HAIL STORM AT UTICA.-The hail
storm at Utica, on Friday afternoon, broke
more than thousand panes of glass.
The hail was from the size OF bullels and
walnuts 10 That of peas and corn. The
branches OF the trees were cut great
deal, and considerable damage done to
them. The leaves were cut as with a
knife and covered the ground. The hail
laid upon the ground in small drifts ON Sat-

IMPORTED STocK.-We are happy to
announce the return FROM England Of our
friend A. B. Allen, Esq, OF Buffalo, who
has visited Great Britain upon an agricul.
,ural tour, and inspected all the principal
herds Of the kingdom. Perhaps we have
no one who could have done this to better
advantag'. Mr.. Allen has long been de.
voted to the breeding Of cattle, aud has
raised some beautiful Durhams and pigs,
such as we have never seen surpassed.
He now brings home from his excursion,
a large collection of South Downs, York
Kenilworth and Berkshire pigs, shepherds
dogs, Dorking Fowls, English pheasants,
&c. He has under his care valuable
sheep, worth $500 head, for Hon. Mr..
Stevenson, Bishop Meade, of Virginia,
and F. Rotch, Esq, Of Butternuts, N. Y.
Mr.. Rotch's lamb is South Down, only
six months old, and weighs one hundred
and fi(ty-two pounds. 1t is indeed an ac-
QUESTION to our State, and we doubt not,
will prove source Of profit to the import
er. Mr.. Allen came passenger in the
Hendrick Hudson, Captain Morgan. The
last named gentleman brought very fine
Durham COW for his own farm on the
Connecticut. We also learn TINT an ex.
tended notice Of this stock will appear
from Mr.. Aliens own pen in one Of the
agricultural periodicals at an early day.

II, this year, there are s, 900, 900 ofIho
Irish, with not enough even Of roots 10
eat, in ten years more the number will
be increased. If, at this moment, starr
vation stares in the face Of millions of
English artizans, where is the hope OF
better times. For years they have
been hoping for reform. In allowing
the Tories to gain the ascendiary,
they tried the very last experiment.
No lemporizing policy will serve them
longer.
The day that the people of England
rise up, and. with their own strong
hands, take the rights they can never
peaceably attain, that day shall we
think better Of humanity. Endurance
of wrong is no virtue. He who sub
mits TO fraud is its accessory. Man
has no right to be wronged. A small
evil may be endured, as the only
means of attaining great good, as for
the sake of a cure We may submit to an
operation; but then the evil becomes
portion of the good.
1t is unjust to the people Of England
the descendants ofour common ances-
tors, 10 suppose that ten years more
can pass without a.revolution. Heav-
en- grant that it may be bloodless one
but if blood must beshed, in Gods
name letit flow! Il were better that
the head of every naughty and beauti-
ful despot ofGreat Britain should roll
in the dust, than that this state Of things
should continue. What matter a few.
headless trunks, and a few puddles of
blood, in comparison with the freedom
and happiness Of unborn millions? If
tyranny will not lay down privilege at
the feet of justice, let the sword force
it from her. The revolution must come
and in whatever form we shall well
come it.
Have we ne. lesson, here? Are we
removed from all the fear Of similar
fate? No. Monopoly and privilege
are the constituents of tyranny. They
are as faithful in Republic as in
Monarchy. Already we have so much
of both as to produce some evil and
threaten more. Monopoly and privi-
Iege have given England a luxurious
aristocracy and starving people. The
same causes will produce the same ef-
fects here, and while we sympathize
with the condition of the oppressed, let
us never cease to oppose every en-
croachmen, Of power here.
The people Of the United States
owe it 20 themselves, and to the cause
of universal humanity, to maintain
equal rights against the smallest en-
croachments of privilege, and th )
slightest exhibition of the spirit Of mo-
nopoly. If the people of this country
would save their children from the fate
of the wretched starving artisans ofEu-
rope, let them grant no charters of ex-
elusive privilege.

A Political Speech. 1t is seldom that
we meddle with politics, but once in a
while we are tempted into the field. We
have now political speech that suits all
members of all parties precisely. The
person who delivers it must wait until he
is called out at large meeting. Placing
h:s thumbs in. tic arm holes of his vest, he
must say;
Felioto ciiizens;-I rejoice TO say that
the country is redeemed, regeuerated, and

Fellow citlzens-This is what always

And dies amid her worshippers!"
Tremendous cheering will follow this

OF the
MASSACHUSETTS LINE,
Who died Of wounds

Received in action with the
ENEMY, ,oN THE 25TH of July, ,1S14.o
And this is honor! This is fame!
Why, brave man! cen now, I read the
tribute to thy bravery in the bulletin of
the action. Thou hast comrades, fa-
ther, mother, sisters, to mourn thy loss:
and noa0 the strangers foot carelessly
spurns thy frail memento; nor father,
mother, sisters-no ashes. Peace to
thy names, brave countrymen, where
'er they sleep! See from this point
how gently and gracefully undulates
the battlefield. The woods, bowling
to the evening breeze as the soft sun
light pours through their branches,
show not the gashes of rude cannon
shot; the plain, loaded and bending
with the yellow harvest, betrays no hui
man gore. Yon hill scathed, scorch-
ed, and blackened with cannon fame,
the very resting place Of the deadly
battery, shows no relic of the fierce
death struggle, as, covered with the fla
grant clover and wild blue-bell, the
bee in monotonous hum banquets o'er
it. Naught mars the serenity of Ma
ture as she smiles upon us. Yet burnt
in common funeral pyre, the ashes O.
| those brave men, of friend and foe
there mingIein the bosom from whence
they issued. The frenzied passion
past, the furious conflict Ger, they
have lain downin quiet, and like young
children, sleep gently, sWeetly, in the
| lap of that common mother, who shell,
ters with like protection the little field
mouse from its gambois and the tur
baned Sultan sinking amid his pros
rrate millions. Shades of my gallan
countrymen, shades of their daring
foes, forewell! Meier had warrior
more glorious death-couch; the eterna
cataracts roar your requiem.
