BRISTOL COUNTY DEMOCRAT.
SCHOOL LIBRARY.
The Legislature of Massachusetts during its session in 1837, authorized by law a certain expenditure for the purchase of a DISTRICT SCHOOL LIBRARY. The Board of Education were instructed to superintend the publication of the Library, and no volume is accepted unless approved by every member. Some of the most talented and distinguished men in the State constitute that Board. We need only name, among others, Gov. Davis, Edmund Dwight, Robert Hallowell, Jr., and Jared Sparks. It is hardly necessary for us to say that under such supervision no volume will have a place in the Library, if it should be unworthy that honor.
THE LIBRARY will embrace two series, of fifty volumes each; the one to be in 18 mo., averaging from two hundred and fifty, to two hundred and eighty pages per volume; the other in 12 mo., the volumes averaging from three hundred and fifty, to four hundred pages. The former, or Junior Series , is intended for children of ten or twelve years of age and under; the latter for individuals of that age, and seniors ,—in other words, for advanced scholars, and their parents.
Twenty volumes have thus far been published, The last—OLMSTED'S ASTRONOMY—is now before us. It is a 12 mo., executed on beautiful paper, with very fair type, and bound with great taste and neatness. Of the work itself we need not speak. The name of Prof. Olmsted is sufficient guarantee of its value.
MARRI, CLAPIN, LYON, and WEBB, of Boston, are the publishers of the Library.
So much has been said on the subject of popular education for last few years that no new suggestion or new mode of uttering an old suggestion seems to be left us. Yet, until the great public mind be thoroughly and perfectly educated, it is a subject that must be kept constantly in view. It must be thundered upon the public ear again and again; for, though the remark be trite, and insipid from its very triteness, it is, nevertheless true, that education is the guardian angel of the republic, and that no republic can exist without it. Our forefathers, with eagle-eyed foresight, saw this, and coeval with the establishment of the government a movement was made for the education of their children. Had this point been forgotten—had the minds of their children been permitted to run riot—our national fabric would now have been the footstool of unnumbered despots. The French Revolution never would have terminated so disastrously had the mass been educated. Moral power would have taken the place of the guillotine, and mercy the place of cruelty.
Mr. Adams, the second President of the United States, thus bears his testimony.
"I am a friend to all rational measures for propagating knowledge among all classes of people. I seek success to the project of free libraries. A Republican government, without knowledge and virtue, is a body without a soul."
Mr. Jefferson thus gives his view of the paramount necessity of the diffusion of knowledge, in a letter from Europe, to a distinguished citizen of Virginia.
"By far the most important bill in our own code is that for diffusing knowledge among the people. No other form of foundation can be devised for the preservation of freedom and happiness. MAKE A CRUSADE AGAINST IGNORANCE; establish and improve the law for educating the common people. And without going into the monitory history of the ancient world, in all its quarters, and at all its periods; that of the soil on which we live, and of its occupants, indigenous and emigrant, teaches the awful lesson, that no nation is permitted to live in ignorance with impunity."
Upon this subject, Mr. Madison is equally enthusiastic.
"Throughout the civilized world, nations are courting the praise of fostering science and the useful arts; and are opening their eyes to the principles and the blessings of representative government. The American people awe it, in themselves, and to the cause of free government, by their example. The tabula rasa, for the advancement and diffusion of knowledge, that their political institutions, which are attracting observation from every quarter, are as favorable to the intellectual and moral improvement of man, as they are conformable to his individual and social rights. What spectacle can be more edifying, or more seasonable, than that of Liberty and Learning, each leaning on the other for their mutual and sweet support."
In this connection we cannot refrain from giving the following surpassingly beautiful quotation from an Address by Bishop Doane, of New Jersey:
"We utterly repudiate, as unworthy, not of free men only, but of men, the narrow notion, that there is to be an education for the poor, as such. Has God provided for the poor a coarser earth, a thinner air, a paler sky? Does not the glorious Sun pour down his golden flood as cheerily upon the poor man's hovel as upon the rich man's palace? Have not the cots of the children as keen a sense of all the freshness, verdure, fragrance, melody, and beauty of luxuriant Nature, as the pale sons of kings? Or is it on the mind, that God has stamped the imprint of a baser birth, so that the poor man's child knows, with an inborn certainty, that his lot is to crawl, not climb? It is not so. God has not done it. Man cannot do it. Mind is immortal. Mind is imperial. It hears no mark of high or low, of rich or poor. It heeds no bound of time or place, of rank or circumstance. It asks but freedom. It requires but light. It is heaven-born, and it aspires to heaven. Weakness does not enfeeble it. Poverty cannot repress it. Difficulties do not smother its vigor. And the poor tailor-chandler's son, that sits up all the night, to read the book which an apprentice learning him, left the master's eye should miss it in the morning, shall add new provinces to the domain of science, shall bind the lightning with a henson cord, and bring it harmless from the skies."
But we must close our quotations and return to our starting point. The Publishers of the School Library have incurred a very heavy expense in the publication of the twenty volumes already issued.
Many of the districts have not, as yet, made any appropriation for this object; and it is a fact that more sales of the Library are made out of the state than in it. These volumes are of immense value, and should be read by all the youth in Massachusetts.
