THE PRESIDENT AT BUFFALO.
We extract the following, from the ac
count of the proceedings on the arrival of
President Van Huren at Buffalo, N. V. as
given in the Buffalo Republican of the 4:h
inst. The Federal Whigs have repeatedly
charged Air. Van Buren with having been
opposed to the late war we presume thai
all-cavillings on this subject will now be
silenced. Judge Bennett in uddressinii
the President said:

eiples which will satisfy your own coun

To this address, the President made the
following iqj;y, wiiich was received with
cheers from tho multitude who were thron
ged around the court-house:
These friendly and honorary greetings,
sir, from my fellow citizens in Buffalo on
the occasion of my arrival among tiicm,

me in opinion on great questions of nation

been severely agitated during my Presi

and thanks, when proceeding from those
for whom it has become. the duty of a ser
vant of the people to act, and whom it has
been his good iortune to satisfy in all res
pects, are a pleasing and fully adequate re
ward for whatever of privation or sacrifice
to which he may have been exposed; but
Ihey are not more grateful to his feelings
than testimonials of respect for his motives,
proceeding from those with whom it has
been his misfortune, in the conscientious
performance of his duty, to differ upon es
sential points, but who have nevertheless

The Gunpowder Plot. The Whig
press has made much noise about a state
ment made by A. J. Pleasonton to the
committee of the last Pennsylvania Legis
lature, that a plan was laid by Col. McEl
wee, and two or three others ((luring the
1 lai risburg tumult of last winter) to tear
up the rails on a poi tion of the Philadel
phia and 1 Ian isburg road, and in addition
to this to lav a mine beneath. When the
c u s with tho soldiers called from Fhiladel-
phia reached this spot,
ml the cars wcro j
ovcithiown, the mine was to be sprung! rs Several cases of this kind have
and all the soldiers blown sky high ! P!ea-j OC(.llrmi wi,i,jn ,le iasl two or three years,
solium states, that he had it lrom MyE.'V, j;uuj in aniosl cv(-ry instance the most un
own mouth. Tho Boston Courier ( Whig vv(...;e(i eflolls ,.dV'0 been made to shield
paper) says, that "a Van iiurcn paper 01
New York, treats the whole aflair as
hoax, played off by Col. M'Ehvce upon
his fih.nd Pleasonton. Wc have never
believed the statement; but we do not per
ceive that thcieismuch wit or humor in
playing off horxes of this description."
(Nor done) The Baltimore Republican
'-suspects Mr. McElwee must be some
thing of a wag. He has certainly hoaxed
most completely a certain Mr. Pleasonton,
and apparently the generality of the Whig
parlv, nith a story- of an intention to blow
up toe II irrisburg Railroad with gunpow
der." Rich. Eitq.
The Late Gale Gallant Conduct.
We learn from the Ncwbrn Spectator that
14 vessels were driven ashore at the b.ir
near that place, dm ing the late gale. The
crews of three of these vessels were si ved
by tbe extraordinary and unaided efforts
of one man, whose conduct on the occasion
is beyond all praise. The Spectator thus
notices his noble and generous acts:
Wo cannot close our brief notice of the
events of the gale without paying a well
merited tribute of admiration and applause
to Mr. Amasa Styron, for his noble daring
in behalf of his suffering fellow-citizens.
During the latter part of the late gale, and
at a time when others stood aloof from the
perilous undertaking, Mr. S. put off alone
in an open pilot boat, and succeeded in sa
ving the lives of three crews who were in
imminent danger. The first vessel he
approached, ihe Thomas Winn was
sunk, and in so exposed a situation, that
he could not get alongside; the gallant
Styron anchored his boat at a short distance
from the wreck, plunged into the boiling
surge, swam to the vessel, obtained a
"line,,, and again swam to his boat! The
line having been made fast to the boat, the
crew of the wreck warped her alongside,

