which arc to US ambiguous, we shall be
abundantly satisfied. 1t is with deep regret
that we have not found more to praise in the
correspondence of the American Commits
sioner. So far as our private feelings are
concerned, we would have American officials
second to none in all that makes regulations
e~nviable. 1t is much to be regretted that
ANYTHING should maj the harmonious inter-
course that has always existed between this
nation and the citizens Of the United States.
Although this controversy may arouse some
degree of national feeling, the GOODNESS will
be but temporary. Indeed, a more needless
cause Of acrimony or disputation never ex-
isted. Nothing can be palmer than the
meaning of the statute in Wiley's CASE
The law made the offence, as he committed
it, a mere misdemeanor. In every case
when citizens of the United States have been
tried for crimes, they have had a jury accor-
ding to the tenor of the third Article of La
haina, and until it becomes no longer a law,
they will continue to enjoy the same privi-
lege, if privilege it is, to be wronging them
selves and others. Surprising that Wiley's
offence had been construed to be of that de-
gree ofturpitude which in the Hawaiian code
constitutes it a crime. If convicted, he would
have been either banished for four years to
a desert island, or put at hard labor in pris-
on, at the discretion of the judge. Mr..
Brown, in attempting to prove the offence a
crime, was doing Wiley no favor; he did
not lessen the probability of his conviction,
but if brought in guilty, he increased, a
hundred fold, the severity of his punishment.
The %propriety of the distinction which the
Hawaiian statute draws is susceptible of am
pie demonstration; but it would be foreign
to the purposes of this review.
We close our remarks with an ~allusion to
the strange course which Mr.. Brown has
pursued, by collecting affidavits about town,
and forcing this government to depart from
the usual routine of diplomatic correspon-
dence by a~ppending to their letter counter
afidavits. The word of a minister is as sa-
cred as the honor of his nation, and is to be
relied upon in every case. 1t is the voice of
the sovereign, and as such must be received.
That the American government, whether
they consider Mr.. Browns demand just or
unjust, will not countenance this novel pro-
ceeding, neither the ~discourteous treatment
o the officers of His Majesty, and the coolly
informing Mr.. Judd that he has written what
was false (mis-stated) in no less than seven
instances, nor the extraordinary departure
from official proprieties and the rules Of COM
position, canno be doubted. The duty they
owe themselves and the comfy of nations
forbids it. The decision is left with them,
and here W. will drop the subject, express
ing our firm reliance upon the wisdom and
equity of the cabinet at Washington.

they have now on hand large supply of the above
ploughs Of this years manufacture, which, owing to
the change of times enabled to offer at great

From the liberal encouragement extended to US
last year by the sale of 1000 Of these ploughs,
and the universal satisfaction they gave, we were
induced TO spair pains in selecting the very best
Of materials, and employing the best mechanical
skill in their construction. The consequence has
been that have produced results that are highly
satisfactory to ourselves, and must be to those who
purchase of US. We have now plough which is
well adapted to SOIL that it sets all competi-
ton at defiance. For the information of thouse UNI
acquainted with its construction we will offer this
brief explanation: The whole surface Of the plough
is ground smooth. The mould-board is made of
wrought iron. The shear of steel, (Which is at
tached to the moud-board by three small bolts,) so
that it is easily taken off by means of the clcys.pin

OF the mouidboard is constructed on strictly scien-
tiic principles, so that 1t perfectly bright in
the most loose and loamy SOIL Which is in truth the
great dssideratumin this section of the country: as
it thereby enables team to accomplish at least one
third more work in day, with far greater case, and
in much better manner, than with one that will

Tur WHITE FOOTED DEER

From, the Columbian Magazine fer Jan
Tue WHITE FOOTED DEER
Br WIN. CULLEN BRYANT.
It was hundred years ago,
When, by4he woodland ways,
The traveller saw the wild deer drink,
Or crop tho birchen sprays.
Beneath hill, whose rocky side
O'erbowcd grassy mead,
And fenced cottage from the wind,
A deer was wont to feed.
She only came when on the cliffs
The evening moonlight lay,
And no man new the secret haunts
In which she walked by day.
White were her feet, her forehead showed
A spot of silvery white,
That seemed to glimmcr like star
In Autumn's hazy Right.
And here, when sang the whippoorwill,
She cropped the sprouting leaves,
And here her rustling steps were heard
On still October ewes.
But when the broad midsummer morn
Rose DER that grassy lawn,
Beside the silver footed deer
There gazcd spotted fawn.
The cottage dame forbade her son
To aim the rife here;
alt were SIM" she said, TO harm
Or fright that friendly deer"
This spot has been my pleasant home,
Ten peaceful years and more;
And ever, when the moonlight shines,
Ho feeds before our door.
The red men say that here she walked
a thousand moons ago;
They never raise the war-whoop here,
And never twang the bow.
IL love TO watch her as she feeds,
And thinks that all is well,
While such gentle creature haunts
The place in which VIC dwell"
The youth obeyed and sought for game
In forests far away,
Where, deep in silence and in moss,
The ancient woodland lay.
But once in Autumn's golden time,
He ranged tue wild in vain,
Nor reused the pheasant nor the deer,
And wandered home again.
The crescent moon and crimson eve
~>Shone with mineling light;
The deer upon the grassy mead,
Was feeding full in sight.
He raised the rife TO his eye,
And from the cliffs around
A sudden echo, shrill and sharp,
Gave back its deadly sound. ~
Away the startled creature sprang,
And the next sunrise threw
lts rays on many crimson drop,
Amid the glimmering dew.
Next evening shown the waxen moon,
AS sweetly as before;
The deer upon the grassy mead
Was seen again no more.
But ere the crescent moon was old.
By night the red man came,
And burnt the cottage to the ground,
And slew the youth and dame.
Now woods have overgrown the mead,
And hid the cliffs from sight;
Thee shrieks the lowering hawk at noon,
And prowls the fox at night.
