Thus a cominerce,which had spruno . up in 1786 in five years had tigenan important item in the prosperity of Western' PermsYlvanie. To diminish the, proportionate cost of' transportation for corn, rye, and other grains and products, these articles were converted into whiskey, which could be sent to all parts of the world through the great avenue of the Ohio and Mississippi. Thus the value of thous- ands of bushels of these grains were con . tained in the small bulk of a few barrels of whiskey, and an equal quantity was }withdrawn from the grain market.

Tana had been permitted for years.to ob struct and embarrass the river trade, which fell heavy,upon the people of West.i ern Pennsylvania, as well as,upon those of. Kentucky. and .Ctnbcrland, while the commerce of the , Atlantic ports was favor ed with a more liberal' policy; and, as 11 to increase their burdens, Congress, in X 790, had passed a 'my. imposing excise duties upon all spiritous liquors distilled in the United , Btutes i when it was well known, that the most extensive and most import , ant distilleries were those on the waters of the' Monongahela, where the, surplus grain 'was worthless 'unless it could be converted into whiskey and other distilled spirits. Beside these disadvantages, the whole burden of the Indian war, which had been improvidently planned and injudiciously conducted, for more than three years, had fallen chiefly upon the Western settle ments. 'While these things were opera. ting to weaken the ties which bound the WeStern people to those of the East of the mountains, the Spanish authorities of Lou. isiana sagaciously perceiving the error of I the Federal government, lost no opportii- I nity to augment the embarrassments and stimulate the discoetent,while they held in prospect ultimate relief from the Spanish I crown, by 'a separation frOm the Federal Union, and an alliance with Louisana.--; Congress beheld the cloud in the West ; ' the loud murmurs from the commercial classes, the open denunciations from the exposed frontiers, the spirit of insurrection in the grain districts against what they conceived the iniquitous excise, convinced the Federal government ' that they were daily loosing the confidence of the West lern people, and absolving them from their allegiance. The Indian war , ha'd been waged with I but little success for some time, and at great expense to tho General Govern ment. 'lhe war was for the protection of, the Western people especially, and more'. particularly for those of Western Pennsyl vania and •Virginia. These ,petiplo were the principal sufferers from the Indian barbarities and outrages. They, too, were called on chiefly to fill , the ranks of the armies which had been sent against the savages, until they began loudly to com plain of the - burdens which were thrown upon them, while the East reaped the ad vantages of their labors. The Western people, although ardent friends of the, Federal Union, could not submit to oppres sion, by an unjust exercise of Federal power, and tho attempt to enforce it roused `them to resistance. The impost upon whiskey, distilled from grain in a country where grain was a surplus article, was tantamount to a tax upon grain itself, and operated oppressive ly upon the West. In the Eastern coun ties and Atlantic States grain was not a surplus product ; of course, but little of it I could be distilled into spirits; consequently,l the tax fell entirely upon the- Western, people, who were otherwise embarrassed in their commerce. The enforcement of the law for collecting the revenue was con sidered as indicative of a disposition in the Federal Government to usurp the powers of the States towards the formation of a consolidated government, whose controll joy, power should be east of the moun tains. , .

Four of the children slept in the second story. An end was made to get them out of the winiibivs at the gable end of the house, but the fire had made such progress that they could not.enter.

Why is there always a strong draught under the door, and through the crevices on each side? Because cold air rushes from the hall to supply the void in the room c a used by the escape of warm air up the chimney, etc. If you open the lower sash of tho win dow, there is more draught than if you open the upper sash. Explain the reason of this. If the lower sash be open, cold ex . - ' ternal air will rush freely into the room, and cause a draught inwards; tut if the upper sash be open, the heated air of the room will rush out, and of course there will be less draught inwards. By which means is the room better ven tilated by opening the upper or lower sash? A room is better ventilated by opening the upper sash, because the hot vitiated air, which always ascends towards the coiling, can escape more easily. By which means is a hot room more quickly cooled—by opening the upper or the lower sash A hot room is cooled more quickly by opening the lower sash, !because the cold air can enter more freely Ira the lower part of the room than at the upper. Why does the wind dry damp linen ! Because dry wind, like a dr) .uonge, im bibes the particles of vapor from the sur face of the linen as fast as they are formed. Which is the hottest place in a church or chapel? The gallery. Why is the gallery of all public places hotter than the lower part of the building? Because the heated air of the building as cends, and all the cold air which can enter through thedooes and windows, keeps to the floor till it has become heated.

In draWing portraits Of the'distingtiiihed members of the constitutional convention, to pass Frnnk. Pierce onsioticed , 'Woulkbe as absurd as to enEtet ono of thoAramas of Shakspearo without• itspripeipolilipOl give my impressions of the man as I saw him in the Convention; •for I would not undertone to vouch for the truth: pr false hood of those veracious organs of public sentiment at the capital, which have loaded him in turn with indiscriminate praise and abuse. As a presiding officer itwould be difficult to find his equal. In proposing, questions to the house, he never hesitates or blunders.. In deciding points of order, he is both prompt and impartial. HIS trek ment of every member of the Convention was characterized , by uniform' aliirtesy and kindness. The deportment of lx' l ire= siding officer of a deliberative bodY 001- ly gives tone to the debates. Mr. Pierce possesses unquestioned abil ity as a public speaker. Few men in our country better understand the means of swaying a popular assembly, or employ them with greater success. His forte lies in moving the passions of those whom he addressee. Ile knows how to call, into vigorous action both the sympathies and antipathies of those who listen to him. I do not mean to imply by theso remarks that his oratory is deficient in argument or sound reasoning. On , the contrary, ,he seiicis . ivitli great power upon the strong points of his subject, and preset] . tS'thdin clearly, forcibly and olOquently. As prompt and ready debater, always prepared for an assault or defence, ho has few equals. In these encounters he appears to great advantage, from his happy faculty of turning little incidents unexpectedly oc• curring to his own account. A word carelessly dropped, or an un guarded allusion to individuals or parties by an opponent, is frequently converted into a powerful weapon to assault 'by this skillful advocate. He has been so much in office that ho may be said , to have hew educated in public life. He is thoroughly versed in all the tactics of debate. He is not only remarkably fluent in his elocution, but remarkably correct. He Seldom mis calls or repeats a word. His style is not overloaded with ornaments, and yet he draws liberally upon the treasurrof rhet oric His figures arc often beautiful and sinking, never incongruous. Lie isolway* listened to with respectful atieution, if ho does not always produce conviction. From his whole course in the convention, adis in :crested spectator could not fail to form a very favorable opinion not only of his talent and eloquence, but of his generosity and magnanimity. ABOUT RIGIIT The New York Herald hits the nail on the head, in the following extract, and ex presses the views of a vast majority of the people of the country, as the eleciion jil November will undoubtedly prove :-- We have tried the whig party tbr the lust four years, and know that they lire selfish, scrambling, unprogressive party', unsuited to this country of the go ahcal )rineiplcs of our country. pri.. . . ~.