Will not the friends of education in Bristol county—and we have many such—look to this matter? Who will make the FIRST MOVE?
POLICY OF THE WHIGS.
The course now pursued by the present opposition party in Congress, gives some singular indications of the course they will be likely to adopt, when they have grasped the power.
They are in favor of a distribution of the fourth installment of the surplus revenue among the States—of scattering $7,000,000 to the four winds, from a treasury which they assure us is already bankrupt. They are also almost unanimous in support of Mr. Crittenden's amendment to the land bill, providing for the annual distribution of the proceeds of the public lands, upon the same principles.
Having stripped the nation of its resources in this manner, what costs do the whigs propose to replenish the empty vaults of the treasury? Money must be had. With a prospect of war with the powerful warlike nation of Europe, they cannot be so insane as to leave the country entirely destitute of the means of defence. What then will they do? They will establish, if they can, a Great National Bank, which in any emergency can take the benefit of the Government's credit, and fill its treasury with paper.
They will also establish a new tariff, imposing onerous taxes upon the people, and compelling them to pay the Government, from 20 to 50 per cent. for every article of foreign production they have to buy.
The Bank question has been sufficiently discussed already. But how will the people like this last piece of policy—this distribution for the purpose of preparing the way for new taxation—this taxation to pay the expenses and provide the means for future distributions?
Let them illustrate the matter, by their own affairs, near home. What would they think of voting a distribution of $1000 from the treasury of any one of their towns, when the result of such a distribution would be a new tax to raise the same amount, together with 25 per cent. more to pay the expense occasioned by the foolish operation?
Similar to this in point of expediency, but worse and more injurious in its effects, is the policy of distributing any portion of the revenue of the Nation among the States, when it is actually wanted to defray the expenses of the Nation.
What interest can the poor man have in such a policy? The whole operation is calculated to sponge him out of his earnings, to pay the taxes of the rich and replenish the empty purses of speculators. The money received for the public lands, if suffered to remain in the treasury, would assist in the discharge of the expenses of the general Government. Take it from the treasury and distribute it among the States, and the deficiency must be made up by a tax raised principally on the necessities of life—a tax of which the poor man, worth scarcely $100, often pays as much as the rich man worth $10,000. The benefits derived from the distribution of the money, are by no means of a corresponding character. It will be applied by the States, to relieve their own internal taxation. Under our State system of taxation, the rich man's $20,000 pays, or is liable to pay, $10 in taxes, where the poor man's homestead, with only $500 pays $1. The application of the distribution policy, then, will operate upon the two cases we have imagined something as follows.
Considerable expense will attend the distribution. It will take at least $45 to place $41 fairly in the treasury of any town in this State. This money is applied for town purposes, or state purposes, and so far as it goes, renders taxation unnecessary. The poor man saves a tax of one dollar, and the rich man saves a tax of forty dollars, by this application of the money.
What next? Why—the same amount of money must be raised by a tax on imports—on teas, and sugars, and cloths, and every thing we eat, drink, and wear. Instead of being raised by a tax on the rich man, that very property consumed as large an amount of these articles per annum as the rich man. If he must pay precisely the same amount of duties, towards making up the $45 taken from the treasury for distribution, and the $5, which will be the least sum that will pay the expense of collecting and returning the money to that treasury.
The difference from these facts is plain. The rich man will make $16 by the operation, and the poor man will lose $34, nine dollars, or nearly one fifth of the whole, having been worn out, by the working of this newly invented machinery, contributed to cheat the poor for the benefit of those who had held the treasury.
This is the necessary result of the distribution policy, for which Messrs. Clay, Crittenden and the whigs in Congress are now contending. This is a sample of that disregard for the interests of the poorer classes, which notwithstanding all the log-rolling they have troubled about the country, and all the "high wages" harangues they have made at the corners of our streets, characterizes the leaders of the whig party. The country has fallen for a time into the hands of usurers, bankers, and political gamblers. May God send it a safe deliverance—Hail to N. H. Patriot.
RAISING WAGES.—One great argument used by the whigs in the late political campaign, was the assertion every where made, that the moment Harrison should be elected, wages of all kinds of labor would be raised from ten to fifty per cent. Many poor laborers doubtless believed this story and voted accordingly. Well Harrison is elected—how is it with wages? Instead of being raised they have been reduced. In some instances, our whig manufacturing establishments have made large reductions in the wages of their operatives, since the Presidential election. There has evidently been a mistake. There is another word in the English language, which sounds precisely like raise, but has a very different signification. The whig orators might have meant, that the election of General Harrison would raise the wages of labor. If so their pledges are likely to be fulfilled.
MISTAKEN OR NOT, they have got themselves into difficulty, by their careless and inconsiderate pledges on this subject.
The Providence Herald says, that the workmen of Mansville, R. I. have struck for the increase of wages, promised them by their employers before the election, in case it should result as it has resulted. Instead of fulfilling their promises, these same federal employers, have actually cut their wages down to the same rate and then lower than before.
RAISED, we imagine, the true word, which the people have been using after all. Hereafter when the people hear whig orators promising that wages shall be raised, they will be compelled to believe that they only mean that wages shall be cut down.
