TAYLOR LoATHEs PRESCRIPTION ,,

L LUX LOA1fES PROSCRlPI1ON.''
During the late Presidential campaign, Mr.. Crit
tenden of Kentucky, who was mainly instrumental in
electing Gen. Taylor and who is well known to be
his confidential friend, uttered the following in
Speech at Pittsburg, Pennsylvania:
"Gen. Taylor is good and true Whig but he will
prescribe for difference of opinion. He
hates Oates prescription. He loves the free, inde-
pendent utterance of opinion. He has commanded
Wings and Democrats the field of battle; has wit
messed their patriotic devotion and invincble
age while standing together, shoulder to shoulder
has them fight, bleed and die together, and God
forbid he should prescribe any account of diff
erent Of political sentiments. He ,uouH as soon think
said the speaker, Of running from a Merican!'
This was copied into the Raleigh Register, and
other Whig prints in this State, and hundreds of
Democrats no doubt voted for Taylor on the strength
of it.
That was the profession before the election-now
for the practice after it. We quote follows from
the last Newbern Republican:
"MoRE CRUMBs-M. Dickinson, Esq, we learn,
has been removed from the Post Office in Greenville,
and Whig appointed in his place. Even small
Office this could not escape the merciless axe
of the "headsman." Yet Mr.. Polk retained T. J..
Blakely Wing, Post Master at kinston, of
flee of about the same value probably. Mr.. Polk
and the Democratic party have been denounced for
prescription; but the present administration don't
prescribe; oh no! nothing OF the kind.
PosT OFFICE AT TRENTON. VIM. H. Bryan has
received the appointment of Postmaster at Trenton
in the place of Benz. Askew, remoUed. Mr.. Bryan
has refused to accept the Office. 1t is said to be
worth the enormous sum of $35 per year. Verify
the Administration is making clean sweep, when
such small crumb as this engages their attention.
Mr.. StanIy, who is generally believed be the dis
penser of Governmental patronage in this district,
thought that $35 would animate some of his friends
a little, and so Mr.. Askew is turned out. Who
wants Office here's chance"
Messrs. Dickerson and Askew turned out be-
cause they are Democrats, and the special request
of Messrs. Donnell and Stanly. U@Let the Demo
erals Of the Eighth District remember all this at the
polls, TO mOrrotu tceek. a

LErrER FROM GEN. cAss.

Gen. Cass has written letter to Mr. Ritchie of
the Washington Union, for the purpose of correcting
certain misrepresentation in regard 10 his opinions
on the Tariff, Internal improvements by the Gener-
al Government, and the Wilmot Provise, recently
put forth by the New York Courier and Enquirer
He goes into these questions at some length, and re-
terates, in the most emphatic manner his opposition
to the Wilmot Provso as unjust, ungenerous on the
part OF the free States, and unconstitutional -
1t is an admirable letter. worthy in every sense of the
patriotism and ability of its distinguished author
Gen. Cass says the Proviso is not only unconsti-
tutional, but it is 'peculiary offensive to one-half
of the States of the Unon who see in it an attempt
to crcumscrbe their rights and to mortiy their pride
OF character and the clear inference from this let
ter is, that he 1uiH vOte for it. He concludes
as follows
"These are my sentiments. They will give of
fence to many, and will expose me to much obloquy
But do not hesitate thus openly to avow them for
every public man who is not prepared to take de-
cded part agreeably to his CONVICTIONS in times like
these is not prepared to discharge of the first du-
ties which belongs to his position. "To insure
domestic tranquility in the words of the Constiu-
ion' was one of the great motives Of the people of
the United States in the organization of the present
government. Measures which may endanger that
tranquility should be scrutinzed with great caution
and never adopted but in the last necessity, and then
with great reluctance.''
What will his Southern revilers say now2 Will
they take back their charge made against him during
the late campaign that he is Abolitionist? Will
they even do him the justice publish his letter
We shall see.
We shall lay this document, as soon as we can
make room for it, before readers.

