Prlcking Horses.

We find the following capital article on this ubiect
in the last number Of the Ne,U England Farmer, by
S. w. JEwErr, of Mddlebury, VT. and it may be of
service to all willing to learn-even 10 those who pro
fess &c TO know all about it."
Anything that be done to alleviate or lessen the
pain, and inhuman practice of cutting up the tail of
the horse, should be made known. Hence this article
There are four Cords tendOns, in the tail of the
horse. The two upper ones are used to raise it, and
the lower to depress il. When the tail is raised
the muscles of the under cords relaxed, and the
muscles OF the upper at the time contracted
The lower ones, only, to be cut in setting up the
tail and sometimes the pulley will give good set
to the tail, when it follows docking alone.
The seveng of the under cords the body leaves
the muscles Of elevation to act unopposed and the set
up of good tail is secured. Short tailed carriage
horses very fashionable in the eastern cities
They often preferred for safety and convenience
as we'll as gaity and good appearance.
Many horses, after prlckng. carry very poorly in
deed it would have been better if nothing had been
done. The fault, think, is in the manner in which
the operation is performed. The operator generally
makes Two, and sometimes three incisons on each
side of the tail. That is wrong there should be one
and only cut on each side. and that at the point
where the turn or elevation to commence, which is
usually about two inches from the body. If you cut
the same cord twice, the separated part is very liable
to drop down by its own weight, and the natural at
traction towards the body-unting again at the low.
er nclslon without extension consequently the low.
er cut has been OF no service, is at this
point, realised but at the farther end of the tendon
which, IN healing, may be extended, in order to unite
with the upper and separate part and by this double
cut handsome curve is defeated
The more times the cords and tail are cut the great
er chance for inflammation, and the losing of the hair
Therefore the one cut of the tendon on each side has
much the advantage, by healing in half the time anc
a greater certainty of carrying we'll.

Stdrva tlOn In Spain.

1t appears that the miserable condition 10 which
Ireland was reduced few years ago is parallel by
what is now taking place in Spain. A writer in
French paper says
6 In vain the venerable Bishop of St. jacques in
presence of more than six hundred unfortunates re-
sembllng moving copses, who daily besiege his gate
has sold his mules and his carriage. In vain has he
reduced himself and his servants to the merest neces
sarIes IN order that he might give the rest to those
who perish of hunger. All that he or the other
bishops and clergy all that the government can do
according to the Esperamza is but drop of water to
extinguish the confagraon. When we speak of the
government however, we must remember that last

Administration of General Pierce.

The North Carolina Standard fears that the ten
dency of the times is to consoldation-toa absorp
ton of power by the General Government that the
true principles of our Government in danger
from the growing habit of looking to the General
Government for too much especially in the way of
pecuniary aid to Improvements and private schemes
But it says truly:
but the rue principles of this Government are
in peril only far Congress is concerned. Frank
lin Pierce is President the iron will of Jackson is
him, as his mantle is upon him: and we have no
fears that he will fail the honest in the hour
of trial That hour of trial he is surely destined to
encounter but we believe he will walk through it
other occasions of like character, with pur-
pose and nerve which no combination of events or
circumstances will be able to shake"
The Southern Patriot, compromise paper pub
shed at Greenville, South arolina, in speaking OF
the policy of the Administration of Gen. Pierce says
His Administration will bear scrutiny and his
appointments have been, in the main, wise and judi
cious, such patriot and the leader of great
national party should have made to heal the divis
ion of his party, and direct their affection and devo
tion to the Republic"

OpenIne of the Crystal PaIace---Reception of the
President a New York.


President at New York.
Our Northern exchange papers give most glowing
accounts of the reception of Gen. Pierce at New
York. on the 18th instant. A Geographic CORES
pondenoe of the Baltimore papers says that
At 10 o'clock this morning the committee of the
city councils, together with the committee of recep
ton arrived at Castle Garden having the President of
the United States and suite in charge, accompanied by
Gov Fort of New Jersey, whilst salutes were being
fired from Gouveneurs and Bellows Islands and from
the Battery under the direction of Brigadier Gen. MOI
rs.
After entering Castle Garden, which was thronged
with people, the President was formally welcomed TO
the city by the Mayor, TO which he responded in
neat and appropriate speech, which was received with
great enthusiasm. The first 1ivsionl of military were
stationed on the battery, with immense throng of
spectators, and were reviewed by the President, on
horseback, amid the shouts and hurras of the multi
tude. The procession then formed, and was full
one hour in passing out OF the Battery The parade
was very splendid, but storm of rain for a
! time interrupted the evolutions of the troops.
After the storm had ceased the procession took up
its line of march for the Crystal Palace. Throug h.
out the entire route the streets were literally damned
with the masses of people, and the President was
greeted with cheers, waving of handk erchiefs, &c.
At O'Clock the cortege reached the Crystal Palace
and the President and Cabinet conducted to a
platform on the north nave, where were also assem-
bled Generals Scott and Wool, Gov Hunt and many
other distinguished personages from home and abroad
On the platform on the east nave were the officers
of the Army and Navy British officers, Mayors of diff
ferent cities, Foreign Consuls, Mayor and Councils Of
New York, and various public functonares
I The opening prayer was delivered by the Right Rev
Bishop Wainwright, followed by an anthem sung by
the New Ysrk Harmonic, and accompanied by the
National Guard Band.
The president then welcomed by Theodore
Sedgwick in neat address, to which he replied in
very short address. pleading his inability to speak
at length He seemed very much fatguej. The
ceremonies were then closed with HandPs celebrated
hallelujah chorus from the Messiah, which, suns
by an immense chorus, produced a magnificent musi
cal effect
While the guests occupied with viewing tn
Exhibition, grand concert was given by Dodworth'
and the National Guards Bands.

For the Journal.

Mr.. EDITOR will any Whig through the col
umns of the Herald or otherwise, answer the follow
lowing questions Is not distribution OF the pup
lie lands, or the proceeds of the sales among 1ne
different States of the Union, in direct conflict with
the deeds of cession made by the andhoding States
Are not the proceeds of the sales of the public anos
solemnIy pledged for the payment of the public oeo'
and would it not be a gross violation OF natlonal
faith and honor to appropriate the lands to differ
ent purpose until this debt is paid? Is there any
difference in principle between the distribution OF
the lands and the proceeds of the lands and is not
each mode of distribution subject to the same con-
sttutional objections? have submitted these ques-
tons to any Wing for response, as do not oeheVe
anv one who feels himself to be a Democrat, can
sincerely and seriously advocate any such federal
measures as land distribution Il say sincerely and
SERIOUSLY for the reason that believe that the ad-
vocation of any such measure by disappointed cand
dates is intended but as a ruse to wheedle Wing
votes; and in proof Of this fact will merely ask
did not Mr. LEAK in his speech made in Whining
ton during County Court expressly declare that the
distribution of the proceeds of the sales of public
lands was inexpedent, impolitic. and repugnant
to the constitution and yet was he not at the same
time in favor of the distribution of the lands tb
selves. BaFWhat miserable humbuggery. @a1a
