A MAN OF BUsINEss.-At the Greene County,
New York, Agricultural Fair, an address was
made by Col. Zadoc Pratt, from which we take
the following passage:
And now | will show you the advantage those
dreary hemlocks have been to the farmers of our
mountain towns. Since | first engaged in farming
it has been my lot to employ over fifteen thousand
years of other mems labor; army OF thirty thou
sand men have | employed, and have paid those
men, for their labor alone, over two million five
hundred thousand dollars. | have cleared over
ten thousand acres of land, used over two hundred
thousand cords of hemlock bark, and paid over
half a million of dollars for it, Used and worn out
| five hundred horses, and one thousand yoke OF
oxen Used two hundred thousand bushels OF
oats, one hundred and twenty thousand tons OF
hay; thirty thousand barrels of beef and pork and
nearly one hundred thousand barrels of flour,
and potatoes without number or measure. have
tanned one million two hundred and fifty sides Of
leather; my usual disbursement is over FIVE thous-
and dollars per day, and l have used in my bust
ness over ten millions. Every laborer received
his money, yea every man his penny in peace,
and to the credit of this community be it said, that
/ | never had side of leather stolen, and never
was chosen defendant in law account of my
business transactions, during my residence among
you. The great object of my living is to be use
full. Live with your neghbor, and not on him.
Allow me gentlemen and ladies, to conclude by
congratulating you upon the rich blessings o
health, power and prosperity, which surround.
you; and may succeeding generations do as much
AS you have done towards national wealth and in
dustry which are the safeguards of our indepen
Idence.

lx= Francis Adams, the son of John Quincy
Adams, and the late abolition candidate for Presi
dent says:
''What earthly temptation have the anti-sayery
men of the free states to favor dissolution of the
Union? They belong to the states in which sla-
very does not exist; to the states which are in
creasing in wealth and in numbers at such rate
that they must in the end make the national senti-
ment of the country. They labor to accelerate
what may be retarded by human resistance, but
what can never be ultimately prevented-I mean
the overthrow of the slaveholding influence in the
national government"
Again:
| know of but one course open to free soil men
-undeterred by denuncation, or calumnes, OF
persecution their duty perseverance, unto the end
Next to perseverance comes patience to watch and
to take advantage of every event.
Unquestionably we are a political minority-but
we have as party the advantage of distinctive
principle and this is not the case with the greater
parties. Time hast thrown into the shade the small
questions upon which they originally divided and
now there is really but topic of public interest
SLAVERY anti SLAVERY, under the guise of support
or opposition to the compromise and the fugitive
slave law On this point those greater parties
must declare themselves If they both take one
side, there will be little left to contend about and
they must inevitably become IN degree fused in
to one. If, on the other hand, they take opposite
Sides then all true freesoil men will know where to
direct their efforts to produce favorable results
And here is the closing paragraph of this let
ter:
With regard to Details do not venture to ex-
press any opinion neither am very solicitous. My
interest IN public affairs always has been, and is
now confined to single purpose, the redemption OF
one great principle of the revolution, HUMAN LIB
ERTY. To forward this at the present time. 1 now
venture to recapitulate my opinions, that the first
duty is, PERSEVERANCE in maintaining undi-
minished, opposition to all national measures
dictated by the slave power. The second, PA
THENCE in the labor of preparing. confirming
and extending the only political organization that
can be depended upon for our purposes. The third
and last is ACTION as soon as, but not before,
the movements of the other parties to the next
presidential election make the way clear to US, to
WELD what power we may have, with the best hopes
to advance the cause,

pos, of Secretary TO the Embassy Al the Hague IN
accordance with the usage then prevalent OF reward
ing a talent for correct alcalcs or biting epigram>
with important diplomatic appointments. However.
his fortune was but transient, since he fell with his
patron Montague As poet. M. Thackeray praised
PrOr highly, calling HIM the most charming OF En-
ghSh Twists, and comparing HIM with Horace on one
side and Moore on the other. AZ the same time he
referred 10 certain statement that PnOI, after he
had spent the evening With the hr> men OF the day
