| Committee of Foreign Relations, who on the
| 18th of June asked TO be discharged from their
further consideration. This nome mmittdl pro-
position was met by a motion to recommit
! the report, with instructions to report in
full as to the merits of the question:" and
this was proposed to be amended so as TO in
struct the committee to report a joint resolu-
| ton for annexation; whereupon Mr.. ADAMS
moved an amendment, to the effect of in
structing the committee TO report the follow
ing resolutions, viz:
'ReSoLued, That the power OF annexine
the People of any independent foreign State
to this Union is power not delegated by the
Constitution Of the United States to their
Congress or to any department of their Gov
eminent, but reserved by the people,"
"ResOired, That any attempt by aet of
Congress, or by treaty, to annex the Republic
of Texas to this Union would be a usupation
of power, unlawful and void: and which II
could be the right and The duty of the free
People Of the Uniou 10 resist and annui."
Upon these resolutions Mr.. ADAMS made
a speech, which will be long remembered by
those who heard ii; in which he exposed and
denounced with scathing severity, the whole
Texan movement, and the duplicity Of the
administration in regard to it.
The sudden and extraordinary recognition
of Texian Independence, followed by the re-
sponsive application of Texas 10 the Union,
had aroused the people to sense Of the dam
ger. This wakefulness of the public mind
suggested to the managers the expediency of
a ROH-ccmnitai policy, for season: ard tho
Report ofthe Committee of Foreign Relations
was the result. Mr.. ADAMS res olutiors
took the bull by the horns; & his speech which
was continued during fragments of the NOR
ming hour" from the 10Th of June TO tie 18th
Of July, being the close of the session, gave,
for the time being, an effectual quetus 10 the
project for annexation. The session closed.
pending Mr.. ADAMS speech and no action was
ever had upon his resolutions; nor do the Jour
mails Of Congress present any trace of tie an
neXaiion movement for three years af:er,
But the project was not abandoned. Tho
Pandorn's Box, as Mr.. ADAMS called it, was
again opened by the presentation TO Congress
at the session of 1912, Of resolutions of AL
ALBANIA, Mississippi and Tennessee in favor Of
annexation. No action Of Congress followed
these movements; but they were accompa-
MED by sympathetic movement on the part
of numerous Southern presses, and followed
by an extraordinary speech in Congress by
Mr.. Wise in favor Of annexation; and al
equally extraordinary letter from Gov. Gill
mer, member of Congress from Virginia TO
the same eflect-both which shall, hereafter
more particularly notice.

MR.. EDITOR
l did not design to ask further indulgence
in your columns as TO any reply to Mr.. Jew
etts, but as those of your readers that do
not read the Culiiyator may suppose that Mr..
Jewett has frankly, and honorably, made full
satisfaction in that paper, | wish them to I'M
derstand that it is no satisfaction at all.
Mr.. Jewett supposes that had delayed I'M
til had seen the February No. of the Guilt
vator, should have been more mild. In
this he mistaken. On the contrary, do not
know but that l should increased the lashes,
as have te0 more seasoned.
The miserable sophistry by which Mr..
Jewett attempts to escape in this matter is
really disgusting. The public demand a
clear explanation or a full confession. Ell
Their will answer the purpose. Let us have a
letter from Mr.. Randall asserting that he did
not receive any of the knowledge which he
possessed Of Mr.. Jewett's sheep, from Mr..
Jewett, directly or indirectly;-that he wrote
by hearsay, or on his own hook, and then it
will be no marvel that he did not get but one
thing right in his communication. To wit ::
That Mr.. Jewett admits he gave for Fortune
when he purchased him 5000. In this one
point Mr.. Jewett admits that Mr., Randall
was correct.
Mr.. Jewett takes occasion, when replying
to my communication, to make great bus
ter about his merino ewes full blood of
course ~ 200 of this sort-200 of that kind
sc. What relevancy has this to the point at
issue 1t is far from me to adrertise my
sheep in this manner. To the point friend
Jewett, to the point
Is it not obvious that Mr.. Randall under
stood Mr.. Jewett as saying that the stock of
Fortune was so much superior to the stock of
other bucks, that man might with the great
est ease obtain from him a FLOCK ofsheep
that would shear between five and six lbs. 1t
is flock of yearling bucks. ewes, and weth-
ers. Not a few choice ones selected. Not a
few ewes selected, from which TO raise stock.
Not 80 ewes selected from flock of 1000
sheep, as was the case with those that Mr..
Wilson raised.
Mr.. Randall does not so understand it. But
/ repeat that the impression evidently was that
a flock would shear this. This is the point
l say here is deception. No such result can
be expected from the stock of Fortune, oil
any other buck (merino buck) in existence
The fact that Mr.. Wilson had 80 bucks tina
. sheared this, proves nothing. Were they no
raised from select ewes? Ipity the breede
that will use buck that will not ensure CLIP
equal to this under like circumstances d.
not wish to deny that the stock of Fortune i
good. No such thing, but 1 do wish that pur
chasers may not be shamefully deceived il
these matters-honesty is the best policy.

!, and the progeny of Fortune and Don Pedro

~ Some caution is requisite in passing
our opinion upon strangers-a caution how

wish to make slight correction in the
print Of my former communication. Iwould
have it understood that the eve from which
Fortune was raised was descendant of those
purchased on Long Island, not that she was
purchased there.
Mr.. Jewett in his communication in the Feb.
No. of the Cultivator states that the eve lived
to the age of sixteen years which is not true !;
thirteen or fourteen was her true age. He
also says that her average fleece when in her
prime was 71-2 pounds which is just one
pound too high. 1t is strange that these mis-
takes should all happen to be on one side-a
little too large. TYLER STICKNEY.

SPIRIT OF POETRY.
mr. would We know the secret spell
Greayes around my soul!
AID perchance / may not tell
Where lies its vague control
Like some perennial fountain far
Within the desert deep.
Where wild-howers wave, and sunbeam
smile,
Aud yerdant moses creep.
There some lone timid bird may HE,
And on It's margin rest,
And sip the wave, and plume its wing,
And bathe its weary heart.
On far as memory's earliest ray.
Can pierce the faded past,
fount was gushing in my soul
And swelling high and fast.
And while my spirit bathed Tor aye
In streams that cannot die,
Emotion quivered on my lip,
And trembled in my eye.
Icannot tell how feelings gush,
Words were not given to me,
But know that many chord must snap
To let the spirit free.
Though all unseen the current roll
lis cheer enough for me,
The light that from thy presence flows
Spirit Of Poesy.
With glowing heart-and kindling eye,
Thy spirit form | see,
Gliding with thine own mystic tints
The cold reality.
That light is shed DER all the earth
And lowering in the sky,
And slumbering deep in pearly shells
In ocean caves that lie.
! see it in the morning mist
That wells the splendor deep:
And in the FURNISHED cloud of eve
Where summer sunsets sleep.

And Winters snowy wreath
In bud and blossom bursting fair,
From natures kindly sheath.
II gives new splendor to the MORN
New glory to the night,
Whose radient orbs high DER my head,
Beam on more heavenly bright.
Mysterious shades Of beauty tint
The drapery of time:
The universe rolls slowly on
Majestic and sublime.
My soul claims kindred with the skies
And all that's glorious there:
Fain would hold communion sweet,
With all below that's fair.
There is a shrine within my hreast,
That shrine We may not see:
The imagery Of loneliness
Is glowing there for me-
There is chord within my soul.
Ic may not hear its tone:
Unearthly music sweeps the string
For me, for me alone. d.

recent advance in the price of cotton abroad,
Is equal to an addition of $500, 900, on the
stock now on hand in this country The eff
