proposed that no meeting of any friendly
society should take place at any public

Mr.. O'Connell was rather severe upon

on the manner in which its high duties shall be
performed! Nor is it needful, am sure, that
should admonish you that you are the Repre-
sentatives of our whole country, and not Of a

prosper under the influence OF wise, equal,

common interest and brothery affection; by a
spirit of mutual forbearance and moderation;
and by cherishing hallowed devotion to that
Liberty and Union secured to us by the blood

can rest.
Although our country, of late, gentlemen,
has been deeply and painfully excited, and our
councils too greatly divided, may we not hope
that the causes of excitement are daily passing
off and subsding, and that peace and tranquil
ty will again be restored to us! At such time,
and under such circumstances is it not the du-
tv of every WISE and LIBERAL and good man, in
public or private life, without distinction OF par
ty to unite for the purpose of healing these di-
Visions and giving peace and repose 10 the pup
lie mind? And should not those, especially,
who WELD the public councils pour oil upon
this stormy sea, and still its troubled waters2
| invoke you, gentlemen, to peace and harmo-
nv: to union and action for the common good.
The people expect it; the prosperity and happ-
ness of your country demand it. God grant
that you may prove yourselves worthy OF the
high trust, and equal to the crisis; and that your
labors may ultimately prove successful in CIV

This is the last time that shall ever address

Great Improvement in Mn Stones.-In the
American Farmer for this month, there is a IA
vorable notice of Preslo10S improvement in Mill
Stones. 1t is, without doubt, valuable acqui-
stion in the manufacture of -four, and which in
terests all classes of society. 1t will be seen by
the advertisement of the agent, that an essential
part of the Improvement consists in grinding
cooler, faster, and boiling better. 1t is well es
tabliShed fact, that it is mainly owing to the heat
of the -four, when packed, that so much damag-
ed flour comes to market, producing that plague,
the cholera, and other similar diseases; and when
once damaged, no process can make it as heal
thy as it was before.
Bread Stuffs of various descriptions form the
chief substance of human support, and it is,
therefore, of the greatest Importance that flour
should be made as perfect as the nature of it will
admit of, and the certificates which accompany
the recommendations justify the belief that Pres
lo1vS mode of manufacturing the article is as
near perfection as can be imagined.
