It was not rniny daye before eqtiire P. received a very polite uota from Par son O. requesting him to attend a meet ing of the church, and many of the Par isb, el the south conferaara room, in or dcr to eeule eorae difficulties with one of the church meutbers, who, in order to clear up ber character, requeatcd equire P. lo be preient.

Accordingly the hour of meeting came the whole village flocked to the room, which could not hold half of them. All eyce were alternately on the equire and Suaey B . Mia.

The Parson, in a eoftcn ed tone, aod in aa delicate a manner aa poisible, elated ihe etnrr about Susey B which he observed was in every body's mouth, and which he did not himself be lieve a word of: and squire P.4eing call ed on lo atand aa a witness, after painting lit lively colore the evils of slander, with which their village bid been infested, and particularly tite church, ca'led on aunt Lizzy in pretence of the church, to come out and make acknowledgement for violating a Bible oath! Aunt Lizzy'a a pology was, that she only told Deacon iJnipe'a wife ou'i; and she took an oath that ahe wouldo't tell any one else on'b Deacon Soipa'a wife it sppeara had sworn Roger Toothuker's aister never to tell nobody elie on't. And so it went through the church, and from thence through the village. The equire then acknowledged, before ilia whole meeting, that he had, as he told aunt Lizzy, slept with a church member hall to Bos'on, and he believed her to be one of the likeliest of their members, inumuch ae ehe never weald heir nor retail Slander. All ejei were now alternately turned on Suiey B , and aquite P'a wife; aunt Lizzy enjoyed , fc( a f a,t5(,,,CiI uiuniph, which the s..y.fc. i, s.i.h. vouire no aooner perceived then he finish ed the sentence by declaring that the church member to whom he alluded was hit own lawful wife! Aunt Lizzy drew in her head unasr a huee bonnet, sa a turtle doee under his t,eil, and marched away in one eorner tif the room, like a d.e ihit hid seen killing iheep. The iquire, aa uiual, burst out into a fit oi laughter, iu which Ins w ifs.

