A Coon SToRy.-One day, sturdy
peasant in the environs of Evreux, was al
work in the fields amidst storm and rain,
and went home in the evening, thoroughly
tired and drcnched to the skin, He was
met at the house door by his loving wife,
who had been at home all day. "My
dear" said she, at has been raining so
hard that could not fetch water, and so |
have not been able 10 make you any soup
AS you are wet through, | shall be obliged
70 you to fetch me couple of buckets Of
water; you will not get any wet,er." The
argument was very striking; so the man
took the buckets and fetched some water
from the well, which was at a considerable
distance. On reaching the house, he found
his wife comfortably seated by the fire;
there, lifting one bucket after the other, he
poured both over his kind and consderate
mariner. "Now, wife," said he," you are
quite as wet as am, so you may as well
fetch your water for yourself; you can't
get any wetter."

AGRICULTURE.

One unfortunate circumstance, that seems,
with very few exceptions, to accompany the in
vestigatons in the science of political economy,
is the abstraction of speculation from the inte-
rests OF agriculture and its restriction to the adj
yancement of the wealth of nations," through
the instrumentality of commerce and manufac-
lures. The labors of the agriculturist are, to
be sure Observation-Disclosures, being producer,
he cannot be overlooked-he may even be casu-
ally pronounced the chief producer and the
mainstay of the wealth and prosperity OF a
country. But the annuncation of his digniied
station among producers being once carelessly
made as a truism, which requires no lllustra-
ton, his interests are dropped in discussions on
political economy, and all the ingenuity and
learning of writers this science, are expended

DISTRIBUTION.

The enemies of the Administration are en-
deavoring to show that the President in 1889
was in favor of unconditional distributions
They have failed of success. But if he aoas in
favor of the measure in $780, we contend that
there would be no inconsistency in his oppos-
ton to it now. Then, there was surplus re-
venue in the Treasury. Noao, the Government
is in debt. 1t would be a strange consistency
indeed which would impel man to advocate
measure of expediency at all times, and under
all circumstances. At war with England, Mr..
Claw would advocate an attack on Canada--at
peace with all the world, would he still
advocate the attack to preserve his cOnsiS-
tencv? And so with distribution. The Ar
my and Navy are broken up for want of reve-
nue., and shall the millions arising from the
lands be thrust out of the Treasury
Consistency! Mr. Clay opposed National
Bank at a time when its operation might have
relieved the dstr,sses of the country, in some
measure-nolo, he DEGREES the establishment of
such an institution, when it would be impossi-
BILE to dispose of the stock. Admirable consist

THE RHODE ISLAND AFFAIR.

Our private letters inform US that every effort
is making by the leader of a certain party in
New York to impress the public with the belief
that the Administration is opposed to any and
all change in the Charter of this State. Not so
fast, good gentleman, not so fast. The Admin
tratlon has nothing to do with the projections or
defects Of any State Constitution. Heaven for
bid that the Executive should ever possess a
power of dictatorship in this respect-a power
which would make such constitutions as the Presi-
dent for the time being might wish, to clothe
himself with supreme sway. We doubt not
but that members of the Executive Department
would gladly see all defects cured, the right
of suffrage extended, and the representation
equalized; but they can not make their own
wishes override the law of the Constitution.

GENER AT, CASS

We perceive the Protest of our Minister at
Paris against the right of search, has been
roughly attacked by the Intelligencer, and the
Integencer in turn, attacked by the Globe,
and the shafts made to glance against the Ad-
minisrration. This is all wrong.
In the first place, General Cass certainly
knows his duty better than the Intelligencer can
tell it him, and the Administration is no more
responsible for the assertions of the Intelligen-
Ger than it is for the London Herald, paper
resembling it in many respects. In the second
place. the wisdom and patriotism of General
Cass enttle him to the confidence of the Exc
culive, aud we doubt not he enjoys it. AT least
pens will not be found wanting, either in his ma
tive country or France, to defend his fair name
against any open or insidious assaults that may
be made upon it.
Why does not the Globe make the Admins
tration responsible for the assertions of the Bos
ton Courier, New York American, Louisville
Journal, and Alexandria Gazette .094l

npEp ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Journal OF Commerce
has received Buenos Ayres intelligence to the 2Oth
of April, 1t gives accounts of the success OF the
Buenos Ayrean forces in the North, in consequence
of which great number of assassnations, estimated
at 900 or 300 had taken place in the city Of Buenos
Ayrcs. The atrocities comm tied by the Federalists
against the Unitarans Central party, are almost

anniversary of General Rosas installation, they COM

threw their bodies in cart to be taken out OF the
city. 90 ,,,, 49, ha. &c , u
sons were found hanging in the principal public beef
market having had blue ribbons drawn through the

