The August Elections. On Monday next the States of Indiana, Ken tucky, and Tennessee will lead off in their elections, and on Thursday will be followed by North Carolina. Our information from each of 'them is good, and leads us to anticipate a cheer fid and satisfactory result. In Indiana, our friends have been active, and consider their chance for a majority in the Legislature good. A United States Senator depends upon the re sult. In Kentucky, all is right. Henry Clay lives there, and his neighbors love him as they do their existence. They say they will elect nine if not all ten of the Congressmen. In Tennessee, gallant, glorious Tennessee, who Mood firm to her ptinciples last fall, when eve ry thing was dor.e to make her swerve, tho campaign has been warm and spirited, and our hopes of triumph are strong. A Governor, Congressmen, Members of the Legislature, &c. are to be elected, and a U. S. Senator also de pends upon the result. Our friends there are anguihe of victory. This is an animated pic ture ; but, we are inclined to believe, not over coloured. The calculations are based upon the Very best information, and if the Whigs but properly exert themselves on the days of elec tion, the result may present even a still more cheerful aspect. The Weather. During the. past week we have bad several showers, which have cooled the atmosphere, and dispelled the excessive heat. It is now comfortable. The corn, potatoes, &c, howev er, require more rain. The earth is still very dry and parched. Texas. The authorities of Texas have officially in formed this government that the Congress and people of that country, have agreed to our prop osition for annexation, and that they now con sider themselves as being under the influence and protection of the laws and authorities of the United States. All her foreign ministers and agents have been recalled, and her diplomatic relations, with other countries, put an end to. The people, are already talking of their new duties as members of the confederation. Gen. Lamar, ex-President, has been named as likely to be one of her U. S. Senators. Small Pickings. George Henry Goundie, of Bethlehem, has been appointed by the President, a9 Con sul to she City of Basle, in Switzerland. A friend informs us that the office is worth be tween two and three hundred dollars a year! Rather small bernos, we take it, for a man go three or four thousand miles to gather to The Warren Murders. The applications of Joseph Carter and Peter "W. Parke, to the Court of Errors and Appeals, of New Jersey, for new trials, were argued last week, but we have not yet been informed of the decision of the Court. Tho Trenton Emporium, of Friday last, thinks that the ap plications will be denied, and the prisoners ex ecuted, at Belvidere, on the 22d of August. We will probably have definite information on the subject, by next week. Icsiportaut to Farmers. - Messrs. Greeley & McElrath, of New York, have just commenced the publication of a monthly periodical, called the Farmers' Li brary, and Monthly Journal of Agricul ture," a work entirely devoted to the interests nl Farmers and tillers of the soil. It is made up of the re-publication of the most useful b'uoks on the science .of farming, and other sen erd; agrieuitural news. Thetiumber Wfore us, is the first, -and gives promise of much useful ness We invite all who have an interest in the advancement of the science, to call and ex amine the number, and see whether they would not like to subscribe for it.. . It is published at $5 per annum, " See advertisement in another column Pully Retime. The Supreme Court of New York has grant ed a new trial to Polly Bodiiio, recently con viced 'of the murder of her sister-in-law, Mrs. Houseman, on Staten Island. Tho new trial will take place in tho city of New York. Fire. The Tannery and Bark House. of Jeremy Mackey, Esq., at Bartonsville, Monroe county, was destroyed by fire, on Monday night last. Loss estimated at about 4000 dollars. The (ire originated, we understand, from a gudgeon or spindle, in the building. The Union officially denies in the most pos itive manner that Mr. Buchanan has resigned, or thinks of resigning, and adds, thai there is no difference of opinion on the Oregon question. HjWe wish somebody would answer us two questions, viz: What is a Democratic Re publican and what is a Democratic Whig? Re publican, Whig, Democrat, we understand these. If a Democratic Republican is not a black black bird, and if a Democratic Whig is not a white black-bird, then how is it? Woodstock (Vt.) Age. We will try to help our perplexed co temporary. A Democratic Republican in Vir ginia is one who framed and sticks to a Con stitution which allows a rich man to vote in ev ery County where he has property and don't allow a poor man to vote at all and insists that Counties containing three-eighths of the Free. Population shall govern the whole Stale. In New Hampshire he allows all while men to vote, but insists that Catholics and poor men shall noi be allowed to hold the more responsi ble offices. In all the South, he advocates openly tho absolute eternal subjection of half the Human Race as chattels to the will and pleasure of the other half, and denounces the Whigs as hostile to the ' institution.' In the North, he is known and boasted of as the 'nat ural ally' of this 1 domestic' business. We agree, then, with