Tttn (NI-ZVV ADMl1\'lS'I‘R.-\'l'l0N.-ln llle eleva-
iion ofthe Ohio farmer to the chief magistracy,
we shall witness a change in the general conduct
and policy ofthe government. The people will
stand in a different light towards their chiefofii-
car, and vice versa. They will no longer be
looked upon as mere instruments of executive
ambition. As they will be viewed in a more
enlarged and liberal aspect, there will be no‘ef-
fort on the part of the executive to play upon
their prejudices and passions, thereby arraying
one class against another——tbe poor in liosriliiy
against the rich. For such a cottrse there can
big no motive, even though the president were as
full of every species of subtlety and corruption
as the one imposed upon us four years ago.
Gen. Harrison stands pledged to one term, dur-
ing which there could not be any considerable
project for personal aggrandizemcnt carried into
successful operation. He will therefore be iri-
duced to act in good faith from the circumstan-
ces of his position, no less than frotn natural in-
izlination." The policy ofthe government being
raised above any officious medliug in the pur-
suits of the people—they willbe lcftto take their
ovt‘n course to prosperity and happiness. and
\:v.ith_,_a legitimate exercise ofthe functions ofthe
legislative and judicial departments. we shall,
i.“m.y be expected, get back into those old re-
ptiblican paths which were marked outzfor us
by those unfashionable old gentlemen who fram-
ed our constitution and set us under way some
half a century since.
The new Ca.bineL—The New Yorker
says: onwhat it calls reliablea uthority, that
Gen. Harrison has tendered to Mr. lVeb-
ster any position he may prefer in the Cubi-
net which is to be formed on the 4th of
March next, and that Mr. Webster has de-
cided to accept the post of Secretary of State,
that Gen. Harrison's proffer to Mr. VVeh-
ster was made with the hearty approval of
Mr. Clay, who has himself declined all in.
vitations to accept a place in the new Cabinet
in which, however,‘ he will give a hearty
support. For that purpose be will remain
for a time in the Senate, but proposes to re-
tire from public life as soon as he can be
permitted to do so. The post of Attorney
General-has been tendered to Hon. John J.
Crittendeu, Senator from Kentucky, and will
doubtless be accepted by him. ,
' , There are various reports in circulation
with respect to theremaining offices. It is
believed that Mr. Ewing of Ohio will he
profi'ered_ thestation either of Secretary of the
Treasury or Post Master General. Oliver
H. Smith of Indiana is named for Postmas-
t'er General; but it is hardly probable that
more than two Cabinet offices will be tender-
ed to the WV:-st. It is understood that Penn-
sylvania claims the ofiice ofPosmaster Gen-

The reader will find by reference to our ad-
vertising columns, that a sale of 200 shares of
stock in- the Union Manufacturing Co. takes
place on the 23d inst. The degree of perfec-
tion to which the company have arrived in the
manufacture of their patent felt Cloth. and the
increasing demand for the article, must eventu-
ally, cause the stock to yield a handsome per

' Nor DEAD YET !--Mr. George Younzs who
was written down dead and consigned to a
conspicuous place under our obituary head last
.week, is, we understand. stalking up and
down in the earth with all the importance of
life. If this is true, and he has indeed es-
chpad’ old. icy fingers. we can assure him he
owes no thanks to his friends in these diggins
for the boon. We trust he will not feel agriev-
ed with us. as we killed him off in good faith.
We here promise never again to be concerned
in any way or manner with any matter having
the retnotest tendency to the cutting ofi'a moment
of his existence.
iThe Secretaries’ Reports we shall eudeavm
to find room forin acondensed form, next week.
_The discussions which have taken place in
the senate chamber at Washington have elicited

crash. The accident occurred at ten o’clock
or thereabouts, and the fall was t-he weight
brass, lead and glass, at the distance ofsome
fifteen fee-t.f;_'I‘lic fall was a tremendous one-
and the crash like the noise ofa falling house
—the echo of the Hall giving an increased
noise to the fallen mass. Had the House
been in session and the members in their seats
some dozen ofthem must have been maimed
or killed.
The Chandelier was lighted the night
previous, for the first time since Congress
was in session. It was a beautiful piece of
work,—too gorgeous, perhaps, and certainly
too expensive, the cost being about five thou-
sand dollars. 'I‘hcrc were seventy-eight
lamps in it, holding a quart of oil each, and
emitting a soft and beautiful light. . But the
light is out, and it seems in good time, for
an escape so marvellous in such a wreck is
wonderfull. __

Mr, Willis endeavored to mould it after his
doubly exquisite fancies. Its articles are chaste

calculated to meet the approbation of that class
of readers who have mixed a few grainsof real-
ity with their romance—au idea which Mr. \V.
never thought of. As a parlor journal. we can
say without any fears from a disturbed con’
science. it has few equals. Ifitsemhellisliments.
which are ofthe highest order, had less connec-
tion with the stage,it would be no disparagement
to the work in the estimation of us denizens of
the ‘land ofsteady habits.’
A C/i.allcnge—-ic/io’Il take it ?—-Mr. Sam-
uel Palmer of Gosheu, challenges the far-
mers of Litchfield to show a greater or e-
qual amount of produce from any five acres
of land in one piece than he has raised the
past season, from that quantity. The ground
was prepared early. highly manurcd, and
the product was as follows :——600 bushels of
Com in the car, 118 loads Pumpkins, 300
bushels of Turnips and 240 bushels of P0-
tatoes. The potatoes were planted around
the edges and on one side-—the turnips sow-
ed among the corn, and the corn topped in
nips to bring them forward. if any man in
the county or elsewhere; can show a greater
yield, let him send word to this office, and
he shall have the benefit of our columns to
proclaim his superior skill or more produc-
tive land.—-Lite/r_/ield Inquirer.
Changes, ¢§~c.—-The current year will be
noted for political revolutions and changes.
We see the Pacha of Egypt defeated in a
war with four powers of Europe——the King
of Holland abdicating his throne to marry a
lady of his court—The Queen of Spain de-
serting her sceptre to live with her lover in
Sicily—the Emperor oi Austria calling on
his son to share with him the trials of gov-
crnment—-the King of France hazarding his
crown to preserve peace, and perhaps abdi-
cating in favor ofthe Due d’Orleans—Eng-
land making War with Egypt—and the peo-

for the United States Government twenty-
four pieces of light Artillery, of superior
workmanship, as models, together with two
pieces of Flying Artillery, with complete

Body of Na.poleon.—The Daily Adverti-

umet, Captain Shreve, which arrived at this
port yesterday from Canton, left St. Helena
Oct. 21. On the 18th the ceremony of ex-
humation of the remains of Napoleon took
place with great parade. The body. which
on his death was embalmed by French chem-
ists, was found in a complete state of preser-
vation, the features being preserved. It will
be remembered that Napoleon died May 5,
1821.”

was the most perceptible thing in the creation,
yet it is not so. A person on board a ship
under way would not perceive that she had
left the wharf, but by looking upon steadfast

discovered until a late day; and the blood
had travelled the veins of the liurnan species
for nearly six thousand -years before it was
known that it stirred.
