1.-THE two governments wish for a war,
they have only to let things 60 on without
troubling them, aud very pretty quarrel
will shortly be cooked up.
The Canada account Of the Brockvilc
affair represents that only two persons fired
the mnskets into the Telegraph, and that
they fred ten shots before they could be
seized. Smart gunners, they. 1t says
also that the whole affair was explained TO
the American captain. Ills story does not
agree with that "expapaion" however.
Lord Durham has issued proclamation
in relation to the Robert Peel affair, In
which he offers reward of one thousand
pounds for information which shall lead to
the conviction OF any person engaged in
the destruction Of the steamboat. He ex-
hor,s the Canadians to abstain from any
act of retaliation. and states that he shall
cause an efficient military force immediate

sistent in his advocacy Of reform
Lord Durham is man Of unquestionable
talent and eloquence but Notwithstanding
his liberal political opinions. he has the
reputation of being the proudest man in
England. The post he now occupies is
one of extreme delcacy. If he can carry
out with frankness and firmness, the prin-
ciples laid down 10 his proclamation on
assuming the command at Quebec, he may
earn for himself an enviabe reputation.
But il he suffers himself to be made tool

At a large and respectable meeting The Wings
of the town of Richmond, convened at the meeting
house in said town on the 18th day Of June 1888,
for the purpose of taking into considerable the
propriety Of nominating candidate for Congress,
in the 4h Congressional District, the following
resolutions were unanimously adopted:
Resolued, That we consider the present an i'm.
portant era in our political existence, and that the
approaching congressional election seems TO remind
every freeman that upon his selection of candi.
date may depend the preservation of our liberties
Resolued, That while the disgraceful outrage
committed upon the steamboat Caroline remains
unavenged and our frontier is being garrisoned by
a foreign power-that while the question of our
North Eastern Boundary remains unsettled, and
the possession Of large tract Of land belonging to
a sister State, is wresled from her by that bower:
and that while the right Of petition is boldly deni.
ed on the floor Of Congress, it behooves every re.
feclins patriot 10 scrutnze the principles and
practice Of any candidate who may be selected TO
assist in national councils to guide the destinies
of a great and free people.
ResoiDed, That fully approaching the patriotic
and unwavering republican principles of our fellow
citizen Hon. WIN. L. ERIGGs, we cheerlully EN-.
brace ms opportunity TO propose him to the free.
men OF the 4ih Congressional District, as candi.
date for election to The next Congress.
Resolred. That we consider his eminent talents
and distinguished eoquence eminenrly qualify him
10 prefer our petitions, and cause our complaints TO
be successfully heard and respected, upon the floor
of Congress.
Resoicea, That we feel undiminished confidence
in our present able and distinguished representative,
and would take great pleasure in giving him our
support-but for the republican doctrine OF roia-
ton in Office which we hold to be just and honora.
ble-we therefore, earnestly recommend Mr.. Briggs
TO the serious consideration and suffrage of our
iellow'cilizens, at the same time expressing our
entire concurrence and cooperation in the nomina.
ton OF such candidate as may be agreed upon by IA
convention Of delegates from the several towns in
this District.
Resoiped, That the proceedings of this meeting
be signed by the chairman and secretary and pub.
lished in the Burlington Free Press.

with spirit; and managed with judgment,
success has been certain. The great
objection to this culture has been, the labor
which is required to secure these roots from
the frosts OF WINTER and yet the labor and
expense required for this purpose are per.
haps no greater than we expend in securing
our grain and ioragc--if they are as great.
Where cellars arc not at command, or not
adequate. these roots may all be securely
preserved in pits, in dry situations, due pre-
caution being had to covering and vent,Ia-
ton. II is the novelty Of the labor, rather
than the amount, and want Of practical
knowledge and confidence Of success, which
intimidates and de,ers US. We do save our
potatoes, and we can save other roots in
like manner. Assuming the average pro
duct of hay at q ton and half TO two tons
per acre, and Of beets and ruta baga at
600 bushels-and allowing bushel and a
half of the latter, 100 lbs to be equal, for
farm stock. TO twenty pounds of hay, an
acre of the roots will go as far in the econo.
my Of feeding as nearly three acres of
meadow. to say nothing of the tops, which
will go far to pay the extra expense of cul-
tlvatlng tho roots-whlle the ground in
one case is ameIiorated ard improved,
and in the other impoverished. These
roots, besides. may be used as substitute
for grain, for working cattle, and for pigs.
The three acres of grass gives less than
5000 pounds to the manure yard, while
the one acre of rula baga, or beets, gives
$4,000, or four times as much as three
acres Of grass land.

well known and understood, BY even the
boys in the street, that the Hon. Truman
Chlttenden is the man; and inasmuch a.
it is equally certain that even he cannot
get an election in this county, it is an IN.
justifable waste Of time and money TO call
a Convention for the mere purpose of de-
signaling who shall share the honor of
another defeat with the youthful and am,
bilious aspirant who heads the ticket.
Judge Chttenden ayers that he never
sought Office, and the public knoo that no
never declined it. So there can be no
doubt Of his genuine democracy; and
should he hereafter be considered the can,

Alas for Liberty! Her affairs now
Lie desolate and waste; the glimm'ri,g fame
That cheered her ardent worshppers Is gone.

That nerved the Patriots arm and flied his heart
Is lost. Shout Despo,s! Bid your cro,ehng slaves
Hug their chains, and worship Tyranny
On could righteous cause, or ardent prayers,
Or hopes that spring from generoes sympathy,
Or acts of valor, and high patriotism, -
Could these avail to stem expressions tide,
To strike the tyrant through his hireinS saves;-
Then Canada were free, forever free.
Her patriot sons would look abroad with love,
And reverence, and hope, on their own land,
And breathe once more the breath Of Liberty
And hear her voice.
-- But we still hope.
Freedom is on our borders. Her brave sons
Lift up her spanged banner; and the stars
And stripes flash on our eyes. We look and live
We gather hope and courage, and our hearts
Leap up with joy to think upon The day
When Freedoms banner shall be ours; and we
Shall taste, though late, the blessings of The Free:

Gan act was passed on the LIST inst, by
the House of Representatives, comforting
upon the President extraordinary powers
for an unlimited time, excepting, however
the right to Danish, or take the life of O
Mexican citizen, save by process of law.
Having been subsequently rejected by the
Senate, and sent back to the House of Re-
representatives. for reconsideration, it was
repassed by unanimous vote OF that body,
granting to the President the power to
raise an army Of one hundred thousand
men, and the necessary funds and to have
resort to the means which he might deem
most conducive to the interests Of the na.
ton, aud requisite to carry his plan into
effect. 1t is understood that the portion OF

vocated the measure in the first instance,
for the purpose OF enabling the President
to take measures called for by the ener-
gencies OF the times. fearing that he might
extend these powers to the confscatiOn oil

You prove that women have no brains,
For many cogent causes,
The principal of which think,
BY logic's soundest laws, is:-
That into sleep, which was very deep,
The Lord made man to fall
Then from his side, he took rib
But took no brains at all.
He left hi brains, the whole Of them,
So woman none retains,
For bone you see, can never be
Transmosrified TO brains
Since women then can have no brains,
Your mother can have none,
So think may, with safety say,
You are your mothers son.
