SALT YOUR STOCK,
t4itiinl un wimoar a stock ort.iT.
Every person is sensible of the good
eflerl ff salt on the human system; we
know now unwhuUome and unpalatablv
fresh meat and vegetables are without
it. It was held by (he ancients injhe
highest estimation. We also know
the avidity with, which animals in a
wild slate seek the saltlicks, and the
d.ilicult'n s ami ilar-gersTlWywii'l en
counter to reach itrem; this cannot a
rise from accident, or caprice, but Troin
a -giverful -instinct, which, b.-yond
rootrol, compels them to seek at all
risks, that which is salubrious.
Horses, cattle, and sheep should be
regularly supplied with salt at stated
intervals at all seasons of the year,
without stint. It promotes their health
ami improves their condition, and
when they become habituated to its fre
(uent use. then1 is no- danger of their
taking such a quantity ot it as to do
them an injury. It promotes diges
tion, ami destroys worms in the stom
ach and alimentary canal. Horses
that are regularly and copiously salted,
seldom or never are troubled with botls
or cholic, and experience has 'proved
that it is as extensively useful to rat
tle and sheep.

THE FALLING LEAVES.
The appearance of the trees in our
city on Thursday morning wa curious
indeed. The protracted rains for some
previous weeks hail given a freshness
and tenacity to the leaves, which seemed
to indicate a late foliage; bnt, on Wed
nesday night, the clear north wind and
bright moon gave indications of a change,
winch, before morning, was most appa
rtnt. Ice was formed of considerable
thickness, and when we looked out. up
on the tie planted by our own hand.
whoe foliage seemed a blessing on our
labors, we found the limbs as bare as in
December, and the pavement covered
thick with leaves.
The ash and maple sent down their
thin, white covering, pale and dry a
the check of death, or tinted nere ami
there with briirht red. like the hectic
hue of consumption.
The thick, fleshy leaf of the paper
mulberry was also carpeting the ground
with its sober brown, and tne aiantnus
had scattered its long yellow leaves.
and was sending- down its skeleton -fin
gered footstalks like pointless and aim
less arrows.
the linden, too, whose loliage was
c rinsed with summer heat. Yielded to
the sudden shock, and its dry, arid
leaves, which a few months sint e were
as green as childhood's hops, a id by
its blossoming sweets had been ths home
of the honey bee, were rattling upon
the ground, or crushed' crispy and dry,
beneath the feet of passengers.
Here and there small clumps of
leaves, a second growth, clung close to
the branches, and seemed to bid defiance
to wiod and frost. Those who look at
the denuded arms of the trees, will see
however, that all is not loint: the incipi
ent bud ha swelled into promise, and
its own f rowtlihs crowdedfroin the
branch thifmnwonriea?, kndzllrar-it
seems that the early frost has but antV

and the fact of the members of the
House being the immediate representa
tives of the people, .it was never
doubted, would give it a pi edomina-
ting influence.
Mr. Madison further declares, fhlf
"the House of Representatives is so
constituted as to support in the mem
bers an habitual recollection of their
dependence on the p'-ople." ,"lt is
particularly essential," says he, that
the reprcsentive branch of the national
legislature "should nave an immedi
ate dependence nn, and an intimate
sympathy with the people." In enu
merating the strong ties which would
bind the representative to his constitu
ents, he remark, Before the s nli
ments impressed on their minds by the
mode of their elevation can be effaced
by the exercise of power, they will be
compelled to anticipate tlie moment
when their power is to cease, when
their exercise of it is tn be reviewed,
and when they must descend to tlie
level from which they were raised,
there for ever to remain, unless a faith
ful discharge of their trust shall have
estab ished their title to a renewal of
it."
In the 7Gth number of the "Feder
alist" it is argued, that the ro-opera-tion
of the Senate in appointments
"would be an excellent check upon a
spirit of favoritism in the President,
anil would tend'greatly to prevent the
appointment of unfit characters from
state prejudice, from family connexion
from personal attachment or T from a
view to popularity;" and the objection
at that time urged, that S itTie :&-'esi'-dent.
by the influence of the power of
nomination, might secure the romp-hrf-"
sance of the Senate to his views,'' was
actually scouted, as supposing "univer
sal venalityin human nature."
The reason assigned for conferring
the appointing power on the Executive,
subject to the confirmation of the Sen
ate, rather than on a special council,
or the House of representatives, or on
tlie Senate alone, was that io every
exercise of such a power by aftassem
bly of men, the appointment would be
ileculed by "party liking- and tlislik
ings." and that the qualifications best
adapted to unite the suffrages of the
party, would be more considered than
those which fit the person for the sta J
tion."
Concerning the exercise of the et
wer, it was ur?.-d by the Trainers of
the Constitution, that '"the superior