Let the promises of these men be remembered, in all the inuendo which they have been spread abroad for the people. A constant recurrence to those promises taken in connection with the shamelessness with which they are destined to be violated, will satisfy every candid man of the dishonesty of the political demagogues who have used them. General Harrison has proclaimed the principle that "the people ought to resist the government." They will watch it, and watch it closely for four years to come.
A wakeful regard to the feelings of others is a leading principle of true politeness.
MISCELLANY.
[From the N. Y. Journal of Commerce.]
A NATIONAL BUTCHERY.
We have been thinking of the matter of supplying all the people in the United States with meats, and it seems to us that it is one which deserves the attention of the National Government. The subject is one of vast importance, and is now utterly at loose ends. The supply is left to the mere volition of drovers entirely irresponsible to any body, so that every citizen in this city, and every other city, is left without the least assurance that his supply may not be cut off at any moment. We have got along under our present system, or we might more properly say, total want of system, better than might have been expected, and much better than we fear, will be the case hereafter. But there are now great wrongs which cry aloud for a remedy. There is not a little meat of old cows which is attempted to be palmed off for good beef; measly hogs are put up as good pork; animals which are diseased and even which die of themselves, it may be of hydrophobia, are dressed and "blowed up" and sold for good and wholesome viands. It is even stated on good authority, that there are regular sausage makers who supply themselves with raw material from the worn-out horses which the omnibus owners turn off to die, and the small bits of woollen cloth which are found on the tailor's shop floors or the old clothes bought by New-Jedders. It has ever been stated, and many judicious people believe it, that cats have been sold in the market for rabbits and dog meat for venison. What else could be expected while Tom, Dick and Harry are allowed to issue beef, pork and mutton at their pleasure? The ignorant poor are the severest sufferers by this loco loco way of doing things; for they have less knowledge and less power, and are always made the prey of the crafty. If things go on in this way, and they will unless the government interferes, there is no telling what frightful evils may come upon us. Suppose for instance, and the thing is not at all impossible, that some drover from the West, with his flock of cattle filling all the road, should fall upon a kennel of rabid wolves or dogs which, flying upon the cattle, should inoculate the whole herd with the deadly virus of their fangs. Would the drover ever tell of the incident? Not he. On the contrary, he would carry his cattle on to Bull's Head, when foaming with fatigue and madness, they would be sold to the butchers, and the next day the whole city would be unsuspiciously dining upon their flesh. What the final effect would be, we forbear to tell. Then suppose the drovers should, through mistake or design, drive all the cattle and sheep to New Orleans under the influence of a momentary high price there, what would be the danger to all other parts of the country? As we go, now, there is plainly no certainty that there will be any butchers or drovers. Indeed, every thing is entirely uncertain, fluctuating, fitfully irregular and irresponsible.
Now if government is not designed to provide for such an emergency as this, we ask what in the world it is designed for? This matter takes hold of the very life and existence of the people. If the people all starve to death for the want of meat, or are poisoned to death with bad meat, there will be little for government to do afterwards. It is with these views after the little reflection we have given to the subject, that we have determined to lend our feeble efforts towards the establishment of a NATIONAL BUTCHERY, to regulate the whole matter. That Congress has the power to establish such an institution, there can be no doubt. We argue the existence of this power in Congress from the following considerations.
1st. It is impossible that the wise and benevolent men who framed the Constitution, could have forgotten or neglected so important a matter as this, especially as they had just emerged from a war during which there had been one continued series of derangements and disorders in the supply of meats, so that even the American army were at times totally destitute. They were also reminded, during their deliberations, every day at dinner of the absolute necessity of means for the support of legislation.
2d. But there is no need of relying upon this argument. The framers of the Constitution did not fail to place in that instrument the requisite power. They gave to Congress the power to "regulate commerce among the several States," and what we propose is only the regulation of a portion of that commerce. The power to "fix the standard of weights and measures," includes what we contend for by the most natural and necessary inference. No one will doubt that these weights were designed to weigh meat, but in order that meat should be weighed, meat must be had, and a national butchery is the only sure way of securing this end. A law, therefore, for this purpose, would come under the authority to "make all laws which shall be necessary and proper to carry into execution the foregoing powers."
As to the plan and structure of the National Butchery, we would make it just like a National Bank. There should be a mother butchery in New York, with branches in all the States; and we would copy from the laws of New York the plan of Commissioners, whose business it shall be to examine, once a year, at least, and as much oftener as they please, each branch butchery and each flock of cattle. There should be subordinate commissioners who should examine the system in its perfection over all the States, so that a complete record should be kept of every calf, lamb, pig, chicken and gosling, which should be added to the stock, which returns, being all brought together at the mother butchery and then published once a month,
would constitute a basis of calculation, like a statement of specie in the bank vaults. The growth and supply of meats under such a system, would be something tangible. Cattle would then be more evenly distributed than they are at present; for the report of the branches would always be a sure guide in this respect.
In order to establish this system in its most extended benefits, it will be obviously proper to prohibit all private slaughter-houses; for we cannot too earnestly urge upon our readers the great danger there is of fraud and deception,
when trusts so important are left to be exercised by private and irresponsible individuals. We shall never have a well regulated meat market throughout the country, until our plan is adopted. This is the newest American system, and certainly the most important of all measures of this class; for in its benign operation, it will distribute good beef, good mutton, good turkeys, good everything, in fact, through all the garrets and cellars of poverty as well as the palaces of the rich. The details of the matter will furnish an exhaustive fund for reports and speeches in Congress and the State Legislatures. Parties will be formed under its banner, which will shake the nation to its centre, and make us President of the United States. But for this we are not a rush, our object being solely the good of the people in the largest sense of that term.