the Age, that a Democratic Republican' is a black black-bird very black indeed. A Whig, on the other hand, is a foe of arbi trary, despotic, irresponsible power and a Democratic Whig is, in perfect consistency with this, a foe of the sway of ono man, and an advocate of the rule of the People. ' Dem ocratic Republican'' is tautological and needless ly verbose; ' Democratic Whig1 is a legitimate and forcible phrase, in which no letter is su perfluous or unmeaning. And now will the Age be good enough to tell us what is its notion of a Democratic Republi can champion of eternal Slavery ? Is he a white black-bird or a black white-bird? Let us hear. N. Y. Tribune. We ' Pay for Keating the Poker." Ready and anxious as our Government has been to pay any and every claim that Texas preferred, there were, it seems, a few items overlooked during the Washington negotiation. These were recently brought to the consider ation of our Charge, Mr. Donelson, by Presi dent Jones. Among them are the expenses attending the Election x)f Delegates and the ex penses of the Convention, which-was elected and met to ratify the Treaty of Annexation.' Mr. Donelson of course assures President Jones that, this will be attended to at Washing ton ; that we are so anxious to marry Texas that weuiot only take her dowerless, but in debt, and pay the bridal expenses. All this might be endured if we were " marrying into a decent family," if our betrothed were either beautiful, accomplished, virtuous, or half white. To drop the metaphor, we take Texan with her War. Slavery, Debt, &c, and then pay her travelling expenses, board, tavern and julep bills. If there are any other forgotten items any charge for washing. " mending pantaloons," &c, bring them on. The National Treasury is open to any and all demands made as the price of Texas Annexation. Eve. Journal. Hydrophobia. A horse belonging to Mr. Henry Dietrich, in Greenwich township, Penn sylvania, was seized with hydrophobia last week, and exhibited the most horrible ' symp toms of this fearful malady. He tore the (lesh from his bones with his teeth, and died in ra ving fury. He had been bitten by a mad dog 29 days before. Two other hor.-es of Mr. Die trich's were also bitten, and it is aid that two children of Mr. Quinn in the same township, had been bitten by a rabid dog. The Temple is finished at Nauvoo. Other public buildings now are to go tfp and for them contributions of money, property, and labor will be asked. The rulers are now-planning agreat Hotel, the Nauvoo House.-and thai, hereafter, says the St. Louis Era, wilrbe the subject of their mendicant demands on the body of their followers. ' i ;.. e From the Moiristovvn Jorseyman. Mr. Editor: In your paper of last week, you mentiou having found Vice President Dal las at Schooley's Mountain "enjoying himself with his family at one of the public houses," &c. You say you "were much pleased with his gen tlemanly deportment and address." Doubtless you were, but ask the porter, the chambermaid, and the ostler if they were equally well satisfied with "his gentlemanly deportment and address." Show me a man, Mr. Editor, moving in high life who will haggle with the porter about car rying his trunk as I understand he did in this town and who is generally tyrannical and ex tracting to those who are below him. I say, show me such a man, and I will show you a mean contemptible fellow. Pray, can you inform your readers who is the personage alluded to, in the following article, which appeared in the New York Tribune, about the same time of your notice of the "em inent functionary not quite the most eminent:" "Democracy Exemplified. An eminent functionary of the. United States (not quite the most eminent) was lately called on by a poor mechanic for the payment of a bill for work done. " Why you are in a great hurry lor your money !" was tho frowning reply of the exalted Democrat; " havnU been to the. springs yet!" So he kept his money to go to the Springs with, and the poor devil mechanic may get potatoes for his children as he can. The same eminent personage recently stop ped at New Brunswick, on his way to seek re laxation and pleasure in the cool shades of Schooley's Mountain, and the landlord whom he honored with his patronage bustled about in great excitement to gel up a superb dinner for his illustrious guest. . The news of the advent spread like wild fire, and the head men of 'the party,' gathered in to feast their eyes on digni ty and push forward their claims to office. The great man called them affably into his room, opened his trunk, took out his demijohn, and treated them all round without troubling the house for any thing but glasses and ice water. Before dinner was quite ready, the carriages for Schooley's Mountain drove up; so the din ner was left Uneaten; but the greal man gener ously tendered the landlord twenty-five cents for his trouble. The landlord boing a Whig, declined the money the honor of entertaining such company was enough for him. jDeaiSi from a Leech. A young man in England was kicked by a horse in his right arm. Medical assistance was procured, and leeches were ordered, four of which were applied to the wound. In a short lime three only of them could be seen, but it was supposed that the fourth bad fallen off, and had got away. The deceased was the follow ing day conveyed to the hospital. The wound and