BILE sentiments from Mr.. Benton, a man who is

A Roman citizen could not be scourged, and | be-

men were Roman citizens. Roman citizens We're
employed, both by and by land, in the army
and in The navy, and there was no scourgng; that
was reserved for slaves, for barbarians, for those
below the dignity of Roman. Ii may be said that
some persons bad enough to be whipped, but
question if whipping will effect a reform. ! also
question if it is worth while to make the officers of

The DerH's Fruk-PotatocS were
first introduced at Moscow 10y Mr..
Rowland, 60 years ago, At first, the
people would neither plant them nor
touch them, saying they were the
devils fruit, given to him on his COM
planning to God that he had no fruit
when he was told to search in the
earth for some, which he did, and
found potatoes. 4 curious Berwick
shire legend, which. however, is pal
pably anachronlcal, attributes the in
PRODUCTION of patatocS into Scotland
to that famous wizard of the north.
Sir Michael Scott. The wizard and
the devil being in partnership, took
lease Of a farm on the Mertoun cs-
tates, called Whitehouso. The wiz
ard was to manage the farm; the de-
vii advanced the capital. The pro-
ducc was to be divided as follows
The first year, Sir Michael was to
have all that grew above the ground
and his partner 10 have all that grew
below; the second year, their shares
were to be just the opposite way
His Satanic Majesty, as is usual in
such cases, was fairly overrcached
in his bargain; for the wizard cum
ningly sowed all the land the first
year with wheat, and planted it with
potatoes the second so that the de-
vii got nothing for his share but
wheat stubble and potatoc tops; and
this sconrging rotation Sir Michael
continued, until he not only bcggar-
ed his potatoes, but exhausted the
sod. In spite ofthis legend, howev-
cr, we must continue to give credit
to Sir Walter Raleigh for having
been the introduccr Of potatoes into
this country. The first that tried
them, we are told, fell into the very
natural mistake of eating the apples
and disresarding the roots, Shields

tune, there is every reason TO be-
licve that our shipholders, as well at
Quebec as on the Great Lakes, would
find an unlimited market in all the
ports of the American continent. 1t
cannot be doubted that the shipping
trade Of the UnitedStates must great
~ increase. 1t is equally manifest
that, with them, the principal mate
rial in the construction of ships is
rapidly diminishing, while we pos
sess vast territories, covered with
timber of excellent quality, which
would be equally available as it now
is, since under the Free Trade sys-
tenn our vessels would sell as well in
England after Annexation as before.
The simple and economical State
Government, in which direct res
possibility to the people is dis;in-
gushing feature, would be subStitu-
ted for a system at once cumbrouS
and expensive.
In place OF war and the alarms of
war with neighbor, there would be
peace and amity between this coun-
try and the United States. Disa-
grecment between the United States
and her chief if not only rival a.
mong nations, would not make the
soil Of Canada the sanguinary arena
for their disputes, as under our cX-
isting relations must necessarily be
the case. That such is the uncnyi-
able condition Of our state of depen-
dcnce upon Great Britain is known
to the whole world, and how far it
may conduce to keep prudent capt.
talIstS from making investments in
the country, or wealthy settlers from
selecting a fore doomed battle field
for the home of themselves and their
children, it needs no reason on our
part to elucidate.
But other advantages than those
