tbe masters claim to the slave does not
convert the latter into thing, or degrade
him from his rank as a human being. Nor
does the fac, that he is bound to serve for
life nroduce this effect. 1t is only property
in his time for life, instead offor term OF
wears. The nature of the relation is not
determined by the period Of lis contnu-
ance.
1t has, however, been urgued that the
slave is the property of his master, not only
in the sense admitted above, but III
the sense assumed in the objection, because
his children are under the same obligation
of service as the parent The hereditary
character of slavery, however, does not
arise out of the idea Of the slave as chat
;el or thing, mere matter OF property: It
depends on the organization OF society. In
England one man is born a peer, another a
commoner in Russia one is born noble
another serf; here one is born a tree cltl-
zen, another dsfranchiscd out-cast (the
free colored man.) and third a slave.
These forms of society, as before remark
ed are not necessarily, or in themselves,
either just or unjust; but become the one
or the other, according to circumstances.
Under state of things in which the best
interests of the community would bcPromo.
ted bv the British or Russian organization,
they would he just and acceptable to God /;
but under circumstances in which they
would be injurious, they would be unjust.
1t is absolutely necessary, however, to dis
cri,ninate between an organization essen.
tally vicious. and one which, being in itself
indifferent, may be right or wrong accord
inc to circumstances. On the same Prln-
ciple, therefore, that a human being IN
Englandis is deprived, by the mere accident of
birth, ofthe rightof suffrage; and in Russia
has the small portion of liberty which be-
longs to q commoncr, or the still smaller
belonging to a serl, in this country one class
is bv birth invested with all The rights of cltl.
zenship, another (iemales) is deprived all
political and many personal rights, and a
third of even their personal liberty. Wheth-
er this organization be right or wrong Is
not now the question. We are simply
showing that the fact that the children OF
slaves become by birth slaves, is not to be
referred to the idea of the masters property
in the body and soul Of the parent, but re.
suits from the form Of society, and is analo-
gous TO other social institutions, as tar as
the principle is concerned, that children
take the rank, or the political or social con-
di,ion of the parent.

RURAL ECONOMY.
TRANSATLANTIC IN ACTUMN.

TRANSATLANTIC IN AUTUMN.
We have observed that many cultivators
are afraid to remove tree in autumn until
the leaves have either dropped or turned
yellow but we can assure them that unless
the weather be very dry, they may begin
with great safety, as soon as the sun has
crossed the line. We have seen cherry
tree of n good size, in full leaf, and very
green,-transplanted exactly at that period,
and VIC have never seen any trees that sue
cecded better.
We would remark, however, that it was
only removed about 80 rods, and the tibrous
roofs hadno opportunity to wither.
We are satisfied that trees transplanted
early in autumn, are likely 10 do better, than
those that are removed late in the season.
The roots will begin to grow, and derive the
nourishmcnt from the soil, which protects
them, if in any degree tender, against the
seventies of winter, and in all cases where
the spongdoles can be preserved fresh and
uninjured.- but more especially where a
considerable portlon OF tue ealui Cdii po ic,
moved with the roots. The leaves should
be carefully retained so that the elaboration
of the sap may continue without interrup-
ton.
Where the roots have TO remain for any
considerable time out ofthe ground, howcv-
cr, we think it would probably be best to re-
move the leaves entirely. We once took up
a pear tree in autumn, more than fortnight
before the sun crosses the line, which was
wholly deprived of its leaves, and kept
about ten days implanted, without its sus-
tanning the least injury. We supposed ii
did better from losing its leaves. because
the office ofthese, is to expose the sap to the
air and light,--a process which exhales q
great quantity of water and as a constant
draft towards the leaves is maintained, and
as a corresponding supply can be derived
from the roots, we think the effect OF the
leaves must be partially to exhaust the sap.
This reason accords with the practice OF
some nursery men who remove the leaves
from scions in order TO preserve them from
withering.

THE GAPES IN CHICKENS.

