HORACE GREELEY'S OPINION OF JAMES


In 1871, Horace Greeley, editor Of the New
York Tribune, leading whig paper, wrote a
memoir of the late Judge White of Tennessee
He says, in speaking of the election Of the egisa-
ture which instructed Judge White out of office:
"In 1889, JAMES X. POLK, ONE OF. THE
ABLEST MEN AND MOST POWERFUL
SPEAKERS IN THE SOUTHWEST, took
the field as the administration (Van Buren) can
didatt for governor; and after canvass of unpre-
cedented vehemence, in which he proued himself
an Ouermatch both in speaking, talent, and in per-
SOnal address and popularity, for his opponent,
Governor Cannon, he was elected by some twen-
ty-five hundred majority"
This may be found in the Biographical Annual'
for 1S4l, page So. We have the work, which may
be seen by any person who doubts the truth of the
above.
Here is authority which no one can gainsay. In
1889, he was one of the ablest men in the south
west, were Henry Clay lives

WHO ARE THE BRAVE2

Who are the brave? not they who stand
Ready to rush with sanguine brand,
Their vengeiul ire in blood to wreak
On the defenceless and the weak,
Who, with regal power and might,
Remorseessly wage impious fight;
And mid the pomp of wars array.
Spread wide their devastating sway:
Wha DER dominion, far and near,
Establish one dark reign of fear,
And trample down, with iron heel,
On others rights and others veal.
Not they whose sterile hearts can find
No sympathy of human kind;
Who cannot, in one large embrace,
His brethren clasp the human race.
Nay, Despot! at thy dreadful power,
Tho I'VE struck multitudes may cover,
Yet, ev'n the veriest trembling slave,
May have soul than thine more brave:
For valor does not deign to dwell
Within bosom cold and fell.
WhD are the brave? they are who dare
The majesty of TRUTH declare,
While ERROR, boldly they assai,
And never in the contest quail;
But stern, inhexible and strong
In righteous faith oppose the wrong:
Whoss noble spirits proudly scorn
The chains by abject creatures worn;
Who so aTYRANr loathe, his look
They scarce can tamely brook;
And more abhor the very name
Than burning words can we'll proclaim.
Heroes, who, with unainching eye,
The threats of tyranny defy;
Who, resolute, undaunted, bold,
In Freedoms cause, mans rights uphold
With force no earthly power can bind
The potent influence of the MIND.

The approaching campaign is of the
utmost Importance to the safety, liber-
ty, and welfare of this government and
people.-The old bargain and bargain
ers Of 1824-5, between Adams and
Clay, must all come under review. and
the people must again decide that ques-
ton, and the thousand other questions
now connected with that black and
corrupt act, such as an assumption of
State debts, as decided upon by the
Maryland elections, and a resolution
Just introduced into the Pennsylvania
Leglslature-a U. S. Bank. &c. &c.
The times demand that every man
should do his duty--that every repub-
lican should be at his post-that truth
should be scattered wherever error is
found. We issue our Campaign Paper
to meet the wants of the numerous
CLUBS that have desired information
on the subject. a