Every body will see what we mean by this remark. It is not to throw derision on the opinion that regulation is necessary in currency. Yet in all soberness, we have no doubt that regulation is quite as much wanted in meats as in money, and that if only we had been brought up under a system of regulation respecting food, we should have thought the arguments used above quite conclusive in the case, and should have been more afraid to trust free trade for beef than we are now for currency. In either case, great regulating establishments would produce endless mischief, and as the effort at regulation is utterly wrong and pernicious, it can never itself be regulated or modified so as to possess any other character.
EXTRAORDINARY LAW CASE.—A person of some standing in this city as a merchant, in the general bankruptcy of 1830 lost the whole of his property, but since then, by collecting what was due from his debtors, and by the assistance of his friends, had again commenced business under favorable auspices. One of his creditors, his own brother-in-law, who is a man of great wealth, demanded payment of a large sum of money, which he had loaned him, or rather entrusted to him to be expended in point speculation—but the speculation not proving successful, he now insisted on the return of the whole amount. A suit at law brought the matter to judgment, and the Court of Chancery was invoked to extend its powerful arm to reach that which the mercy of the law spared to him. A creditor's bill was filed—the wealth of the persecutor gave celerity to the law's delay—and in a short time, the poor debtor was compelled, under the pains and penalties of perjury, to make discovery of his property. He had converted the whole of it into cash, and had the same in his hand to the large amount when the question was put by the solicitor before the examining master.
"There it is, my all, in that single bill, and rather than my own brother shall wring it from me—(and approaching the fire-place, he continued)—I commit it to the flames; yes, though it were my own heart's blood, I would dash it to irretrievable destruction." The creditor, who came to triumph over the discovery of his debtor's property, saw the integrity of his brother's oath preserved, and the self which had urged him so far against him, scattered to the winds of heaven. This certainly was an unwise, but we almost think a just retribution. When we heard this detailed, we thought that this matter would end here, and that the poor debtor, freed from the hands of the law and the cruel creditor, left to the further enjoyment of paying a long bill of costs. But who having entered, hath seen the end of a law suit? It was otherwise. The lawyers now raise the question whether the Bank is liable to the creditor, and the debtor, he made a competent witness to prove the amount of the bill. They will to gratify the malevolence of their client, raise another question, whether the debtor is not indictable under the statute for destroying the bills as the property of the bank, and only held by the party as tokens of indebtedness. Thus we expect a thousand questions more to arise. We think, however of a short way of determining this matter. If this poor man shall continue to be harassed, to give the names, circumstances and characters of the parties, counsel and all, a conspicuous position in this peculiar case.—N. Y. Sun.
PLEASING INCIDENT.—The Baltimore clipper relates an incident of a very beautiful young lady of that city, who not long since signed her name to a temperance pledge, one article of which prohibited her receiving the affectionate attention of any young gentleman who was in any way given to intemperance. It happened that the tender-hearted damsel, at the very time she put her name to the paper, a beau with whom she was well pleased, but who, unfortunately, according to report, took occasionally a "teasle too much." The maiden was therefore under the painful necessity of addressing her "fondly loved one" a polite note, stating her situation, the nature of the pledge she had taken, and the utter impossibility of her ever after receiving his attention as a lover. "I love you as purely as ever," was the language of the note, "but my word has gone forth, and honor bids me respond to your kindness only in the light of a friend." The young man found himself completely subdued. The words, "I love you as purely as ever," were too potent. Determined not to forfeit such devoted affection, he sought the earliest opportunity to become a temperance advocate himself, signed the pledge, and is now a member of the Washington Temperance Society. Young love's dream with them, has already brightened into engagement, and is, we understand, shortly to be consummated in matrimony. Powerful and beautiful is thy influence, oh woman!
JUG.—The Jug is a most singular utensil. A pail, tumbler, or decanter may be used, and you may satisfy yourself by optical proof that the thing is clean; but a jug has a little hole in the top, and the interior is all darkness. No eye penetrates it, no hand moves over the surface. You can clean it only by putting in water, shaking it up and pouring it out. If the water comes out clean, you judge that you have succeeded in purifying the interior of the jug, and vice versa. Hence a jug is like the human heart. No mortal eye can look into its recesses, but you can judge of its purity or impurity only by what comes out of it.—N. Y. Atlas.
