THStfy, WILL vote Tor Cass, because he
draughted the law under which Aaron
Burr was tried for treason to his country.
Secondly, Because THOMAS JET.
FERSON, that great democratic apostle,
upwards Of forty years ago, had conf
dence sufficient in Lewis Cass 10 make
him marshal Of the then territory Of Ohio.
Thirdly, Because LEWIS CASS, in the
last war with our implacable enemy,
Great Britain, was the first man 10 enter
Canada; and had his wise counsels been
adopted, the British provinces might now
form an integral part Of our glorious
confederation
Fourthly, Because LEWIS CASS has
proved himself an able national negotia
tor, inasmuch as he completed twenty -one
treaties with the Indians, none Of which
has ever been disputed by that wild, wan
dering, and indomitable race. .3
Filthy, Because that great and good
patriot Andrew Jackson, Initiating his H.
lustrious prototype, called LEWIS CASS
to his councils, by making him Secretary
Of War. s.
Sirthly, Because LEWIS CAsS, when
our minister TO France, ,circumvented and
annihilated the wiles and schemes Of our
inveterate foe when the qulntuple alli-
ance was formed under the influence of
Great Britain, which would have left our
shipping at the mercy Of English crus-
ers, and would have deprived US Of our
rights to the highways Of nations.
Scrcnthly, Because LEWIS CASS, in
the celebrated discussion on the Ore on
question, boldly, fearlessly, and honestly
advocated our right Of territory up to
50 40, Notwithstanding the intimidation
Of the emissaries Of England.
Eighthly, Because LEWIS CASS is the
candidate Of that party which has always
been the consistent advocate Of human
rights. Of freedom Of opinion, and Of lib
erty Of conscience.
p Ninthly, Because that party has guar
antied to adopted citizens the same rights
protection, and privileges which it has
and does TO citizcrs of native birth; and
because it scattered to the four winds Of
heaven the odious alien, gagging and Sc
dition laws.
1enthly, Because, as LEWIS CASS
will be TRlU MPHANTLY ELECTED.
he will not submit to the foreign dic'ation
Of Great Britain, but will, if that naughty
and overbearing power dare insult our
country, take ample vengeance upon her
for all the wrongs she has inflicted upon
The human race in every quarter Of the
globe, and will ANONYMOUSLY expel her
from the shores Of this continent; thus
affording an opportunity to the brave but
Irish nation to recover it long
lost nationality. lrfT

WHEAT.

As this is the chief money crop of very
large majority of agricullursts, too much
pains cannot we'll be paid in putting i. in
and, therefore, all possible care should be
given to the preparation Of the soil. 1t is
vain to expect large yield of wheat, unless
the ground possesses those elements which
enter into the composition of the plant. In
all reliable analyses which have been made
Of the wheat plant-ils kernel, as we'll as
s,raw-large portions of potash, in various
forms, have been found; therefore, ashes or
potash are essential to its growth in every
soil where it may be cultivated. So, also,

previously exist in the soil, it should be ap-
Piled, with the view of disengsging the pot
ash, so generally met with in clsys. Bone

horror as manure for wheat by some, as
we think without cause Mari, which, in
dependent of its calcareous matter, compri-
appreciabIe quantity of polash and phospho-
ric acid, will be found to be a very congenaI
manure, and may be relied upon whenever
its application is practicable. Wheat sown
upon Clouer-leys, or in corn fields, may not
require any extra manuring, because, in the
first description Of soils, all the elements es-
sen.ial to the growth and perfection of the
wheat-plant and its berry, already abound,
so also is it the case with corn lands which
have been MANFRED from the stables and

BONAPARTE'S OPINION OF CHRIST.

The following conversation is said, we
know not with wha, authenticity, TO have
been related by General Mon,helon. Mon
thelon is we'll known as the faithful adher-
ent of Napoleon in his fall and his amanu-
ensis at ST. Helena, in giving the world
history of the life and times of the great
warrior. These sentiments are worthy of
the greatest mere man towards the greatest
of all beings, who, though immortal once,
put on MORALLY, and became visible in the
fashion of men, Trade Reg.
IL know men," said Napoleon, 'and tell
you that Jesus is not man! The religion
of Christ is a mystery which subsists by its
own force; and proceeds from mind which
is not human mind. We find in it mark
ed individuality, which originated train of
words and actions unknown before. Jesus
borrowed nothing from OUT knowledge. He
exhibited in himself, perfect example of
his precepls. Jesus is not philosopher,
for his proofs are miracles; and from the
first, his disc Piles adored him. In fact, learn
ing and philosophy are of no use for saliva
ton; and Jesus came into the world to re-
veal the mysteries of Heaven and the laws
of the Spirit.
"Alexander, Caesar, Charlemagne, and my
sell, founded empires; but, on what foun-
da.ion did we rest The creations Of our
genius? Upon force. Jesus Christ alone
founded his empire upon loue: and to this
hour, millions of men would die for him.

