Apples Preservkp Ck.iitein Months. A correspondent of the Monmouth (N.

"They were put into my cellar in open casks; and about the 1st ufjanusrv, 1544,1 ovi rhan led them and put three barrels away, picked in plaster of Paris first a layer of pii-ter, then a Liver of apples, and so allerna tely till the bir rcla were filled.

There arc a few prints, under the control of interested politicians, that still continue to rail out against ths election ot Gen. Cameron as U. S. Senator. These gentlemen profess great love for democracy, while they exhibit but little of its spirit. Wbat right, we would ask, has a self con stituted and irresponsible tribunal at TTarritburg, sitting in secret conclave, to dictate to any repre sentative what course he should pursue in rela tion to his support of any candidate? A repre sentative is responsible to his constituents, and to them alone, for his votes, and is not bound, nor has li9 a right to enter into any compact or com bination, which, in its results, would be likely to defeat the interests of his constituents. When he enters the legislative halls, he is under obliga tions to no man or set of men, but is free to act as may best comport with the interests and wish es of his constituents. He is no more bound to enter into a caucus, than he would be to give his support to a measuie that would come in conflict with the interests of those whom he represents. Yet there are a peculiar class of professing de mocrats, who contend that the people are not to be consulted that true democracy consists in yielding their own opinions to the machinations of an irresponsible cabal, often controlled by the worst of demagogues and interested politicians. Suppose, fur instance, that four-fifths of the de mocracy of a county shou'd be in favor of a man who could have nothing to expect in a cau cus, (and we are not supposing an improbable cae.) by what antbarity, consistent with the principles of d.-mocracy. could he 1 asked to a bandon the interests of his constituents bow his neck to the yoke, and tamely submit to the dicta tion of a set of mn, who had met in secret con clave, to further their own selfish vie s ? This kind of democracy may suit demagogues, knaves, and time-servinz politicians, but will bs utterly repudiated by every honorable minded and inde pendent democrat. Every member is, and of right oueht to be, free to act as be may deem beat for Lis constituency. He is under no obli cations whatevei, to enter into any caucus : and if he does not become a party to the compact, common sense would seim to teaeh us that he is not bound by its decisions. The democratic re presentatives who voted for Gen. Cameron, had no part or lot with the proceedings of this re nowned caucus of 4S members, and were not bound by its mandates. History teaches us that the worst species of povernment is an oligarchy. Athens, in her worst days, never suffered more than under her ' Thirty Tyrants."

Harrisbcko, March 28;h. In the House after the closing of my letter this morning the bill to reform the Judiciary wns taken up. I: consideration occupied the whole of the afternoon session, and only got through, at SO minutes past 5 o'clock. It was passed and ordered to be sent to the Senate for concurrence by a vote of 42 to 40. This bill is regarded as one of the most important of the session, chang ing as it does in a material degree the Judiciary of the Commonwealth. Its main object is to lighten the labrrs of the Judge of the Supreme Court, and to divide more equally the labor be tween the several President Judges of the Couits of Common Pleas. Mr. Conner of Adams, is the author of the bill, and I hive no doubt will re ceive as he is entitled to, the credit of the Hur and the Hench, for this greet measure of relonn.

The unfortunate persons were returning home from Hudson in a small boat, and when opposite to their residence, the line was cast off, and they attempted to row to the shore. The South A meriea coming down at the instant, the night be ing very dark and a heavy wind blowing from the south, ran over the small boat, turning etery soul into the river, and they were drowned.