THE WEATHER IN JANUARY.—The month of January, with the exception of two or three days at the beginning, has been remarkable for its uniform mildness. After the morning of the fifth day, the thermometer at no time fell below 14 degrees, and only two or three times so low as 20 deg. The mean temperature of the month was 31 degrees, being 6 degrees higher than the mean of the same month for twenty-two years, that being 25 degrees. The only January in the twenty-two years that presents so high a mean as the present year, was in 1838, when the mean was 33 degrees, higher than this. The peculiarity this year is not that there have been any remarkably warm days, for the thermometer has at no time risen higher than 54 degrees, and the mean of the warmest days in twenty-two Januaries is 50 degrees; nor that there have been no cold days, for the thermometer has fallen to 1 degree, and we have many years in which it does not fall so low in the whole winter. It is the long continuance of moderate weather that has particularly marked the last month. There have been twenty-six days in which the thermometer rose to 32 degrees and above, and eight in which it did not fall below 32 degrees in the twenty-four hours. At the beginning of the month the ground was covered with snow, of such depth and solidity, that it promised fairly to remain through the winter. It all disappeared in a week, and we have since had only slight snows; but an abundance of rain. The amount of rain and melted snow was 4.65 inches. The average quantity for January during the period above-mentioned, is 3.05 inches.—Boston paper.
WOMAN'S ELOQUENCE.—Woman cannot plead at the bar, or preach in the pulpit, or thunder in the Senate house. Yet hers is no trifling eloquence. Its power, though unostentatious in display, is mighty in friends and acquaintances, in the various intercourse of society; what charms spread around her, what a zest to every other employment can she impart—what encouragement can she give to virtue, and what reproofs to vice; what aid can she afford to the cause of religion—in short, what an amount of good can she accomplish, and what an immense influence exert, by her conversation. Is it not, then, of vast importance that her powers of conversation should be cultivated as a part of the course of her education, and not then left, as they too often are, to take their whole character from the adventitious circumstances of life in which she may be placed. But you will enquire how is this to be a part of instruction? Must it not be the result only, of a young lady's intercourse with polished and intelligent society? I think not. I would allow to such intercourse all the efficiency which it deserves, and doubtless its efficacy is great. But I would go deeper than this, I would go farther back, even to that period of life, when females are not yet considered old enough to mingle in promiscuous society, and especially to bear their part in the conversation of others much their superiors in age and intelligence. I would have the mother, to all the extent of her power, and the instructress, as a part of her course of instruction, devote herself to this great object. This is the very way, too, in which all the knowledge a young lady is acquiring at school may be made of practical use, for it may all be introduced into conversation, for the entertainment or instruction of others.
PROFESSION vs. TRADE.—Two advertisements were recently published in a newspaper: one for a clerk in a store, the other for an apprentice to learn the blacksmith's trade. The number of applicants in one day for the former place, was fifty! for the latter not one! What a sad illustration is this of the mischievous effect that has been produced upon the young men of the day, by the inflated, ruinous course which the business of the country, and the affairs of life generally, have taken during late years. In the mechanical pursuits of life have got to be regarded pretty much through the whole country, and especially in the northern Atlantic States, in nearly the same light as labor is looked upon in the southern slave States; and with a majority of our young men, want, if not beggary, artifice, if not knavery, are regarded as preferable to the comparative competence which can at all times be procured by honest industry, employed in those laborious occupations which give to the country its wealth, and to society its most useful and brightest ornaments. When a different state of feeling prevails on this subject, then—and not till then—will we see less of idleness, with its attendants: dissoluteness, poverty and dishonesty, poisoning the minds of the thousands of youth into whose keeping ere long the interests and support of society and of the country will fall.—N. Y. Sun.
FAT LIVINGS.—The salaries paid to the members of the British Cabinet, &c., are as follows:   First Lord of the Treasury, $22,222 22  Lord Chancellor, 22,222 22  First Lord of the Council, 8,888 88  Lord Privy Seal, 8,888 88  Chancellor of the Exchequer, 22,222 22  Secretary of State for the Home Department, 22,222 22  Secretary of Foreign Affairs, 22,222 22  Secretary of Colonial Affairs, 22,222 22  First Lord of the Admiralty, 20,000 00  President of Board of Control, 15,555 55  President of Board of Trade, 8,888 88  Chancellor of Duchy of Lancaster, 17,777 77  Secretary of War, 11,777 77  Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, 55,555 55 
Two Great Virtues.—Delaware can boast two virtues which no other State in the Union can claim. The one is an overflowing Treasury, free of debt, and the other that there is not a single Distillery upon her soil. May not the former be the consequence of the latter?
A Joke.—The New York Sun says: "A short time since, a gentleman wishing to play off a joke upon a celebrated Boston lady, handed her in the public drawing room a blank letter. The lady opened it, and in a very dignified manner, said, 'I refer you to my mother.' The gentleman retired somewhat hastily, convinced that the Yankee girls are not to be caught with chaff."
A physician in Boston, gave one of his patients a piece of brown paper and threw the medicine into the fire. He did not discover his mistake until the sick man began to recover from his illness.
AGRICULTURAL.
THE CRANBERRY.