Nr. E. =. Roberts i presume, it will
be allowed, there are hundreds of dollars
sunk every year in Maryland and elsewhere,
bv the loss of young turkeys and chickens,
by what is commonly called the gopes. |
lived three years in the country the first
wear had no disease among my fowls. |
turned out near forty fine pullets, thinking
the next summer to live well on chickens,
and send some to market; but the gapes
killed all my chickens, and the summer fol.
lowing | did not raise a dozen. Nothing
that | could do would cure them. My
neighbors were in the same situation, with
the exception ofone, whose wife had coops
made and carried away from the house and
barn, some distance in the fields she sue
ceeded in raising from 2 to 300. However
| removed to Baltimore, and being fond of
chickens, got me two Banty hens and a
Rooster, this spring ; the two hens hatched
II fine chickens, more thriving ones never
saw when about three or four weeks old,
thev all took the gapes and IA died; the 3
that lived, had the disease but lightly. The
first twelve which died were thrown into
the commons when the 18th died, | picked
il up to throw out, but concluded | would
see what could all the wind-pipe, and took
out my pcnknife and opened the neck of the
chicken, so that could see the wind pipe
from one end to the other, | discovered the
pipe was nearly full ofsomething, which ]
could see; then with the sharp point OF
my knife, opened the pipe from end to end
and with the point lifted out six small fishing
worms, all alive, which crawled about, and
on examining the l4th chicken there were
were seven in its windpipe. This kind OF
worm is among the dirt that collects, and is
swept up, and thousands ofthcm are to be
found in barn and stable yards. This worm
is smaller than our common fishing worms,
and appears in colour ola brownish yellow
hue. and has sort of dull yellow ring around
its head-has bad smell, yet fish bite best
at this kind of worms.-All chickens kept
from wards Of dwellings, barns, and stable
wards, out in the short grassy fields will
never havct the gapes, because those worms
are never there for the hen to scratch up.
I hope the farmers and all who raise chick.
ems and turkeys, will attend to this matter,
and would suggest TO those of them who
may have chickens die IN the gapes to ex-
anime for themselves.
VIM. w. WAITE, Sr.
presume those that get over the gapes,
never have more than one or two IN the
winh.9ipe.

ASEcporE OF GEORGE ".

The following anecdote was related TO
me of his late majesty, as being well autfen.
ticatcd. When ne was in Ireland, two or
three years since, he told Lord Roden, Il
man ofdecided Christian character, that on a
particular morning he was comingto break.
fast with him. He accordingly came, and
bringing with him two or three Of the no.
bility, and happened to arrive just as his
lordship had his family assembled for do
mestic worship. Lord R. being told that
his guest had arrived, went to the door, and
met him with every expression of respect,
and seated him, and the gentlemen that ac-
companed him, in his par!or. He then
turned to the king and said, "Your Majesty
will not doubt that feel highly honored by
this visit; but there is a duty which i have
not yet discharged this morning, which 4
owe TO the King of kings--that Of perform
ing domestic worship; and your Majesty
will be kind enough to excuse me while ]
retire with my household, and attend to it,"
"Cerainly," replied the king, "but | am
going with you," and immediately rose and
followed him down into the hall, where his
family were assembled, and taking his sta
ton in an old armed chair, which, under.
stand, has acquired an immense value from
that circumstance, remained during the
family deyotions. This anecdote certainly
reflects honor upon his Lordship and his
Majesty; while it exhibits in the one the
dignity of unyielding Christian principle, it
displays IN the other, at least the courtesy
of a gentleman, and the natural homage
which every man feels for a consistent, re.
ligious charac.e:. Syr0gs's Lets:s.

Ploughing in Of green corps, as prac-
tsed in the State of New York, is so eco
nomical mode of enriching the soil, that |
have often marvced it is not practised to 4
much greater extent in other places. Al.
low me to recommend the spreading
ola coat oflime previous to ploughing in.
If the slovenly farmer, who allows his
weeds to grow up unmolested and cover his
fields, would instead Of this, plough them
under, after few repctItions of this, he
would be surprized at the increased fertility
Of the soil, and save the labor Of carting
manure from distance.
With respect to the best crops for turn.
inc under there arc various opinions rye
and clover are. perhaps, as much in use as
any other. though some plough in oats, mil
let turnips, &c. In dry situations this
practice succeeds best as by the ground re.
manning exposed to wet, the crop turned
under would not be so likely to rot.
