At the commencement o f the war fn Flor ida, there were among .the Indians, many slaves who had esc'apea from their masters in .Florida tind Georgia, and taken refuge in the everglades, ! arrd thickets with the Indians.\ In most cases they were more blood-thirsty and desperate i n their attacks upon the whites than the aboriginals [themselves, and when- eyer a settlement was t o ie'burnt, o r an oul post attacked, they always led the van , nnd.,' bizine ? s r wlieri y o,rcotne . to hug .down to th e 'if successful, wo to every man, woman o r naked reality on't.

When I want To use 'Ihem, I put them u p on my^stove in a large pot or kettle, 'let lllem ba- uu juat luny enough to take the frost out of ihem an d feed] them to th e hnga-waini. Some people only tutn warm water on Ihem and thus take out the frost. Boiling or thawing ihem takes t\ha .sour neea or acid all out of them/and renders them mere palatable and nourishing. I give each hog one-third e f a pailful o f apples at a time, three limes a day. If I fed thamon potatoes, I should give them'nearly »a many in quantity, a »l d o tipples ; therefore, I think a buslial of apples is worth nearly a s much for hogs aa a bushel of [.potatoes. liULtny opinion that oty formers with apprehension for th e fate of ull they hold dear, let those wh o behold an d lament th e desecration of all that is holy—lefrulers whose counsels ar e perplexed, whose plans ore baf fled, whose laws are violated n r evaded, lea them nILhnnw tlint wlfittftver of- ill they fear -friend**^ \ Spanish varmint, that Mexico, any mornjn' '* A Mtcanopy chief callea^reTWoliTmTd\ ^bTe^fl ^etrrTnmtois ^^^l ' one fair daughter' about sixteen years old, remarkable for her beauty.

ANECDOTE OK OLD IRONSIDES.—The most brilliant naval action of tho la *t war undoubted ly was thai o f the old American ffigate Con stitution, 44, commanded by Commodore Stewart, when she captured tw o British cor vettes, Cyane nnd Lovant, of greatly superior force, each o f them being rquul to (he old faithiuned 32 gu n frigates.

The movetnenls-of parties and acts o f pnrty men are generally Miiilerstoiul to be naturally di visible -into two classes—Those wTiich tuny pro perly and profitubly be made the subject o f public discussion, .and ilmse which may not be. We arc determined, u t least for this ontnvif not to repu diate this distinction altogether^ at an y rnle t o enlarge considerably the scope usually allowed to such discussion. That the Wbl»j pnrty might and «nmtfrl-bave-| elected the whole ticket this day , it may aeem superfluous to state. That we .bad (he best |cjuise,-will not he disputed by Whigs; that w e had, on the whole, by far the best candidates, is hardly questioned by an y body. The Locnftico ticket was notoriously composed in pood part of J unfit, incompetent and unpopular, men. It wa s a very ban ] ticket fur intelligent, considerate men to swallow; nnd thousands o f that parly utterly refused lo be dragged lo the Polls (o vote it. Hundreds who vo.teil it erased a good share of tbe names. NalMsm though palsied and dying, was slill pealilgnt and mischievous, and contrived fesscdly great, it is commended by the utter ab- Sence 'of merit and fitness in l}ie principal ticket op^sed to it. The Tw .eja .ty Thousand Whijr* of New York are called on t o decide whether they wiM be represented an d legislated for by DAVID B. ODDER or Jonathan V. Stevenson. And what is their response? A faithful few ans wer a s Whigs and Patents ahuuMj but a far greater number turn upon their hetj at the querist nnd exclaim, '^~'Fer-do7re^ith-foNtics-—hnnit~ all your W-higs and Loco-For.osl How'a Flour to-day? U Cottcmlively? Wbal'a the look for Morris Canal or Caniim ?'» Now tye beu; leave must res'pec'fully to asmiraa these gentlemen that they /iuv< not done Willi Publics,»gnd cannot HO renounce tbe tibhxutiouj 61 FreemeJ,:—Tlnnwward—wl tvhst a little handful of Quakers it was, who The lawyef •Ultra so' positively (u-uss'ureil,|had riinde -8t )eh-a-rr 'eroendou6 -«(ir-: nvrftry small. \montbjy meeting it>'a log house.

Had the Whigs shown a gnml from in their preparatory meetings, had they seemed to be in good force nnd in good heart, and had thirtv energetic Whigs appeared a t and about each pull at 'sunrise and thill number been kept good by successive reinforcements,, w e should have carried our whole ticket. And-ythis brings us right to the point we meant lo discuss—ihe Dbties-aCCitizcns of a Republic with respeot to Politic:) nnd parlies. We say Citizens of n Re public, for we deem it clear that those who sec fit to live in a Republic do , by that very fact, tacitly assume, and morally pledge thcmsrjv.tfa lo discharge, Ih e proper and lull responsibilities of Citizenship. If any prefer another form of Government, here in Canada—a very good spe cimen of Limited Monarchy—within tw o days' travel on one side, and Cuba—n rare example ofj thorough despotism—hardly terfdnys' sail in an opposite direclion,.wiih every variety of palpable antPvIrlual monarchy all arpund -tMs— With so many chances lo gratify ihe nicest appetite for any of those forms of Governine 'trtAvliich assume to think for and watch the People, instead of| being watched and guided by them,Hve hold that every conscientious man, whatever might lie hi« abstract notions of Government, is morally h -iund. if he choose to reside in a Republic, to discharge faithfully and thoroughly those .Political-duties which ar c devolved upon 'him by the Law of the Land. Ifthe Gmslitution has invested him .with the Right of Sum-age, lie cannot innocently ne glect or refuse to vote at a lawfully appointed election, any more lhan he can refuse to pa y hra taxes or disregard the most imperative in junctions of Law. Bui lot^us look at the matter iff the light of good Faith, or in view of Ihe requirements ofj that 'Honor' which is v said lo be deemed sa cred even 'among thieves.' A large portionof| nur'people professfo re_gard the principles o f the Whig Party as sound, jast, and eminently calcu- batlle jumps into a pit and lies shivering till tin: the contest is over—the traitor who guides «u invading army through th e intricate mountain- palhi which lend across Mhe barriero of bi*> country—the caitifl* who sells his wife o r his friend for a ba g o f convenient coin—has just a s good a right to art a s he does, saying he ha t |done with' Patrioti-tm o r Honor, a s any Elector in a Republic has to neglect or decline the du» cJiarge of bis electoral duties ou tbe pleit that ha has-done with Publics.

It is a very common complaint, among th e class w e ar e no w oddressmi?, that our Electioua are conducted and controlled hy office-holders, office-seekers, rowdies, ignorant foreigners, black guards, &e. S o far as this is founded in truth* we consider it highly creditable to tbe classes last named, hu t most disgraceful to those wh o remark it.
