al feliclious style. The following were
among the sentiments offered;
\ Agricultural Societies 1.-THE march of
mind" eoAtroling the mass Of matter BY
their potent spells they have doubled the
mower of prolific substance; and infused

lncomprehensible to their opponenis
Oar Spindtes and Looms Though the
day of Fable may have passed away, the
thread of our nations destiny is so interwo-
ven with the web of the manufacturer. that
the hand which cuts the one, must sever the
other also.

combined principles untnotcn TO The former,
and their Uaion has extended the vegetable
creation beyond tho sphere Of her laws.
To this sentiment the Hon. John Weles,
one of the Trustees of the State Society,
responded in u few remarks, and the fol-
lowing toast: S
The Worcester. agricultural .Society-Skil-
ful, Jealous, and interchangeable: their Show

.Atw Hampshire While the traveller has
gazed with delight upon the magnifcence
Of her natural scenery. the world has adj
mred the sublime exhibition of moral pow
er in her distinguished Son, in sustaining
the Constitution of his country.
This sentiment, referring to the celebrat-
ed speech of Mr.. WEBSTER in the Senate
/ of the United States in defence of the Con-
sttution, was received by the company with
great enthusiasm, and elected from that
gentleman train of eloquent and instruc-
tive remarks, in which, after thanking the
Society for their allusion to himself and TO
his native State, he spoke of the means of
agricultural improvement, and of the pres
ent condition and future prospects of the
country. 1t would he useless to ATTEMPT
even sketch of the admirable views on the
different topics embraced in his observa-
, tons, nor would il be possible TO convey an
adequate idea of the manner and tone with
which he Gescanted on the causes that
threaten the permanence of the Union. We
venture TO say there was not a person pres
t ent who did not partake of the deep and in
tense pmOfinp al. L.
himself, during this portion Of his remarks.
Alter Mr.. Webster sat down, sentiments
were offered which called up successfully
Messrs. E. Everett, GrennelI, Dearborn, A.

appropriate and spirited manner. We re-
greet our inability 10 give a more particular