arm soon began to swell in a most unac countable manner, when the house surgeon ob served there was a slight discharge of matter oozing from the orifice. He deemed it prudent in consequence, to open the arm, when, to his surprise, he found the missing leech enclosed in the flesh and quite dead. The leech must have crawled into the orifice of a very small wound in the arm, and it could not be seen. After the leech had been extracted from the arm, the deceased went on very well for a week, when symptoms of inflammation of the veins ensued, which terminated with death. Ii is the opinion of the medical attendant that he died from the effects of the wound having been poisoned by the presence of the leech within it. The Morris-Town Jerseyman, of the 23d instant, say The storm of Monday of last week was felt in different parts of the country. At about the same time Mr. Donald (not Mc Donald, as we before slated) was killed, a tree in front of the house of Mr. John Stiles, on Mor ris Plains, was struck, the Lightning running down the' tree and killing a hog near by, and thence passing entirely through the house. The dwelling of Mr. Dicke, on the road to Dover, was also struck, and much injured. The hick ory tree in front of the tavern of Mr. James II. Woodruff, at Flanders, was much shattered by the lightning on the same day, and a man who wus setting on the stoop a few feel from the tree, stunned by the shock. We have never heard of so much damage being done, during a single storm, a was on Monday. Yesterday morning we were again visited with a violent storm accompanied with much thunder and lightning. .We hear that a valua ble yoke, of Oxen belonging to Mr. Nathan'Hor ton of Stanhope, were killed during the storm. Molasses! is used in Holland for fattening cattle, and its. use h recommended in England. One hundred thousand dollars has been sub scribed by citizens of Lancaster, Pa,, for ihe erection of a cotton factory in that city. A Missouri Judge They have quite an original way of doing. - . y.tt : 4 1 ....... :.. . 1.1 .l lOingS OUl III Missouri. n. goon aiuiy 13 miu in ono Judee-AMen, )ore familiarly known as Horse Allen." He determined at one time to administer the law in due order, for the pun ishment of certain offenders, and accordingly the sheiiff, jury and witnesses were assembled; the first order of the court was to "strip" and Mo to work, and raise a court house this was done with a few logs, and the court was open ed, when a remark from some one called down the indignation of the judge, and he ordered business to be suspended for fifteen minutes, and going up to the disturber gave htm a terrible whipping. He then returned to the bench, puffing and blowing from the exercise, and rising ; " People !'" said he, " 1 am here to adjudge the lav.', and administer justice, by thun der! If you care any tiling about civilization, I'm ready to give you a touch of it. As the sheriff and his officers are not enough, here am I single handed and if any one says he aim satisfied, I'll adjourn' the court again and give him a chance!" It is hardly necessary to say that the etiquette of " Horse Allen'.-." court was never infringed after that. A Parent's Right to a Child. A trial was held before the Supreme Court, at Northampton, 'last week, Judge Dewey pre siding. It seemed that a man named Wells, losing his wife, had given one of his children to Mr. and Mrs. Nash, of Amherst, to bring up as their own. A change of circumstances in his family created a desire on the pari of Wells again to gel possession of his child, and a writ of habeas corpus was sued out for thai purpose. After a long array of evidence, and looking to the good of the child, Judge Dewey decreed that it should continue under the protection of its adopted rather than its natural parent. Green, the Reformed Gambler, is lecturing at Cleveland. In a speech at a Temperance meeting he gave ihe following answer to one who asked him where he received his- educa tion : "Born a Buckeye, raised a Hoosier, took lesson in Cincinnati Jail, studied and practiced gambling for twelve years on the Mississippi, and graduated in Texas." A Large Family. Doctor Leipsius, who is now in Egypt, says that the rich Hassan Dey has forty-two wives and one hundred and ninety-seven children. Preserves. It is said that to set newly made preserves for several days open in the sun, is one of the best methods of making them keep through the summer, unfermented. It is worth trying. Recovered.--A paragraph recently appeared in the newspapers stating that Mr. John Clay, youngest 6on of the Hon. H. Clay, had been confined in the Lunatic Asylum, ai Lexington, for insanity. The indisposition which affected Mr. Clay was temporary, he entirely recovered in a few days, and is now perfectly restored to health. A Strange c!asion. A London paper says, that a ATr. Tucker, who was lecently under a commission of lunacy, de clared of unsound mind, is firmly convinced that he has several men in his inside, who are complete masters over him, and that, unless he does what ever they wish, his death will be the consequence. He believes that they have five machines, which they can set to work at one time, so that he is afraid the violence of the motion would shatter him to pieces. They will not allow him to move without paying an enormous sum, and for the walking to the inquiry he