From the Boston Post.

According to the reasoning of the ultra Wings
with regard to the Veto Mr. Adams should have voted
for the tariff bill, notwithstanding he did not approve
OF IT. What are some little conscientious scrupes
OF one man, to weigh against the majority of the
wing party and the glory and salvation Of the coun-
try by tariff, such as meets the wishes of his con
stltuents' Why should Mr.. A. presume to say nav
to the voice of Massachusetts; Can the Atlas ex
pect by its metaphysical absurdties, to reconcile
Adams course IN this matter TO a constituency whom
IL every day calls upon to curse John Tyler for sim
liar exercise of opinioni The party which reouires
cider barrels and other visible embens of its prnc
eiPes, will never be able to understand the fine soph-
istries of Atlas politicians.

THE BOUNDARY TREATY IN ENGLAND

The English papers, says the Boston Couri,r, are
furious IN their articles upon the subjec, of Lord
Ashburons mission to this country. The opinion
seems to have gained ground that he has made must
unworthy and unwarrantable concessions in order TO
preserve peace and no small quantity of ignorance
and stupidity is mixed up in their comments, with
great deal of braggadoco

explains the reasons which induced portion of the
Democratic Senators TO vote for the Treaty and ex-
poses eectuely the Federal INTERPRETATIONS of Mr.
Calhoun Not single solitary one of the Repub-

WOULD MAKE A WORSE ONE, they consent

Wool GROWING on THE PEAIaiEs.-We
have recently set forth the advantages Of wool
CROWN. upon the prairies of the west and we
are happy 10 have practical exemplif!ca,ions
Of the correctness of our views. One Of ou-
townsmen las, spring put two thousand COM

upon some prairie land in Illinois, fer which
he had paid Sl,25 per acre. Two shepherds
with their three dogs take care Of the sheep

will receive in few days 5000 pounds more,
being the proceeds Of his first shearng. The
sheep thrive remarka ably well, and the texture
and staple of the wool seems TO have been i'm
proved by removal to the prarles. The mere
cos, Of the commones, sheep farm a! the east,
will be immensely more than the purchasing
and stocking Of one west, while the difference
in getting tue product to market is insignlf-
cant. The cost oi getting WOO! from Illinois
TO this city is less than a cent pound. The
cost Of getting wool in his market is worth
from 25 TO 81 cents.--Buffa!o Journal.

MK. MARSHALL AND THE PLED0E.-Ton
MARSHALL, as he is affectionately called, has
lately published an address delivered before
Total Abstinence Society Of New York. in
which he treats severely--not more 80 than
they deserve-those persons and societies that
have taken him to task for fighting duel, as
If he had thereby broken his pledge, and sub
jected himself 10 the criminal jurisdiction OF
the Westinghouse. He tells them pretty
roundly that they are meddling with what is
none Of their business-,hat they are depart
ing from their object when they attempt to
yoke total abstinencs to any code or creed Of
morals or religion. We are glad IN see SO
strong man as Mr.. Marshall taking resolute-
ly this position in the outset. The Washing.
tonians appear before the world as yefo.mels
in drink. But wherever there is an associa.
ton Of men distinctive enough TO create u pref
udice Of class, there will then be an incessant
temptation to exercise all the power which
combination gives. If they swervs one step
from their frst object they become instantly.
and 10 most cases, hopeessly corrupted. They
become political, religious and even Iitera-
ry inquisition--losing al the same time the pow
er and the impulse to do good, and fall into
the great trade Of buying and selling me souls
of men. l. is the tendency Of all societies.
The ambitious join them because they can con-
fer distinction, the selfish because they make
gain by ii-and The same motives which con-
ver,ed these two classes. will govern their con-
duct afterwards-and if they get the control,
the society is instantly and Inevitably changed
to den Of conspira:ors against the public
good, and its original purpose is worn only as
a hypocritical cloak to cover its perversion to
the qualification of the individual ambition and
private advantage Of its managers. Let no
society ever believe itself secure against this
danger, and let all who cherish good and
loy-.he mixture even of good may be as fatal
as Of evil, since they are equally a breach OF
the covenant and an opening wide Of the door,
to general Standardization Mercury.

Where iS Rlx uON

There is certain class of people in the u
nited States who disgrace their country in ev-
cry thing. They are the scum of society, tho
they claim to be the exclusives of fashion aud
learning. We have conversed with intelligent
foreigners, who spoke with establishment at
the doctrines these people hold, worse, they
say, than the highest tory advocates Of Europe.
They ape every Thing that smells of European
aristocracy and in turn become the laughing
stock of the world. They infes, our large cit
les, and attempt tolead the ton OF our villages.
They are insclent, o!ficious and u great bore 10
all men OF republican sense or those accustom-
ed TO the conventional rules Of the aristocracy
of Europe. But Boz has shown his own want
Of propriety ia thus assaiiing them in his re-
turn to England, after their lick spittle treat
~ment of him in this country, for in fact they
fairly Tapped the dirt from his shoes. He was
in this city day or 80, bu, we did not call to
see him, and cannot therefore tell how he !ooks,
but we guess how many will look after reading
the following extract, from letter of his pub
ished in London paper. We heard that
Mrs Boz could eat more meat at a sitting than
any man in Ohio, and we considered the sight
loo gross for the trouble of calling, SO we es-
cape the scathing many get. But it is their
due, and next time we hope they will suffer
wandering Englishmen to pass 10 peace 30.

Though 10 my travels from city to city, l,
of course, found much TO be pleased will, and
astonished at-yet the total difference between
our good old English customs, and the awk-
wardness, the uncouth manners, and the un-
mi,igated selfshness which NEE. you every
where in America, made my journey one of
good deal of annoyance. do not think the
Americans, as people, have much good taste.

their own way Of course, the glaring faults
that strike stranger DO not appear; but to any
Well-bred man from abroad, the effect OF the
prevalent features cf American character is by
no means agreeable
''In the larger cities, the grand aim Of tho
people seems to be money mailing. Every
good desire, every refined wish, every aspira-
ton for the lofty, and the pure. and the holy,
is swallowed up in the grea: whirlpool OF ava.
rice. Before crossing tho Atlantic, | had
heard much Of the Mriftiness Of our American
offspring; but must confess was not pre-
pared to see SO much nseanness.'
ut may be said that /, of all foreigners,
ought to be blind the dark spots Of American
character, treated as have been by the
American people. | do not agree with this
view of the case did not seek their atten-
tions, their dinners, and their balls. On the
contrary, these things were forced upon me.
MANY times TO the serious Inconvenience OF
myself and my party. The kindness Of q
friend, if it is troublesome aud officious, often
annoys as much as the injuries Of an enemy.

They held Thanksgiving the other day in
Rhode Island at the triumph Of despo,ism and
martial law over free suffrage and the rights
of the people. So George the Third ordered
thanksgiving for the supposed triumphs of
British arms over the rebels Of the Revolution.
The names of the clergymen who debased
their sacred office, to bes,ow eulosles upon
tyranny, and analhemas upon the down'irco-
den and oppressed, ought to be given to the
public, that they may be rightly claaslhed
with the Byeses of the revolution, and the
Osgoods and Parishes Of the last war. With
in few years they will have TO account tor
this outrage upon The spirit Of Christianity
and the principles Of the American Revolution.

Story, on an appeal, which is, in effect, that
mechanics have right, collectively or lndi-

for their services, without being subject to
prosecution for conspiracy. Truly, the rem.
nants of aristocracy are being exploded, and
the people are beginning to believe that me-

labor as bankers have to regulate their rates Of
