upon consultation with The Democracy in ,dil,

IMPRISONMENT OF SWINE.

! Can any one estimate what a saving OF
expense it would be, if every man would
shut up his hogsi There is no doubt that
/ it costs double the amount TO fence against
/ hogs that it does to fence against other
stock. But would it not be cheaper to fence
even cattle aud all other stock, into their

i Mr.. BATES, in the November number OF
that excellent journal, the Prairie Farmer,
upon this subject, says:-
+" IN tho August number of the Prairie
Farmer ! find communication from r..
Fere uson ia favor Of the passage of law
rest aiming the freedom of swine. IcOncur
emit ely with him 10 the opinion that such
lav would be OF great benefit, and next To
a law to prohibit all stock from running at
large, would be the greatest aid that could
be given by Legislature to the cultivation
of our prairies. One-lhird the fence now
necessary would then he requisite for en-
closing the farm, and as matter of course
more Improvements would be made, more
lands made valuable, and consequently more
property on which 10 assess taxes; aud at
the same time that the people were protect
ed, the treasury of the State might feel the
benefit, aud the hog himself, without doubt,
would be better protected than he now is
know Of no objection that can be urged
against the plan proposed by Mr.. Ferguson;
but do know there are those who, blinded
by prejudice, and wrapt in ignorance, would
oppose any plan that was TO be of general
benefit, unless some direct pecuniary con-
sldoratlon was 10 accrue to them. Although
| have no doubt il would he To the interest
of all, with or without a law, TO confine their
swine, there are those who consider all a
hog may find or steal as so much clear gain.
In some counties such might be majority,
aud Il were pity that other counties,
where the idea Of universal freedom was not
quite so large, should not he bIest with the
confinement of the hog portion of the com
muniry. Give us the law, and soon its beue-
fits must follow"

INDEPENDENCE OF THE PRESS


There is a species Of intolerance which is
utterly hostile to all latitude of thought and
expression OF all countries OF the face of
the globe, ours ought to be most free of in
tolerance-for ms our Government is itself
but an organization of popular sentiment
and popular will--the formation and ex-
preston Of that sentiment and " i'll, ought
TO be free. Why should we hate and utter
ly condemn our neghbor who believes in
the Catholic creedi or who believes that Mr..
Polk ought to be President or who believes
that the county of Grant ought to be diyi-
dedl Have we right to conclude that we
are nfallblei Should we despise the opin-
ions and the julgments~on all subjects, OF
those who differ on any subject from us!--
Stand up, now, neighLor, and tell us how
you would conduct a press. Would you
nut your pen under seniinell Would you
look cautiously about you before you ventnr-
cd TO express what you believed to be true,
to enquire whether every body else would
believe iti-whelher that opinion would he
combattedl Must an editor beat around in
the same eternal circle of axioms for fear of
expressing novel opinionS Reader, would
you have an editor study to learn and TO ex-
press the truth, or would you have him stu
dy To learn and express only what you and
all his readers admit 10 he TRUTH For our
own part, we do not take up a book or n
newspaper TO learn from it what we before
knew or believed, but 10 learn what we did
not know, and possibly to believe what we
did not before believe. No infidel is certain
that he may not die Christian; no Loco
foco is certain that he may not be n Wing
and no man can possibly approximate truth
whose MUD is notprogressve. Encourage
the dissection of arguments and critical
analysis of everything that claims to be
truth. We would as soon be feeder of
travelling caravan, as the publisher OF a pa
per that seeks only to pander To all the pre-
JUDGES of its readers. A print of this de- /.
scription has just rs much to do in forming
and guiding public sentiment, as fly that
lights upon a ships rudder has to do with
steering the vessel.

% The ascension made by DIR. Morrill,,
on Monday last, in balloon, was in every
respect successful, and after traversing the
air at a great height for distance of eigh-
teen miles, he descended about four miles be-
You'd the village of Jamaica and landed IN
safety. While at his greatest height he
found that the current of wind was sweep
ing out to sea, aud he determined to decend
at once, but having fallen short distance he
encountered new current which carried him
toward Jamaica Plains. No accident mar
red the pleasure of the trip, and as the day
was very fine, the view obtained was magnl-
ficent. In brief account Ofthe trip which
he has written, he thus speaks of one of the
novelties which the aerial voyager realizes ::
The sound of the various noises heard by
the aeronont. while within hearing distance
of the earth is most interesting. The ordI-
nary laws of acoustics here, of course re-
main the same; but the sound, instead of be-
ing vibrating and bounding as on the surface
of the earth, seems to he one in the air, as
though it came sail in a heap if may be
allowed homely expression. As | passed
along, the last three or four miles of my
Journey, these sounds were very striking;
/ the noises Of children at their play, the
braying of animals, the cacklings of fowls,
the distant laundering of thecars and carria-
ges together with the ordinary hum of life,
failed not to entrance my attenton.-Netc-

Remarkable Attempt TO Escape by n

On Tuesday, rs the steamship Columbus
was coming up the Delaware river, and when
a short distance above Newcastle, Del, on
removing the matches 10 get the goods in the
hold IN readiness for delivery, black man
was discovered, slowed away among the
boxes and bales. He proved TO he IA slave
named Moses, the property of Miss Mary
Brown, a wealthy lady of Charleston. The
ship immediately put back to Newcastle,
whore the fugitive was lodged in prison.
The regular sailing day of the Columbus
was Thursday last, but she was delayed at
Charleston until Saturday, and her passage
was prolonged beyond the usual time by a
heavy sea. just before her hour of sailing
on Thursday, u box marked +" T.. Mishaw,
Philadelphia" was brought aboard and the
freight paid on il. IL was put below, near
the hatchway. The runaway slave, incred-
ihle as it may seem, had been tightly con.
fined in this box, the dimensions of which
were two feet four inches in width, aud
three feet five inches in length. He had a
loaf of bread and jug of water in the box
with him, which would have been sufficient

galed himself upon these Injuries. He next
