The proprietors Of the different papers
in New Haven have published card,
wherein they state that they are resolved
to charge for the insertion of all notices,
whether for religious, literary, or politi-
cal meetings, OF associations. which might
hereafter be sent to their respective Of
fees. They were foolish fellows to have
done otherwise. There Is no reason in
the world why the publisher Of daily
paper should be expected to pay thou
sand dollars per annum to his compost
tors for setting the type for religious, moral
or political advertisements, without being
paid therefor. A Contemporary has the
following sensible remarks upon this sub.
ject: .
"Every type that is used in newspa.
per must be paid for, either by the pub
Usher or advertiser, and 10 expect notice.
to be published gratis, is to ask the pub
Usher to put his hapd in his pocket TWEEN

cording to their disposition and means.

This remarkable man has astonished Con-
gress, and the whig party, and the nation,
by Bis recent avowal on the floor Of the
House relative to Oregon. He objects 10
the word 'joint-occupation." He says the
treaty now in existence between our gov
erunent and England is nothing but COM
mereial convention, and gives England
nothing but the right Of free navigation,
and free intercourse with the Indians, bui
does mot give to her any portion of the 500
eeigsty Of the country. That sovereignty
is 10 us, he says, and in us alone. HI
therefore goes in for immediate notice to b,
given to Great Britain, and, at the expira
. ton Of the year from notice, for taking pos
session Of the vhole Of Oregon. And th'
old man says, there is no danger Of wa
with England, either! He is right. Iii
idle TO suppose England would 60 TO wa
for Oregon, when such a war would no
only loose her Oregon, but all her Amer
ioan possessions. Hurra, We say, for oil

Farm Buildiiigs,

From an address delivered before the
Oneida Co. Agricultural Society, N. Y,
by EIon Comssock, Esq, the following ex-
tract is made. Attention can hardly be too
fully dawn TO this matter among Us, when
the whole country is engaged in building
and arranging the buildings on the home
stead. a1ip ..4s..5gs..
"There is perhaps nothing in which far
mers as class have been more deficient,
than in the absence OF all taste in the ar
rangemeht Of their farm buildings, not ex-
cepling the dwelling, which although il il
not generally sufficiently expensive, has
been Too often constructed without any re-
gard TO just proportions, and especially
without due regard 10 The arrangement of
the grounds BY which it is surrounded
There is great need of improvement
in every thing pertaining to the arrange
lnem Of all our buildings and grounds, in
cluding the general plan Of the farm, for
strange as it may sound to some, there is
Just as much propfiety in laying oat q farm
in Just proportions, and in fields Of snIia-
BE shape and size, and with direct relsr-
ence to the, conv enience OF approaching The
buildings, &c., as there is in bestowins ,p.
on the streets and public grounds Of 'hs
village Or city like, attention. II costs M
more and untreqneitly much. less exlen-
diiure, TO do these properly, and so as,s
give the whole farm an attractive and pleas
ing appearance, than TO lay il out in SUCH
manner as TO render it repulsive 10 the
man of taste and refinement. Il. t.lal
uThe same remarks will apply with
equal force 10 the erection Of dwellings,
and the laying out ofihe garden and grounds
in their vicinity. In the country, where
land is cheap, The farmer can well afford
an acre ofground 70 devole to the oonyen-
ience and pleasure Of the family, aud espef
cially when this same acre may be made %
produce grass equal to any other part Ot
the farm, besides atfording room for The
trees and shruLbery which should be plsns-
ed in the vicinity Of every iarna house,
An acre Of ground is none tho mitch to de-
vote 10 these purposes, and in making ar.
ransemenis for. building, the farmer shonld
in my judgment appropriate at least 'na'
amount, exclusive Of that needed for ING
garden and other useful purposes. An
acre of ground on most farms will NOT ex'
ceed in value fifty dollars. and to Ornament
it. with trees and shrubbery may perhaps
cost nearly as much mores but nhenlws
take into account the produce which 'na|
be obtained from it if properly managed
there is really very little loss 70 the iarm
er In a pecuniary view. And who
there, ! ask, who had not rather have

Ministers va.War.