The most4curious case of all, how
ever, occurred in Pennsylvania. i.e.
tween Mr. Muhlenberg jt'tl Mr. Wi.lf
both of whom had been members of Con
gress and the latter Governor of the
State, a spirit of rivalry grew up, ami
it became necessary in order to pre
serve the ascendancy of the adminis
tration party in Pennsylvania, that
each should be provided for by the
President of the United States. Ac
cordingly, from the executive chair of
the Keystone State.out of whichjie was
ousted by the people. Gov. Wolf was
taken to Washington, and made Comp
troller, with a salary of Something like
$3,000 per annum.- In due time Mr.
Muhlenberg who had long been a wor
shipper at the Executive shrine.and who
had also been a member of Cul. Polk's
packed committee on executive abu
ses, was rewarded with a mission to
Vienna. The patriotic Gov, Wolf
could not stand this. His lival had
received a bigger piece of the loaf
than fell to his share. "He pouted,"
and there -were sundry giving nut that
he intended to resign and go home in
high dudgeon. Another sop was there
fore indispensable to keep nil Wolfship
from snapping at the Administration.
But how to provyle for him was the

The history of the country may be
searched in vain fur such . "audacious

party in power who sanctioned - them,
whose leader committed them, impu
dently set up a claim to the support of
State Rights men.

The framers of the rounsjitution,
we have teen, thought tlie executive
would be very cautious how he hazard
ed a trial of strength with the superi-
WWeight and influence of Ihe legis
lative body: Ami to lie would, witn
the stern Republican 1 or '98. uul
with the obsequious Ilopub'.if ans of the
present day, he has no need to hazard
a trial of strength. The fact is noto
rious, that even against their convic
tion of duty, th-y stand, with a few
honorable exceptions, - ever ready to
"do his bidding and abide, his cajl.'
The history of the sub-Treasury bill
abundantly proves this. Repeatedly
has this odious attempt by the party to
erect a ninnied interest been defeated
by the Representatives of the people,
ami still docs the executive by his sys
tem of "terrorism, intimidation and
seduction" seek to force the measure
upon the country.
But we must "postpone further re
mark on this interesting topic to a fu
ture day. O ir observations have been
already extended far beyond the
limits" we had originally intended.
The importance of the subject, we
hope, will be received as an apology
for the spaxe we have occupied.

INTERESTING NARRATIVE.
Among tne vessels lost on the Flor
ida reef during the niemorablt) gait
of live 7th and 8th of September last,
our readers may rertiember the brig 01-
ney. Cap'. I nomas. I his vessel, whicn
had left St. Jago de Cuba a few days
previous, with a catgi composed of a
million of cigars, m quantity of tobacco,
and a large numb -r of cedar logs, was
wrecked on Friday, the 7lh September,
about twenty miles to the north of Capo
Florida. She had attempted lo anchor,
but the tempest was so violent that both
her anchors snapped like packthread
and she was driven high and dry on the
Florida shore. The persons on board.
Comprising the crew of seven men, and'
a single passenger, remained in tne brig
in the continual expectation, that the
wrecker in the neiithborhooJ would
come to their relief. Two day after tht
Olney had gone ashore, while the capt
uin and crew were at breakfast, the re
port of rifles was heard. Every ont re
joiced in the belief that assistance was
at hand. U,i ascending the deck, what
were the surprise and horror of these
poor fellows, at beholding the brig irt
possesion of some twenty lerocious an1
well armed Indians, who had cot we tea
on the starboard quarters, and who me
naced . them with immediate death in
case f slightest resistance. The crew
were-totally unarmed, and implicit o
bedience to the merciless savages con
stituted their sole chance of ultimate
safety.
They were ordered by signs to re
move the cigars from the hold and throw
them on the beach.. About one hundred
half boxes had ben removed, when cap
tain Thomas, a bold and irritable man.
refused unconditionally to throw away
any more of hi cargo. One of the sav
ages,enraged at hi disobedience, knock
ed him down with the btt end of his
rifle. This was the signal of attack, a
volley of bullets was immediately dis
charged at the unfortunate commander,
and having been pierced by to rifle
balls, he was hurled yet breathing on
the beach. One of the wretches, perciev
mg that he still lived, sicxed the hatch
barjand plung-d it into his brent, ex
tinguishing exery remnant of life. The
crew were then commanded to go a
shore. Scarcely had they touched the
land, when a second discharge of rifle
was made, by which five were killed,
Of the remaining two, one who had n.
caped unwounded, fled sojast that the
Indians were unable to over'ake him.
The other, Johnson, by name, sprung
towards some low bushes which grew at
a short distance, and having heard that
green branches were considered by tht
savages as a token of peace, fortunately
bethought himself of making an effort to
hate his life spared. He plucked one of
the bushes from the ground, felt on hit
knees, and held it up with sign of sup.
plication. The'savages understood tht
appetl, and he waa for a moment saft.
They gave him an axe, and pointing tt
a amack which was lying at some dia-
iiance on tne snore, bottom upwards, na
was commanded to cut a holt into it.
He obeyed, and the Indian took I quail- .
tity of beef out of it, which they made
him eirry to their encampment, which ,

arrived there, it appeared that tht sat-
