THE Fowl FEvER.-It would seem by
the following paragraphs, which we ex-
tract from the New England Cultivatcr,
that the .fosol fever has by no means a
bated:-
At the late Boston fowl exhibition, in
September three etCochin Chinas'' were
sold at 500! A pair of grey Chittagongs
at $50! Two Canton Chinese fowls at
$50! The grey Shanghe chicks at $75!
Three white Shanghaes at $64l Six
white ShanghRs chickens $40 to $45;
and these prices, for similar samples, could
now be obtained, again and again.
Within three months extra samples
sof two of the large Chinese varieties, have
been sold for 500 the pair Several
pairs, within our knowledge, have COM
manded $50 pair within the past six
month. Last week, we saw a trio of
white Shanghaes sold in Boston for SD
And the best specimens of Shanghes and
Cochin China fowls now bring 500 to
$25 pair, readily, to purchasers at the
South and west.
These prices do not equal, however the
sums which have been recently obtained
in England for fancy fowls. The Cottage
Gardner says:
t Within the last few weeks, a gentleman
near London has sold pair of. Cochin
China fowls for 80 guineas, ($15O) and
another pair for SO guineas, $3.50. He
has been offered 20 pounds for single
hen; has sold numerous eggs for one gum
ea,( So each, and has been paid down
for chickens just Matched l2 guineas( $5O)
the half dozen to be delivered month
old. One amatuer alone has paid up
wards of 100 pounds for stock birds.

enfeebled by the exhausted state of their

In the formal record of the proce edings of
the Industrial Congress that recently graced
the city of Washington, we find the follow
ing declaratory resolutions on the subject of
Land Reform"
''Resoved, That by Land Freedom we understand
the entire abolition and annulment of allproperty,
value or ownership in the soil; that the fact of i'm
provement by tillAge building is the only right
iul title by which any individual can claim tn c
possession of land, and that the cost of improve
ment ia the only gauge to determine the value.
''Resolred, That while we declare the principle
contained in the preceding resolution TO be our
starting point and cardinal proposition, we accept,
as progressive means towards the realization OF
our great objects
'lst. The freedom Of all public lands held in
trust for the people by the Government Of the
United States and by State governments, so that
they be open for settlement and use by actual cul.
tivetors.
'2d. The exemption Of the homestead from
alienation by debt"
The ultimate object of this class of reform
ers is, then, the adoption Of agarianism in lis
most radical shape but seeing that society is
in the language Of the dreamers-yet too cor
rupt to embrace the whole truth, they gen
erousy consent TO accept certain measures in
the character of instruments. If the prupo-
siIon, that there can be no properly in the soil
were confined to the debates Of the Industrial
Congress, there would be show Of reason for
regarding it simply as the product of social
idealists. But the debates in the House OF
Representatives on the Home stead bill pre-
clude such a supposiiiOn. The view was there
urged from time to time in terms almost iden-
teal with those Of the first resolution; it was
| dllated upon as an incontroyertlble argument
for the bill under discussion and We cannot al
| this moment recall the name Of speaker in
favor Of the bill who took pains TO repu.
date the agarlanism that had been adj
duced in its support. We do not impute
agrarianism, or any tendency to it, TO all who
advocated the measure but we think that
want Of judgment was evinced when lis pro
visions were not placed upon the basis of po
! Icy, as distinguished from pretensiOns to natu
/ raj right. Under the former aspect much
very much-may be said in its behalf
both as a measure Of exPediency on the par
Of the Government, and Of gain on the part o
certain classes Of citizens. Contemplated or
the latter ground, tits altogether too untenabl,
to receive the explicit sanction Of any consld
cradle number in either branch Of Congress.
When the subject comes before the Senate
we hope that care will be taken to guard agains
the possibility Of coniounding approval Of FIRE,
grants Of land with the agrarianism of the In
dustnal Congress, or the anarchical proposition
Of the more consistent PRoUDHoN.

"MR FnLaoar CANNOT cARsy NEW YoBKi" is
the cry Of his enemies. We answer, that Mr. FILL.
MORE HAS CARRIED New YoRK and can do il gain,
If any true Wing within the length and breadth Of
the land can carry it. Why can he not carry THE
State? What has he done? What has he left UNI
donea Who arc bic assailantt? What is he ns-
called for? Answer these questions, ye who will,
and every answer you can give will rebound TO his
popularity and his fame. Mr.. Fillmore wac a pop
ulsr man in New York when his labors and his fame
were confined to the State. Since then he has ac
quirod a national reputation, and is we'll known
and highly esteemed from the St. Lawrence to the
Pacific As the President Of the United States, he
has shown the highest order Of talents tho grcatost
irmness, and the most indomitable courage in the
discharge Of his duties lie has been the Pres-
dent Of the whole country, executing tholaws with
wisdom and justice, aud yet with moderation and
promptnoss. His first important act was TO arrest
the State Of Texas in the i'll conceived des gn, Of
some OF the Texans upon the feeble government OF
| New Mexico, before New Mexico was made Ter
| ritory by tho enactment Of tho Compromise inca .
surcs. He second act the execution of the la W
| in the case of Sims, the fugitive from service at
Boston, and the law executed amidst the threats
of the whole Abolition force Of Massachusetts; and
| every where, between Texas and Massachusetts,
where the law has been violated, whether in the
/
min, there has been prompt and fearle,s dscharge
/ Of duty.
We say, then, that Mr.. Fillmore has done no
thing to forfeit his popularity in New York else
where. On the contrary, ho has done every thing
4 TO merit ma honorable fninc among the wise and
judcious men OF the country. Ia the heart of this
! State to- day, among the Wing yeomanry, and
among the intelligent people Of every occupation,
he has their respect, confidence, and esteem; and
among mulhtuaes be has their gratitude for the
| able and faithful manner in which he has admins
tered the Government in a time Of great public
| citemcnt and danger. Tho very bitterness Of the
! personal assaults upon his character has made him
| popular with men-snd they arc many--who love
| fair play and Just dealing between man and man.
! If Mr.. Fillmore is not popular in New York, then
! il is not popular to do ones duty 10 HE country
and mankind to obey the oath ofoftico, to support
the Consttution,to enforce the laws; and who will
so libel lis own State ms 10 say that ell this is not

This will DO news to General Pisrcc's "nobo

There is a gentleman Of some note now sitting
In the House Of Lords whose name is d'gTnOn

He il Immensely rich, and II "Britsh gold" to which
Locoioco orntory 10 always lcrvid in imputing

lit. lie has plenty Of palaces TO live in, among
which are the famed Alnwck Castle and Keilder
Castle; also Northumberland House in London,
Stanwick Park in Yorkshire, Sion House In Mid
dlcser, and Warrington Park in Cornwall.
Now, the Democratic candidate has not only all
this amount Of rich relationship, but as he ia a
clinical descendant of tho Duke OF Northumbcr-
land" he may boast Of the most distinguished
pedigree Of any candidate we have ever had for
tie Presidency. In the chapel of the family, at
Alnwick Castle, is omblazoned in letters Of gold
the whole line OF pedigree, distinctly tracing il
back from the present duke, ather and son, 20 the
