Test aim is to reform the constitution
and the course Of its administration.
The constitution must be reformed, it
was only intendedas an experiment, :"
the aim was to engraft the principles
of the British Constitution or men Of
foreign origin and foreign growth; and
after lapse Of "A years, it has been
found to be failure-the proximity
of Canada to the Republic of the u
nited States, the rapid growth of poll
teal science, and the deep conviction
that large share of self government
should be conceded in every well or
derea state of society to the people,
gives to popular resistance the recon-
mandation ofthe soundest reason; land
until thescpoints be conceded, all pros
peet of az. cement between the Cover

Lower Canada has taken most re-
solute stand and one Of two courses
must be taken---the whole people must
be exterminated, or the Home Govern

invited Mr.. Dallas, the American Min
lister to dine with him on the Sunday
after his arrival, at the Palace ofPeter-
hoff, and really made grand prepara-
tons for his reception, but when Mr..
Dallas appeared, he was told that he
could not, under any consideration, be
admitted in a citizens dress,-hav-
ing no uniform, he was compelled to GO
back to his ship without dinner, quite
yexed with the pertinacity Of this roy

to be democrat Of the first water, and
expressing some apprehension that it

THE c1y1L WAR IN cANApA.

1t will be perceived by our extract
from the Canada papers, that that colo
ny is at present in a state Of civil war.
Every mail brings intelligence Of some
new battle, siege or skirmish, between
the kings troops and the insurgents,
attended with blood-shed and extern
sive loss Of lives. The whole province
appears to be in a state Of commotion,
and certain section are the seats of ac-
tive aud important military operations.
Whatever apathy may prevail in the
United States with respect 10 the points
at issue in this controversy, all must
sympathize with the Canadians in con-
sideration Of the terrible calamity of
civil war which involves the innocent
and the guilty, all ages and conditions
Of people, in common distress. OF
all forms and kinds Of war, civil war
is the most terrible, severing as it does
the nearest tics, and bringing the de.
mon Of discord to the very hearth stone
Of the peaceful citizen. We k!:oapc that
Tie present state OF things will be
speedily terminated in some way. The
case with which the whole country
may beconquered by adisciplinedfor
leaves but little doubt of the result
supposing that it is the desire of Grea1
Britain to retain the colony. Ofthis
however, there may be some doubt

For the Natire american.

Mr. ED1ToR friend has recently placed il
nv hands small pamphlet, entitled "Official Re
futation of Libe!'' / hastily ran through it
pages, and discovered that it was an attempt a
refntation of charge against G. w. Feather
stonhaugh, (by courtesy styled United States
Geologist,) of having appropriated to himself the
merits of map, that had been plotted by an
officer of the Typographical Bureau, from the
original notes Of w. w. Mather, late Lieuten-
ant in the United States Army.
With the controversy between Mr.. Feather
stonhaugh and Mr.. Mather, have nothing to
do; but rmay be permitted to say, that the clum-
silly written pamphlet of the former gentleman,
not only fails in satisfying me that he has been
libelled, but even of his claims to the high pre-
tensions he makes to scientific and literary attain
ments. | venture to state, that one can read
his pamphlet without smiling at the vanity and
arrogance of his criticism Of the Naval Magazine.
The Magazine is edited by the Rev. Mr.. Stewart
a gentleman distinguished for his learning and
chaste writing, who is aided by an advisory
committee, at the head of which stands Com
Ridgley; and yet Mr.. Geologist Featherston

OUR COUNTRY.