The Cranberry is an excellent fruit and worth more attention than has been paid it. It grows in marshy grounds and peaty bogs in Russia, Sweden, the north of England and Germany, also in our country. The leaves are small and oval, the stem is thread shaped, the blossoms are beautiful, consisting of four petals rolled back to the base, and of a deep flesh color. The American Cranberry differs a little from the common, and is frequent from Canada to Virginia. It is a larger plant than the former, has larger leaves, and berries of a brighter color. It is exported to England, but is not there considered equal to that of Russia. In Germany the fruit is gathered with wooden combs, in this country, rakes. The vines are said not to be injured by raking, but rather improved, and after having been raked for several seasons, the fruit is gathered with more ease than at first. One man may gather 40 or 50 bushels in a day. As before noticed, this fruit grows wild, but may be easily cultivated, and yields a profitable crop, sometimes as much as 400 bushels to the acre. Hall, of Barnstable, has raised it for twenty years, he digs holes four feet apart each way, and plants the roots. In three years the ground is covered with vines. In 1830, Mr. Hadyn, of Lincoln, gathered from his plantation 400 bushels, which brought him $400. A dry soil, with a mixture of bog earth will produce an abundant crop, although moist earth seems to be its native place. Neil says, it is a good plan "to make a bed at the edge of the pond." He directs driving stakes several feet within the margin of it, and afterwards placing boards to prevent the earth from falling in the water, then puts stones or rubbish at the bottom, and cover with bog earth. The plants soon take root, in one year or two there will be a fine growth, the long runners take root in all directions, and of course the plant spreads rapidly. Every one knows how savoury this fruit is in tarts and preserves, and it may not be amiss to remark, that it may be kept for a long time bottled in pure spring water. In England, many use dry bottles, corked so as to exclude the air. The demand for the Cranberry has been constantly increasing. The Yankee Farmer observes, "that one company last year sold in the New Orleans market six thousand dollars worth of Cranberries. Three times as much is now given for this article than was asked fifteen years ago. Four acres of land in New England, where several years ago offered for $80, lately five hundred acres were offered for $100. The increased value has been from its producing Cranberries. The last crop from it was sold for four hundred dollars." In Massachusetts, there are great quantities of Cranberries. Wet boggy lands, formerly considered of little or no use, have now become very valuable on account of their being suitable for the cultivation of the plant. Some of the farmers raise as many as 1500 bushels on 6 or 7 acres. The average price is $1.50 per bushel. The plant may be raised from the root, slip or seed.—Agriculturalist.
NEW ENGLAND.—There is nothing in the climate of New England which forbids or is unfavorable to the prosecution of a successful agriculture. The winters in most parts of New England are long; and cattle are kept at the barn from six to seven months. But if the season of repose is long, the season of labor and toil is proportionately short. With us, though it be reduced to five months, it is long enough to make ample provision for the winter that is to follow. In a northern climate vegetation is accelerated in proportion to the shortness of the season of life and growth; and nature accommodates herself to her necessities. There are extremes of temperature, which most persons would be glad to avoid. If New England does not occupy the desirable medium, yet it will be allowed that her climate is not surpassed by any in respect to longevity; and our winter seasons are universally acknowledged to be favorable to health and to mental vigor. In most parts of New England the climate is one of the maturing of the most delicious fruits; and there are few portions, excepting the most northerly, of her whole territory, where Indian corn may not be matured. For twenty-four years in succession there has been but a single general failure of the crop of Indian corn. This, though extensive, was not universal; and this might have been in a great measure avoided, had suitable pains been taken in the procuring of the earliest seed and the proper management of the land. With the exception of cotton, rice, tea, and the sugar cane, there is not a single great and valuable agricultural product which may not be successfully cultivated in her territory.—H. Colman.
THE MILK-COW.
A DIALOGUE FOUNDED ON FACT.
N. Capt. J. is it true that you have paid fifty dollars for a milk-cow?  Capt. J. Yes, indeed it is! and you would not get her were you to offer me a hundred for her.  N. Oh! it is a monstrous price, she can never pay it—never; I would not give more than thirty dollars for the best cow I ever saw.  Capt. J. Come now, let us talk over the subject and see if we can't discover that it is quite possible to make a cow pay for herself, even if she cost fifty dollars. Can you tell me what is the interest on fifty dollars for a year?  N. Why three dollars—isn't it?  Capt. J. And how many weeks are there in a year?  N. Fifty-two, to be sure.  Capt. J. Well, then, before I purchased this cow, my butter cost me a dollar and a half a week, besides what I had to pay for new milk for my family; now I save all this, sell a dollar's worth of butter a week, and have all the skim-milk for my hogs. Now, do you think I put the value of this too high at three dollars a week?  N. Well perhaps not.  Capt. J. Then, you see, I pay

THE MASSACHUSETTS STATE PRISON.—We have been furnished, by the courtesy of B. Sumner, Esq., one of the Inspectors, with a pamphlet relative to the State Prison, containing the reports of the Inspectors, Warden, Chaplain and Physician.
HINTS FOR POLITICO-PHILANTHROPISTS. THE MASSACHUSETTS STATE PRISON.—We have been furnished, by the courtesy of B. Sumner, Esq., one of the Inspectors, with a pamphlet relative to the State Prison, containing the reports of the Inspectors, Warden, Chaplain and Physician.
THE number of convicts received into the Prison during the year ending September 30th, 1840, was One Hundred and Three, and the whole number remaining in prison at that time was Three Hundred and Twenty Two.
The officers complain that there are not a sufficient number of cells. The chaplain says, "there are, at this time, very nearly fifty more convicts than we have solitary cells in the new prison, rendering it necessary to occupy many of the large cells of the old prison, and that too, in many cases, with more than one prisoner."
This is a serious evil, and one which it is the duty of the Governor and Council immediately to remedy. There is one subject in the report of the Warden upon which we confess we are in the dark.
