We cannot too deeply deplore the per-

continue their war upon the Constitution.
Is it your object to compel US to come out
with labored defence Of its budding beau

ed accuracy of its grammar, its charming
syntax, its beautiful coherency ofplan and
execution, tie harmonious congruity OF it's
principles, and above all. the rare artistical
workmanship with which the Declaration
Of independence and State Constitutions
are interpolated and mangled, that their
disjointed members may be put together in
this most harmonious confgurationg Do
not compel us to enlarge upon each Of these
fruitful themes. Let US see the Territory

The DUKE OF PoRTLAND.--0nc of
his tenants q small farmer, was falling
year after year, into arrears of rent.
The Duke rode TO the farm, saw that it
was rapidly deteriorating, and the man,
who was experienced and industrious,
totally unable ia manage il from pow
city. In fact, all that was on the farm,
was not enough TO pay the arrears.
"John," said the duke, when the far
mer came to meet him as he rode up to
the house, 81 want 10 look over tho
farm little" AS they went along,
Greatly" said he, everything is in
very bad case" This wont do. ! see
you are qnite under it. All your stock
and crops wont pay the rent in arrear.
| will tell you what must do; | must
take the farm into my own hands; you
shall look after il for me, and will pay
you your wages" OF course there
was no saying nay-the poor man
bowed assent. Presently there came
reinforcement of stock, then loads Of
manure; and at the proper time, seed,
and wood from the plantations for re-
pairing gates and building. The Duke
rode over frequently. The man ex-
erted himself, and seemed quite reliey-
ed from load Of care by the change.
Things assumed new aspect. The
crops and stock fourished; fences and
outbuiIdings were put into good order.
In two or three rent days, il was seen
by the stewards books that the farm
was making its way. The Duke on
his next visit said, "Well, John, |
think the farm does very well now.
We will change again; you shall be
tenant once more; as you now have
your bead fairly above water, ! hope
YOU will be enabled to keep it there"
The Duke rode OF a, his usual rapid
rate. The man stood in astonishment:
bat happy fellow he was when, on
applying to the steward, he found that
be was actually re-entered as tenant to
the farm, just as it stood in its res oTed
conditional will venture TO say, how
ever, that the Duke himself was the
happier man Of the two.
