MR.. BUCHANAN.

We make the following extIacts from an address
recently delivered by the Hon. James Buchanan, in
reply to a portion of the Democracy Of Iowa, who
had presented him through Dr.. Leib, with hicko-
" cane." 1t will be seen that Mr.. Buehanah's pow
erul voice is still raised in behalf of the fagitive-
slave law, and the Constitutional rights Of he South
ern States: s. ... ... . .--.
With you, heartily rejoice in the belief that the
compromise measures Of the late Congress have n
nay settled the dangerous questions among the Sates
of our confederacy, arising out OF the Institution OF
domestic slavery. We must expect, however, after
the violent storm which has prevailed, that some time
will vet elapse before the surges of public opinion
shall entirely subside but long all will be peace,
provided the people of the non-saveholding States
shall faithfully execute the fugitive-save law, and
cease to interfere with the domestic institutions OK.

THE CASE OF THRASHER.

l"fa'ner' an American citizen, had been sentenced
oy the savage government of the Island of Cuba, a
ter scarcely the forms o: trial, to the Spanish mns
and that he had been sent off to UNDERGO the sentence
Recent information confirms this rumor. The Wash.
ington correspondent (lon) Of the Baltimore Sun,
thus speaks Of this high-handed outrage:
II have seen letters from Havana, by the Emni,e
City, from the friends Of MI. J. s. Thrasher. One
letter says that unless the Government should inter-
pose all energies, the unjust sentence upon Thrasher
will be executed.
The American residents were making up purse
for Thrasher in the hope that he might be released,
when suddenly, and secretly, the Governor chartered
vessel for the special purpose of sending Ihrasher
Spain; and he put board this vessel, which
was evidently dispatched in ballast.

KOSSUTH-ENGLAND.

The London News states that si1ty5iue towns in
England presented addresses of welcome to Kossuth,
while in that country.
Lord Palmerston has recently delivered speech,
which is considered highly favorable to tho Hunga-
rian cause. He speaks Of the sympathies of the
British government for kossuth and Hungary. and
considers it matter for congatusation that the gov
eminent had been backed in these sympathies by the
voice of the people of England He gives no encour-
agement to the idea that England will interpose by
arms in behalf Of Hungary; but he says the moral
power of the British government is immense, and
will be exerted the right side. He uses, howev-
er, this significant expression 1.-THE government

desirous Of upholding the nationality q foreign eou'-

THE AMERICAN ALMANAC.


We have received from the publishers, through
Mr.. Pomeroy, copy of "The American Almanac,

We have examined this work, and do not hesitate
pronounce it highly valuable to the politician
and the man of business 1t teens with statistics OF
the Federal government and Of the States in word,
it contains matter which is not to be found in any
other yearbook and which one may refer with
confidence for facts in relation to the population
sources, laws, public men, governments. &c., Of the
States and the Republic.
The chapter on North Carolina is not, however, as
full nor as accurate as it ought have been and we
alude to this in order that the publishers may take
the hnt if they choose, and improve in this respect
in their issue for 1853.
This work may be had at Mr.. Pomeroy's.

AGRICULTURAL SOCIETIES.

We are gratified at the movements going on IN
various parts of the State, looking to the formation
of Agricultural Societies and the consequent improve
men,s of the soils. Guilford has recently formed
Society ;of this sort-Edgecombe he's had one for
some time, and the people of Beaufort have just tax
en- the necessary steps for the same purpose.
A large meeting of farmers, professional men and
others. assembled Washington the 18th of last
month, b. Runyon, Esq. Chairman. and DR.. S. s.

ings of the meeting:

very manifest. new spirit of enquiry and inves-
tiga,ion has at least been produced amongs farm

Probably no larger agricultural meeting ever

that sacred word home appeal strongly to our citi'
zens to remain and avail themselves of these
natural benefits. They call upon our young men to
stop this tide of emigration, now constantly draining
our State of her vitality. Let this be done said the
spspkers let our citizens be content to remain the
soil of their birth, let them but have the will, and
the industry, and enterprise to make wise use and
improvement of those rich treasures which nature
every where offers 10 them. and in few years North
Carolina would be of the most prosperous. d

From he Ne,r EpgioH5 Farmer.
Corn for Fodder.


There IS no plant cultivated in this coun-
try that yields 50 large crop of excellen,
green and dry food for stock as Indian
corn. 1t also affords the advantages OF
rapid growth and easy culture. AS a sub
strtute for pasturing, il is one of the very
best, being almost equal to luxuriant grass,
and far superior to scanty heritage. which
is frequently all that cattle can obtain, in
time of drought, which often occurs late
in summer and early fall When corn is
grown Of u suitable size, and well cured, it
is equal to good hay for winter food.
In the older parts Of the country. parti-
cllarly among the milkmen around cities
and large towns, corn for fodder has been
considerably cultivated for several years;
and they knew the value Of it well. But
IN the interior farmers have paid less at
tentionto the subject, and in consequence,
IN time ofdrought, late in the season, they
often have to feed their cattle from the
barn to supply the deficiency of pasturage;
and in this way they reduce their winter
supply for fodder, which is already suai-
cienty small.
1t Is yet IN season to plant corn for late
green crops, or for dry fodder If theIand
be rather coarse and rough, harrow FIRE.
qucntly until the soil becomes fine tilth
manure well and mix the manure intimate
ly with the soil. Wood ashes is an excel
lent manure in part. Sow pretty thick in
rather broad drills about three feet apart,
and when the plants are sufficiently large
run the cultivator between the drills. and
give light dressing with hoe. No more
cultivation will be needed. as the plants
wall soon shade theland and keep down the
weeds. VIII farmers who have nevertried