conceives they charged him three thousand trillions for every step he took. The United States and France. We learn from the Washington Union that an additional article to the convention for the surren der of criminals between the United States and France, of the 9th of November, 1813, was con cluded and signed at Washington, by their respec tive plenipotentiaries, on the 21th day of Februa ry last ; which additional article, being in the English and French languages; is, word for word, as follows : " The crime of robbery, defining the same to be the felonious nd forcible taking from the per son of another, of goods or money to any value, by violence, or putting him in fear; and the crime of burglary, defining the same to be, breaking and entering by night into a mansion house of an other, with intent to commit felony, and the cor- t resnondinfr mimesi inp!mlnl unrtor tl,n ft D " 4MUU1 U1U J. I law in the words vol qualifis crime, not being cm- braced in ihe second article of the convention of extradition concluded between the United States of America and France, ort the 9th of November, 1813 it is agreed by the present article between the high contracting parties, that persons charged with those crimes shall be respectively delivered up, in conformity with the first article of the said convention ; 'and the present article, when ratified by the parties, shall constitute a part of the said convention, and shall have the same force as if it had been originally inserted in the same." White Children among the I:idi;i: A correspondent of the Arkansas Intelligencer makes the following statement in reference to ihe white children among the Camanche Indians " In passing the Cherokee Agency a few Hays ago, I saw at the Agent's premises, a white bar of peculiar appearance and manner, particularly when conversing, or rather, when attempting t0 converse. On inquiry, I learned that he had been purchased by a Delaware Indian from the Ca manche Indians last winter, and left with Gov Butler about six weeks ago, perhaps purchased br him. He is about 12 years old, dreadfully sun, burnt, and speaks English but indifferently. e is hard featured, and, it is inferred, was captured whilst very young. His account of himself is that his name is Gillis, that his father's name w.is called Mr. Doyle, that he was taken on the Colo rado, at Houston, (doubtless Austin.) that Ins fa ther with four other white men were out quamimr rock (he here made a circular motion by wLiph was meant stone to grind corn,) that two ck three of the men were killed, and that he saw hw father escape on a fast horse. He further states that with the same band are 11 white boys, "Ji. ricaus," and 4 girls. The boy was, I am toli much cowed, but by kind treatment, he now breathes freely and tries hard to talk " Menem " The poor fellow is not an Adonis in person, nor a Chesterfield in manners ; walks like a foreigner His passion is for fishing, eating, and playing oa the Jews harp will, it is said, sometimes stu., catching to play a tune.

A couple of removed Custorn-Iiouao ouicc-;. were standing on a Poverty Corner, the th r day, according to the Tribune, talki-.g of their forlorn condition. One of them was vehement and boisterous, while the other seemed dispostj to take it easy. At last the latter said, etposiu latingly, " What i3 the use of going on so m. friend Why not die decently V " Diederen' ly !" exclaimed the other ; " how is it possible for a man to die decently under such a miserable u--nasty .'" The N. Y. Tribune says' that not less than ??i thousand of our fellow-citizens have this yearle : the fertile prairies of the Great Valley to encoun ter the perils and privations of tho tedious over land journey to Oregon. Cure for Dzarhcea. A cotemporary says: Even after all o:hpr remedies have failed, a certain cure for it wi I be found in rice water. Boil the rice, take the water, make it palatable with salt, and drink it copiously while warm. We never knew tin simple thing to fail. American Cutlery. The manufacture of fine cutlery is coming u great perfection in this country, and has mdee 1 already reached it, in various establishments vx the United States. There are several in success ful operation in Maine, Massachusetts and Con necticut. There is also one at Auburn, New j York. Speaking of the latter establishment, the New York Courier tells the following anecdote: " Some very superb cutlery was displayed upi a public table in this city, which became the ad miration of the gentlemen seated around it, amor.;: whom was one from her Majesty's dominions, who was particularly struck with the beauty an' high finish of the knives and forks; remarking o an American, as he was bound as a loyal subject to do, that he supposed of course the woik wa English. . I presume so, says the latter, for I derstand it teas done at Auburn. The Ejrg Trade. Hundreds of barrels of eggs are purchased n Canada and taken through Lake Champlai.n k: the Southern market every season ; and sometime efforts have been made by the " Egg men" evade the Custom-House laws by "wrong counts. etc. A few days since, forty-one hundred dozen were seized by a Deputy-Collector at Whitens.!. for a false entry. They were immediately soid a auction, as, " perishable goods," and brought W sum of $3G0. The Whitehall boys can revel m " Egg nog" for a month, at least. Plattst' Republican.