CURSORY THOUGUTS ON THE ISSUE OF THE LATE NATIONAL ELECTION. Enough hae now been heard from the Electoral College! of the several states to mike it certain that a very large majority of the votes of the Electors have been ac tually cast for William Henry Harrison for President, and John Tyler for Vies President, of the united States, in con fortuity to the purposs for which the Electors were chosen by the votes of nineteen out of the twenty-six stales, snd by a majority of about one hundred and buy thousand votes ol tue body oi the People. In no rge or country has a more em phatic, explicit, aud unbiassed expression of tba sovereign will ever been pronounc ed. That wo regard this judgment render ed by the omnipotent voice of a mighty people ae a redemption from imminent danger of the principles of the conititu lion, and of representative government, we need not declare to our isiders who are familiar with ihe arguments by whfcli but recently ws endeavored to enow tin expediency and the necessity of the chance of administration which his thua been brought about. Ws rejoice in this result not merely as the triumph of a party, (though to that coaaideration we do aot pretend indiiler eaco.J.but atthe meana of restoring the foiernmnt to the track in which the w m . a aa.a Uthers ot the constitution pueea ana oaa ent it, and from which, under Ilia last an I present administrations, it has wide Iv deDirted. Without point over sgain ground which we liava so lately travelled to point out aach deviation from right for which we expect this change of rulers to prots corrective, we rejoiee that u will, as . i . i & i i or .i ws connaentiy ocucvo, oruan ou uie whole crowth of fungoue excrescences on the trunk or our political ayatem which have multiplied and increased lo such a bulk that those who lately have been and are yet charged with the admi' nisiration of th rtvernmeut have actual ly mistaken the parasite growth for the sound wood ot tue constitution iweii. The accomplishment of this extirpa tion of the errors which have crept into the povernment will of itself constitute s noliucal leieKcration. As one ot the consequences of the re formation to be effected by bringing back ihft government to its plain snd obvious duties, we reioice especially that the re g ulttinn of iha currency will have been restored into ihe hands of Congreaa, to whom, under ihe Constitution, belong! the power to lay and collect tixes, to borrow money, to coa money aod ecu bllah its value, to regulate comma ee ia a word, ail fiaaoc'ul power; and thai as s conaeqsenee, there will be aa and to sub-treasury kgialatioa, to bard-money doclriaea, and to executive experiments ea the currency, the daily bread of in dustry and the life-blood of commerce and enterprise. - Wo rejoice, also, most sincerely, that (be obioue error of tba representative body, by which, st its last eearion, the eoasu-ution was flagrantly violated ia the j mew jersey election caie, ass ceea ng Daily rebuked by the voice of the sove reign people of the Union, as well ss by the particular states whom it must nearly affected. The deci'ioa of ihe House ia that eaas (had n been seqniesced in) was the beginning of dis snd" of the Union. The consequence of an unchecked eue evasion of such practices, it cannot but be plain to the uaJerrsnding of every thinking mas, meat bave been fattl to ail the hopts which are embarked ia i a ex istence, or dependent epon iu duration, r It la a aubject of gratification that the revolution which has been effected ia the councils of the coaatry was preceded by s full, fair, sad fres - diacuaiion of the principle st iiaur; sod that. thoughJ much sgeacy is deubuers sttnbuuuie to the personal and political merits of oar candidates for tba two first offices is the government, it was mainly apon greii public principles, well defined and uni serially understood, tbal this election tumid, snd was decided. We feel aome pride, alio, In bcinr able conscientiously, to avow ths opinion that lbs success of ths Whigs sad Conserva tives in this contest is in part owing to their baring very generally left lo their adversaries the use of ths wsapons oi cs umny, personal detraction, vulgar epi thets, and foul language relying, in pie ference, apon arguments addressed to the intelligence sad practical good senae of the people. The result has approved their judgment in thia respect, aod bss tanght s Useful lesson te all who suppose that they adapt their discourse so ins ea- pacnj ami temper or tue ooay oi me peo pie when they sddress Ibetn in ths lan guage of Bedlam or of Billingsgate. It is s reflection, which muat be cheer ing to the heart of every one who places sjuit value upon our He publican Uovern ment, that the reault oi the late election demonstrably shows ths futility of some ol the apprehensions which, at the lime or lis eatabluhmest, were seriously en tertained, even by its fnsnds, tor the eta bility and duration of oar system, by rea eon of dangers supposed to be inherent in iU The most important of the problems V:.L . a-. ... .T : wmwu cmorvu into me vany uiscuuiun of the plan for a consolidated union of the statss was perhaps that which waa founded upon the extent of territory snd ths diversity of interests proposed to be embraced by it; a problem afterwards rendered more interesting, snd certainly not less difficult, upon the extent of the territory or the Union and Us varieties of soil and climate being almost doubled by ihe acquisition of Louisiana. I his dan ger, however, which the politicians of the old world seemed especially lo regard as insuperable, has been dispelled by time, through the means of settlement. cultivation, snd self improvement, most happily aided by the march of science within the half century which has elaps ed since the adoption of the constitution. Another of the great problems to which we refer, viz: whether aome one great atate of the Union would not before very one become ihe Athena or Some of our system, and dominate by the power oi ne hembera and wealth over the rest of the Union, ie satisfactorily settled by the evidence furnished, by the recent elec tion, that alrsady ths great alatee havs found equnls in physical power in states grown op in tcrritoty in which when me Union waa formed, not a furrow naa been turned by the plough. Virginia, the an cient Dominion, ths mother ol states, finds herself already overmatched in fe deral nuinbera by young Illinois; the for mtr. sending twenty one Representatives' to Congress, having given 84,223 vntee for Electore of president snd Vies Pre-j sidenl of the United Stales, whilst the; alter, lending only tnree Kepressnutiveij to ths prsient uongren, eait 93,013 voles for Electors. Ohio, alio formed out of wild Territory, treads closs upon; the heels ol rcnHsyivania. the next ol the; ihree largest lUlei, and will aoen range, alomide of New York, thenow greatest' atate of the Union. The introduction,! ia our day, of a new and powerful che mical sgent, in the lorm of eteim, hn realized the table of Ancient History, ac cording to which Hannibal ovsreame the impediment of the Alps by the sid of firs snd vinegar. Time end space bo longer consiitute obitaclea to the moat frequent, eonitant, and rapid communi cation between ataies which, when thie Union waa formed, were in effect more remote fiora one snoihsr than ths port of N. York now is from any country up on the wateraof the Atlantic. The Moun tains are levelled, and the Lakes and Ri vers have become high waya, along which the whole West pours upon the East its teeming products, and receivere in return J together with iVeir ra ana fact ores, roast. lose emigrants from orepo and from the oUer etatce, who are boitdiag ap the ae w states into strength and greaiaeae wiib a rapidity aaexampled ia the history af the world. There ie no longer aay daw ger taht any eta'o ia the Uaioa will ver beeeme "the Empire State, bowt ver willing ber sister may be to allow her, eat l courtesy, la retain the tide which bae been assumed for ber. Another problematic danger loiheU ion, which the rrsuliof ibis election ha gnoa very far to dissipate, ie that wbicb wae apprehended from the dissaufaetioa of the smaller etatea at their want of iss portanee in tur political system in coos parisoa wi.h ths three great etates, whose enHiperaiioa in any purpose, fi wss sup posed would hardly lad to secsre its ae compliabmcni, ansogre ths opposition of a. decided mjiriiy of the leser sta'ee; Besides the prospect of emancipation from thia thraldom by the growing eqial ityoi rank or the junior la the elder atales, tha small r at.tes of the Union have found out. by the event nf the Ine election. lht they ran actually m.ke a Prvsideht ol the United States, nut only wit'ioul the help f ihe great elates, but if airessary, in despite of their combined opposition. Oue of the llyac greet alatee did aetsaliy vote against the President sad Vice President elect: but if the otb er twa bad'done the earns, aa examina tion of the voies will shoo thai Ilarri son snd Tyler would jet hats been a lectfd by e evjirity of thirty electoral votes. But the sspect of ihe late election (and tie incident) in which the contemplation of it has afforded ea the moat unmixed pleasure, is ihe additional evidence which it affords af the efficiency, order, snd beauty of ear Kepuhlicsn inniiutions.and of iheir superior adaption to the wants snd habits of a free people?. In vain shall wa look over the face of the eirth in vain shall we ransack ths snnals of his lory, sncient or modern for. the exam pie of a nation in which such sn enure political revolution could be hoped to be effected, in -in.U hy-tli impl expremon ol opinion by three millions of voters, not only without ths shedding of s drop of blood, but without distuib ing ths course either of pub'ie or private affairs, and without occasioning any thing like a aerioua tumult or riot at say ons of the five thousand or mors elsciioo districts into which our twenty aix etsles its divided. When we behold the mlr ia which our eeveral atales, like the pla nets which gem tha vaulted sky, inde pendent ssch within its proper sphere, harmoniously revolve st stated periods a rounds common centre, admiration of the glorioua spectacle, each si that which we have juat wiinesied, is superadded in ths profound veneration which we habi tually snterlain for the wisdom and fore east of our forefathers, iie grrat ereators: l'hoe potent word, Lile the Wud trumpet, levied tint Iheir pow era.