be cut with one OF straw. y ** For
the agricultural and cart-horse eight
pounds Of oats and two Of beans should
be added to every twenty pounds of
chaf; and the thirty-four or thirty-six
pounds of mixture will be sufficient for
any moderate sized horse,with fair or
even hard work. The dray and wag-
on-horse may require forty pounds
Hay in the rack at night is supposed
to be omitted altogether.
"Horses are very fond of this proven.
der. The majority Of them, after hav-
ing been accustomed to it, will leave
the best oats given to them alone, for
the sake ofthe mingled chaff and corn.
We would, however, caution the farm
er not to set apart too much damaged
hay for the manufacture of the chaff.
The horse may be thus induced to eat
that which he would otherwise refuse
but if the nourishing property of the
hay has been impaired, or it has acqui.
red injurious principle, the horse will
either lose condition, or become diseas.
ed More injury is done by the eating
of damaged hay or musty oats than is
generally imagined. There will be suf
fcient saving in the diminished cost
of the provender by the introduction
of the straw and in the improved con-
dition Of the horse, without poisoning
himS with the refuse Of the farm.
"While the mixture of chaff with the
corniprevents the corn from being too
rapidly devoured, and a portion of il
swallowed whole, and therefore the
stomach is not too loaded with that on
which, as containing the most nutri-
ment, its chief digestive power should
be exerted, yet, on the whole, a great
deal of time is gained by the mode Of
feeding, and more is left for the rest..--.
When horse comes in wearied at the
close of the day it occupies, after he
has eaten his corn, two or three hours
to ,clear his rack. On the system of
manger feeding, the chaf being already
cut into small pieces, and the beans
and oats bruised, he is able fully to sat.
lsty his appetite in an hour and half.
Two additional hours are therefore de-
voted to rest. This is IA circumstance
deserving of much consideration even
in the farmers stable, and of immense
consequence to the postmaster, the
stage-coach proprietor and the owner
of every hard worked horse"
We have known several establish
ments where a considerable number
of horses we're kept entirely for the
road, and fed wholly on cut hay with
corn meal mixed with it. a sufficient
quantity ofhay is thrown into a large
trough, wetted little and the due pro-
portion of meal mixed; and stirred well
together. Corn and cob-meal does
well.
In answer to the question ofour cor
respondent, "what food will fatten a
horse quickest?" we reply, good sweet
clover hay, with boiled potatoes and
meal, or boiled oats will fatten a horse
very rapidly.

FOOD HORSES-TREAT-
MENT FOR "HEAVES"

|
Mr.. e. II. Northrup, of Shoreham, vt.
inquiries "What is the best mode of feed
ing the roadster and work-horse?" SIS
there any cure for heaves"
We do not find the disease here call
ed "heaves," described by that name in
the English works. The diseases des-
scribed under the terms chronic cough,
thick ,oind, broken Vind, ,ohecze, roar
lag, &C., we are inclined to think are
in this country frequently confounded
under the term ''heaUes." They are all,
in greater or less degree, affections of
the lungs. The best food for horses so
affected, is that which is nutritious, rath-
er succulent, and condensed into a
small compass. Dry food, entirely, es-
pecially y large quantity ofpoor or dus-
ty hay, is very bad for them. Vegeta-
bIes, such as potatoes ruta-baga, carrots
&C., are very good. The preference is
by some persons given to carrots, but
we have tested the good effects of po.
tatoes in such cases, and would recon-
mend their use where carrots cannot be
well had. The horses stomach should
not be crowded, and he should be only
moderately exercised, especially soon
after eating. We have known horses
that were said to have the heaves, or
to be broken-w winded, perform great
deal of labor, with proper feeding and
use, for several years; but a radical
cure is II OF to be expected.
In reference to the inquiry about fee
ding, we remark, that the practice Of
"chatfing'' or cutting the fodder and
mixing with it the grain, (the latter in
a ground state, is highlyapproved, and
is every year coming to be more adop-
ted. Hay and straw may be cut to-
gether, if desired, and if the horse is
not hard worked great saving may
in this way be made.
Yonatt in his Treatise on the Horse,
says" Chat may be composed of equal
quantities Of clover, of meadow hay,
and wheaton. oaten, or barley straw,
cut into pieces ola quarter or half an
inch in length and mingled well toge ther
the allowance of oats or beans, is after
wards added and mixed with the chaf."
He advises the bruising or grinding
Of the beans and oats. In this country,
Indian corn might be properly substi-
tuted for beans. Mr.. Yonatt says the
prejudice which some have evinced
against bruislng the oats is, $50 far as
the farmers horse and the wagon-horse
is concerned, altogether unfounded.---
Horses ofquicker draught, except they
are naturally disposed to scour, will
thrive better with bruised than with
whole oats; for greater quantity Of
nutriments will be extracted from the
food, and it will always be easy to ap-
portion the quantity of straw or beans
10 the effect of the mixture on the bow
els ofthe horse. The principle altera-
ton that should be made on the horse
Of harder and more rapid work, such
as the stage-coach horse, &C., is to in
crease the quantity Of hay and diminish
that Of straw. Two trusses Of hay may
