JousW EpsosDs, Esq, said that ne was not
physically able to speak 10 the audience oul ne
,,,;,s willing to spend and be spent IN this
c.nse He had been in favor OF the bankrupt bill
eor two reasons: first because II would operate as
secrritv against fraudulent debtors and, secondly
because !, brought relief to the really unfortunate
Without this law there is adequate provision on
either side. In the first case we have various
processes such as judgements, executions, &c,
whereby the last farthins may be taken from the
pockets of the honest debtor-but there is no
mode OF obliging the dshonest=,s surrender all.
The unfortunate debtor, again has 40 relief and no
hope. lad he merely committed theft, he might
have served out his time in tie Penitentiary and
then come forth again to establish character.
Had he been guilty Of murder tRe gaiows might
have eXplated bis crime ana satisfied the law.
But he has been GUILTY OF being in debt-nnd ne
has no refuge short of the grave. Nr. Edmoad'
confess d that he considered ae law defective in
not including corporations but he had no fear but
that il itzbe allowed to 90 ia,o effect, within two
Years from tha, day, banks will be included in It's
provisions And it was for this very reason among
Others that ae opposed TO its repeal that ov
its own operation it mi ght compel these banking
corporations come under It's provisions. 1t had
been objected to this bill, said MI E.. that it will
create a jubilee OF the bankrupts throughout our
land-that it is jubilee act. Belt SO for the
jubilee is OF divine and ho, origin. Il was among
the laws OF the Jews, given them from OF high,
that once in certain number OF years there should
come day OF jubilee, when all should freely for
rive those who indebted to theln. And |
an for initiating this good example and would say,
Hail day oirelease 10 thousands and hundreds OF
thousands of our. citizens. he did not look upon
the Bankrupt Law as granted by the grace OF the
governments bu; act OF simple JUSTICE To one
sixth Of our hlalc adult population, and ne urged
all to Join heart and had in thwartng the projects
of Repeal. He concluded BY Offering the follow
ing resolution which was unanimously adopted
ReS0lUed, That we DO not consider the Bankrupt
Law boon granted the unfortunate b. the grace
of The Government, but act oil pure Jsstce de-
signed to restore 70 the country the productive ener-
gies OF one sixth OF the adult white male population,
and "a operate for the mutual benefit OF Debtors and
Creditors enacted pursuant to the Constitutional OBJ
legations OF the National Leg .ature, long alter those
obligations should nave been fulfilled, but not less
Just or less needfu from that consideration.
Brief addresses were also made by cne or two
other gentlemen, of which we cannot, Tor lack Of
space, present even the brief sketches we have
given of the others. They embraced the same posi-
lions assumed by the former speakers and were
ceivcd with great appause by the meeting.
SOMETHING FOR THE FARMERs.-The last mum
Der of the Cultivtaor contained an article headed
"Work for the Month, from which VIC have
lectcd the following:
The winter months, to the farmer, are months
of comparative leisure, but he will find no time for
idcness Negligence is no more to be tolerated
in JANUARY than in July.
Animals require salt and water as rHuch in win
ter as in summer, and the good farmer will sec
that they have both.
Animals fed on dry hay will do much better if
they have meal of roots once or twice week.
For the horse, we prefer carrots, and even if fed
on grain, these roots will be found most heathfu.
| Do not feed your stock in the street, or about
| your fields, but in your Yards. The man who feeds
in fields or roads, loses his manure, peaches bis
grounds, and by the habit wastes at least one-third
of his fodder.
If any of your animals exhibit symptoms of fall
Ing off, such growing poor, neglecting their food,
&c they should Immediately receive extra atten-
llon. Cows should have masfes of bran, or more
nutritive food, and all kinds of stocks SO condition.
cd, should be carefully protected from the severi-
ties OF the season.
Do not starye your fowls, il you expect large,
wcll-flled eggs, or plump Fat pullets. Your profits
from your fowls will in general be in direct proper
ton to the and feeding you give them. Re-
member they must have a box of sand gravel,
plaster, ashes, &c. to roll in and pick pebbles
from, to ala in the digestion of their food and pre-
serve their plumage and health unmpaired.
Give your horses salt frequently with their grain,
and if you and a good handful Of ashes, q
| ILL,
lie or bots. If you keep your horses corn, you
will find it better for them to have tlc grain and
cob ground together.
Keep your lambs and old sheep separate and, if
possible, never allow more than fifty of any kind
10 lie together. Where too many are herded to.
gether, the strong are always in advance, picking
out the sweetest and best of the hav. and tramp
| ling the remainder. This is OF the ways IN
which the weak grow weaker as well
AS the strong stronger.
Be sure to keep your diseased animals, no mat
Ter of what kind, if you have any, away from the
rest OF your stock.
Keep your stables and pens well Uttered with
straw and If YOU have plenty oft, keep your yards
in the same condition Littering adds to the COM
fort of your animals, and increases the quantity OF
your manure.
Examine Your apple bins, and separate the sound
from the partially ecuyed fruit.
Feed all your animals regularly. You find such
mode of feeding best in your own case, and you
will find it so with them. Where animals are fed
irregularly, they remain constantly in restless,
dissatisfied state whereas, when fed punctaally,
they eat, and expect no more till the stated hour
arrives.
Look out for your ilre.wood for the ensuing
year. Frost seasons wood rapidly, and if you cut
and spill, now the trouble of drawing tons of wa
ter to your wood,house may be prevented. No.
