GEN. ANDREW JAcKsoN.-Among the
many gratifying thoughts that force them
selues upon us, OIL the triumphant election
of James X. Polk, none are more vivid
than those which present the Hero and
Sage of the Hermitage, as the chief of the
conflict; and though in the very decline
oflife, still able TO ENJOY the noble achieve.
ment.
The triumph is complete vindication
by the American people. OF the great
measures Of his administration and those
OF his successor, Mr.. Van Buren,. I. is a
verdict in his favor, an offering Of the peo'
pie, in the last day of his sojousn amongst
US, of their attachment and confidence in
the purity of his motives and the sound
ness of the measures be imprinted on the
features of This republic.
But this gratifying reflection was not to
stand issola.ed as 10 measures. This
groas triumph Of principles was not TO De

the person Of private euemy or a doubt

grounds, have been incomplete. slough
The measures were triumphant. The cup
of glory was in the order of things. 10 be
full 10 overlooking. JAMES X. POLK
was, politically speaking. child OF his
own raising, son Of the most filial affec-
,ion--one who had stood by him in the
darkest hours of his war with the monster
bank, and its hordes of panic makers,
with devotion that never blinked-an
attachment that knew no abatement. The
triumph Of Col. Polk was, therefore, al>
most triumph Of his own person. as
well as browning victory of the meas

the old Hero and Patriot live to ENJOY the
fruits of The triumph, in common with bis

A Mystery ExpLAiNkD.-A close observer
Of men and things, says the Ohio Cul,iva.or,
told US the following little history. which we
hope will pIow very deeply into the attention
Of all who p'ow very shallow in their soils -
Two brothers settled together in - coun-
~. One Of them pitched upon a cold, ugly.
clay soil, covered with black jack oak, not one
o: which was large enough to make half.a-doz-
en- rails. This man would never drive any
but large, powerful Conastoga horses, some
seventeen hands high, he always put three
horses to large pillow. and set it some ten
inches deep. This deep blowing he nvaria-
bly, prac'iced. and cultivated thoroughly after.
wards. He raised his seventy bushels of
corn to the acre.
This mans brother had settled 60 miles off,
on a rich White river bottom land farm, and,
while black jack clay soil yielded seventy
bushels to the acre, this fine bottom land
would not average fifty. One brother was
steadily growing rich on poor land, and the
other steadily growing poor on rich land.
One day the bottom land brother came to
see him Of the 'back jacks" and they began
TO talk about their crops and farms, as farmers
are very apt TO do.
How is it," said the first, "that you man.
age on this poor soil to beat me in crops %
The reply was, Il work my land.'
That was it exactly. Some men have such
rich land ,ha, they wont work it; and they
never get step beyond where they began
They rely on the soil-not on labor. or skill,
or care. Some men expect their lands 10
work; and some men expect to work their
lands; and this is just the difference between a
gooi and bad farmer
