Peach Tree WORMS

Much has recently been said and writ

proved so destructive TO the peach trees.
In many sections, according 10 late advi-
ces, their ravages have been truly depio-
rable. Maine, from what impulse we-khow
not, af,er few years Of inactiyity, has at
last made an effort to produce, at least .
part, of the fruit she consumes-and the
peach, undoubtedly one Of the most valua-
bio products Of the fruit garden, had be-
gun to- elicit no small degree Of attention
when, The appearance Of This tremendous
foe threatens to check Che enterprise, pre-

mt sigh, il he. can make "spec" by the
transaction; and the American people will unre-
Iuctantly sacrifice the passion nearest aud dearest
10 their hearts, if they can thereby gain truly
national object.
Link the great and growing West, then, TO
Won by new bonds, and the permanently predomi
ma Mt interest in America will cherish new views,
and adopt new line of policy. Do this. and
YOU will convert those who will otherwise be MIR.
polk's instruments, into Mr. Folks masters,
when YOU will have 10 deal with him as the
strong, but no longer as the dangerous, Executive
official They entrusted him with their power.
in case he might have 10 avenge what they con-
ceive to be their wrongs; but do them and the
neope of England justice at once, and he is in
s,antly shorn of nine tenths ot his present peni-
poentiary attributes for evil.
One of the great objects Of the West, is TO es-
,ablish an intimate commercial alliance with
ENGLAND Had the probabilities of the speedy
consumption of such an alliance been strong
two months ago as they now, the tone of the
Presidents Message would have been widely diff
terenl from what it is. Taking his cue from his
Marty ssss The next budget of news which
America received from Europe, will convey the
intelligence of significant movements which are
taking place, or which are about taking place, on
this side Of the Atlantc-movement in which
the Americans are, perhaps, as largely interested
as is England-and the progress of which they
will see is now as irresistible as is The fall of
their own Niagara.
They will then learn that during the short
time which interviewed, the "strong govern
menl' has fallen-that Lord John Russell has
been the prime Minister of England, and that he
is once again the leading politician in opposition,
and that Sir r. Peel is rec constructing his Cabi-
net, task in which he can only succeed if he
wishes that Cabinet TO stand, by establishing his
Government on the broad basis of the repeal of
the Corn Laws. The issue of all this is clear,
and not the least obvious fact connected with il
is, that peace with England is henceforih the
best policy of America.