Liberty does not mean independence of law.
But the right Of selEgovernment by our own
laws.
Freedom for every one to do as he pleases
without regard to the rights of others, is anarchy
NOT republicanism.
Equality does not mean that each should have
the same amount Of property as every other, nor
that all should have the same calling. To de-
mand this would be as if we should ask that the
earth should be all hill, or all valley.
There must be diversity Of condition among
men as long as there are differences in character
and capacity and different ends to be answered in
civil society.
BY equality, mean that all shall be equally
protected in their rights, and have the opportunity
TO rise by their industry and well doing, according
to their several ability.
We have no despotic government, costing a
hundred fold more than sufficient to sustain re-
public. We have no landed aristocracy---no
union of Church and State--and no sinecure priest
hood. No minister with us can be settled un-
called by his hearers, but each one stands upon
his own character without anything to break the
force Of responsibility is in his calling ur-
ged by as powerful necessities as is the farmer.
The soil belongs to us--and is owned in fee
simple, and for the most part, by its cultivators,
or is in the hands of Government for sale, for
the benefit Of the whole, or to any who may
wish to purchase.
Our constitution and our laws are our own;
they were made and are sustained and enjoyed
by ourselves. There never was such people.
never such luxuriant and boundless soil thrown
open for the benefit of the cultivators--never
since earth was made, have men been let loose
under the stimulus of such high hope and the
pressure of such motive to continued action.
And we are wonder to many, and wonder
even to ourselves. 4 t,4art -#
But how to preserve liberty, there's the rub
Other nations have made themselves free, but
their light Of life has been like the meteors glow
flashing athwart the horizon and going down
in endless night. Shall it be thus with ours?
Have we been called into the light Of liberty and
shown what we may be, only to be thrust back
into more terrible darkness? ". " ,,..n..
trust not. trust we shall shine brighter and
brighter, till the nations, encouraged by our sue
cess, shall break their chains and walk erect and
free over the fair earth which God has given
them. ~,
When at first we set up for independence,
Kings, Mobiles, and Priesthood stood aghast
They pitied us poor orphans who had no Church
and State to take care Of us--they feared that
we should all 60 back again to skins and acorns.
But we have kept along for SO years or more,
and we have in that time made some bread stuff,
some cloth, and considerable pork: and we have
thoughts Of trying it SO years more-and if we
stick to the good old way Of : Virtue and Liber-
ty,' | think we shall succeed.- DR.. Beecher.

young leaves are taded, sprinkle every time On
my plants about inch of earth like that OF
which make use TO cover the grains. Convinced
OF the disadvantages, such as the loss OF time and
the employment Of soil much more extensive,
which the taking up of the roots the second year
must cause, in common with many others, | only
take up mine after the third vegetation, and some
days afterwards l replant them at two or three
inches deep, and three inches distant in soil
prepared for the purpose. Lastly, each year |
replant them in fresh earth, having learned by ex-
perience that they attain their perfection in pro-
portion we the otener change the location,
above all if they contain sand, gravel, earth com
ing from leaves, if they have been fertilized, for
many with good composts, and if they have fed
other plants.
Whatever the pains we take III choosing the
grains, few perfect flowers are produced at the
first blossoming which happens in the fifth year.
In the following, they appear in proportion to the
good choice which we NAV have made OF the seed
which has produced them, or the aptness of the
soil. The same process is to be observed as to
the improvement in the colOrs, which at first
vague, confused, after the lapse of an uncertain
period, characterize themselves in distinct man
ner, and acquire the perfection of which they are
susceptible. Every tulip out of the seed, and
when yet in rough state.- is called saOifch or
color. This state may last from two to fifteen
years, or more. As soon as it presents the re-
|quired conditions, it assumes that of conquest,
which it preserves until it has received final
name.
After the first Towering, all those whose coro-
nails are badly made, whose petals are small, or
which may have some appearance of yellow or
a weak and crooked stem, are weeded out.
After the fall of the petals, the heads capsules)
are cut to give the root the nourshment which the
useless grains would have absorbed, and thus ac-
celerate its growth.
The inutility of number of stones which grow
around the young roots, causes them to be de-
stroyed during the time which precedes the com
plete development Of the colors. After the fourth
growth, the roots are treated like those Of a ma
tnre collection.
Propagation by stones. The stones Of tulip
produce always plant indentical with that from
which they proceed. The epoch Of their flow
ering is always in proportion to their greater or
lesser development: it occurs after time which
varies from one to four years. In soil prepared
in the month Of August they are to be planted in
September, at two, three, four inches intervals,
according as they are larger or smaller great
number would die in the drought, if we neglected
to put them in the earth until November In
planting and taking them up, the same order is to
be observed as is followed in an established col
lection, in order to avoid all doubt to the dis
tnguishing of the varieties. Their utility is SO
much the greater, they will serve to repair the
orseen accidents might cause in the old collection.
