In short, instead of encouraging foreign importations, as our present revenue -laws now do, and shipping our gold-.fo Europe as fast as it arrives from California, to pay for these importations, we must have a tariff .which will encourage home manufactures and create a home market for our farmcFs.

Here, then, are ten distinct, unequivo cal, wilful falsehoods, for which there is not a particle of excuse or palliation. It was not the intention to tell the truth. It was the design to make assertions that were known to be. false. How the locofocos of this county reconcile their countenance and support of such a vehicle of untruth; with .their self-re- spect we cannot divine, The Herald might have added to the list of Judge Jessup's reversed opinions that which he crave in the case of Post vs Adam's. The Supreme Court held that a nominal plaintiff, although he had no interest in the cause, ,., a. i. .1. i i:4.:c? presided, and this affords a sufficient guaaan- ty tnat erroneous decisions have not been suffered to pass uncorrected." In Pike and Mon roe counties, Messrs. Ueeder, Porter, Dim mick and Davis were the leading counsel when Judge Jessup presided there. In Wayne county, the late lamented Fullers Thomas and Amzi with Wheeler, Dimmickv Miner, Crane, Waller, and other keen and sharp sighted lawyers were'at the "bar during Judge Jessup's administration. In his present dis trict there arc in Luzerne county, Collips, Conyngham, Kidder, Woodward, the two Wrights, and McGlintock in Susquehanna, count', Case, Lusk, Bentley and Richards, and in Wyoming county, Brisbane, Little and Peckham.

Both of Increases of Calder vs Chapman are in :the Philadelphia District, havinn- been decided there in December last. In the twenty-one lines, therefore, that we have copied from the Herald there are no less than twelve palpable untruths. How falsehoods can be packed closer wc cannot imagine. Bit hy a Rattlesnake. . ' A son of Mr. Edward Hulsc, of Dingman township, while ploughing in a field nearliis father's house, was bitten by a rattlesnake, just below thc knee. The boy endeavored to capture the animal for the purpose of ap plying its flesh to draw the- poison from the, wound; but failing in this, he went directly to the well, made a hole near the curb, deep enough to admit the lowest part of his leg. He then drew up some water, poured it in the hole, and mixed a quantity of the soil with it. After he had arranged matters to his entire satisfaction he laid himself down on the ground, placed his wounded leg in the hole, and remained in tins situation until about "nine o'clock at night, wlien his parents, who had been absent, returned, home and conveyed him in the house. They however continued the same treatment, and strange as it may appear, the next day he was again " up and doing." Pi'Ae County Democrat.

Looking at our specie basis, we are eve rywhere weak.

Water, heated to the boiling point yields a power of fifteen pounds. This fluid, with the same heat, would yield a power of nearly 12,000 pounds! And what- is more, a handful of charcdal, and a boiler the size of a tea kettle, will produce, at an expense of a few cents, the whole of this tremendous energy! Fifty dollars expense in carbon would carry one of the Cpllins steamers from New York to Liverpool. CJieap Postage. At the Albany post office, bofore the passage of the new postage law, the aver age number of letters mailed per day was 1,660; of which, on an average, there were prepaid 400, or about one-quarter. Last Monday there were mailed 2,513, of which 9G4 were prepaid by stamps, and 065 by money, or about two-thirds. This, the Tribune says, is about the same ratio as, is shown at the post office in New York city. A2)soiiiu Slaves.

J?rom the South, too, we have accounts of this plague, but not to the extent as in the States mentioned. , The clover fields in various parts of Hunterdon Cpunty, (N.

The leaves are eaten off, leaving the stalk bare; and in many fields, it is thought the seed is entirely destroy- cd. Duckwheat has also been attacked by them, and the leaves and blossoms eaten off. Other singular freaks have been performed by this insect, in various ; parts of the country.

It. states further that, upon the receipt of the intelligence, measures were immediately taken to as certain whether any of the persons so summarily put to death by the Spanish authorities were American citizens, and if they were such, by what evidence their guilt of a crime deserving so sanguinary n. tiunishinent was established, as also to ascertain the facts in relation to the al- . tt n. . ...... ?i leged firing upon the unitea otates man teamer Palcon by a Spanish ship of war, and how far this proceeding, if in contraventicm of our national rights, was authorized or approved by puplic author ity, and that for this purpose Commodore Foxhall, A.
