MASSACHUSETTS AND THE SOUTH.-We
understand that Mr.. Hubbard, the agent ap-
pointed by the Stale of Massachusetts to
test the laws Of Louisiana respecting free
negroes that come within the limits Of this
State, arrived in this city a day or two
since. and has expressed his determination
to remain here until the Legislature assem-
bles. 1t has been SAID, also, that Mr..
Hubbard has been advised to abandon his
mission, but that he declines doing SO I'm
til the representatives Of the people take
some action in the premises. To what
extent this rumor 10 correct we cannot say.
The Legislature meets tomorrow, and we
suppose this matter will be speedily consid-
cred by it. II seems to US that Mr.. Hub
bard might be let known, in a manner be-
fitting the dignity OF the State, that Louis
lana can, for the present, take care of her
self. The conduct of Massachusetts has
been novel and iIl-advised, calculated TO TO-
meni bad passions and engender sectional
animosites. That this Commonwealth
will tolerate an agent appointed by any
sovereign power to NEEDLE with her police
regulations. and interfere in the admiaistra-
ton of wholesome laws, can scarcely be
believed. In so far, however, as the Leg
islature proceeds in this matter with Arm
ness tempered by moderation, it will
achieve triumph. The subjec, is one
fraught with excitement and evil; but we
trust the laws and preroga,ses Of Louis
lana will be maintained with The calmness
that adds dignity to the assertion of right. =

MANUFACTURE OF Butter The fol
lowing results are derived from the expert
meats Of Professor Trail, as detailed in the
transactions Of the Highland Agricultural
Society of Seotland:-1. That the addition
OF sene cold water facilitates the process,
or the separation Of butter, especially when
the cream is thick and the weather hot
2. That cream is more easily churned
alone, than mixture Of cream and milk
3. That butter produced from sweet crea m
has the finest flavor when fresh, and APP
pears to keep longes, without acquiring
rancidty F.; but the buttermilk so obtained is
poor and small in quantity. 4. That the
scaldlng of the cream, according to the
Devonshlre method, yields the largest
quantity of butter, which, if intended for
immediate use, is agreeable to the palate,
and readily saleabe but if intended TO be
sailed, is most liable TO acquire, by keeping,
a rancid flavor. The process Of scalding
is troublesome, and the milk after the re-
moval OF the cream is poor, and often would
be unsaleable from the taste il has acquired
from The heating. s. That churning the
milk and cream together, after they have
become slightly acid, seems 10 be the most
economical process on the whole. because
it yields large quantity Of excellent but
ter, and lhe buttermilk is Of good quality.
6. That the keeping Of butter 10 sound
state seems 10 depend on its being obtained
as free from uncombined albumen or ca
sein and water as it can be, by means Of
washing and working the butter when ia
ken from the churn.