MANY of these assassinations were acts OF private
vengeance and it was not till others had been killed
besides Federasts that the authorities interfered
These proceedings have been entirely amongst the
natives themselves. The rights and property Of for
egners have been respected
The Unitarians were escaping to Montevideo and
elsewhere, as many of them as could Others were

WHO'S TO RLAME2

The ultraists are in fair way Of playing
the game so celebrated in an Irish town called
Kilkenny, in which two of the feline race were
the combatants. The chroniclers tell us that, on
one occasion, the battle waged so iercely that
nothing was left of these examples for modern
chivalry but their tails! Now, to our thinking,
the course of two distinguished personages who
lately met in Kentucky, and who are recogniz-
ed as the heads of their respective cliques, will
very likely be used up in similar manner by
the time the fight is concluded We claim only
the privilege of spectators, and look upon the
matter with the same nonchalance that the
Western amazon did when her cara sposa and
the bear were engaged in hostile warfare.
The reduction of the Army and Navy by
Congress has set these worthless in an extensive
snar While the organ here is endeavorng to
Justify the conduct of the Congressman, the
whippers-in, in Philadelphia and New York,
are laundering forth &C like roaring lion' at the
impolicy of such proceedings. Who's to de-
eide when doctors disagreed The President
certainly cannot be held liable for the "unnuu-
bered thousands that have been thrown out OF
employment; but there must be some cause for
the effect Perhaps it was owing to the want
of swell regulated" United States Bank.
Who knows?
Enough of the ultraists Of both sides voted in
favor of appropriations to have them only de-
Gently defeated. This was considerate, as ex-
plantations at home would be rather awkward, if
not unnecessary, in several instances. In at
tempting to head the President, they have head
ed themselves, and these thousands" who
have been deprived of bread, need no monitor
to tell them BY whom the blow was struck.
Fortunately for our country this British mode
of I" stopping the supplies" does not affect the
Chief Magistrate. He can look calmly on the
Vaccinations of his false friends as well as his
open and avowed enemies, and the People can
easily find out who's to blame when their inter-
ests are neglected. We mistake the character
of the American citizen much if the factioniss
in Congress do not receive most terrible lash
ing at the next elections. They feel it is COM
ing now, but are unwilling to depart this life
political, without giving the world the balance
of venom that remains in their composition. Ii
is the last effort of expiring nature which init
mates dissolution.

MISREPRESENTATION.

The tariff recommended by the President In
his annual Message, has not been objected TO
by either party. The People approved it, and
the politicians were afraid to denounce it. MIR.
Clay himself said it was sufficient for every
good purpose. The manufacturers acknow-
lodged that the incidental protection proposed,
and inevitable, in laying duties to raise an am
pie amount of revenue, would satisfy them.
Such tariff the President is anxious TO see
adopted. Such bill he would doubtless sign
with cheerfulness. Then, if such tariff is pre-
cisely what is demanded by the country, why
has it not been passed by Congress? We hope
it will yet be done. We hope the ultra Wings,
who, in their unrelenting hostility to the
President. would gladly see the country plunged
10 irreparable ruin, and are exerting them
selves to produce such calamity, are
doomed to defeat and disappointment
We trust that the honest members Of both par
ties will not be willing to sacrifice the revenue
bill on mere cavil about the disposition OF the
land fund. We submit it to Congress, and to the
country, if this fund is not matter of seconda-
ry importance in comparison with judlcious
revision Of the Tariff We ask the People, the
Wigs, if they are prepared to sustain those
Legislators who would willingly destroy any Ia
riff bill, rather than consent to suspension OF
the Distribution act until the National debt IS
paid We trust that the opinions of the Peo-
pie on this subject will be speedily made known
through the Press, and by memorials TO Con-
gress. We desire TO know if the mdnufdctu-
rers themselves attach the same vital import
ance to distribution that is done by the ultra
Wings in Congress. This is a momentous ques-
ton. fs -
