moreover half the labor Of the driver. SINK in

produces health, strength and comfort; pre-
serves the lives of domestic animals and canses
them TIC thrive on less food, and secures from
danger all kinds OF crops. And libe.ality in the
utensils OF husbandry, saves labor to a vast extent
by providing The proper tool for doing the work
both well and expedtiously.
Foresight is another item in the economy of ag-
ricuiture 1t consists in preparing work for all
weather, and doing all work in proper weather,
and al proper times. The climate Of the United
States makes the first easy, and the second

THE TREATY OF ANNEXATION.

THE TREATY OF ANNEXATION"
We nave reason to believe that the state
ments in the following extracts from the Let
ter oil san occasional correspondent of the
New York Tribune, referring to the Texian
Treaty, are founded OIL correct information
"a story is put in circulation that General
ALMoNrE, the Mexican Minister, has given
encouragement that the consent Tof Mexicol
may be obtained for considerable sum OF
money. From this the inference is urged
that in no event will war with Mexico ensue,
though he did announce determination TO
that effect on the part of his Government, last
November. This story is utterly false.
"Mr CALHOUN made proposition of the
KIND supposed, but ALMoNrE replied that he
had not the slightest authority to enter into
any such arrangement, and that it was his
private opinion that none such was possible ::
that I'm Mexico no administration could survive
The offer or acceptance of such proposition,
and least of all SANTA ANA, who had former
ly labored under u suspicion of having at
tempted compromise with Texas while he
was prisoner there; that by reason of this
he lost all consideration at home, and had re-
gained his standing only by extraordinary ex-
erions and heroism (attended with the loss
OF iimo) IN repelling the invasion bv The
French at Vera Cruz."-.Nat. Int.
The Nationals htelligencer intimates that it is
contemplated by the friends of Annexation to car
~ the question by a coup-de-main--a joint reso-
luton of the two houses of Congress; and thus
iorestal the Constitutional action Of the Senate
upon the Treaty, which would require vote of
two-'hirds OF lha, body to ratity it.-This is in
Il
ueed most daring projec--one which would
'hh'ct more vital stab upon the Constitution
'"ah IL mas ever yet received, and could not fail
10 CONFUSE the country from one extremity to
the other. We cannot believe, moreover. tl,a,
any real advantage could be secured Inv it
and hence, we hope, a little sober reflection will
cause the idea, if entertained, to be abandoned
