Mr.. WEBsTER's ANSWER TO MR..
BOLTON.


MY DEAR sIR.-f have received your letter
oflast evening requesting me to state my opin-
ION of the powers of congress on the sub
Ject OF slaves and slavery; and of the existence
OF any wish or design on the part of the north
ern men, to interfere with the security or
regulation of that species of property.
My sentiments on this subject, NV dear
SIR, have been often publicly expressed: but
can have no objection to repeat the dec
laration of them. fit be thought BY Won
that such declaration might in the small
est degree, aid the friends of union and the
constitution IN the south in dspelling pref
udlcesswhich are so indutrionsly fostere d and
IN quoting agitations so unnecessarily kent
alive.
In my opinion, the domestic slavery ofthe
southern states Is subject within the exclu-
sive control of the states themselvs; and, this,
am sure, Is the opinion of The whole north.
Congress has no authority to interfere in the
emancipation of slaves, or in the treatment OF
them IN any of the states. This was so re-
solved BY the House of Representatives, when
congress sat IN this city IN 1890, on the re-
port OF committee consisting almost entire
iy OF northern members; and / Go not know
an instance OF the expression of a different
opinion, IN either house OF congress, since.-I
cannot say that particular individuals might
not possibly be found who suppose that con
gress may possess some power over the sub
Ject, but do not know any such persons. and
IT there be any, am sure they are few. Tie
servltude. of so great portion Of the popula-
isonof the south is undoubtedly, regarded at
The north, as great evil. moral and political;
and the discus SONS upon it, which have re-
Gently taken place in the legislatures of seve-
raj OF the slave-holding states, have been res d
with very deep interest. But it is regarded,
nevertheless as an evil, the remedy for which
hes with those legislatures themselves, TO be
provided and applied according to then. OVID
sense OF policy and duty. The imputatiOns
which you say ard say truly, are constantly

most impossible to subyer the soil. lflhey are too
wet they are more injured in ploughing than are any
kinds of soil. These are the strongest and most
durable soils, and the more we work them at the
proper time the better for the land.
Pulrerisdtion. The great object of oughng
is to break INTO fine particles the cohesive sods of
the field. The roots Of plsrts in general cannot
penetrate hard soil sufficiently TO get their proper
nourishmen, unless it is first broken in pieces. In
woodlands this is effected in great degree by the
fallen leaves and by the broken limbs which decay
and render light and porous the surface OF the soil
The frosts of winter also cause general shifting

composed and hence we see remarkable change
