Extract from tho Message Of Gov. Dodge, a, tho
meeting of tho first session Of the first Leeisla-
tive Assembly Of Wisconsin Territory.
81 would recommend to the Legislative As.em-
bly,, at an carly day Of their session, that Z me
mortal be forwarded 10 the Congress, Of the United
States, on the subject Of extending tho right 81
presumption to numerous and respectable por-
ton Of tho inhabitants of this territory, who are
now settled on the public lands. The policy he,e-
toforc pursued BY the Government, in granting the
right Of presumption to actual settlers has induce
many families to elnigrate to this Territory, be-
lieving the same indulgence would be extended 20
them that had been granted to others. RELYING on
the justice Of tho government, they hive invested
all their means in the improvement of this country
and to be placed in competition with specuators
in the purchase Of thcir homes, would bring ruin
and distress OH many families. Tho actual set r.
on the public lands have brought this To IN
to notice, and have been the means Of prod,,c;no
large amount in the Treasury Of the United St.sss
Tho public lands were intended for the beneft ~
the actual settler, who depends alone on TIA so;i
for support. They are ready At all times to daft
their at the risk Of every thing dear to
men. By granting them the right Of presumption
they will enabled to purchase their homes a. tho
government price, which lei small boon extended
10 this merorious class Of the community, for ina
priyations incident to the settlement Of now

ing passed law at their las, session. granting to

lots at a fixed price, has established precedent
that gives the actual settler strong claims on the
Justice of the Government. From the presen,

seem there could be necessity for selling the pub

THE ROSE.

I saw a rose perfect in beauty, it rested grace
fully upon it's stalk, and its perfume filed the air.
Many stopped to gaze upon it, many bowed
10 taste its fragrance, and its owner hung
over it with delight. passed it again, and
behold it was gone-its stem was leafess-its
root had withered: the enclosure which surrounds
ed it was broken down. The spoiler had becn
there; he saw that many admired il; he knew it
was dear to him who planted it, and beside il he
had no other plant to love- Yet he snatched it
secretly from the hand that cherished it; he wore
il on his bosom till il hung its head and faded,
and when he saw that its glory was departed, he
flung it rudely away. But it left thon in his boz
som, and vainly did they seek to abstract It; for
now il pierces tho spoiler in his hour Of mirt
And when saw no man who had loved the beauty
Of the rose, gathered again its scattered leaves,
bound up the stalk which the hand Of violence
had broken, looked earnestly al the spot where
itgrew, and my soul received instruction. And
said lot her who is full Of beauty and admiration,
sitting like the queen Of flowers in majesty a.

AGRICULTURAL.
ROOT CULTURE.

The root, and particularly the turnip culture,
which has been extoled rs the basis ofimproved
husbandry in Great Britain, is rapidly extending
among us. Five years ago there was not prob
ably two hundred pounds of ruta baga seed
sown in the state; this year tons OF this seed
have been sown; and the culture of nangold
wurtzel and carrots, has been also greatly cx-
tended. One scotsman has imported twenty
six hundred weight of ruta baga seed, and this
probably is not more than quarter, or a third
that has been sown. The supply has become
exhausted from Baltimore TO Boston, and yet
the demand has not been supplied. Our neigh
Dor, Thornburn has sold this season 1900 pounds
ruta baga seed; $50 pounds carrot do; 100 lbs
parsnip do, and $50 pounds mangod wortzel do,
and; indicating the extended culture of roots
and, the advance of agricultural improvement
we add, that he has retaed seventy cultivators;
eighty drill harrows; and seventy five of Green's
straw cutters. We record these facts as afford
ing, in our mind substantial proofs ola propitious
change, and Of the efforts to improve, which IRE
now being manifested to our agricultural COM
munity And from the spirit of inquiry which is
abroad, and the general circulation Of agrcut-
raj periodicals, we hazard little in saying, that
the rising generation will be better farmers, and
more enlightened men, than their fathers have
been. Let every young farmer ponder upon
these facts, and he who aims to excel, will at
least attain medocrity; while he who aims at
mediocrity will generally tall short of it. Cult
vate the mind, as the sure means of increasing
the profits of the hands.-.Albany Cttltivator.
