The friend to whom we are indebted for the &C.
count of the meeting says: "The agitation upon
this infamous law is still upon the increase, The
law is every day growing more odous in the eyes
Of the people. If Congress had suddenly been
converted to anti-slavery, and each member turned
lecturer, the people in thisregion Of country could
not receive anti-slavery truth with more avidity
than they do now

The Memphis Eagle notices two pregnant facts
Mr.. Jones OF that vicinity died, freeing his slaves
So his brother selected place for them in Iii,
nois the negroes were unwilling to go ; they
were at Memphis, their passage paid, and the boat
ready to leave " at this juncture, the negroes
gathered around Mr.. Jones and pleaded long and
earnestly for permission to remain )" finally he
consented, warning them that, ifthey went, they
were free, if they stad they were slaves ; they
protested that this was exactly what they desired
he no sooner consented "than the reioced dark
les broke out Into cheers, turned their teams
homewards and trooped out OF Memphis as Jolly
a crowd az ever was seen )" they had "gtand re-
ocing on their arrival at their home, and are now
at work as busy and cheerful as bees" We have
always believed that there is no laborng class in
the world as happy, contented and comfortable as
the negroes Of the South.
The other fact cited by the Eagle exempliSes the
doube-distilled hypocrisy of the Aboihionists.

THE BRITISH PERIODICALS AND THE
FARMERS GUIDE.

+ EONARD SCOTT & Co., No. 81 Gold street,
j Ntc York, continue to publish the four lead
Ing British Quarterly Reviews and Backwood's
Magazine; IN addition to which they have recent
ly commenced the publication of valuable Asrl-
cultural work, called the
" FARMERs GUIDE TO SCIENTIFIC AND PRAcTIcAL
AGRICULTURE
BY HENRY STEPHENS, +. r. S., OF Edinburgh, au-
thor of the "Book Of the Farm" &C., &C.; assisted
by JOHN p. NoRToN, M "A, New Haven Professor
of Scientific Agriculture in Yale College, &c, &c.
This highly valuable work will comprise two
large royal octave volumes, containing over I 400
pages, with Is or 20 splendid steel engravngs,
and more than 6O0 engrayIngs on wood, in the
highest style Of the art, illustrating almost every
implement of husbandry now in use by the best
farmers, the best methods Of ploughng, planting,
haying, harvesting, &c, &C., the various domes-
tic ANNALS in their highest perfection; in short,
The pictorial feature OF the book is unique, and
will render it Of incalcuable value to the student
Of agriculture.
The work is being published in semi-monthly
numbers Of "a pages each, exclusive Of the Steel
engrayings, and is sold 25 cents each, or S. for
the entire work in numbers, or which there will be
at least twenty-five.
The British Periodicals re-published are as fol-
lows, viz:
The LONDON QUARTERLY REVIEW CONSERVATIVE,
The EDINBURGH REVIEW (WhIg),
The NORTH BRITISH REVIEW Gree church,,
HE WESTMINSTER REVIEW (Llberal.)
AND
BLAcEwooD's EDINBURGH MAGAZINE (Tory).
Although these works are distinguished by the
political shades above Indicated, yet but Il small
portion of their contents devoted to political sub.
jects. 1t is their literary character which gives
them their chief value, and in that they STAND con-
fessedly far above all other journals oftheir class
Black,cood, still under the mastery guidance of
Christopher North, maintains its ancient celebrity
and is, at this time, unusually attractive, from the
serial works Of Buwer and other literary noables,
written for that magazine, and first appearing in
its columns both in Great Britain and in The United
States. Such works as ''Ihe Caxtons" and "My
New Novel" (botl by Buwer,) "My Peninsuar
Medal, ""The Green Hand" and other serials.
of which numerous rival editions are issued by the
leading publishers in this country, have to be ref
printed by those publishers from the pages o.
Backwood, after it has been issued by Wesss. Scot
4 Co., so that subscribers to the reprint of that
Magazine may always rely on having the earliest
reading of these fascinating tales.