TO A BEAUTIFUL CHILD,

TO BEAUTIFUL CHILD,
WHO CAME INTO THE MELoDEoN, SUNDAY BEFORE
LAST, DURING PRAYER.
o sweet little wanderer, whence contest thou,
With thy fairylike form and thy clear sunny brow!
Art thou one of the thousands of mortal birth,
Or art thou an angel descended to earth?
For an angels soul, and heavenly grace
Beam out in the smile of thy gentle face
And the light that plays in thy sparkling eye,
Seem caught from the glory beyond the sky
And the look that thou wearest, of calm delight,
Tells the heart is pure and the spirit bright
The spirit Of innocence guarding thy breast,
From the touch of sin and the gloomy unrest
Beautiful stranger! so young and so fair
Thou art welcome here to the house of prayer!
Fit emblem art thou of that life divine,
Which is taught US here at Religions shrine.
Now calmly while, with ear intent,
Thou dost list to the teachings eloquent,
Of him who pleadeth the cause of right.
In behalf of nation whose star is bright
But its rising is dimmed by the clouds that lie
Around its path in the shadowy sky!
But anon thou art weary, for what dost thou know
Of the troubles of mortals, their shame or woe!
Five blooming summers can scarce have shed
Their genial serenity DER thy head =
They have filled thee with joy and with rosy health;
Iney were summers TO the OF unmeaSured wealth.
Thy heart has perchance meier beat to sorrow,
Thou hast ever before thee golden morrow.
Now the voice of thy drowsy ear is hushed;
And thy cheek with mider glow is flushed;
More gently thy pulses come and go,
Soft is thy breathing, deep and low
Thou hast set thy sail on a stormless sea,
And the portals of dream-land ope to thee!
Not summer bird in his downy nest,
Hath aealmer sleep or sweeter rest
Not dreaming bird on a summer night,
Not morning lark in his airy flight,
Is half SO holy or fair sight.
Sleep on! sleep on there's time in store,
When the dreams of thy childhood will come no
When the sterner impulses of manhood's joy,
Will usurp the delights of the gentle boy
And then thou must wake from thine early dream,
And bend thy thought to nobIer theme;
twill be thine to toll in the battle of life,
Thou must bear thy part in the mortal strife
0 then-may'st thou ever wear, now,
A heart unstaned and spotess brow!
May the flower expand in thine after years
Fulfilling the promise that now appears,
In the bud that swells in thy life to-day
May it blossom and bloom in thy heart Away.

4" Agriculture, 3,7l9,95l
Thus it will be seen that those who are
engaged in agriculture are three and half
times more in number than all those engaged
in the other divisions. The agriculuraists
consequently have the physical and numeri-
cal power, and can at any time control every
government in the United States and give
tone to public opinion. Blu. do they: No
indeed for however powerful they may
be in number, they are weak in influence,
and this arises for want of proper education
The sixty-ive thousand two hundred and
ffly-fve engaged i'll the learned professions
are intellectually stronger than the three
millions seven hundred and nineteen thou
sand nine hundred and ifty-one engaged in
agriculture, and therefore rule them. If it
were not so, seven-eighls Of the officers in
the country would not be held by lawyers
and doctors; nor would all the colleges and
high schools be endowed principally Tor the
benefit of the learned professions.
Farmers, when will you arouse yourselves
to the dignity and importance of your call
ing, and educate yourselves to that height
of intellect which will make you the rulers
instead of the ruled, of the other profess
sions? There is surely nothing to prevent
this if you will only be true to yourselves
Look at the millions annually thrown away
upon the horrid barbarilies of war, or the
preparations for it, and the honors are award
ed to those engaged in shedding brothers.

and downright contemplate sums which are
grudgingly doled out for your benefit
Every occupation in the country seems to
be boun,ifully provided for, save that OF the
farmer, and surely no one is to blame, for
this but yourselves, for you need only to
speak to your servants, your rulers, and a
reform might be had at once. Ponderthese
things well, then, and in the Legislatures
assembled this winter, speak out and de-
