A CASTOR On EpIDnMIc. On late
trip of one ef our New Orleans steam
crS, she was crowded with German emf
grants. As might be expected, their
appetite for fruit and vegetables: after a
long sea voyage, was most voraciou5.
At Selma, a short distance below the
city, the boat received some 20 or 30
sacks o! castor beans consigned to Mr..
Blow. TheSppearance Of the bean,
good to the eye exciting the cravings
of the emigrants. Finally, curiosity and
appetite triumphed; bag was surrepti-
tiously opened, large pan full extract
ed, and a huge luncheon Of soup pre-.
pared. In short time the passcn gers
in the cabin and the officers of the boat
were startled by the report that the
cholera, in its worst form, had bro';en
out on deck. On going below, they
found that the castor oil was doing its
work. The bag lay exposed and a large
pot full Of this rare delicacy steaming
hot on the table. The thing was soon
solved, and the. captain had to 90 into
quarantine, because, as he said, the
Dutch didn't know beans.

D. The National Intclligcncer makes
the following remark in reference to the
result of the election:
Gas no change could be for the better.
we have too much reason to dread the
effects Of The change which Is to come.
The avowed principles Of The Young
America" party and its wsId progressive
ism are in their nature the reverse of
the conservatism which should guide ey-
cry just and honorable government.
But though we may be willing to be-
lirye Gen. Pierce much less imbu,d
with the reckless aims proclaimed Ivy
some OF his leading advocates, and have
been glad to see him yesterday Defend
ed in prominent organ from the very
natural lmputaton OF sharing in the
aggressive and lawIess policy advanced
by his most active orators, yet the lead
ers Of the party now to be in the asccn-
dant are propagandists in The broadrst
sense, and to the most dangerous length.
The territory Of the United States, vast
as it is in extent, is yet too contracted
for the expansion Of their QuiXotic phi
lanthrophy. The selection of a Presi-
dent by such party has something fear
fully omlnous OF future troubles

THE RESULT OF THE ELECTION. The figures
given in another place serve TO shew that the
wings were terribly worsted in the election of
Tuesday. Ii is not certain that Scott has car
red more than Vermont and Massachusetts.
S'pcculations as TO the causes which produced
this result, woull be lruitless perhaps, and we
shall not now go into any, whatever we may
hereafter do. 1t is more onc-siled than any
election, since prior 10 the days of Jackson, and
the lUcoloco party are sure OF 'undisputed sway
for several years to fonie, the next House Of
Representatives and the Senate being theirs By
large majorties. 1t remaus for us to hope that
they may conduct the government with a view
to the substantial welfare Of the people. The
Fillmore Administration has been highly salts
factory to the country-evcu the bitterest oppo-
nenrS Of the wing party have been able to find
but little fault with it, md when the voice If
censure has been raised ii has ever been ,ri-
umphanlly silcnccd.
We now, as ever, ofthe opinion that Gen.
Scott should have been elected. We believe
his services and his abilities entitled him TO the
Office, IA her than Mir. Pierce; hut the people
having decreed otherwise, il becomes our duty
II bow with submission aud 10 give couftcnance
AMI supper; TO the Plesi lent elect, when he shall
/ come into power, in al! his efforts to naiu,ain
| the integrity and advance the interests Of the
grea, nation over whom ne has been called to
| preside.

bic extent. The wild berries are now
selling in Boston for from ten to eight
cen cents n quart, and the demand hard
" supplied even at these prices. Mr..
Hovey, in his Magazine, states that the
liberal premiums offered for the common
blackberry by the Massachusetts Hor-
ticutural Society, have had the good eff
feet of producing very general COMPETE
ton; and so superior have been some of
the spcclmens-so much larger than
when first exhibited, evidently showing
what care and attention will do for this

has deemed it advisable to offer n high
prize for "a seeding, with the hope of
sllll further improvement: for, although
what few attempts have been made in
this way have not been attended with
very favorable results, there is still reason
to believe that it will yield to the ameli-
Grating influences of cultivation, as well
as the strawberry, the gooseberry, or the

FREE TRADE.