There is one subject connected with the reform of convicts in our State Prison well worthy the attention of the philanthropist. When they leave the prison it is generally with a feeling of desolation.
But this hungry horde of office-seekers is not made up from the house and muscle of the whig party—from the honest log-cabin people who were induced by deception to cast their votes on the federal side...
In the Senate the past week, the Treasury Note bill and the Bankrupt bill have been under discussion. The first has received the sanction of that body; but, as yet, no decisive vote has been taken on the latter.
The fact is, the whigs themselves plainly see that they are at variance on every question of great national importance, while they are far from being united in regard to men.
It is most certain when the time comes for another trial. It is of course settled that Mr. Webster is to be the next Secretary of State. This takes him, with his federalism, not altogether palatable to a portion of the whig party, out of the Senate, and places him in a position where he must be in a great measure responsible for the good or bad management of our foreign relations...
Mr. Clay has already constituted himself the "Kitchen Cabinet," and with the advice and consent, no doubt, of General Harrison, who has nominated him his successor, notwithstanding his pledge, prior to the late election, that no man living should know his preference in regard to the individual he would succeed him in the exalted office of President.
As a fair specimen of the honesty of federal professions, let the reader call to mind the clamor raised by the federal party during the administration of General Jackson, because he appointed a few members of Congress to office, and compare their professions then with their present course in reference to the same subject.
The "large paws" will take the management of the State into their own charge, and we trust will long retain old Massachusetts from the malignant influences by which it has been controlled.
IN the Senate of this State, on Tuesday, an order was adopted on motion of Mr. Whitmarsh, of this County, directing the Committee on the Judiciary to consider the expediency of requiring that, upon the petition of any corporation to the legislature for aid from the State, by a loan of the credit of the State, or issuing scrip for the benefit of such corporation, the legislature shall, before final action on such proposition, submit the question to the people, who shall decide upon it at the next general election after the same is thus submitted for their action.
The principle involved in this order, says the Boston Post, we consider one which, if carried out, will be attended by important and happy consequences. It is due to the people that they should be consulted before their credit is pledged to a large extent for the benefit of a corporation, no matter what may be its nature.
Mr. Whitmarsh has submitted a proposition that all loans of the state credit to Corporations shall be submitted directly to the vote of the people. The monopolists are terribly angry, and if words were daggers Mr. Whitmarsh would be pierced from the crown of his head to the soles of his feet for the audacity of his proposition.

MICHIGAN SENATOR.—Gov. Woodbridge, it appears, was elected by the democratic votes in the Michigan Legislature, to the United States Senate; Lieut. Gov. Gordon was the whig caucus candidate, but the democratic members knowing that Mr. Woodbridge concurred with them on some questions of public policy, particularly the public lands, being opposed to the distribution scheme of Mr. Clay, united with an independent portion of the whigs and elected him at the first balloting.
IMPORTANCE OF ADVERTISING.—The Newburyport Herald says: "We have known within a few months, two instances in our town, where individuals who have disposed of property, would have saved over three hundred dollars each by having paid one dollar for an advertisement; and during the sixteen years in which we have conducted a paper we have known a hundred instances in which persons have lost smaller sums by the same shortsightedness."

FROM OUR CORRESPONDENT. BOSTON, Feb. 17, 1841. MY DEAR SIR:—Mr. Webster has sent in his resignation as Senator, for the purpose of taking the office of Secretary of State under Gen. Harrison. Rufus Choate, Esq., is talked of as his successor, and will probably be chosen. Gov. Lincoln is named, and so is John Q. Adams, but there is an opinion prevalent that they won't draw in the traces with sufficient gentleness. They already begin to be a little fractious, in spite of a strong curb on their mouths.
The abolition of imprisonment for debt is still under discussion. The aristocracy of Boston oppose it, of course. John C. Park, whose business leads him to thrust men into jail on executions, and who makes money by the operation, leads in the opposition. What will be the result I cannot predict.
Mr. Whitmarsh has submitted a proposition that all loans of the state credit to Corporations shall be submitted directly to the vote of the people.

WARD'S VEGETABLE HAIR OIL.
THIS VEGETABLE OIL possesses the peculiar property so long sought for in other oils, but sought in vain by repeating the same process over and over again. So great are its nourishing properties, which it readily imparts to the roots of the hair, that it requires but a short time to produce a new growth, and but few applications to check the falling of the hair, which no oil can do, especially after sickness. It prevents the hair from turning grey, and when it begins to turn, may be easily checked and restored to its natural beauty by applying the oil. This oil gives an agreeable fragrance, and is preferable to any other for perfuming cutting and glossing the hair.
Ladies and gentlemen of the highest rank have patronized this oil very extensively; and such has been its effects in every country where it has been introduced, that it received the decided preference.
From the Royal College of Physicians of Havana, February 20, 1833.
Dr. E. A. Ward having proved to this Royal Tribunal that the Vegetable Oil, of his composition, has the property of causing the growth of hair, and preventing the falling of the hair, and that the aforesaid aforesaid ingredients which have been found in its composition by the chemical analysis of the Royal Tribunal, are hereby recommended its use, not as a specific, but as a good and useful remedy for persons requiring it, whose hair has fallen or is falling from sickness or other causes.

