The cultivation of the earth is congenial

portion ormen, during some period Of their
lives, either do, or have 4 desire to become
farmers. Besides those who in civilized
countries, are bred to the culture Of the
soil, and make it their sole pursuit through
life, there are thousands of others who re-

From the \, Y. Evening Post,
FRENCH PARTIES, &c.

The parties in France are con-
fined to three classes
list. The IEGITIMIsTs or conservatives
proper, who adhere to the old monarchlcal
order, and embrace two sorts of legitmIsts,
or Henry 9th and Charles 10th faction, and
the pseudo-c0itimists, or the Louis Phil
Ippe faction. In the present state of opin-
ION in France, these dare scarcely to show
their heads, vet they are secretly at work to
produce 4 reaction against the revolution.
The meeting of the 10th, or the suspicious
in regard to ii, was their work.
2nd. The DEMOCRATIC party, which IS
the direct opposite of the conservative party,
and embraces two kinds-the moderate or
constitutional democrats, who incline to the
adoption of the United States const tutor az
a model, with two chambers and presI-
dent, and the extreme radicals proper, who
desire only a single legislative body, repre-
scnlug the people directly, without Sen
ate or Executive chosen by the people.
Sd. The Socialists, who agree with
neither Of the above parties, who are not
satisfied with merely political reforms, and
who are also divided into two sects-the
Communists, whose watchword is Equality
and who are consequently opposed to all
distinctions Of rank or property, and the
Fourierists. who believe in what they term
heriarchlcal organization" maintain the
rights Of individual property, and profess
themselves to be the friends Of peace and
order.
There are various shades and differences
in these parties, but such are their charac-
terlstic pecullarltIes as nearly as We can
learn.
As to the prominent men OF the revolu-
ton, their position III respect TO these par
ties is this:
The Iegitimists have as vet no open and
ayowcd representative or leader.
Odllon Barrot and Theirs occupy a kind
of middle ground between the conservative
and the progressive parties.
I.edru RoiIln Is the leader Of the extreme
radical or democratic party. in which he IS
sustained by Blanqui, popular man, with
the French loco iocos.
Louis Blanc Is a socialist, but has never
acted With either the Communists or the
Fourierisls-the latter having opposed most
Of his schemes for the organization OF labor
on the ground lhat he adopts an eqoal Ie-
partition Of wages, though they approve OF
his general object. Tie leader Of 'he Com
munists is CADET, who takes little interest
in politics, inasmuch as he proposes to en-
irrate to this country. The leader Of the
Fourlerisls is Victor Considerant, who has
thus far put Lamartine forward as his best
exponent.
But what is the position taken by La
MARITIME himself that i the great question:.
al the progressive parties claim him, AMI
he seems 10 inspire universal confidence,
Southport telegraph. [volume] (Southport, W.T. [i.e. Kenosha, Wis.]) 1840-1850, 1848-06-02

These facts explain his relations TO the par
ties.
He belongs TO neither exclusively he
has, TO some extent, adopted principles from
all A legitimiSt by birth aud education,
he Is democrat from conviction and study,
while his most intimate personal friends are
the Fourierite socialists. He has never
made a precise and specific declaration Of
his views. 1t is known that he rejects a
monarchy; he has opposed the modern po-
litcal economy or Lai>Serfuirc system
yet he does not concur with Louis Blanc
in all his experiments, while his Fourier
tie friends, though they sustain his admin
istration, are somewhat impatient of his
sownesS. What his real position is, there
fore, the future alone can dcvclope. No
one doubts either his integrity or his &c
MUS.
In the hope that these distinctions may
explain great many current mlsunderStand-
lngs, submit them I'LL we are further IN
formed. FRANCO.

LAND REFORM.
FREE SOIL SONG.
TIRE Two REvoL UTIoSs.

