these pages, and they will there read the fu-
tnre destiny Of their country-should fede-
ralism ever again be triumphant. General
Hamilton was its champion, and pretended
to love the present constitution. because it
was " stcpstone to something better''-
We cannot serve God and Mammon. If fe-
deralists really love the constitution, they must
hate General Hamilton and his a6hercpts.
No doubt mary have been deceived, and will
see the dreadful tendency of the principles
advocated by the ambitious and insidi1us par
tlzans OF ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS faction. We think
every Republican printer ought to publish
these propositions annually, in order to show
the people the precipice which they have
escaped. ard the evils they NAV vet suffer.
Let us then be vigilant and cling to the Uni
Mon as "the worlds best hope"

CURIOUS FACTS.

CURIOUS FACTS.
1t is to the luxury OF the old Romans that we
owe many OF the delcacies that now abound i'm
Europe. Lucullus, when he returned from the
Mithrdatic war, introduced cherries the first time
INTO Italy, from Cerasus, city Sinope, on
the EnNine sea. There were also brought into
Italy, about elis period, many other curiosiies of
fruits, flowers, and other plants, from Greece, A
STA, and Africa apricots from Epirus, peaches
from Persia, the finest sorts ef plumbs from Da-
mascus and Armenia, pears and figs from Greece
and Egypt, citrons from Media, and pomegrana
from Carthage. All these were soon brought TO
perfection in Italy.
Turkey or Guinea cocks were brought first in
to Entiand III the 15thof Henry Viii 1t was
much about the same time that pippins were
brought from beyond sea by Leonard Marscall of
PlumYted III Sussex. In 1878, apricots were
brought from Italy and that country also gave
England melon seeds in the reign of James /. A.
boutthe same period, the large fine pole goose
berry was brought frora Flanders with salads
andcabbages. 1t was not till the ezra of the Res
toraion, that asparagus, artichokes, lemons, o.
