RELIEVING OF CHoKED CATTLE.-If the
potato or apple is near the mouth, (ascer-
iained by feeling the neck) draw it out from
above by running the arm down and seizing
it with the fingers, preventing the animal
from biting by propping the mouth open with
a plow clevis, held firmly by two men. A
strong box. made on purpose, open at top
and bottom, with projecting pieces to hold it
by, is still better. The writer speaks from
experience having often thus drawn the
potato from cows throats.-But when low
down, it may be pushed iEto the stomach by
means of a tarred rope an inch in diameter,
with ball of tow at one end as large as a
hens egg, bound with soft leather. A
wooden rod of any kind is dangerous, and
usually ruptures the gullet and kills the cow.

Daniel wcbs,cr,s Ora,orv

The Baltimore Patriot, in abiding TO new
edition of the Speeches of Webster. thus
speaks of the great Statesman's Oratory:
There may be, and we suppose there are,
differences OF opinion as to Mr.. Webster's
claims TO pre-eminence merely as a politician,
but we believe there is no public question up
on which there is so much unanimIty. as thai
lie Is the greatest Of living orators. There is
certainly no speaker Of the English tongue
who is at all 20 be compared to him. If Burke
were now alive and in the full zenith OF his
powers, there might be some controversy
about III e rank 10 be assigned to him in COM
petition with Webster-but we know OF no
other man, dead or living, who has any pre-
teution 10 be his superior. Ii Burke had
more learning. richer and more varied
scholarship, ampler opportunities and the in
centive of higher rewards, Mr.. Webster has
ranged over wider fields of investigation and
gathered choice fruits, and his juster and Sc
verer taste has preserved him from muny of
the extravagances which disfgure the pages
oil the great British Orator. MIR. Webster is
unquesiionably superior in The correctness, us
well as in the aflluence Of his diction, and
treats his subjects with perspicuity, as well
as a completeness. TO which Burke is stran-

never wearies. either by needless repetition
or useless reorganization. There is a vast
deal in the best speeches, as well as the best
essays, of Burke that might be omitted with
out delracting either from the symmetry or
the vigor OF the performance. But, when
you attempt TO withdraw anything from one
of the intellectual structures Of the American,
you will not fail TO discover that, if you have
not impaired its strength,you have marred its
beauty and confused It's roportons-that,
/ like one who seeks TO remodel an ancient
temple. you have disigured the capital Of
some Corinthan column, or dwarfed The ele-
walton of some swelling dome. The superior
ity oil Mr.. WebSter's speeches over those OF
other men, is undoubtedly to be attributed
chiefly to the singularly original structure OF
his own genius. His speeches are unlike
those of any other orator. When you listen
to them, and perhaps more powerfully when
yen read them, you are sensible oil a certain
majestic march, grandeur Of progression, il
we may so speak, which you do nol feel when
hearing or reading the productions of others.
1t is not the pomp o.. Johnson-it is not the
measured step Of Gibbon. You are uncon-
scious that you are in the presence the most
consummate farlists, but at the same time
you do homage 10 the highest effect Of the
most consummate art.

Resisfance to Law.

The course of this Administration in sup
porting the Fugitive Slave Law, and even as
in the case at Boston, holding an armed force
in readiness to carry out this one Of the laws
Of the land, cannot be too highly praised by
every good citizen. Yet it has brought down
spon President Fillmore the abuse and angry
denunciation Of those uliraists known as abo-
litIonists, and of those papers squirting to-
ward free-soilism. 1t was 10 be expected
that the Executive in unfolding the Consti-
tuition and laws of the land, would meet with
the animadversions OF those narrow-minded
men who let their opposition to certain law
override their devotion 10 the Constitution
and their duty as good citizens.
These men by their acts. have taken the
ground that no Federal Law, TO which any
portion of the people are opposed, can be ex-
ecuted in any one of these States. This is
the position Of their most prominent leaders
This is what they have advocated IN oppo'
sing the execution oftbe Fugitive Slave Law.
This is what they are now uphoiding, in de-
nouncing the President for using the proper
means to execute the provisions of that law,
and in declaiming against it as they are do
ing, and urging citizens TO resistance. The
result of such doctrine is mobocrGcy in IFS
most hideous iorm-it is destruction 10 all
government, Il Reorganization OF all law, the
placing of the lives and property Of citizens
IN the Lands ofany band OF ruians who may
choose to resist The execution of Il law. \
band Of pick pockets has the same right &c
resist n law which interieres with the views
OF its members, as a b nd Of abolliionlst:
has TO oppose the execution of another law
which they may not like.
But the result Of the late Sims case il
Boston has proven that the Administration
will enforce the laws Of the land at every
hazard. 1t was not necessary for the Exec
utive to call out Government troops, but i
was necessary 10 keep them in readiness
These mobocrats knew what they had TO ex
pect, am dared not raise Il hand, where the,
| feared not 10 raise their voices. We hop,
they now see The folly Of resisting by bodll,
force the execution OF any law of the land
While President Fillmore is in the chair, the,
can never do SO with safety; and every goo
citizen, without respect to party, should up
hold the President in his position.

