Ro,E RErunlIc Whatever the future may
have in store, it is something to live in the days
of the reconstructed Roman Republic, with Ven
ice also Independent and liberal, Sicily almost
enjoying the freedom she has 50 nobly struggled
for, and strong tendency to demo cratic liberty
prevailing throughout the entire Peninsula
These bright portents may swiftly pass away and
be superseded by anotherd reary night OF des-
potism, but they are not the less welcome while
they exist. 1t may be vouchsafed to none of us
to see the day when all Italy, including her Is
lands shall constitute one confederate like our
own, with Rome for its capital, and Venice,
Piedmont, Tuscany, Naples Sardinia and Sicily,
Sardinia &c. for lis States, internally one SOW
oreign, externally all united, forming constella-
ton hardly less powerful and glorious than our
own. Italy enlbodies one of the fairest and most
fertile portions OF the globe, with genial and
generally heathful climate, hafthe wealth Of the
world in the treasures of art and the trophies of
genius, an admirable position and some twenty
five millions of people. With national unity,
republican Institutions, general system ofcom-
mon schools, a free press and exemption from
foreign intrigue or domination, Italy might again
be not only the garden of the world, but one OF
the most powerful and respected among the ma
tions of earth. Who does not desire. such rem
ovation IN Y. Tribune.

ENGLAND.-Lord John Russell had again
brought forward a Government proposition for

Mr.. Bancroft, the United States Minister, states
to whatever extent in liberality the British Par

mittcd to discharge all or part of her cargo in
the Mersey, take III Manchester goods or coal
and passengers, and carry them to Glasgow or

fresh cargo from the final port of her discharge.

patched an engineer to California with the OBJ
lect of surveying the discoveries.

Parliament since tha SESSION commenced. The
necessity for the continuance the suspension
OF the Habeas Corpus act has been admitted by
overwhelming snajoriies, and even the ultra l.
IRISH members have made but a feeble resistance
to It's passing the Commons. The bill will pass
the House of Lords it'll little or no opposition,
The additional grant Of 100000, 900 for the re-
lief of the Irish poor has also been sanctioned,
but has given rise to variety of debates, all
hinsing upon the question of .what is to be
done with ireland y Whilst, however. the
slow process of legislation is aiming at giving
partial relief to the starving people, the state of
the country in many districts continues deplora-
Bile indeed, apparently worse than at any for
rner period. The prisons and work houses are
filled to repletion-rerorts of death from starya-
gton are to be found recorded in all the local
. papers. The clearance of the peasantry and
emigration are as active as ever The stocks of
provisions are plundered in all quarters Catho-
lie chapes are being closed, and the destitution
OF the Roman Catholic Clergy is very great
indeed apathy and misery seem universal in
that unhappy country the condition Of which is
~ itheut rarallelin the history of the world.

Some of the wings are quite noisy because
the democrats of Ohio assisted in electing Solo,
mon P. Chase, a free soier. to the u. s. Senate.
We should have preferred the Hon. William AL
len, ourself, for whom the democrats voted seve-
raj ballots, if his election could by any honora-
bic means have been secured; but that being
out of the question, who would stop for mo-
ment to choose between free soildemocrat and
a free soil whig; for every one knows that
Northern whigery and free soilism is one and
the same? We cannot for our life see propriety,
consistency, or sense in those Southern wings
who raise such cry when Northern democrat
happens to vote tora free soiler, whilst there is
not sinner in the whole whig camp who
doesn't kpowevery well that the whole North,
as far as whigery is concerned, is emphatically
free soil, and that there is not poll opened in
the free States at which whigery does not cast
free soil votes daily and hourly We always
thought there was disposition on the part OF
some ofthe wings to aaonopohse when they could
promote party ends or their own personal inter-
esls by it; but we hardly supposed they would
claim for their Northern friends and allies the
erclusire right to vote the free soil ticket Truly
'these are strange times We live Ky. Yeomos.

PHILOSOPHY OF FARMING.

Here is the secret of good farming
You canno. take from the land more than
you restore to it, in some shape or other
without running it and destroying your
capital. Different soils may require diff
ferent modes Of treatment and cropping,
bu, in every variety of soil these are the
golden rules to attend 10: Drain until you
find that the water that falls from heaven
does not stagnate in the soil, but runs
through it and off ii freely. Turn up and
till the land until your foot sinks into a
loose. powdery, loan, that the sun and air
readily pass through. Let no weed occu,
DIV the place where useful plant could
possibly grow. Collect every particle OF
manure that you can, whether liquid or
solid. Let nothing on the farm go to
waste. Put in your crops in that course
which experience has shown 10 lead to
success in their growth, and an improve
ment and not impoverishment of the land
Give every room to spread its roots IN the
soil and its leaves in the air.

AFFECTION.

Affection, when coupled with honor and
wisdom, seems ever to grow vigorous, and
to entail upon its votaries, hours of peace
and glorious reflection. Ii issues quietly
forth, from among group of lellow-beings,
as the modest inferior of Fame walks
within the busy marts of stranger land.
The roads and by-ways OF life are frequent
lv spread with embIems of its nature,
which impart loneliness and JOY TO the hu-
man soul; iIlumining heavy hearts with
hope and comfort, and discharging from
our being, fears that have for long time,
perhaps, seemed fixed within Us, because
Of our wickedness and sin. The starry
heavens, so beautiful 10 behold, have often
led the ladened wanderer to haven OF
safety and bliss, where affection and friend
ship calmly dwell. What, too, besIo"s
upon woman a profusion of sacred lnno-
cent, and lasting benefits, or seems 10 cor
rect the mighty evils which the lack OF
companion, the want Of tender heart. or
the absence of virtuous mind, inevitably
create. but affection. Without it, life
wouId be tainted with merciless acts, and
the vast field wherein so many now reap
harvest of pleasure and delight. would
be barren ofjoys or objects pure.

AG CUL TUR AL

w
We presume our country friends will!
be pleased with having a portion of the
Journal occupied with Agricultural matter.
We shall therefore hereafter endeavor TO
devote some attention to that important
subject
AGRICULTURAL AND HORTICULTURAL So.
c1ETY.-A writer, who signs himself
Press" in late number of the North
Carolina Farmer, proposes that an Agri-
cultural and Horticultural Society be form
ed in the Metropolitan county, (Wake.)
He says that Sc the ball of agricultural i'm
provement in North Carolina mast no10
be put in notion" We fully agree with
the writer, in the importance of such So
ciety, and take much leasure in making
the following extract from his article on
the subject. He thinks Wake, being a
central position, that is the proper place
s. to make start"
We can no longer put off this duty
which we owe 10 ourselves and country,
without contracting objectionable guilt
In the language of a correspondent of the
Southern CultIvatOr, our northern breth-
rem have great advantages over us: among
many others, they have Agricultural and
Horticultural Societies, which class and
name the different fruits, arrange them all
with order, placing each variety according
to its rank and value, throwing aside the
worthless and setting up the truly valua-
bic for propagation, etc., etc. We have
nothing Of the kind-every man must
fight for himself; the consequence is, we
are in a complete chaos. We have only
one peach, believe, that has name, the
Indian Peach; and one apple, the Horse
Apple. And depend upon it, name is
as useful to a fruit as ii is to a man. 1t
will not make its way in the world with
out a good one. And the name Of fruit,
with its good or bad qualities affixed to it,
should be as we'll submitted to the laws
and regulations Of an Agricultural Society
or submitted TO laws and regulations of an
Horticultural Society, as mans to the laws
of common society.
