slupidjtarian in official sta tion, veiling the strictest incompolcncy in the myste rious sublimity of carriage, solemnly trilling owny the interests uf tho slate, the dupe of his own übsti nato ignoronee, and engaged, year oficr year, In ruining a people after the most dignified fashion ! You liavo all seen the inscrutable dispensation known by llio name of the dignified gentleman ; an embod ied tediousness, which society ie apt not only to 10l orate, bat worship ; a person who announces the stale common places of conversation with tho awful precision of ono bringing down to the Valleys of thought, bright truth plucked on iifl summits; who is so profoundly deep and pain r ully solid on Iho weather, the l ist novel, or some oilier nothing of the day; who is inexpressibly shocked if your eter nal gratitude does r.ot repay him for the trite * rrntion he consumed your hour in imparling, and who if you insinuate that this claim, contented, impurtu rsblo stupidity, is praying upon your patience, instantly stands upon his dignity, and puls on a face. I Yet this man, with just enough knowledge “to raise j himself from the insignificance of n dunce to the \ dignity of a boro," is still in high fsvor even with . those whose animation ho checks and chills whv B Cause he has, nil any. so much of the dignity of s 1 gentleman! Tito poor, bright, good ndurid min. who has done all in his power to bo agrees bio. joins [ in Hie cry of praise, and feelingly regrets that nature has not adorned him, too, with dullness ns a robe, so t (hot ho, likewise, might freeze tho volatile into re spect, and be hold up ns a model spoon for all dunces > to imitate. This dignity, which so many view with [ rcvcrcnliiil despair, must have twined, "two at a birth,” with tint ursine vonily mentioned hy Cole i ; ridge, "which keeps it«elf olive by sucking the paws 1 of ns own self imports nee." Tho Duke of Somerset j was ono of these dignified gentlemen. His second (wife was tho mo*t beautiful woman in Englmd. ' She onco suddenly threw her arms around his neck, | and gave him a kiss which might have gladdened llhc heart of an emperor. The duke, lifting his i shoulders wfth on aristocratic square, slowly said. ' 'Muditnir, my first wife was a Howard, and she never i would hove taken such a liberty.’— Whipple, AI’.NT II BTTT ON M tTH I MONT. | N'iw. girls, said Aunt Hetty, put down your cm broidery ond worsted work.dii something sensible, and slop building air castles and talking of lovers and honey moons : it makes mo sick l it's pcrleeily ; onl 1 morai >|.

It induces a distaste for labor end ac tivity: it lulls to ignoble rest in ’the lap of circum stances; it allures to float along with the stream, instead of tho healthful labor of stemming the tide of difficulty; and he had need be something more than mortal who.can possess much ot this unearn ed money without being (n his moral nature some what paralyzed and debased. • Naturally rampant as are the weeds of sloth and sensuality in the ho.* man heart, that condition in life in which (here \4 not only work to be done, but work which mnsV 'be done, will bo the safest and the best.

ELECTION KB 111 NO ABUSES. The Washington correspondent oflho Now Orleans ricoyun?, in conncclion with some remarks on elec tioneering ahuocbs, lolls the lollowing story: I will lull you an anecdote of (ho '’good old limo" of IBUU, in Pennsylvania, when (he animosity uf party rancorous feeling of Federalists against Uem , ucr.us was even greater than it is now between the parties of (he day, when the spirit of bitterness in . the contest was not confined to the political charac ; ter or even personal hie ol prominent men, but inva ded the sanctuary o( their homes and retailed (he 'petty scandal, real or inure oltcn invented, uf the domestic circle, j In those days tvr h,d a very wealthy ri iten and politician, yclept Simon Snj d«. r, Simon Die tanner. , Now, Simon was a good man, and a rich man ; a j (aimer and a Democrat; he had frequented ward ' meetings and played the secretary and the cha irntsn; ' then he became a member ol the Legislature, then ' spen kcr, and fiuu Ily but 1 moat nul ant icipalc. [ It was a raw and goaty night, Irom which you will I infer tint the wind whistled und the rain pattered; 1 little children huddled close to I lie hearth stone ; the Cal coach drivers—alas fur the jolly dogs of theffd • good old days ! 1 could almost find u in my heart to | run every cub “olTthe track,” if it were only to re vive the race of amusing loquacity onco more—but , toned on an extra overcoat, took un extra ’horn,' and I drove their bays with a fury that seemed to bid defi ance to both Mind and weather ! U was on "such a night” that Simon's most excellent wife—we did’nf say hdy in those good old days, neither did Wash ington Irving, a low years he wrote Ins his Sketch Book— his wile sit comfortably by the blazing hickory—shall I ever sec such a fire once more 7—and gradually lapsing into a sort of surprise : ns to what could have become ut her excellent hit*- band —that's a homely phrase fur these modern days ; I why should not a lady say my gentlcman 7—whoso habits were, to tell the honest trinh the more regular from the pi >cid bond of affect ion that existed between Ihcrn.
