RES or the Secondary question:" but holding to
the "right of search" they will overcome every
obstacle in their power to take possession of
"disputed territory" not regarding the barriers
which limit them to land not flowing with milk
and honey.
Some have an idea that the more stock the
more manure, bnt dissent from that train of
reasoning. If manure is the object desired, a
very little reflection will convince any one that
if the same quantity of food which six cows re-
quire, is divided among nine, his pile of manure
will not be augmented by the number of his cat
tie.
The above enumerated evils are not the only
ones which spring from close feeding. am con-
fident that the crop of grass diminishes from
year to year, somewhat in proportion to the ex-
ira crop we keep in our pastures, owing to the
diminished vigor of the more hardy grass, roots
and the total destruction of the less hardy and
more valuable kinds of grass.

Shall the People be Cheated!

The great issue presented during the late
Presidential canvass was that of Slavery-res-
friction. General Taylor could not have
been elected if his Northern friends had
not succeeded, by dint of bold assertions
sophistical constructions, and private let
tiers, in producing the general impression
that the veto power would never be used by
him to prevent the passage of bill enact.
ing the Wilmot Proyiso The testimony
of the great majority of the People at the
ballot-box, was testimony in favor of the
Wilnof prouian--.rs-This. sgas a measure
which they well understood, about which
there could be no mistake, the only safe and
efectual safeguard they knew that could be
interposed against the extension of slavery
In support of this they recorded their iudg-
ment and will so clearly, emphaticalIy, and
repeatedly, that no representative from the
free States, unless he has made up his mind
to disown allegiance to them and expects
nothing from them, dares openly and d.
rectly to oppose it.
But, it is quite possible to oppose meas
ure covcrtly, indirectly, under the show of
devotion to its principle. The majority of
the members of Congress, at this session, if
compelled to vote yea or nay, without cov-
er or concealment, on direct proposition to
exclude slavery from our Territories, will
not dare to vote nay. But, precisely this
compulsion is what the majority will seek
most anxiously to avoid. Would to God
that the people could know the caucussings
and contrivances of the men whom they
have chosen to represent their will, and IN
whom they are reposing full confdencel

assooiations by the care of the kind and

her up.

What need of all this fuss and strife,
Each warning with his brother?
Whv should we, in the crowd of life,
Keep trampling down each other3
Is there no goal that can be won,
Without squeeze 10 gain it T.?
No other way of getting on,
But scramblIng to obtain it?
oh, fellow-men, hear Wisdom, then,
In friendly warning call
0Your claims divide, the world is wide
There's room enough for ALL"
What if the swarthy peasant find
No field for honest labor:
He need not idly stop behind,
To thrust aside his neighbor.
There is land with sunny skies,
Which gold for toll is given,
Where every brawny hand that tries
Its strength, can grasp living.
Oh, fellow~men, remember then,
Whatever chance befall,
The world is wide-where those abide,
There's room enough for all.
From poisoned air ye breathe in courts,
And typhus,tainted alleys, y,
Go forth and dwell where health resorts,
In fertile hills and valleys;
acre every arm that clears Dough
Finds plenty in attendance.
,Op, leave your loathesome cities, now,
7 And toll for independence.
Oh, hasten, then, from fevered den,
Aud lodging crampod and mall;
orld is wide-in land beside,
There's room enough for all.
In this fair region far away,
Will labor find employment
A fair days work, a fair days pay,
And toll will earn enjoyment.
What need, then, of this daily strife,
Where each wars with his brother?
Why need we, through the crowd of life
Keep trampling down each other?
From rags and crime, that distant cline
Will free the pauper's thrall;
Take fortunes tide-the world so wide
Has room enough for all.

1t was sheltered, little nook; valley
closed in by hills, until it was formed into a
kind Of emerald basin, with the waters of
small stream flashing and purlng its way
through its midst; this was the valley in
summer; but now, alas that it ever should
be so, 1t was winter! And the very features
that made this spot SO beautiful amid sun
shine and green foliage and bursting buds,
but added TO its desolateness at this season.
The bare limbs of the trees creaked mourn
fully in the blast, as though bewailing their
departed glory; the grass was all gone; the
little stream had grown sullen, and wended
its way moodily through the wet bottom
A small, white cottage was the only thing
that gave reliefto the scene; it was surround
ed by rail-fence-what is called "worm
fence" in the West; a garden spot was or
one side, and on the other an orchard o
some extent.