We see it statedin Eastern papers, that
various sermons have been preached by
the Rev. Clergymen against the spirit Of
war. Others have appointed special fasts
for the purpose Of supplicating the Gov. Of
the Universe to save us from the scour-
ges Of war. Now there is nothing wrong
in all this, if it is done with right motives.
But we cannot fail seeing whers these
moves are made. In no place will one
find the Clergy so jealous against war As
In old Massachusetts,. Elihu Burritt, and
]. C. Beckwith have been sending their
"scraps Of useful information" all over the
Union, which are calculated to allay the
spirit Of war. They may, and probably
have been hired to do SO by the Boston
Capitalists. No body wants war for wars
sake. But if these Rev. Clergymen tnot
Burritt) think to pray the American peo-
pie into submission to oppression, we
would just predict that they have not go'
such hold on the Throne of Grace as to be
able to do it. But if they wish to remove
the causes Of war by the strong leaver O
their prayers, let them pray at the righ'
Altar. Let them pray for John Bull, fol
then they will be justified by scripture
which says, spray for thine enemy.
These gentlemen had better pray for th'
good Of the country without undertaking e
give definition of what that good consists
in. We calculate to pray Justify for oul
country, right or ,rrong.. f

Oh HAYrr.-The Haytiens recently order
ed the French Consul to leave the Island,
because he was supposed to be favorable
to the Dominicans. Not leaving, they took
him down TO the shore, and forced him to
swim away TO a certain Haytien vessel in
the harbor, and when he got on board Of
that, they aogged the poor fellow severely.
The late news is, thatthe French Admiral
will blockade Port Republican and bon-
bard the town, unless the Haytiens pay the
injured Consul $4,000 as an indemnity
for the injury. The Consul says he was
obliged to leave property to that amo,int

to the intended expedition from that town,
with which lie had purposed to 60 in the

This State is suffering severely BY rea-
son Of the drouth Of the past summer.
The extent Of the failure Of the crop be-
comes more Alarming as the season ad-
vances. What are the resources Of the
people to buy we are not able to say, tho
it is said there are many very poor peo-
pie in that State. With money, or the or
binary means of purchase, they will not
suffer for want Of food. while the supply
is so extensive from other States. This
State gives indication Of a change to some
extent, in her present mode Of employing
her capital. The northern and middle
portions Of it are well supplied with wa.
ter privileges; and as the cotton can be
raised in such proximity to them, cotton
goods can be manufactured cheaper in
South Carolina than in those sections o
country where the cotton has to be obtain
ed through the agency Of transportation.
Charters for manufacturing establishments
have been granted by the Legislature, &C
that liberal opportunity is now presented
to such as may wish to enter into the bu-
siness in that State. We are satisfied thai
the time is not far distant, if it il not now
present, when our ports may be thrown
open to woo,len and cotton manufactures
with impunity to cur manufacturers, be-
cause we are or shall he able to manufac
ture and sell cheaper than any other par
of the world. No doubt the cry Of pro
tecfion will always be heard, because whel
the doors Of our ports are shut to all ma
tions, our home manufacturers can set thei
own prices.

roReign Alliance Against Btexicc.
We think there is no fctionin the above
heading: England, France and Spain. are
meditating the re-conquest Of Mexico, and
its partition among the three Powers. A
marriage between the Queen Of Spain and
cousin of Victoria is contemplated, while
one of Louis Phillippe's SONS is to be mar
ried to the Spanish Queens sister, thus
causing a relationship among the three
Powers. Santa Anna Is at the head Of all
this, that is, the cats paw for the Powers
alluded to, as is indicated by his dispatch-
es which are said to be Of immense size, by
every mail. Mexico is to Be re-conquered,
and Louis Phillippe's son with the Span
ish Queens sister is to be put upon the
throne Of Mexico, to which Cuba is to be
attached, while England is to take the Cal
ifornias for her part; or perhaps Cuba is
to be gwen to France direct. England hav-
ing the CALIFORNIA;, and the young French
man with Spanish wife Is to rule over
Mexico. All this movement is to thwar'
the United States; and yet we are lying
idle amidst all the danger. There car
hardly be doubt but this is contemplated
by the three Powers, but whether they
will have the audacity to move remains te
be seen. II such move should be made
Mexico will flee to us for protection, viii
offer to be annexed to our Government
when we shall accept the offer, and take
the responsibilities of the war. If Repub
licanism has got to fight for this Continent
let us make up our minds to fight in gcot

