HE GRAND PRAIRIE.

The praires at this season afford the finest view
imaginable; they resemble vast lakes with headland
and peninsulas on the right hand anG on the left tut
ting out into sea of grass and flowers; while in the
distance, IN various directions, are groves of
timber, like small islands imbedded in an ocean of
green. The bays and covers formed by the project
ing headlands are being converted into cultivated
farms.
There IS constant succession Of flowers from early
May till the fross of October In the spring pink and
white prevail; during summer scarlet and crimson,
and towards autumn yellow predomnates, inter-
spersed with other colors. At this time strawher-
rles Of large size and fine flavor abound All we
have to do in order enjoy them in perfection is an

twenty to fifty rods from the house, and they will

IN that situation These snakes differ in size and APP
pearance from the large timber snake, as much as
the prairie wolf does from the large ones. They

OPINIONS
OF THE DEMOCRATIC PRESS


The condemnatory remarks Of the various
Democratic journals received at this Office, in
reference 10 the uni ast course Of the Globe have
recently multiplied to such an extent that we
cannot find room for one tenth Of them in cur
columns.
1t has now been just twelve months since
the Globe began its coarse and gratuitous as
saults on President Tyler, and the result is Just
what we anticipated and predicted. Thar print
has efftctually and forever destroyed its own in
huence, and what is worse, it has grievousy
miSled some FIVE or SIX journals, which is about
the sum total that copied its articles and endorsed
its intolerant opinions.
1t is well known that when the Globe com
menced the war, we suffered its attacks to re-
main unnoliced Tor several weeks, 10 the hope
that it would see the Improperly of it, conduct
and ultimately reserve lis oppugnancy for the
common enemy. But the more we submitted
the more violent il grew, "unHl forbcarance
ceased to be virtue" We then deteruin, to
rep,l its assaults iih the same promp,itude
they were made, and the following opin oGs o!
some of the al,lest and most influential Demo
cratic editors in the country, ind cate y no was
in the wrong:

For the qualification of those editors processing to
be democratic who now anahematiZe the President
and who in doing are only following in the wake
of the Washington Globe, copy the following re-
marks of the editor OF that paper, which appeared
under date Of tenth September, lS4l. The Globe
then declared that Mr. Tyler had

EST to the PEOPLE. Fed rahsm procaims him un-

encomium il could bes.ow.

Tyler, and has made it the MOST GLORIOUS
EPOCH of his life"
Let it be remembered that this same Globe now
opposes with all its might, the very ndN dual it so
recently declared bad "prored himself TRUE to his
PRINCIPLES and HONEST to the People, As
