Culture OF SILK.

MR. FEssENDEN-I was very mucn
eratified on perusing your last number Of
he New England Farmer, to understand
that IONA. II. Coss, Esq. of Dedham,
has commenced lecturing on the cutiva-
ton Of the Mulberry tree and the rearing
Of Silk Worms. Hope the time Is not
Ear distant when we shall be more awnk-
enetl to the importance Of this subject IN
M;Nalesex. We have to be sure several
nurseries, and some orchards OF Mulberry
tree, in various parts Of the county; but
for tho want Of proper information respect
ing the treatment Of the worms and the
want Of filaturcs for the reeling of the CO.
-coons, and various other perplexities, we
have done but very little at the business
I should like to inquire whether cocoons
are an article Of sale within any reasona-
BILE distance; and, if SO, what is usually
the price per ID.
b IL YOU, or any ofyour numerous cores
nondents will inform us through the me-
a;un of the New England Farmer, that
such is the case, we shall the next season
tnfn cur attention, in some measure, TO
That branch of industry.

may be changed to the Fall River Union
Bank, and that the stockholders may be

appointing directors who lived out of the
State. On that question there was IN in-

in Europe, and the revolutionary spirit
which appears to be stirring abroad among
the people in several Of the kingdoms Of
tie old world, are indications ofa coming
reformation, which the philosophck and
discerning have long foreseen. The pol
icy which cursed the darker ages of the
world, and elevated tyrants by means OF
their own craft, to trample on the necks Of
their subjects, PROSTATE through the dark
ness of the ages in which they lived, can
no longer withstand the blazing force Of
truth, whose impulse, widening with the
march of intellect, is destined to urge
man on to the goal Of universal freedom,&
at last efIectually to overcome every bar
rier to this high destiny in the permanent
establishment of the EQUAL RIGHTS OF
MAN.
Moral revolutions which must always
precede important and useful political
ones, must Of necessity be slow IN their
progress (and especially where every
means are used to keep the people in ig-
norance) )-but although slow in their pro-
gress, there are in operation, means,
which, wherever they are kown, will
make their ultimate success certain. The
art Of printing long since sealed the doom
of al those principles, which. have tor
their object the continuation Of man in
that degraded state Of moral darkness.
which had for centuries previous, cast its
deep an awful shade over his condition
and prospects. This rapid vehicle Of in
telligence has already accomplished won
ders. Gradually the clouds ofignorance
tecede and the glorious beams Of trutf
burst upon the world. Men begin to lool
/, around them and question the authorit.
of their oppressors. Royalty and Bigo
try and all unjust authority begin to shrinl
n from the scrutiny Of this inquiry-the,
tremble-thcy stand aghast before tn
searching messenger. Gradually the
Weld to the more legitimate claims of res
son, justice and the peoples rights ; an
step by step those eternal principles ,whic
embrace the security of mans unalieiia
bic rights advance, until the concentr'
ted energies Of one little band Of resolu
patriots bursts forth in one firm declar
ton, W. will die or be free. This bo
declaration is followed by vigorous :
" sistance to oppression and a final trium
ofjus,lce, and this nation now stands
monument of the justice Of that decla'
ton and the glory Of those who made 1t.
But here the work shall not stop.