DISPATCHES.
BosToN. April IL.


During last night there was but little ex-
element. The watchmen and. police were
under drill till A. NJ, when they halted in
front of the east door of the Court House.
The fugitive. Sims, was then brought from
confinement and placed in the area, when
the whole body marched of down State street
to Long Wharf, and placed Sims on board
the brig Acorn, Capt. Coomes The brig
was then towed to sea by the steamer Hor-
net, bound to Savannah. Several officers
accompanied the Captain, and the whole az
fair passed off quietly. There were near
400 policemen IN the column, armed and
equipped. The military was not seen, bu,
were kept in readiness for any emergency
U. S. Marshal Owens, and the City Marsha
Turkey, were in the column, as also their
deputies. The spectators who followed the
procession to the brig did not exceed 1OO.-
There was no disturbance except some hiss
ing. Massachusetts is redeemed!

KEEPING CLEAN Tie following advice
is from the pen Of Mrs. Swisshelm, of the
Saturday Visitor, and was evidently written
in the sincere desire to keep her sex Clean
The advice is rather original TO US bachelors,
who of course never knew, as probably we
have no right to know, the "modus operan-
di +" in such matters. We do hope, however
the ladies will be beneftted by the advice:
"You only want basin Of water, towel,
a rag and five minutes time. When you get
up in the morning pin petticoat very loose
ly at the waist: draw your arms out of the
sleeves of your chemise, end let it drop to
your waist, take your rag well wetted and
slap your back ana shoulders. rub your arms
and chest, throw handslul of water around
your ears at back of the neck. Then throw
the towel across your back and saw it dry
rub fast, until you are quite dry, put on your
chemse sleeves, draw OH night gown TO
keep from chilling, while you tuck your skirts
up under one ann, until you wash and dry
one limb, drop that side and do the other
likewise, and be sure that the small of the
back and sides get their full share ofrubbing;
this DONE sit down, dip one foot in the basin,
rub and dry it, puton your stocking and shoe,
and then wash the other"

Gen. Lewis Cass passed up the Like to
his Detroit home some days ago, without re-

New THREE CENT CorN.-The Philadel

The die for the three cent piece, ordered
TO be coined by the las. Congress. has been
finished, and the coinage wonld be proceeded

the law, which makes no provision for procur-
ing the silver and copper 10 commence with.
In consequence, the coinage will be delayed
until the proper steps are taken by the au-
thorilies at Washington to remedy the de-
ficiency. The new coin is decidedly neat
and tasty. and will be in a measure conve-

In sowing oats before ploughing, and then
ploughng them in, would not puiverize the
soil sufficiently. A great deal depends on
the frequent stirring of the soil and its thor
ough pulverizaton. With due attention 10
this subject, less manure will be required.
and as this article is generally scarce. it is
best TO economist as TO its use, and render the
soil more fertile by frequently ploughing,
narrowing and cultivating.
Another objection 10 ploughing in oats is,
that the furrow for this purpose mnst be shall
low. else the grain would be buried too deep;
of course the ploughing would not be so deep
as would be necessary to produce a good
crop. A little extra labor in the preparation
for the crop would be more than repaid by the
superior yleld.-TM E. Farmer.

battle for Cairo-if he don't, he will not be "a

To Sllippers.

We shall be compelled, in respect to the
interests of Evansville, TO cease publishing
shipments if our merchants do not assist US IN
obtaining them. We have young man en-
ployed. a prominent and tedious portion oil
whose duties is. to collect receipts and ship
ments. But while he can obtain the prnc-
pal receipts from the whari-boat firms, he
cannot visit. as is now necessary. all the bus
mess firms in the city to obtain their ship
ments-and they can be procured in no other
manner unless our merchants send us their
shipments when made. The principal OBJ
ject in publishing these things, is to give peo-
pie abroad some idea ofthe business oil Evans
vile. After all our endeavors. they must
form poor idea of the shipments Of Evans
vile If they form it from the perusa! OF re-
ports, even though they cost much labor. We
wish also to establish a commercial charac-
ter for the Journal. Complaints are made
by merchants that we do not publish their
shipments, when it is nobody's fault but their
own. Now this is an important matter 10
themselves and especially to Evansville
Let Us then ask our business men TO send us
in daily and before the hour of o'clock, re-
ports ofany shipments they may have made
during the day, and the boats upon which
shipped. They can make UP their reports
from their bills of ladIng with very little
trouble, they will come TO US correct, and by
personal attention we will see they are giveI
to our readers in correct form. We ask thi
not only as private but as public favor
and make the request as much for the benefi
of the merchants themselves and OF Evans
vile, as for any personal interest we ma,
have in the matter.