The following article from IHo So
chen', neutral paper published al New
Y ort city, gives fair and impartial state
ment of the practical workings of Free
Trade, as it would connect itself with
our natonaI policy ia the present posi-
ton of the country. Coming from
source acknowledged ability, based on
sound judgement, clearly and felictous-
" expressed, it must have degree of
weight with all, which would not be ac-
corded to similar sentiments uttered in
the heat Of prejudice from partzan or
gan. Read taitentively:-
Free Trade is the fair equalization and
adjustment Of commercial values. No
nation or community can enjoy free trade
where it does not possess and equal pow
er in controlling and regulating these
values, as the nation or community with
which it trades. ii the advantages Of
cheaper labor, cheaper capital, and a
more strict and perfect economy enable
one community to produce articles nee
essary to the wants Of another commune
ty, and this last in its turn, cannot pro-
duce commercial values equally ia de
mand with IT'S ncghbor, nor, yet the same
articles itself needs, AT any thing like the
same price, then i, IS dependent and
trade instead Of being free on It's part, is
more or less SO, at tie option OF It's rival.
This proposition is self evident; and the
question arises, What must be done TO
relieve the community of such "A burden
and TO enable it to have an equal voice
in the adjustment OF commercial yauesP'
The answer seems patent: g 1t must re-
cur TO the great and immutable principle
Of self protection" which belongs TO ma
tons as well as 10 individuals, and which
the former NAV not abandon, any more
than the latter, without subjectng them
selves to wrong and oppression. Now
the question OF free trade rests, IN our
estimation, exactly upon these premises.
In its practical bearing as regards our
own country, it may be briefly stated
thus. Great Britain aspTes 10 the auto
cracy in trade and commerce all over
Tie world ; or ul lcast 10 tllS supreme
control, as between herself and her
great commercial rival the United States:
in the accumulation of gigantic capital,
the degradation of labor, and Tie conse'
qucnt depreciation of its wages; and IN
the perfection of her machinery she has
important advantages over as 10 manu-
lactures the nature Of her institutions,
the limited extent of her territory at
home and the density of her population
render this branch of productive wealth
the most profitable aud desirable for her,
Now. if Great Britain should say in good
faith to the United States - Nature
has given you the facilities of producing
the raw material for our mills and food
for our operatives, cheaper than we can
do il for ourselves and 10 us are the
means of manufacturing cheaper than
YOU come, let us trade together, to our
mutual benefit, without restriction ana
if il were possible to carry out such "a
convention impartially, we might nave
an approximation to free trade pure ana
simple but the obstacles which present
themselves TO such an arrangement arc

insurmountabe. First in the different
nature of our Institutions: the British
civil list has to be supported, and the en-
ormous expenses of the British govern
ment have to be paid, which must neces-
sarIly be a tax upon the productive
wealth of the country, and enter into
the price of the articles for which we
pay, and as we have no control over the
British tax list, we should necessarily be
in a great measure at the mercy of the
British Parliament. In the next place,
the natural avarce Of nations which, as
in individuals, never fail to avail them
selves of the advantages of trade for
profit is opposed TO any such arrange
mcnt. This needs no demonstration.
Now that Great Britain is as yet de-
pendent upon us in great degree for
the products of our agriculture is as true
as that we are more so upon her for the
products of her looms. To leave the
regulation of trade to this mutual depen-
dence is neither wise nor safe; and that
Great Britain thinks so is evidenced by
the fact that however she may talk of
free trade, she never hus, and never
will adopt it, pure and simple {; and by
the still more significant fact that she
has been for years seeking every means
to emancipate herself from this depend
ence witness her efforts to cultivate
cotton in India, and the present excite
ment in regard TO the possibility of sub
stituting fax for cotton. Her states
men are too wise not TO understand that
the true independence of a nation con-
sists in It's power to produce within it
self all its wants, and thus TO retain the
control of its foreign trade. Now sup
pose that the plains of India, where she
reigns supreme, and whose population
are virtually British slaves, could furnish
her with cotton, and that Canada, Ire
land, aud even Russia could supply her
with breads,uhs cheaper, or even as
cheap as we do, would she be magnan-
nous enough still to take these articles
of us at fair price, and give us in ex-
change her fabrics, which she knows we
must have, on the same liberal terms as
before Such supposltlon involves
the most absurd ignorance, the grossest
error. Yet the natural consequences OF
our abandonment; of the right of self
protection as a nation would be 10 place
our trade and commerce thus at the
mercy of our rival. II is idle to say that
such things can never lake place; we
have no right to risk our commercial
prosperity upon a contingency which
Great Britain has for years been endea'-
oring TO bring about, thereby showing
how sacred is her regard Tor Tree irade'
pure and simple.
On the other hand, five should cher
ish home industry, encourage our own
manufactures, and learn, when 1t be-
came necessary, to live within ourselves
II is clearly evident that we should re-
tain the power 10 regulate our own
trade, and be able io'yppose the SELFISH
ness, or ward off the aggresslons whlch
avarlce or rivalry might prompt Just as
the individual who is ever ready ana
able TO defend his own rights, hnds them
re,pected by those around him.

WASHINGTON, january 26, 1852.


Messrs LITTLE & BRowN: | think you have laid
the profession under great obligations in the re-
publication of the "English Reports in Law and
Equity" in this country.
The low price at which the volumes bre offered
will enable the bar generally in this way TO fur
nish their libraries with the current English Re
ports, OF which many of them have heretofore been
deprived. They will thus have ready access to
the decisions Of courts sitting at the fountain
head of the law, whence have been derived, for the
most part, the several syserns, lcss modi-
fed daily administered by the courts Of this coun-
try. And, however modified these systens may
be, il is manifest that these decisions must sbed
great light upon the investigation Of most of the
cases arising here.
Your plan, also, will furnish the profession in
this country with the cases IMMEpIATELy AFTER
PUBLICATION ENGLAND, CONDENSATION
OF THE FIRST IMPoRTAScg; for, if the Reports Of
cases decided are of any value, the sooner they
arc in the hands OF the profession the better. ]
sincerely hope your encouragement from the bar
will he commensurate with the merit Of the enter
prise.