Witnessed by CATARINO PORTON, Notary Public. The above testimonial of the efficacy and value of Ward's Vegetable Hair Oil, was given by the proprietor to the Royal Academy of Physicians in Havana, and to those who are acquainted with the extreme rigors of the medical police of Havana, it speaks volumes of its efficacy.

DR. JAYNE'S EXPECTORANT.
THIS invaluable medicine is daily effecting some of the most astonishing and wonderful cures that have ever been known. All who have ever used it for Asthma, Coughs, Spitting of Blood, Hooping Cough, Croup, Pleurisy, Consumption, Catarrhs, Pleurisy, Hectic Fever, Pain and Soreness of the Chest, Difficulty in Breathing, and every other disease of the LUNGS and BRONCHIA, can attest to its usefulness. BRONCHITIS, a disease which is annually sweeping thousands into premature graves, is under the mistaken name of CONSUMPTION, as always cured by it. The usual symptoms of this disease, (Bronchitis) are Cough, Soreness of the Lungs or Throat, Hoarseness, Difficulty of Breathing, Asthma, Hectic Fever, and spitting up blood, and sometimes blood. It is a wasting disease, and the false skin, which the inside of the whole of the wind tubes or air vessels, which run into every part of the Lungs. This Expectorant immediately suppresses the Cough, Pain, Inflammation, Fever and Expectoration, and produces a free and easy breathing.
It always cures the Asthma-two or three large doses will cure the CROUP or HIVES of Children, in from fifteen minutes to an hour's time. It immediately subsides the violence of HOOPING COUGH, and effects a permanent cure. All who have ever used it for their physicians as incurable with CONSUMPTION, have been restored to perfect health by it.
DR. JONATHAN GAYNE, President of the Gloucester College, Ohio, (late of New York), in a letter to Dr. Jayne dated New York, December 1836, says that he was laboring under a severe cold, cough and hoarseness, and that his difficulty of breathing was so great that he felt himself in imminent danger of immediate suffocation, but was perfectly cured by using this medicine.

THE MEAN TIME THE PUBLIC ARE CAUTIONED against buying WRIGHT'S INDIAN VEGETABLE PILLS of any one who does not exhibit a certificate of agency signed by the agent for the New England States and bearing date since January 1840. Also take particular notice that the following wording is on the Boxes:
WRIGHT'S INDIAN VEGETABLE PILLS-Ind. Purgatives of the North American College of Health.
This box contains 100 Pills, and is intended to cure for disease in its every variety of form, because they thoroughly cleanse the stomach and bowels, induce a proper discharge by the lungs, skin and kidney, and stimulate the blood to purify itself.
THE GRAND PHYSICIAN, free to drive disease from the body. The above outlets, or drains, are the common sewers of the body, through which all morbid and corrupt humors (the cause of disease) are carried off and so long as they are all kept open, and discharge freely their allotted portions of impurity, the body will continue in health; but when from eating improper food, breaking impure air, sudden transitions from heat to cold, over exertion, or any other cause, the bowels become costive, the pores of the skin become clogged, or the kidney is neglected, these accumulations of impurities, which should be thrown off by the body by those outlets will be retained, and continue to accumulate until the body becomes literally loaded with disease.
These pills may be taken at all times, and under all circumstances, with perfect safety. They suit all constitutions and all ages, and are as natural to the human constitution as food; consequently they can never injure even the most delicate. Like our food they are digestible; therefore they enter into the circulation, and are carried to the extremities, and consequently they keep the pores of the skin open. They are true and perfect purifiers of the blood; because they draw all corrupt humors from that life-giving fluid. They are also true and perfect purifiers of the blood; because they remove those humors which are opposed to health. They aid and improve digestion, and sound sleep follows their use, because they cleanse the stomach and bowels of all that is noxious, and give to the system a new and healthy nervous system, but paralysis will weaken the digestive organs. In short they possess all the good properties that can be claimed for any medicine; and which is very remarkable, it is utterly impossible to use them without receiving the most good effects.
Price 25 cents per Box, with full Directions. Office and General Depot for the New England States, No. 126 TREMONT STREET, near Court Street, Boston.

ATTENTION! BALD HEADS-Of all the remedies ever devised for the restoration and preservation of the hair, none has proved more satisfactory and successful than ALBERT'S OLEAGINOUS HAIR TONIC.
It seldom fails to restore the hair to health and beauty. Many who were bald a few months ago, can now exhibit luxuriant heads of hair by the use of it.
From the Rev. Dr. S. S. Fitch, Philadelphia, May 10, 1833.
Dr. Jayne- Dear Sir- I feel that I can hardly say enough to you in favor of Albert's Oleaginous Hair Tonic, prepared by you. My hair had been falling off almost entirely, and was very thin, threatening soon to become bald, when I commenced using this remedy. In about one week it ceased to fall off.
I have used it now for about three months, and as full and thick a head of hair as I can possibly desire. I have recommended it to several of my friends, and it has proved itself to be a most satisfactory and successful remedy. I had tried almost all the various articles employed for the hair such as the Macassar Oil, and different preparations of Bear's Oil, Vegetable Hair Oil, &c. without receiving any benefit. I have used it now for about three months, and as full and thick a head of hair as I can possibly desire.
