GRAET BRITAIN AND CHINA.

Mr.. Adams has greatly astonished ma
ny Of his admirers, by recent lecture be-
fore :he Massachusetts Historical SOcie.
". His subject was "ihe causes
and the justice Of the war between
Great Britain and China" and TO the
surprise of his audience, the old gentle,
man came out on the British side Of the
question, contending that England was
right. The Boston Post says:-"He pro.
posed to inquire what were the causes Of
The war-whether il was a just war-what
was the duty Of the Independent ma
tions of Europe. and what the duty of the
people Of tie U. States in this contest.
Only the two first branches of his dis.
course were discussed; and as to the last,
he left it TO be inferred pretty strongly
that it was the duly of the United States
TO aid Great Britain in the wal, and join
in the sacking of Canton and Pekin, and
che butchery Of the miserable Chinese!'
He cOntended that the refusal of the
Chinese to to take the opium ought not
20 be considered as the cause of the war,
any more than the throwing over the tea
IN Boston harbour was the cause of the
American revolution. The real cause OF
the war was the refusal of the Chinese TO
trade or negotiate on terms of reciprocl-

for war. Strange doctrine, that, bu:

ANEcRo LEGLsLAToR.-They have had
some queer doings at the late election i'll
the BAY State. Ii seems that in the town of
Townsend, Mass, the Wings, Loco Focos
and Abolitionists are equally divided ,
and each made a nomination for repra.
sentative. As in that State a mAjoty over
oil is necessary to an election, both par
ties urged the AbOltionists TO with draw
their nomination and even proposed 10
unite with them on man who would
represent either Wing and Abolition pgin'
ciples, or Locofocoism and Abolition
but the Abolltonists would run a candi-
date or prevent a choice. After two or
three unsuccessful ballotings, the two
parties vexed at the obstinacy Of their
Abolition brethren, determined TO give
them a fulI.blooded Abolitionist, with
out mistake. They accordingly came ia
an understanding upon the subject, nom
mated very black, but very respectable
old Negro, and marching to the polls in
body, elected him as representative ia
the Massachusetts Legislature by an
overwhelming maiOrity.-N r. ETPresS

Agriculture is the fou ndaiion Of

the earth presents 10 skill and industry

Money is not wealth. Money is coveted
because it can command labor; hut of
what use would it he i( labor could not
be commanded What would it avail to
possess all the riches of Polosi, if there
by we could not acquire the produ Is of
agricullurei What are mapufacturers
concerned in but these products? WHAT
freights the birks Of commerce in their
liquid fight, threading every channel and
whitening every. port, but the products

ernment derive its revenues but from the
fruits Of agriculture? What constitutes
the wealth Of the country, but her cotton,
hemp, sugar, rice, tobacco, wool, wheat,
beef; and pork9 Agriculture can only
be considered as the creator of wealth.
The merchant, The manufacturer, The
sailor, the various artisans and trades.
men, perform their part in making the
products OF agriculture more valuable
in Transporting them SO that The advanta

riculiurs alone produces. Like the lea
der of Israel, she strikes the rock, the
waters flow, and a furnished people are

mandine interest of the country, witt