cred as forcedsupon him in such way,
that there was no avoiding it but by disa-
vowing what he had really said and
thought of Barron; and of this | need not
say. he was incapable. He did not approve
of duelling.
He then passed to his own case. Fight
ing, he said, was his profession, and it
would be impossible for him TO keep his
station and preserve his responsibility
without showing himself ready, at all
times, TO answer the call of any one who
bore the name OF gentleman.
After my return from Baltimore, heard
nothing more of il till he was brought home
mortally wounded; and then l saw him no
more till he was a corpse. AS l stood near
him, alone, and looked at his dear face,
marked, as it still was, with the last traces
of his departed spirit, could not help say
ing: What is life, and what all the glory
that this world can giye?' The soloquy
is not a very novel one; indeed, [ have
made it, in common with others, thou
sand times before; but never felt its force
till then, for never, till then, had seen the
corpse of such a man. They both fell at
the shot, which was SO simultaneous that
the report of two pistols could not be heard
by those who stood out of sight, though
close within ear-shot. This heard from
Commodore Porter, who was standing
thus with Rogers. He exclaimed, ifhiine,
diately: One of them is killed, for there is
only one shot.
Very different was the scene when he
got to ,he ground. Decatur was apparently
shot dead; he revived after while, and he
and Barron held p riley as they lay on
the ground. Doctor Washington, who got
up just then, says that it reminded him of
the closing scene of a tragedy-Hamlet
and Laertes. Then Barron proposed that
they should make friends before they met
in heaven, for he supposed they would die
immediately Decator said that he had
never been his enemy, that he freely for
gave him his death, though he could not
forgive those who had stimulated him 10
seek his life, One report says that Barron
exclaimed, wv Would to God you had said
this much yesterday! 1t is certain that
the parley was friendly one, and that
they parted in peace. Decatur knew he
was TO die, and his only sorrow was that
he had not died in the service of his coun-
try. 1t is believed that Barron will re-
cover, though this is far from certain

Ashes aud Lime.

w. H. Ross of Sussex county, Dell
has made some careful experiments as TO
the comparative value of ashes and lime
on long worked land, as well as the most
profitable amount to be applied: The re-
suits are, that from so to 100 bushels OF
ashes produce better than any other qnan-
tity, and bu, little difference between 80
and 100 bushels of lime. In 5 years,
chiefly by use of lime and ashes, his farm
has doubled it's products. His experience
is, that a mixture of 100 loads of mould
from the woods, so bushels of lime and
100 of ashes, invariably increased his corn
crop 20 bushels per acre, and wheat in the
same ratio, and he is sure that its effects
are perceivable for 90 years. The soil on
which these experiments were made was
chiefly sandy loan, or clay soil the lime
was found most beneficial.

AaRTGUHPUMAlho
Things TO be Remembered.

Horses should never be put to work on
a full stomach. More horses are hurt by
hard driving after feed, than by full
feed after driving.
If the farmer wished to have his pork
barrel and meat closet to hold out, let him
look well to his kitchen garden. Plenty
of vegetables conduces not more TO health
than TO profit.
In LAYING in stock Of winter fodder for
animals, let it not be forgotten that little
too much is just enough. Starving animals
at any time is miserable policy.
AS YOU treat your land so ii viii treat
YOU. Feed it with manure literally and
il will you bread bountlfully.
Avoid debt as you would the leprosy.
If you are tempted to purchase on credit,
put 1t off for three days. 1ou need time
for reflection.
Never beg fruit, or anything else you
can produce by the expenditure of little
1ime or labor. II as reasonable to expect
a man to give away the products of his
wheat field, as of his orchard or fruit gar
den.
If you keep your sheep and cattle in
your meadows until June, don't complain
because you are compelled to purchase
hay for your stock.
. The man who uses good seed, has a
good soil, and works it i'll good season,
rarely fails of having a good crop to re-
ward his toll.
Never forfeit your word. The saying
in truth, of any farmer, his word is as
good as his bond is worth more to him
than the interest of $4,000 annually
albany Cultivotor.

Prejudice.

Ifthere is anything belonging to human
nature that is able to resist the progress OF
time, it is prejudice. Although 1t Is not
natural to the human mind, yet by educa-
ton and habit, it becomes so incorporated
with our nature that some consider it in
nate. It's durability is often exhibited by
agriculturists; in the tenacity with which
they hold to old opinions, and ancient
practices. Many old farmers trea. with
contempt, all Improvements made by SCI
entifc research, although their practical
utility may be clearly proved by expert
ments; all discoveries made in the labara-
tory OF the chemist, they style book farm
ing, and not worth the trouble of giving
them fair trial. Prejudice makes some
farmers pursue the same routine of crops,
and the same manner Offarming, that their
fathers and grandfathers did; thus neglect
ing every improvement and scarcely ma
king a living on twice as many acres, as
would enrich one who properly understood
the economy of nature. Some consider
learning useless, or worse than useless to
practical farmer; but this class of farmers
is diminishing, as generations pass away.
believe the time will come, when sound
and practical agricultural education will be
thought indispensable to make good far
mer. There is scarcely a branch of sci
ence that will not benefit farmer, if he
makes proper use of it. He should be
acquainted with chemistry and understand
the power of the agents he uses in the la
bratory of nature; he should know some
thing of geology and mineralogy that ne
may know the components of his soil; he
should be a good physiologist, that he may
understand the laws of health, to provide
for his own comfort, and that of his ami
mails; in fine, ignorance is no benefit tt
any farner.-Cor. Backs county heteH
