We think the above is sufficient to satisfy any
candid person that the claim TO soil the intclli-
gence," set up by the Federal party, is unwar-
ranted by the facts. In addition to this we may
as we'll remark that nearly all the leading literary
and scientific men in the United States belong
to the Democratic party; such as Bancroft, the
historian; Brownson, the Reviewer; Bryant, the
poet; Paulding, the author Of the Dutchman's
Preside, and a hundred other good things, and
late Secretary Of the Navy; Irving, author Of
Knickerbocker's New York, and at present our
Minister to Spain; Cooper, the American Novel
ist; Neal, the inimitable Charcoal sketcher;
S~edgwick, Hawthorne, Butler, and a host oil
others whose names we might mention. 1t fact,
we can't see why any learned and intelligent
man could act with Il party of SUCH bigoted feel

this country.

PUBLIC LANDs.--We learn from the Report Of
she General Land Office, just transmitted to
Congress, that the sales Of the Public Lands
during the present calendar year will amount TO
l,G39,G1l acTos, and will produce more than
two millions Of dollars, which exceeds the pro-
ceods OF sales for the last year by more than six
hundred thousand dollars. OF the large guam
tity of land Illus sold, not more than 1000 a
ores have been disposed Of above the minimum
price Of s 1925 per acre; this IS, doubtless, owing
to the operation of the presumption laws, which
enable the actual settler TO secure the choicest
land at the lowest price, More than 100000
patents for lands lave been issued, and transmit
ted for delivery to the purchasers.

SHALL WE HAVE AN AGRICULTURAL

The policy of our State Legislature of l843,
as demonstrated by their "Act to encourage and
promote agriculture" has given great satisfaction
to the friends of agricultural Improvement thro'-
out the State and is justly considered by
them as the beginning of an important line of
policy that will be pursued and sustained to the
manifest and lasting improvement ofthis farming
state, A majority of the counties of the State
have come forward and formed societies accor-
ding to the provisions of this act with view to
take advantage of the states gratuty; and in the
counties where no public move has been made,
very favorable state of feeling on the subject is
supposed to exist among the farmers generally
and it is probable all that is wanting is starting
move to put in operation society in each coun-
ty in the state.

LETTER FROM MRS. TORREY,


Mr.. L. SALISBURY: SIR,-Permit me, thro'
you, to acknowledge the receipt of thirty-six dol
lars from friends in Providence, and also to ex-
press my gratitude to them for such sub
stantial manifestation of their sympathy in this
hour of trial, There are many reasons why this
token of remembrance is peculiarly grateful.
You well remember the time of my first acquant-
ance with you. 1t was in my bridal days, when
came to reside among you. In the commence
ment of my career, looked forward to the hon
ors and pleasures of this life rather differently
from Solomon, who in his retrospective view pro-
nounced them all "vanity and veXation of spir-
it." had protested to renounce them, and
and now think | was not mistaken, but | did not
then know ohat 1t waS that | renounced. There
was a sken charm thrown before the prospects
of life, and it required the eye of faith to see in
the remuneration of all earthly good, our greatest
happiness. But nor faith and experience go
hand in hand, and tremendously assert that they
are "vanity."
God has in many ways afflicted me since !
left your city, though would hope in love; but
never before have been the pensioner of your
bounty And why am nowl Ask the Chival-
rous South! Yes, ask those who have boosted
of their gallantry, why they have deprived me Of
the husband of my youth, and my children Of
their fathers protection and support And list
en- to their reply. They will tell you, ave re-
gret her fate, but our la'0s mast be sustained"
Yes, here is the reason; those la1Cs! When
writing of these laws, would that my pen were
dipped in gall; not so when writing of the indi-
viduals VIM placed my husband where he is.
When abiding to them, I would write with the
preparation ofthe gospel of peace and forgiveness
| can forgive them, though they have placed my
husband in felon's prison, and doomed me to
poverty and wdowhood But those td'cs, re-
peat, would analyze with the dissecting knife
of truth, till their true nature and obligation
were felt, as they will be felt inhe light of eter-
nifty.
am aware that am treading on unforbidden
ground. Many friends, Christians, and even
ministers of our Lord Jesus, regard these laws,
wicked as they acknowledge them to be, as bind
ing upon all who come within their jurisdiction
And they think they have ''thus saith the Lord
for their opinion They will tell you with Paul,
"Let every soul be subject to the higher powers
For the powers that be are ordained of God
And rulers are not terror to good works, but
the evil" always like to repeat the last clause IN
this connection, not only because it rs necessary to
a light understanding ofthe rest, but because it is
generally left out when quoted by those who advo
cate the binding force of slave laws. Allow me tc
repeat it: "And rulers are not terror to good
works, but to the evil" So then the apostle was
speaking ofrulers in the execution Of righteous
laws But when the law becomes a terror tt
good words, it ceases to become righteous law

work of reformation, and keep back from doing
the Lords work?
Now hope there is not minister in YER
mont who does not in heart condemn southern
slavery as great sin; and most are willing to
confess it with their mouths yet do fear that
many of them throw their influence into the
SC ale with shareholders and help the ungodly-
They have not purified themselves for the work
of reformation, but hang back and frown upon
those who condemn slaveholding as they do 9TH
err sins, and insist that such great sin should
be put out of the church. Why condemn the
drunkard and fellowship the oppressor? Are ye
not partial, my brethren?-and will not many be
hardened in sin and in6delity by such deceitlu
working! Surely it is time you should purify
yourselves from the pollutions of slavery and try
to raise the reputation of your holy profession by
your holy lives and readiness unto every good
work, Take the lead as you ought, and then
others will cheerfuly follow you But if you
hang back, and will not consecrate yourselves to
the work, then do not compAain if others take
the lead and do the work If priests are not
purified, we must employ Levites. And world
ly priests will, sooner or later, learn that God
will honor those that honor him but others will
be lightly esteemed See Sam. l: 80