Expressions crushing form drew nigh,
Her gloomy form obscured tie Sky,
And lightning wrath flashed tIom her eve,
As Wars dread thunder shook the Land.
Then from amid the meteor shroud
OF tempest. fire and battle cloud
Fair Freedom called her sons aloud
And Washington led on the van.
Our fathers TO his standard pressed
And pledged till death, they barred the breast;
Renouncing vain, inglorous rest,
They swept the threatening storm away.
The British yoke and Gallo cnain
Was urged upon their necIs in vain:
They boldly dared the death lraught train,
For freedom and America.
But soon worse, more crafty foe.
With srIl approaches dealt It's woe;
la mlider skies struck surer blow,
And bllgbIed all prosperity.
In vain then labor FILED lis might
And Science, Art. dfu>ed their light
FAR Freedom iet the invading blight,
And uttered loud her warning cry
At length aroused her cause to plead
Reiorners came with word amt deed,
And pledged Tor Liberty, they freed
Mankind from Rent aud Usury.
And now thai worse than tyrant chain
shall ne cr disgrace our necfs again;
While we the noble cause maintain
The Race ana Soil shall both be free

HONOR BRIGHT-A FACT

Uncle Ezekiel had pair of fat oxen to
sell, and one day he said:
. mean to drive my oxen down to Brigh-
ton myself, and sell them"
You'd better not, said 81. said he
you'd better send me, father for YOU know
can make a sharp bargain but they'll
make YOU believe the moon is made OF green
cheese down there
No, no, Sah," says Uncle Zeke, SAYS
he, :" know what I'm about, and don't
want garden yet" says he.
Well, one morning Uncle Zeke started,
bright and airly, with his fat oxen, and off
he went. He didn't get home till next day
but one, and as soon as we see him coming
up the hill, we all begun to ask him ques-
tons about his trade but Uncle Iekc did
Mt answer till he cot ready, and when he
got ready, says he
Il sold um for sixty dollars" SAYS he,
Have you got the cash with You - says
ST.
mo, Sah," SAYS Uncle Zeke, a havn't.
"Who did you sell EN- 10 - says Uncle
Ethan.
81 don't know the mans name," says
Uncle Ieke.
"Why can't you take out the note and
read it = says he.
81 hatn't got no note" says Uncle Zckc
What security then have YOU got -
says ST. says he, and his eye began to look
pretty big.
The security I've got IS good security
enough for me" says Uncle Ezekiel, says
IL 4 !, 4
from to-day, at the -Four Corners and pay
me sixty dollars in silver"
Where does the man live ," says I'M
Gle Ethan.
81 don't know" says Uncle Ezekiel.
We all began to laugh but 81, and he did
ut LOOK by any means as pleasant as new
cider. At last, SAYS he
"WeIl, father" says he, not very slow,
I" this beats all you ever done before" SAYS
he, "you've gin away your fat oxen to a
man you don't know, and you hant got
nothing 10 show for it,
Wait till fortnight from to- dav;" SAYS
Uncle Ezekiel " the man looked like an hon
est man. lie said he would meet me at the
-Four Corners and pay the money, and be-
lieve he'll DO it, says he.
81 didn't say another word, but he turned
on his heels and went straight off to the
barn, looking as though he didn't want to
play.
Poor Uncle Ezekiel was laughed ut all O.
yer the hill for his trade, and every time
one Of the Ks. met him. they called out
We'll, Uncle Ezekiel, have YOU got your
sixty dollars vet ?"
Just YOU watt" SAYS Uncle Xekc, SAYS
he.
Well, when the time come around. Tn
Gle Iekc went down to the Four Corners
for his money. We kept a pretty good look
out and when he came back we wentdown
a piece to meet him. ST says TO him with
a scornlul kind OF laugh, says he
Wv ell, father, your honestman met you
at the -Four Corners, and paid you the six
" dollars in silver, suppose"
Yes, he did, Siah," saysUnclo Zehel,
and with that he pulls a bag of dollars ont
Of one side Of his saddle bags, and then pulls
another bag of dollars out of the other side.
Yes. he did, Siah,'' says Uncle Zeke
again--" here's the money. He looked like
an honest man. and he was an honest man
but Id rather be cheated little now and
then, than to be always suspectng every
fellow creature, as you are, SIah. =. \ an
