HS" The progress of Free-soilism at the South
seems to be rapid, and is reaching to high seats in
the synagogue. The Mr.. johnson spoken of be-
low is a candidate to represent the Columbus
Ga. District in the Congress of the L. States,
and is put forward as the candidate of the Union
or Cobb party. There thousands entertaining
similar opinions in the South; we know men in this

and they take no pains to conceal their opinions

Mr.. John FrosWI-
Dear Sir " our note requesting me to furnish
you statement of Mr. Johnson's opinions, has
been received. 1t is with reluctance that l yield
to the requirements of a sense of duty in making
a public exposition of Mr. Johnson's fruo opia-
ions, inasmuch as the relations that have existed
between that gentleman and myself for the past
few years have been very friendly. And the mo-
tives that now influence me in the performance oi
this duty originate in no personal ill-will or NAL
ice towards him, but solely in the desire to pro
mote the ends Of tratth and juSttcc The follow
ing are the opinions which Mr.. johnson has re-
peatedly advocated in conversations with myself
1st. That Congress had absolute and unlimited
power Of legislation over the District of Columbia
the right to abolish siagery, or to do any thing
else it might deem proper; that there was no limi-
taton to its right of jurisdiction.
I'd. That Congress had supreme power over all
the Territories, Dock Yards, Navy Yards, Arse
mails and Forts; the power to prohibit slavery
therein or to dispose Of them 10 any Foreign Pow

Sd. That slavery was a political Mr.. John
son in repeated discussions with myself upon
lecture delivered by Mr.. Fisher, Of Cincinnati
Ohio, two years since held that slavery was a DO.
itical eyil-that the influences growing out of the
institution of slavery were the true cause of the
Southern States being deficient in those ele-
ments of wealth and prosperity which character
Iized the North.
4th That slavery was a social egil-Mr, John
son eighteen months since, disposed of his Law

to labor, and he desired to remove from its con

At recent meeting the London Lnnaeaan
Society, Mr.. Westwood called the attention of the
society to wingless bird on Lord Howe's Island
An island between New Holland and Norfolk
Island. This spot had been accidently visited
by Captain Poole, of the East India's Company's
service, who, considering it favorable spot for
colonization, had induced six Irishmen and their
wives and families to settle on it. The place is
now one of constant resort for the supply of water
and provisions to the South Sea whalers. 1t is of
considerable extent, and has on it two high hills
which can be seen at distance of sixteen leagues
at sea. On this island Captain Poole had discov-
cred the bird in question. 1t is about the size of
quail, and is considered by the settlers as good
eating. Mr.. Westwood thought the announcement
of the existence of this bird-which was not pre-
yionsly known to exist in those regions-would be
received with interest in connection with the dis
covery of the extinct wingless birds of New Rem
land. - t- 4. .- rr

A Few Hints.

Farmers should remember, that now is the time
to get out your stuff for fencing. and for preparing
it to put up as the spring shall open. 1t Is
bad policy to put it off from day to day. Do it now,
and if you have leisure time afterward, or when all
your winters work shall he done,-if that ever is
the case-why, we have no objection to frolic'
in legitimate way; taking good care. however,
that your wives and children should always partlc-
ipate in it.
GATEs.-There should be no bars about a farm.
Good, substantial gates should take their places
everywhere The American Farmer Justly remarks,
There is more time lost in taking down and put
ting up set of bars in year, than would pay for
two gates
Tool HoUsEs.-Your tool houses should be
well supplied with the necessary TOOLS which should
be kept in good repair. A workshop to farmer Is
of great value. Close buildings for all your farm
ing implements will save its cost in couple OF
years.-Ger. Tel.

57s "What constitutes a state?
Not high-raised battlements, or labored mound.
s.. Thick wall, or moated gate;
Not cities proud, with towers and turrets crowned
Not bays and broad-armed ports,
Where, laughing at the storm, rich navies ride;
Not starred and spangled courts,
Where low-bred baseness watts perfume to pride;
No: men, high-rninded men,
With powers as far above dull brutes endued
In froest, brake or dew,
AS beasts excel cold rocks or brambles rude;
Men who their duties know,
But know their rights, and knowing dare maintain,
Prevent the long-armed blow,
And crush the tyrant while they rend the chain:
These constitute q state. ttr
And sovereign law, that states collected will,
Ger thrones and globes elate, saa s
Sits Empress, growing good, repressing i'll.
Snit by her sacred frown,
The fend, Oppression, like vapor sinks,
And en- the all dazzling crown
Hides its faint rays, and at her bidding shrinks.
