49, That this convention disapprove of the late
congressional legislation, by some called the COM
promise, and declare their strong and unequivocal
condemnation of the three following acts, namely:
the admission of California State: the division
of the State of Texas; and the law usurping to
congress the power to abolish slavery in the Dis
trct of Columbia under the fraudulent pretence of
regulating the slave trade therein. These are re-
garded by us as an evidence of the determination
of the north to trampe upon the political rights of
the southern States, to destroy their equality in the
Union, and place the government for ali time to
come under the control of fanatic and sectional
majority
IA That we can find no adequate excuse to JUS
tify the majority in congress for forcing these meas
ures upon us, and we are wanting in language to
express our condemnation of the southern Senator
or Representative, who voted for the admission of
California, the division of Texas, and the antisa
alphabetically approve the course of the Represen-
tatives who opposed their adoption and we now
confidently appeal to the people of the State of

By HENRY STEPHENS, f. r. s., Of Edinburgh, au
thor of the Book Of the Farm &C., &C.; assisted
Ivy JOHN F. 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 | 400
pages, with Is or 20 splendid steel engravings,
and more than 600 engravings 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 poughng planting,
haying, harvesting, &C., &C., the various domes-
TIC animals in their highest perfectioD; in short,
the pictorial feature of the book is UNIQUE, and
will render it Of incalculable value to the student
of agriculture.
The work is being published in semi-monthy
numbers Of Cd pages each, exclusive Of the Steel
engravngs, and is sold at 25 cents each, or rs for
the entire work in numbers, Of which there will be

Although these works are distinguished by the
