THE DAILY UNION.

SPEECH or NJ BERRYER ON THE Foley or
FRANCE TOWARDS THE UNITED STATES AND
ENGLAND.
We have already given in our columns brief
and imperfect sketch from the London Morning
Chronicle of the speech Of this renowned Legtimst
orator and statesman. We lind the discourse re-
ported at length in the "Monteur" Of the LIST Of
February and we hasten to lay the Esl and largest
portion Of it, in translation, before our readers.
We shall find room for the remainder as soon as
possible. We call attention 70 those passages OF
the portion which we publish to-day, IN which M.
Berger expresses his conviction that arbitration as
mode OF adjusting the Oregon controversy, is, from
the nature Of the case, i0hoiy inadmiss'bk. We COM
mend also to the attention Of our readers and 10
those journals which have seen fit To censure the Pres
ident for the language of his message in relation
TO the interference of France in the Texan question,
NJ. Benyer's striking and powerful review Of that
whole subject. 1t is mastery effort Of reason and
sloquence, fully worthy Of M. Benyer's great re-
nown. Il vindicates the course Of tho President in
his message this point, so conclusiyely and I'M
answerably;It makes the true state Of the matter
so plain, that yield its large place to it in our
colamns without regret. II soems 10 US that il
must ssnes on this topic, the voice Of faction itself
NJ Benyers position and politics as Royalist party
leader arc well known. His testimony in favor of a
great republic Is the testimony of an unwilling wit
ness; but OF witness whose sense Of right and hon
is too strong to permit him to falsify his convie-
tons. We need hardly say, therefore, that his tes-
tmony, so given, IL of the..highsst emphasis and
weight We commend the whole speech 10 the
careful perusaI which il 10 well deserves.

sire of Texas and the United States for annexa.
ton. f.rr
That step, gentlemen, was full Of peril to Mexico
that step could, indeed create in the United States
a grievance and complaint against Mexico, which
might well become the occasion of war.
As to the balance of power in America, avow
that it seems ncomprehensbe to me as to the two
orators who have preceded me. In North America
there are two great nations in possession the United
States and England. independently Of the territory
now in dispute, the English possess there terrific
nv more extensive than that Of the United States.
As regards territory, then, the state Of the bal.
ance question is not doubtfu England on the one
side aud the United States on the other are the
two great possessors Of the territory OF North Amer
lea.
What, then, ia the American balance Of power
Did you fear that the annexation Of Texas would
increase the power of the United States, to the
prejudice of England? IL so, then 1t was evidently
no French interest which you were guarding by
your interposiIon; and | cannot comprehend the
motive which the minister alleges. He will permit
me to tell him that on this point Of the American
balance of power there 49, in my judgment, broad
contradiction and strange non sequitn IN his Ian
euaeo. When, in respect to this American balance
of power, the question Of preventing the annexs-
ton of Texas arises, he great interest in it, be-
comes anxious and alarmed about it, unites himself
to England, and gives to his diplomatic agents in
structions conformed to those Of the English agents
He is nightly anxious about annexstion--an an
noxation of but small importance after all, both as
regards territory and population.
But when, the contrary, aqucston ofreal import
ance arisesa question Of force of sscendency, like
the Oregon question--whcn question comes up in
votving the supremacy and the possession OF the
United States upon two great oceans involving, too,
their reserved right to the exclusive navigation OF
their river-a question involving in its importance

BETTING POOR ON RICH LAND, AND
RICH On POOR LAND.

a close observer of men and things, told MS the
following little story which We hope will plough
very deeply into the attention of all who plough
very shallow in their sUils:-
1.-Two brothers settled together in
county. One Of them cold, ugly, clayey
soil covered with black jack oak , not of which
was large enough to make half dozen rails. TIM
man would never drive any but large, powerful
Cunestoga horses. some seventeen hands high
He always put three horses To large plough
and plunged II in some ten inches deep. Tn
deep pluughing he invariably praciised and zulu
waited thoroughly afterwards. He raised his sew
enty bushels of corn To the acre.
This man had a brother about six miles of
settled rich white river bottom farm, an
while a black jack clay soil yielded seventy bush
els To the acre, this fine bottom land would nu
average fifty. One brother was steadily CROWN.
rich on poor land, and The other steadily CROWN,
poor rich land.
One day the bottom land brother came down
see the black jack oak farmer, and they began l.
talk about their crops and farms, as farmers al
very apt to do.
How is il" said the first. " that you manag,
on this poor sol TO beat me in crups %
The reply was " to0rk my land'
That was it, exactly. Some men have sucI
rich land that they won't ,cork it j; and they nev
er gel step beyond where they began The,
rely on the soil, and not on labor or skill or care
Some men expect their LANDS to work and SOM
men expect 10 ,cork their lands, and that is jus
the difference between good and'had farmer.
When we had written thus far, and read it /
our informant. he said :" three years ago trav
elled again through that section, and the onl
farm that saw, was the very one of which "
have just written. All the others were desolat