a j Baltimore Sun remarks upon the matter as
!1 1 follows:
Case of the lev. Dr. Pay. The case
of this gentleman is one of those which
sometimes occur as it were to prove to the
world how little leliance is to be placed
upon professions of goodness, outward
appearance, sanctify of demcanor,titIe, sta
tion, position and standing in society.
When men like him, whose business it has
been for years, not only to point sinners to
heaven, but also to lead the way, arc found
to have been rotten at the core, and to have
been in the concealed practice of the vilest
sort of iniquity in the long catalogue which,
by the vinuo of their office, they are bound
lo denounce; when it is discovered that they
had --stolen the livery of heaven," that in
it they might the more securely "serve
the devil" ihe devil of their own base
passions, then may the true christian stand
agnast at the discovery, and grieve at the
disgrace thus brought upon a good cause
and a holy office.
In the Circuit Superior Court, sitting at
Fredcrickburg, Virginia, last week, the
jury found a verdict of murder in the sec
ond degree in the case of Elizabeth Richard
son, tried for the murder of her one son.
She was sentenced lo sixteen years' impris
onment in the penitentiary.
Singular Circumstance. On Thurs
day the 2Dth, a Mrs. Stone, in Louisville,
lett her child play ing upon the floor, while
she went a few steps for a bucket cf water.
Hearing a scream she turned and saw a
hog running across the street dragging the
child by its foot. By the assistance of
some men who were passing by, the child
was rescued not without some difficulty,
as the animal seemed little disposed lo
give up its prize. The child was about
Jo. AT Vo. 39.
WVherby, of Mannington, lost four valua
ble horses within two weeks past. They
have died of a disease unknown to horse
men in these parts the symptoms were a
sudden prostration of ihe animal, when im
mediately followed spasms and cramping of
the limbs; which only ended in death.
What is most singular, each horse would
eat his food until death."

3" A late London Spectator gives the
annexed appalling description of popular
feeling in England:
State of the Country. Ever newspa
per one opens is full of ihe symptoms of a
feverish stale of the country', ifa civil
war raged in the land, we could hardly ex
ptct to receive from the seat of hostilities
more alarming accounts than such as the
newspapers daily supply from disturbed
districts in the Noith of England. Tumul
tuary risings not mobs of an hour or two,
easily put down byr a magistrate and half a
dozen constables, but riots of two or three
day's' continuance take place, in defiance
of strong bodies of armed police and drag
oons. Mobs have been charged by infan
try with fixed bayonets, yet have returned
to the attack reckless and infuriated. At
tempts have been made to rescue prisoners,
to set lire to buildings, and to stone magis
trates and police to death. Gangs of men,
women, and children, have forced their
way into factories, slopped the works, and
compelled peaceably disposed persons to
"turn out" with them. Policemen with
their truncheons are mere sport for the
populace, becoming familiar with bayo
nets and doggers. And these scenes have
occurred in manvlarge and populous places
and districts Manchester, Rochester, Bol
I ton, Stockport, Bury, Ilevwood, Middle-
I -. . , " .. . , - 7 i i r
ton, Macclesfield, Nottingham, and Shef
field. The judges on ihe circuit are guard
ed, not as formerly !by worthy fanners,
following their landlord, the High Sheriff, in
peaceable procession, but by regular troops.
Special constables are appointed by
thousands and the yeomanry are called out;
but the main reliance is on hussars and dra
goons. In fact, a large portion of the coun
try is at this moment virtually under mar
tial law. Where is this to end?
7i easy, quick, and economical way
lo cure Bacon. Take a hogshead of the
size that may be necessary, say one hund
red and twenty or thirty gallons. Take
out Loth heads and nail a sufficient num
ber of slats inide to hang as many pieces
of bacon as is intended to be smoked. Dig a
hole in the ground, at any convenient place,
two feet deep, and about eighteen inches
wide, in which put saw dust and corn cobs,
kindle a fire and make a smoke; put the
hogshead diiectly over it, hang or tie up
the meat on the slat-1, as many as may be
necessary; cover the top that the smoke
may be kept in, and attend as may be ne
cessary. By the above method, one doz
en or more hogs may be cured in one day
" Southern Agriculturist.
Cramp T'xc a ribbon or a gaiter about
an inch broad, just above the calf of the
leg on going lo bed, and we will warrant
a quiet sleep. The cause of cramp is tho
relaxation ofthc chord sor tendons of the
limbs by active exercise, and a sudden
contraction of the same w hile in a dormant
posture. A fillet or girter, tied smoothly
and but moderately tight just below ths
knee ioint. prevents the muscles from con
tracting too suddenly, and consequently
prevents cramp.
Retort Courteous. Orie of those tin
pcdlerswith which New England is so
much infested, called recently at a ceriam
house, and made the usual inquiry, wheth
er anv tin ware was wanted? A young
lady humorously replied, "les, I should
like a tin side saddle!" The polite young
travelling merchant very courteously' re
plied, "1 have not any on hand, ma am,
but 1 can make you one." Then untying
a rope from his cart, he added, "I will take
your measure, if you please i"