a .Neso RELIGIOUS Seet.----A new reli-
gious sect. called the "Gladdenites, has
sprung up in New York, with but two
prominent points of faith. One is set
tied opposition to ordinary ecclesiastical
forms-the other, is the necessity of say
ing just what they think Of persons or
acts. To carry out the first, they never
meet clergyman without gazing dogged-
ly at him, and men, women, and children,
apostrophising him with -".priestcrait! -
priestcraft!' Until he is out oftheir sight
as an instance of their frankne<s. When
they meet any one in the street, instead O
the usual salutations, they gaze on him
and if pleased with his looks, say, "Givt
your heart to the Lord!' iif, on the con.
trary, they like him not, they say, "Ths
devils in vel" which, being often the fact
is said to Be their most common address

Muhammcdanism.

A new sect has sprung up in Persia, at
whose head is q merchant just returned
from pilgrimage to Mecca. Mecca is the
city whittier all the more jealous Of the
Mohamedan sect go to do penance. To
make such pilgrimage, is considered the
discharge OF most worthy and sacred reli-
gious duty. This merchant arrogates to
himself the honors Of being the successor
Of the holy prophet who founded the Mo-
hamedan religion. What is instructive to
the philosopher in this movement is, that
this new sect is prosecuted as brutality as
was Mohamed on his first start to establish
the present religion ofthe Moslems. These
prosecutors first burn off the beard of the
proselytes to the new faith. This ofcourse
is great disgrace, as the beard is adhered
to by the Mohamedans, with as much per-
tinacity as do the Jews to theirs. Mt con-
tent with this, they next black their faces,
and bore holes through the gristle of their
noses, and, inserting cord, they lead them
through the streets, continually making SC
violent yanks upon these cords, as to cause
constant screaches to be uttered by the
prosecuted. No doubt the old standards
Of the Moslem faith say their faith srighf
but every thing contrary to theirs is ,c'ong
and thus Justify the persecution. Sucl
has been the excuse for every persecution
that has ever arisen. And what is strang
er inthe history Of the progress Of religion
is, that as soon as ono sect has risen above
the storm of persecution, it forgets its lat
Affections, and declares war upon some new
sect that may be coming up next in order
and alledges the same excuse that had bee'
the reason for their late persecution by som
sect which had risen before it.

Host Dissraccful II True.

Previous to Mr.. Calhoun's return to the
Senate, and before it was known in the
United States that lie would return to that
body. the English papers which were in
the confidence Of the British government,
announced The fact, that Calhoun would
return to the Senate, and told precisely
what his course would be, as has been de-
veloped since his return 10 that body. 1t
l. now reported, and strongly believed by
the friends Of Oregon, that Mr.. C. and
Lard Pakenham came to an understanding,
that if England would desist from any fur
ther opposition to Texas annexation, she
should have the Oregon diuided. This ru-
nor, and these beliefs, are fully supported
by The conduct Of the delegation from South
cxrohna, so far as actions can supply the
place Of words. It may be that Mr.. C's
strempus efforts to cause that Territ ory "a
be disided, are based upon Pledge Of his tc
Lord ?. that such should be his course o.
conduct. There is surely something re.
,aarleble in his coming back tn the Senate
and yet more SO, in the whole delegation
as if6y concert, uniting on one point, name
lyss to yield our soil to Britain. If Mr.. C
is base enough to make the glory and homo
oflour country yield to sectional interests
he eught to be damned to eternal infamy
Daniel Webster has done more to damn hi
party, BY uniting in opposition to every ma
Gsnal measure which has arisen, than an,
hundred Of that party besides. 1t may b
that the English bride which has sn,doubt
aily reached him, has also found its wa,
to Calhoun. Our country ought to wor
ship no man; but when her sons, whateve
may have been their previous course, fla
in Supporting her honor and rights, sh
ought to cast them from her with contempt
If Mr.. Webster and Mr.. Calhoun still pei
sist intheir mad course, let their gray hair.
and 5ribed consciences go down to the grave
