Withdrawing protection from the products of free

mentioned, and the result of some experiments in
its growth appear to give encouragement of future
success in the matter.
Agricultural associations are forming in different
parts of the island, the plan of Joint stock com

That when the strong armed gale the valley fills,
Lifting the stately ceders from on high,
Doth with giant heart it's rage defy;
Graspeth, with vigorous root, the kindred SOIL
And with the tempest battles nightly
That still unbowed amid the wild turmoil,
Stands, when the angry storm hath spent its

All crowned with sunbcams meath the brighten

And high above the swollen torrents path
Still towers erect in unscathed majesty

reason why the Senate should adjourn over, by re-
